Senator Cochran is voting with the ex? treme Radicals in the Senate to prevent any election--for Chief Justice, - because he -is afraid that if there is an. election Judge. Willard will be promoted. This course of the Republican Senators is in keeping with their former career, and Mr. Cochran seems willing to identify himself with them. The entertainment given in Masonic Hall on hot Monday night by the ladies of the Episcopal Church was an elegant affair. Considering the inclement evening it was well attended, and was eminently successful. The ladies in charge deserve great credit for there enargy, skill and taste which were dis? played throughout the entire undertaking. Col; Jnnies A. Hoyt, formerly of the An? derson Istxluoxkcxb, has become one of the propriewfaTof tho Columbia Register, and < on last Thursday assumed charge- of the editorial-department of that paper in a graceful and well-timed salutatory. We predict for the Register a prosperous and useful career under the direction of Col. Hoyt as its editor. ' Mrs. W. W. Humphreys sent us last week a most beautifully arranged waiter of straw? berries and. flowers. The berries were of the largest size we have ever seen. Some of them measured two and one-half inches ?round, and seven of them weighed a little over a quarter of a pound. We had no idea that this fruit could be grow a in such re? markable perfection up here. - If any of our friends want their photo tographs or pictures of any kind taken, now is the time. Capt. J. A. Wren, an artist of great experience and rare ability, will re? main in Anderson only a short time, and . those who have not secured one of his pic? tures will do well to call immediately. He has charge of Mr. J. D. Maxwell's gallery, at Mr. Borstel*? old place of business. Rev. W. H. Strickland, the accomplished pastor of the Anderson Baptist Church, left on. last-Monday afternoon for New Orleans, whither be has gone to attend the meeting of the 'Southern Baptist Convention, of which he is a delegate from the Convention of this State. He has promised to give us an account of the Convention and its ses? sions, which will no doubt Interest our readers. We are indebted to Mr. Silas Hall for some very fine strawberries, which, though not as large at we have seen, were of good ske and of an excellent variety. We are gratified to learn that the culture of this delicious fruit is extending in the country, for if our farm em will only give a little attention to their strawberry bads, they can enjoy, at a trifling expense, one of the greatest luxuries of the spring season. On last Friday .night a narrow escape from injury, was made by. two gentlemen - who were crossing the foot-bridge over .the railroad cut on Main street. One of the plank over the cut had slipped to one side, and of course when it was stepped on reared up in such a manner as to throw one of the gentlemen, who came near being precipi? tated from the bridge into the cut. The flooring of this bridge ought to be renewed, and if it is not done the plank that are on it now ahont? be nailed'down. We are requested to remind our readers that'the ladies of the Baptist Sewing Society will have a strawberry festival at the Uni? versity on next Friday night, at which all' of our citizens are invited to be present. There is no admission charge, but gentlemen and ladies ore requested to carry their purses in order to secure a participation in the en? joyment of the sumptuous feast which will be prepared. The proceeds from the enter? tainment are to be devoted to the procure? ment of a parsonage for the Baptist Church. We regret to learn that Rev. 8. B. Jones, of Pendleton, is suffering from an affection of bis eyes, which threatens him with seri? ous inconvenience and injury. He left on last Monday for Baltimore, whither he has gone to consult the celebrated occuliat, Dr. Chisolm. We trust he may return with his sight completely and permanently restored, for he is an able and eloquent divine of the Methodist Church, the loss of whose active service would not only be felt by his Church, but by the community and State in which be lives. Mr. John Rothwell, Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association of j Charleston, has been conducting a series of meetings, according to announcement, for the past week in Anderson. The exercises consist of a morning prayer meeting, in Temperance Hall, an open air meeting, when the weather will permit, upon the square at 0 p. du, and a consecration meeting in the Presbyterian Church at 8 p. m. Mr. Roth well is a Christian gentleman of earnest j and winning manner, whose labors in our midst we hope have not been in vain. He proposes to remain during the entire week. . We were pained to hear of a very serious if not fatal accident which befell Mrs. Carrie, wife of Dr. Miller, a prominent and highly respectable citizen of Bickens County, living near Pendleton, on last Wednesday. Mrs. Miller had been in feeble health for some time, but was able to go about her room or the house, and on the occasion in question she was standing near the fire-place, while . others of the family were in an adjoining room. She fainted and fell in such manner as to catch fire, and before the flames could be extinguished was dreadfully burned. At last accounts her physician had despaired of her recovery. We trust, however, that she may be relieved of her injuries and re? stored to health. A bellicose inhabitant of this section of our globe was sitting quietly in his domicil last Saturday about dark, when he heard a crowd pelting his house with rocks. Gath? ering his doable-barrel shot gun he started for the scene of action, bat the rocking pro? cess became so terrific that he decided to fol? low-the illustrious example of. the ex-chief magistrate of this commonwealth, and "sought shelter from the impending destruc? tion beneath his bed. The nextmorninghe was surprised to hear of the hail storm, and then wished he had gone out to shoot those fellows who were rocking his house. As he has a double-barrel shot gun, for prudential reasons, we withold his name for the pres? ent, and refer all enquirers upon the subject to either Mr. N. K. Sullivan, who is our in? formant, or to the Coroner of Anderson County, who, we learn, is acquainted with the facts of the cose. RAILROAD MEETING. The Town Council oh last Monday held a meeting to consider the propriety of send? ing delegates to a railroad convention, which convened in Augusta yesterday to consult upon the connection of the Southern sea? board by a direct railroad route to Cincin? nati and the great West. After consulta? tion, they decided to* send delegates to rep? resent the town of Anderson, and Messrs. J.J3. Murray and W. W. Humphreys were chosen. We think the action of the Council in deciding to have Anderson represented at this meeting was wise, and are glad to announce that the gentlemen designated took; their departure for Augusta on lost Tuesday, where we have no doubt they will faithfully and ably represent the interests of this town and County. HAMPTON BALL AT PENDLETON. T?. ; boll given by the Pendleton Dancing Club in Hunter's Hall on la~ t Friday even? ing in honor of Gov. Hampton, was a most brilliant and successful affair, and was large? ly attended from different portions of the up-country. The room was nicely fitted up, and was most el eg. uly and tastefully deco? rated by the fair daughters of Pendleton. 'TJpon entering the hall? a* handsome en? graving of our Governor hung below the conqueror's motto? "Veni vidi via"?in guilt letters, and beneath was "Hampton oar. Governor," in evergreen letters trimmed in roses of different hues. A magnificent corn a copia filled with rare and choice hot? house flowers hung upon the wall, em? blematic of returning prosperity to our State, and In another place an evergreen anchor with the words "Anchored at Last," told that the ship of State had passed safely through the raging storm of Republicanism, and was now secure and safe in the port of peace and rest. Those present enjoyed themselves beyond expression, and the mazes of the dance beguiled the followers of Terpsichore until a late hour of the night, when they departed with most pleasant memories of the evening. DISASTROUS HAIL SI OEM. Anderson County of late years' has been noted for severe and destructive bail storms, but on last Saturday the most extensive and disastrous' one which has ever visited this section passed from above Walhalla through the middle of this County to a point below.Dwin's Mill in Abbeville, do? ing great and irreparable injury to crops, gardens and houses. Of course it was not equally destructive at all points, but more than half of its route has been left a scene of desolation and ruin. Starting at Walhalla, the hail fell fast and thick, but was small and did little or no se? rious injury until it reached the neighbor? hood of Seneca City, where it gathered fury and fell to the depth of several inches upon the level ground. Here the fury of the storm seemed to travel down the river, de? stroying from one to two-thirds of the wheat and cotton crops, killing chickens, and in one instance breaking a pig's back, until it reached a point three or four miles below Maxwell's bridge, where it ceased. At about seven o'clock the storm reached Pendleton, and'.was comparatively light, but gathered its wrath; some two miles this side, and was destructive along and below the line of the railroad until it struck the 8ix and Twenty Creek, where it was very disastrous in man/ places, the reports from the plantations of Messrs. J. Bel ton Wat? son and Wm. Burriss having suffered most. After passing this point it was lighter until it reached the town of Anderson, about 8 p. m. The hail here was as large but not as thick as at some other points, and beyond the breaking of between seven hundred and one thousand panes of glass in the village, did very little injury. From this point it seemed to go up Rocky River, and was ter? rific from the forks of the road at Mr. R. J. Boole's over to the Bailey settlement on the river. < After passing this point, it was again light.until it came to Broadaway Creek, from which point over to Neal's Creek it was probably more severe than at any other place. After passing this point, it became gradually lighter until it disappeared. The area of the storm was, as far as heard from, about sixty miles in length, with an average breadth of from five to eight miles. It seemed to be worse along the line of wa? ter-courses and in hilly sections. Birds and chickens were killed in various portions of the County, and great damage done to tho fruit crop. Upon the plantation of Dr. Adger, near Pendleton, a horse which had been driven rapidly from the village dropped dead, whether from the effects of the hail or not is unknown. There were quantities of hail-stones as large as guinea-eggs, and some as large as hen-eggs, measuring two inches iu diameter. The hail was followed by heavy, washing rains, which also did very considerable damage. Many of our citizens have lost heavily. Their crops of small grain and cotton have been literally ruined, and they are now compelled to replant in order to make anything. The question with many of them is, whether to replant cotton or corn ; and if we may be pardoned for ob? truding our advice upon farmers about this question, we would urge them to plant corn on all land that cotton has been destroyed upon. One" row of corn and one of peas alternating will make, as a general rule, more planted at this season than cotton. The cotton weed will be as largo if the seed is planted now as if it hod been planted a month ago, but the yield will be immensely less. Another thing to be considered-is the danger of the price of cotton going down mach lower, while corn and peas will rise in price in consequence of the European war. This is no myth, but an actual reality, which the capitalists all over the country realizo. It is not impossible that if our people will plant corn and peas where they have had cotton destroyed, they may not bo such very heavy losers by the hail. At any rate, we know that our people are a busy and energetic people, and if labor can repair their losses, they will be speedily re? paired. snroixa convention. We arc requested to announce that the Anderson County Singing Convention will hold a semi-annual meeting, on the 26th and 27th of May, with Bethesda Church, located in the Northeastern portion of this County. Teachers and leaders of bacred vocal music in and out of the County are respectfully invited to attend. Also Sunday School Superintendents and all others who favor improvement in music. We hope there will be a. large attendance from all portions of the County, as these occasions are not only improving the character of vocal music throughout the County, but are also doing a great deal to encourage socia? bility "between different sections of our County. -? proposed extension OF anderson. We notice among the many measures in? troduced in the present General Assembly is one to amend the charter of Anderson by extending the corporate limits of the town, so as to make it a mile in every direction from the Court House. This mokes the town in.the form of a circle, and takes in a number of color<*l voters. It will, in all probability, however, not affect our town elections, as we learn that most of them have been voting heretofore, believing that they lived in town. The form of the village will under the new charter, be a little in? convenient as to the location of its boundary, which will be a curve instead of a square. We learn that the measure is gotten up at the request of the present Town Council, and presume they had satisfactory reasons for their action. We hope they have suffi? ciently considered the result of the;change to know that it will not affect the political status of the town. We have had enough of Republican ism in our town affairs, as well as inj3tate matters. discrimination ut feei6ht8. -< Mr. Orr presentfedithe Memorial of the* Anderson Board of Trade in the House of Representatives on last Thursday, asking ! for legislation upen the subject of unjust discriminations by railroads, and it was re? ferred to the Committee on Railroads, with instructions to report a bill to equalise freights. We have so repeatedly expressed ! our views upon this subject that it is scarce? ly necessary for us to signify approbation of this measure. The present abominable sys? tem of adding to mtermediate points a suffi- - cicnt amount to pay for the low rates necessitated to points at which there is com? petition, has been practiced by the South Carolina Road to such a. tyrannical extent that the Legislature owes it to the people of the whole State to put an end to it as speedi? ly as possible. This road, controlling as it does the Greenville and Columbia and the' Blue Ridge Railroads, has by its short sight? ed course injured many portions of the State, and that too, as we believe, without receiving commensurate reward for itself. By making freights high to intermediate points and low to Greenville, they have driven large quantities of trade to that city and points along the Air Line Railroad. The greater portion of goods sold in Green ville and Spartanburg ore carried over the Air Line, which is the direct and natural shipping route at those points to or from the North or West, and the South Carolina Road ought to have foreseen that it could not hope to carry the freights of points sit? uated like these. Hence it was clearly their policy to give cheap rates to intermediate points where they have the entire carrying trade, and by building up a large business in these towns secure the transportation of on equally large amount of freights. But instead of this they have waged war on in? termediate towns by placing an enormously high, tariff upon airfreights, thereby forcing the trade from these places to Greenville and Spartanburg where the Air Line sup? plies the greater part of their freights. The result is that Greenville and Spartanburg are being .'built up while Anderson, Abbe? ville, Union and such points are being in? jured. !' Another point of view, worthy of consid? eration, is that trade is driven' away from Charleston to Atlanta and the North by this contracted policy, for it is the smaller towns in the State which have been the best patrons of our own "city by the sea," while the merchants of Greenville and Spartan? burg generally buy further from home. Hence, when trade is driven from these smaller towns to points on the Air Line, the business of Charleston is of course in? jured to that extent. -We do not believe we make a mistake in saying that the conduct of the South Carolina Road has injured Charleston and many other points in South Carolina in: merely. It is just one of those coses where legislative interference is needed, and we trust the time has arrived when Carolina has a General Assembly that is patriotic and firm enough to apply the remedy which has so long been needed to protect all sections cf our Stato from further injury at the hands of an unfeeling and oppressive monopoly. to the COLORED people OF ander? son county. Mr. Editob: Having been interrogated ; by many persons of Anderson County, through-private Communications and other? wise, who, as yet, oie in doubt as to the true state of political affairs here at the Capital, nud who seem to bo incredulous as to who is the true Governor of South Carolina, I beg leave to state, through the medium of your columns, to those of my friends who are yet in suspense?especially the col? ored people?that Gen. Hampton is now the true Governor of South Carolina, beyond any possible doubt; and I sincerely believe, judging from his line of policy since his in? auguration up to the present thus, that he will not only make a good Governor for the white people of this State, but also a good Governor for the colored people. There has no man?no previous Governor since recon- < struction?taken such a noble and strong stand for the colored element of this State as Gov. Hampton. He has manifested a willingness to give the colored people every advantage possible in the pursuit of wealth, peace, happiness and prosperity. In order to give your minds ease, and to have you get rid of that restless political spirit engen? dered during the campaign, which exists in a great degree yet, and that you may have more confidence in Gov: Hampton's pure and forgiving sentiment toward those who opposed him on Governor, permit me to cite an incident I know to have occurred relative to Governor Hampton. There is an old colored man who formerly lived on Gen. Hampton's premises, and, I by the way,' is yet living there. This old man took strong political grounds against Gov. Hampton,and in his case more unwarranted then others. This political opposition on? the part of the old man took place just after the General was nominated, for Governor, and really continued .until, the; political struggle was over, yet was allowed to do business for the General. The suppositions arc that tho .General had full knowledge of the fact, and yet he manifested no displeasure toward this man, who continues to labor, I understand, on more favorable conditions than before. Now, who could suppose that a man who was so magnanimous toward such an indi? vidual as mentioned above would be instru? mental in curtailing the rights of others, who were much less conspicuous in their opposition against him. " No person can doubt the good intentions and sincerity of Gov, Hampton toward- all classes. He has asserted time and again on the stump that he would know no man by his color. I find Ibis mucb of his assertions to be true since I have been here. It has been the idea of some of my colored friends that if Gen. Hampton be Governor" he would be instru? mental in abridging certain rights which they enjoyed under republican rule; but I have this to say to my colored friends of Anderson that no such idea is contemplated by the General, end if Gov. Hampton con? tinues as he has commenced, and I do not think he will deviate, if allowed to pursue his own course, my word for it, when his term of office shall have closed, you, with others, will not have anything to regret be? cause of his having been Governor. On the contrary, I think the colored people will be I so well pleased with him as Governor, that they will in future seek his services as Gov? ernor again. I sincerely believe that Hamp ton will protect your rights. Let all go to work now on'your farms ; throw aside po? litical contentions; get rid of politics; bury Fit and rmdred things in the past f think only of the bright future which awaits-us not far in the. distance. Plant corn, peas, 8' ototoes and other staples, but less cotton, ast your lot and fortune on Hampton's shin, with the hope of landing at a safe and Safet haven. I snail write you more ex ten rely in my next. Believe.me, yon have nothing to lose under the Hampton govern? ment. I remain your friend and well-wisher, G. D. WILLI AM8. Columbia, 8. C.

On Tuesday, the 1st inst., we bad a White frost. Its damage was not of much conse? quence..Saturday evening, ffieTHKinst., about 6 o'clock a very dark and angry look? ing cloud made its appearance in the North? west, and in less time than an hour every plant and herb was leveled with the earth; even the trees, in certain localities, were en? tirely bereft of every sprig of foliage as well as fruit by a hail storm. The hail fell to the depth of three and four inches, some lumps the size of guinea eggs and larger. In fiats where it drifted and washed by the water, it was almost o foot deep.; The next morning dead birds could be found in every direction, killed by the hail. Even shingles were split 'and knocked from the; roofs of | the houses. The storm extended about eight or ten miles in width?from Seneca River to Lebanon Church?but the heaviest and most destructive portion passed"over Mr. Adger*8, the Factory, Sandy Springs, T. L.

Simpson A Barnes for a considerable period, yielding a net profit per day of about $1.25 to the band. The mine was abandoned while it was paying as just stated; hence we may conclude that there's gold in the old mine yet.A most destructive storm of wind, rain and hail swept over a tract of country lying just above Townville lost Saturday evening, and accounts of the damage done arc really distressing. In places where the hail was most furious all crops are almost j utterly destroyed, and the farmers will nave f to plant again. , Fruit trees were stripped of | their crop?in fact all vegetation suffered most severely.

No fears are felt as to his subsequent success, or to the future course or management of the dear old Ih tellige5c1e, but the feeling is closely akin to the pang produced by the loss of a warm friend or trusted watchman. Superstition. A panacea, or "cure-oil," is one of the myths of the age of superstitution. Dr. R. V. Pierce does not recommend any one or even his whole list of standard remedies as adequate to cure every disease. For severe lingering Coughs, bronchial, throat, and chronic lung diseases, he believes his Golden Medical Discovery is unsurpassed, but it will not cure you if your fnngs are half! wasted by consumption. The Discovery not only exercises a potent Influence over pul? monary affections, by reason of its pectoral properties, but possesses also the most valu? able alterative, or blood-cleansing properties, and is therefore a sovereign remedy in blood and skin affections. But while it will cure scrofulous and other ulcers or sores, blotches, pimples, and eruptions, it will not cure can? cer, nor does its manufacturer claim any such merit for it as is done by proprietors of other blood-cleansing medicines, who dis? honestly try to-deceive the afflicted into the belief that their preparations will occom Slish impossibilities. By reason of its real nrinsic merit it has. a sale surpassing that of any oth er blood and cough medicine. Bia.
