Feelings that wt slumbered during the preceding twelve onths, must be awakened by the associations that cluster around the glorious Fourth. We tope never to see the like again. Bat whose fault is it? There is blame some were; and we attribute it in a great measure the illiberally of pur own citixens. Our PMnty-men and their wives and daughters look ptne 4th as an era in life.

Will the'y never get ashamed of such f-iuoacnptions as half a dollar, or perhaps Every one" who reads the papers, or has watched the signs of the times, knows that here, at the South, nearly all the honorable and profitable offices have been conferred upon Se cessionists. They have been made heads of Departments, Ministers to Foreign Courts, Cot lector of the revenue. Postmasters, and, in short, they wield alfthe influence which attends the possession of office under the Federal Government. This, say the " Tuscaloosa Monitor," is sup posed to be an experiment on the part of Presi dent Pierce, the object of which is to endeavor to manufacture " good Union men " oat of the fire-eaters and Nashville Conventionists of 1850-"51. It is a novel plan, and reverses all previously known ways of conversion from er ror. It is to be hoped that it may be success ful, for it is hardly in the nature of things that men should conspire to break np a government, from which they are deriving such tangible benefit. It is, however, somewhat ominous of the failure of the President's plan, that these men should persevere in maintaining an obsti nate silence as to their having undergone any change of opinion. Not one of them has made a public recantation of his error in opposing the Compromise, and advocating disunionism. They stalk grimly into the offices, apparently under the impression that thy are only receiv ing the just reward of their patriotic conduct, in attempting to destroy the Union. Should another struggle ensue such as that of 1851 it is probable that this line of "patriotism" will be extensively patronised, seeing that it has proved to be the most direct road to preferment and distinction! The above is only one part, however, of Presi dent Pierce's plan for metamorphosing malcon tents and disorganisers into staunch supporters of the government and laws. He is making, on a large scale, the same experiment with the Northern abolitionists. He seems to reeard 'treasury pap" as such an unfailing specific such a "king cure all" that however different may be the constitution of a secessionist and a freesoilcr, however unlike thoir disease, the "pap" is certain to bestow on both healthy and radical change. And to show that he has pet- feet reliance upon the efficacy of this "cure," he selects from the abolitionists the very worst cases" that can be found. Here is a new nest of these traitorous miscreants, perfectly leprous with abolitionism, whom Pierce has selec ted for promotion, in a small circuit around the city of Boston. We quote from a Boston pa per : Little, of Marehfield, the late freesoH mem ber of Congress from the second district, has been annointed Collector of Plvmouth : Lewis r c Josselyn, late Coalition Clerk of the Senate, has been appointed surveyor of the district of Sa lem ; J. S. C. Knowlton, late Coalition Senator from Worcester county, has recently been ap pointed Postmaster of Worcester; Mr. Trench, editor of a Coalition paner, Postmaster at Springfield ; Mr. Seaver, of Roxbury, Postmas ter of that city; Mr. Caldwell, of Cambridge, Postmaster of that city ; and Mr. Merrill, an out and out abolitionist. Postmaster at Glouces ter. We could mention others, but these must suffice. The men are all anti slavery Coalition ists ; men who were part and parcel of that Coalition which placed Henry Wilson at the head of the Senate of Massachusetts, and sent Charles Sumner to the Senate of the U. States. If the new article which President Pierce has introduced into the materia medica shall work a cure on such "cases" is these, it will throw Dr. Townsend's sarsaparilla completely into the shade. The great danger, however, is, that enough of the article cannot be furnished to keep both the Secession and Abolition hospitals fully supplied, and that if the patients are "turned out" before a complete cure ia effected, there is a dead certainty of a relapse.

A jaunt into the interior, to the great Man chester of America, Lowell, and other manufac turing places, has by no means lessened my ad miration cf, the industry, enterprise, ingenuity, thrift, skill, intelligence, and "euteness" of the New England-people, or, as we call them down Sduth, "Yankees." To a Southerner their thrift is really a matter of wonder. How they can live and thrive upon such' poor, rocky, sterile land as some of them at least cultivate and get rich upon, is a mystery to all but the uninitiated; and yet poor, rocky, cold and ungrateful as some of their hills appear to be, they every where present the appearance of comfort, and in many places, of luxury. Not an old decayed or dilapidated bouse have I seen in my last jaunt out of the City, but thousands of neat, white cottages, with green blinds and neatly cul tivated grounds, indicating refinement, comfort, industry, and economy on the part of their in mates. Even the Irish, of whom there are oc casional settlements, partaking of the spirit of the native inhabitants, and becoming imitative, j as man is apt to be every where, build neat houses from which they discard the pig, the cow and the donkey, and live in a comfortable, and to them, a luxurious manner. , The country around Lowell is generally sandy and rocky ; the soil is consequently thin and poor ; and yet, so thickly is it inhabited, so nu merous the white houses, large and small, and some of them like palaces, that it seems to be almost a continuous village. Lowell itself, is a large city, a perfect hive of operatives, yet as orderly as aquaker meeting. The factories are generally immense, four, five, or six story build ings, filled with tidy, well dressed men and wo men, who live in the midst of a "hum off indus try" perfectly deafening to one not accustomed to it. Standing upon a sugar loaf hill about two hundred feet above the level of the sea,, which over-looked the country for many miles around, and from which I could see and count the white spires of eight or ten surrounding towns, I could not but ask myself " from whence come all this wealth and thrift which lie scattered around my feet T" The answer soon suggested itself : In dustry said, "I have done it." Man here makes every element labor for him : he harnesses the steam and keeps it steadily at work for his bene fit; he compels the river and even the falling "branch" or rill, to turn the wheel that puts in operation some curious machine which his own, or the ingenuity of some one else, has invented to save labor, or rather to perform ten times the labor in the same space of time. He receives orders for his products from distant parts, by lightning, and forthwith he sends them off to the place of their destination in a car whirled away by an "iron horse" that puffa and blows and screams, but never tires. Another message by lightning announces that in less time than it formerly took to get a letter by stage, the ar ticles ordered are safely arrived ! Every thing goes on with the regularity of clock-work, and the speed of "the fastest time ;" all are as busy as ants, not a man of them all having time to stop and "take -a drink,"' much less to invite others to do so. sucii is J ew oglana ; but tins is by no means all of New England. Not to speak of her common schools, her academies, colleges and "meeting-houses," would be to leave out the part of Hamlet in the play of Hamlet. These are her especial pride ; it is to these that she owes her intelligence, her morals, and her religion. Here her youth are trained, not al ways in the way they should go, but are fed with a reasonable share of "reading, writing and arithmetic," moral lessons and physical suasion ; the rod and reason each doing its share, to put them in the right path ; catechism and custards, long sermons and "short sauce," going, to make up the inner and outer mam, from infancy to the age of discretion. As an evidence of the attention they pay to common schools, and the importance they at tach to them, I must mention that in the village of Chelmsford, four miles from Lowell, I exam ined a school house which cost the school dis trict five thousand dollars, the number of school chrildren in the district being about 70 or 80. The tax laid by the inhabitants on themselves to build this, was from ten to three hundred and fifty dollars each ! The tax of one individual not having a child to send to school, was $325, which was paid as cheerfully as one would pay a physician's, or a grocerbill. Speaking with him on the subject, he said, "I have had my share of the benefits of a Naw England common school education, and am quite willing now to do something in return, for those that are to follow me" Now, when I add that there was already in this district, what we should call, down South, an excellent brick school bouse, though not of the most modern and approved construction, I cannot bat fear some of your readers will suspect me of roman cing. I confess I looked upon the circumstance as something extraordinary, but, at the same time, characteristic of the people, and, as such, worthy of note. But methinks I hear you exclaim, "this may all be very well, but we should like the people better if they would mind their own affairs and let our s alone." I respond to the sentiment ; but while I do so, I must say that I have been agreeably surprised to find so many who warm ly condemn the proceedings of the abolitionists and free soilers, and all agitation of the subject of slavery. I have been gratified to fall in with bo many Whigs who are ready and desirous to cut all connection with free-soilers, and to join any sound, patriotic men, whose cardinal! prin ciple shall be the preservation of the Union," an 4 peace ancLharmony among all its geographical sections. The Clay Whigs and ' the - Webster Whigs are sound upon these subjects wherever I have met them, and are resolved sot' to be mixed- up with the Abby Folaom party" in any futore election, v If the present' administration think proper to court thesa fanatics by distribu-' A SERIES OF CALAMITIES IN N. YORK, ting offices among them, as they have done, and The Steamboat , Explosion Fire and Loss of are still doing, let them ; but the Whigs, of whom I speak, wash their hands of the whole concern, and will have no r art nor lot with them 1 Quite a number of changes have lately been made in the Custom House here, the appointees, if we may believe democratic papers, being of the same motly character of those appointed by the President, there beinga 'very considerable' sprinkling of rabid free soilers among them. The consequence is, something very unlike sat isfaction, concord, harmony, and happiness in the pie-bald party self-styled the democratic in this quarter. It is supposed, by the Union Whigs in this State, that full one half of the vote east here for Gen. Pierce was cast by them, as a very large number of the democratic party refused to vote and staid 'at home. They (the Whigs) voted for Pierce because they considered him more relia ble in regard to the Compromise, than -Gen. Scott; what their disappointment is at seeing Union Whigs every where thrust out and free soilers taking their places, you can as easily im agine as I describe. OBSERVER. FAYETTEVILLE AND NORTHERN PLANK ROAD COMPANY. The anrinal meeting of the Stockholders of this Company took jdace on Thursday last, nenry lny, lisq., tjnairnian, and John M. Rose, Secretary. A Dividend of 8 per Cent, was declared. The Stockholders passed a resolution request ing the President and Directors to re-open, at their discretion, books of subscrintion for $15. 000 to continue the road to a noint about 2.i miles from Fayetteviile, .common to Raleigh, and to Wayne and Johnston counties. The present capital is $32,100. The Compa ny owns the Bridg-j across Cape Fear River and 13 miles qf finished road, with two miles in a state of forwardness. The average amount of interest on the money paid by trie Stockholders, calculated to July 1, iojo, is i per cent, rrom tne receipts ot the Company dividends amounting to 14 per cent, have been declared, and a surplus of about $1000 left making a clear gain to the Stock holder on his investment of 7 percent, more than the legal interest on his money (not esti mating the surplus) from the date of the sub scription. We call attention to the above from the "Fayetteviile Observer." If a road, only com pleted thirteen miles, can pay a yearly dividend of eight per cent, with a reserve surplus for re pairs, what may not bo expected from it, when it is complete? And recollect, citizens of Wake, that Raleigh was the intended terminus, and, so far as. the efforts of Fayetteviile are con cerned, will yet be. Will you hold back ? Will you say that the bread must be put in your mouths before you can eat it? Will you permit a company to obtrude itself within your borders, without forestalling them by your aid? It is common, here, to say, that the losses on the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road have ab sorbed all the 8 pare capital of the town. That plea may answer for Raleigh, possibly; but it will not do for the country. Every farmer has an interest in the increased value of his lands. Each one blesses the facility which brings him nearer or sooner to market. In this view, there is no one on the projected line, who ought to hesitate one minute in going largely into the work. The Merchants of this place, if they can find their pocket-books, will also find it to their in terest, to connect themselves with all points of communication. They ma want little by the way of Fayetteviile, at present; but time is ma king rapid developments, and, perhaps, before long, they may depend upon the Cape Fear River for some of their supplies. At any rate, there is already some trade between the two places, and, with proper facilities, travel enough, to retain the relations of friendship, which have always existed between the two towns Let our citizens and countj-nien ccme for ward and meet at once the generous proposition of the company, which is nothing loss than to bring the road to our own doors ! life Extraordinary Hail Storm Great Dam age to Property- Scenes at the Crystal Palace Several Persons Killed and Wounded Effect of the Storm in Williamsburg, &c. A series of calamities occurred in New York on Friday last, .involving the loss of fourteen lives, the maiming of as many more, and the de struction of a lirgo amount of property. The first was the explosion of one of the boiler flues of the steamer New World, (as mentioned in our telegraphic despatch on Saturday,) as she was about to leave for Albany, at 7 o'clock in tho morning. By this accident Eli Buel, John Reid, John Donnelly, Jos. Fosdick, James Por ter, and John J, Monks, firemen, were so badly scalded as to cause their deaths ; and John Fos ter, a waiter, in his fright, jumped overboard and was drowned. Washington Hawcs, the chief engineer, and Edward Martin, deck hand, were badly scalded, and several others slightly. The fire on the same morning, which resulted in John Cushing being burnt to death, and Mrs. Sophia Healy being killed by jumping from a fourth story window, was at the bakery of Jas. Donegan which -was entirely destroyed. Two entire families eame near perishing in the flames. 1 ney were compelled to leap from a lourth story window. On the same morning a little child of John Oberhuber fell into a large pot of coffee, by which it was scalded to death. But the most serious calamity of the day en sued from a violent hail storm, accompanied by lightning and a high wind, which passed over the upper section of the city between five and six o'clock in the afternoon, lasting about half an hour. The hail stones, or pieces of ice, as they are represented, were of extraordinary size, and clattered down upon the roofs of the houses like a shower of brickbats. It is said the ship yard of Mr. Thomas Collyer, at the Dry Dock, was covered with" irregulany shaped pieces of ice, or large clusters of hail-stones. Several of them were measured, one of which was G inches in circumference, another 7 inches, and a third measured 3 inches Ions and 2 inches thick. liamsburg, were unroofed, several struck bvliirh ning and greatly damaged, and many , persons -j injured. A number of the hailstones which! tell in some parts of the city were from four to . five inches in length , and three to four inches. thick, scarcely a house cai be found that did suffer more orj less from either the wind, hail stones or lightning. . , , I A TEMPERANCE ROW."

We notice with sincere regret the death of Dr. Nathaniel Chapman, one of the most emi nent physicians of Philadelphia, and for many years connected with the University of Pennsyl vania. He departed this life on Friday after noon last, about six o'clock, at bis residence in Philadelphia. Dr. Chapman has long occupied a prominent place among the physicians and men of science of this country. As a lecturer, he was able, lucid, and popular, and he was a universal favorite with students, and indeed with the profession generally. He retired from the University, a few years since, inconsequence of failing health, and he has been laboring un der severe indisposition for some time. He was. we believe, in his seventy-fifth year. His loss will be regarded as a public one, and ap propriate tributes will no doubt be paid to his memory. Definition of the Term "Reformed W.higjP Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, in speaking of Thos. LI Clingman, candidate for Congress in North Carolina, whom the locofocos claim as a "reformed whig," thus defines Clingman's posi tion and the meaning of the term : The "reformation" effected in Clingman, by which he was metamorphosed into a locofo co, was a Very queer one, indeed. He so far forgot his whigism as to declare himself a se cessionist and disunionist, and thereupon the Whigs kicked him out of their party. We have made this statement to snow what the locofocos mean when they speak of "reform ed whies." . A reformed whig is a poor devil who has professed to change his political opin ions, and who has therefore been kicked out of the whig party. Such a creature may make a very good locofoco he may' be willing to adopt any opinion that his master may prescribe ; but be never can be relied on. Virginia and North Ciu-olina, shows the high esti mation in which it is held in those States, where it has been instrumental in awakening a spirit ef improvement, which will soon make them take that rank to which they are entitled, from the fa cilities of improvement within their reach, their climate and geographical position.

When together ihey would weigh about two pounds. The garden at tie back of the house had also a large number of pieces of ice scattered over it, and a skylight at the top of the bouse was smash ed by the hailstones. A piece of ice fell on the pavement before a gentleman's window, of the size of a man's fist, followed by one much larg er, which, however, broke into fragments when it struck the ground. The force of the hail stones broke several skylights, and after the ice-balls had lain for some time, and were con siderably dissolved, a hatfull could be taken up, averaging the siae of hens' eggs. The Commer cial says The grandest exhibition that will ever be seen and heard in the place, we witnessed at the Crystal Palace. : About ten minutes after the storm burst, the most terrific hailstones we ever saw began to rattle like discharges of musketry upon the tin roof and glass sides. Some of the masses of ice were as large as hens' eggs. There were probably a thousand excited workmen in the building, and a good many exhibitors and visitors, among whom were some twenty ladies. A portion cf the frame work of the addition next to 42d street went down with a terrible crash, and a part of the brick wall of the engine house on the opposite side of the street, was blown over, crushing two or three shanties, fortunately with out any other injury than driving the occupants out into the storm. One ot the editors of the Tribune, who hap pened to be in the vicinity, and took refuge in the building during the storm, says : We bad scarcely passed the northern entrance and reached the gallery by the nearest flight of steps, when the torrent (it was not rain, but an avalanche of water) struck the building; the grutters were filled on the windward side in a moment, and poured over in an almost unbroken sheet of water, which was driven through the V enetian bund ventilators, into and half wav across the north west gallery, and also through the upper ventilators, lalling upon the main floor of the north transept. U orkmcn hastened to close the blinds, but that did not prevent the deluge. The tinning of the dome being unfin ished the water came down in showers all over the centre. For a time the water was nearly two inches deep on the gallery floor, and poured down the stairs in miniature cascades. A great number of boxes, bales, and packa ges of goods lav upon the main floor, among which the water poured down from the edge of the gal- lery noor, in uescructive quantities, r ortunate ly but few goods were opened, and upon the ta bles, or the damage would have been irrepara ble. As it is, we fear some of the goods are in jured. During the storm, a most disastrous accident occurred opposite the Crystal Palace, by which three persons Inst their lives and seven others were, severely injured, some of whom it is expected will not recover, lhe scene ot the accident was in j Forty-third St., at a newly erected frame build- " . T ... t - 1 1 ing opposite ljasting s uoservatory, wnicn De longs to Dr. S. Pi Towusend, and was not entire- ly compietea. inuring tne storm mis Dunaing, which was two stories high, and roofed in, was overturned instantaneously by the hurricane and levelled in a moment to the ground. At the time that the accidentoccurred there were six men employed on the ground floor in plastering the Walls; three of thenmas plasterers, one of whom was the boss, named William McCracken, and who was killed, with two others.named Matthew McGrann and James McAulay. Among the injured are John Craig and Jas. Smith, dange rously. Another hotiso in Forty-third street was blown down, and Charles Flynn, who was passing by at the time, was struck to the ground and killed. Several buildings were also struck by lightning, and considerably injured. Conrad Deitz, a butcher, was struck by lightning on Fifty-first streetj and killed. In Williamsburg the storm was terrific, and the damage there is estimated at $40,000 or $50, 000. The steeple of Rev. Dr. McLane's Pres byterian Church, corner of South Fourth and Sixth streets, was blown off, carrying with it a Jarge portion of the roof. A portion of the stee ple fell on the dwelling-house. No. 3 Lafayette place, owned and occupied by a Mr. Johnston, which was greatly injured. Damage to the church and house, about $6,000. agThe steeple of the Rev. Mr. Porter's Dutch Reformed Church, in Fourth St., Williamsburg, was torn off. and fell across the roofs of houses Nos. 120, 118 and 116 Fourth street, occupied respectively by the Rev. Dr. McLane, Dr. Ward and Mr. Stearnes. ine neii oi tne courcn, which weighs about one hundred and seventeen pounds, fell on the root ot tne lecture room ot the church, which is in a separate' building, immediately adjoining the church ; the immense weight penetrated: the roof, and rested on the beams inside.
