The cordial and friendly exchange of courtesies be tween the companies was the theme of general remark and approval." RAIN. We bad a light shower on the morning of the -ath of .July; since then we have had very plenti ful showers. ROBBERS. The town is infested with robbers several dar ing acts in this way having been lately committed. Oar Police are on the alert, and we think it would be well for our citizens generally to provide arms for the occasion. Onr folks will give them a buck or two, should they favor us with a call. GERMAN CELEBRATION. We have not heretofore noticed the German National Jubilee, which was concluded at Phila delphia on the 27th of last month. It was resol ved to hold the next celebration at Baltimore. The pic-nic held at Lemon ilill on this occasion, was one of the largest assemblages ever witnessed in the United States, and far eclipsed all similar festivals at any of the previous national music.il jobiless, held by this worthy class of our adopted citizens. It is estimated that there were at least 10,000 souls ou the hill at one time, and that not less than 20,000 persons visited the place during the day. The scene was enlivened by Music, both vocal and instrumental, speeches, &c, and all the amusements peculiar to the German people, were participated in by both old and young. RAIL ROAD DISASTERS. On our last page will be found an excellent article from a Correspondent, on the subject of Rail Road Disasters and their causes. The writer "hits the nail upon the head." The public are to blame for the dreadful results which occur from fast travelling because rapid speed is demanded by the people everywhere. Next to the public at large, in fault, are Edit ors of newspapers, who are. always praising the speed of a winning boat, or a rapid moving Car. As to putting an Editor in the peril indicated, we cannot say we much admire the notion, for we think there is hope of amendment in this quar ter. Bnt the position pointed out for Editors should be filled by Representatives of the Travell ing Public, duly elected for that purpose, whose duty it shall be to see that the body lie represents are gratified in the anihilation of time and space, as nearly as possible. Aa regards ourself, wc s.lift the responsibility on others. We have never encouraged steamboat racing, or any other of the murderous operations of the day. It is not long since that we declared our belief that the proper person to be hung for these crimes is a "generous public," But such a neck ! What can grasp it 1 FOREIGN NEWS. Liverpool dates to Juno 18. have been received 1 since onr last issue, but there is nothing reliable j on any important subject.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION. On Wednesday week, the propeller Challenge, about twenty miles below Mackinac, exploded her boiler with disastrous effects. Five persons were killed, and three severely and one slightly injured all of them, except ne, being hands on the boat. The stern of the boat waw blown off, and she sunk in about five minute. .The passen gers and crew escaped in two boats, and were picked up shortly afterwards by he schooner North Star, which was about ten nsQes distant at the time of the explosion, and, hearing the report, hastened to the rescue. K THE NEW ORLEANS AFFAIR. The late negro effervescence faj New Orleans, though ridiculous enough in Itself1, the Picayune ays, has established the fact thatihite men have been tampering with the negroes and shows the necessity of a rigorous'enforoement of the laws in regard to inciting the slaves to insurrection, which are very severe, the penally for this offence being imprisonment for life or death at the discretion of the judge. jf It has been statetf bythc New Orleans nress that the whole ofVtne reported disturbance grew out of the wild imaginings of a Negro, under the influence oCdeUriuv tremens. Very strauge. Did the tampering of white men with the negroes arise from the same cause 1 It would be well to let the public know the whole of the facts as they stand not say that there is " nothing of it," and then turn bout and report that crimes have been committed worthy of death or imprisonment for life. 4MIICALISM DEFEATED. vTa T progressive" reform proposed by a Con TeoUoa itt Rhode Island is defeated The major ity agalnatthe Convention, as far as known, is up wards of fifteen hundred votes, which will be in creased by the few towns remaining to be beard ftom. ; Every county in the State has given a ma jority against the proposed " reform."

The gardens were completely ruined, and the fruit trees not only divested of all the young fruit, tut stripped bare of tbeir leaves. The cat tle ran bellowing about the fields, seeking shelter in every direction, and the horses attached to car riages along the road became frightened and un manageable by the pelting of the hail, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the drivers were enabled to keep them from clashing the vehicles to pieces." The storm was also severe in Washington, Georgetown, and the country west along the Poto mac river. VERMONT CONVENTION. in : fi i : I.. .1.1 nt A.... U. illU ii'g OIUIK VUUVl'IHIUU YW13 nem Ul Itl- mon on Wednesday week. The Hon. Erastus Fairbanks was nominated for Governor; Hon WmltXKiUredge for Lt.Gov ; and Hon. George Howe pr Treasurer.

Tbdrecommcndalion to encourage the actual settlement of the lands is a good one. By this process tjhe national wealth is increased and indi vidual "ioyperity and comfort secured.

In my last letter I mentioned that there were a number of North CarolSaians here trading off their mineral possessions to tSe Capitalists of New York Some of these have lefl and others have appeared in turn. This is a neW feature in the history of the North State, and worth while to consider some of the probable, effects of the new order of things about to be develSfipd i n that quiet corner of the world. In the lastMJnited States Census, North Carolina is pot dowjjas wealthier than Lou isiana, and a great deal rueie so than South Caro lina, and this without Reference to her mines and minerals. Heretofore japgarded as one of the poor est of Uncle Sam's dadghtei s, she is about to come out at last as one of the wealthiest and to encoun ter some of those hazards which usually environ a great heiress. In; the progressive developenients of the limes she habeen overlooked and contemn- j ed, and left to the solitudes of pine barrens and sandy plains. No One couceived that there were treasures of wealtb3i:dden in ber hills and moun tains, which, when brought to light, would give her prominent rank as one of the wealthiest prov inces in the Unions Left so long to herself, and beyond the influences of innovation and the conta gion of competition ber people have become dis tinguished for modest worth, integrity of charac ter, patient industry mora I sobriety, and unaffec ted simplicity of demeanor. These are virtues of a primitive and secluded population, and many of them must disappear under a new system of greater activity, large enterprise and foreign im migration. Wealth and position are not unaccom panied with attendent"vil8 and dangers. Increase of expense, luxury, vke, evtravagance, and cor ruption, come in tneicrain, and are unsatisfacto ry substitutes forth cheao living, the simple ners, and the bosdn confidence, which must all Qe swept away and destroyed by the swelling noodsYif progress and improvement. But Vithout wealth, and without enterprise, neither aState nor an individual enjoys any rank or influence in the world. Tbese must be battled for and wonVnd the highest vT'r'Worrefaeraeaf and civilization most march &i A , contaminations and depravities of a higher, kind of life.---In a great State, increased ta'xea and ex penses, and multiplied institutions of society past . be expect ed. Additional poor rates', Asylums pen itentisricsr and larger assessments nsnst be provi ded for." Look at the Other prominent States and largo; cities in. this country, The taxes for the city ol New York alone for this year are five mil lions of -dollars, which Is" just sixty-two and. a quarter as much as the annual imposts for the en tire State of North Carolina. So much for State pride and civic splendor, for a stronger police, & higher government, and a more ambitious style of life. There is. however, one admirable result which will be likely to follow the-new condition of things which must soon take place in North Carolina. Employment will be given for her citi zens at home. They will cease to emigrate, and to enrich other places by their talents and virtues; and ampler means will enable them to travel abroad more, and bring back with them a more varied and extensive experience Of life derived from the observations of foreign lands and other conditions of society abroad. The writer of this, who has mingled extensively with the world, while in Europe a few years siuce saw only two North Carolinians there, although other sections of the country were amply represented. Of these two, oue was a midshipman in the navy, and the other a gentleman traveling for the benefit of a sick wife. Let not these rernaiks be considered premature or onL of ilace. Where the Droercs of the age I ' - w - . - opens out a new path of enterprise, old Tmpres sions and Saturninn virtues are effaced with sur-tn-iiiiT rnniditv. The current sweeps on and bears every tiling down before it. The first of this month opened with an unusual number of disasters hei e by storm, steam, niud, tireand hail. The Noith Kiv.-r steamor, the New World, burst a flue just us she was leaving her mooriugx at the dock, killing and scalding seve ral of the employees on boaid. In the afternoon one or two lives were lost by a tire in the liist Avenue, and about the same time a tenifie storm of wind, rain, lightning, and hail set in. The ind "us tornado the lain m tiood, ine nan masses of ice, and the lightning the infernal regions turn ed up side down. Many persons have been uneasy as to the strength of (ho Crystal Palace and the Latting Observatory, but as the elements were most infuriated iu that elevated quarter, it seems as if the commotion had been got up to effect their annihilation or at least to test their strength. But they passed through it bravely. The great lumps of ice, some of them weighing a pouud or more, fell like ruriisy dumpsy upon the metalic dome of the Crystal Palace, and as for the Latting Obser vatory, it must be borne in mind that it is only an ojxin tower built of strong scantling. The ice pel ted, anil the gale whistled through it. leaving ii unharmed, and as firm as the Ediston Light-house. A large number of workmen were on it at the time, and considered themselves fortunate in ma king good their peiilons descent. Nine buildings in the immediate vicinity were prostrated, chiefly designed for profane drinkinS houses. The most of them were owned by D1'. Townsend, the Sarsaiarilla man. who has already made a fortune out of the stomaches of the peo ple by bis Sarsaparilla, which is no better thau his brandy, and be can afford the loss. He had just brought iron girders up there to strengthen the tenements, but the storm laughed at the iron cirders. Unfortunately three persons were killed I and several seriously wounded by the prostration of these airy fabrics. One of the adjacent or separate buildings of the Crystal Palace was demolished. It was in an un finished state, and will not retard the expected i opening of the edifice. As to the palace itself only a few panes of glass in a fan-light at the west end wcio broken. Strangers continue to poHr in, but the hotels and boarding houses are not full. For a short time there will be a rush, but if visiters will exercise patience and take the precaution to look around, and to obtain reliable information, they will find plenty accommodation, and very much economise their fuiid.s. ' Mine good people," said the German Queen of George 11, to the English mob, " bc's come here for your gaods.,: " Yes. said one of crowd," and for our chatties too." Let all strangers bear in mind that they come here like geese for plucking and lambs for shearing. They come full and go away empty. Empty in purse, but a little fuller in experience and worldly lore. I forgot to mention that the hailstorm was very destructive all through the neighborhood. It was unusually violent and unsparing at Williamsburg, where as many church steeples nere knocked down us groggei ies around the palace of glass. A lump of ice about thesi.o of a brickbat struck an unlucky fireman there on the head, very much to his astonishment and injury, for the man was a fiiend to the cold element, but an enemy to the hot one. FLETCHER. DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM. A terrific hail-storm passed over Northumber land (.Pa.) on Friday afternoon, extending some five miles it: width. Nearly every farmer within its range lost almost his entire harvest. Fruits of all kinds suffered much. Several thousand window lights were broken in tho town of Nor thumberland. In some buildings as high as two hundred were destroyed. Hail-stones measuring 71 inches in circumference were picked up on the street. t Later from New Brunswick and the Fishe ries. Boston, July 3d. Advices from St. John s to the 1st instant state that great excitement had hpn occasioned there bv an attempt to enforce the Maine liquor law. The Temperance Hall had been blown up by gunpowder, and utterly ruined. The mackerel fishery at Magdalen Island had proved an utter failure. The British colonial journals characterize the arming of American fishing vessels as piracy. From Truxillo and Bahla Awful Ravages of the Yellow Kever. Boston, July 2d. The brig Helen Jane, from Truxillo June 12th, reports that the country was perfectly quiet. The war bctwen Honduras and Guatemala, such as it was, was at an end. The fatality amongst the English vessels in port at Bahia was terrible, and some of tbem had been left with scarcely a man on board. The fever was also raging on shore, but the authorities suppress ed all information on the subject. NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATURE. Concord, N. H., July 2. The New Hampshire Legislature, finally adjourned this morning. AH the laws to regulate the sale of liquor, and a great part of tho bank bills have been, postponed. A very striBgent enactment concerning railroad ac cidents, and the management of trains on rail roads has been passed. 1 A FEW Iqfants And Misses ihats- and flats, for XX sale by , C. MYERS.
