Terrific Hail Storm. On Friday last,
Mpy28th, Wheeling, Va., and vicinity, was
visited Ly a most terrific rain and hail storm
which lasted about half an hour. The
wind was from the north by west. Hail
stones as large as walnuts, and gome nearly
as large as a man's fist, fell like snowflakes
for some minutes. The damage done was
immense. Nearly all the window glass facing
the sto rni, wereshivered to atoms the
shade trees torn up by their roots and awn
ings end fences blown down. Many of the
treets resembled canals filled with wa
ter and hail from sidj to side
the drift hsil lyin? two feet deep at
the lower end of Main street. The iron
roof ot the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
depot was blown off entirely, and the rol
ling mills, the McLuie House, the Grant
House, the Catholic Church,and many oth
er buildings suffered severely. The destruc
tion to vineyards in the vicinity was im
mense, and were injured to such an extent
thr.t they cannot be very productive for
several years. Up the Wheeling Creek
alley the destruction was enormous. Many
eheep and lambs were killed in the fields,
and the wheat aud corn cut close to the
ground. A number of accidents to indi
viduals are also reported, some of which are
likely to prove serious. The town of West
Liberty, twelve miles from Wheeling, is re
ported to be nearly ruined, and that hail
stones to the depth of two feet remained ly
ing in the streets on the day following the
storm. At Martin's Ferry the hail fell to a
depth of six inches, destroying vegetables,
fruit, grapes, grain, and gla-s in the win
dows. The loss sustained cannot be estima
ted. This was the most terrific storm that
ever visited Wheeliug and vieinity, and will
long be remembered by those who witness
ed its power and destructive effects.
Cuba. The uncertainty that has been
lelt concerning Cuban affairs is get at rest by
news that the attempt of the Spaniards to
re open the railway from Xaevitas to Puer
to Priiicipe, with 3,5 troops, was defeated
by an eo.ual number of Cubans, led by Gen.
QuCsada. Th latter were saved, as before
reported, by the arrival of the Marquis of
Santa Luc, with 4,000 reinforcements. A
great majority of the Spanish colored troops
went over to the patriots, aud the latter
captured all of the Spanish iin pediments,
and advanced and burned the Spani.-h bar
racks. The result is highly encouraging to
the Cubans, and seems to be credible. The
curreut condition of affairs seems to be mis
cellaneous fighting. Not less than half a
dozen tights, big and little, at as many pla
ces, are reported weekly, an J the struggle is
ferocious on toih sides. Additional fili
busters have landed and beeu inaugurated
with a fight on the instant. The appear
ance of affairs indicates that, wl ilc an ar
my is sustained on both sides, bands of ma
rauders perform most of the work. In this
style of tactics the natives have the advant
age, but it must result in despoiling the
whole Island.
Wm. It. Drase, Esq. On Monday last,
we received a visit from Wm. L. Drane,
Esq., of the Philadelphia Ledger, who
stands at the head of the Printers' Profes
sion in Pennsylvania. Mr. Drane started
the '"Philadelphia Transcript," which was
consolidated with the '"Ledger" about thir
ty years ago, and he has ever since been
connected with the paper. He has seen it
grow from a small and feeble thiug, to the
mighty giant it is at present, with its
circulation of sevet'ty five thousand daily,
issued from the magnificent palace at. the
corner of Sixth ani Chitniit Sts. ,the most
splendid and best appointed printing estab
lishment in the world. Mr. Drane is a gen
tleman whose character, ability, and success,
does honor to the '"Art preservative of all
arts."
The Presbyterians. -The General As
semblies of both "schools" of the Presby
terian church are now sitting in New York.
Though still apart, the sentiment on both
; sides in favor of re union is growing, and
- the feeling of each toward the other appears
to be very kindly. Dr. Jacobus, of Alle
gheny Seminary, is Modcrater of the Old
School body, and Dr. Fowler, of Utica, pre
sides over the New School adherents. Both
are regarPed as liberal in their views upon
the question of union. Several new presby
teries in the South, for the first time since
the war, are represented in tioth bodies.
The Indian Commission. The Philan
thropic Indian Peace Commission was in
terviewed by the President last week, and
laid before him their fully digested plans
for securing the peace and happiness of the
red men,buying them into civilization. The
President fully concurred in the views'of the
Commission ar.d acquiesced in the plan pre
sented. Unless the Indians are more vi
cious and untameable than most people be
lieve them to be, the new Commission has
struck the proper method of pitting an end
to the frontier troubles. ,
Minister Hauvey. It is staled that
the account of Mr. Harvey, late minister to
Portugal, has been finally settle i and the
sum of 123,000 in gold paid to his order in
full for his salary. It will be borue in B.uid
that on account of c rtaiu siitcnients im
peaching Mr. Harvey s loyalty, Congress
would not vote an appropriation for his
pay. If the above is correct, he must have
sucyitdttd in disproving the charges, as the
amount reported :o have been paid him
covers nearly three year's pay.
The Revenue. t
There has been much grumbling over Gen.
Grant's appointments, says the 7Vt'ie,and
some of them may bive provoked it ; but
the fact is not disputed that the current rev
enue since they were made shoics a large in
ert ase over the corresponding tceeks of last
year. Now the taxes have not been in
creased; our political adversaries say that
the country is not prosperous ; and it will
puzzle any one to account for the increased
receipts into the Treasury on any other hy
pothesis than that of increased efficiency in
the collection. We believe the income of
the Government since Gen. Grant's inaugu
ration has exceeded that of the correspond
ing period of last year by fully five millions
of dollars; and that our National Debt has
been reduced, over and above any reduction
expected in the Spring months of 1868, by
fully Ten Millions. We submit these facts
as a full justification of the changes made
by Gen. Grant.
It is very generally understood that the
whole revenue is henceforth to be collected,
and not only collected, but paid into the
Treasury, where it is to be rued in carrying
oti the Government and reducing the Na
tional Debt. Taxation will not be so oner
ous if the people can see that it is gradually
wiping out their debt.
We entreat the President to "let thegall
" ed jades wince," and go on in the path he
has thus far so nobly trod. Let revenue de
frauders, official or otherwise, understand
that they are to be dealt with promptly and
sternly. If any outsiders are still defraud
ing the revenue, bring them to justice and
keep them there; if any office-holders are
s betting their uefarious schemes, turn them
out at once and prosecute them directly.
Gen. Grant has spoken no braver word than
when he gave assurance that he would re
move his own appointees as readily as those
of his predecessor if he found them incom
petent or unfaithful The country rejoices
in that pledge and expects him to make it
good. Let the revenue be collected not a
part only, but the whole of it though to
this end it should be necessary " to remove
and appoint monthly to some places. This
Administration has made a noble start, and
we trust it will keep it. The groans of the
removed and the disappointed avail nothing
as long as the work is well done.
The National Banks.
The telegraph briefly noticed the decis
ion of Attorney General Hoar on the ques
tion raised as to whether a National Bank,
under the enabling act passed by the New
York Legislature, could return to the State
system. It appears that a number of Na
tional Banks in the city and State of New
York, in order to avoid the restrictions and
limitations imposed by the act of Congress,
contemplate a return to the State system,
under what they call tho enabling act, pass
ted by the Legislature of that State for that
purpose : and the President and Directors
of the National Mechanics' and Farmers'
Bank of Albany, an institution organized
under the act of Congress to provide a na
tional currency, secured by a pledge of Uni
ted States bonds, and to provide for tho
circulation and redemption thereof, passed
June?, 1864, claim to have oonverted their
bank into a State Banking Association, un
der the provisions of an act passed by the
Legislature of the State of New York,
April 20. 1367, entitled An act enabling
National Banking Associations, etc., and
that by virtue of such conversion they are
absolved from all allegiance and responsi
bility as a National Bank to the require
ments of the act of Congress.
The Attorney General decides that it is
not withiu the power of a State Legislature
todimiuish the duties imposed upon a bank
ing association established under an act of
Congress. He holds that the powers of the
National corporation depend wholly upon
the action of the National Legislature. No
batik can dissolve until the necessary action
has been bad for the redemption of its cir
culating notes either by actually redeeming
them and surrendering them to theControl
er of the Currency, or by depositing an
amount of Treasury notes with him ade
quate to their redemption, as provided by
that act; and until these acts are completed
the existence of the National Banking As
sociation continues under the law.
Free Trade, or Protection. The
New York World thinks the revival of the
free trade agitation is favorable to the suc
cess of the Democratic party. If free trade
in opposition to the protection of home in
dustry is popular with the people, the Dem
ocrats deserve success, for they have been
its only advocates. We are not certain of
the direction in which the current of opin
ion runs in New York and some ot the
Westetn States, but as far as Pennsylva
nia ia concerned, the World could not pos
sibly have taken more unpopular ground.
Any day the Democracy of this State choose
to put the issueof an election upon that
ground, they may write themselves down a
whipped party before the polls open. The
Worll and its co-worker in this State, the
Central Democratic organ, we think, either
ignorantly mistakes, or wilfully and grossly
misrepresent public sentiment on the ques
tion, "Free Trade, or Protection?"
A Canard. A story was put afloat re
cently to the effect that Gen. Grant enter
tained semi freetrade views, which is now
pronounced a canard. Gen. Grant believes
in an American policy, and there is not a
free trader in his Cabinet. Secretary Bout
well is quite the opposite of a tree-trader,
and Secretary Fish does not hesitate to de
clare that the check to our present extrava
gant importations by high tariff, is the only
means by which the country can be saved
from a financial crash that will surely follow
if the balanee of trade is kept running
ugaiust us.
Imports. There is a large increase of
foreign importations. Shrewd journals are
forecasting trouble on this account. In the
first four months of this year, the imports
at New York city of foreign goods, eta,
were $119,517,750, against only $35,018,
720, for the corresponding period of 1863,
and $93,756,135 for the same time in 1867,
notwithstanding the numerous complaints
made respecting the dullness of trade.
A Sew Revelation.
Doubtless many of the official acts of the
Government during the rebellion have been
kept hidden from the public, and perhaps
very properly ; but if the following alleged
act of the State Department, now for the
first time, we believe, brought to light,
should prove to be correct, there will cer
tainly be manifested very general surprise.if
not indignation, that Secretary Seward
should have eched and given official sanc
tion to what was unquestionably . and we
supposed only the rebellious sentiment of
the country. A Mr. F. W. Newman, a
prominent Englishman, and a warm friend
of America, as well as a life-long hater of
slavery, laments the tone of Mr. Sumner's
speech, and in a very telling letter imparts
to our people the following piece of news.
It is worth considering :
"But there is a matter of fact which Mr.
Sumner neglects a fact which, I suppose,
few know. I only learned it last year from
the report of the Paris Aoti-Slavery Con
ference report of 1 867. In it is printed an
elaborate memoir of the Hon. John Jay on
emancipation in the United States, which is
an historical review. It states (p. 102)that
in April, 1861, the Secretary ot State (Mr.
Seward) advised the American Ministers in
Europe and European Cabinets hastened
to accept the assurance that the Presi
dent so tar from rejecting, willingly accept
ed the doctrine "th t the Federal Govern
ment could not reduce the seceding States
to obedience by conquest," which was
promptly responded to by proclamations en
dowing the Slave Power with billigerent
rights at sea, &c That our Government
acted very wrongly, I believe, as deeply,
perhaps, as Mr. Sumner. We mast suffer
for the misdeeds of our Government. But
so must the Americans suffer for the mis
deeds of their Government. Friends of free
dom and right in our Cabinet were para
lyzed by Mr. Seward's dispatch. If lie
told them that the President willingly ad
mitted that he had no right to coqrjuer the
South, how could they deny that when he
tried to do it the South had a right to
resist him."
Mr Seward will be compelled to break si
lence and "speak out in meeting."
The State Funds, Gov. Geary has
called the attention of the Legislature again
and again in his annual messages, to the
loose way of keeping the public money be
longing to the State. The State Treasurer
is required to give bail in the sum of hun
dred thousand dollars only, while the "un
expended balance" in his hands generally
amounts to two or three millions. It is
charged that the Treasurer loans out large
sums on his own private account, which of
course yields him an enormous revenue over
and above his salary. The United States
depositories are forbidden under heavy pen
alties, to touch a dollar, or to exercise any
discretion as to the moneys in their keeping,
and this should be the rule in regard to the
State moneys. We shall hear of an enor
mous defalcation of the State funds, some
day, if the present practice is much longer
continued.
Hale's Defence. It is but simple jus
tice to Hon. John P. Hale, who was charged
by the Secretary of Legation, Mr. Perry,
with smuggling goods into Spain for a eoui
meicial house, under his privilege as minis
ter, to say that Mr. Hale denies the charge
as applicable to himself. He does not deny
the alleged smuggling, but charges it upon
Perry, whom he says preprred the orders in
the Spanish language, and he innocently af
fixed his signature, as a matter of official
business, without knowing what he signed.
The plea is a poor on 2 no public officer
should affix his signature and seal to what
he does not understand but it is all Mr.
Hale offers in his defense, and we give him
the benefit of it.
The "Quaker Citt" Case. The Brit
ish Government demanded the release of
the Quaker City, a steamship which our
authorities seized and libelled upon suspi
cion that she was to be employed in the vio
lation of our neutrality toward Spain. The
demand was placed on the ground that the
vessel is British property. Secretary Fish,
on being made fully satisfied that the steam
er was not destined for Cuba, granted her
clearance from the port of New York, where
upon the Spanish Consul, not satisfied with
her pacifio intentions, had her libeled and
seized, 60 that the matter will go to the
Courts.
Minister Motley's instructions are said
to contemplate a course of masterly inactiv
ity in his negotiations with the British Gov
ernment, in relation to the Alabama ques
tion. He is not to offer any new terms nor
propose any action whatever. The assump
tion is that this course, while avoiding a rup
ture, will quietly press England to offer such
indemnities and guarantees as are appropri
ate. There has been a rare fight among the
temperance people of Massachusetts, be
cause the president of the Alliance believed
that a man might drink cider or beer with
out being a drunkard. So there was a split,
and Mr. Spooner, the president, left them.
These pugnacious reformers should know
that there may be intemperance in other
things than drinking.
Time makes all things even. Gen. Phil.
Sheridan and John C. Breckinridge occu

warriors of different causes forgot the storm

Democratic journals are astonished be
cause the Administration utterly refuses to
tumble to pieces before the attacks of crit
icism. Tho fact is, just criticism is of val
ue to the Administration, and unjust criti
cism is injurious only to the critics.
Our Fallen Heroes. The ceremony of
decorating the graves of our fallen heroes,
on Saturday, the 29th, was pretty generally
observed throughout the land. In many
instances the ceremonies were of a very im
posing and affecting character.

Breakers Ahead.
Many of the best informed business men,
financiers and editors are begining to ap
prehend a general smash-up within a couple
of years, in consequence of the large excess
of our importations orer the exportations.
There must be a change in this respect be
fore long, they say, or a general business
crash. The danger is Lot probably as great
or as close as some of them apprehend ; bat
that there is danger is apparent and unde
niable. The probability is says the Cin
cinnati Times that $1,000,000,000 of gold
will be suddenly demanded of this country
within two yearn. At the rate of our trad
ing and runing into debt to foreigners, we
shall "bring up" all to smashby the spring
of 1872. Out immense crops, now promis
ed, will save us for one year ; but, to save us,
the farmers mast expect low prices, since
they cannot be exported at.high prices, and
on their exportation all depends.
Oar foreign trade last week gave double
the importations of the corresponding week
of 1868, and our exports were far less. Our
import were last week $7,074,000 in gold
against our exportation of $2,700,000 in
gold I
And yet shallow people are alarmed at
the rise in gold, and denounce the policy of
Secretary Boutwell, which is the only
straw by which we can fight down the ex
cess of importation.
A crash cannot be prevented unless we
can turn the foreign tide. When the crash
comes, bonds will go down immensely un
der the demand from Europe for gold on
them. Under "hard times'' no European
will believe our bonds cafe against repudia
tion. Their Length ai Cost. In the world,
at the close of the year 1868, there were
one hundred and nine thousand one hun
dred and seventy-seven miles of railway
track which cost in the aggregate $10,829,
751,982. They traverse an area of nineteen
million four hundred and forty-one thousand
and thirteen square miles, populated by five
hundred and eighty-four millions four hun
dred and sixty-three thousand nine hun
dred and trirty-seven souls. The average
of inhabitants to each mile of railway is 5,
353 36. In North America there are but
one thousand one hundred inhabitants to
each mile of railroad, which is the smallest
ratio in the world. Asia presents forty-niue
thousand four hundred, Europe five thou
sand and sixteen, South America fourteen
thousand seven hundred and seventy-five,
and Africa ten thousand six hundred and
thirty-nine inhabitants to every mile of
track.
