A correspondent writes to the Savannah
Republican, 'announcing a most des
tructive hailstorm that passed through
several of the rice plantations on the
Savannah river on the 6th inst., sweep
ing nearly everything before it. He
says:
There can be no correct estimate of
the loss, but it is supposed not less than
one-half of all the rice the hail passed
through is destroyed, and some fields
won't make more than a third of a

exoiteneant, people cooled 4oaigg and
upon examination they wereeasfiiished
at the fact tja t the Seceders had them
selves put' utha Squatter as their chn
didate, ,dnd, reflecting more and more
upon.it, they have come to the conclu
sion that they were actuated not by any
desire to do the South a real service,
but simply to wreak their vengeance on
a man, to continue the "wickedly
foolish" war commenced by Buchnan
two years ago, and also by a desire, on
the part of some at least of the secedars,
to secure the election of Lincoln (whom
Buchanan had previously aided in his
contest with Judge Douglas,) and thus
precipitate a dissolutksn of the Union.
Consequently the Democratic peosple
are tfast abandoning the decedars' ticket,
the residuary ligatee of all the corrup
tion and abominations of the present
outrageous Adminiastration-theo supple
totl of the camp-followers and p lun
derers.
In this (Richmond) county, it is said
by those who ought to be posted, that
there are only thirty-twro Breckinridge
men, out qf a voting population of near
two thousand. Gentlemen from Col
uambia imform us that there are seven,
out of 800, in that county. From Lin
coln we hear of none. In Wilkes
there are a goodly number, but they are
very ankious to compromise. Tho
Franklin Democracy, we learn, are al
most unanimous for Douglas and John
son; and the same news ctsnes also
from Hall mand Hlabersham. The sece
ders bid fair in Georgia, according to
present appearances, to die out before
the first frost.
The Unkindeat Cut.-The Charles
ton Mercury, one of the most ultra
journals in the whole South, refuses to
support the Seceders in the action they
have taken. It denounces their ticket
as too sectional for even its support.
