SUGAR CRoP. The sugar crop has been
seriously injured throughout the State by
the recent frosts On many of The Atta<
kapas plantations, says the Gazett, it has
been thought advisable TO cut down the
whole OF the cane, in order topreserve il
from further injury. The consequence
now will be, an immense falling off in the
yield anticipated at the commencement Of
the grinding season. The sugar made,
however. is OF an excellent quality.
