The weather. the Crops. etc.

Co1G WeatAsr.- On last Saturday night we
were visited by killing frost it was cold that
a thin crust OF ice was formed. Since then, there
have been several severe frosts. The venerable
old gentleman with his hoary head is among us
much earlier than the last few years. Our Cotton
fields are now black, and all the young bolls COM
pletely demolished. The frost will have consider
able effect in shortening the crop where it has been
seasonabe. So far as this county is concerned, it
has done but little injury. Auburn (Ala) Herald,
November /.
FroSt.-There was killing frost at Montgomery
on Friday and Saturday nights last, the 25th and
Goth ultimo. The weather throughout the day on
Saturday and Sunday was very cold
Killing FrOstS.-The Macon Journal and Mes
senger says: There have been some killing forsts
since our last issue. The Cotton plant has been
very generally seriously injured, that the hollis
yet remaining upon the stalk will not mature. The
crop may now be considered as made, and we have
no doubt that the yield will be less than last
year. Many planters inform us there is but little
Cotton left in the fields the excessive drought
having prevented the fruit from maturing for many
weeks past The crop cannot exceed 100000
bales"
Fr0St.-We had heavy frost this morning, with
the thermometer at 800 at sunrise. This puts an
end to the growth of the Cotton crop, wherever the
frost has extended with equal severity. Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel.

The Nicaragua CaRat.-It is announced in the
English papers, that Messrs White and Wander

pany for constructing the Nicaragua canal, arrived

Curious SUITS for SlanderiRg the Fugitive
Crqfts.-There was another big breeze in Court
square on Saturday afternoon, caused by the ar
rest Of Ionh Knights, the witness to the identity of
Crafts, upon writ of SANDER, the declaration set
ting forth that Knights had stated that Crafts had
been guilty of the crime of larceny. The writ was
made out by John c. Park, and served by deputy
sheriff Rugg, who received bail in $4,000 from
two sufficient sureties, who promptly came forward
to release Knights from arrest. 1t was stated early
on Saturday that writs were ont against the agents
Hughes and Knights, and that the object in having
them arrested was TO get them where they could
be "spotted " by some of the persons engaged in
the measures for the protection of Crafts from sci
zure; but Knights was passed out by rear
passage after having given bail in Mr.. Rugg's
office, the watchers did not get sight Of him.
In the writ against Hughes there was some mis-
take in the name, and Mr.. Rugg would not take
the responsibility of serving it but it was after
| wards amended, and in the course of the evening,
Hughes called at the Office, and quietly gave bail
| in the same manner that Knights had done.
We were informed on Saturday that the formal
application for warrants against Crafts and his
wife was not made to any judge or commissioner,
but to the u S. Circuit Court then in session. The
complaint was sworn to in open Court before the
clerk and the warrants were issued in the ordina-
| ry manner. The Court entertained this applica-
ton for legal process just they entertain all
and every complaint brought legally to their notice.

Tha National Intelligencer expresses great graft
catiou at learning that the President has promptly
visIded 10 the request Of the Central Committee,
a, the honorable concurrence therein Of the Secre-
tary Of the Navy to furnish national ship for the
qraiuitous transportation TO England of those speci
mems of the useful arts and other products of Amer
lean ingenuity which our inventors and artisans
may desire 10 send for exhibition at the Worlds
Industrial Fair, TO bs held in London next year
This will be novel mission for ship of war, but
one entirely in harmony with the character OF
country protesting to value peace and its civizng
pursuits above all the glores and trophies of often
sive or ambitious war. 1t would, we think, impart
a higher grandeur to this pacific errand of war
vessel, if the Government were to select for the
purpose the magnificent ship of the line, the Penn
sylvania, the largest, perhaps, that floats on the
waters of the world. She herself might be pre-
scented proudly to the eyes of Europe, as noble
specimen of national production, worthy to repre-
sent, at the Worlds Convention, the power and
progress of our Republic. That vast and noble
ship, ascending the Thames, freighted with the
treasures of her nations genius and SKILL with the
stars and stripes floating at her main, would be a
sight that would make the heart OF the most con-
tracted secessionist swell with pride of country.
| In the note of Secretary Graham to the President
in regard to the use of national vessel for the pur
poses designated, he says;
Participating in what l conceive to be the gen
era desire of the people of this country that there
NAV be a creditable display of the products o
| American genius, skill, and labor on the occasion
in question: and anxious that citizen shall fail il

The compliment contained in the notice is fully

been called:
