The highly respectable committee from Charles
ton, accompanied by the committee and Sergeant at
Arms of the Senate, left Washington yesterday Nor
ming in the southern boat, with the remains Of JOHN
c. CALHOUN. They were to be received last evening
on the skirts Of Richmond With every military and
civic honor which the governor of Virginia the city
council and the citizens of the metropolis could draw
around them. We have no doubt that the procex-
sion has been one of the most imposing which Vas
ever exhibited in Richmond and that no mark Of re-
spect has been spared ON the melancholy occasion.
The gloom, too which overcast the heavens in the
early part of the day broke off into bright evening
probably at the time when the eortegs entered the
city: Last night the remains Of Mr.. Calhoun repo-
Charleston on Thursday where they to be recei-
we'd with all possible honors They will be deposited
one of the church vaults of that city until the Lee
gslature should determine what disposition will be
made of them his family having consented to place
them in the care of the State.
We have received in pamphlet form, and shall
publish tomorrow, (regretting that we cannot find
room for it to-day beautiful tribute to the memo
ry of the deceased from the pen of distinguished

frost ON the nights Of the 18th and 18th inst. The
Fayetteville Carolinian says they had ice up there
onesxteenth of an inch thick on the morning Of the
18th and the Tarboro Press says there was also a
frost there upon the same morning. It would seem
that the fruit must suffer, though not as much, per
haps as by the frost which occurred about the same
= time last year
