THE SEASON

Another white Frost visited us yesterda,
"Wednesday morning. The wind has now
veered round South; we have therefore more
genial weather, and indulge the sincere hope
that the "hoary old gentleman" has taken leave
of US, for a season. Augusta Chronicle.
Frost.-A severe frost occurred in this section
on Saturday and Sunday nights, which, from al
accounts, has been greatly injurious to the
young crops. The cotton, Of which fortunately
there is little above ground, has been cut down
the corn also, is seriously injured, and espe
cially the forward crops, which have ointed.-
The more sensitive comprising the varieties Of
garden negotiations, fruits, &C., is in most local
tiles, completely destroyed This will be Sc.
verely felt, though thele is sufficient time in
most cases to replant.-[ Montgomery Journal,
4th inst.
Jack Frost. This old acquaintance paid us
a very unreasonable visit on Sunday night last.
1t is impossible to ascertain the extent to which
the Wheat crop is damaged but we fear that it
has sustained serious injury. All agree in sta.
ting that the fruit is entirely cut off, Rome

WInt,y Weathr.-Sunday morning, March

ice covered standing water in exposed situations.

| FROSTY WeatBer-A week ago we had
heavY frost, which killed all tender garden veg
etables, and Irish potatoes that were unprotec
/ ted. Yesterday morning we had another heavy
one, with ice in many places, and we are fearful
| they may be continued for day or two, as the
weather is still cold Columbus Enquirer, 4th.
! Cool WeatAer-From all we can learn, the
! cold Sunday and Monday last, done considerable
/ damage to the wheat crops, and gardens. The
fruit is generally killed, and what corn was up,
was cut down. We had ice plenty on Sunday
! morning, and on Monday morning we had
/ large frost and ice in abundance. On the last
mentioned morning we noticed icicles II inches
long at one of the water stations on the railroad
/ from Atlanta to this place. For two days or
more, it seemed that we had been unceremoni-
/ Ously set back in the middle of last December,
! to enjoy over again the "wInteg of our discon-
/ tent Newman Banner.
/ Vagaries Of the Weatber-Whoever thought
| that spring was here, had the usual trick of the
/
/ (April lst;) for the air was perceingly cold, in
this region, and on Sunday morning we had ice
/ three fourths of inch thick. 1t has killed all
the fruit without doubt, for even the hearts of
the rose buds are black. The frosts have been
heavy every night since; though it has mode
rated to-day Dalton Times
Cold Wealber-We learn from our exchanges
that the cold weather has been general. In this
region it has continued for more than a week,
entirely cutting off fruit and forward vegetables.
From what we are able to learn, however the
Wheat crop is not INJURED to any extent Cass

Old Jack Boreas, Esq, from the Ryperbo-
rean regions, has given a passing calls and
breathed upon us his chilly breath. The *ea-
Their was very raw on Sunday and throughout
most of the day on yesterday, and this morning
we have another heavy white FROST Macon

TIE Lgte FroSt-The Albany Patriot says:
7 s.tI nave had aauara frnet- this ruanL, which
! destroyed all the corn and cotton that was up.
Some planters had worked their corn the first
time, and the cotton in many fields was up
An are now busy re planting"
The Townsville Waterman, has the follow
ing:-"We had heavy frost on Sunday night
last which laid tender vegetables low, and we
lear did much damage to oats, as also to corn,
and cotton out of the ground. Irish potatoes,
beans, cucumbers, squashes, &C., that were not
covered, have been killed There was also a
sharp frost or Monday night, but not so severe
as the night previous. Fruit, if not entirely
killed is certainly injured. The ground was
frozen, in some places, TO the depth of half an
inch. There was considerable ice, and we have
heard of sone that was from half to three
quarters Of an inch thick"
Louisiana Crops.-The Thibodaux Minerva
of the 18th, says:
"Ihe crops of oranges, peaches and plums,
TO Judge from the present indications, will be
very abundant in this section Of the State the
coming season. Never have we seen the trees
so thoroughly covered with blossoms Vegeta-
ton as general thing is very forward this
spring-much more so than last year. The
weather is indeed that of spring Health SUI
perlatively good"
The Wedtber.-We had Yesterday Il refresh
ing rain, accompanied with thunder and light
ming. We understand that the steeple of the
Episcopal Church Of Atonement, in the upper
part of the city, on Tefair street, was struck, |
and received some damage Augusta Consti-
