important TO its usefulness, and is a leading
feature Of our free and rcpu 5iican Govern

important as a precedent, although it seem.

WEATHER. CROPS. &c. &c

a short Jaunt in the country the past
week, enabled Us to see some of the effects
OF the late cold and unreasonable weather,
that has scarcely a precedent, eren in our
variable and uncertain climate. The fruit
crop, we believc,is totally demolished, which
is no small grievance and loss to many see
lions Of our country aud in view of the
destruction of so important an item, enter.
ing largely as it does into the domestic ar
engagements of many families, it would DC
well TO provide for this deficiency, bv in
creaslng, in proportion, the extent Of the
grain and provision crop. Corn is a%carcely
visible, though we understand it has been
up and looking vel in some sections below.
A good portion that is cut down is undoubt-
eddy beyond recovery, the continued cold
weather after the frost, preventing it from
cunning out again rs is usual on ordinary oc.
casions of frost. Farmers are generally
about through with planting both corn and
cotton whether the last is TO succeed under
the circumstances, is n matter Of rather Sc
rious conjecture. On Friday morning of
last week, ice was seen plentifully and TO n
considerable thickness. A change in the
weather occurred about Saturday or Sunday,
but was attended with such a heavy delure
OF rain, ms to make it questionable whether
it was a change for the better. Such a
state OF things is of course discouraging
to the farmer, but, rs the almanac makers
say, they shouldn't despair-warm weather
and sunshine will come after n while.
This unusual weather for the season, has
extended everywhere that we have heard
from, and reports of snow, sleet and ice,
have reached us from various localities
south Of us, since the beginning of April
A correspondent, writing from Mount Meigs,
Ala, under date of April OH says:
ave had n heavy frost on Tuesday NOR
ming the 18th inst, which completely cut
down our corn; on the day before, we had
snow, which has never been known in this
County before during the month Of April.
Farmers here are generally done planting
cotton"
In passing, we called upon our friends at
Pleasant Hill. who were busily arranging n
large and admirable stock of goods. For
merry it was the custom to take only the
most common goods into the country, but
things are changed now, and at Pleasant
Hill, may be seen fashionable and elegant
styles, MOTTO be excelled any where. Prices
are reasonable too, if we are to Judge from
a lot OF heavy domestic cotton goods that
they are selling at ten cents! actually less
than the raw material froLI which i, is made
can be bought for. The people of tina.
locality are well provided with facilities for
procuring their supplies, az in addition to
this establishment, is tina. Of J. Is. Mobley's
below, which we understand Is doing a good
business, and which We know has hereto
fore, offered many inducements for trade.
