THR KEArHER ANp rHR uRoPs.

We notice in several Of our exchanges reports Of
theinjury to the growing crops and fruit caused By
the frOsss from The Gath to the 18th April, and
some Of the papers state that very little injury has
resulted
In South and North Carolina the damage has been
considerable.
In lower and middle Georgia the injury has not
been SO great but in upper Georgia there can Re ne
doubt that the cotton aud fruit have been very much
injured, and in some sections the wheat.
In the low grounds the damage has been the
greatest.
Throughout Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee, and Arkansas, the frost en- the high
lands and The floods in the valleys have caused in
ealculsble injury.
For more than month past the fertile valley
lands Of the West have been inundated, and the
waters continue high.
With such prospects at this time, he must be q
sanguine Spectator about large Gotten crops, who
believes that the next crop will exceed three mill
lion bales.

PEABODY CoRN.-A gentleman Of Suffolk, Va,
says he got some of this corn last year from Mr..
PEABODY, and planted two thousand five hundred
hills moderately fair land, FIVE by five, without
any manure whatever, and gathered nine barrels,
which he thinks was half much again as the land
would have produced in other corn-but the weight
is not so heavy that he got from Mr. PEABODY.
Others 1.-TWO or three persons) near him also tried
it. but do not think very well of it. On the land he
planted not more than one-third of the stalks had
suckers, but where there were none the stalks had
from three to seven good ears.

A BEAUTTFuL CUST0M.

The Augusta, Ca, ConsatuhoHalSt, says that it is
custom with the children of the Orphan Asylum Of
that city, the first of May of every year to march
in procession to The grave of Mr. Isaac TUTTLE, and
decorate his tomb with the blooming flowers Of the
season Mr.. FUTILE, by his liberality, contributed
largely to the present prosperity Of the Asylum,
and the recipients Of his bounty gladly pay their
annual homage to his resting place, with flowers
gathered from shrubbery selected, planted and
carefully cultivated by Mr. FUTILE while in life.
1t is indeed says that paper, interesting occa-
sion, and the fountains of feeling must draw their
supplies from aridhearts, when such an exhibition
fails to excite pleasurable emotions, and induce
grateful hearts to kindly remember the debt Of
gratitude due to the memory Of SO noble benefac-
tor Of the poor orphans in our city.

IA Mr.. EEGLIsHs bill which passed Congress q
few days since seems to increase in favor at the
South and grow more distastefu to the fanatics Of
the North A strong Southern Rights man writing
US from Washington says: " 1t is better bill than
the Senate bill, for under it Kansas into the
Union under q slave banner; or remains territory
under slave banner until she has population to en-
title her to a representative"
The New York Tribune takes the same view of it,
and says Mr.. ENGLIsHs bill in no manner or form
submits the LeoOmPtOn Constitution to popular
vote"
FOrney's paper, the Philadelphia Press, says " the
project was intended to prOpitiate those Southern
States which have precipitatey resolved to 60 out
Of the Union if LecOmpton is not put through
" The acceptance of the LecOmptOn Constitution
would have been preferable to this contemplate
devise Of fraud and treachery."
We congratulate the country upon the successful
overthrow Of these Northern fanatics and Southern
renegades-
