southron Of Wednesday last says:
To-day one year ago the Southern country was
visited by killing frost. The spell OF weather
which resulted in this calamity to the planting inter
ests began just the present has, and fear the
cold rains and North winds which have visited for
several days will terminate In the destruction Of the
growing crops of corn, cotton vegetables and fruits,
which are now far advanced for the season. This
calamity, If it shoud beial u.s. taken in connection
with the food which still mandates such vast extent
of country foreshadows gloomy prospects 10 the fn-
ture. The river lands affected by the overflow, even
II the water should leave them now will be greatly
beated in getting in, and should the hill crops, upon
which local consumers now depend, be bliehted by
frost, a short crop must be the consequence.
