THE FROsF OF SATURDAY NIGHT.-The effect Of
the remarkable frost Saturday night is dis4s-
trous, Inealeulsble damage has been done TO veg
etsbles, fruit and grain. The old settlers say that
in 1916 there was terrible frost here in JuHe but
serious as 10 have been especially observed until
now Happily, the frost had blighting effect only
at intervals in the vast region it gave this untimey
visit. Where one field of corn, or one garden, or
orchard or wheat field has beea blasted, others in
the immediate neighborhoOd have not suffered. II
is plain, however, that very serious calamity has
befallen the country. blight has fallen upon tAe
land. In the central portions Of this Stste we are
told that garden vegetables totally destroyed
Every thing in the garden al the Ohio White Sulphur
Springs has been cut down. 0ae Of the proprietors
Of hotel in Columbus yesterday telegraphed
partner here to buy vegetables in this market the
frost had finished the gardens in that vicinity.
Great Injury has been inflicted the grapes in
posed situations. In many places corn knee high
has been annihisted. 1t is net, however, too late
to plant corn. Cherries, peaches and apples have
been damaged Some wheat fields have beeH nipped
in the milk, and no golden harvest will wave over
them. The leaves OF trees seem in exposed places
if scalded In elligen,e of this wide spread
lsmity pours in upon us from all directions. Our
telegraphc dispatches give information from many
points Some days must elapse before can be
fully advised Of the extent Of the destruction
wrought by this strange visit 9ton which is the mote
dishesrtening from the splendid prosperity Of which

statements of destruction which reach Us sre mat

Bank as a sWindle OF course, no one doubts that
Governor H. was wiling to express, and did e1-
press, his disapprobstion Of the Citizens Bank
charter as boldly in Memphis as he had done else
where, but he did not desire to have word attribu
ted to him which he is confident he never used.
Because however, in the denial of the use of that
language, Gov. HARRIS observed his characteristic
courtesy towards his competitor, coneeding that
the latters recollection might possibly be correct
though it differed entirely from his own, the 0ppo-

GALtArIS, Juns 8, 1859
MEssRs EDIToRs On yesterday, The candidates
for Congress, in this, the FIFTH Congressional Dis
trict, addressed large ami intelligent audieaee,
composed Of citizens representing ell parts of the
county.
Col READY opened the discussion in a speech Of
one hour and half in length, in which he proved
conclusvely and satisfactorily to every impartial
auditor, that there were only two parties in exist
ence, the National Democratic party. and the oF-
position party, composed chiefly of Black Republi-
cans-the most violent and deadly enemies Of the
South lie showed plsinly that the slender faction,
to which his competitor belonged we're indirectly
giving sueoOr to their Northern allies by avoWedy
and slrenuously endeavotiBg to crush out Of power
the only party which had stood as a unt--snee the
disruption the old Wing party-upon all the great
measures IN which the interest and safety of the
South were invOlved or endangered. His remarks,
in vindfcstiOn of the Administration, against the
stale and grstuitoIs charges of eXtravagsncc, were
able and convincing ana we're expltingly received
by all. He fesrlessly defended his course while q
member Of Congress, in refusing TO affiliate in
company with BELL Co., with the Black Repub-
leans in their attempt to paralyzs the interest of
the South.
Before concluding he in q very lucid and Dpres
sive style called the especial attention of the
dienee TO Col HAtion's brief and eVtntfu career as
public servant, and after Ieint ng out some wild
and wssIeful schemes which he had sustained while
member Of the State Legislature, it was obvious
TO every one that his wholesome theory had not
been exempliied by vigorously economical cOuls Sc,
and that be was undeserving the confidence of all
strict adkersRts of frugsIity. In Short Col. REA-
DY's speech may be justly denominsted dignifed,
staesman-ke effort, the telling effect of which the
patriotic voters Of Sumner will disclose in August
| noxt.
Col. HATTOE followed IA 9 lengthy speech in
which he furiousy endeavored to eXtricate himself
from the inextriasbe strait into which the Southern
wing Of the Opposition had blirdly placed them
| selves.
''0ur Boz" has fallen terribly in love with the
unterri6ed Democracy Since their votes would
not De unacceptable, 'their doctrines don't come
quite as near smelling 70 Heaven" as they did. Bu
with all his chicanery and article the honest people
Of the Fifth Congressional District will undoubtedly
consign him to fate with which he is net wholly
unacquainted. FABRIcIUs.

Of difficulty in negotiating Sterling Exchange.

JUNE FRosF-DAMAGE on THE CRoPs.-A severe
frost occurred on Saturday night which We fear,
from the reports that have come to hand by tele-
graph and Otherwise, has been quite general and
injurious TO the growing crops The accounts are,
We presume, much exaggerated, hs reports Of such
disasters usually are, hut We spprehend that con-
siderable damage has been dlne t. corn, potatoes,
garden vegetables, and possibly to wheat A gem
tlemsn who arrived from Cleveland yesterday, re-
ports the corn North Of Columbus as badly cut, IS
are also mmoR and sweet potatoes, tomatoes and
other tender vegetables. In Preble county the
mercury was down to freezing point. Considerable
corn was down yesterday, bat our informant thinks
it will recover, and that Feplsnting will not be ne
oesssry to any great extent, He does not consider
the wheat damaged, bat upon this point nothing de-
finite be said for several days. In Bourbon
county, Kentucky, correspondent writes US that
corn, wheat So, are much injured. In our iEme-
diaie neighborhood We find that on bi IN ground the
crops have not suffered, while il low places they
have been damaged, II is feared that the grape
crop is injured hut upon this point We shall proba-
bly, have reliable information for tomorrow.
Upon the whole, we do not think there is ground
for any serious alarm. Judging from information
obtained direct from gentlemen from the country,
we infer that the wheat is probably safe, snd that
few warm days viii restore the corn. Cincinnati
