We are informed by a gentleman who
has just returned from Northern Alabama
and Mississippi, that on Friday night last,
the peach crop in that vicinity was entirely
cut off. During the day there was con-
siderable rain, and in the evening the wea-
Their suddenly became very cold, and in tae
night there was hard frost. About Flor

it was supposed the peaches were entirely
DESTROYED. How far South the frost ex-
tended our informant did not ascertain.

THE FOREIGN NEWS.

BY the arrival of the steamer Europa on Sat
urday, we have fuller accounts Of the reception
Of the news Of the seizure of Mason and Sill
dell in England. It appears that tho Europa
brought out to Lord Lyons, the British Min
lister at Washington, instructions to demand
the return Of Mason and Slidell TO the
British authorities, and in case of refusal to
demand his passports and return home, and
that the ultimatum Of the British Cabinet is
the delivery of the prisoners and falireparation.
1t appears also the law officers Of the Crown
have reversed their decision, as reported to
have been given previous to the arrival Of the
last steamer, and now give il as their opinion
that Captain Wilkes had no right to arrest
peaceabo passengers sailing under the British
flag, and that the deed be has committed
amounts to a fragrant violation Of the code Of
nations and direct insult to the country.
If such an opinion is in accordance with
the views Of the British Ministry, and is sus-
tanned by the appreciation Of public opinion,
then England's boosted neutrality has been Of
the most fimsy Character mere sham to
disguise her real intentions toward the South
ern Confederacy, -and she has only awaited
this weak pretext to declare her long cherish
ed hostility to the perpetuity of this govern
meut II the reports that now reach us are
reliable, surely " Cotton is King"--of Eng
land as well as Of the Southern Confederacy,--
and we may find the war in which we are en-
gagged to be more general in its consequences
and more decisive in its results than wo have
heretofore imagined
But we are slow to believe that England
desires at this time to rush into war with
this country. Her Canadian interests are OF
too much consequence to her, and the feeling
Of hostility to the parent government is toe
great, for England to risk the result Of con-
test with this country, which must inevitably
lose to her the control Of her Canadian Prov
inces But if she is fool-bardy enough tc
make the venture on so slim subterfuge as
the seizure Of the rebel ambassadors from OF
board a steamship sailing under the British
flag, with herself must rest the responsibility
Of the result Of the issue.
We trust that the Administration will stanC
firm in the position it has taken-a position
for which England herself has furnished 81
many precidents-and that no buster or AFRO
giant demands Of the British Lyon, will dete
US from marching straight on in the specifies
road to the suppression Of the rebellion
England may demand the restoration of Ma
son and Sidell 20 the protection Of her flag
but once our prisoners, we have no idea thu
two such arch traitors are to be so easil
snatched from our possession. Johnny Blu

who lived in Savannah, and owned one or
more plantations in the Beaufort District,
stocked with some six OF seven hundred
slaves, has probably lost them by tho 'thiev-

Beaufort. Stoddard owns an elegrnt summer
residence in Brattleboro, probably worth

cation, as will also his slaves and estates in

THE CAVALRY REGIMENr.-The presenta-
ton of colors to the cavalry regiment took
place at Burlington on Thursday last From
a full account Of the proceedings in the Bur
lington Times, we judge it to have been an
exceedingly interesting affair. The colors
presented were State flag Of blue silk hand
somely embroidered with the device Of a
shield containing the stars and stripes and
the arms and motto Of the State; also a ma
tional flag inscribed with the name of the
regiment. The national flag was presented
by Gov. Holbrook, the state flag by Lieut.
Gov. Underwood, each with appropriate
speeches which were responded to by Lieut.
Col. Kellogg. In the evening levee was
holden at the " American House." when
splendid pair of epaulets and leopard skin
blanket were presented to Col. Plat, and al
elegant pair of epaulets to Lieut.. Col KEEL
