as among the FIRST of the statesmen and patriots
of the day, and we denounce his exile by the au

which even the Gar of all the Russas dare not
attempt to commit. and violation of the sacred
rights with which the Constitution of our country
invests every citizen; and that we will bail with

Governor of our sister State, and that Ohio has

THE FRosT We gather from our exchanges
the following items in reference to the frost:
Tho H,rt;n,tu, Dauocrat save.
This community was visited by severe frost,
last Saturday night. which will prove destructive
of the entire crops OF corn and buckwheat, as
well as the partial loss of the potato crop, veget-
ables. &c This is heavy blow farmers.
Says the Upton Democrat:
The early aud last frost in this county, togeth.
er. have ruined the present crop OF corn. There
will be no corn raised in Upton county, this year.
Those who have any of last years corn OH hand
ought to il for seed How general these
frosts have been we cannot say. but from what
we can glenn from our exchanges they have Wis
tied many other counties in tbs State.
Says the Washington Democrat:
We have had two severe frosts in the last
week, a strange occurrence for the season. 1t
has gone in the tobacco business quite exten-
sively-almost every crop in the county being
patronized. The damage to tobbcco will be
considerable.
Says the Wabash lntelligencer:
The cold weather which prevailed for a week
or two previous eliminated, last saturday night,
in a freeze and on Sabbath morning the ground
was white with frost, and in many places water
was frozen to the depth of nearly half an inch
The damage done to the corn crop is immense.
On the high lands between the Wabash and the
Mississinewa and Eel rivers. the damage appears
to be the greatest The corn is very seriously
injured The sorghum and tobacco cropis ruined.
The potato vines are all wiltei and dead, while
melons, cucumber and pumpkin vines are thor
oughly cooked. Here and there. in places where
the fields were shaded by woods the injury is not
so great On Sunday night there was another
pretty severe frost.
The Shelbyville Volunteer says the frost did
no injury in that immediate neighborhood, but
west and north of that district corn, tobacco, and
other vegetation was badly injured. and in many
localities entirely killed. that on damp, cold
ground suffering the most.
The Lawrenceburg Register says:
The frosts of this week have very materially
injured the cucumber and tomato vines, and con-
siderable damage was sustained by other vegeta-
ton.
The Lafayette Argus says:
The frost en- Saturday and Sunday nights last
did incalculable injury to the crops in this
vicinity-many fields of corn were entirely ruin
oj, and others will not yield half crop. Large
fields of potatoes have their tops cut to the
ground. -Buckwheat was entirely destroyed.
Tobacco in many fields will be valueless.
The New Albany Ledger says:
In this county we hear of but little complaints
of injuries by it to the growing crops. The fol:-
