The Frost ma the crops.

The western papers have had gloomy
accounts of the work of the recent frost on
the growing crops, especially in the north
ern part Of Illinois aud iowa. Some per-
sons who have travelled through these
states report the corn crop as entirely des-
troyed, and that no attempt will be made
to harvest it. But the Chicago Evening
Journal says the damage has not been as
great as was supposed only on the low
lands was the frost really killing, and the
corn crop will turn out pretty well after
all. The damage done to the tobacco and
vegetable crops was more extensive. Even
in Kentucky, in the counties bordering on
the Ohio river, tobacco on the low lands
was very much injured. One man isre-
ported as losing half of crop of two
hundred acres. If the damage is as great
as represented, it will make quite a differ
euce in the price of the weed the coming
season, as the Kentucky crop is greatly
depended ON, and previous to the frost
there was never finer or larger growing
crop in the state. ~
From other parts of the country the crop
accounts are generally good. In wiscOu-
sin the wheat crop is all secured in good
order, aud fruit, corn and potatoes promise
finely. In Pennsylvania corn aud potatoes
promise an abundant yield, and tobacco
looks very wen. In Maryland the potato
crop is unusually. large aud good. In
southern Indiana the crop prospects are
very fine. and the tobacco crop will be
twice as large as last years. In New York
the wheat crop is much better than for
several years, and everything else promises
largely. Gloomy reports come about the
grain crops of Ohio and Illinois, but with
the bright prospects elsewhere, any falling.
off there will produce no apprehensions in
the country at large. All the reports from
Europe are TO the effect that the crops are
unusually good, and prices are already
falling. The potato disease has appeared
in some parts of ireland and Prussia, but
the grain crop is great. Hence the de-.
maud for grain exports from this country
will be smaller than usual this year, and
prices will rule lower. There is abundant
reason to believe that the combined crops
of both continents viii be amply large for
all demands, and that prices will be satis-
factory to consumers. and At the same time
fairly reward the producers.

rhe mnrder Or pr. wm. <. Ina.on.

A most aggravating case of cold
blooded murder has come to our
knowledge, which is none the less attrO-
cious that it was done under the name Of
war, by men calling themselves Confeder-
ate soldiers. When Morgan's men were
in the neighborhood Of PemerOy, Meigs
county, DR.. William n. Hudson, father of
L. D. Hudson, Esq, OF this city, was shot
down in the most unprovoked and brutal
manner, under the following cireumstan-
ces: DR.. Hudson had valuable horse which
he had just left in place of eoncealment,
when as he was returning to his home he
saw the rebel forces filing the street in
front of his house. At the same time he
sswa aneighbor Of his, named Heisel, who was
somewhat excited with liquor, but unarm-
ed and perfectly inoGensive, daring the
rebels "to come on, with the brsvsdo cO1h-
mon to partial intOxication. he WIS en-
tirely alone, and of course harmless, but
the rebels fred at him and killed him in
stanny. DR.. Hudson ran to him to rem
der assistance if needed. He too was IN
armed and alone, out rebel lieutenant
ordered a sherpshOoter TO bring him
down." which he did, the ball passing
through the groin and thigh. 1t was de-
Hberate and cold blOOded murder, and
nothing less. This occurred on Saturday,
the 18Th Dr. Hudson lived until the
Wednesday following, when be died of his
wounds.
DR.. Hudson's family has been rapidly
thinned by death within comparatively
short time. Prof. Timothy Hudson, whose
tragic death upon the Cleveland and Pitts
burgh Railroad is we'll remembered, was a
son Of DR.. Hudson, as was Mr. C. C. Hud-
son, Of Oberlin, who died few months
ago.

Noble Letter from President Lincoln.
The late Colonel Mslancthon Smith, who
was lately killed before Vicksburg at the
head of his regiment IAN Illinois One) was,
before the war, Postmaster Of Rockford,
Illinois. After his death application was
made by several persons for the position,
and counter application put in for the
continuance of the Office in the widows
hands. The matter being brought before
the President he indOrsed the application
for the widow, and afterWard sent letter
to the Ostmaster-General of which the
following is copy; e-6
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WAsHINGTOS, July q, 1868.
Hon. TER-GENERAL-Sir: Yes
terday little Endorsements of mine went to
you in two cases of Postmssterships
sought for widows whose husbands have
fallen in the battles Of this war. These
cases occurring on the same day, brought
me TO reflect more stteEively than l had
before done as to what is fairly due from
US here in the dispensing Of patronage
toward the men, who, by fighting our bat
ties, bear the chief burden of saving our
country. My conclusion is, that other
claims and qualifications being equal, they
have the better right, and this is especially
applicable to the disabled soldier and the
deceased soldiers family.
Your obedient servant, A. LINCOLN.
