Persons who arrived in the city yesterday
from places on the St. Crolx, and also from
portions Of Dakota county, between here and

in TINT locality on Sunday morning. We have
no particulars as to the extent Of the frost nor
how severe 1t Was, but have heard suflcienE
to chow that in every case on damp swalea

We have not heard any such report from
other portions Of the State, and are Of the
opinion that the frost vas not general one,
but confined to comparatively small district,

Fort Smelling In 1872, do not show q parallel
to this phenomenon, and We are bound to be-

Incidents.


lf1o1n OuF Specia1 correspondent
New YonK, Tuesday, July II, 1868.
The telegraph will hare given you the de-
tails Of the riot, now in progress in this city,
long before this reaches you, I propose to
write up merely what saw AWAY from the
mob, and to tell you the general appearance
OF the city.
The occasion Of the outbreak was the at-
tempt to draft in city where the mostinf4m-
ous peace doctrines hare been openly ayowed,
and received with cheers, ut atime, too, when
the militia, who would otherwise have been
available, were nway in Pennsylvania. Brook
Ign, also, had cent her promptest men. and
there was little to rely On In IN emergency
such as has arisen. The friends Of the Gov
eminent and all loyal men dep1ore the fact
that with no organized forces the Govern
ment entered upon an undertaking, hazardous
ut all times where disloyalty is tolerated, aud
doub1y dangerous in New York under present
circumstance .-....
There seems to be doubt whether the re-
sietance is the result Of IN organized plan, or
a mere freak which has intensified into fear
ful result. As indications Of organization
these facts are to be noted:

MIR. ANDREWS FR0M VIRGINIA.
Our tclcgraplic dispatches, relative to
the New York riot, say that the f1ends
were melted to their devilish work and led
on in person by M1. Andrews Of Virginia
BE was the Jack Cade Of the occasion,
without meaning any slight to the lattcr's
memory, who was by far the nobler man
Of the two. When the frenzied rioters
burned charitable institution, he clapped
his hands and shouted "wel done" In
the midst Of the destruction Of private
property, he suggested the cutting Of loyal
newspaper offices. Whenever any COW
ardly murder Of women and children was
likely to occur, Hr. Andrews Of Virginia
gaye his sanction. When thousand
armed 1uf1lans attacked an INNOCENT negro,
Mr. Andrews Of Virgins was the Bert-am
at the mob's back, whispering "murdcr
him" and the cowardly brutes obeyed their
master. Everywhere, 1lr. Andrews Of yir-
ginis appeared rs the head spirit Of these
devils. i
Who is 11r. Andrews Of Virginia, the
inan whom the 1EorM pats gently On the
back and speaks Of as "the gentleman
who took q conspicuous part in the pro-
ceedings"? By what sudden encbantment
0did this Southern rebel appear in the
streets Of New York; Was he the bearer
of the peace oyerturcs, JEFF. Davis sent to

what particular branch Of the high-toned
Southern family tree did he sp1ing2 As
he is now in Fort Lafayette, We trust he
will not be paro1ed and sent. of on his
good behavior, before these questions are
answered. The country would like to
know his history; where the Woods found
him; how they got him to New York;
and how much he was to have for lis ser
vices.
As Northern hemp is not aristocratic
enough to hang this F. F. v, and his ar
rest Is clearly arbitrary aud violation of
the Constitution, (sce Times of Yesterday
morningo We Trust that before he leaves
the Northern Bastile for his Richmond
home, commissioners may be sent to him
politely inviting him to furnish them with
such information as he may deem proper
upon these points And We hope, more
over, that the messenger Of the Chicago
zswes may be allowed to visit him and ac-
company him on his trip, to prepare a

Bishop Bayley (R, CO. Of the Diocese Of
Newark, speaking in reference to the riot in
New York, said there was but one way to
deal with 1t, and that was the Napoleonic one,
namely to use grape and caunlster until every
distu1ber Of the peace should return to his
duty. There are not q few people who agree
in this view Of the case.

Only three OF these machines hare been tes-
ted to-day. The first was Mason's ttEmpirs''
"a tnug little machine, and itEprincfpal fea.
ture was its littleness. It bad started while
I was In mother part of the field I askedn
farmer how It worked. "Oh," said lie, "is
cuts an inch and q haH wide, and would be
excellent to run around a hundred swarms Of
bees to keep them from swarming." But the
little machine with m " "Empire" for name,
did pretty good work, so fur as was able to
observe, The farmers ignored it, however.
Balls "Ohio" took the field. It does good
work-cutting well, running easy, and the
grain is delivered from it in good shape for q
haul.rakc
Kirby's hand,raker followed, doing excel
lent work. The grain Was raked from the
platform by the driver, who delivered it IN
excellent shape. He thus saved one hand over
the two machines, which preceded him. To
do this successfully much must depend upon
the character Of the grain, team and skill OF
the raker.
The trial Of machines entered under this
head is to be continued to. morrow. The trial
will continue MI day tomorrow. The attend
ance to-day has been greater than it was at
the State trial at Dixon last year, the first day.
