FRosT.-On Tuesday and Wednesday
nights last a severe frost visited the CEN
trail and eastern portions of our county,
leaving unmistakable marks of death and
decay on corn, potatoes, beans, vines and
garden struck" generally. A frost at
this season Of the year in our locality is
scarcely within the recollection of the old
est inhabitant, and those above referred TO
are consequently SUI genereis. SO great
was the severity of the cold that corn, po-
tatoes, &c, on low grounds, arc ruined ir-
revocably.

DRoUGHT.-The long continued sun
shine has effectually extracted the mois-
ture from the bosom of mother earth, in
this section of the valley. In the east
cru portions Of our county, where the
drought is most severe, farmers are under
the necessity of feeding their stock from
their meadows, but little or no rain hay
ing fallen for nearly two months. Spring
crops arc consequently suffering greatly
for lack of moisture, and grass is light, af-
fording scarcely half an ordinary crop.

WASHINGTON. Janutry "a.


WASHINGTON, JanUgTy p.
The President has announced his detsrnina-
ton to cashier Gen Porter, and to dismiss lin
in disgrace from the army. The Constitution
makes the President COMMANDMENT Chief Of
the army snd navy, and he has, therefore, the
power 10 do this. But, in view Of the testi-
mony ELECTED by the court martial, the country
viii be sstounded By such an act, utterly at
variance with the facts of the case. The eVi-
dence completely and fully exoDerates Gen.
Porter of every charge brought against him.
The prosecution had utterly failed of making
out a caso, and, at one stage Of the proceed
ines, were about TO throw up the esse. Every
lawyer of any note In Washington did not
hesitate to declare, when the evidence was all
in, that the whole weight of the testimony
proved not only the entire innocence Of General
Porter, but also that ne had acted Throughout
ia the most able AID gallant manner. And,
after the trial was over, the friends Of General
Porter land be has them by thousands) crowd
