The FRosrs AND .CoLD WEAFHER.--
We think there was little or no frosl
on Tuesday nightin the vicinity of Macon
The weather was cool enough. At three
O'Clock on the morning Of Wednesday
the mercury indicated thirty-sight, and
probably fell somewhat lower before sun
rise. But the wind was fresh and the
air exceedingly dry, and we see no indi-
cations that even tender garden vege-
tables were destroyed.
j. We hear, however, that there was
plenty Of ice in Atlanta, and, in fact, as
low down as GAINESVILLE, and fruits and
vegetable were destroyed.
1t is reported from some sections of
Florida and Southwestern Georgia that
the long continuance of cool weather
sickened and in some instances killed the
young cotton-Macon Ga.) Telegraph,
AprH l6. :. 'o-'+ :, I'll Z - y
| CoTToN.-The season in this section
has commenced disastrously. 1t is estis
mated that one>fourth Of the cotton had
been planted and was up. Tuesday and
Wednesday mornings considerable white
frosts appeared, and thin ice was seen.
Nearly all cotton that was up was killed,
and the previous and succeeding cold has
either siekened or stinted most of the re-
mainder, thus rendering replanting neces-
sary. Seed is very scarce, and sufficient
to plant the Same area cannot be OBJ
tanned. The weather is not yet settled,
and the nights are very cool. Farmers as
rule have sowed ample grain for their
needs Columbus (Ga) Sun, AprI

THE COLD WEATHER.-Since our last
issue, the weather has been disagreeably
cold for the season-heayy frosts nearly
every morning -overcoats and big fires
exceedingly comfortable. What little
fruit was left by the last cold SNAP"
has been killed by the icy touch of Jack
Frost. = Dalton { CAD Citizen, April
Is.
WEATHER AND CRoPs-Since yester-
day change in the atmosphere took
place, the clouds gathered close together,
and slight but pleasant rains set in
during last night, continuing ever since.
We hope this rain may not continue long,
and prove more beneficial TO the planter
than the late disastrous cold snap has
done.--Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser,
april II. d - - A.-'.t - ~
WEATHER.-The weather continues
cold, with indications of rain. Gardens,
and we suppose crops generally, have
been considerably wilted by recent cold. |
We hope the extent of the injuries is |
not very great--EqJaala (All) NeaOs,
april 10. .l..s ..t.s
FRosT-We had regular white frost
yesterday morning, killing all tender gar
den vegetables, such as beans, okra, Gus
cumbers, squashes, Irish potatoes, and
even corn. We fear that all the cotton
up is ruined. Cotton seed are scarce and I
hard to obtain. We shall look for an
other killing frost about the full moon,
the Goth of this month. We would ad-
wise our farmers whose cotton has been
killed to plant more corn-it is not too
late.-Autauga (Ala) Citizen, April
Is.
FRosTs IN ALABAMA-W learn that
there was frost throughout considerable
section traVersed by the Mobile and
Girard railroad, commencing few miles
from this city. The cotton that had
come up was probably either killed or
so much injured as to stunt it and de-
prive it of good stand. The Union
Springs Times reports frost in that Sec
ton severe enough to entirely kill the
cotton that was up, and adds that great
fears are entertained that seed for re-
planting cannot be obtained. : Columbus
Enquirer, april l6. -
A COLD SNAP.-on Tuesday ice formed
in this vicinity, and nothing saved the
fruit and gardens but shift of the wind
from north to northeast. 1t is a curious |
meteorological fact that though the
mercury may fall to very low degree,
while the wind prevails from the north
east or east, frost need never be appre-
hended. - CuthJert (GG) appeal,
AprH Is.
THERE was a heavy frost throughout
this section on Wednesday morning. 1t
is stated by some tina: early wheat has
been injured, but from the appearance of
several lots we have seen in town and |
country, we do not think the injury has
been serious or general. Tender Vege,
tatiOn was ruined. The leaves of per
simmon trees were Wilted. Very little
cotton in this region was up-Athens
Ga) Banner, ApY9I l6.
DAMAGE To THE New UPLAND Crop.
We learn by letters from Albany that
the newly planted upland crop has been
cut off by the recent frost, and planters
have been compelled to replant and in
some instances, where planters used up
all their seed in planting, have been
forced to send to Macon, Augusta and
Columbus for new supplies to replant.
We learn from a gentleman from Ameri-
Gus that almost the entire crop of that |
section that was planted was being chops
ped out, having progressed so far, but
the late frost has destroyed it all-SaU-
a7lndh Republican, ApTH IT,.
TIE FRUIT CRoP-There is very little
doubt that the cherry and peach crops in
this county have been seriously, if not
fatally, damaged by the freeze that fol-
lowed the snow OF Saturday last. We
have made inquiries in different sections
of the county, and from all have received
to this effect. The apple
buds, We learn, have not been injured,
or only in cases where they were much
advanced towards blossoming.-St. Ma
