The Frost.
Destructive frosts, on the night Of the
25th, are reported from various points in
North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and South
Carolina. In this State, advices from the
coast in the neighborhood of Charleston, re-
port disastrous results to the crops Much of
the cotton will have to be replanted, and the
injury to the early vegetables is irreparable.
No frost so late and destructive has occurred
in that section for fifty years. From the tone
of ourState exchanges, vast amount of cotton
will have to be replanted in all sections of the
State. In the cotton region Of North Carroll
ma it is feared the crop is entirely ruined.
Late fruit and the wheat are also reported in
jured.
The Defaulting County Treasurers.
Last week mention was made of the ar
rest of J. M. Allen, County Treasurer Of
Greenville, and Mr.. Eichelberger, ex.County
Treasurer of Edge6eld, charged with being
defaulters, and the release of the latter by
Judge Carpenter on writ of habeas corpus.

trial justices of that county, and admitted to

charges to be preferred against him at the

ter's decision to the Supreme Court, notice of

Pope and G. D. Melton, the counsel for the
State. The counsel are represented as being
confident of success in the higher court.
The Indian War.
No active operations against the Indians
have been reported since the assassination Of
Gen. Candy. The Indians, however, continue
troublesome, and the various tribes in the
West have committed many depredations re-
Gently. All the Indians east of the lava beds
have been advised of Captain Jacks exploit,
and they have decorated themselves with war
paint, and are having war dances, which &C.
ton indicates that their voice is for war, and
that they will open all along the lines this
summer, afording ample opportunity for the
troops to display their skill in fighting the
dusky warriors. But one tribe-the Warm
Spring Indians-are friendly to the whites,
and they are regarded as very important al
lies.
Small parties of the Modocs are raiding
around the country securing good horses,
while enough remain in the lava beds to keep
the troops employed.
From the Northwest.
by letter, dated Yankton, Territory
of Dakota, April 10Th, just received from
Lieutenant Wallace, of the 9TH cavalry, we
learn that all the troops recently on duty in
this State have arrived in Dakota, and all but
two companies, which have been sent to st.
Paul as an escort to the international bound
ary survey, are now in camp near Yankton.
Yankton is in the Missouri valley, isdescrlbed
as being the most fertile section of the United
States, and rapidly filling with settlers. The
climate is very rigorous, however. A recent
storm is thus described by Lieut.. Wallace,
which confirms the various newspaper accounts
of the severe weather in that region:
"On the 18th, the wind blew 6ercely from
the south all day and night, changing on
Sunday to the north. At IL, NJ, driving
rain set in, continuing until 9 o'clock, P. M,
when it commenced showing, and proved to
be the seyerest storm ever known in Dakota.
On Monday our horses commenced freezing,
and we're sent to the town for more comforta-
BILE quarters and as the men we're in danger
of freezing also, (the tents being literally
filled with SNOWY our camp was temporarily
broken up, and with great difficulty we reached
the town-so binding was the snow that we
could not see ten feet in front of us; and
