Unfavorabie Crop Reports from ,he
SOuth.

SAVANNAH, March %. -Advices from south
ern Georgia and Florida say that early veget-
ables are generally ruined by the recent cold
spell. In the vicinity of Lake, Florida several
acres of early vegetables were destroyed, not
understanding, that large fires were kept burn
ing in the fields during the cold mig ht. The
polar wave extended as far south as Gaines
vile, Florida. Intelligence to the same import
comes from Live Oak and Welborn. This dis
aster will materially reduce the shipment of
vegetables to che northern markets. During
the past few weeks the destruction of field crops
has been general in Georgia and Florida, and
farmers will have to Te-plant.

sand three hundred and twenty-seven tons
of copper. The product Of petroleum rose
from five hundred thousand barrels in 1859
to ten million eight hundred and sixty-seven
thousand nine hundred and thirty barrels in
1874. West of the Rocky mountains the
official figures show that California, Nevada,
Idaho, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Oregon,
Washington and New Mexico yielded of the
precious metals, So, 42S, 2O5 in 1874, and in
1875, $50, $50, O37.
Advices from Washington indicate
that there is a temporary run on all of the
sub-Treasuries from which silver is being
paid out. Hence there is n growing scarcity
of fractional currency and slight premium
attached to the latter. The government
commenced paying on Wednesday with
$16,OO0,OO0 of coin pieces in the vaults and
a capacity of running off 100000 month
all the time, In month or two, If neues-
sary, that capacity could be almost doubled.
The amount of silver coin and bullion in
the hands of the government is $2O,OOO,OOO-
possibly when all is coined $21 900, OOO-and
payments during the rush have been about
100000 day, and it is estimated that the
rush will be kept up for three or four days
longer. 1t is said, however, that there is no
danger that there will be any scarcity of
silver for the redemption of fractional cur
rency because there are only $42, 600, 900 out
standing, of which $4,000, 900 or $12, OOO, 600
are lost or destroyed, and $1O,OOO,OOO per-
haps will be floating around for some time.
There is only the danger of boarding, which
is incident to any change in the system of
paper money back to a coin system.

ment for acts done as secretary OF war, Hot

legged by the house Of Representatives, in the
pleadings subsequent to the articles of itti-
parchment, can be those alleged, If the same
are not averred in said articles. .. Ordered,
that the Hearing proceed on the 4th of May !;
that the opening and close OF the argument
be given to respondent; that three COUNSEL
and three managers may be heard IN such
order as may be agreed on between them

was given the managers of the Belknap i'm
parchment to examine as witnesses on the
trial any members of the committee on ex-
pendltures in the war department or any

NAV deem requisite. The house then
voted on the amendments to the legis-
lative appropriation bill. All the amend
ments on which separate vote was
not asked were agreed TO in bulk. The sec
ton transferring the Indian bureau to the var

ting member. Mr., Thompson followed, sup
porting the majority, and Mr.. Baker, Of In
diana, advocated the minority side, when
