DAYTON, Oct ,, lS19--rhe past few days

And Earth has buried all her flowers.
No more the lark, the linnet-sings,
But Silence sits in faded bowers.
There II a shadow on the plain

There is ia woods "A solemn sound
OF hollow warnings whispered round,
As Echo in ler deep recess
For once had turned prophecies.
Shudderng Autumn stops to list,
And brrathcs his fear in sudden signs.

That Quench themselves, and hide in mist. -

GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR GR EAT TBRIrAIN.--Loadon
April 2.-Mr. David McIver, one Of the propr-
etors Of the Cunard line, and member of Parlia-
ment for Berkenhead, writes to the Tines de-
elaring unhesitatingly that from his personal
experience o currier he does not know of any
nation whose trade prospects at present are so
gloomy as Great Britain's. The depression in
the United States and elsewhere does not at oil
approach the depression here. The British
exports to the United States are comparatively
nothing, either as regards volume OF value
The British food importations are steadily in
creasing, and the balance Of trads is so over
wheImingly against Great Britain that he sees
nothing but ruin for home industries, whether
manufacturing or agricultural, if the present
status Of things is allowed to continue. The
export trade from Liverpool to the United States
is 80 small that whenever the restrictions on
importations ofUnited States cattle are removed
gentlemen who are'prepared to put additional
steamers into the trade deliberately intend
TO make outward voyages with water ball
last only, without joining in the scramble for
the little outward freight which other owners
have recently been carrying as ballast at mere
ly nominal rates. "a".hh.

The Cold Snap.

The Cold Snap.
+ We can hardly trust ourselfto say what injury
the sudden cold weather of Friday, Saturday
and Sunday nights did to crops of oil kinds,iu
this county. Some tell US it has done but little
injury, while others as confidently assert that it
has killed NIL the frait, the corn that was up,
and the vegetables. We think, in this instance
it will be safs taidiyidei Il and soy that about
one-half thQ pap. u kilied--perhaps in
some pla6ss the w4ole. fomato, Beet and Pep.
per Plants, Beans, Squashes, Irish Potatoes, &c.,
where uncovered, were killed, and young corn
badly nipped. We sum it all up in the belief
that our fruit crop will be short in quantity and
inferior in quality, and our gardens will be much
later than usual. We are not hurt half so bad
as the farmers and gardeners in the lower coun-
ties, where oil kinds of crops were in more
advanced state than ours. The reporter of the
Netos and Courier took q walk among the truck
farms around Charleston and from his report
we gather the following:
THE PoTATo CRoP.-Taking the crop all round
above the Fork of the roads, it is estimated that
the potatoes have been injured about 20 per
cent The crop will be set back from ten days
to two weeks, which is o matter of the greatest
Importance 10 inc FARMER, aS MS largest pr0htS
arise from the early sales.
THE STRAWBERRY CRoP.-The strawberry plant
is very hardy and gave no indication yesterday
of having eafferod ut oil from the frost. The
farmers, however, say that this crop has been
materially injured and will be set back fully two
weeks.
CUCUMBBRs AND ToMAToEs.-These crops have
been, with few exceptions, killed outright.
BEANS AND PEAs.-These crops have suffered
| considerably and sections the dana
is estimated as high rs 90 per cent. The bean
crop especially is injured, it is considered too
late to replant. The peas we're pretty well nd-
vanced, and in many sections escaped alto
gether, while in others the loss was extensive.
The other crops were not materially injured,
being more hardy and farther advanced.
The loss to the truck farmers around
Charleston is estimated at q quarter of mil
lion dollars.
The frost visited oil parts of the State and did
more or less damage t. oil kinds Of vegetation

The County Commissioners
Held their regular monthly meeting last Tues

only to small amount, rs that officer had not
authorized them to draw for any definite sum :,

from distant parts of the County were in town,
expecting to receive money from the Board,
but as The Commissioners can only draw on the
Treasurer and he being absent, they were
greatly disappointed.
