Frost.—On Wednesday morning last, tho
earth was coveted with a whilo frost, the first
of any consequence that we have laid this full.
Tlt-i unpruc-dented drought under which
this ►eciioti of the country liu* labored dining
the Inst I3 or 15 months, still continues, with
out the Lint appearance of ruin. The water
courses mid springs are, iu many instances cm
tiiely dried up; and those that nro not. nro lower

our o <li st inhabitants. Reedy River can be

bridge, widioul wetting tho soles nf their shoe*.
Too drou till appear* to bo general, throughout
the Southern aim Western State*.
Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated
“Aboetille District, Sept. 28.
“The cotton cr. p, in this section, has been
greatly injured by the drought. About six
week* ago, the prospect wus as proiuixiiig as
we could possibly tiuve wished; bull am now
of opinion that toe crop will fill considerably
►hurt of that of last year. A short ci op nud 11
short price, will make many n light purse; but
while we h ive to lament ovor the deficiency of
the cotton crop, our hearts aie ch-ered by thu
fact that we shall have an nbiiUdanco ol corn,
■ nd to spa e. Our oldest citizens nny tliul they
Uo not recollect ever to lm\o seen the water
course* «>s low as they are at this timo. Many
springs are fuiling, and large streams fast drying
up.”
0*TIiq extraordinary feat performed by Cap-
tain Barclay, the English pedestrian, of walking
one thousand miles in one thousand suezesaivu
hours, is thus related by the Liverpool corresj
poudent of the New York Star;
In October, 1808, Barclay mado a match of a
tlioiinanu fill incus with Air. Webster a great
sportsman of that day that he (die captain)
would walk a thousand miles in a thousand sue.
ce.-sive hours, at tile rate of 11 mile in each and
e\ory hour. The font wus to bo performed 011

eacli mile, which ut thu first lie had dune iu 13
or 14 itiiuiUe*. But, during the whole lime, he
did not refuse his oats, as Mr. Tntlorsull would
say; but eat and drunk well, and bets wore 2 io

his long walk,and had himself waked after he

A Trance of a Week's Duration.—\ young

stiito of excitement hi her mind us to throw hor
into n trance, ill which condition sho has re.
imtinod silica yesterday wock, iuscii-ihlo to eve

period she has partaken of no feud, except such
aliment ns thin gruel, which her friend* or nt.
londunis force into her mouth, between her
clenched teeth. Such a long period of uncoil-
scioiisiiess and tihsiinenco has had in) apparent
uff-.ct upon hei health; situ breathes regularly,
her respiration is similar to that of n person in h
deep sleep, and hor cheeks and lips have the
glow and line of Inmltli, the ruddy color of
which, added to a face possessing regularity of
feature, gives hoi an extremely inlue»ling and
henutiliil appearance. The only million tint
has heou observed during this lungtli of time, by
those around her is a movement of tlin head,
which is turned occasionally from one nide to
the oilier, ns she lies upon hor back, and u rapid
rolling of the cyoball* under the closed lids —
She ha* now been eight days in this niuguiar

believe that her spirit is communing with the
