ThsE*EPFECTS OF THE VrOuST. So long as it was at all probable that the devastation occasioned to the planting interests by the late frosts was restricted in its area to Georgia and the adjoining cottongrowing States, it was a matter of selibus regret,gloom and apprehension to the:planter of those States. But now that it is fully ascertained that the frosts have extended through nearly the entire cotton growing region, and the destruction has been general. ii becomes a <jesiion'wbeih e- the latter will, in truth, be a calamity or not. Accounts from every direction, North, South, lail and West. conclusive ly indicatc that all have endured a com mon Nie, and that 'the coion 6rop of 1849 mtsi h greatly curtailed. That it will be hnelicial to the plinters of ihe $outh that it should be curtailed, provided that cur tailment. is genera?. is a matter already admitted. . It tas been admitted by the assent universally given to the proposition. that there has been an overproduction of late in the cotton-growing States, that more cotton has been made than was re quisite to supply the-Ademand, that a di minution of-production would occasion an increase of price, aid that the farmer, in case but half a crop should be produced. would receive the same amount of mroney for it, saving at home all The labor attend not upon picking. growing. packing and prepraing it for sale, and transporung it to market. If the efects of* the late frusts be a's general as we have sn)llose thetn, they will have prnctically carried out the objects of the various associations which "hive been proposed frdtn different quarters of ih'e South, for tie' purpose of secarmig a ge'etail.reductioni ot the rop of cottoe. 5o far as the planter is concerned. there fore, we do not see so much cause fur gloom on account of th~e late apparent c.. Ianmity. It is true that it is melancholy enough to see a promising crop,.just shoot * itrgron the earth. withered and black ened by frost. It' is like the nipping hope in thabud. - Yet it'the vdasummati6n shall be effected to which we have rel'ed, it may be discovered in the end, that, as is frequently the case with the dispensations of- prvsidence, appnramnt evil is positive good, sad what is thought to be a curse at irst may prove to be a "lessing at last. Nor, in .the view which we have taken of the' matter, will the genetal pecuniary in'ternsis of the'-South be materially aflect ed, since the same amount of money will be paid for her half crop of cotton. As a Aenetral'thing we may take it for g-aated that the amount paid for the cotton erop of'the 'Souih, does not very greatly vary,- from year to year. if there is more produced the price is lowered; if Jess is grown, the prico is raised --and a calcu lation would show that the common stand ord is reached at last. One thing is certain -that over-production in the growing of cot to -bpnefits no one less than the planter, a tunder production injures all others the plauter. We mean, of others in any wise inte-esied in * n, safe and manufacturing ietial. 0 ger to be apprehelldetd as te tint rom the eurtailmentoCttha:.tpea, It 10 -tWill engender a spirit 01 ation among our merchants which K- eialthy, always. hazardots, and wious.

Georgia is the largest Cotton-growing state in the South, antd there is every reason lo believe that she connot produce more than htalf a cr-op ini 1849, assuming that all the seasona hence forth will he favorable, and that the late frost of the spring will tnot be answe-red (as is generally the ease) by an early frost in the fall, It is reasonable to believe, from reports received, that much or similar will be, the sat e of thtings throughout the South. 'The price of cotton. thterefore, must rise, aud speculationa will be warmed into life. - Savannah Georgian, taEjNND.~--A letter from Waterlord. nlluding to the rush of emigration from that port, goes on to say: ."There is no -blinikitng the question, that If the present eomigratiott goes on mnuch longer there will not be sullicient labor left in Ireland to till half the land for suppnmrtof such as may survive the ruin that Is apparent to all ac gnaeinted with the country, its truth was nativelv but candidly allowed hy Mtr.'tot phens, a solicitor, wvho in' the course of a case lately tried. expressed the almost 'uni 'versal reeling onthiis poidit.- . ie said that 'if emigration contitnued much longer to thin the population. the cows would have to go six or seven milea to get milked.'''

Doyle, the worthy Sheriff of Pickens distict, vas badly Wounded by a pistol shot in arresting a man ih Pick ens district, on Sunday last charged with passlbg counterfeit money, The circum stanes as related to us *ere as follows: two travellers, of respectable appearance, and well tnounted, called to stay all night at the house of Col. Jeptha Nortonj a few miles above PickensC. H. In the morn ing they each presented a $20 bill to have changed to pay their expenses. &c. Cpl. Nbrtin took their money and gave them small bills, but did not exinaine it particu larly. After some time, however, he dus pected all was not right, and upon exami nation discovered that the bills were coun terleits. The travellers by this time were several miles on their way. Col. Norton got a warrant. placed it in the hoods of Mr. Doyle the Sheriff if Pickens, who summoned a posse, and made pursuit. TI-ny came up with the men at West Union 12 miles above, wf6u upon being question ed rs to where they lodged &c. the night befote,.took to their heels. The race Was codtinUed for some distauce ott horseback, when Ieing plosely pressed, the travellers left their horses. separated, and attempted to escape through the woods. Mir. Doyle pursued one, a-d onouempting to seize him, the man turned on him and fred a pistol, which took effect in his arm and side, inflicting a severe. though it is hoped not a fatal wound. Doyle's friends corn ing up, ho was overpowered and taken to jail. The other escaped. Tpon the person ofthe one arrested, was found a large amount df good money. Since writing the above, we are inform ied .thit Jivo *'eh, of a similar.descriptiou, passed a counterfeit twenty dollar Bill to Mr. A. D. H enbree. of this District. a fe'v days before the octti-enre in Pickens. Fntr.-Within the last six weeka the crtf fire ias been heard nAuch oftener than laual in our city. and in almost every case where the risi' of very extensive dam age was most imminent. In two of these, on the wharves, where huudreds of bales of Cotton are exposed; on the Neck, in the midst of okl wooden buildings and stables with hay-lofts, forniiig' material as ivell calculated to feed a fire as any that could be collected. This'morning about 2o'clock, a fire occurred in a locality just of this character. ~ It commenced in a store where dry goods were sold, by a Mr. Cochran, situate in Kinlg street, one or two doors North of Warren-street. on the Neck, con sumed instantly some eight or ten'woodet shanties in -the vicinity-and was only stayed in its '-devouring" career by the exertions of the Charleston Axrnn-sus tained by the Engine Comranoies. The Axtnen by throwing down fences and cult ing up some of the Bouses, circumscibed a limit to the flames when the wind not being very high they subsided. The land on which the houses stootd, we are infortned, was leased, and belong etd to the estateof Mrs. Shepheid. As far on any of the houses burn -While on the ground this morning we heard that one!of the fire companies, the Marion, had been unablel to: work their engine, the Hlose having been cut in sever al places-. This fact utuited with othE circumttstalnces has induced the impression that the fire was the act of an incendiary. -.Chiarlaion Yeows. *Fronm the CharlIesten Cottrier. LArEn .

Twenty English gent lemon enconnier edl three constables itn the street and a row ensued. Shuts wore fired, and two per. sons were wounded, but not ttaortally. The Governument, for the preservation of the peace of the city, had disarmed the cotnstables. Mecetings had been held, arid petitions to the Queen got up for the recall of Lord Elgin, and ta disavnwv the Rebellion In-. demnity Bill. The hotels -and garrison were under arms, and cannon were plant ed int the att-eets. which had the effect Gf quelling-the out-break for the time being. Rumors of riots at Kitngston.
