Heavy frost.

--On the morning of the 1st inst., after a continuous rain for three days, interspersed with sleet and hail, there was a heavy black frost in the upper-districts of South Carolina, and in Middle and Western North Carolina. The mountains in Western North Carolina were covered with snow. It is feared, by persons competent to judge, that the entire crop of early fruit, peaches, plums, etc., have been killed. The Savannah (Ga.) Republican, of the 6th, says there was a heavy front there on Saturday night, and ice in some localities. It adds:

‘ From gentlemen who arrived yesterday from the interior and upper portion of the State we learn that a heavy black frost was experienced throughout that section. In this portion of the State, where the recent warm growing weather had greatly advanced vegetation, the young fruit has no doubt been destroyed, and fears are entertained that the early wheat has been much injured. In the upper portion of the State the wheat is hardly sufficiently advanced to be injured by the frost.
