A CARD.
TANARUS Urorg i
A portion of the People. of Georgia,
in Districts overrun by both armies
during the late war, arc MfciM for
lack of food, and unless *peedly relieve
ed mu-t suffer more—perhaps starve.
Th'ir more fortunate and benevolent,
neighbors have and ne much far them,
but can do little more. The evidence
of these fact- is full an l startling. The
Legisla'ure have appropriated money ;
fjr their relief, bat the money is not in
the Treasury. They have authorized
the borrowing of money, upon most
satisfactory security, but it will require
time to have the Bonds and Mortgages,
prepared ti<l executed. And while
this time runs against the sufferers, their
■offerings will be terribly intensified
I am ready and anxious to act, but
lack the means. In the name ot pa*
triotism and humanity I appeal to you
to furnish them. It will be a good
pecuniary investment, and something
more, a commendable charity. Bring
forward the money on loan, tor 90, or
120 days, or six months or five, or thir
ty years, a-r you prefer, with seven pa
cent, inti re.-t. You will do well, and
the bungry will do better.
All editors friendly to the object,
will [lease give the above a few in-cr
tions, aud briefly direct attention to
it. ((SABLES .J . IKN Kl> S

tors have had n informal eon sere one
relative to allowing the sitting Senator ,
from New Jersey, Mr. Stockton, to .
hold his scat. Several of the radicals |
have stated that they should not regard
the report of the committee binding
and intended to vote him out at all j
hazards. It is of tho highest impor- [
fancc to them t reduce the vote in
the Senate so as to secure two- thirds of

ed Stewart of Neva-’.a, and one other ,
Senator, and by turning but Stockton, j
they will have things their own way. j

The New York Herald says, a very
important decision on the subject of
the value of United States Treasury
Notes, making them equal in every re
pect, in legal contemplation, to similar
denominations in gold, has just been
rendered by the General Term of the
Superior Court. The decision goes fur*
fiber than any other yet made in this
State, former adjudication merely go- •
ing the length of establishing that con 1
tracts made before the passage of the
act of 1862, and providing for pay
ment in ihe then legal currency of the
country, could be satisfied by payment I
in United States Treasury Notes. The
agreement in this ease was to freight
money in gold or silver dolhrs on de.
livery of cargo in New York. The
plaintiffs. John Wilson k Cos., owners :
of the Britsh ship Atlanta, in January,
1863, chartered the vessel to Gillan
ders, Arbuthnot & Cos., of Calcutta,
and the cargo was consigned to Kdwin
1). Morgan and others of this city. The
vessel arrived here in June and the
freight money, amounting to thirty-two
thousand six hundred and thirty dol
lars. was tendered in Treasury Notes.
The offer was refused, and payment in
specie was demanded. This was refus
ed, and the controversy carried to the
Superior Court. After the usual pre
liminaries the case was brought before
the General Term, and the decision,
written by Judge Monell, lays down
the law to be that all debts can be sa
tisfied by a tender of payment in Uni
ted States Treasury Notes.

The omission of the former is probably
a fault of the telegram ; the latter is lett

THE CIYII. RIGHTS R 11.1.1
The clear headed, discriminating Presi
dent of the United States has again exer
cised his constitutional prerogative, in
vetoing a bill which originated in the Sen
ate, and which has been denominated the
Civil Rights Bill. •
As sonic of our readers may not be fully
ac juainted with the’ provisions of that bill,
we will devote a few words to its conside
ration.
As first proposed it was an outrageous
instrument of oppression, but it was sub- j
sequently, considerably modified, the radi
cals fearing the President would not en- ,
dorse its terms. The Sequel has shown
! that they were correct in their surmises, I
but were prevented by their fanatical pre- j
juiices, from shaving it dowu to lit the ;
humane policy of our President.
The principal objections set forth in the
Veto message are two ; Ist, that the bill
proposes to interfere between capital and ■
labor, and attempts to settle questions of
political economy through the agency of
numerous officials, unconstitutionally ap
pointed and maintained : and 2nd, that it
infringas upon the inherent rights of the
States, and has a centralizing tendency.
The President sustains both these objec
tions by clear and forcible argument, in
dicative both of the astute logician, and
the sagacious statesman.
It is plain that the “ numerous officials ”
1 mentioned by the President would find it
to their interest to widen, instead of close
the breach which has already been formed
between the two races, through the influ
ences brought to bear upon us by invidious,
! sectional legislation ; and even were these
“ officials ” disposed to fill in the chasm,
their natural diversity of action would ma
terially hinder a work, which would much
sooner be accomplished without them.
The tendency to centralization mentioned
- by the President ought by all means to be
avoided, as the spark that would fire the
magazine of popular feeling, and result in
the overthrow of a Republican Union of
Sovereign States.
It is true that most of the objects pro
posed to be attained by this bill have been
eftVctel by the action of our State Legis
latures, but there is nil the difference in
the world between laws made for Georgia,
by Georgia, and laws made for her domes
tic government by the U. S Congress.
>EW HISTORICAL. W ORKS.
Headley has completed a history of the
“great Rebellion,” and agents have met
with the “most astounding success” in
the sale thereof, says a Northern paper.
Edw. A. Pollard has finished a history
of the same phenomenon, which he calls
by another name. We hope soon to see
both these works, and we would advise all
our people to supply themselves with a
copy of each, and an additional copy of
every subsequent work of like kind that
may he published.
Let us co'lect all such productions, and
keep them for our children to read, that
posterity may know, not only the truth in
regard to our great civil calamity, but that
the whole truth may be impressed upon
their minds, to remain until the calming,
cooling influence of years shall have sooth
ed the rankling feelings now working in
the breasts of all, and some competent per
son shall extract plain facts from thechaotic
mass of present-day ’productions, and sha'l
write for the guidance of all futurity, a
history that will give one side no more,
and the other no less than justice.
CnoLERA in Key West. —The
Chicago Journal is informed through
a private letter from an army officer,
dated New Orleans, March 13th, that
the cholera has broken out at Key
West. Assistant Surgeon Taylor and
sixteen men were down with it. A
strict quarantine is established below
New Orleans, and vessels from Ha--
vana and Key West are subjected to
21 days quarantine
The New York E*re on Ihe Tel©
New York. March 23.—The Her
ald savs his (the President’s) objec
tions on ccnsritutional grounds exhib
it this bill (civil Rights bill) as involv
ing the most flagrant devices overrid
ing the reserved rights of the States
| in their Legislatures and judicial tri- (
’ bunals ever attempted in Congress.—
We had not supposed this bib. in a
new shape, and a soit of reproduction
of that old fugitive slave law, but, un
der the searching analysis of Andrew
Johnson, it appears a hundred times
worse than the rejected freedman’s
bureau experiment, and nothing less
than a bill of unconstitutional abomi
nations from beginning to end. The
objections submitted against the first
section of the bill, however, are those
which mark the impassable barrier be
tween him and the ruling Radicals of
Congress. The veto is in fact an em
phatic declaration of war against the ;
Radicals and their reconstruction from
root to branch. Henceforward there
can be no party endowments of the ‘
policy of Congress coupled with pro..
Sessions of adhesion to the policy of
the Administration.
The Tribune says : Let us thank Mr.
Johnson tbat his veto is so sweeping,
lie might have done it more cunning
-I v, but lie has chosen to let us know
that it is not this particular bill that
has invoked his opposition, but that
any measure whereby Congress shall
attempt to protect Southern Blacks
against white abuse and oppression
must encounter his determined, deadly
opposition..
In referring to the veto message, the
Times says: But we venture to think
that few State papers have ever been
given to the world that will so tlior- (
oughly-compel the attention of think
ing men, of whatever creed, or kin
dred, or patty. The analysis of the |
details, however, is of so keen aid
searching a character, and the logic is
so irresistible, that we should hope
even the strongest advocates of the
measure will see how vastly important
it is that the constitutional power of
the veto should exist, and how impor
tant also in a higher sense, it is that a
constitutional power should be intrust
ed to a President endowed with judg
ment, discretion and most uncommon
courage.
The U’orld says : The veto is a con
clusive demonstration of what was ap .
parent before, that the conflict between
the President and Congress admits of
neither compromise nor reconciliation,
and that the controversy can be decid,
ed only by an appeal to their common
superiors, the sovereign people!
A Thousand Churches ISnrned.
• A correspondent of the New Orleans
Christian Advocate writes: —1 have
been making inquiries all over the
South respecting the destruction of
churches during the late war. And”
while I am not prepared to speak with
anything like exactness from statisti
cal obsevatron, vet from all 1 can learn
I am led to believe that not less than
from one thousand to ftrelve hundred
chnrrhes were destroyed by the Chris
tian army of the most religious peo
ple in the world. These buildings
cost the Southern Chmches of al de
nominations not less than five millions
of dollars. The Baptists and Metho
dists, suffered most; the Presbyterians
next, and the Catholics the least. A
full report ought to bo obtained and
recorded tn letters of brass as a perpet
ual memento of the affection and love
which have been cherished for us for
forty years, and is still felt towards
“erring brethren ?” AY hole districts of
country where formerly many church
es stood, the evidences of at least some
civilization, if not “genuine Christian •
ity,” are now without a shingle to cov
er the sabbath worshippers. Northern
ecclesiastics boasted to the Administra.-
tion of the numbers the church has
sent to the army- Every company,
regiment and brigade, swelling with
church commnnicants, “ making a
league with death, and a covenant with
hell” to exterminate all ‘ bogus Chris
tianity,’ and adopting as a primary mea
sure the destruction of church edifices.
Is not that a sight to make angels—of
a certain order - glad ? Now would it
not look like doing a right thing for
the great Northwest to raise half a
million of dollars, and send “down
South” to pay for the rebuilding some
of these ruined churches ? Five mil
lions of dollars would hardly restore
them.

Fight Between a Parson and an

a street encounter at Luuiberion, be
tween the Rev. James Sinclair and
Colonel William L. McKay, of Fay

aroused at some action of the late Fay

not agreeable to his pride, which was
published in Col. McKay’s paper, the

When the Earl of llradford was

inquired the Earl. “Is it not the
same thing 7’’ asked the Chancellor.
“No my Lord,” returned the Earl.
“There is much difference. A live
sheep may have tour legs—a dead one
only two. There are but two legs of
1 mutton ; the forelegs are shoulders.
Hw Dutch Gap sol it* Xarof.
An Englishman and a Dutchman,
so thestory runs, undertook, for a wa
ger, to row thair respective skiffs from
a place seven miles below the Gap to a
point above it. The man who arrived
fir.-t at the place of destination was to
be considered the champion and to re
ceive the stakes. Both started. The
Englishman pulled out vigorously,
while the Dutchman, with true tutonic
imperturbability, suffered his oppo
nent to so ahead without an apparent ef
fort to keep up with him.
While the Englishman began to
round the bluff', after passing the gap,
the Dutchman was “hull down” and
almost out of sight of his antagonist,
who was a “sure thing of it - ”
When the Dutchman reached the gap
he ran his skiff on shore, raised it on
his shoulders and made his way with
nil pebble dispatch across the few hun
dred feet of intervening space. When
the Englisman arrived at the point at
which the rape was to terminate, what
was his astonishment to find his oppo.
nent in hi? skiff, calmly awaiting his
nppearenee, having relieved the wear,
iness of his stay by smoking, witli
Dutch leisure, three or f< or pipes of
tobacco.
Whether the Dutchman succeeded
by this trick in winning hi wagnr i
not known, but he gave a name to the
<rap, and was more successful as a nav
isjator . han the noted and corked up
hero of New Orleans, the terror of wo
men and children, at whose approach
the very silver spoons trembled on the
sideboard.

Is estimated to yield about double the value of
Cotton and can be grown without fencing,
Hirectiosi* far it* C? a Itivitlioti :
THE cultivation of the Castor Beau is at
trading considerable attention. lai some parts
of the country it is an annual and herbaceous
plant, but in thetorrid zone it becomes a tree,
stands several years, and a ladder is required
to obtain the seeds. It grows in this climate
front five to eighteen feet high. The leading
shoots should be pinched oil when seven leet
high to make th e plants fruit largely, and to
avoid inconvenience ill gathering the crop. —
The seeds or beans as they are called, are
produced in husks or pods on spikes or pedun
cles, about eighteen inches in length. These
are cut from the plant when the pod begins to
turn brown. The seed, when ripe, pop or
burst from the bed quite a distance. They
must, therefore, be gathered in time to burst
from the pod, in a yard surrounded by a fence,
or under a shed, to prevent loss.
Select ion of Soil. —Almost any soil will an
swer for the cultivation of the Castor Bean. —
When it can be had a sandy loam is prefera
ble. The soil should be dry. Wet, heavy
soil* are not adapted to its successful cult ure.
One important fact in connection with the
culture of castor beans, if*, that it has a most
fertilizing effect on the soil.
Preparation of the Soil. —One thorough
plowing and then harrowing the ground with
.a good heavy harrow, will be sufficient pre
paration..
Planting the Seed. —The ground is marked
off in rows, Jive feet apart each way, except
that between every tenth row, a distance ot
about eight feet between the rows is left one
way,-to admit a horse and wagon, or sled to
pass and take the beans when gathered. If
not planted before May Ist, hot water, some
what below the boiling point, should be poured
over tho seels, and they should remain m this
.water twenty-Tour hours before being planted.
The temperature of the water will, ot course
he gradually reduced to the temperature of the
atmosphere. Applying the hot water once
will be sufficient. ’ It planted without this
preparation they are longer in germinating,
many of them not making their appearance
for three or four weeks. With this prepara
ration they will soon germinate and come up
regularly . Some planters put in each hill one
hulf those which have hot water poured over
them, and one half those which have not. so
that if the first that come up be destroyed; a
stand may be obtained from the others, which
will come up a week or two later. Good,
sound, plump seed should be selected for plant
ing. About five to six pounds to an acre will
suffice. Three seeds should be dropped in
each hill. The seed should be planted after
all danger of frost is over, say from April Ist
to May Ist. The plants are about as easily
destroyed as cotton, and hence care should be
taken to observe the above directions.
After Culture.-- The cultivation of the plant
consists in destroying the weeds aud grass,
.and keeping the soil open and mellow. 1 hese
objects are chiefly attained by using the horse
and cultivator, or small plo .v, working be
tween the rows both wavs. It is also neces
sary to work between the plants with hoes,
going over them once, cutting the weeds away
from the plants that cannot be readied with
the plow or cultivator and reducing the num
ber to one plant in a hill. After the plant is
two feet high it is capable of taking care of
itself, and grows rapidly. It will be seen that j
the cultivation is as simple as that of Indian j
corn, and decidedly easier and simpler than ,
cotton. I
Harvesting the Crop —A bout the middle of j
July the bean begins to ripen. As before sta- i
ted, they ar produced in pods or husks, or |
spikes, about eighteen inches long. As soon
as a few pods begin to turn brown and open
they should be gathered. This is done by
catting off the entire spike. Each plant has a
number of these, and they are produced and
ripen in succession till frost, or all is gathered.
Only those exhibiting brown seed should be
cut. These spikes are then thrown into a wa
gon or on a sled passing through the broad
rows and hauled away.
After the beans begin to ripen, the field
should be gone over about every ten days un
til frost, or till they stop producing. In Lot j
dry weather, they ripen more rapidly than in
cool, wet weather. The work is all light.—
After being gathered, the beans are taken to
a dry yard, (sav one hundred feet square,)
bioping to the south, so as to get as much beat
as possible from the sun to ripen the beansaud
cause them to burst rrom the husk. 1 hey pop
or fly out to the distance of many feet. The
spikes are occasionally turned over and ex
posed to-the sail, until aft the seeds have left
the husks, when the old spikes are taken
away and anew supply added. The same
process is gone through with the entire crop
The beans are swept up and gathered; and
before being sent to market, are run through
a common fanning mill with suitable riddles,
freeing them from all extraneous matter. —
When ruin the spikes are thrown
into a shed, which should adjoin the yard, or
into a heap, and covered with straw or plank.
Yield , OfC. —This will mainly depend upon
the culture bestowed upon the crop, the sea
sons, the quality and adaptation of the land,
and the care exercised in gathering and ripen
ng the seed.
From about two thousand to forty-four hun
dred pounds is the probable yield of clean
j seed per acre.
The very simple process of cultivation ena
-1 Lies one good liand and mute to attend to from
: thirty to forty acres, and the consequent yield
j at Three Cents per pound, (the rate 1 contract
’ for in advance), would realize from S6O to
$l3O per acre, and to each hand from about
$2,000 to $4,400. No other crop can exhibit
equal inducements.
1 am ready to loan a superior kind of culti
vated seed to be returned from the crop, and
contract for the balance, also to provide bags
to deliver the seed in, at Savannah, and pay
cash on delivery Persons wishing seed should
call, or send their orders as soon as possible.

The absence of fences need not deter or pre
vent the cultivation of this crop, as no live
stock or vermin are known to touch it. ami its
rapid growth will enable the planter to realize
