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 Mrnnlnr S|#rli(on' raw.

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.

Messrs. Johnson and Mott, who pass ed through this city Thursday night j en mutt for Columbus, after a sojourn j of several weeks in Washington, re- j port that an order has positively been : issued by the War Department for the removal of negro troops from the intcri- .. or of the State.

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. - - On rtir Kichl Trnrk Hon.

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. The Irintrr’a Commandments Thou (especially the ladies) shalt love the printer, for he liveth you muchly.

James Sinclair and Colonel William L. McKay, of Fay etteville. The “fighting” parson was aroused at some action of the late Fay etteville Presbytery concerning him not agreeable to his pride, which was published in Col. McKay’s paper, the Presbyterian, lie attacked the Colo nel with a cane and pistol. The lats ter disarmed him, and —the parson caught a tartar. When the Earl of llradford was 1 brought before Chancellor Lough | borough to be examined upon a charge of lunacy which had been brought 1 against him, he was asked : “How many legs has a sheep 7” “Does your lordship mean a live or dead sheep ?” 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.

THE PALMA CORTSTI, 015 C ASTOR It F AX, 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.
