Put in, ns soon as the season will allow, nn a- bu ml a nt supply of Corn, Irish nnd Sweet , Potatoes, Spring Oats, early Cow Peas, Millet, Dourit and common Corn (broad Cast anJ in the drill, for, fodder,) Lucerne, in lrill, &c, &c. The Chinese Sugar Cane Bhoukl also be planted and still further tes ted as a syrup plant. For particulars of making-, &c , see pamphlets sent by mail ngents. In preparing1 for yaux regular Corn crop, plow or subsoil your land 10 to 12 inches deep (15 inches would be far belter) man ure heavily and plantjsarly. Do not lose n moment after the danger of late frost is over. As soon as you have finished the.p'ant ing of Com and other provisions crops, prepure for Cotton, respecting wfcich are various articles in present and former num bers. -; -v l - ' Su-ett Potato should now be bedded out and provision ma le for an abundant supply of ''draws." No crop cultivated in the South is more worthy of attention than the sweet Potato. It is one of the most valuable crops for man or beast, andino planter should fail to have full "banks" at the selling in of winter, even if he does not make a "big crop" of Cotton. The Hayli (whit) Yams the Yellow Yarns, and the lied "Negro Killers" (so called) are all fine nnd productive varieties. 7mA Potatoes should be planted in drills 3 feel apart and covered with a thick lay er of pine struw or leaves, ns heretofore di rected. ' Chinese Sugar Cane should also be sown plentifully during the present and ihe next two months, for green and dried forage. Plant the Chinese Sogar Cane seed far away from all plants of the Millet family, such as Doura Corn, &c. Also, sow Lu cerne or, "Chillian Clover. We prefer the drill system land deep and rich for these crops. THE KITCHEN GARDEN. If you have over-wintered Cabbage plants, set them out now. Sow more Cab bage seed to head in the summer. Flat Dutch is the best. Thin out Turnips, as soon as they have four leaves; leaving- them at a distance of six inches apart ; and sow more Turnip. seed; Early White Dutch and Red Topped Dutch are the best for spring use. If you did not sow Onion seed (bluck) last month, do it at once ; they will come into use in the latter part of the summer, when all that were raised from setts or buttons are gone. If you did sow Black Onion seed in September, it can now be transplanted. Sow Carrots, Beets, ("Ex tra fc.arly " is the nnest; 1'arsnvpt, oaisyy, Lettuce, Radishes, Thyme, Parsley and Rape (for early greens.) Plant at! in rows 15 inches apart. Sow, also, a little spot with Celery and protect them from the sun.- When Cherry ' trees are in bloom plant Snap Deans; when Apple trees are in flower, plant Squashes (Scallop Squash is the best) in hills 3 feet apart ; also, Cu cumbers and Mushtnellons 6 feet 'apart j the Nutmeg and Citron Melons are very fine and the earliest ; Deechwood Melon is very superior,' but a little later. All vines are greatly benefitted by guano or pp Itry man ure At the same time, also, l$ow Okra, Tomatoes and Egg Plants. Hite up Rhu barb. Asparagus will now begin to sprout; don't suffer nny to run up o seed, but cut all down. Cabbages, which have been s t out, and are starting to grow, should, once a week have a watering of liquid manure a shovelful of chicken manure, dissolved in 10 gallons of water, will be found an .excellent fertilizer for them. , All vegetables, that already have a start, should have a good boeing by the latter pait of this month. . Plant a full crop of English Peas, as heretofore directed. ' . THE ORCHARD AND FRUIT GARDEN. If you bare not finished pruning your orchard, do it at once, omitting only . such trees as are growing too luxuriantly lobt at Such ought not to be pruned until the leaves are pretty . well sprouted.' -By this method, such trees will get checked and go to bearing ; should, however, this lata pruning not be ' sufficient, give them an other severe pruning in the middle of July; that will prove satisfactory. : As soon as the trees are beginning to bloom, hang up a number of wide-mouthed bottles, half-filled with molassrs-water, in your trees you will catch a great number of insects and thus prevent them from do ing injury to your f.uit. THE FLOWER GARDEN. Propagate Dahlias as soon as you can see the sprouts or buds; with a sharp knife split the stem right through, leaving & piece of the stem and one . or two buds to each piece, plant them so deep as to be covered with at least 4 inches of soil. Tie up all your flowering plants to stakes ; the wood of the China tree, when splintered out, furnished the best and most durable slakes where Cypress cannot be hud. Jf annual flower-seed has not been sown yet, it should be done at once. Recollect, that fine seeds will only need to be covered slightly. If covered deeply, they wtll not sprout. , ' We add the month of April, being war anted in doing so by the backwardness of the season. Ed. Com. From the (Fayettevituy A". Carolinian. SCENE IN OUR SANCTUM. - Editor busy writing: printers clamorous for copy : nearly lime to go to press. Enter friend of the editor. "Good even ing old fel f How do you do T Tearin up things generally, eh ! That's right, give it to em 1" Editor With an awful imprecation in his heart a smile upon his face and a tongue as oily as a Hay street fop's head '-Good evening I Glad to see you. . Take a seal and look over the . papers until 1 finish this short article." Friend sits d )wn accidentally on editor's hat ; apologises and wonders why the d 1 people will put their hats on benches in stead of under the table where they'll be out of the way. Editor blandly remarks that it is some whut marvellous. "Friend takes a chair and a quid of tobac co and begins to spit at a favorite exchange which happens to be on the floor. Editor groans in spirit and politely re quests friend not to spit on the floor. Friend. -"Excuse me : I did'nt mean to on the floor I was trying to hit that old paper yonder. 'Spose it's no account." Editor intimates that it is one of his file papers and one of his most valuable ex changes. Friend : "Why that's only the ' Wlh mington Journal and besides that it comes every day. And what's it lnyin about loose on the floor for any how? You editors never take care of anything; and you in particular, ex cu e an old friend, are the most careless cuss I ever saw-. - Editor's ideas pretty considerably mixed up' by this lime, and article begins to read slipshod. Concludes to try it down stairs, and affectionately invites friend to make himself at home until he returns. ; ' Friend cheerfully agrees to do so, and kindly promises to write an article for him in his absence. Editor goes down, sits on a box with a book on his knee and scribble away at a 2. 40 rate for about two minutes and forty seconds. . . . . Enter chap from the country : "Evenin to you all I Is the Calcenian out ? If it is I wants to borry a coppy." Editor: "No sir. it will not be issued till to-morrow." ' ! Rustic : "Sorry for that. Why don't it come out sooner t Whar's the editor f" Editor : You'll find him up stairs writ ing an article." Rustic goes up and a conversation is in distinctly heard for a minute or two, when friend's voice is heard distinctly requesting country chap to go to the d I. Rustic comes down rather hurriedly, and remark ing, "editor's sorter snappish this evenin," incontinently slopes. Editor kmiles (editor is quite good look ing when he smiles, and anybody to hear hi in laugh would take' him to be quite a peaceable sort of individual) and proceeds with article. Begins to warm with Jiis sub ject nnd wax eloquent. Enter respectable oil gent with a troub led look - Mr. Editor, if you are not busy I would like to speak to yob upon an im portant subject, privately." v Editor assures him that he has nothing whatever to do, and was just thinking a- bout taking a nap. They walk out together, and old gent placing his hand upon editor's shoulder and looking him fixedly in (he eye, loquitur i "Do yoo think; is it your candid opi'iioc, aside from all party prejudices, that it is right, proper, just and constitutional for the town commissioners to levy an extra fax upon dogs?"';'""" ' Editor, who had been expecting to hear the announcement of the loss of all old penis' worldly possessions, and who was revolving in bis mind a suitable expression of condolence, is somewhat "coftumrmixed;" but recovering his1 presence of mind, ans wers wita indignant emphasis-, "No sir, I do not." "That isr enough'! answers old gent as as he walks abstractedly away. - Editor returns-to his office and resumes pen and article! - Has just gotten the thread of thought unwound again, when he hears a mighty uproar up stairs, and the voice of friend rising high above he did : -"I say; why the dence don't you keep your ink in an inkstand 2" V. a Here's this infernal ink jusr of yours turn ed over'ahd spilt out, and this article of mine one big blot, and I'm slpatter dashed all over, and nobody'll ever steal this shirt I've got on, and . the d 1' to pay gener ally I" .. ' Editor roshes op' stairs, and finds to bis dismay that bis books, papers and- Mas. are ruined, so far as a quart bottle of Harrison's blackest can 'accomplish that end; and, in a paroxysm of moral forgelfulness, be ad dresses friend in a ryle and parlance re markably different from that found in 'the Pilgrim's Progress and Baxter's Saint's Rest. Friend leaves with a face black with India-nation and ink, and editor walks down stairs in a state of mind bordering upon that usually ascribed to moon-stnek- en individuals Finds article unfinished; form not made up; printers gone to supper, and office devil waiting to dun bim for two dollars to buy a pair of shoes. Tells devil to wait til to morrow. Locks up his office, and wishing that he bad'nt a friend in the world, and that printing offices had iron doors and barred windowsproceeds gloomily home wards, before reaching which destination be is dunned by seven different individuals whom he repels by seven fierce and mnlig nant scowlsand the aggregate amount of whose claims upon his purse is just three dollars and seventy-five cents. Any other editor save him who presides with meek and gentle grace over the col umns of the North Carolinian, and whose humility and forbearance have passed into a proverb, would undoubtedly Jiaveshoi his friend, set fire to his office and swallow ed a spoonful of strychnine: LORD NAPIER'S INTERVIEW WITH THE PRES IDENT. Washington, March 16. Lord Na pier, the new British minister, was at one o'clock to-day introduced to the President by General Cass, and 'pre sented his credentials as minister from the Court of St. James? Lord Napier, in addressing the Pres ident as the envoy of Her Britannic Majesty, said he was instructed to con vey to him the earnest desire entertain ed by the Q,ueen to preserve and ad vance, on all occasions, the interesTTrVd the happfTiess of England and JBierly ca, which are so deeply involved in tneit amicable intercourse, and to manifested him the hearty good wishes which her Majesty cherishes for the prosperity Jbf the United States. He ventured tocdn a a a J gratuiate tne .President on his accession to the hiehest elective dignity in tins countryana tne world, saying a . a as Ml you enjoy it in health, peace anc ev increasing honor, ana may the peri ot your government be distinguished all the features of public wellaie." ' Permit me, he continued, " to express to you my gratification in being select ed to renew and avow at Washington those relations of international friendship which have been so ably sustained by your representative in London. This important and grateful duty, which might hare been committed to others more capable of doing justice to the sentiments of benevolence which ani mates my sovereign, her ministers and every order of her subjects, but no one could approach your excellency with greater respect for your person and your office, or a warmer good will to the American people." . He then delivered the credential letter. which her Majesty had been graciously pleased to intrust to his care. 1 he President, . in reply, offered to Lord Napier a hearty welcome as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipoten tiary of her Britannic Majesty to the United States. " Your sovereign," he said, "I am conviuced, could not have selected a more acceptable representa tive than yourself to renew those rela tions of international friendship which 1 trust may never hereafter be interrupt ed. 1 he earnest and gracious desire expressed by her Majestry to preserve and advance upon all occasion the in terests and happiness of England and America, and the hearty good wishes which her Majesty cherishes for the pros perity of the United States, are cordial ly reciprocated on my part, and will elecit an enthusiastic response from the hearts of the American people. No in dependent powers nave ever been bound together by national interests of such magnitude as those which unite Great Britain and the United States. Indeed the ", prosperity of the one is necessarilv tuvolverl in that of the other ! but mu tual interests however vast, without mu tual regard, are not always sufficient to preserve friendship between nations. How bappyr then, am I to receive the assurance that your sovereign, her min ister and eVety order of her subjects are animated by sentiments of benevolence towards the government and people of the united wtates. " During my administration it shall be my agreeable duty a well as my earnest desire to increase the friendship and mutual goKjf will now so happily subsisting between the two countries; and to render these sentiments strong and enduring, ; -with ; such sincere s and heartfelt disposition mi both sides should difficulties ever arise between the two governrnentsj these will be easily, ad justed in a spirit of mutual forbearance and concession. I return your Lord ship ray thanks for your kind expres sions and wishes in reference to myself, and feel conndent that in onr future in tercourse we shall proceed harmoniously and ' satisfactorily in the discharge of our respective d.u lies. ; Lord Napier was in court dress and attracted the cariosity of the many visi tors at the White House,- who desfced to witness the ceremony, but it being of a private character1 they-were excluded from the audience chamber." .

FORGERY CASES. j Bcffai-o, March 16th. A'man na med McKnight, of this city, was ar rested this evening on a charge of for gery. Some $12,000 of the forged pa per has come to light. Bangor, March 10. A man named Emory was arrested here to-day. He had, it is alleged, obtained $650 fiom the Eastern Bank on a forged check, and was subsequently recognized in the street and taken into custody. IMPORTANT CONVENTION li has been proposed to hold a conven tion representing the various railroads ly ing between the Mississippi valley and the port of Norfolk, for the purpose of appoint ing a commission to proceed to England, and endeavor to prevail upon the proprie tors of the new monster steamship, now building on the Thames, to bring her, upon her first transatlantic trip, to the harbor of Norfolk. The 18ffT of April, or therea bouts, has been named as the time of hold ing the convention, and, Lynchburg, ' Va., as the place. MORE RAT POISON. The whole family of John Scott, of Scott's Station, near Cynthiana, Ky., were poison ed on Sunday last, it is supposed, by arse nic brought to the house to destroy rats, but which by some means got into the corn meal. Mr. Scott died, but it is thought the rest of the family will recover. ! KANSAS AFFAIRS. St. Louis, March 17. The Democrat publishes Gov. Geary's statement relative to the recent affairs in Kansas. The cause which induces his (the Governor's) resig nation is the failure of the President to ful fill the pledges be made at the time of his appointment to support him with the army and militia, and witn the treasury u nec essary. But, instead of receiving aid he has paid $12 000 out of hia own pocket to support the administration. He has been refused the aid of the military under the most urgent circumstances, and thwarted by the judiciary of the Territory in every possible manner. The Governor 6tates that there were fifty persons under oath from the day he enter ed the country till he left to assassinate him, provided his official career did not meet their approbation. The Governor regrets the step he is obliged to take, and says he feels confident, had the promised assis tance been rendered him, he could have administered the affairs of the Territory in a manner acceptable to the honest settlers of bo'.h sides. In relation to the outrages committed by the pro-slavery men, he says that half has not been told, and he pro nounccs the murder of Buffara by Hays the most cold-blooded and atrocious affair he ever witnessed.
