OuR DEPENDENCE on TIE NoRTH.-ln re-
cent letter. Mr.. Nathan Appleton, of Boston,
thus speaks Of the influence of the New York
banks. Will the South continue thus depend,
ent on New York, when the means Of indepen-
Gence are within hcr grasp? Let us strike
while the iron is hot for direct trade with Eu'
rope-commercial independence will be the
great result:
"New York is the great central banking
power. She sets the key nrte to the whole
country. IF she expands, the whole country
expands. If she contracts, it is felt to the re
motest extrcmities. 1t is q tremendous power;
that of increasing or diminishing the circulating
medium Of the whole country. 1t Is a deep
responsibility, and demands sound discretion
and much wisdom in its regulation. Cnfortll-
nately, there appears to be no unity of action,
no controlling principle, in the management OF
this power. 1t is divided between fifty live
banks, each acting its own separate part, under
the influence of different opinions and dlfe ent
interests. Banks ere public Institutions; they
are founded for the public good; and the duty
of consulting the good of the community in the
use of their great power. is Us sacred as that ol
providing for their own safety. There is appa-
rently no individual Of sufficient influence to
bring this Heterogeneous mass to unity OF ac-
ton in crisis like the present, rs was Albert
Gallatin, whilst he lived"

DoTnE BANKS LOSE THEIR CHARTERS ?-Ihere
seems (says the Rising ,Sun) to be an impress
sion on the minds of many, that the banks in
this State forfeit their charters when they cease
to pay on; specie. This is not correct, as shown
by the following act, passed December. lS.lO, to
which the banks are subject. Second section OF
which reads as follows:
"Evcry bank which shall suspend the payment
Of current coin for its notes. or which shall de-
clare determination TO suspend or refuse pay
ment of its notes, according to their legal obll-
cation, in current coin, shall become liable to
pay to the State of South Carolina, at the expi-
ration of every month after such suspension or
declaration, q sum of money, at the rate of five
per cent, per annum, upon the whole amount OF
its notes, which shall have been issued i'll circu-
lation at the commencement Of the said month,
and shall continue to pay at the same rae at the
end of every month, until the said bank shall re-
woke its declaration, and shall lawfully redeem

EyCUiNGE...C CONFIDENCE.

The uncertainty and extraordinary vacillatons
of the price of exchange in New York would
indicate either the inability of that market to
forward the crops by the purchase OF the ex-
change drawn on them, or continuation OF
panic and distrust of European SteadineSs, proba-
bly both. Reduced as is the rate OF exchange
in the United States, to the. great loss OF the
producer, still everywhere there is the evidence
that it is sold anu that produce is going forward.
The work Of relief then goes ON, however at
present limited and gradual. ANY progress
whatever must receive accelerati1n from the III
creased means and confidence whicliit produces.
1t must however take months to achieve any
positive results, and the American people must
consent to move slowly y great shock has
been given both to monetary and commercial
relations. Great apprehension Of the danger Of
expansion efter revision, produced by con-
traction. and ending in universal distrust, the
doubt cf safety in commercial operations, tie
sacrifice Of immense amounts OF merchandise,
the boarding OF specie, the fall of produce and
the Drccarious condition of monetary affairs IN
Europe, cannot be overcome or diSentansied IN
any summary mode. On the other hand, the
restoration of confidence, Tie chief element G rette,
would 60 far, aided by the amount OF specie IN
Amercl, equal to what it usually has, to iaclll-
tate the operations tending to relief. This de-
sired confidence could not ex5ibtitsell in more
available and effective forms, than by re-dc-
post in the Banks Of the specie drawn from
them and the un!lcSitating purchase, at falr
rates, of produce bills. Both may safely be
trusted; both would be decisive in securing re-
lief; and both the best basis OF Il desirable bank
expansion.
we are not of those who, on the one hand,
apprehcndcd an almost universal ruin, or ol
those who, on the other, anticipate prompt re-
turn of easy and bright times. Webclieve that
the United States can and will do much to bring
their crops into the market OF the world ut lair
prices and that Europe can lend prompt and
steady aid in consulnmating this end.
The importers Of New York are no doubt hard
pressed to obtain the means tomake their neces,
sary remittance to Europe, and to obtain the
gold whereby to take goods ont OF bond, ol
which Il large quantity must be locked up in tic
Government warehouses. Hence the low price
Of exchange, Of which they are the principal
BUYERS. The legal difficulties which elnbarrass
the New York Banks and the hesitation they
mist feel in lazarding AMI operations, must also
check their entering the exchange market Cr-
til European capitalists, therefore, enter thepra-
duce and exchange market, which now furnishes
an unboln,lcl icid of sure profit to them, but
little stcadincss may be expected.
Tic embarrassment Of exchange is practical
illustration of how desirable it is that tho COM
mcrcial and financial relations the South with
Europe should be direct, and released from de-
pcndency Oh Northern emrorIunSS.. TX:

Operations for April.

NCRsERY.-StOcks that were budded last
fall should now be examined, and where the
buds are good, head back the stocks to within
few inches of the bud. BY leaving a few
inches, the bud will make a better growth. and
it answers the good purpose to tie the shoot to,
should it be inclined to strike off at an angle
Of 45 DegS.
Plant apple, pear, plumb, cherry and ounce
stocks, for budding in the fall Ifpeach pitts
were laid down in the fall they will not re,
quire to be cracked, bnt will be found to be
starting finely in the seed bed, from which
they may be planted into the nursery rows.
Plant the cuttings Of the Anglers and French
ounce for stocks, for pears also cuttings of
grapes, currants, gOoSeberries, &c.
ORCHARD.-Continue pruning, grating and
cleansing the trees. If there are any spaces
to be filed, place them in good trees of choice
varieties. Examine the roots of peach trees,
if any worms are under the bark, take them
out, cover the wounds with earth and let them
heal
GARDEN.-In looking over the beds of as
paragus and rhubarb be careful not to inure
the crown of the plants Sow early peas as
soon as the ground is sufficiently settled
If cabbage tomato and other plants in the
hot-bed are disposed to crop up tall and slen-
der, transplant them into other beds that they
may become stout, strong and healthy when
moved into the open air.
Prune the roots and other shrubbery put
the grapes in order on trelliscs.

Get in Root Crops,


We write under the settled conviction that
the profits of the general farmer may be more
rapidly increased under a iudcious cultivation
Of the various roots, and in any other way !;
that more than double the value per acre may
be obtained from them than from hay crops,
and more even, than from the small grains OF
Indian corn.
The cultivators of England have long under
stood this secret, and have became prosperous
under its teachings No man, probably from
this country, ever gave the subject so much at
tention as did Mr. Webster, during his mission
in England And few men, in our Judgment,
have done their country 50 signal service az
he did by his Investigations of this subject, and
by PRONUNCIATION of the facts which he learned.
They awakened attention, and the fruits Of
his suggestions are now manifest all through
New England, at least.
OF the turnip there is a great variety, and
their cultivation is too we'll understood to need
any explanation of ours For winter and spring
use, many persons prefer not to put in their
root crops until after the third week in June.
We would prefer a little earlier date.
We are gratified to notice that the cultiva-
ton of the sugar beet is beginning to enlist the
attention of farmers Those who have made
a. vi IT, Spcdh vi IL Ill vi
1t is not only very productive, but one Of the
best roots that can bc fed to mch COWS and
young cattle-causing rich flow of milk III
the former, and great yigor, sprghtlincss and
hardihood in the latter. There is probably no
climate in the world more admirably adapted
to the cultivation of the sugar beet than that
of New England. In no case which has fallen
under our observation, have those who have
planted it failed of securing a paying crop,
while in most cases 1T has yielded a greater
profit than any other product of the farm.
1t should be planted in drills on good deep,
and rather warm soil, well stimulated with
rich invigorating manure, and should be care
fully hoed and kept clear of weeds. The soil
between the rows, and between the roots in
the rows should be kept light, in order to
facilitate the absorption Of those fertilizing a
gents from the atmosphere upon which in a We
~ great measure, the perfect development
and maturity of the system are found to de-
pend.
A mechanic having COW, and but a small
piece of ground from which derive the means
of sustaining her, cannot do much better than
to plant portion or the whole of it to sugar
beets. He will in this way secure more salu-
tary aliment for his animal than in any other
way, and at less expense. From eight TO thIf-
teen hundred bushels have been taken from
an acre. and in several cases the crop has
amounted to fifteen hundred. The roots at
tanned large size, and are very nutriciOnS
and wholesome. Swine fatten rapidly on boil
ed beets, and the pork made on this food is
said to be more solid than that made Oh pota-
toes or any other root. We would advise eve.
ry one this season to put in Il small plot OF
this vegetable, and give it a trial.-Netc Eng

Early Peas are among the first things to be
sown, and this should be done as soon as the
frost is out of the ground Some writer's re-
commend raising pea plants in boxes in hot beds,
and transplant them, but we never found this
to pay for the trouble The best way is to
select the warmest, (rieSt soil and the most
sheltered position in the garden, and SOW iD
drills (running east and west if possible) two
inches deep. Two rows, twenty feet long, will
take about one pint of seed, and will be
enough of one variety for the first sowing
AS soon as sown, place a wide board on edge
on the north side of each row, inclined over
the rows at a slight angle, and support at
each end with sticks. This will afford good
shelter, and the ground will become quite
warm, havi0g the full benefit of the sun while
sheltered from the wind.
These boards may be taken away when the
plants are two or three inches high and the
earth drawn to the plants. This drawing of
the plants should be repeated several times,
as it Is great protection preventing injury
from the wind. When eight or ten inches
high they should be staked, and of course the
length of the stakes or brush depends upon
the variety sown, some sorts growing only two
or three feet high, and Others five or six feet
The stakes should be placed on both sides of
the rows, slanting nwards so that the tops will
meet, and so firmly set in the ground that
they will not blow over-Hoorc's Rural Ne,c
