The Cherokees.

IL is now known with a certainty that
the Cherokee Nation wishes formally TO
purge itself Of the Odium of treason.
Alluding 10 the presence Of John Ross in
Washington, the correspondence of the
New York Inns says that there are crit
les who comment harshly on the action
Of Ross and his fellow citizens, intimat-
ing that they have been guilty of bad
faith to both belligerents." This is
unjust. The United States is bound by
treaty stipulations to maintain in the
Cherokee country an armed force suiIi-
cicnt for its defence against all foes Inn
modiately on the commencement of the
war this force was Withdrawn. and the
Chorokces abandoned 10 the tender mer-
cios Of Albert Pike and his parti- oOlorod
sayages Moreover, the Cherokee Ma
tion contained an anti-Ross party, which
Immediately affiliated with the rebels,
and threatened Ross and his adherents-
large maiority-with absolute destruo-
tion.
What Americans would have done Ross
did; he tempOrised He exhausted all
the resources of shrowd intellect 10 de-
lay acquiesconce with tho rebel demands;
and when a seeming acquiescence was
forced upon him, it was because no relief
had come from the friends 70 whom he
remained true, and who had promised
protection and failed in its fulflment.-
On the very first advance of Union force
to the Cherokee border, a large majority
Of the nation came out with words Of
welcome and offers of service in its ranks.
Ross himself did not hesitate 10 assure
our leaders Of his loyalty and that Of his
people, though menaced at the moment
by rebel force superior in numbers 70
that whose protection he chose and im-
mediately came East 10 re-eatablish with
the Government those relations which Il
is his desire and that of his people to
perpetuate. When shall We cease 10 per-
seCute our friends and protect our ene-
mics

Sweet Potatoes.


As this is&ha season for planting
Sweet Potatoes we will give our opinions
as to the best mode Of planning and cult
vating. We have always had better sue
cess with them in hills than in ridges
The Sweet Potato hourishes best IN the
most southern parts of the temperate
zone; hence in this climate it needs all
the heat it can get, and it receives more
heat from the suns rays in hills than in
ridges. The only advantage that ridges
have over hills, is that they will retain
more moisture but as a general thing
the Sweet Potato suffers more from lack
Of warmth than lack Of moisture. When
the ground is prepared for Sweet Pota
toes, it should be dug at least two feet
deep, and L as loose and mellow as pos
sible; then make hills about three or
three and a half feet apart; and about
twelve or eighteen inches high; (be
careful not to make the hills 100 large or
high, as they will not then get sufficient
heat) If the ground is dug to a sufi
cient depth below the hill. the roots will
penetrate and receive sufficient moisture.
The long fbrous roots will reach into the
ground to as great a depth as the vines
run on the surface. The surface of the
hills should be hoed very little during the
summer-just enough to break the crust
and keep down the weeds. The weeds
should be scraped down off the hill, and
fresh dirt raked up, so as to keep the hill
in proper shape. Another thing, thought
to be important by many of The most sue
cessful Sweet Pola;o raisers, is 10 keep
the vines during the entire summer
wound into a knot on COP of the hill
This is for a two-fOld object; namely, to
let the surface of the hill be exposed to
the rays of the sun as much as possible,
and also TO prevent the vines from taking
root, and thereby retarding the growth
of the Potatoes,

The following communication from the
Territorial Treasurer will be read with
interest. It is designed as an answer &c
various inquiries on the subject Of a dis
uibu,ion of the School Fund:
Sir: In answer 10 inquiries IN regard
10 the apportionment of the Territorial
School Funds, have to say: That ID con-
sequence of The discrepancy inthe School
Law, By which the County Treasures are
not required to report the collections OF
school funds until the 5th Of May,
deemed il better to postpone the appor-
tionment until after that time, in the hope
that the reports would all be in promptly
bot having failed to get them all, ! have
apportioned The mounts levied. adding
the interest collected, as far as could be
ascerlained, the certificates Of which are
now being prepared.
In regard TO the balances due several
of the counties, of the school tax levied in
1859 / can only say that up TO this time
but S38 O3 has been paid into the Terri
iorial Treasury, and Treasures of Coun-
ties entitled 10 balances Will be notified
Of their proper proportions Of that amount,
for which they can draw on me at sight.
As fast as the balances due the fund, of
the tax of 1859, are paid into the Terrific
rial Treasury, the money will be equila-
bly, distributed to the counties entitled to
it.
The laws provides III penalty for neg
lect 10 report funds collected, and no re-
ports have as yet been made TO this Office
By any county Treasurer, of collections
exceeding the moun they were entitled
to retain in accordance with the law, ex-
cepi in the one instance of Burt county,
which promptly paid over the above
mentioned amount of S3S 03.
Whenever there are suitable penalties
provided by law for neglect of duty in
making reports and paying over funds,
and for settling up the Taxes of each
year within the year 10 which levied, then
we may hope to avoid the inconvenience
and trouble we have so far encountered
ilthe execution of rhe requirements of the
law. A. K0UNTZE,
