EDrrons.-It has been a long time since we have pencilled you a line and to-night we will give you a few "dots." Duties have been such that we could not get time to write, and not on ly this, but "items" were scarce. Il may be interesting to you and youi readers to know something about L-ca tion in Virginia. From the "HR.D we see that you are dreadfully taxed iE S6nth Carolina; that the people n longer willing to see imposition, hav called a convention. We sincerel hope that good may be accomplished. "Fifteen cents on the dollar" taxation The very idea is enough to drive the taxpayer to distraction. This was hul a single instance, yet if all the land i South Carolina were forced into markel would it be much better? Here it i. about eighty-five cents on the hundred dollars, and is considered pretty high at that. The assessments are all made fairly, the revenues collected honorably and disbur-sed honestly. When such is the case the taxpaiyer need not complain. We all know that the emancipation of the slaves-has robbed the South of her wealth, and that the tax on landed pro perty muit be greater, but should we not try to frame our laws, so as to les sen the expenses of the governmenti The soil of the South is just as produc tive as it was in days gone by. The same sun still shines, heaven still drops her gentle dews, and the winds still ride over the land as chariot-king. The climate, the water, and the people are still the same. Why then not make the South the great emporium of the world? It can be done; then let it be done. Some of our beloved States are rising, advancing. Why then should the mon ster skeleton, "RumN," stand in the midst of one of the most beautiful States in the Union, and stare her trembling, fearing people in the face? Why should "Amucar," with his iron heel, press so hard upon these poor, down-trodden people? This should not be, yet it is so. Reform is-needed. Revolution will not do. Reform is. the word.- Reform must be. Reform will be. Without it all will be lost. The South, the beautiful South, will become as the Sahara unless there is Reform. A word now about the "Public School System." Why is it, that South Caro lina pays so much tax for the support of Public Schools, and there is com plaint that the teachers are not paid? We are not informed as to how the sys tem is working outside of this County, but we know it is doing well here. The County Superintendent is an enter. prising man. None are employed but competent men, who are subjected to a rigid examination before a school is given them. They get their pay regu larly, and are as prompt in the dis charge of their duty. There is considerable excitement up now in the County upon the Liquor sub ject. "Refor m" is at work among the people on whiskey. Petitions are in circulation, and are being freely signed by the people, begging thte withhold ing of license. The assurance has been given by the authorities, that if it is the desire of the people that no more lic-nse shall be granted in the County. they shall be satisfied. Many "old topers" sign the petitions, thus showing that they are anxious for Reform. After Mairch, we hope that farewell will be hid to the "social glass" in old Roanoke. 11er three hast Legislators were teeto talers, and the present ineumbent is also a teetotaler. 'Tis has been an unusuf.lly mild wiu ter for Virginia. 'The 14th was like a May-day. Every bird seemed to sing its sweetest song, and all nature was alive. There has been but little snow fell, and none very deep. Only two spells ofecold enough to get ice to put up. The ice then did not get ov-er three or four inches thick. The -weather pro phet up in the mountains" says "tis will be a good crop year." We don't like to depend upon him,as he is _some times a . false prophet. Hie said we would have snow fifteen inches deep andI it did not fall With these hiastily written lines, we close. Yours very munch. ~ZULA. A writer, expatiating on the fer til izin)g properties of guiano, gives a ve'. racious account of Kansas soil in the following: "A few hours after plant ing cucumber seeds, the dirt began to fly and the vines came up like a streak, and although he started off at the top of his speed, the vines overtook and - covered himt; and on taking out his 't '- to cut the darned thing, he whiteness d1arie cucumber gone to seed alue."

It is with p:tinful sorrow that 'm make mention of the sad and suddt death of the above estimable gentlemi On the night of the 18th, while engagt in writing for the News and Couric of which he recently became an edito his clothes in some way or other toc fire, supposed to have happened throng the upsetting and explosion of a ker sene lamp, and before assistance coul be rendered, in answer to his cries f< help, he was fatally burnt. He di( the next day after much suffering. was but a short while ago that the pre of the State was ringing his praise ar congratulating the fraternity on aga having added to its number so fearle a champion of liberty; but now, instef of the smile of welcome which greet( him from all sides, tears of regret ai shed over his grave. How unce ta are human hopes and prospects! M McCaw was a native of Abbeville, ar about twenty-eight years of age. 1 had been editorially connected with t1 Czardian, the Phenix, the &mz Car linian, and at the time of his death wi on the staff of the News and Courier. He wielded a graceful, vigorous ar fearless pen; he was among the first, those who defended the right and mat war against the wrong. His meT was as great as his popularity, whit extended throughout the State, and h amiability was as endearing to b friends as his denunciation was terrib to the enemies of his State. The pre will miss hin, the people will miss hit "But we must all die, all leave ourselves! It inatters not where, when, nor how, so v die well: And ant that man that does so need lame: tation for him ?' The State Grange. The State Grange met at Columbi in Parker's Hall, on the 18th inst. T1 delegation was large, an(l the meetir is said to have been harmonious. the newspaper~ reporters did not ha' the privilege of a seat among them, course, nothing can be known of the proceedings but what they ehoose1 relate. It is stated that the subject immigration was discussed. The Grad gers refused to co-operate with the Ta. pavers' Convention in the matter of it migration, because they wished to avo the slightest danger of being charge with political tendency. 'Though ti Taxpayers' Convention plainly avow ltself non-political, yet had the Grange: associated with the Convention the en, mties of the former would have mani factured capital out of it. They have determined upon estal lishing a central bureau of imimigrtic in the city of Columbia, and contribute $1,000 for the establishn.ent of a burex ,in Charleston under the supervision < Maj. F. Melchers. The following are sonme of the officei of the State Grange: Thomas Taylor, WVorthy Master; I WV. Aiken, Secretary; A. M. Aike: Treasurer, and Dr. J. A. Barksdal< Grandt Lecturer.
