It maybe interesting to you and your adr to know something about taxa ion in Virginia Fromi the "Hzar." we see that you are dreadfuly taxed in 'Sorg Crolina that the people ne longer wllng to see impcsition, have IeQed a vmvention. We sincerely hopetit good may be accompfished. -Fifteen cents ou the dollar" taxation! T'ha very idea is enough to drive the taxpayer to distraction. This was but a single instance, yet if all the land in Sotiolina were forced into market would it be mach better? Here it is about eghty4ve cents on the hundred 4oa d nis cnalered pretty high faifrly, the revenues colleeted.honorably and disbursed honestly. When such is thenswetapayreed not complain. We tidhow that the emancipation of e slaveharobdteothohr perty must be greater, but should we -nttr tame our laws, so as to les -sen the -expenses :of the government? %Thes5olof the Southisjustaspr~odu - ive asit was in dayt gone by. The same sun stilhines, heaven stBi drops -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 doneten let it be done. Miaetr belyed States are rising, advancing. Why then should the mon * tere skeleto, Um," stand in the -midst ofone of the most beutiful States . in, the Uniion, and stare her trembling, fearing people in the face? Why ebould "AwARoHr," with his iron heel,prs sp hard upon these poor, down-trodden peoplp? This should not be, yet it is so. Refoa~nadeed.~ Revolution will not do. Reform is the word. Beform must be. REform~ will be. Without it all wli be lost. The South, the bautiful South, wiR'become as-the Sahara unless there is Reform. A word now about the "Public School System." Why Is,it, that South Caro lna 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 circulaition, and are being freely signed by the people, begging the withhold ingeof lioensse. The assurance has been given,hy the authorities, that if it is the desire of the people that no more license 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 March, we hope that farewell will be hid to the "social glass" in old Roanoke. Her three last Legislators were teeto talers, and the present incenmbent is also a teetotaler. This has been an unusually mMwin ter for Virginia. The 14th wras ike a May-day.

It is with painful sorrow that we make mention of the sad and sudden death of theabove estimable gentlenian. On the night of the 18th, while engaged in writing for the News and Courier, of which he recently became an editor. his clothes in some way or other took fire, snpposed to have happened through the upsetting and explosion of a kero sene lamp, and before assistance could be rendered. in answer to his cries for help, he was fatally burnt. He died the next day after much suffering. It was-but a short while ago that the press of the State was ringing his praise and congratulating the fraternity on again having added to its number so fearless a champion of liberty; butnow, instead of the smile of welcome which greeted him from all sides, tears of regret are shed 'ver his grave. How fineeitain are human.hopes and prospects! Mr. McCaw was a native of Abbeville, and about twenty-eight years of age. -He had been editorially connected with the Guardian, the Plursiz, the &uth Caro linian, and at the time of his death was on the staff of the News and Courier. He wielded a graceful, vigorous and fearless pen; he was among the first of those who defended the right and niade war against the wrong. His merit was as great as his popularity, which extended throughout the State, and his amiability was as endearing to his friends as his denunciation was terrible to the enemies of his State. The. press will miss him, the people will miss him, "But we must all die, all leave ourselves! it matters not where,when, nor howl so we die well: And can that man that does so need lamen tation for him?" The State Grange. IThe State Grange met at Columbia, in Parker's Hall, on the 18th inst. The delegation was large, and the meeting is'said to have been hmrmonions. As the newspaper reporters, did not have the privilege of aseat among them, of course, niothing can be known of their procedings but what they choose to relate. It is stated that the subject of imimirationwns discussed. The Gran gers refuised to co-operate with.the Tax payers' Convention ithe matter of im migration, because they wished toavoid the sihtest daniger of being charged with political tendency. Though the Taxpayers' Conre4tion plainly avowed itself non-political, yet had the Grangers associated with the Convention the ene mies of the former would have manu factured capital out of it. They hare determined upon estab lishing a central bureau of immii'ation in the city of Columbia, and contributed $1,000 for the estabhishn-etef a bureau in Charleston under the supervision of Maj. F. Melchers. The following are some of the officers of the State Grange: Thomas Taylor, Worthy Master; D. W. Aiken, Secretary; A. M. Alken, Treasurer, and Dr. J. A. Barkcsdale, Grnd Lecturer. Brier Dt. A ride on the rail down to the capitol one day last week revealed the fact that some folks do just as has been the custom for lo, thse many years. An interesting-exhibition was afforded in the ear of a young infant. It seemed to be a new-comer-hadn't been here more than a few danys, so smaln was ii and so solferina-llke its complexion. It ap peared to haves two mamnmas, and between them the passengers (cared the extinction of its little lifes, what with brushing the down upon its tiny head, the kisses and various other motherly manipulations bestowed upon it. It bore everything like a lamb though. Having two mamnmas we feared it bad no dada, but after a lap-e, a pantalooned indi vidual apped on the scene, who filed the bill completely, by embracing one of the lades and taking the infant. It maust hare been a 6rst experience. Strange to say, aL. thogh there were only a limited number of passengers, not more thana half the cars' es paty, every seat las taken up. This is the travelers' usual cnsto'n. A t Frog Level we notied. hanging at the depot an -egflgy of a man, said to be intendecd to represent some agent there who had made himself offensive. In Colambia the streets were animated by therowds in atten-lance on the meeting of the Grange and the Tax Payers' Convention, and some business seemed doing, but gen erlly the complaint was thut the times wore dull -and an apprehension felt in regard to the ability of many to stand the financial robles. The different hotels, the Columbia, Wheel er, Central, Hleadrix, Calentt, &c., wore do. ig a thriving business, of the latter we were glad to see that our old frieud, 8. B. Calent, is making his housc quite popalar. He keeps a good table, and has good rooms, and is very attentive. A t the State House in one of the priYate ofieial rooms we saw seated at a table, twc little colored boys, so small that their chinw were on a level with the table, each spoiling some letter paper, besidles injuring the pens, with which they were making hieroglyphles, but the pleasanttest feature was that each of them had afiac eigagr in his ~month, froun which graceful cleids ot smoke circled up. This is one of the many ways in which the people's money goes, and aceount&s for the fact that the varians appropriadionas ftsJ specifie purposes arc always exhausted when demands are made upon the treasury. The death of Mr. MCaw cast a gloom oer the entire community in which he was so well known and so much esteemed. In noticing the hotels, omission was made of the Jackson Hourse. This popular place was also filled,avd the proprietor was untiring in his efforts to please. For the benpcO 01 hi,~ ruests he has at treat exDen*e Rotten at The Legislature. The proceediga-Uithis I)ody during ist week have been uninteresting and of little pulic importance. A con current resolution has passed botb houses to adjourn sine die, on the 5th of March. They are a tenacious set to be snre. but wo are glad to know that there is a prospect that in the course of time thev will - return to the -bosom of their famLilies. A resolution passed the House to appoint a committee to pre -Pare a-counter-memriantothat- of -the Taxpayers' Convention to Congress, but the Senate refused to concur. T Tax Payers' Couventio.
