JCS?- In Now York, on tho 21st. instant, Cotton was quoted at 33 i couts por pound. Gold, 36?. Freo Schools. "Wo haye been again called on by private lcttor to give some information relativo to tho Free school fund appropriated by Gen. CANUY for tho year ending October 31st, 18G8. "Wo published tho joint resolution of thc General Assembly, aud called attention to it several months ago. It requires tho accounts to bc made out in tho usual form, for services from 31st October 1807 to 31st October 1808. Thc claims so mado out shall bc cor ti Qed to by thc Schooi Commissioner of thc County, nnd approved by tho State Superintendent of Education-with thc following proviso, that all such claims shall bo presented for payment on or before thc 30th day of June, 1SG0; end provided further, that if iii any county tho amount of claims shall exceed tho sum apportioned tb such county, it shall bc paid to tho teachers prorata. From this it will bo seen that such ns have not rendered their accounts should do so at once, to thc County School Commissioner. Some teachers, wo understand, havo already so done, and there ls yet a few days of grace. Everyone should hove road and followed thc instructions in thc resolution, in tho failure of being specially i notified. . _ - County and Townships. Tho bad condition of thc public roads ,! ^throughout our County, and thc rcsposibility :* attaching to thc oUicers of tho County and Townships, whose duty it is to supervise and koop in repair tho highways and bridges, de mands some consideration. Tho Act defining .tho duties and jurisdiction of tho County Commissioners provides for tho divission of thc County into Townships. After a Town ship is erected, these Commissioners shall des ighato thc name thereof, and thc timo and place of holding tho first meeting therein. Th roo doctors shall also bo appointed whoso duty it. shall bc to preside at such meeting, opon and keep the polls &6. Thc County Com missioners aro furthermore required to roport their doings under tho above to thc General Assembly for confirmation. All those re quirements havo boon fulfilled by tho Com missioners. The officers elect in tho various Townships hnve qualified, or at least a suffi cient number to discharge their functions, and . s&itorcd upon their duties. At this stage thc direct supervision of tho Commissioners over tho roads and bridges in thc County ceases -tho same devolving on thc respective Town, ships. ??IMio Act organizing Townships, and .' to define their powers and privclcgcs, in Sec tion 42 requires thc selectmen to obtain from tho County Auditor a certified copy of thc list of persons, and taxable property in their Srospectivo Townships. Without these lists it 1 is impossiblo for the Sole tmon to execute tho provisions of thc Town law. Tho Commis sioners'hayo roccntly received a letter and a "circular" from tho Stato Auditor, in which 1iC says tho Townships cannot lovj a tax for Township purposes, tho same having been already provided in tho authority given to tho Countv Commissioners to levy a tax not cx '.?cootung tbreo mills on thc dollar for nil Coun ty purposes. This authority was given to tho "County Commissioners by tho Legislature in 'view of tho fact that when tho assessment was mado Township organizations had been per fected in but few Counties. Thus it seems that although tho Commissioners in this County bad perfected their Township organi sations, yet they must levy thc tax nnd re sumo ohargo of the County, until these or ganizations havo been perfected throughout tho Stato. Accordingly Commissioners will, Qt an opily day, appoint Ovorsccrs of Roads, and order tho working cf thc same under thc old system, w'ach is tho law, until tho new ig porfcoted and enforced. This is decidedly botter, as tho now road law is dc1" tivo and unsatisfactory, yet it is a busy senson now, and tho work, although much neodod, should bo deferred ar. long ns tho Commissioners can do so consistently with their duty. -. Tmo Bonrcos of Wealth. ' History is Philosophy tonching hy exam plo, and wo would bo recreant to our duty and intorest, woro wo to noglcet to draw from tho oxporienco of tho past, wisdom to direct tts in tho future. ' In tho failures and success; os of formor govornmonts wo soo tho pointers to wealth and truo greatness, as surely as onoh individual obtains from personal expcri ? ?icn'co, si oorreot knowlcdgo of any thing in . hts tfftlly occupation.' Wo havo previously ' J>h.?w? that political seen ri ty is an indispcnsiblc r^quipi'o f<> national find individual pro?pcr?| v, M. ????.>.,.,.? ' * I und second only lo this?, wo consider tho 'lo I vclopuiont of our manufacturing and commer cial industry. Both thcso arts woro little kuowu or practiced in nnoicnt timos. Navi gation was conlincd to lako and coasting trade, and OYQU this was pursued only so far os ne cessity,'pr tho .dcsiro for foreign luxuries, prompted. In' thoso- days, thc people be lieved thcro was just so much wealth in tho I world, aud that What ono gained in trade, nu" [ other lost. Tho Kornau looked on tho pros perity of Carthage as a drawback to tho growth and wealth of his nativo city, and henco tho strifes ?nd wars growing out of mu tual jealousy which ended iu tho destruction of Carthago. Wc hayo discovered tho radi cal error of this idea, and now regard tho prosperity of different countries, related to and dependent upon each other. Whatever affects injuriously tho interests of America, is felt as far nB civilization aud commorco aro known, per contra, whatever increases Amcrioau prosperity gives additional impetus to thc interests of every nation in any way connected with us. Whilo wc admit that ev ery people should chielly pursue that avoca tiju best adapted to their soil and climate, it is equally clear that industry should bc so di versified, as to make every people a self sup porting ono. Just as tho highest character of civil liberty and self government is found, whero justice and law arc administered local ly, to a great extent in every County, so thc highest state of national wealth and strength can only bo realized, where individual indus* try is so diversified as to mako each section independent. In thc late war, thc South possessed no manufactories or shipping, and hence her weakness. Even as n Union, indis soluble and perpetual, in wars with foreign powers one section might be separated from the other, and should possess, resources for such an emergency. Apar!, from these conside rations of policy, it has been clearly demon strated that wo can convert cotton into yarn hero cheaper than, it eau bc done at thc North. Every one is aware that the manufacturer and tho merchant, thc ono by converting it iuto cloth or yarn, thc other by giving it a market, add a new value to the raw material. At present this new value is lost to us. If wc ship our cot "ou North, its value is often quadrupled by tho process of manufacturing, and thc money originally obtained for thc whole, is returned for a new substance of one fourth thc amount. If wc had manufacto ries not only would tho value of thc raw ma terial remain among us, but also tho super, added values arising from thc manufacture and shipment of it. Thc effect of this on Southern prospcrty is incalculable. Wc want immigration. This would bring it, for tho population of a country will keep pace with thc facilities for employment aud thc abun dance of mouoy. Wc would becomo thc growers of thc great staples of thc world, its manufacturers and exporters, and mouey he plentiful. Again in increasing our popu lation, wo would iuereasc our wealth, for it is an undisputed maxim, that thc wealth of a country is in thc direct ratio of its population. If wo could double our population, wo would double thc demand for lands, and hence their value. It is another fact, that taxes uro in thc inverse ratio to wealth. In other words if wo should become twice as rich ns now, our taxes would be only half as much, or thc per cent would be reduced one half. From this wc sec, that manufactures increase thc population and wealth of a country and rcduco its taxes. Thc prosperity of thc Nortli is built upon thc lost opportunities of thc South. This should not bc and wo trust thal thc time is not far distant when the Soutl will avail itself of thc natural advantages bc stowed on it by Providence. This woulc give it power in thc Government which migh servo to build up anew thc foundations of rc publican liberty. An Improvement in Artificial Teeth. Tho workmanship of Dr. D. L.

Wc have made lids est?malo of thc two Counties together, because this is thc first lime they have paid sep?ralo taxes. If any one acquainted with this section will examine the calculation, (hey will find that while Pickcns has guttered Oconoe is crushed. Thc Roal Estate tn Oconcc is nearly thrco limes tho valuation of Pickens and Ibis loo while Oconcc is composed largely of mnmlains and poor ridges. Wo do think (his County has greater cause of complaint (han any wo have ex amined. Many farms in this County which have boon sold on credit sinco thc war al prices, which Ibo purchasers aro today willing to take for them were so roi urned and that return doubled. Wo notice in Whitewater Township two farms of this kind which brought respectively $0,600 aud 7, 200 making 13,700. These farms arc now assess ed at doublo these prices making $27,400 noarly one third of tho valuation of real Estato of that entire Township. ^Yc know that any ono wishing to inv?st in real Estate can purchase these farms at thc original assessment. Thc County Treasurer informs us that Ibo laxes for this county exceed tho amount of money returned ns on hand. Now as this money is largely in thc hands of merchants and capitalists, whore will thc farmers raino tho means to pay those op pressive laxes. Wc fear a large quantity of land will bo forced into market for taxes. 'What reme dy if any exists, is doubtful. We suggest that in cases of great hardship an appeal lo tho Slate audilor might result in somo rolicf. Wo oannot say so positively. Death of Dr. P. M. Wallace.

" To murk tho ago, shoot folly ns it Hies, And caloh tho manners living ns they riso*" DEAR Sm : Tho above lias been suggested by tho prevailing peculiarities of these times of licentiousness, arson and murder, mora depravity, political rottenness, distrust, envy and avariciousness. Tho latter of theso ap. ply to individuals, are indiosyncratio and ex tensively prevalent. If thcro exist any laws divino or positivo and instituted to regulato, dofino and presoribo tho duties of man as a moral, and social being, they aro certainly much abused, and thc divine, like thc munic ipal, is no moro regarded than if it was tho offspring of mongrclism. Has thc moral codo been so rovisod, now-modelled and amonded, is human tinturo growu so depraved, that thc vilest sins, duplicity not thc least, may bo acted without awaking thc sleeping faculties of a seared conscience ! It may bo abused and silenced but when death awakes it, it will proy intolerably upon tho guilty soul and incrcaso a thousand fold tho anguish of utter despair. Individuality is morged in that damnable parasitism, that characterizes this ago, and is sapping the foundations of civil government, moral rccfitudo and social worth. May all this bo attributed to defec tive education ! Instinctive meanness and ignoranoo propagates vice. Much of tho dis order is but thc result of tho lessons inculca ted by that miscrablo crew, that infests our country, vulgarly called "Carpet Daggers" who embarked to make a fortune out of tho ruins of thc country ; but who have oviticed that they uro fit for nothing but to cloan a stable or sweep a chimney. If thc late municipal elections in Wash* j ingtou, that pandemonium of earth, with the militia .scenes of Tcnncs.'cc re enacted in North Carolina don't widen the breach that already portends a collapse of mongrclism; then wc know of no antidote, but time for i thc cup of wickedness to bo exhausted, that the dregs may poision its vitality.
