-I Ukutipvl Turner* to CXjl w. M. Sh*>no*. The Kerahaw Gazette, in I lie Court proceedings of last week, | ubtishes the following beautiful tribute, by Judge VlJrich, to the memory of the _ lamented WilliiiMi M. Shannon, who was slain in a due) with Colonel Cash. At the close of his ? charge to the grand jury the Judge said: _ "Before sending you to your room, permit me to pay feeble tribute to the memoiy of my 1 life-long friend. It makes ute very sad to miss the gonial face and the hearty welcome of the u.. good, tl e brave, the gentle Shannon. 1 knew hint from our early manhood.

That oiler dnrk < a furious thunder storm came on and fears ot ( the prisoners being lynched then vanished. A night session was held to finish the.trial. Judge Stark gave his chnrge to the jury, after which the Sheriff proceeded with the prisoners, James Diggings, Lock Mallory, Lon Thweot, Koberl Th went and James Elder, to the jail. A mob of i about two hundred pressed upon the Sheriff, took the prisoners, closed the court house and its grounds, stationed a strong picket guard nround them and hung the five negro prisoners from the second story window of the court house. The onset of the mob was from williouL and was nv nuuueii wtm tjorsTcrous, accompanied by the firing of pistols and guns into the air, as to terrify the apcclAiora in Ilia court rooms, who jumped from the windows and hastened from the scene. Murphy and Duff), two of those charged with complicity in the murder, having been released on Thursday, had returned to their old stamping ground, which is thought to have precipitated the action of the mob. The mob are after them, nnd it is believed they will be lynched not luter than to-night. The mob numbered two hundred well-armed men, who enme in front four directions ou horseback aud dispensed in the sntne manner.

On* correspondent "f" well states some palpbtc truths about our roads. W* agree with iui that the rotul law should be so changed as > make every wagon and team liable to roed ^ uty ; and it seems to us that as wagons and earns use the roads more than individuals end, onsequenlly, aro more injured by bat^toads, heir owners are more interested in having good oads and should be willing to assist in keeping ^ hem in order. We see no justice in cotdfelliog ^ , man who does not own a vehicle, horse or nule, to work the roads or pay a commutation ^ ax Tor that purpose, while his neighbors, being )ersonally exempt from road duty, from what- ^ iver causes, but whose teams travel the roads ^ iontinually, are not required, by law, to do their ^ ihare of such necessary public work. As good ^ roads are as essential to the comfort and prosperity of the people as 'good la>vs we hspe the ^ natter of changing the road ltw will be made % prominent subject for discission at the next election. As to the manner of working the roads, we * do not feel that we are capable of giving much ? reliable instruction. That must be left to the T superior skill and knowledge of our Board of | ' County Commissioners and the overseers they appoint. The Board must work according to the means at their command, and we feel confident they will do their duty fully and faithfully ! iiui, ?ner sucn a retnEWatA^p?p4ta w we ( have had, we think tho people in thoie parts of | the County where the ronds are now almost impassnble, should not depend altogether upon the work required by law, but make a common cause of it and help the Oversoers, by all turning out at some appointed time, and mend the worst parts of the roads, at least. We learn that near Mr. Mabry'sSaw Mill, on the Howell's Ferry road, wagons aro compelled to turn into the field, as the road is now impassable. As soon as plowing commences the field route will have to be abandoned and if something is not done to the road all passing will bo stopped.? We are told that there are slabs belonging to citizens around and sawdust at the mill to make the road passable. This is only one out of a number of cases lately brought to our attention in the County, and in most cases it would not cost a day's work each if every one in the neighborhood would do his fair share of the work. The fact is, everybody grumbles about the bad roads and everybody tries to shirk his honest share of duty to put them in order.^ There's where the diffioulty lies. Kverybody knowt how a r sad ought to be worked, and everybody takes precious good care to do as little as possible, except to grumble at what is or is not dene. High Prices of Property and Bents in Hew York. To us rural citizens, who think that $5,000 or $0,000 is a high price to pay for a house with enough ground around it for a garden, an or chard and a cow pasture, tho following prices for houses, with not a foot of land more than their walls cover, will appear the very extreme of extortiou ; and if we were asked to pay "$2,000 rent for two small rooms in the fifth story of a building," we would just say we couldn't and wouldn't doit?we'd rather live out of doors than pny such exorbitant rents. But in the great city of New York they not only pny such prices but get rich under tltom. A. sauare foot cny wilt readily command more money than 100 acres of ths best land in Uuiou County.? The following, tnken from a New York letter to the Meiei and Courier, will give our readers n faint idea of what it costs to do business in the great metropolis : By consulting the tax registers it has recently Iteen found that the Astors own 1,150 houses in New York of an average value of ?00,000 and a renting value of ?4,000. Therefore when the Astors decide upon increasing their rental ten per cent, it means thnt more than a thousand ot New York's well-to-do citizens will have to pay ?400 apiece more than they did last year, or an aggregate of $5,175,000 instead of $4,(>00,000 which they paid last year. As the Astors have nn income of several millions, beside thnt coming from their real estnte, and invest their surplus entirely in real estate, always buying and never selling anything, it follows that their list of dwelling and houses, business goes on increasing at the rate of about one hundred pieces of property a year. One building in Wall street mis uuugiii last nionili by John Jacob Astor for $500,000. This year the Uoelets, Stuyvesnnts mid other large holders of real estate have followed the Astors' example and have put up rents from ten to fifteen per centum, and in the busi ness part of the city much more in many instances. All our newspapers are now engaged in finding out why rents, especially down-town, should go up so rapidly. It was thought that the neighborhood of the Stock Kxchnnge and the Customhouse had seen its best days, but within the last fortnight tenants who thought so have been rudely awakened. A friend of mine who pays $2,000 a year for two small rooms on the ft ft h story of a building was informed last week that the rent would be $2,500 from the first of May, the landlord ooncluding that if brokers could pay$30.000 for seats in IbeStook Kxchnnge matters must be doing well in Wail street, in the neighborhood of the l'roduoe and Cotton Exchange it is pretty much the same story. For the Times. Satisfactorily Explained The courteous explanation bf Mr. Wallace, Clerk of the Uoard of County Commissioners, is quite satisfactory, so fkr as it gives light upon a dark subject and exculpates all parties connected with the Board from blame. I felt confident all the time there was nothing culpably wrong in the acts of those officers and caredully avoided using any language that would create a suspicion nominal llmm I ? u "" ? -- . ihuiii uuwe?er, utner Willi Mr. Wallace, when ho says, "I think no responsibility attaches to the Commissioners themselves. They know nothing of book keeping and the Clerk is a trust officer." I contend that the Commissioners are the only responsible parties ; the people elected them and look to tbem tloue for the hum at and faithful discharge of til the duties of the offioe. The Board selects its clerk but cannot shift the responsibilities of iny of its own duties on to his shoulders. This , was very recently decided by the Legislature in i n the case of a clerk purloining State Bank Itillu in .??

Let Us Have Good BMdiSkull Shoals, Feb. 20. Ms. Editor :?It is no old saying that "it is gei i ill wind that blows nobody good," and I of tall think that the exceedingly cold and rainy I * inter just past, with ils usual accompaniment ne -bad roads?will not be without ils benefit, if nil will serve as an inoentive to our people to do- ev< )te more attention aud well directed work to ws le improvement of our publlo roads. It Is to ohi e hoped that our new Board of County Com- dii lissioncrs will take tho matter in han-l next foi iimmer, and see that the roads are put in such of mdition that they will not again be impasse- to le during Ihe following Winter. I admit that di< le Commissioners can't do much, unless aided thi y the approbation and "good works" of all in- de rated ; but they can and should exercise more pa are aud judgment in the selection of Overseers. *ba be amount of work done under the direction ali f an incompetent CaplAin has little to do with he condition of a road, uuless it is for the th lorse. Our present road law may have been inj ;ood enough when very little work was done on no oads, excepi in cutting out ne* ones, but it is -k "? nntv wkan an much hftjl to be 1m lone by teams and plows. m Justice, ns well as good roads demmd that ad ifcry wagon and team shall be made liable to w! -oad duty, without the right of owners to claim W >ersonal exemption therefor. It seems unac* th :oun table why our Legislators do not make the tb necessary changes ; but when we reflect that 01 the "dear people" hare never made this subject ir x matter of consideration in theselection of candidates, we con very readily understand why it ft has been so long neglected. Just think of the good roads we would have in a few years if every t? wagon and tiani in the County were put to hauling rock (where convenient) for a few days each g year, to fill mud liol<s I know some will say t this is slow work, but, remember, it will be per" g maient. In many localities the hauling of rook i to pave clayey roads would be more economical, if not more cxpeJitious, than cutting and hauling timber for the same purpose. We are living in a go-ahead, progressive age, so let us try to keep abreast with the balance of world. If your correspondents would devote less space to picnics, weddings and gossip generally, and more to suggestions as to the best methods of working toads, making grain, cotton, ko., perhaps it would add much to the value of their communications. Let us have an interchange of views on the subject of good roads, for I think they are tho next greatest blessing to the Stock or No-fence Law, to the country at large. 9 ?? For the Times. "Fraying to Hercnles" I remember, when a little boy, reading a fable which had above it a picture of a wagon stuck in the mud, while-a fellow was ou his knees praying to Heroules (who was peeping out of the clouds above) for help, and Hercules gave the significant answer?"Put your shoulder to the wheel." Now we respectfully recommend the perusal of this fable to "Dirige Nos" and his neighbors. We protest against the freezing out of the good teacher, or the children, or the tumbling down of that old shanty and the crushing out the life of some bright boy, perhaps dcs.ined to be President. "Dirige Nos" ought to kuow that in all communities some oue takfiJji*.l?td in body's business is nobody's business," is only too true with the moderns. "Where there is a will there is always a way," and if one man is pronounced in hi? advocacy of any reform he w'ill soon find that lie will command followers. Let us have a belter school in Pinckney Township?let us be independent of School Commissioner Townsend and the school fund,and build a comiortuoie school house for Miss Mary Hughes an<l the little ones uuder Iter charge.? It will never do to put tliein iu that old tuiublc-down cabin by the way side, to be frozen, buried in its ruins or blown nwny by the winter's wind. We have seen such things done before, when there was not half the fuss made about the blessings of education as is done nowadays. It is a lamentable truth that the present common school system has bad a tendency to lower our appreciation of the value of an education, by cheapening it. Many peopie seem to think, because they pay a paltry tax, they are free from alt responsibility, and that it is the duty of the superintendent *to supply good teachers, good houses, good books and assume the whole responsibility of their education. This Education Problem is one of not very easy solution. The New England people, who claim to have inaugurated the system and brought it to perfection, seem to be findinir out il?at i>-? is a good deal of humbuggery about it. School education has not been found and never will be found, a panacea for social evils. If parents do not pay proper attention to home influences , and home training the morale of the child will , not be improved by the publio sohool, be it never j so well conducted. ( The responsibility cannot be shifted, and un- j less the patrons of the school take and keep an abiding interest in its proper management failure is inevitable.

Money may be more plenty in the country, but upon investigation we think it will be found in the hands of monied men. If they are willing to lend it at a lower mte of interest it will be because there is no safer or more profitable investment for it. The prosperity of a State is based upon individual prosperity. If the people are out of debt and pay promptly as a general thing the ffffi,rtMltyf^lfea*lYle"ii,',g iffm'Sngy'lS a poor" class, it will be the old story of the rich growing richer and the poor poorer. If au abundance of money should induce capitalists to invest their surplus in factories or such industrial enterprises as will increase the value of every article produced on the form or in the workshop, which will gi?e lucrative employment to thousands who now can hardly earn a support, which will eulintice the value of real estate and attract the attention of capitalists from abroad, then we shull realise genuine geueral prosperity ; but as long as we devote all our energies and capital to the growing of cotton, and depend upon Ahavniivnl -1 * * *? * ............. ..luuioo, nuu upun mo nesi ror our flour, our bacon, our corn, upon the North for our plows, clevises, heel-screws, nxe-helves and almost everything used 011 the farm, we will find the rich daily growing richor and the poor poorer.
