I Nail IW-Miinmn, . __ Goon Koahs.?A i?rontinent cit'zen of this Sintc recently remarked in nty hearing, that lie would ra'lter know that there wan 11 be made a good road from his county sent m every other country town in the States, than that the State was to be intersected by railroads sufficient to entry its products and have our roads remain as they now arc. I do not think this expression at all extravagant, ns under this condition of things the interests of the State nnd the interests of individuals would bo better served. now incsc roai are to t>o obtained ii the question for the people t? dccrmino. If under the present system, a very marked change in iU applicaiion must take place.? If under an improved system, public sentiment in Georgia must be very considerably aroused before the improvemont is begun. It requires but liitle insight and calculation to determine the importance and value of good roads. Earth rosds ??c easily affected in condition by rains and subtft y-fi Ttiav arc almost always in ruift if of clay, ana soft nnif lieary rr of sand. These conditions determine unfavorably the b-ads to be driwu over them, and very much depreciate the va'uc of teams and vehicles by unitecctsnry hca?y drafts. AFRAID OF A DIRECT TAX. Farmers are toi apt to object to n direct tax to build improved roads, while in the wear of wagons and the abuse of stock, they arc submitting to an enormous indirect lax to hnvc bad roads. This is just the nature of nil cur evils The burden of the tariff conies nt us, not directly, but covered up in the purchases of masks?forty-seven per cent. ?f t he amount paid going tc an indirect tnx, and only fifty-three per cent, being the legitimate purchasing price of tho article bought. The farmer very properly objects to a tux of ten dollars to protect a manufac- ' luring establishment in the sale of its pro- ] ducts, and, yet, he quietly submits to nn indirect tax for the very same purpose by nllowing the government to increaso the price of the manufactured article to such ' an extent as to demand more than double that amount of tax in its increased sale. So we find it with roads. The farmer objects, j violently, to paying a tax of twenty dollars to establish a system uf improved roads under the direction of the tilAte-JTfJa 7 'and tear of lenms and loss online,Ttecauso t ?f the in. This is a matter to be discussed t by organized farmers in the interest o economy. Shall we have good roads under a reduced cost or bad r?? ds and pay the heavy penalty indirecily u .'.or the losses on f the farm ? outside the matter of inonej, the satis- J fact:on in traveling over good ronds should 1 1>c some inducement to hnve them. The ? heaviest cost would be in their original constructor 11. Once properly built tlioy became, in a measure, permanent. This subject is worthy of agitation and nciion by the people. ? \V. J. Nortiikbn, in Southern Cultivator, ; Road 1 mrnovKMrnt.?Sinco the agitation , of the road question tome over ft year ago, which resulted in a llotid Congress, the discussion < f a system which would bring an improvement, in tho high ways has gradually waned. Political questions seem to bnve overshadowed nil mntcrinl matters aad along with them the public r.a t matter. But it is time now that the discussion upon i this subject was rcopeued. If nothing bet- ; ter is accomplished it will have the effect of h'illiways, and while tlie discussion is 01 av nns suuwii uiinug me noun i ongress, n temporary betterment of the roads themselves will l>e secured. Numerous plans have becu suggested, but cf tbcm n'l we think tlmt which looks to a general system of inter-county highways is the best anil will he the mos'. lasting in i*s benefits. In brief, the ecvcrul counties of of the State will have public roads running in various directions, north, cast, south and west, and meeting nt the county line similar roads from adjacent counties. These roads are to be kept up by the couutics themselves through means of a commutation tax and the use of the county convicts. From these main highways the branch roads will diverge, leading into the various neighborhoods of the county and kept tip by those who reside upon anil use them. Tho system is a simple one. The county keeps the main trunk roads in order and the brandies which converge to them Are kept in order by the residents on these roads. This would give outlets to mnrkel towns in all dircoiionB, nnd that ia what the farmers want. As a consequence a number of crops, not now cultivated to sny appreciable extent, would become profitable adjuncts of every farm : ctunly towns would build up ; tho value of lands would increase ; new iwiiiMrics wouia spring into lite ana ft | general prosperity prevail. An improvement in our public highway* is needed, end we should endeavor to aseertAin whnt system wi 1 secure it.?Southern Cultivator.

Correspondence of the Union Timks. j something about the publio roads. ~ We oelieve it is generally agreed that a revision of the present road system is a crying necessity. The system >s almost a dead letter. The highest ambition of the average road overseer is to get out a squad of hands, commence work at 9 o clock, etch armel with a^fuioralixed hoe a mattock of revolutionary fame and a soro back mule, with a set deter, minnt'on to "finish up the job by dinner time." The consequence is, poorly worked roads.. There any be e&wOptlcns to this rule, but they are few. ? Let us see some of the benefits to be derived from good roads Carriages, wagons, harness, horses and mules would last oearly double the leog'h of time they do now. We would need fewer horses to do the work no ? done by a large number. Tho saving of time in making journios would be considerable. The conveyance of larger loads would furnish no u!>cft?>atd?rahlo saving of expense. <kod roads would enhance the value of landst 7n Georgia, real estate has been kuown to incrcsso in value from 100 to 40Q T>?r a cunt where the publio roads were properly worked. ^thc Hood Congress held in At'ama, "-"8d.
