The line of notion U judiciously chosen. A general mating oTcitiions should be arranged and "dnubtleae jwill ha according to the aatmleUoaa adopted. We are boeomlng More and mora hopeful that, b.r proper effort, and flroni the fact of oar location on the lino from Qaiuearille to Charlotte (hat the road willeome to QrconrilU, and pat our bcautlfal and riling City u~4 delightful region on the great thoroughfare. But erery body muit work ta thU end tbronghout the eonnty. We are satisfied that not otaly tlii" bat the adjoining eounttee and portions o North Carolina would be more benefitted to bare the road strike G recnvillc than to go any other routo. The eon sequence would be to build up here such a market, and commercial and mannractnrlng Interest and to attract a large population that would greatly benefit the whole people in every adjacent part of the country. No other point on the route between Gainesville and'Charlotte can equal Greenville in its potentially of growth and expansion under tho influence of the Air-Line, and hence the Company Itself would be advantaged by tbe Greenville route. A flourishing city on any railroad is an important matter. Death of Jeremiah Cap Cleveland. The death of this young gentleman so high. It beloved and esteemed by bis family and friends, occurred at thereeidenee of his fatherin-law, J. Harvrt Cr.KVKi.Axn, Esquire, in this County, on the 20lb*of May last. lie ** a grand-son of Capt. Jf.kemt An Ci.fvei.anp? who was early and long identified with Green, villc, and in his day was one of tho wisest and most respected of her citiccns ; his father, Jessk Ci.KVEi.Axn, was distinguished as a man of talents and social and popular manners, and for several years represented the State of Georgia in the Congress of tho United States. Young Jsrkm:ah seemed to have inherited tbe boat qualities of bead and heart of his immediate ancestors, but enjoyed superior advantages of education, and Lis own fine talents ii..... :l_l.l. i_ l.i.i? seholgtic accomplishment*. lie was exceedingly kind, just and amiable in his nature. Such qualities, evinced in every sphere, and especially in the family circle, leaves it with his youthful ond devoted wife and little son, bereaved indeed. It is scarcely necessary to state that a young man of his spirit and character made a good soldier in tho gallant army of the South, ho was an early volunteer in her cause. The Allen Bohool. The school house for the colored population in au about Greenville, which has received tho above name, lias been completed. Thorc was, according to previous notice, a large gathering of all ages and sexes from six years old and upwnrd, in this City on Saturday last, for the purpose o( witnessing the dedication ceremonies. Tho processior. of colored children and also a number of ndulta, was formed at tho lower part of Main Street and marched through it with flags and banners, headed by tho colored band of music?to the school house, where addresses were delivered by J. K. Jii.i.sox, Esq., State Superintendent of Education, Rev. J. M. Rrxiox, Wilsox Cook, J. D. lirnr. and Attorney General R. Tomlis Bos. Tbe proceedings wore closed by an address from Rev. Mr. Whittt, pastor of the Colored Methodist Church. This address was principally devoted to temperance. The speakers were all introduced by Mr. J. M. Abies. The proceedings throughout were very orderly and the behavior of the colored peoplo very creditable to them. Tho children in ttie procession were neatly dressed, and all seemed to have been well taken care of. We were not present to hear tho addresses, but learn that political questions were not introduced by tho speakers, and that no attempts were mado to excite bad feelings. If our colored people could be always thus Instrncted on the subject of edncation and good condnct generally, it wonld l>o well for them and better for the white people. Their improvement and proper behavior in every respect should be promoted and encouraged by all good ci'izens, for the . interest and real welfare of everybody in the laud. Original Poetry. We publish with pleasure the poetry of " C Pe Flori," offered to our columns, by "II. F. P.," who hr.d shown most excellent taste and critical judgment in appreciating the genius of the fair writer. It Is to be hoped that she will continue to woo the Muses, who have evidently bestowed on her rare gi'ts of fancy and a felici'y and power of expression which characteriae the true poet. The result may be that she shall attain a fame in the divine art that may be comparable lo the renown of her great ancestor in statesmanship and political philosophy. In hit sphere, America may not in ages nfforJ a worthy successor.

In tho first plate, the tld law lo its p-e?ent shape tiai not applicable to the new order of things. Formerly the prim i pal portion of the property of the State was in sieves, and the faw req-tlrsd annual twelve day* of their labor, if neersMry, from every malt* slave of proper age ; alio twelve days' labor of every free white man hi the State, whether a tax-payer or Dot,-? It cao readily he perceived that if this law was bow in foil force that It woukl force the iioB"ta*payer and the poor to do just the same amount of work on the road as the properly holder, which would be manliest injustice and nev er required or intended by the old law . for it ia easily seen that I lis preeident established by this law was to make the property holders do much the largest por. tioo of the work on streets and roidi} an 5 1 think 1 shall be ablo to show that the tax payer was liable for more tax under this law than he is under the present. If a mag owned ten thousand dollttra In slave property, a reasonable supposition would be that he Imd live hands linble for road duty; granting now that those hand# are owned by a man over the age that the law requirea to work the road, or by some old widow lady, as so much lias been Mid about old men and old widow ladies being taxed to work the road. Under the old law thore parties were liable for those five bands (or sixty days' labor on the road which nt any time would be wof'h at leaej' thirty dollars. Although not levied ne a direct tsx in money, yet indirectly it amounted to the rnmo thing Under the present law, these parties sre just liable for eighteen dollars, a email amount over hal' what tliey wore liable for under the former law. But this Is not all that those parties were liable for under the obi law; they also had to pay a tax on all their elav-s and other propei ty to he expended in keep-ng | up btiriges and such other mechanical work as the commissioner must see fit to have done on the made. Although it n??j seem strange to some, it U nevertheless trne. Uml there ?re some very wise persons wlio have never found out until very recently that nged men end widow Indies were tnxed to work the roads; end that the property holdfci* tin ler the former lawn of the Slate were linble f ir more than three font the of the work done on the made. At o'her oppressive feature I wish to notice in the old law. Ineoi pnrated towns and cili"8 were permitted to 1. vv a special lax in '.leu of the twelve da\? 1mI or. This tux varied from two to six dollar*. A man now own lug one thi usatid dollars' worth of property is lia'de for or e dollar and eighty cents, while under the foi nier law n man not worth one d<>t)ar liatde tt? pay fiom two to . ollats to the ineorporat d en itioriliea or be imprisoned for failure ? These are some of lite al.nsrs of the former law cotnplain< d uf and sought to lie remedied hy the present law ; nnd If it l<? t-ue that llio pn.petty hol-ieis under tbe old regime weie compelled to do much the largest portion of woik on ihe road, why should they he released now f If a man is worth I an thousand dollars now in merchandize, or land and stock, is lie not just as able to pay the anme amount of tax as lie was when lie was worth ten thousand dol lara in slave property 1 .Under all the cir enmntaneea, I think it is evidently pi tin that some modification in the old law was n-?ce?s?ry, in order that rxaet juM-ee should be done to the rich ?nd poor. The ' present law it based on lite principle of an ad vnlorem taxation for all the expenses o) the Government, the justice and equity o| which is generally admitted. Although we can by no means claim for it perfection, yet we do claim that it la more just in its provision and better adapted to the new or der of things than Iho old law would be ? The general objection that is urged against the present law is that it forces no one hit'the lax payers to work Ilia road. This i* true only in eases of pressing emergency-?The rosd snrveyor may, on six lm r%' notice, order out all hands to reuiova any obstruction or rupair a break in the road.? All non-taxpayers may, under the law, enjoy the benefit of the roads without being compelled to contribute nny thing to keep up the road. Now if it Is true that because a man owns no Inxabie properly that the | roada at e of no benefit to him ; then th? present law ia all right, but I presume that no sane man would for a moment assum< any such position; but, on the contrary that good roads are a great benefit to all, rich and poor, and that the mere capital a man has invested in business the morn ben I eflt he will detive fr?m the road. Bu j none are so poor aa to be able to say tha I tha roads are of no benefit to them, there fore I hold that equity sod justice wouh demand that every man ehould work ant i keep up the road, juat In proportion a* h i is hanefltlad ?.y iL VN hile I hold that th old law waa very oppreaeiva to the poo I man, and especially in towoa and allies, da manding as it did twelve days' labor, i would have entirely exempted the pioper ty from all the burthen of the road, think that justice wou'd demand that a 1 taxpayers and non-taxpayer* should also b , required to do a reasonable amount of la a bor on tne road ; and Ihia omission ia th ' present law is the principal imperfeetlo j aomplalned of Two or three days' labo > on the road wonld he oppressive to no mat and won'd not give to ineorporat?d lowr the privilege of levying an exhorbltant ts on a poor man, and forcing him to do jn as moeh road duty aa the richest men I the incorporation.

My decision is thet under the present assessment the townships cannot levy * tax for township purpos-e the same having already been provided in the authority given to the county commis* sioners to levy a tax not exceeding three mitts on the dollar for all county purposes This authority was given so (lis county commissioners by the Legislature, in view of the fact that when the aas?asment was made, township organisations had been per. feete*l In hut few cotintlvs ; and it was not intended that after the county eommiseion era had levied a tax for all county purposes the townships should levy a lex for similar purposes. Such a course would indeed prove burdensome to the people; in this opinion the Attorney-Genera) coincides.?
