To THE CrrlzrSs OF AucusrA County.

wish to call your attention to subject which
/ deem of great importance to the county, and
that is, our road system. 1t must he admitted on
all hands, that our system of keeping our roads
in repair, is wretched one. The surveyor noti-
fes the hands to work tho roads, which is done in
very superficial manner, owing to the limited
time they have to do it in. little dirt is thrown
into gully or mud hole, which is removed by
the first washing rain. propose, that meeting
shall be held at the Courthouse, on the 9TH Mon
day in the present month, and petition the Lcgs-
Iature to empower the County Courts to appoint
one or more persons, with suitable implements,
and sufficient number Of hands, to keep in re-
pair. all the public roads, with the exception Of
tho incorporated roads. To levy tax upon
each head to defray the expenses, l will venture
to assert, that we will have better roads at far
less expense than under the present system. Let
me ask, who would not rather pay dollar year,
than have their hands called from their farms, and
other occupations, in busy season. hope the
subject will meet with that attention which it
merits. A CITIZEN.

the whole of which time we have most assiduous-
" laboured to make it a valuable and interesting
journal By strict attention TO business by print
ing good and handsome paper; and by evincing
a determination to bring the price of printing to
proper standard, our success has been fully equal
20 our highest expectations.
Without overstepping the bounds of modesty,
think we may truly say that this paper has al
ways been the Gost interesting one published in
the county; and nov, in addition 10 its former at
fractions, it possesses the advantage of having al
she public advertisements and notices both of this
county and of Pike, to publish. We have lately
turned our attention more particularly than here
tofere 80 the editorial department, and our labours
in that line have already won for the Jeersonian,
she praise of citizens, and eliofed the highest
commentators from our brethren of the Press.
We shall continue from week TO week TO bestow
the same attention to the editorial columns. AS
we have done all this, then, to improve our paper,
and to secure the appreciation of our patrons, we
hope they will testify their appreciation of our ef
forts please them, by punetual payments of their
accounts. Printers cannot live upon wind like

"a few days since, large ship "a slaver) sail
ed from this port under American colors, for the
African coast An English frigate, which was
laying in port, knew her destination, and deter
mined to capture her. They met a few miles out
side the harbor the frigate sent her boat to board
the American ship the officer in command was
told to keep off or they would fire into him; the
boat kept on, when the Yankee let loose gun
upon him. The commander of the John Bull fri
gate then hailed that he would fire into HIM if he
did mot heave to. Sire and be i'd" was the
reply, accompanied by broadside from the we'll
trained guns of the Yankee, which carried away
tile fore and main yards of the frigate. The fel-
low crowded all sail and was out of the range Of
the frigate's guns before he well knew what was
the matter with him. saw the frigate afterwards;
her main was down, and they were in the act of
sending down the fore, which could see had been
much damaged The Englishman declares he
will have the ship if he loses his own vessel in the
undertaking"

by jailers in securing heavy doors and gates;
