Mn. GREEs:-Much has been said and
written on this subject. propose only to
add few words to what has been said by
Others; since the rejection by the people Of
Howard county, Of the proposition submit
ted by Maj. Jackson, it has been said by
some. that the people OF Howard were op
posed to rendering assistance 10 all cases
in their county capacity to works Of internal
Improvement, this inference is in my opin.
ion not sustained by facts as they are known
10 exist; large number OF those voting in
the affirmative did so with great reluctance.
on accoun: Of objections entertained to the
proposition. The proposition was simply
this, that in all cases where three6fhs Of
the supposed cost Of constructing road was
subscribed by individuals, then the County
Court was instructed 10 subscribe the bal
lance. thus opening wide door to involve
The county 10 an unlimited amount, and in
many cases for works OF no general impor-
lance to the people Of the county. am
aware that il has been argued tina! where
three, 6flhs has been subscribed by indi-
viduals there can be no danger 10 the county,
but | can well imagine many cases in which
a few individuals may have such an interest
in the construction OF a road as 10 induce
them 10 subscribe toe amount, although the
road may be Of no general utility, and in
such cases is i! reasonable or jus. that the
credit OF the county should be invoked 10
aid in the construction OF roads for few
This principle as am informed, was pre-
scented to The las. General Assembly, and
by that body very properly rejected. Every
true friend Of Internal Improvements in the
State must commend the wisdom OF the Gen.
eral Assembly in rejecting proposition SC
dangerous and impracticabIe. The friend;
OF internal improvement desire only thai
roads shall be constructed when the public
good require, and within the means Of the
public or those interested to pay.
Many friends Of internal improvement vo
Ted against, the proposition on account Of the
unlimited extent to which it might be Ger
ried, involving The county in many cases fol
the benefit Of few individuals, without re-
gard 10 the General welfare" From wha
have learned since The vote was taken on
the above proposition. am satisfied that the
people Of the county would sustain by lhei
votes tangible proposition on the subjec. o
improvement; let certain roads OF genera
importance be named as for an example
from Glasgow 10 Rochepor,, from Fayett
10 Boonville, &c., and then propose reasons
bic and specified sums in aid Of each, ane
without doubt the vote will be favorable, bu
it ia maniles. that the people Of Inc count,
are not disposed to engage blindlold in
system Of improvement which might ait
probably would be abusive, ond result II
fastening upon the people heavy debt.
The attempt made at tie last session o
the General Assembly 10 open the way 70
tie re'enactment of such scenes as has BEEF
witnessed in Illinois and other states wa
very properly rebuked by that body, an
the same principle having been submitted t
the people OF Howard has met smila
doom. o. X.

The New CosTUME.-The ". Y.
Tribune publishes a synopsis Of Mrs.
E. Cakes Smiths lecture on female ap,
parel. The article concludes as fol-
lows:
The lecturer considered a new dec.
laration of human rights 10 be greatly
needed. She rebuked the tyranny OF
Fashions whims, and made moving
appeal in behalf of the toiling and de.
graded classes, whose incessant labors
furnished the rich trsppings and fnical
adornments of luxury. She knew nc
high and no low; no Upper Ten nor
lower Ten. The time had come when
genius can command the only patent Of
nobility. The change she advocated
was not for The wealthy only, but for
the poor and the laboring thousands
She believed it would enhance their
comforts, improve their vigor and
healthlulness, ana produce suD5t anita
benefit.
Mrs. Smith advocates, accordingly
the adoption of the Turkish trowser.
with tunic, and an outer garment fit
ting closely TO the bust, with long
sleeves butloping at the wrists, and
furnished with deep pockets, leaving
the arms free and the frame unencum
bered. The new style was commended
in very graceful and winning M n
ner, and the Sufferings of the sex were
very feelingly depicted by the fair lee
,urer. The effect may be blaze Of
novelty along Broadway.

the sad news that San Francisco has
again been laid waste by fire. The fire
occurred on the 4th of May--just one
year from the date of the other great
fire. About fue hundred houses were
consumed--and about fifteen millions
of dollars worth Of property. A mum,
Der of lives were lost. The fire was
believed to be the work of some male
factor. who hoped thereby 10 relieve
some of his confederates, confined in
the prison Of that city.
The next day-5lh Of Maya fire
occurred in Stockton, which taking the
relative sizes Of the places into con-
sideration, was almost as destructive
as that in San Francisco.

LONG TIME AGO.


Near the pond so still aud lazy,
Long time ago
On the banks where grew the daisy,
Whittier than snow,
Lived bouncing buxom lassie,
Vot want so slow;
Oft she tripped the lea so grassy,
Long time ago.
Sobs and eyes chuck full of water,
Long time ago
Praise and sighs and presents taught her
My love to know;
or did my fond fancy think her
Purer than snow;
But she clipped with tinker!
Not long ago.
Oh, shaIlT nees ne'er forget
When life and hopes were new,
When. love, unmngled with regret,
Lay on my heart like dew!
l Ioflen pictured, as dreamed,
A form divnely fair;
So chaste, SO beautiful it seemed,
Not earthly, but Of air.
AT last the image of my thought
The thing my fancy drew
The creature in my visions sought,
Rose on my 'raptured view;
At once told her all my love-
Despair within me ragged;
She said my passion she approved,
But that-she was engaged!
AN ODDITY.

A friend just returned from short excus.
sion in North Carolina, informs us that the in.
coming crops of corn in the upper portiouof
Spartanburg District, and in those portions Of
the old North State which he visited, is abun.
ant-yielding not only sufficiency for home
consumption, bot some to spare to less favor.
ed regions. The price Of this indispensable
grain in that State, he thinks will greatly recede
from its present high rates and make It the in.
terest of those residing in the middle Districts
of South Carolina, whose crops have been cut
short by drought or the freshets, to seek their
supplies in that quarter. This is truly crafty.
ing intelligence, and we trust there, are other
regions that we know not of at this time, which
will contribute of their abundance to relieve
the impending scarcity. i%sS
In relation to the politics of the people Of
North Carolina, whom it was his privilege to
meet, particularly those of the First (Ciings
man's) Congressional District, he was graft.
fed to find a deepIaud abiding feeling Of resis-
tance to tho late aggressive meassurs Of Con.
gress, and cordial sympathy towards this
State. They spoke Of South Carolina in terms
Of kindness and even of admiration. Amid
the scorn and obloquy which It's attempted to-
Gust upon the chivalrous Palmetto State 10 va,
rious sections, both North and South, amid
the SCOTS and derlsion Of her despoaers and
the base ninions of power, 1t is cheering to
know there are thousands of true and loyal
sons of the "land of the sum-" who would cor.
daily bid her God speed" should she with.
draw herself from the Union, and who if force
should be used ag .inst her, would freely lavish
their treasure and pour out their ffe-blood 10
her defence. Conquer South Caroina' It would
be madness to attempt it.--Neubsrry Sentinel.
