NOVEL PAvEMENr.--In the process of
laying cobble stone pavement in one of the
streets of San Francisco, a novel system
has been introduced, which, it is thought,
will lend durability to the work. The Times
says that after the cobble stones have been
properly rammed, the sand is swept off and
the surface covered with broken stone from
Telegraph Hill. Vehicles in passing over
this will reduce the stone to fine powder
aud actually McAdamizs the cobble stones.

The Rutherfordton Democrat copies our remarks
about the scarcity Of provender in some of the Wes-
tern counties, and says:
"Such is the fact far we can learn west OF
this We learn from reliable authority, that farmers
on the ridge have lost number Of cattle. The old
cs, inhabitants inform us that the price of produce
of every description is higher now than for years.
Corn has been sold as high IS cents per bushel,
which is exceedingly high for this country. There
were about twenty wagons loaded with corn, passed
through counties last week for counties cast Of this
The Ashcvlc News, Of the 7th, also says:
"The remarkable backwardness of the season is
operating very severely upon our farmers, and the
community generally. Those who have great
number Of stock to feed, are especially heavy
sufferers. The supply of provender throughout this
section generally, is about exhausted. Hundreds OF
farmers have none at all. Large numbers of cattle
have already persisted; and hundreds have been
driven to the mountains, to pick up subsistence it
they can, or to die if they must. We know great
many farmers who have not got prevender enough
to feed yearling calf. How they are to make
crop we are unable to figure out.
Men are slow to learn wisdom. Last year was a
reasonably abundant one, aud had we all husbandcd
resources, like prudent men, we should not now
be found with poor stock and empty barns"

SALE OF PLANK RoADs.-The Charlotte and Tay-
louisville Plank Road waa sold at auction last week
for $5O0-bought by the securities of the bonds of
the Company
The Western Plank Road running from Char
lotte to Lincolnton, was also sold at public
ton in this place recently for l2,0O0-bd in by
the securities.
Plank Roads don't seem to pay in this part of the
State. The reason is, in dry weather the common
roads are G. cd The plank, and consequently
the latter not used to any great extent In the
eastern part Of the State, among the sand hills,
Plank Roads are generally used at all times. One
thing that has been against Plank Roads in this
section is think, they not sufficiently gra-
ded-and further, oak plank are inferior to pine
for road purposes. Western Democrat.
The experience of our neighbors in Charlotte,
this subject. has also been verified here. Our Sal
isbury and Taylorsville road is complete failure.
1t ,con't pay! 1t is now in bad condition, and
must be sold. 1t is fr<t-rate road bed. The grade
is very easy, not exceeding three feet in hundred
at any place. We hope, when sold. it will bring
better price than the Charlotte Taylorsvile road.

This recommendation followed by recon-
mendaton OF his Excellency, Thomas Bragg which
bears date January LIST, 1856, in which he says
"Whiie therefore, the business and monetary con.
Germs of the country counsel to the exercise of
proper prudence and caution, it should not in nv
opinion prevent the prosecution of liberal system
our great central work. and its further extension east
and west as rapidly as may be consistent with the
means, the ability, and the credit of the State.''
The committee, therefore, believing it to be in &C.
cordance with the best interests of the State recon-
mend leaving it to separate companies to extend two
branches from, at, or near AshviLe, down the
French Broad, to connect with the East Tennessee
and the Virginia, and branch west to the Blue
Ridge road, or to the Tennessee line in the direction
of Chattanooga. And the committee recommend an
equal division of the surplus which may remain of
the appropriation of last session. between the com.
panes which may be authorized to construct the
branches referred to: Provided hoperey That if aid
be given to the Grecnvile and French Board Company
to construct the branches down the French Broad,
that the company be allowed to extend the five
| feet gauge as far south at Ashvie,
so as to cause the break of gauge and transhpmcnt
at that place. instead of at the Paint Rock and that
the company, a condition. before which State aid
is to be given, shall first surrender the portion of
their charter obtained at last session, from Ashve
to the South Carolina line which, in the opinion Of
the committee, is of vast importance to the State in
