The most wonderful mineral discov
ery yet made is that of immense beds
of mineral wax, in Southern Utah and
Arizona. This remarkable find, in the
opinion of some competent experts, is
of greater importace than was that of
petroleum in Pensylvania. Professor
Henry Wurtz was, we believe, the
first to identify thik peculiar substance
as ziefriskisite, or the Romanian min
eral wax. It differs from parafiue,
which name3ias sometimes been given
to it, by-being insoluble in ether, and
in other respects. In European coun
tries this curious mineral is found in
small quantities; but, as is usual in
America, we have here found it in beds
said to be much as twenty feet in
thickness and extending over many
square mites in area.
The road to civilization has its troub
les and dangers, as well as the rough
path of barbarism. We are informed
that a civil wmr is likely soon to break
opt in the Cherokee nation between
the progressive and non progressive
parties. ' One of these parties imagines
that the civilization of the whites is
superior to that of the Indians, and
wants to introduce it more fully. The
other party considers the treachery and
cruelty of the whites to the Nez P er-
ees; ' Ch eyeames; Piegans, and
wants to exclude white men amd their
civilization. The result wiil probably
be the interference of the Federal Gov
ernment ia some form to regulate and
reconstruct the territory, quickly fol
lowed by the Yankees stealing all the
lands df the Indians.-
The Colnmbns Times, which keeps
posted on Alabama affairs, says that the
Legislature of that State, now in ses
sion, has reduced the number of judi
cal circuits in the State, -from twelve
to eight, -and made them -the same as
the Congressional districts, with the
exception of two or three counties.
Biit Georgia, with but one more Con
gressional district than Alabama, main
tains twenty jndicai circuits. The pel-
pie will have to taKe this thing in hand
if they desire any retrenchment. Bere
is a field for great saving, but our Leg
islature lately in session refused to
ent down the number even to sixteen.’
first week of the regular November terra
1878, have mode'a thorough examina
tion of the pnblic property, records and
nuances of the county and heartily en
dorse their action-and recommendations
in relation thereto.
We find that tue road from_Ftat creek
.bridge across Ross’s hill in the 926th
District G. M. and the road leading
from Hog-Crawl to Betklerson in the
492nd District M. are in a very bid
condition; that 6uih condition arises
from neglect of duty upon the part of
the roud 'ttommiesiohers in' liud for said
District. We therefore recommend
that the clerk of this court do issue it)
terms, of the law a summons in writing,
din'ct'eiTto said commissioners, to wit.
John Laidler, Wm.Grace aud M. H.

Edwards of the 492ud District G. M.,
commanding them to be and. appear at
the next term of this court to be liekl
in and for this county to answer the ac
cusation we have made.
We find the causeway on ths north,
side of the bridge across Big Indian
creek, ou the road from Perry to
Hiiyucsville is ini an unsafe and danger
ous condition; and the road commis
sioners being unable to repair aud keep
the same in proper order, with the reg
ular road hands, we recommend and
urge'that our-county, commissioners of
roads and Revenue employ Messrs Clark
& Mnrshbnrne tc put it iu a passable
condition -with the ehaiu gang. The
crossing at Thurman's mill being in a
Very bad conditibn, and dangerous to
pass over. We call the attention of the
county commissioners to the same and
request them or the proper authorities
to take immediate sta; a und-r the law to
have the same properly and aftenrely
fixed.
The bridge crossing Lime Stone creek
is iu our opinion too short, aud in times
of btgh water causing great inconve
nience in crossing, We therefore re.
commend that -the bridge be leBgthea
bas been expected for some time. Zu’-
luland lies on the east coast of Africa,
hundreds of miles from Cape Colony.
It is jnst north of-the British settle'-
ment Natal, which it separates from thti
Portuguese settlement of Delagoa Bay
It is inhabited by a distinct race of - na
tives. who have as little to do Rith the
frontier Kaffirs (who were subdued
last Julv after a prolonged border war
fare) as Prussians have with Austri
ans. Last, summer, after the end of
the suppression of the Galkea rising
on the frontier, the British forces
were transferred to Natal and the
Transvaal, where Cetywayo, the Zulu
King, had for some time been threat
ening hostilities, and (where one of
his vassals was actually defying the
British rule in arms. Lord Chelmsford
i found find reinforcements would Li
needed, and his call upon the home
government was responded to late in
the year. In November the British
ultimatum was sent to Cetywayo, de
manded the immediate disbandment
and disarmament of the Zulu army,:
the cession of St. Lticia’ Bav (long
known to have been oiie-of 4 the inlets'
for arms -and ammunition), ‘and' the
stationing of a British Resident in Zti-
lnlaud. Tho demands were refusedby
Cetywayo, who at once assembled 8,00(3
men on the border to resist the Brit
ish. He was given uutii January 11 to
make a full iui«I unconditional submis
sion, but he still refused the demands,
aud the British forces began to advance.
There has been con «l table d. ubt foi a
long time whether the. British : troops
were-strong enough to control the sav
ages, aud the news this morning shows
that the doubts were ouly too well
founded. Cetawayo is described as a
savage of a rather unique sort.. While
nctuated by desires of the most sav
age nature, he is Capable of express
ing feeling which would do -credit to
persons professing feeling which
would do credit to persons professing
greater civilization, Last summer, du

We again take occasion to mention
the fact that the compensation 'now al
luded to Jurors in this county is inade
quate. Many of them are brought from
their homes at the busiest season of the
year, and the loss entailed upon them
by their absence from their business in
terests is, in many cases immeasurable.
And while wo deem these,sacriiio'-s sec-,
essary and proper to be made for the
publio good, and in aid of the ad in is is-
tration of Justice, aud a duty that every
good citizen owes;to bis country, otili
we think it not an unreasonable de
mand that they should receive for their
services at least a sufficiency to meet
their actual expeuces - while in the dis
charge of this public -duty. Wo there
fore recommend and earnestly urge' our
representatives in the general assembly
to secure the passage ot au act inereas-
ing the pay of Jurors in this county to
two Dollars (2,00) per diem.
