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. Means of the 926th District G. M. and C. E. Solomon,- S. E. Tucker and M. A. 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 ring om of bis ‘murdering fit*,’ "he had We recommend that G.

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.
