MARIETTA, ----- APRIL 1. Can’t Pass.—The Lynchburg (Va.) Republi can of yesterday, has the following paragraph ; Mr. Crook, Lincoln’s Alail Agent on the Alex andria road, made his first trip up Saturday, and in passing Charlottesville wds waited on by a committee of Citizens, who informed him, in the politest manner possible, that he had better throw up his commission and retire from the public service, or he would be dealt with according to his deserts as a Black Republican, who would never be permitted to scatter his foul teaching over Virginia soil. Mr, C., think ing “discretion the better part of valor,” con- ■ sented to resign on his return to Alexandria, and he was permitted to pass. It is also stated that the said gentleman upon reach' ing this city, Saturday evening, made a castle of his mail-car, from which he was afraid to budge and come out in the city, but remained safely ensconced in it until his de parture yesterday morning, sending the mail up by a substitute. Inportant Movement.—The HeOild says that intelligence has .just been received at Washington “that commissioners are now in New Mexico, Arizona, Senora and Chihuahua, despatched hence by the independent State of Texas, to confer with the people in those Ter ritories, in relation to the present political crisis and to invite the co-operation, in the for -1 mation of the Southern Confederacy to be com j posed of such slave States as may unite them ! selves for this object. •«■*> <$ rand Jury Presentments. We, the Grand Ju.iors, sworn for the first week of March Term of Cobb Superior Court, bog leave to make the following presentments a id report: Having examined through committees ap' ' pointed from our body, all the different offices, ■ together with the public buildings, we find I that the Treasurer’s Books are properly kept and all of the payments made substantiatcd,by proper vouchers filed in his office, with the exception of about Twenty Dollars, the vouch ers for which the Treasurer, B. Green, states, have been mislaid or lost. If Mr. Green can procure the mislaid or lost vouchers, the coun ty will then be indebted to him the sum of nine teen dollars and 25 cents; and if not found or ’ procured, he will be indebted to the county the sum of one dollar and 5 cents ; and from , t] ie tabular statement of his Books, we find that the monies were all paid tojegitimate pur- ■ poses. The Books and accounts of the Ordinary’s Office aic properly kept, reflecting much crcd ,it on him as an officer ; and [he has proper ' vouchers filed for all monies paid out by him. lie has received from the Executive Depart ment, for the School Fund for 1860, the sum of $3,303, CO ; and has paid out on claims for 1860, including his commissions, -$2,343, 27 ; yet to pay to claims of 1860, S2OB, 77 ; in all, *2,552, 04. Leaving a balance of $751, 0G to be paid pro rata to the old claims outstanding against the county. The Sheriff's Office is in good order and ev erything well arranged, and his Books neatly I kept. The Office of the Clerk of the Superior Court is gcnerallv in good condition. We find, how ever, some deficiencies in the Index to some of the Books as kept by Barnwell, the former Clerk. On an examination of the Book of Fine sand Forfeit tires, we find that Barnwell,the former Clerk, has received a large amount of lines, with which lie stands charged, and i for which there is no settlement with other offi cers ; and that he has made no record of the fines imposed at the September term 1800.— What the present Clerk," D. M. Young, has been able to do in the Office, is correctly and neatly done. The Oilice of the Clerk of the Inferior Court is also in good order, and the Booksand Paper ß neatly kept, and the Finances of the county >fi his hands properly accounted for. which entitles him to much credit. On an examination of the Books of the Tax Colle tor. we find that he has made a full set tlement with the county, with the exception of ab nt tilty-i’.ine dollars and seventy-six cents, which amount he is ready to pay over. We find the Jail unsafe, but kept in good or- \ d r. and we think that a new Jail should be J built on the Court House lot. Tho old Jail 1 and lot, wo understand, can l»e sold for the i sum es Two Thousand Dollars, and this sum, together with the twenty five per cent, on the State Tax, levied last year for the purpose of, 1 bmldi: g a new Jail, and which probably raised l 1 the sum of Eleven Hundred Dollars, makes 1 the sum of Thirty-one Hundred Dollars, which 'he county can command for the building of the i Jail: and we do recommend that stops be taken in this matter, and have contracted and built a new Jail as speedy as possible. We recommend that the School Fund of this < cotinty be specially appropriated to the payment t of accounts for teaching the poor children only of the county, considering as we do, this sys tem to be better adapted to the wants of the county than the general or Common Schoo System : and, as we are happy to find that the amount received from the State each year is amply sufficient to meet all the demands for teaching the poor children, we therefore re commend a mere nominal tax for School pur poses. We find that the bridge over Alatoona Creek known as Widow Alasons bridge,and the bridge at Powder Springs are in bad condition and hope that the Inferior Court will have those bridges repaired. The road leading from Marietta to Burnt Hickory,the road from Pow der Springs to Ruffs Mill the Fayetteville road and the road from Dr. Bankstons td flic Dis trict line are all in bad condition. The ford at Olley’s creek on the road from Powder Springs to Atlanta is also in bad condition and the Canton road at the branch near Dr. Dun woody’s needs much work. The road leading by and at Israel Caussy’s has been changed from its regular course around a new ground which renders it almost impassable. And we desire that the commissioners will sec to it that the above roads are worked and putin abetter condition. The other roads and bridges in the county we find in tolerably good condition, but they might be better worked. We recommend that the Inferior court levy the followi ig per cent on the State tax for the various pecuniary necessities of the county viz: For county purposes, 40 per cent- For Jury purposes 30 “ “ • For the paupers 25 “ “ • For educational purposes 5 “ “ And we do hope that the Inferior court will use much discretion in distributing the Pauper Fund and endeavor to save as much of it as possible for the purpose of building a poor ’ house which we think is much needed in the county. In taking leave of his Honor Judge . Rice we beg leave to tender him our acknow 1 ■ edgements for the able and efficient manner in I which he has discharged the arduous duties o ' his station as well as to the Solicitor General Col. Wm. Phillips for the courtesies he has rendered this body ami for the faithful manner in which he performs his duties as an officer of the State. Having called upon his Honor ( Judge Rico during the present term for an ex. pression of his views relative to the present and future prosperity of the Confederate States , and the action of the Georgia convention; and , he having cheerfully complied, we are happy ( to say that We concur full; with the general j views of Ilis Honor, and that we appreciate his fidelity to the interests of the State and his constituents in remaining until the adjourn ment of the convention. V\ e request that these our preset tments be published. A. \\ . Holcombe, Foreman. Samuel Burdine. Wm. B. Austin, ’ George Roberts, John Mehafiey, Burrell kemp, Merriwcther P. Kiser, Daniel 11.
