Id the article published in the Chronicle, over the signature of “Tax Payer,” we have been assured there are only five mis'akes altered. 1. The '*bridge recently pieced over Spirit Creek” was built by tho road bauds employed by Judge UvY, uuder the super vision of Mr. Rhoocs. 2. “When the question of letting out the roads was agitated, the Judges of the In ferior Court decided adversely to letting to contractors’’— why T Because of “the high price demanded." That is true. But the assertion of “Tax Payer” that “the highest price demanded was 14,000," is untrue. We have seen the bids—-one for SIO,OOO, and the other for $12,000. S. “The Court decided to hire tho hands, overseers, and Superintendent, and appoint one of their number as Commissioner.” There are no overseers. Mr. Johnson was appointed Superintendent, at $2.50 per diem, actual working days, bo feeding himself and furnishing his own horse. 4. “Judge Levy, as Commissioner, gets $1,000.” . Not so. He is paid at the rate of SI,OOO per year for managing the public roads, attending to the relief store, and looking after the poor-house aud paupers generally—which consumes all of that gentleman’s time. 5. "The contractors consolidated their bids and agreed to furnish everything, and put the roads in good order for $3,000.’’ This has already been denied as above, aud the dental is reiterated—tho assertion of "Tax Paver" that "Judge Levy was placed in possession of the bid,” to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. "Tax Payer” is very much surprised at his own estimate : "thus we have a total for working the roads of $8,000” for a whole year. What will be his unutterable astonishment at the assuraneo that "work tng the roads” from June 6, 1866, to Jan uary 7, 1867—only six mouths—cost the county (as the records will prove) $lO,- 734.66! As the Chronicle published the article vs "Tax Payer,” of course it will be fair minded enough to give its readers at least an abstract of this rejoinder. Our Public School-.. The best interests of the public require the payment of sucli compensation to instructors ol youth as will form an induce ment to competent persons to make Teach ing a profession for life, and to qualify themselves for it in the best manner, in stead of being, as it is with many, a tem porary resort until something better turns up. But great care should be taken to secure the best Teachers which these salaries will command, instead of continu ing and increasing the pay of inferior ones—otherwise there will Ire no increase of efficiency. The common idea that almost anybody who has learned to read passably will do to teach a primary school, has been ex ploded. Other qualifications than those of a merely literary and scientific charac ter are required for the successful manage ment of a school, and especially of a school of beginners—of young children just commencing the unfoldment of their mental and moral powers. There must be not only a knowledge of what is to he taught, but an aptness to teach—a ready ability to adapt one’s self to the childish mind, so as to lead it on, step by step; and withal, a power to interest, direct, and control young minds; to secure and hold their affection and respect; to make the school room, notwitstanding its tasks and restraints, the most pleasant and attractive place the child is acquainted with. There must be predominant over all a love of children, a ready sympathy with their thoughts and wants, and an ability to take, for the time being, the parent’s place to them. As we Predicted. We find the following in the Macon Journal & Messenger —which speaks for itself: “ The Metropolitan Record. —Our people will have an opportunity, during Mr. Mul laly’s stay in Macon, of SUBSCRIBING to this staunch and sterling journal. To say any words of recommendation for it now is entirely superfluous. Its record is well known, and thoroughly appreciated. Mr. Mullaly can be found to-day at Byington’s Hotel.” doing on a Visit. The Savannah Republican , of Saturday, contains the following: The Vigilant Fire Company of Augusta some time ago, notified Captain Charles J. White, Secretary of our Savannah Fire Department, of their intention of visiting this city and participating in the l, parade of the 22d ” Captain White answered the letter, stating that the Department parade was not until the first of May. To this the Secretary of the Vigilant company returned answer that his company would not visit the city. Within a day or so Captain White received a letter from a Committee appointed at a meeting of the Augusta company, staling that his communication was perfectly satisfactory to the members of the company, and that the action of the Secretary was taken altogether on his own responsibility, and without consulting the company. The Vigilant will probably visit this city on the first of May, and be the guests of our Savannah boys. We are glad that the entente cordiale between the two depart ments is thus restored to its former footing. • (Advertisement.] Notice.

THE CONVENTIONS. GEORGIA. Atlanta, February 15.—A motion to reconsider paragraph fifth, seotion first, of tho Legislative Committee’s report, whioh was adopted yesterday, was defeated—yeas 62, nays 62—the President casting in the negative. It provides that no person hold ing offico under the United State or State Executive, Justices of the Inferior Court or of tho Peace, aud officers of the Militia, shall be eligible to the Legislature, and that no member of the Legislature shall be appointed by the Governor, or elected by the Legislature to any office ol emolument. The Finance Committee was authorised to negotiate for a loan to pay tho expenses of tho Convention. So much of a section, passed yesterday, as disfranchises persons convicted ot lar ceny, was reconsidered and stricken out. General Meade left for Florida last night. Mississippi. Jackson, Miss., February 15. —The Bill of Rights came up as the special order. First section referred to a Select Committee. As submitted, it guarantees the right of suffrage to all persons, irrespective of race, color sex, or anything else. Seven succeeding sections were adopted. They embody no new ideas. The member sent to Vicksburg to confer with Gen. Gillem in regard to taxes was in his seat to-day, but no report of his mis sion has been presented. FLORIDA. Tallahassee, February 15.—Twenty-nine delegates were in Convention to-day, large crowds of colored citizens collected in the streets to-day before the Convention met # The millitary, by request of Gov. Walker, provided a guard for the Convention to repel violence if offered. Assembled without interference, and adopted Executive and amendments to articles. Governor aud Lieutenant Governor to be elective—term four years. Remainder of State officers to be appointed by the. Governor, to be con firmed by the Senate. County Cominis sioners elected. Caucus held at noon by majority, at which one of the minority attended, who proposed measures of con ciliation—not agreed to. Two of tho minori ty joined the body in session A mass meeting of negroes held this p. m., in Capital square, addressed by colored and white speakers ol Billings’ faction. The speakers seemed to have given up the struggle for the mastery of the Convention, and propose to fry the issue at the ballot box. VIRGINIA. Richmond, February 15.— 1n Conven tion, the oyster question was tabled, and also the Georgia resolution asking Congress to loan the South $30,000,000. Nothing else of interest was done. Judge Underwood, to-day, remanded Churchwell Combs to the custody ot the military. He decided that Congress, which was the war power, has not yet declared peace; and the country being in a state of armistice, the civil courts have no right to take prisoners out of military custody. The case goes up to the Supreme Court, General Schofield issued several orders to-day about registration. One orders a new registration in Richmond March 2d ; another provides that where voters in the State have changed their residence since the last registration they may register in the district where they reside. The third is for the guidance of registration boards, and directs that where a person has held a United States office and then voted volun tarily for secession, he is disfranchised. The holding of an U. S. office is defined as having held an office to which the holder was appointed by the President. Courts of law or heads of departments those who have held county or town offices, “created for the administration of justice”—are disfranchised, but not tlieir deputies. The Executive pardon does not remove disfranchisement.. ARKANSAS. Little Rock, Feb. 15. —The Convention adjourned subject to the call of the Presi dent. NORTH CAROLINA. Raleigh, February 15.—The Conven tion is engaged on a billjof rights. Among other sections passed was one pledging tfio faith of the Stito for the payment of its public debt, other than that incurred in aid of the rebellion. Mr. Durham offered a section prohibiting marriages between whites and negroes, which was tabled, and thus verbally voted down, The use of die house for a lecture was objected to by negro and white delegates, on the ground that on a former occasion the negroes had not been allowed the priv ilege of the same floor with the whites. These are regarded as declarations in favor of social equality as well as political. SOUTII CAROLINA. Charleston, Feb. 15.—The Convention was mainly occupied to-day with the dis cussion of the resolution asking Congress to loan the State of South Carolina one million dollars for the purpose of purchas ing lands for the landless. Congressional. Washington, February lb.—Senate — No session. Home — The House resumed the consid eration of the Kentucky election case Smith, the niiuority candidate, pleaded his own case. Several others spoke in his be half. The resolution of Smith’s was de feated thirty to a hundred and one. A resolution was passod directing the Speaker to notify the Governor of Kentucky of a vacant seat. Adopted. The Grant and Hancock correspondence was presented. The Appropriation bill was resumed, and the Homo adjourned. Washington Items. Washington, February 15. —Grant’s last letter to Hancock says : “If your order removing the City Council has been exe cuted, and the new appointees are in, you need not suspend the order, as directed.’’ The removed comprise two white and seven colored members. Revenue to-day, $400,000; for the week, $3,000,000; year, $128,500,000. , A partial examination of the War office indicates that the building is weak and un safe. Anew line of steamers lias been organ ized, to run between New York and New Orleans. They will leave every Saturday. It is stated that Sherman telegraphs, re gretting his nomination, and deprecating his confirmation as Brevet General, and expressing his disinclination to assume command of the new division, with head, quarters at Washington. Cable Telegrams. New Yobk, Feb. 15—Farragut dined with Victor Emanuel. His alleged object is tho acquirement of navnl stations in the Mediterranean. Linnon, the Fenian, has been sentenced for fiftocn years. The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in Ireland continues. The British West India mail steamers are directed to cruiso, calling at St. Thomas. The French press bill failed, after a stormy debate. The French Government is pushing the National Guard organization. London, Feb. 15.—Earl Derby is very ill. Sir G. Slice, of Judge Owen’s Bench, is dead. Havana, Feb. 15.—The resolution in the Southern part of Ilayti lias become general. Gen. Salomon, present Minister to European Courts, is proclaimed Presi dent, vice Salnavc.
