Never cause your enquiries where you are shown a paper granting n detail or exemption, but know distinctly whether the reason for grant ing it was true and continues to exist.

A mere obitu ary uotice can do no justice to a career or a life such as his. But he lias left ns forever and well may we say “the last of the Romdns is gone” and we shall not look upon his like again.

We understand that a much lower rate of valu ation, in the giving in of taxes for this year, lias prevailed in the counties of Stewart anc! Monroe, than in the other counties of the State. So mar ked is the difference between these counties and the others, that, we learn, the ct^iptroller has made a special representation of it to the Govern or. What remedy he has recommended we do not know, not having seeu his report; but we do not donbt that the discrepancy, has arisen from some misuuderstandiuc? or misinterpretation of the law as to valuation. The people of those counties only need know theirduty to the State, and they will pet form it as cheerfully afld as faithfully as those of any other counties. We cau speak with confi dence of the people of Stewart, who have never faltered in tiie discharge of any patriotic duty, and who would scorn to seek a partial avoidance of their obligations to the State by paying but lit tle over half the tax paid by the people of the neighboring counties and those of the State gen erally on the same description of property. f Eaifuirtr. • AiTm in istrafoj-'s Sa/c.
