How Should Jurymen be Paid. j Judge Strozier, at a recent session of | Rainbrhlge Superior Court, in his charge ! to the Grand Jury, used the following : ! “The taxes of the State are raised for J revenue, and the idea of taxing the peo- S pie for jury purposes, etc., is an innova tion upon former usage and is an exjicnse to the county by taxation which I do not think legitimate, and as a substitute and upon the principle of right and justice the parties who use juries should be com [K-lled to pay them, and not he charged to the public, who diave no interest in the civil matters of issue between the parties. Parties who use the county officers, such as clerks and sheriffs, and who require extra services of those offi cers other than their regular duties, and for which no compensation is allowed, should bo taxed with the cost of such ex tra services, and not, the public taxed who have no interest in the matter. This is justice.” Judge Strozier is right. There is no earthly reason why the pcojile should he taxed to raise revenue to sett le trivial disputes between individuals. Frequent ly it is the case that a judicial squabble over a claim for ten dollars, ora criminal prosecution for the theft of a jieek of jieas, involves an expense of one or two hundred dollars to the tax-payers of a county. It is wrong; and we trust the day is not far distant, when the sugges tion Os Judge Strozier will he a law of the land: that parties who use juries be required to j.ay them. Terns unit Its Hisatlruntuycs. A late issue of t he Tallahassee Floridi an contained a letter from Rev. Dr. Leonard, who has recently returned from Texas, in which he advises the people of this country to remain where they are, and not be led off l>y an ignus fatuus. The Doctor says: “1 do not believe you could do a greater service to your fellow citizens in Florida and South Georgia than raise your warning voice against that restless sjiirit, which is causing so many of our citizens in Florida and South Georgia to leave comfortable homes, under the idea or imaginary hope of bettering their condition by a move to Texas. That country will not suit one in ten of our citizens who have lived hero a few years. I have met with none who were satisfied with (heir move, who have recently gone to Texas.” Dr. Leonard is a high-toned, Christian gentleman, of sound discretion and cx perience, ’and will he remembered l.y many of our citizens who listened to his eloquent and fervent sermon at the Meth odist church in Quitman, a few weeks ago. But, wo have other authority as to the disadvantages which an emigrant to Tex as must experience, which those citizens of this and neighboring counties, who design trying their fortunes in said State the approaching winter, will do well to ponder. A correspondent or the Albany New/, who has traveled all over Texas, gives his experience in a recent, issue of that journal, and raises a warning voice against the abandonment of comfortable homes to encountre t rials and hardships. He says that “Texas is a lino landed country as fine land as any country can boast of- hut! The cost of saving the productions from the land takes away all the profits. Labor is uncertain and poor, principally white, excejit on bot toms (river bottoms) where the negro prevails, in fact, it is exclusively negro. Everything is a great deal higher there than here in proportion. Rails are worth from S4O to S6O per thousand or 10 cents each. Lumber S4O per thousand deliv ered at depots, and off in country towns ranges as high as S9O. Improved lands is on the market at from sls to sfi<) jar acre, according to the distance from town. I know of land 80 miles from railroad in Froth county sold in December for $29 jier acre. Improvements very indiffer ent. The climate is much colder than I ex jieeted to find, and so disagreeable ! The mud is also a disagreeable companion, ns it brings to mind the sentence, — “stickeih closer than a brother,” but it’s a kind of stick not at all to he desired. I’ve seen 12 yoke of oxen hitched to one wagon juilliug hard to try and get the wheels to turn, but in vain, for the driv er is compelled to halt and clean his wheels. This, however, occurs only after rains or rainy weather, as the roads ore A No. 1, in good weather, but that seems to come so seldom. All these ob jections may seem trivial to those desir ous of a move to the “Great Prairie State,” but they assume huge propor j lions when once you are there. To the young men I say remain as you are, for I am personally acquainted with the best salesmen in Middle Texas, men who control a great deal of trade, and they only get S4O to SSO and S6O J'er month. There are men who know a great many of the inhabitants who trade in their respective towns. To a young i man from Georgia or any other old State, i I say vou can’t get employment only on i farms and at a paltry sum. A cashier. ! of my acquaintance, of a Bank that ranks ! A No. 1, in Texas, gets only S4O per j month. For every situation in Texas Fll I guarantee there are twenty aspirants. The State is overloaded wit h young men. In Dallas, Texas, a principal town on Houston A Texas Central R. R., there I were, in February, 150 aspirants for one ! situation— conductor’s jiosition —and I they bid the salary down to $lO jier i month. I hate to hear of any one leaving Geor gia and going to Texas, as I know what it is. To the rich men I say you can make millions there, but to any one else I say stay at home. The coat of improvement in Texas is too much for us who have so little. A lintlly Vseil Word. On the 28th of May, General Davis forwarded a dispatch from the Lava Beds to the government, that he had captured certain Modoc Indians, and being satis fied of their loyalty, bad sent them in pursuit of Captain Jack. This disjiatch influenced the Macon Telegraph to expose the absurd use to which the word “loy alty” has been applied of late years. It said: If it be true that usage fixes the force and signification of words, there is one word in the Queen’s English which ought to bring suit against the Radical party, and recover exemplary and vindic tive damages. We refer to the word •'Loyalty,” and cite the disjiatches to-day in evidence of the practical dishonor which has been put on a good, old-fash ioned word, of more projier use under dynastic governments, and intended to signify ai) honorable and unswerving fi delity to the person and authority of the sovereign. General Jefferson C. Davis illus trates to what an extent the Northern brethren have tarred and feathered that word when he telegraphs to Washington that he is satisfied of the “ loyally ” of Bogus Charley, Shack mist v Jim, Hooker Jim and Steamboat Frank, who, having saved their precious carcasses by surren der, now propose (probably for a gallon of whiskey) to start after Captain Jack, their chief, and others of their late con federates, and bring their heads into the United States camp. General Davis says he is so well satisfied of their “loyal ty'” that he has given them horses, guns and provisions for the work. He verrily believes that they are such remorseless traitors and scoundrels— such Judas Ih cariots to their own kith, kin and nation, that they will cajiture and murder them, as they promise to do. And in this new interpretation of “ Loy alty’” Gen. Davis follows the court and the fashion established by about, twelve years’ usage. The Bogus Charlies and HI lack nasty Jims arc not confined to the Modocs, but were not very scarce in the Southern States during the "late rebell ion,” and have sustained, with remarka ble uniformity, this modern conception of “Loyalty” that is to say, a sodden venality- a brutal selfishhess and cun ning treachery, as opposed to that uu sweruing and transparent, truth, honor and fidelity which used to be understood by the term “loyalty.” Tried by the new signification of the term, Judas Isca riot was the most loyal of all the ajiostles, for he went over to the support of the government just as Bogus Charlie and j Shaeknasty Jim are doing, and in much : the same way. And experience is teaching the Nor thern jieople that, this “loyalty” which has its essence in treachery to the obli gations of citizenship the t ies of nature —the brotherhood of race —the affection duo to natal soil and to one’s own neigh bors and kindred, is the all sufficient qualification for every kind of roguery known among men! When a man is loyal after this sort he is a full graduate in human depravity generally. Hence the Southern “loyalists,” so called, have become at last wearisome to the North ern brethren by reason of their rascali ties; because these brethren committed the folly of attemjiting a permanent en gagement with the “loyalists,” instead of laying them aside at once after their work was done. This was unwise—it was, “not to put too fine a point on it,” decidedly green. These loyal men should all have l>een laid away where they could not play false any more, and the next thing in hand should have bean to restore the word to an honest signification. The Modocs. In the capture of Capt. .Tael; and his Modoc braves, the government lias se cured an elephant, and its disjiosition is a cause for wrangling among officials. A disjiateh from “Camp Boyles” on the sth, was to this effect: “This morn ing the secret is out that General Davis intends to erect, a scaffold and execute about one dozen of the worst murderers in the tribe at sunset to-morrow. He feels that there is no need for delay, as no doubt of the guilt of the intended vic tims can exist, and justice demands asj>ee dv and certain action. Even at this time he is now writing a statement of their offen ces ,which will lie read to the condemned Modocs, and a still later dispatch says Davis, after having completed all arrang ments for the execution of the Modocs, received orders from Washington to hold i the jirisoners until further advised, and i is thus stopped in his contemplated work. The feeling in the army is one of pro found disgust at this action.” The reason for the suppression of the execution, is a disagreement among Washington officials as to the propriety of the inhuman massacre proposed. The Secretary of War is opposed to the meas ure. whilst others favor it. Captain Jack maintains a dignified bearing and oomjHisure, and is evidently jirepared for anv fate. jCorrespoodence of the Banner.) A Public Library for Quitman. The advancement of the human race is, or, in our judgment, ought to be the one great aim of our social system; and in no way can this great end be better accomplished than by Laying the founda tion of social, intellectual and moral im provements. The youths of our commu nity are receiving from the precejits and teachings of able preceptors, the instruc tions that will fit them for the minor every-day duties of life, hut, is that all that is necessary to make the citizen r Are there not higher walks of science, of history, anct of general information, to which the ambitious youth would natu rally look ? and does not the man, who, possessing one iota of the sjiirit of ad vancement that seems to actuate the j>eo j<le of the present century, desire to keep pace with the outside world? How of ten is it the case that some statistical, some obstruse question of learning, is mooted Tiy the press, of which we, in our quiet little town, are wholy ignorant and how are these things to be remedied ? Should wo quietly set with our hands folded, and hope that the “mountain will come” to us ? Shall we hug, in fatal, de lusion, the too commonly accejited idea that “fate and fortune” will bring to us our wishes ? No! I cannot believe that the jieojile of Quitman and surrounding country, will Tie so blind to their own in terest, and to the interest of their chil dren, and perhaps their childrens’ ehil drer, to sit complacently by and see the opportunity jiass of letting the “outside” world know that they are determined to enter into the race of moral, social, and intellectual improvement; and I trust they will bear with me, while I jioint out the mode of reaching the much desired end. Some of the young men of this place and surrounding country have formed themselves irlto a ‘club for their “moral, social and intellectual advancement,” and have already held several meetings and fully organized; and by the suggestion of one “who knows whereof he sjioaks,” it has been determined to try and raise sufficient funds to purchase a permanent Library for Quitman, or at least to form the nucleus of one at. the jiresent time, and add to it as circumstances will Jier rnit; and we trust, by our jiersistent ef forts in this good cause, to lay the foun dation of a scheme that will, as time rolls on, Tic expanded and enlarged, until the “Quitman Public Library” will lie a pow er in the formation of oui social, moral and intellectual system. Other places] of less magnitude and general social; qualities, have this great blessing, and j why should not Quitman ? It will place ; in easy reach of your sons and daugh- j tors those high-toned and standard works ‘ of science, of history, and of Belles Let ters, that are now too often, [ am sorry to say, put aside for the jiernieious and ] depraved light, literature of the day; and : which, through its direful influence, j causes many of the crimes and domestic | broils of the day. Fvjmnge from your I homes these “demons of destruction," j and introduce the works of authors I whose fame and teachings times' blight- ] ing hand cannot mar, and before a few j years have passed you will bless the mo- j tive that prompted you to lend your as- i instance to this scheme. Ponder it well, j and let no extraneous circumstances j control your actions. The mode w e propose t o adopt is this: To solicit from our citizens generally, the sum of $5,00 tier annum, which will ' be placed in the hands of a committee,; whose duty it shall be to conduct the purchase of booksf, and who will act un-1 der restrictions Kaioh citizen contribu ting the above mentioned sum to be en tered on the roll of the Club as a£eon- ' tributing member,” which will at all times secure him un entrance to the Club. ! A Librarian will be chosen, w ho, togeth er with the committee, will be resjionsi- j ble for each volume permitted to go out ; of the Library. There are various other : points connected with the scheme which space will not permit, us to mention, hut ] we trust the citizens generally will think 1 of the matter, and determine to do their j duty to themselves, their children and j society generally; and we cannot think , they will ever regret having encouraged the scheme of PROGRESS. - —— An Attempt at Wife Murder.— ln St. Louis on Wednesday last a worthless; vagabond by the name of Joseph 11. Farr, who had been sejiuratcd from his wife, met her on the street, and appealed to her to live with him again. On her re fusal to do so he extended his hand to tell her good-bye. She took his hand, when he drew her to him. and drawing a hatchet from under his coat, dealt her three severe blows on the head. Then drojiping the hatchet, the would-be mur derer fled. He was afterwards arrested and lodged in jail w hen he affected in sanity, pretending to believe himself to be Caj't. Jack, the Modoc Chief.

San Fkancisco, June 9. —Dispatches from Bay lea’ camp, dated the Bth, recite particulars of an atrocious massacre of Modoc prisoners, supposed to have been perpetrated by Oregon volunteer*. On Saturday morning, James Fairchild and about twelve other men left Fairchild’s ranche, Cottonwood creek, with seven teen Modoc captives,' including women and children and Shaenasty Jim, Bogus Charley, Tehee Jack, Pony and Little | John. The Indiana were in a wagon ! drawn by four mules. At a crossing of ; Lost river the party encountered a body | of Oregon volunteers, under command of j Captain Aisen, The soldiers gathered about the wagon and questioned Fairchild. The latter told them the Indians were all Creeks, except Little John, and that there were no charges against them. Fairchild under took to push on to Baylos’ camp and the ; volunteers retired to their camp, near Crowley’s. On the road Fairchild no j tioed two men ahead riding *o Rocky I Point, as if to intercept him. When the team approached the two men, one of them presented a needle gun at Fairchild, saying get down you old white head ed . Bv what authority, said Fairchild. By mine, lam going to kill the In dians and you too, was the reply. The ! leader caught hold of the mules and un | hitched t hem, cutting the harness. Fair ! child clinging to the lines, leaped to the I ground. The poor wretches in the wag | on implored for mercy and U'ggcd Fair j child to save them. The warriors were unarmed and knew resistance useless. ! They were the coolest in the party, al j though facing inevitable death, i>ut the ; women and children shrieked, groaned j and wept piteously. Fairchild had noth j ing hut a small 'pistol, and six inches j from his ear was the muzzle of a needle | gun. He says tears came into his eyes and he mingled his entreaties with those ] of the Modocs in hopes the massacre I might be avoided. He adds : “It was a I terrible scene one I shall never forget, j I shudder when I think of what 1 saw and heard. The tearful voices of those ! women and children still ring in mv ears, but the cowardly hands were not to be j balked. A shot, and Little John lay j dead in the wagon with a bullet in his j brain.
