'ALLIANCE IN THE WEST.
All of tbe latest information from
the States of the West goes to show
that the Farmers’ Alliance is-rapidly
advancing in public consideration in
that section in consequence of the
great increase in its membership.
An assembly representing a large
proportion of the counties of In
diana, was recently held at Princeton
in that State, and the reports of the
delegates from the different lodges
were most favorable to tbe growth of
organization, not only in numbers,
but also in wealth.
One of the first acts of this assem-
b’y was to establish a Board of
Trade, with a large amount of capi-»
tal subscribed to sustain it. One
object of this Board of Trade is to
dispense with the present necessity
of having to employ intermediaries
between wholesalers and retailers in
the articles required by the agricul
tural classes, thus doing away with
a source of great expense to .these
classes. It will be seen from this,
that one of the principal aims of the
Alliauce is to reduce as far as it can
the artificial burdens that now op-
press tbe farmers, Opt it will be im
possible for the members of the
Alliance to show their hostility to
our present tariff laws as a general
system until a general election comes
off. When such an election does
take place, there is strong reason for
expecting the same result in all the
other Western States that was ob
served in Iowa at the last elections.
The politicians of these States
have begun to feel much concern as
to the impression which the Alli
ance will probably make upon polit*
ical parties, and there is already a
proposition on foot to place a farmers
ticket in the field at local elections
in every district where the organiza
tier, has exhibited any r.trcngth.

Tn»re is little or no quis'.ion of ibis ability
of states and counties to construct faucb
roads /id may be required. But tbe town-
sliips are qot, as a rule, disposed to incur
immediate heavy outlay tor roads, where
the money must be paid in the annual tax
bill. To meet this difficulty it is proposed
to show that any township will be war
ranted, by considerations of economy and
thrift, in inning bonds ti; improve its roads,
as in effect recommended by Governor Hill
to the sta'eof New York.
We will suppose then that the area of
the average township is equal to three
miles square, and that to put in touch with
the great county road, and especially with
markets and railroad stations, it is neces

miles of improved road. Of course tbe

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
It is low time that Georgia was
takiug some active steps towatd im
proving her highways. Ever since
the country was first settled our peo
pie have bet-n hauling their loads
over old Indian trails—laid off with*
out regard to the topography of the
country—when often by diverging a
Jew 3 arils to the right or left a pre
cipitous hill or quagmire might be
avoided. It is impossible to calcu
late the injury to stock and vehicles
this lack ot good roads has incurred
in the last century—many times as
much as it would cost to lay Belgian
blocks on every highway and even
pig-path in Georgia.
Our country is new in a more
prosperous condition than ever
kn?wn before, and the people are
. being enthused with fresh life aud
enterprise. In tact, they are ripe for
any movement tending to progress
and convenience. Nothing is of more
vital importance than bettering the
condition of our highways. Since
the general adoption of the stock
law in Georgia, to resurvey our pub
lic roads, and place them on better
ground, will require a comparatively
small outlay. There are no lanes to
build or fences to change. This, of
course, is the first step. The next
must be to grade and macadamize a
a stated distance each year—as far
as the county finances will admit
without being too great a burthen to
the tax-payers. If Georgia can re
gain possession of her convicts, this
labor will do a greater part of the
work. Of course it will require time
to place all of our roads ia perfect
repair, and the first step should be
to grade two of the most important
highways, crossing each other near
the centre of a county. Intersecting
roads can enter them, and thus every
traveller will be benefitted.
In this connection, we copy a Bug
gestiou from Bradstreet, that will
apply to Georgia as much as to New
York, and which we commend to the

How, then, is it practicable to procure
aucb roads—at least in the majority of our
older states ?
It is to be observed, in tbe first place,
that, by beginning with a proper system, a
moderate mileage of driving roads is all

these first roads, it can hfiord to increase

its bearings, and it was decidedly the
o inion of tbe committee that to sell
cotton by net weight, instead of gross
weight, as has been tbe custom in this
market ever since it bas been a market
for ootton, would be of great injury to
the producers of cotton, and would
wring from them annually nearly $1,-

South annually $17,500,000.
It was decided to address to tbe pro

views ef the committee, and to ask them
