County Roads and Bridges. We are sorry to be forced again to call at tention to the condition of the roads and bridges in thi3 county. "Notwith standing our oft repeated notices, we are informed that the authorities have not yet put them in repair. This is u matter in which not only the county people, but this city, which mainly de pends upon country produce for its business prosperity, is deeply interested. Ridft three miles from Raleif h in anv direction and you would be shocked at the utter inattention, to this part of their trust, by our county authorities. The bridges are unsafe; the roads are full of washes, and creek and branch crossings are such as to endanger the best built -wagon and its load. We now ask, if the public, who are so much concerned in this matter if the citi zens of Raleigh who pay nearly half ot the county taxes are willing longer to permit old fogie3 to block up the fur ther hopes of prosperity in this thriving city, by stopiug the communication be tween the market and the crop so diffi cult. A part ot the large taxes with which our people are burdened, could in no other way be better used than by a repairof their roads a:M bridj. es.

Bacon, of Connecticut, ob- 'serving the lack of educational facilities afforded the white children of the South, has bent her energies towards the pro motion of education this class. She is wealthy, and besides infusing a pro per spirit in several communities to wards this end, has endowed and liberally contributed in the establish ment of first-class graded schools in several cities where the children of white mechanics and laboring men were growingup without the means of educa tion. In Wilmington, she has instituted a high school, with an excellent corps ot teachers, and has thus filled a void that was deeply felt. Competent judges declare that "this' school, under her auspices, is asgood as any in the State, and equal to the best normal schools of the wide-awake .West, andrjts results wilt be felt for cenerutions in'that com munity. - . In Raleigh, thanks to the- liberality and opeu handed genero fity of Northern philanthropists, the colored children are well supplied with school facilities both teachers and school houses. But, the children oi the white poor are desti tute. They have no school bouses worth the name, no teachers, and no tree schools, and it is an admitted fact that thecolored Children are rapidly advanc- neighbors. The proposition of the County Commissioners to levy a special tax for school purposes has been lately voted down by the tax payers of the county. In this emergency the friends of education determined to appeal to philanthropy, and ask its aid for the children ot Raleigh, who were growing up in ignorance ; and the Chairman ot the Township School Committee, back ed by the names of several prominent citizens, (chiet among- whom was that lame-hearted gentleman. -J. II Mills,) appealed to-Miss Bacon to visit' Raleigh, and co-operate with them in building up the common school inter ests of the city. She has acceded to. their request, and will visit Raleigh. The following letter has just been re ceived : New Haven, Conn., May 12, 1S73. John C. Gorman, Esq., ' Chairman of School Committee : Dear Sir: I am expecting to start on my journey to Raleigh in a day or two, and shall probably reach that city the latter part ot this week. I s y y hall be glad to confer with you about our schools, and will promptly notify ou of mv arriva'. ' " Very respectfully, Rebecca T. Bacon. When Miss Bacon arrives, we hope our citizens will interest themselves enough in the cause she has so much at heart as to visit and confer with her. Lt-t;her noble and unselfish philanthrophy be met in a be coming spirit by all our citizens, Much good can be accomplished it this is done, and we shall expect our mer chants, traders, divines, teachers, mauu facturers and the ladie , to visit and con fer with her; and let us have a system of common schools in this city that will be our pride, and of exceeding useful ness to our community. Franklinton as a Tobacco Market. A correspondent fiom Franklinton sends us the following concerning to bacco sales in that town : "On Tuesday we attended the first sale ot leaf tobacco at this warehouse. Although the notice was out but a lew days before, the streets on Monday were blocked with wagons, and we were as- kept up The prices obtained seemed to give satisfaction to all, and Franklinton may be set down as a cood tobacco market. A great deal ol common sun- cured tobacco was exhibited and sold at good prices. The fine sun cured Bever Dam sold well and some coal- cured went out of sight.

Mr. Battle explained that hi3 criti cisms of inequalities in the old assess ments were not to reflect either on the capacity or integrity ot former Boards of Assessors.

A steamer arriv ed to-day from Spain with one thousand Carlist prismers to re-inforce the army here. The steamers Yazoo, Juniata, Ger manra and Ilav&m; from New ' Orleang, are still compelled to remain in quaran tine here, although there are no cases sickness on them, and the Board of Health at New Orleans certifies that tm3re ig QO choJera q that d but the ' governrr.enfe-here- claims that the quar antine is imposed on information havT ing been received from the Spanish consnl at Orleans that cholera really ex ists there. This rigid enforcement in quarantine regulations does much injury to commerce, and is believed to have been ordered on insufficient ; grounds. Official telegrams from Puerto Principe reports that the Leon battallion recently had a fight with insurgents, and that the Cuban General Dynalio Agramonte was killed, and his body brought to Puerto Principe. General Sauguilie is also reported to have been killed. Later. The insurgents attacked a train on ' the Puerto Principe Railroad and killed the commander of Molina fort, 2 captains and a numbei of sol diers. . . - : From New York. New. YoRKi May 14.
