The progress of our internal improvements will perhaps be found as great as funds and circumstances would al low. ITe misapplication and waste of means hare heretofore re tarded the great work of improvement, involved us in difficul ties, and produced a depression of public spirit, from which we have not yet recovered; and but for the wisdom of the last Le gislature, in commencing a new plan, by beginning at the mouths of our rivers and proceeding gradually and effectually upwards, the people would have sunk into a state of indifference, to say the least, from whick it would have required many years to rouse them to. renewed interest and confidence. The appropriation made by the last Legislature, for the purpose of deepening the Flats in the Cape-Fear, below Wilmington, has, so far as 1 cam learn, excited a confidence and teal highly favorable to the cause of internat improvement; and the success which has already ret suited from the embankment which has been erected at the. up per Flats or Bulkhead, has fully realized the expectations of all acnuainted with tr. toTorranhv nf that has been satisfactorilyacertained, that at least twelve inches of water hate been gained since the completion of that embankment. lit L A - l I . r 1 . - . aunougn mat is oniy pariui ma wont contemplated to be done ' at that place. From the success which has thus far attended these works; ir may confidently expect that when the whole shall have been finished, the expectations of the public will be ' opeedily realized in the effect which it will produce on our com tnerce. . .oilld this imnrnve-nent in h nn.nirt;..n r U. ......... , - - .....

A contract for constructing these works was ef fected by the State Engineer for fifteen thousand dollars, (five thousand less than the sum appropriated; and ft is satisfactory to team, that the whole can be completed for that sum. I will tndnlirn the hone, that the vatfm which hna Koon (kn Mm. ... f - - - "J '.

A vast majority of the farming community are compelled, from their location, to go to' market by roads. They are not interest ed immediately in the clearing of oar rivers, except (as in the case of the Cape-Fear below Wilmington) it is to have a gene ral effect on the trade of the State. . e Our roads are bad, except where nature has made them good; and in some parts of. the country it is very difficult for the farmer to carry his produce to market. From the attention which has been paid to tne naviga tion of our rjvers, the people living remote, from them have a right to expect a correspondent spirit in regard to roads, and the uniform devotion of their representatives to their interests and wishes, is a'pledge that they will not be disappointed. The pre sent system of impairing r mis, wliiclvhas existed fur a longtime, is very defective both as to its unequal operation on the people, and the 5 temporary, unsubstantial repairs that are generally mifle. whirh oplAam In at lnmrorthnn tlio full nf ltnw rain i Miould the Legislatu; deem it expedient to open new roads, a different mode jnust be adopted 01 keeping them in repair: and it would be ell'to make an experiment at once, as the pre sent method 19 so obviously inefficient and unequal in its opera tion.
