lioufe, who could not be brought out
to aftion, without the lot's of a man,
horfc or gun.”
A corret'pondent, who has lately
traveled through this ftatc, informs us,
that he has no where obferved fo much
public fpirit, as in Fayette-Ville. At
that place they have lately opened fe-
Tcral ne w roads, and raifed a number
of new bridges, in order to render the
communication with the country more
caty and convenient—They have alfo
creded two large and elegant buildings
for the accommodation of their courts
and the General AlTetiibly. There is
aco'iipany formed tomakeCrofs-Creck
navigable for boats from the river to
thw upper town. All thefe improve
ments are carried on by private fub-
fci iptions. This propofed navigation
cf the Creek, will, it is expected,greatly
ieii'en the expcnce which is occafioned
by conveying merchandize, &c. from
l!ie landing to the town in waggons,
as well as add much to the beauty of
t..e place. In fhort, it is the opinion
of our correfpondent, that, confidcring
the iituation of Fayette-Vilie, fo con
venient for commanding the trade of
an extenfive back country, and its other
advantages, that it muft fooii become
a plajc ot great coniequence, as well
as worthy oi being the Capital of an
extenfive -late.
A coiii'.iiy corrcfiiondent informs
us, that it i > expected the crops this
yesr wdi be greater than have been
known to; icvera! years paft.
