To the Chairman of the County
Court of- t tounttf. '. .
Sir: TJie board of internal improve
ments, by the Act which created it, has'
a general superintendence over all the
public improvements in the btatej for
which reason it is highly important that
the total amount of produce of each
county ia the State should be in posses
sion cf, and known to the board. Such
mass of statistical information would
form a text book of reference of incal
culable 'advantages for the successful
prosecution of the .works now in pro
gress, and, if possible, of still greater
importance to suc.1 as should hereafter
be recommended .to the patronage of
me oiaie ana our citizens. -
By reference to the Fayetteville and
Western railroad, the idea can be fully
illustrated. .The board isjery solicit
ous to carry into effect the acts of the
legislature in relation to this road : and
for that purpose deem it of the utmost
importance that the amount of produce
which is likely to be transported on the
contemplated road should be ascertain
ed with the utmost practicable certain
ty. , It will be recollected that, at the
session of 18C3 7, an act was passed,
authorizing the board to subscribe 2-f ths
of the sum V'hich might be, found ne
ccssa fy to construct t7a said road,
whenever 3-i.trj shoe I ka subscribed
by.mdividuals, . TI.:f act failed, from
the want of L' ; rctriisilQ amount cf in
dividual subscription ; and that it may
not happen that ttis late act sur men
tal to the fosmer "-a," which authorizes
the subscription . the part of the State
of 3-5ths. whc.T individuals shall have
subscribed 2-6ihs; shall also fail, we re
quest information, that the public may
have some accurate data, on which to
f)uad the probable value cf the stock.

the chief cause of the failure of i.'.a sub
scrs; tion ; for it cannot be douUcd that
tha means cf the country interested an;
ampb, or that they would be applied, if
it Could be shown that the investment
would be a good one ; and until this
diHkutty is xemoved, and the whole
subject laid fairly before the public, it is
apprehended that capitalists will con
tinue backward in making investments
in tha stock. Owing to the peculiar;
circumstances of tne section of country :
pn relation to its trsde) which this road j
is designed to accommodate the ordin-!
a ry methods of obtaining the i desired
facts ire not applicable to ih - General
ly, the amount of exportable produce of
a country may be easily ascertained
at the market at which it is traded 1 but
the produce of this section if carried to
the markets of Virginia, North and
South Carolina, and Georgia," and to
their Villages as well emporiums;
it is so disused and scattered ; abroad,
that we must look to tha growtr, in-
f ead of the purchaser, for a correct
nowledVe of its .amount. Anil the
board believe and trust, that an oppor
tunity will shortly ofTer, when it may
be obtained without cost to the State,
or inconvenience to the people," and,
compared to the great benefit to be de.
rivea, with very httle trouble to ' the
gents who may, be engagedin procur
ing it and, thinking it very important
the occasion should not be passed by
unimproved, have determined to ask
the aid of the County Conrts, not only
of the counties which lie west of Fay
etteville, but also of all other counties -to
be preserved and iked as occasion
may require. ' 1"
In stating the wislics of the Board.
which I will now do the - mode of -obtaining
the desired information ,will be
sufficiently explained. i
The Board requests your County
Court at its next: session, to direc' the
Magistrates who may be appointed to
take the lists of taxable property,; to as
certain from each person,' at the time he
offers his list, the amount of produce he
raised in 1833; he market at which he
sold, or designs selling it ; to keep lists
oi tne same accoraing io ine rorms nere-;
with transmitted, and to return them to
the Clerk, alocg with the tax lists, who
is requested to forward Ihem to the j
t . m I -
Board as eerly as possible. In making
the appointment of magistrates for ta-i
kins the lists, it is very desirable that 1
such persons only should be selected as
would cheerfully nerforrn this easy, but
very important task; All produce which
is destined for exportation beyond the
limits of the Mate, should be returned,
whether his taken off. by the grower
or a neishborini merchant. When
these list ths!l havo' teenTeturncd-to'ie v era to
