Mini faOJIHlrjrHI UAIEiaJILIlfvJIlAf3 Communications. Fur the Carolinian. Mr Editor : A writer in jour last num. ber, over the signature of" M.'V question the" arcuiacy of the statement made by you on the subject of improviug lb titivigatiou of Cape Fear River. Whether the amount stated, as the probable cost of the locks and damn, ne cessary to the accomplishment of so valuable no object be correct, is nut so material ; hut the true question is, whether the thine be prac ticable or not. That it is practicable, no person has ever before doubted; practical men nave so dec-hired --reason and common sense would so declare. What, I would org to know, i the mighty obstacle, if the means were provided ( M."snys, "We hve- a liver that, not, unfrcqiientlv, rnes 10, 20, 30, 40, and even 60 feet in a dnv or two, and then very sagely asks, what would you do with locks lu Kuch a river?" I take it lor granted, Mr Editor, that the Cape Fear is not the only river on thin Continent that is subject to extraordinary swells, when there is n heavy or long'Contiuued raiu, ; nor is it the only one whose waters are low when there is n pro tracted drought ; but it is the first time I ever heard the objection to improving a river be- , cause it is subject to inundation. I am no engineer, and yet 1 think I can tell yeur cor respondent what we can do with "such a river.' By propei Jy conducted dams and locks, navigation with steamboats could be re lied on in the driest season., and wheu it rises, even 50 fret, rafis cau easily and safely pass over the dam", while boats of every de scription could as ea$ily and as safely pass through the locks. Sir, be it remembered, that the falls, wheie lucks would be necessary, are uot so steep or so rapid as to require much labor or time in passing boats through them I have heaid many well-informed persons ex press this view of the subject, and even Gov ernor AlorebeaJ, thut mau of ''practical vigor," was well satisfied that the improvement of the Cape Fear River could be rendered pertni ueut by locks and dams. I sincerely hope the suggestion thrown out by you (in the number before the iut of your paper) will be acted on. That the citizens of Fayetteville and Wilmington, whose in terests depend so much on our river, will take the subject into serious consideration that they will device some plan for its improve meut, and that, whether we have 50 feet or 2 feet water on the shoal, wo fhall be certain of having, what is so desirable, au uuiuterupt ed navigation. That the Navigation Company have done much to keep the river free from logs and other obstructions, there can be no doubt , ad, I suppose, there is as little doubt, that they are amply remunerated for their labor by the tolls they receive from the boat owners. I have never read the charter of the Company, and therefore cannot say what obligations the law imposes on them in return for their char tered pi ivileges ; but, as the timber business is gettiug to be one ot great importance to the people living above the head of steamboat navigation, it is a subject well woithy of con sideration, how tar that Company are held bound to expend a portion of their tolls in removing obstruction in the river above this place. If they are not bouud by the law to clear the river, as far as practicable, f existing jm f 111 obstructions to trie sale passage ol valuable rafts of timber and lumber, then some oihe mode should be devised by which this valuable aud increasing branch of business can be safely nrogeculed. If, however, the Act ol Assembly, graining the Navigation Company such exclusive privileges, contemplated im provements by them above the head of steam boat navigation, why, then, the interests of the people of Fayetteville and of V ilinington. and of a large po tiou of the County of Cum berland, call loudly on them to do it. I heartily joiu your correspondent " M. m the wish that the steamboat recently launched had better uot call iu the Bible for a witness. He will find it a two edged sword on this sub ject. It the Bible tells us an eye for an eye. and a tooth for a tootb, it also tells us mat n a man lake our coat give him our cloaK aiso, and if be slap us on one cheek to turn the other. But as "B" and myself ag'ee on two points, 1 will turu to them. I must confess, I am rather doubtful whether auy good can be accomplished by a Peniteutlary. But there is one object in which every body is interest ed, and therefore, as B ' would say, it inter ests every body ! That is, good roads. All offences for which the criminal is uot to suf fer deaih ; but excepting all such as are of too li'i-ht a character, should be chained and dres stfd iu a ceilain uniform, something like ihit of the Penitentiary, aud put upn the public roads, having au overseer or superintendent at a fixed salary. 1 mean now that each County ' vhall have the direction f its own criminals ; appoint its own superintendents and pay them, aud make its own regulations. The first object to be accomplished should be, good turnpikes from each Court House to the other, being four good roads brauching off at right angles from each county seat, lead- in" to the next: thus would the facilities lor travelling be increased, and as a natural con sequence, the Havel would be increased, yea, doubly and trebly. luMeau ol being loonea upon as a penalty to ride from one Court House lo another as it is at present, these roads would offer inducements to go. This would form continuous turnpikes throughout ihe whole Slate, and wheu iu the course of lime, these should become complete, nnd there should be more force than necessary o keep them iu repair, new roads may be cut as ue cessityaud the growing population and inter course mi-'ht call lor them ; lor be assured, that thi first tet of roads mentioned, once completed, there would be such a change in the business of this State such au increase iu its population, that new roads would become absolutely necessary as new avenues of bui- it ness were opened. Lveiy county tow u woutu feel the effects, aud reap the wide beuefits of this system. Every farmer would be blessed . . . t . rm. II with au easy access to inaiKei. travellers would uot sbuu us as they do now, on account of our bad roads. Iu fact, Mr Editor, it is not possible now to enumerate all the effects of this system ; the immense beds of coal that it would bring lo Fayetteville, Witmiugtou and Raleigh the building stone the ores of our western -V The following from the correspondence of the Washington Union, shews what we are rejoiced to see : Philadelphia, Nov. 17, 1845. You will observe that the tariff couveution at Hollidaysburg, on the 12ih lust., was a dead failure; and, as 1 exected, ine democrats who came to attend the convention cted with prudence and courage. Uoveroor forter pie sided, assisted by sixteen or twenty vice-presidents and four secretaries. There were not many persous present from a distance; the number was much less than was expected. The whis endeavored to make the couveu tion decide in favor of the taiifiof 1842, with out ree ve ; but the democrats were not to be balked iu that way ; and a resolution was adopted finally, incorporating the aeutiinents of Mr Polk'a letter to Mr Kane. Every effort was made in vaiu by the wbigs to vote down the word " revenue ;" but the democrats ad hered to it throughout. An attempt was also made against the Union." ou the ground that its anti-tariff tendencies demanded that the representatives of this Stale in Congress should vote against ii for the printing. This, too, the democrats defeated. You will see from thu that the whole affai', from first to last, was rather a failure, and that the conse quences are not destined to be of a very se rious character. We are not wedded, of ne cessity, tJ the tariff of 1842 iu this State. All classes, all sections of the people, desire that we should have a permanent revenue system ; aud, while the interests of Pennsylvania are such, of course, as call for the exercise of the principle of discrimination, where duties are laid with reference to the economical expendi tures of the government, we are all willing to confide to the President of our choice the set tlement of the whole question. PENITENTIARY. An Alabama paper is quite eloquent upon the evil of putting couvicts iu a Penitentiary to be learned a trade. It says : "It is known, perhaps to all, that the con victs iu our State Penitentiary have been ever since its erection, employed in different branches of the mechanic art", manufacturing only such articles as are produced by the hon est and industrious artisans of the country, greatly to the detriment of the latter iu several respects, aud an annual toss to tne aiate. The institution has thus far failed to pay ex penses, and consequently money, raised by taxation, has to bo appropriated out of the y public treasury for that purpose, and while the mechanic ol the country has had au opposi tion manufactory set up by the State, to com pete with him in his labors, he is at the same time called upon, yen compelled to cive part of his hard earning for Ihe support of his giant competitor, in order that it may keep its head above water, aud the more successfully prose cute it labors.

IVilnington Journal. From the Raleigh Standard. WHIG CANDIDATE for GOVERNOR. Il would appear from the Register of Friday ast. that Governor Graham is to be the next whig candidate IV Governor. That paper ays, no uwuui omciauy, uni uut. urinaoi will yield to ihe harmonious mandate or his political frieuds, and again euter the field in t be ir service, however much it may conflict with his private interest That is. he will run fot a second term, provided his political fiieuds desire him to do so. We coufess frankly that we care but little what federal leader the whigs run for Govern or. We believe that with an able aud effi cient candidate in the field, aud with all the efforts of all the party, the democrats are cer tain of success. But one thing is clear to our mind, and that is, the announcement of Gov. trraham as the candidate is the strong est proof of conscious weakness in the whig party. They feel that their cause is deel in ns, and they seek to bolster it bp by claims which have no foundation iu fact to extraor dinary popular esteem and regard. Gov. Graham, then, is to be the Federal candidate. This is settled. The next nues- ion is, ought he to be elected? In ail caudor and honesty, we thiuk not. What has he done for the people? Where are Ihe mem orials ol his services? What great public measure has he advocated ? What system of public economy has he introduced ? How much has ho lightened the taxes of the people? But, says some one, he has made a vood Governor, and ought uot. therefore, to be turned out. Beg your pardon. Sir, no dern ocrat has any idea of turning Arm nut. Let him serve out his preseut teirn; aud if he does well, commend him, but if not, condemn him. For this ternr he is now eettins: hit reward in honor and pay. Will this honor and this pay entt'le him to more honor and more pay in a particular Department I II a will, theu go on, if your Constitution will permit yu, and elect him, under this rule, Governor for life. I he INogTH Carolinian. We must confess that we were much surprised at the apparent recommendation of the editor of this sterliug democratic paper, to let the wbigs elect their Governor without opposition, should Mr ixranam be their candidate, such a course would uever do, at least in this State, which the present iucumbeut only carried by a small majority, which has been since considerably reduced. Our own District is eager to re deem itself, aud show that it is not fairly re presented in Congress : aud the interests ol the democratic party of the Union require that we should maintain and show our strength to contest every step of ground, and show the whigs that if they gam auy thing ihey will at least have a brush for it. No, uo, it will never do lo have the party scattered, as would be the result ot the course prescribed by Mr Bayne a, it they were, rnaitv, too many, tlu-pans would have to be brought into requisition be lore Ihey could he hived again. e mu.- uot remain inactive we rnut havo the pro posed Convention, and lhat is not all we hould sena delegates, and uoi slop ai inei mere appointment. Jutncolnten Courier. Of course, we always prefer agreeing with our political frieuds on matters of party policy; but it seems we differ with some of Ihem iu this case ; and we cannot help it. We but gave our opinion candidly and frankly. Never theless, as we said before, the Coui ier will find u by his side, zealou iu the endeavor t elect Mr Fisher, (for we believe he will and ought to be the candidate,) or whoever may be nominated. We have no doubt, too, but what the requisite number of delegates w ill go from this county to the Convention. We are not of that sort hiuled at by our worthy friend above, who, because things do not go exactly as they think is best, w ill hang back and throw cold water ou the efforts of the rest of the par. ty. We only ask to express our opii.ion ; if the majority think differently from us, out democracy teaches us lo submit at mice to their opinion and do as much to carry out rVieir policy, as we would had ihey adopted sr own. If every democrat will subscribe to this, we shall live long and harmouiously together iu the democratic family. An Indian Hanging. The first Indian that was capitally executed by the Cberokees under Cherokee) laws and by a Cherokee sheriff, was a man named Nat, who was hanged several years ago about five miles from Yen Buren, Arkansas, for the murder of another Indian, who waa called Musquito. nave the particulars from an eve witness. The sheriff had caused a gallows to be erect ed a short distance from the Couit lodge, but wheu the culprit was brought to it, be being a very tall man, il was fouud to be too short for his accommodation, aud some other place had tu be sought for the execution. 1 he whle band of Indians with the sheriff and Nat iu the midst of ihem, then betook themselves tu the banks of the Arkansas, in search of a propei tree from which lo suspeud the prisoner ; aud after a little time, a tall cot ton wood was found, with a projecting branch ar up the trunk, that in the opinion of all was suitable for the purpose. Nat, now that all tbiugs were ready, expressed a wish to bathe in the river once more, which he was permitted to do, carefully guarded by rifles from the shore. He went into the water, frolicked about for some time, swam to and fro with great apparent pleasure then came to the shore douued his blauket and stood ready for the last act of the drama. The sheriff now told him to climb the tree, which he couirneuced doing, the officer of the law toiling up after him with the fatal cod Nat reached the projecting limb of the tree, and was desned by the sheriff tu wok himself as far out upon il from the Irutik. ns he could which was done, when ihe sheriff adjusted 'he the noose around his uecic. and tied the other end of ihe rope around the limb. All Ihesc preparations were conducted with Ihe ut most cool uess, and the most perfect good un derstanding existed bet wee u ihe Sheriff and the Indian. When all the airangemeuts were complet ed, the sheriff told Nat that he would slide down the tree to the ground, aud make a signal when be, the prisoner, must jump off the limb to which Nat cheei fully assented. The her iff reached the grouud and looking up to ihe limb upon which sat the poor victim, shout ed "Now, Nat, you red devil jump!" Aud jump Nal did. aud after a few struggles, hung a mass of lifeless clay, to the infinite wonder ment of his red brethren, who bad never be fore been regaled with the sight of a u execu tion of this kind.

The number of business meu, and their standing aud enterprise, would honorably compare with any, even of the northern villages. We have here Ihe U. S. Branch Mtut, in rapid coume of re-build:ng, aud will he ready for operation in the Spring. We have a lirau' h ofihr Bank of Cape Fear, doing a fine huiiues. And we have three Churches - Preshvleriau, Methodist, nnd Baptist, and 'he EpiscopilM.i- have contracted for lh ereillou ot a hand some edifice for worship- '? have ihe hue! ookin: aud most convenient Courthouse iu the Stale two Academies, male and female. both in a fl-iwrl-hing condition. 1 wo print. ug-offiVes.
