In the meantime, we cannot forbear expressing our gratification at efforts so honorable to the cliaructcr and feelings of the western part of North-CaroCna j and judg. tng, as we do, from the character of the persons enga ged in this scheme, and the zeal of the public in its fa tor, i confident! anticipate its success. Notlting, we 'think, but a difference of opinion as to the place of loca :' lion, can produce a failure j but let the friends of (he in stitution be awsre of this rock. It is the same on which pinna as extensive as the present have oftentimes split. . There is another small point upon which some inter est is felt, that is, the name which the college shall bear, -ft ought not, wc conceive, to be One of tocai or prcscri - bed signification, but of enlarged and liberal meaning, ; showing the plan and character of the Institution. To ' ' identify it at once with the character of the state, and to : interest the public feefing, how would it answer to name ;.: t.?CABOUVACUMKiwr.. ....... - , Whatever has a tendency to raise' the character of our "state and promote the welfare of it citizens, sludl al- ways receive bur warmest wishes and zealous support ' The establishment of a new institution as extensive as the one in contemplation, cannot fail to hare that ten dency. It is bringing into. the bemispliere of our state an additional luminary, that will shed its light and influ ence among us. This remark is general in its applica tion j but the advantage Will be felt in a more particular 'ibanner in the western part of our state- it is making a great more in favor of the literature of the western counties. We amid, on a former occasion, and we here repeat it, ' that a great change is taking place in the moral and po- litical condition of the western part of North-Carolina. ..The tiffiu tie Uwm indicate it, and the project of this . College, is yet mntther tign, The work is going on ; and Hull must be the eye which cannot see it, and selfish must be the heart which does not rejoice at it. We rejoice ; I and our humble labors, soctras they ay shall be devo ' led to whatever may have a tendency to improve the standing of our state, ami to every effort that is made to - achieve the independence and obtain the equal rights of the western part of North-Carolina. rTheipubli(B ..wilibe shocked to learn, that an attempt was made eight days ago, by some vile incendiary, to set -on fire the elegant Bridge- across tlw Yadkin liver, built nnd ownedutj', Mr .Lewis Beard of this town. Fortu tiatery the fire was discovered before it got fairly under way, and was extinguished without occasioning much in jury to the timbers. The discovery was made early in the morning by one of the w orkmen employed in cov. . '. ering the bridge. From every circumstance,, it would -.appear, tliat the torch was applied an hour or two be j y. fore day-light but, very luckily, it was placed among J- f ? the large timbers, and in a situation where they had ac 77 "quired a degree of dampness which made them slow' to ; -rv burn, and thereby the progress of that destructive ele i ". , ,yx inent was retarded. Thus was saved from destruction a " ' : , work, which not only does honor to the enterprise of its I; ' . owner, but wtnily a credit to this part of the country. : VVile and despicable must be that wretch who could con- : ccite 0 base a design. The hand that would apply the - ' '1 torcbTof destruction, would never shrink from the dag &V? gcr of assassination.

Our Cmiu will not permit us to translate the whole of this sketch into ou r columns j but as the channel of the trade of this psrt of the country may, at some future period, be turned toward Chatham, the following account of that place may not be wholly dodoYIntwsttoour'ita4c "" '" - 7" I lttemln to speak of ('if atham, the teat ol many anxious hope and fears, and the scene of my present labors. Chatham is the Indian Che raw, elegantly situated on the southern bank of Peedee at the head of steam boat navigation, mid way between Georgetown and Salisbury, GO miles from Fayctteville and 30 from Camden. It hat been a place of more or less business for teventy years t it wat occupied by the BritKh army in the revolutionary war,, and witnessed many sangui nary scenes. I he natural advantages or the site i induced early hopes of its tucceti as a place ol commerce, being thuated the most conveniently to a larger extent of fertile back country than imy' commercial place between Petersburg and Augusta. Upon a fair estimate, it ought to have long tince taken the lead of Fayettcviile, Cam den, and Columbia, but by some unknown fatality it hat vacillated from one subordinate stage to another, till about two years since, when a num ber of enterprising gentlemen purchased a con iiucraoie ooay oi una in me mosi upprovca sit uution for a town, laid it out into lots of about two-thirds of an acre f.ch, divided by spacious streets, intersecting each other at riht angles ; the lotH were olTcrcd for sale : the public mind was fuliy appiiied of the advantages and ditad vantages of the place t their success in this spec ulation guarantees its permanence and prosper- itjr. Dining the tame year of the sJe a tobacco warelioue was erected, also ei(;ht or ten store houses, some of them two stories hien and very comprehensive, and several dwelling homes Simultaneous with these operations, In the public spirited exertions of a few individuals, si tain- boat company was formed, with a capital of be twecn 3U and 40,000 dollars : a veamboal of 40 horse power, and three sufficient tow b)ats were buitt and put into active -Mid profitable operation. 1 here is now between niiv and ont hundred per sons, including mechanics of uil kinds, fellers and better of timber, brick-makers, waggoners, &c actively emploed in renting 15 or 20 houses, stores and tenements of different kinds, inclu dine a spacious building for an academy. A venerable episcopal church,of more than 60 rears standing, overshadowed by its more ancient oaks, and surrounded by the tombs uf ages, lends a sacred, solemn grandeur to the southern entry of the village, which is already ornamented with a neat and'appropriate building; for-a social li brary, consisting of near 100 volumes of valua ble books. The advancement and commercial prosperity of Chatham depend on two principal evnt9the concentrating of a sufficient capital to invite the wandering trade of the upper Peedee country inJ North-Carolina, which is now diffused from Pe tersburg to Augusta, and fix h at this place, it natural emporium. -and the necessary improve ments in the navigation of the river, and such only as its importance entitles it to : let these events be accomplished, and Chatham will soon take its rank among the first interior towns of the southern states foa TBS WESTS C4B0M7U.

We all very well know the charm of first impressions, and how apt our reason and our reflertk:. are to surrender them selves to the evidence of the passions.

"wAsniKOTOsr,' At'oust l-From Ancostu ma we learn, by an arrival at Norfolk) that pro positions bad been Wade by the commander of the Spanish Royal rorces to the Congress of Co lomdi a, for the suspension of arms, tec. until af ter the result of the deliberation of the Cortes on the affairs of the Provinces should be known ; and that the proposition had been rejected on any other basis than the Sovereignty and lndcpen dence of Colombia." This is what mihthave been expected, from the intimations contained in the scrui-ofTicial articles re-published in this country from Venezuelian papers. There is some doubt on our minds, however, in what sense the Con gress speaks of the Independence ot Colombia. The Republic of Colombia, properly speaking, we know, embraces the two countries ol, Vcne zuela and New Grenada. .

If this consum mate politician's project ot bestriding the globe be persevered in, it is supposedand indeed has been pretty plainly hinted in the Aurora that no terms of peace for any part of South America v ill be listened to, unless they have for their ba sis the acknowledgment- by Spain of the inde pendence of all South. America. .Thi is indeed a great object ; but is it attainable I Tor the sake of bringing all the provinces under one head, would it be politic in any one of the governments which are eheady formed, that of Colombia, for example, to refute to receive an acknowledg ment of its separate independence ? Will the provinces of La Plata follow its example Their wars have not been made in alliance, and why should their pacification I Perhaps, however, it will be time enough to speak of the magnificent projects of the govern ment of ' Colombia, when we have more definite information respecting them. If wc correctly understand the object of the ambition of the leud ing men in the Republic of Colombia, it is ex ceeded in its magnificence of conception only by Dr. Thornton's celebrated plan of a federative gpvernment for the whole of the American con tinentthe seat of which, if we -recollect aright, wai lo be planted on the Isthmus of Daricn, and its wings to extend almost from pole to pole. - - . - Xat.
