NATIONAL ROAD. . ' I have been, much gratified by the re- msrks which have been made In the Pre sident's. Message, and. the report of the SicreUry of Wii accompany Irtg. it, on the subject pf internal improvements, and the principles which have been adopted in carrying into effect the act of the 30th of April last, authorizing the President te cause tbe necessary surveys, pians ana es timates M tnadofc wch ;jwads.rnd canals as he may deem. of national Ira portance in a commercial or military point of-View, or necetwr; to the trant portatioa of tbe mail. One of tbe most important routes em brered iti these principles, I -conceive to be that for a durable road from the seat of Government to the city of New- Orleans; which, when executed, will greatly facilitate the operations of com merce between the Atlantic states and the great emporium of the west, by com municating more promptly,' and more certainly, commercial information be tween the Atlantie cities and that Impor tant point. It will also enable tbe gov ernment to hold a more prompt sod sure communication with the Important, but as yet feeble, section of tbe country lying on the Gulf of Mexico, which,Hn time of war, may be of tbe utmost consequence to its security. - t Between the Seat of Government and New-Orleans, three routes will present themselves for examination, each claim' ing certain advantages. Tbe one extend ine aloncr through the seata of the govern ments of the several southern states, and passing the principal rivers at the highest point where tide navigation ceases This route would pass, in Virginia, through Fredericksburgh, Richmond, Fe tcrsburci in North-Carolina, Warren ton,rRaleigh, Fayetteville in South-Caro lina Kershaw, Colombia, Hamburgh; MilledgevilUVm Geo. Cahaba, Ala. The htiddle route woutd pass east of the moun tains, taking the nearest direction favour able to the construction of the road, and probably pass through Danville, in Vir ginia, Salisbury, in North-Carolina ; from this last place, either by Llncolnton, dreenville.Pendleton, Athena in Georgia, or by Charlotte, York Court-House, Ab beville, in South-Carolina, Washington ine western route would enter, and pass along the great valley north of the Brar RJdg?,-v::Wjnchestc, S-Junton, AbMhgtonYltcT Each of these posteii certain advantage, and no doubt the Doacd oflnternal 1 mprovement will receive instructions toexsminethemall, and make a careful investigation ot their respective advantages. In the mean time. It would seem desi rable, for the information of the Board, that those who are most interested, and best acquainted with the. advantages of the several rootrs,- should comrnunicate, TreeTyT'afJ'he information In their pow er, to aid and .facilitate the survey of a route in which the government, as well as the several parts ot the country through which it may pass, has so great an inter est: arrius.
