EDWARD BRACE. Wasjiingtos. Mat 1, 1846. A respected correspondent addresses the Edi tors of this paper the following "hint," which cannot he better rendered to our readurs than in his own language : "The Editor of the 'Union' claims the final ac tion of Congress upon the queation of notice as a triumph of the Administration. He had labored hard to induce the House to pass a naked notice ; but tbe House having modified the resolution re ported by the Committee on Foreign Affairs in such a way as to rebuke the extreme ultra ground taken by the President and die Executive organ, ' the Editor, seeing that it was impossible to obtain a naked notice, cried ' Victory !' and, professing himself satisfied with the resolution of the House, directed his efforts to prevent further modification of the resolution in the Senate. The discussion bad lasted but a few days in the Senate before the President was compelled, by the force of .ea on addressed to an intelligent nation, to say to the Senate and country,' through bis friend Mr. Haywood, that he did not believe that all hope of compromise .was at an end, and that he was not prepared to plunge the nation into war for the whole of Oregon ; and that, if England would com promise upon the basis of the 49th degree of lat itade, he was ready. But all this did not satisfy the Senate, nor induce that body to give what the President was most anxious to obtain that Ja to say the House jeablut4ofl, If oothlngJsBtter could be had, but naked notice at ih thing most desired. -The Senate chose to instruct Him liter. . ally to' re-open negotiation, and to labor to settle tbe ditQcuhy by negotiation by a treaty upon tbe basis of Ihe 49th degree. " Never wa sn Administration more signally defeated and rebuked ; and yet theorgan jsejill crying 'Victory prictory !' i'hia bald hypocrisy ought lo be exposed, apdlhe idea constabtly and vigorously impressed upon , tha country that the Whig party, aided by tbe conservative Democrats, nave.

Iberefora hold -tnyseu ready, lance in rest," to meet any courteous Sir Knight in the field of discussion, on the subject of In ternal Improvement ; and, whilst the motto en graven upon our shield shall be Truth and Can dor, we may tilt at each other, and possibly awaken "Old Rip" to deed of usefulness, if not daring. The subject i generally interesting, aud important to 6ur State, and to trace die cause of our failures in works uf 'improvement in North Carolina to their legitimate source, may enable us to avoid future error. I feel satisfied that our State has been retarded in her improvements, owing to the system of humbug that has been practised upon her citizen by interested and misguided person. Witness the large sums of mosey expended in pretended improvements on tbe Yadkin, Neuse, Roanoke, die. &.c. In all these case, improvements (no- called) were commenced at the wrong end. The projectors of them put the eaftbefore tbe hbrse : they began at the heads of the rivers to improve downward ; and before they reached the half-way house their 'money was expended, and they had 10 atrip. Were it not a well attested -fact, we should be disposed to question the truth of such wild mistakes ; a every one, npon a moment s reflection, would say, begin at the head of perma nent navigation on the rivers, and improve up ; as every mile gained will bring us so much nearer , 1. .1 :. i . L : . . 'I' i . j . , I , 1. uiv ui-mriu uued. a lira mjivui uirguificu uio people, Rnd further operations were for a time discontinued! Tho neat fatal error was the ruinous invest ment of large sums of money for a Kail Road leading from our seat of government, Raleigh, to Ihe lowns'of a neighboring Slate ; the( design of Kliicli was to t ike from our own markets the produce of the State, and fix forever the vassalage of our citizens to the State of Virginia, What were its eU'ecla ! I will pass over the distress to individuals who were unfortunately too confid ing in the representations of'" practical men." and those who were to be benefitted mciimmuni lief ; but I cannot oniit to stale that the err was fatal to internal improvements generally in North Carolina. Our Legislature tud, with great liber ality and patriotism, onered to take three-fifths of the capital stock of a Road from Fayetteville to the western part of the Slats. The sighs of the misled aubacribers to the Raleign and . Gaston Rail Road, and the sympathies of their friends, were poured into the ears of our citizens, and all feared that defeat and ruin were the certain fruits of Rail Road Stocks ; and foit liltln pffiirt wm mado to meet this liberal otl'cf of the legislature. Doea the evil end here ? No : for wa are now told that the State of North Carolina must make the most she can' of tha Raloigh and Gaston Rail Road; that the stockholders although they pledged themselves by bonds and security, and in good faith as was supposed, will never bay one cent of the $800,000 which they borrowed on the credit of the State. The State now feels as did llia-Briu'sh Admiral, who, during the late' war, declared that he would be afraid to eat a Yankee potato, lest it should contain a torpedo. Another unfortunate error committed, was the construction of cheap Rail Roads. Tho iron put upon them was so thin ih-U they do not admit of heavy transportation, without serious- injury to Mo Koads ; consequently they require to be relaid with new iron of a more substantial form. This has led !o Ihe belief .that Rail Roads are un til for trade, and are only useful as means of transportation for passengers. And here 1 would sug-gest that, an patriots and lovers of the State, the sole object in this discussion should be the advancement of her true interests, regardless of local or sectional preferences. ,V has attacked my estimates of a Rail Road from Raleigh to Camden. I hope he has not been actuated by a disposition to distort facts ; yet Ihe inference might fairly be drawn. He sets-down the distance from Raleigh to Fayettcville at 50 miles, and invokes the aid of a "practical man" to assu-t ' him in constructing a Kail Road be tween the two places for $-100,000. It is per Cecily fair to distrust an.estiniate made upon false premises. A direct line from Raleigh to Fayette ville, measured nn the most accurate map, gives a distance ot-514 miles ; and in this direct line, beginning at Raleigh, you cross two branches of Walnut (.reek, two of Swift Lreek. four of Middle Creek, one of-Black Creek, Cape Fear River threo times, Upper Liltle River, two branches of Anderson's Creekand Lower Little River in all, sixteen water courses, besides a number of smaller streams not delineated on the map. Now, I would suppose that ho "practical man," acquainted in the least with the science of En gineering, would be so verdant as to run a Road so as to crops a large river, sur h as the Cape Fear, three times ( but He'would deflect to- the right or left, and se'lect some more favorable line. This would necessarily add to the distance. I think, therefore, that, for practical purposes, it would b(snfcr for any man of "practical" ekilLto put down diif ances a little over, rather than un der, the mark ; as, if he has had any practice snd experience in the construction of Rail. Roads, lie must know that stockholders prefer knowing the worst at once, than being imposed upon by false estimates. I do verily believe that this kind of humbug-has done mere to retard improvements in our State, than all the other causes combined. I would, therefore, Teepectfully suggest to "A."' and his "practical man," ts set down t he-distance to Fayet'eville at 60 milen. (The distance, by stage road, which is as direct as th face of the country will admit, is 62 miles ) Wiih 60 miles, therefore, which will come much nearer the trutb than 50, Treeommend to " A." and his "practical man" lo begin their estimates auew ; and, to aid them in their work, I have taken some pains to collect a tittle information, whtch fcs here offered for their sse. This estimate is based upon an iron rail of 50 lbs. to (be lineal yard, which is the lightest (hat experience has proved to be "useful. Ireo rail, for I mile, 50 lbs. te the yard, 76 4-T tons, ,at $75, 5,893 00 Proportion of de. for tarn-oute, - 100 00 4,589 lbs. east iron chairs, at 4 eft .

As regards the cost of the Raleigh and Gaston Road, and the Wilnalnetou Road, 1 ran see no hetf'mg they have uporr tha estimate of the cost of a connecting Irnk, except to sustain my estii mates of the eosfof-a Road through a hilly oun. 1 try. If J mistake not, the Raleigh aad Gaston Road was origioaliy estimated at 8800.000 ; bet it cost ver .tl.5O0,00a.- If,i tni mistaken. I would bsbffge !.,.'

The Raleieh and Gaston Road Of 6l mile's in length, at a cost of 91,500,000, would be equal to 117,047 per mile. And these Roads were con structed with iron of nearly the same weight ; if there j any difference, tite plate rati ornho Wil mington Road ia the heavest, , Now, with such arguments as these, I would ask if they do not sustain my estimate of xoatl It may be said that the VVilmlngtou Koad cost 9I,4Ul,lo(i .J True, but the balance Over the above was for steamboat, &cu &c.. And now that we have rotten through this comparison of cosrs, 1 would ask "A to take a map, and let us take a glance at the face of the country from Fayettaviue to Camden, S. C , in a ct i reel line. Leaving Jrayetteviile, we cross Ellis' Creek, Beaver Creek, Little Rockfjuh, two branches of Biir Rock fish, three of the Raft Swamp, two of Lumber River, one of Shoe Heel, two of Leith, two of Gum Swarhu, two of Boaver J IMin -Creek, one of I liree- Creeks, Great i'edes River, four branches of Cedftr Creek, two of Black Creek, two of Lynr.h's Crerk, one of another Black Creek, and two of Big Pine Tree making, in all, 31 streams through the hill country, where they make deep indentations. With these facts before " A" and his " practical man.," hope they will be candid enough to admit my former esti mate for 40 miles d this distance, with which. to close up my 100 miles south of Raleigh.. And 1 i . i V i . ... :r . t, -i nere again wun confidence repeat, mai a (van Road from Raleigh to Canulen will rather exceed than fall'short of 83.420,000, and that one can be constructed from VVilmitiglon for my former es- innate of U4'CU.()UU. And now would suggest a few questions to "A for lurrher discussion. First, suppose the citizens of Fayetteville should so far" forget their own interest as to lengue with the citizens ot Raleigh to destroy the Wilmington Rail' Road, and break down the Town of Wilmington, what equivalent is. h proposed -to offer ? How much of the Lumber, Timber and Naval Stores about which be talks so eloquently, will be carried op IJieJUatriipiililaii H.'ii Road? -A.'l wht tifite doe he propose rn pay the ciliaens of Cypher, land, Robeson aud Sampson, and other counties adjacent to ihe Cape Fear in Raleigh, for these important articlesof the trade of our State ! The people should be enlightened- before they are called upon to destroy ttieif present market towB, to build up tha Metropolis. And, secondly, I would ask, in case of a Fureign War, what ad vantages. to the" Stats of North Carolina hs this Metropolitan, Road offer over a route by Wilnting ton) If a Foreign enemy should invade the State, is it not likely that he would visit the sea coast before he reached the mountains? I have1 more questions to ask, but should like to have an an. swer to-these first. Casdob. HONORABLE- SENTIMENTS." In the Senate, when tbe- President' Message tb the House of Representatives, refusing the call of the House, for information a to the items of expenditure of the secret service fund, was spoken of, Mr. WestCott of Florida,, said : " I deem it my duty to say, that the imputa tions made against the late President and the dis tinguished Senator from Massachusetts jn refer ence to the use of this fund improperly, whilst the latter was Secretary of State, are slanders of the silliest and most pitlfuj character." Sir, said Mr. W. I will not as a Senator, by any vote of mine, permit any audi fugacious scandal against any high Executive officer of my country, of any political party, and especially against a citizen who stands as high before the world a does the Senator assailed, and .of whose reputation and fame abroad (opposed as I am to hin in political Opinion on almost every subject of parly contest) I, as an American feel proud I sy I will not consent that such jroueip shall be tha foundation of a call upon the I'w-sident, or any action what ever of this chamber." Gen. Cavkron. We find ihe following pithy note in a late Union ; To the Editor of the Union Sir : Not a"word of what is attributed by your reporter to mo. in' yesterday.'s debate, on printing the Patent Office report, was said by me, and all that I did say haa been omitted. I learu that what is said at my desk cftnnoi be heard in the reporters' gallery. I seldom have spoken, and have no ambition to be reported but I"will thank them not to. make a speech for me. I am very proud of the farm of my State, and I am mortified at being' made to. say that "the wonderful improvements in Agri culture in Pennsylvania have resulted from ihe Patent Office."
