'' O.nj the final settlement of iiisaccoun's we Hc not believe he will fall short $200,000. and he has property to a half a rnilliou to mtet it. He is expected buck in a lew! days, and we. are satisfied that rthe no verninent, and h'sjsureties will experiences no loss in the sequel.

From the F4yetteville Obyerter. The Cape Frar 'Ilver.-Wf. wVre struck w ith the remark in an article quot ed in our last from -the Salisbury Watch man, that the merchant in the interior were in the habit of hiiiing against the Cape Fear River until; they had procured loi it -'the name of a icet weather strer.m" It is very true that theCpe Fear, like all "therstreaitis fbtt weeivef heard -ol, is sub ject to ulteralians of flocid and drought. But if it be different Ifuiu o:her rivers in that respecr, the difference is in its favor. It is a fact we'll known; here, that streams which have their orijgin in our sand hills, are less a fleeted by by the droughl' oi summer, than those which have 'heir rise in a clay toil. Our sandhill springs never fail ? Aid though the Cape Fear has its 'source in the 'clay coun'ry, it is f d by the Little Rivera the Cross Creeks, the Riockfish Creeks, and others, w hich riseimong and flow through our stud, and are subject to but very slight diminution by drought. It may be in sonje measure owip to this fact, that during the present i senson, whilst not another river South or II est jrom the Ro a a o fee. in Virginia,to1he Missitsippi. in Lousianu. has been navigable, up to a few days past; for steam boals, the Cape pear has had uninterrupted tsteam boat naviga tion from the last of September to the pre sent time.. Let this fact be noted by all who are disposed lo under rate our own advnntaif1., and to swell the importance and feed the pride of our self sufficient neighbors. j J As regards the chirges upon our river, for freight, &c. it is Well kno-vn to the Iniercantie community that ihey are lesi than for the same distance upon any river, canal, or rail road, Sotitli of ihe Potomac, at least. No rail road can transport a bale of coit n 120 miles for; 50 cents, or a bar rel of flour for 25 cents, or a. to i of iron lor $3 50 j South Carolina Not s It fives us greal pleasure to tate,j tha;t tlie Branch of the Cape Fear Bank in ihis place h s resurmd its former custom of receiving South Carolina Bank Notes on deposit and payments, except! the notes of the Banks of Hamburg Georgetown, which are refused on account of the inconve nience of making collection! at those 'points.

The Bank had suspended specie payments c-'mfi-dence was deitroyi d and creait paralysed under such circumstances, our sojl'icafce ly free from the po'lution of -the enemy, and Congress decidex on taxing the peo ple to discharge the public deLt of two wars. For this purpose, the tariff of cfu-' ties of 1316 was adjusted and was grada-. ally increased up to 1828, -when the Bill properly denominated - iho Bill s of abominations" was passed, establishing a yet higher rate of duties and prospective,1 ly increasing it, , r In many insfinceg the tax "wbs s high as absolutely to prohibii the itnportatioti of articles of prime necc.-sity.
