U Which thy undrrstocl had recent,
t been made on it between Hay wo-anj,
L rastor.ush-a part of. the B.r h.ch
W heretofore presented almosfinsqper
,L dUBcH' to nation; For th.s
rr)e, his Excellency Governor Owen,
S? rSin, one W tfe Members oMhe
nld, and the Secretary, .leftthe r.,y
MonJay last for Hay wrfd, where they
nected to meet Col. Cadw. Jones, ano
ther Member of the B-.ard- In this, they
Were dppmte4;,but they met Mr.
MebanAtheSupertendanto theorks
en the fever andlthe Pres.dent of the
Cape Fear Navigation Company. Mr
Bvlan and Mr, Mendenhall, Directors of
the CompanyV Professor Mitchell, of our
Uaiversity, and Mr. Keene, the Pnnc
pal Operator on the River. On Tuesday
morning, these gentlemen proceeoed
a(,n the RWer in one of the Company s
boits. acconu.anie.1 by seveV of the
neiihbering planters ; and there being no
-. i. ...,-,;n in the River for ten miles,
thej had a pleasant passage to the tlaro
across it near Buckliorn Falls- The
xhm untkrwent examination and was
found to need some inconsiderable re
pairs. The boat then entered an outlet
from the Rifrer which leads td the Buck-
1.1 u V- i -
liorn Canal. The River being low, Mr.
Keene-had some fears that it would not
be found sufficient, to carry the boat
through the Locks ; but the event proved
his fears groundless, as the boat passed
them without difficu)ty- And when it a
jrain entered the River, it met with but
few obstructions? It had indeed to pass
a number of inconsiderable falls, and
some very shoal places ; but from the
sluices cut through the former, and the
activity of the hand3 in managing the
boat oyer the latter, but little inconveni
ence wassustained from either.
When the boat reached M'Neill's ferry,
which is just above the most serious falls
in the River, several substantial planters
were waiting to enter the boat, which
jobn after reached Smilie's Falls, five
mites in length, and the (difficulties
attending She passage of which having
often been noticed, it was apprehended
some impediments, might still remain (a
bout thirty hands being at work upon them)
but no difficulties were experienced, as
by blasting and other means, every ob-
Istruction appeared to be removed. Some
of the sluices wereof considerable length,
and ' the , water run through them very
rapidly ; but the boat passed with great
ease, and in perfect safety Along the
sideof these long Sluices are erected sub
stantial Stone Walls, which serve fbr towing-paths
to the ascending boats. Nor Is
the difficulty of ascending these rapid
Sluices so great as might be apprehended.
About double tjie time is required for as
cending the river, that is necessary for de
scending it but no additional hands are
employed, though time was taken to exa
mine ike Work done in every part of the
'.River, the'lidat i;cacheif Averaqtro' on the
Second da at an early hour in the after-
noon.
Much pleased with their trip, and espe
cially w'rtli the zeal and intelligence jvith
fwhich the' Work on the River had been
conducledrit appeared to be the general
sentiment of all present, and especially
of those who resided on the River,and Were
of course the best judges, that nothing
'short of a correct experimental acqua:nt
?ince with business of this kind, connect
ed with great personal industry, could
have effected' so wohderful a change in
I the 'River; and we believe, that too much
praise cannot be bestowed on Mr. Mebane
as the Superintendent of the Works, and
on Mr. Keene as the Principal Operator.
The Members of the. Board for Internal
Improvenients,anVt' the Members of the
Caoi Fear - Navigation: Cnnanv, though
it was understood there was little or no
difficulty in the navigation below Averas
borougHi continue(l tieir?route on Thurs
'iny tnorning in the boat to Fayetteville,
and arrived there in safety that evening.
As soon as it shall be generally known
that there is a good navigation opened be
tween Haywood and Fayetteville, there
is no doubt that the planters within a rea
sftnabltrtlistance from thelSver.. will a-
ad themselves of this easy mode of send-
mg-ineir crops to market. ' Whether, the
boating will be h p.nriflllr fori Ktr rsiaccrknu

little expenencp will show. We should
think, iliat persons making a business of
boating, jwduld be become better acquaint
ed withvery part of the River than others,
and wotrld notJoffcoiirse, be so liable to
accidents, as Jhaftds who hat but little
knowledge of such business. !
It is expected that Mr. Keene will
complete his Work on Cape Fear during
the present Summer. If so, we hope
something will bejdorie by our! next Le
gislature to engage his services on some o
ther of our Rivers.. We have no longer
any doubt that the Falls in Neuse River
could readily be overcome by Slillici,
and at a comparatively small expence.
And we believe that the falls in all our
Rivers could Be made navigable in the
same way.

Wre have pleasure in stating to our
readers, that Congress has appropriated at
its late session, S25,000 more for tlie
completion of the wot ks on Cape Fear ber
low Wilmington, and procuring a Steam
Engine of greater power than that at
present employed in the Dredging Ma
chine, which Capt. Blaney has found in
sufficient. I ' . -e-We
are requested to announce Na
thaniel & Rand Esq. as a candidate to
represent this county in the House of
Commons pf the next General Assembly.
The Bank of Cape Fear, will not make
any Dividend for the last six months-
Congress. We have just received an
account of the closing proceedings of Con
gress which are very interesting. Of
the business transacted in both Houses,
the Intelligencer gives a particular ac
count and we draw pretty copiously jjpn
that print- for the condensed statement
1
which follows :
The President has put his veto on ano
ther bill 'authorizing a subscription of
stock in the Washington Turnpike Road
Company He refers for his reasons to
his message on the Maysville bill. It is
said however, that the subtle distinctions
taken in the Message rejecting the Maifs-
ville Road bill .ire not by possibility ap
plicable to the! Washington and Freder
ick Road, as the latter is palpably a part
of the great communication between the
neighboring section 1 of the country and
the waters of the Mississippi The bill
on the face of jt was national'
The administration, so says, the Intel
ligencer, is considered by the rejection of
this bill, to haVe taken decided ground
against internal Improvement.
The President has retained for further
consideration, the bills' which : passed, the
House on Saturday night, making addi
tional appropriation for the Louisville &
Portland Canal and for thel erection of
Light Houses, buoys &c. This -course
the Intelligencer says, is believed to be
without precedent- The Editors say, that
they have looked into the Constitution,
and suppose that, from its phraseology, if
the -President shall at any time hereafter,
during his Prcsidmn..$gn these bills, they
will become laws. Such was certainly
not the ftitention of the Constitution
nor do we su ppose it is the intention of the
President to retain these bills beyond the
time necessary for their due consideration.
One of the bills is of a description which
has annually received the sanction of all
the branches of the Government for these
many years past, and in which, in the
present instance, although the aggregate
amount involved rs not large, twenty of
the Stales of this Union, "besides the Terri
tories, are more or less interested- The
determination of the President in regard
to these three last bills produced more
sensation than any thing that usually
occurs at the 1 close of a session of Con-
gress. j
In returning to the House, one of the
bills which had been sent to hi in for ap
proval, the President accompanied it with
the following Message.
GRKTLEMXif have approved and signed the
bill entitled An act making appropmtions for
examinations and surveys, and also' for certain
wortr of tiMernal Improvement bdt as the
phraseology of.the section which appropriates
the sum of eight thousand dollars frornthe roa'd
trbm Detroit to Chicago, may.be construed tto
Authorize the application of the approbation for

Some suppose, that this qualification
may affect the construction of the part of
trie bill to which ft refers.' This idea,
however must be erroneous ; as it is pal
pably contrary to the ggnius of the Con
stitut'ron, that the President shall make
(by construing) the laws, and then exe
cute them. s The law must be judged bv
its terms, and not by the President's
mental reservation in signing it.
The House of Representatives yery
properly restored among their last acts,
the office of Draughtsman and thus de
stroyed the only memorial of Retrench'
merit which the present administration has
furnished. And this instance, like the
whole system of Jackson retrenchment,
vvas fallacious. The National Journal
says, the office is necelsary the salary is
Sl500and the debate on abolishing it, cost
the nation 810,000 I
The bill providing for the adjustment
in part of the long contested claim of the
State of Massachusetts, for services ren
dered by the Militia during the war of
1812-15, which passed the Senate some
time ago, passed the House of Represen
tatives by a vote of 83 to 21, artd is a law,
Virgil Maxcy was nominated by the
President to the office of Solicitor of the
Treasury, which has just beert created,
and the nomination confirmed without op
position. IVJiarton Rector recently nominated as
Indian Agent, and rejected, having been
re-nominated by the President was again
rejected on Saturday night.
Daniel Broadhead (son of the Repre
sentative from Nesv-Hampshire of the
same name) is to be Navy Agent at Boston,
in the place of Mr. Harris, reformed.

Mutability. Ach'iHe Murat is Postmas

was received at New-York, from him
franked by virtue of his office. It is men

a foreign Prince residing in this countrv
fulfilling the humble duties of a village
Postnlaster. His father was one of the
most Splendid rockets, which Napoleon
Bonaparte ever elevated to astonish the
world. He married him to his favorite
sister, but he was hurled from his high
station and died a victim to his own ill

A Counterfeiter. A man named Jnna
than Lewis, formerly of Springfield, Mas.
gunsmith and machinist, was arrested a
few days ag(, in Montgomery, by Jno., M.
AJ.Ien, Esq.' Sheriff of that county. He
I was brought to this town oil Sunday last,
and on Monday underwent a long exami

of counterfeiting U. S. Bank draftt.

counties in this State, and Fairfield dis

pected of a connection with a numerous

twice before been arrested on a similar
charge, on one of which occasions, seve

notes, and a small' box of printing ink.
were found in his possession. After the

directly home ; and a servant seeing the
horse arrive Avith the bridU across its
neck, thought it had left his master, and
accordingly rode it back. sTh,e people at
once' apprehended what might have taken
place, and an immediate search was
made ; the body was found some fifty or
sixty vards below the ford, lodged against
a fishdam, entirely lifeless-r Dills. Rec
Melancholy I We learn, that Jos. Wil
son, of Mon'gomerv county, while under
the influence of mental derangement, hung
his wife to a sapling, in the woods!, near
his house ; when found by the neighbors,
shp was entirely dead. Wilsou made off
with himself, and at last advices, had not
been taken- Mrs. Wilson was about SO
years old. and has left a number of chil
dren. We learn that she had left her
husband several times, during his crazy
fits ; but in this fatal instance, it would
seem that he was more self possessed than
usual on such occasions; it is thought
that he. must have decoyed his wife into
the woods, and knocked her down before
hanging her up to the tree If est. Caro.
It was doubted, for some time, whether
the President would sign the Joint Reso
lution, explanatory of the act concerning
the pay of the officers of 'the Marine
Corps- The doubt was ended by the bill
being returned with his signature, on Sat
urday, but accompanied by a Message,
stating, in substance, that, as the esti
mates for the' naval service had been
founded upon the new constructibn of thei
iaw, an additional appropriation was ren-
dered necessary to carry the Joint Reso
lution into effect. A bill making such an
appropriation was accordingly reported
by the Committee of Ways and Means,
but, in the hurry and rush of business, it
was impossible .to get it considered 5 and
it is now too late to act upon it. So that,
until the next session, either the Depart
