From Raleigh to Haywood, the line would cross but one small stream Deiore reacninjr tne ape rear, viz: Shaddox Run, near the River. Haywood is well situated lor a Depot, and the products ofthe fertile vallies of Deep and Haw Rivers would be brought to the Road at that point. Chatham is ' one of the richest counties in North -Carolina, and would fur nish a large amount of freight for the Road.

This estimate ol the annual dividend ol the Company is large enough to satisfy any one, seeking a profitable invest ment of capital : and yet there is not an individual, who has taken any pains to inform jhimself on the subject, who does not teel well assured that the amount ot travel on a Koad from Raleigh to Augusta, the basis of this estimate. will greatly exceed that taken as And when we reflect that every five additional Passengers jwill add 2 percent, to the annual ICS. ,. . t , : ji a Art dince.bov. this place, oa Deep River, .he,e i.'"! " of travel is SOci, as to baffle all calculation. Any one who had predicted its present V a 1 1 N to bea rich deposit of Coal and Iron, which may, at some future period, be worked to advantage. If the trade from this point goes to Petersburg and Norfolk, it will pass over thirty miles of our Road ; and, if it goes to Fayetteville, it will pass over a still greater distance on the Road, to the junction of this with the Fayetteville and Western Road. In either event, ;it will contribute to swell the income of the Raleigh and Co lumbia Rail Road. Leaving Deep River, the line will ascend, with moderate grades, the jridge between the waters of BuflTaloe and those of ' Lick Creek, and passing hear the heads of Big and Little v Bunaloe, will run to or near Carthage, lhe portion5 ot this . T !! ' .1 fill. line, near the Cape rear, win De verv cheap, ine son is light and sandy, and, as you get farther from the River, it be comes almost pure sand all the way to Carthage. The whole extent ot this part of the line is through a body of the finest V " heart Pine. This timber will scarcely have to be transport i ed a hundred yards, in any place, to construct the Road. Although this line runs through a sandy, barren region, there is a fertile country a few miles west of it, all the way. At Carthage it i3 probable, the Fayetteville and Western Road would be intersected. After passing Carthage, the route follows the Road known as theOld Jury Road, to Munroe's Mills; on Drowning Creek. Then it crosses Naked Creek and bears Eastwardly, so as to crosslhe heads of Hitchcock Creek, and runs through or a ; little East of Rockingham. But before deciding ottthis part ' ; of lhe route, Drowning Creek should be examined from the .point mentioned, down to Graham's Bridge. The crossing at Munroe's, Mill would be an expensive one ; but it is pro bable, a much better one could be found. From some point : between Drowning Creek and Rockingham, to Cheraw, two routes should be examined the one, passing East of Rock--ingham and running down the Sanlhil Road to Cheraw the f other, running down Hie valley of Hitchcock Creek to near V the Pedee, and then keeping near the River to Cheraw. This : last was not examined. 1 must remark, that although I saw enough to satisfy me that a good line could be obtained, thro' out this distance, from Carlhage to Cheraw, my time was too limited .to allow me to trace a continuous one. The crossing of the Pedee at Cheraw would be favorable. The soil from Carthage to Cheraw is the same as that betweensCarthage and Cape Fear, and the timber equally abundant. Produce would ;be carried to Cheraw from the greater part of Richmond coun ty, and from the Southern part of the county, Lumber mMit ' be carried. , .

The character of the Stage Road between Cheraw and Cam. den had caused serious apprehensions to be felt of the diffi- . culty of constructing a Rau Road between these points. It ;. w was therefore deemed advisable, to examine this portion of inc line with some care. Alter a careiui examination, how- fyer, it was found that a very good line could be obtained. . ) ' The one traced, after leaving Cheraw, would cross Thompl son's Creek below Purvis' Bridge; thence, takius a favornhU j .point to cross the high ground and get over into the valley of 4uuici, ii wumu run up said valley to uampDelrs Mill cross Juniper at Campbell's Mill and running up the east side, cross tlw Stage Road at McMillan's thence to the v .head of Jumper, at Roderick McKinnon's.

Following up this valley is far as ssible, and cutting through the dividing ridgi the line should stnke the head of Cedar Creek.

A goodn X feST otlie mourn of fifaver liain, on W I Cr"kv rtc ,,neould cross at the mouth, or at " 11?"? ' Fr?,n th,?.P?t, there is a well defined ridge, dividing the waters which run into Saunders' Creek follow this ridge into Camden, through Kirkwood! ' ' -: in this distance, tliere wnnlfl K ,i;ffi...u4. amount, even ten years ago, would have been thought a mad man. But the present ttnount will bear no proportion to that which will be created, bythe existence of a Rail R6ad com munication from North to South. No other route can ever compete with this for the Northern and Soutliern travel. Any line, West of this, passing thro' the Mountainous parts ofithe country, would be much more expensive, and would bejmore subject to delays from Snow and Ice-i-circutnstances which would effectually prevent it from competing successfully with the Metropolitan line.' Any Road, East of this, must pfiss through a very sickly country ; and, other things being equal, Passengers will always pre fer a healthy route. 1 This would be the shortest line between Augusta, in Geor gia, and the City of New York would pass the w hole way through a dry, elevated anil healthy country, and would con nect most of the Atlantic towns and Cities of the Union.; Four of these are the Capijtals of South Carolina, North Car olina, Virginia and the United States. Everyone of these pla ces, from; Augusta to New York, is interested in the comple tion of this grand chain of Rail Roads. Every individual, owning a-share of stock in! any part of this line, is more or less interested in the completion ofthe whole. The strongest possible proof that the Metropolitan line is the natural and legitimate! channel ofthe travel, is the fact, that, without any general plan, link after link, of the great chain has1 been made, as the wants of the community required them, "there has been u) forcing the work has grown out of the necessities of the public, almost by magicj so that, at . 111, i" it this moment, scarcely eight years horn the commencement of the first link, the whole chain is on the eve of completion from the Roanoke River to the City of Boston. But the Raleigh and Columbia Road has stronger claims to the patronage of the country through which it passes. To the whole of: this country, it will' impart a life and prosperity, which will do more than jany thing else to check the tide of emigration, which is depopulating our land. The amount of money which must be spent in constructing the Road, and scattered through the country in its vicinity, is not an unim portant matter. But thisi consideration is of small moment, compared to the permanent enhancement of the value of property. Every man will have a market brought to hjs own door, and the immense Pne Forests, nw valued at 10 cents peracrei will become sources of wealth. The citizens of this country must be blind indeed, if they do not make every ex ertion to aid the work, j In a political point of view, this work is calculated to have the happiest possible effect. Nothing which could be inven ted by man, would have a more powerful influence in preser ving the?Union, and at the same lime, securing protection to Southerb Institutions. I:n the first place, free intercourse between-jthe North and South would, by making us better ac quainted with each otheifs real character, tend to promote good feeling. No one evpr knew a citizen of the North who entertained Abolition principles after becoming well acquain ted with; the true situation of the South. This is so much of a national Work, that there is every reason to expect North ern capitalists to make investments in it. And, inasmuch, as the value of the Stock is, in some measure, dependent on the continuance of the present state of thing3, each North ern Stockholder w ill be (from interest) a supporter of South ern Institutions, as the only means of preserving the Union. The same considerations must influence, more or less, the Stockholders in every Road constituting a part of the entire chain. t . Witlregard to the effect of this Road on otheVs, it would be scarcely possible, in this age of Internal Improvements, to devise any useful scheme bf the sort which would not conflict with some other. But I believe that this will be found on examination, to affect injuriously the interest of as few other works as any which is now before the public. All the Geor gia Roads, communicating with Augusta, and indeed, every Road south of Columbia, will be benefitted. The travel on the Charleston and Cincinnati Road will be greatly increased by the existence of this wrk. The scheme contemplated by Cheraw, as faras it is at ill affected, will be benefitted The rajeuevuia ana Western Koad -will not be injured. wk wouw ensure the- completion of ! YV-ksmireTOir, N. C, Mach 4. - DreXdful Conflagration! On Tues day miming last, about three o'clock, our citizens were roused from their slumbers by theiringing of the bells, accompanied with cHes otFire.' The fire originated on the! Wharf of Mr. Jos. Potts, Merch ant ofjthis place, in the very heaft of the business section of the Town. ., I hose arnuatnled with the trade of our place, know that it is chiefly in Naval Stores the most combustible of all articles.' At this time, a very uuusual quantitjr had accumulated on the Wharves in conse quence of a late scarcity of Vesselsi The wind ioo, blew from the River directly in to the; thickest part of the town. Under these ! circumstances, .every one appre hended the most extensive mischief j and we regret to add, the worst apprehensions were fealized by the result. More than one half of the business part of the town is now in ashes. The most active and unremitting exertions were made to; arrest the ravages of the fearful element, jbu.t it defied, lor a long time, all effort. The three jEngines were all inactive employ ment,; and house after house was blown up. To tliie credit of our" citizens it may be said, that none withheld their services on this terrifying' occasion, and the proprie tors of the houses in the scope of the fire' readily devoted them to destruction by powder, when it promised to serve the general good. So unselfish was the gene ral feeling, that Stores, were blown'up full of Goods. It is impossible to estimate, with any degree of exactness, the amount of the loss ; but it may safely be stated as not less than one hundred thousand dollars. The Warehouses were stored, as usual at this season of the year, heavily with Bacon and Corn, and a great amount of rich Merchandize was consumed in the Store houses. Much too of costly Furniture was burnt, and as much destroyed in the hurry of removal. All that part of Main-street, reaching from Mr. Potts' Store to the house used: for a Banking -House by the Branch ofthe Cape Fear Bank in this town, and including both, was consumed. Both sides ot the street shared the same fate- nut one house is left. The costliest merchandize was Scattered in all directions. The crack ling bf the flames, the noise of the Engines, the explosions of houses, the cries of the citizens, all created a scene baffling de scription. All felt alarmed--none safe. Men! ran to and fro, anxious to be useful, but Hsmorant of the way. In this, as in all like bases, much individual distress vyill be felt.; Many who were rich yesterday, are poor: to day. Some are houseless but such: is the sympathy for the sufterers, that none are homeless. It is not unusual that a calamity like this,(one to which all 'owns are subject.) should be mitigated by the charitable relief of other towns and cities. We iare not among the sufferers, and there fore not interested in saying, that there are many among them whose condition appeals strongly to the public sympathy. We subjoin the following list of sufferers : Samuel R. Fowle, Joseph Potts, B. M. Selby, George Sanders, B. F- Havens, Mrs Oliver, Barnes &Ketcham, John Tay lorr John R- Carmer, L. B. Myers, Mrs. Pearce, Joshua Tayloe, Eli Hoyt, ,R. H. Bonner, A. P. Neale, Joseph Morse, E. F. Holines, Miss Mary Condry, John Prime, Thomas A. Demill, John Orkney, M. H. McCullough, S. D. Owens, Mr. Morris, T. of our population is composed of pcpple who cultivate tneirown sont owe nuueui, and life within their means. This is a class which cannot be reduced to bank ruptcy by a money pressure. They are beyond itsinfluence. We think, there fore, that North-Carolina will be more slightly affected by the impending cala mity, than any State in the Union. We find in these considerations new motives for clinging to the old North Slate. She is equally exempt from the Lynch law of the South and the Mob law of the North. She has no gamblers to hang up under the former, nor starving beggars to sack and pillage in the face of day, by virtue of the latter. Her weal thiest men are not driven to the expedi ent of sustaining their credit by paying the ruinous rate of 25 or 30 per cent, a year for money. And whilst hermore boastful brethren Iroin the LI Dorado or the South are permitting their paper to return dishonored, and thereby contri buting to the general ruin,, ber people have the high praise accorded them of meeting their engagements with honora ble promptitude. We are assured, that the credit of no State in the Union sfands higher in New-York, than that of North Carolina. Again we say, give us the old North State yet. We would not exchange her, with all her faults, for any other mother. FayeltevUle Obs. (Better blood than many Imported.) topHiS finebreilSon L ofOldSirArcHy will cover Mares th;.' W. Patrick. Whig. Surplus Revenue. Our Senators in Congress, the great advocates of the right of instruction, both voted against Mr. Bell's amendment to the Fortification Bill for distributing the Surplus Reven ue amongst the States, notwithstanding it wias known to be the wish of their con stituents. Thus we see how far they ad here to the right of instruction. We doubt not that they consider themselves secure, in the belief that before their present terras of service expire, their vote on thisj subject will be forgotten. But in this j we trust they may be mistaken ; the people of North Carolina can never over look an act so inimical to their interest; they cannot forget those who have so wantonly sported with their rights, in sucli direct and open violation of their knoivn will, by hoarding up a surplus in the yaults ot the public Treasury, and re fusing to return it to the people, from whom it was collected and to whom it justly belongs, without any plausible ex cuse whatever, except it be to effect some pariy purpose. We had hoped that the days of party strife were over, and that those in power, having effected their great object, would, have been content there with, and have paid some regard to the rights of the people, but in this alas! we have been mistaken, and the only hope we have left, is, that the people know their rights, and will teach their States men, how dangerous it is to disregard them. liulherfbrd Gazette. The sad reversesln the pecuniary state of the country, which have already hap pened both North and South of us, and the janticipalion of the bursting of the dark cloud which yet hovers over them, whilst it enlists all the svmpalhies' of the people of North-Carolina, is calculated to inspire feelings of comparative con tentment in their minds. Happily ex empt from that wild spirit of speculation which -has prevailed to so criminal an ex tentjboth at the North and South, we pre sume there is no Stale in the; Union whoie people are so free from debt, or a inongst whom there is so much substan tial peallh.

Season, which h,, commenced, at my Stable 14 miles K We take pleasure in presenting to our readers in to-day's paper, an extract from the very able Speech delivered by James W. Bryan, of Carteret county, at a Pub lic Dinner given him by the citizens of Beaufort, on the 17th February last, as a testimonial of their respect and grati tude for his public services. Much of Mr. B's Speech was confined to the sub ject of the Charleston and Cincinnati Rail, Road, and an exposition of the rea sons which influenced his vote in confer ring Banking Privileges on the Company. The whole of his Speech from beginning to end was characterized by those high and statesman-like motives which should influence the conduct of every Legisla tor in the discharge of his public duties, and the able support he gave that mea sure at - the past session of our Legisla ture, should operate as a rebuke on those of the Eastern delegation who opposed on sectional grounds alone, a scheme of Internal Improvement, in the success of which the whole South is so-deeply inte rested, and from which our own State must derive such signal benefits. It has been a source of melancholy reflection, that the citizens of our State should suf fer these paltry sectional prejudices to bias their minds, and urge them to throw obstacles in the way of works of Inter nal Improvement, by the accomplishment of which, the honor and prosperity of the State might be so evidently advanced. It is to such grovelling considerations, that the comparative inferiority of North Carolina, in works of a public nature, is mainly attributable. It is by this spirit of jealousy and distrust, which hitherto has existed between different sections, that her progress in every thing calcula ted to reflect honor and credit on her as a State, has been retarded. It is by this illiberal spirit which has heretofore mark ed her legislative councils, that the en ergies of her people have been cramped, and the immense advantages, which she has inherited from nature, suffered to lie unimproved. It is only necessary that her citizens should awaken from their a pathy, and adopt the liberal policy going on in other States around them,' to raise her to that elevated rank among her sis ter States to which nature has entitled her. We hail the liberality of the past Legislature as the harbinger of better days to the old North State, and will not suffer ourselves to believe that her citi zens will refuse its proffered assistance by a want of public spirit on their part, to contribute their efforts to the advance ment of Internal Improvement within her borders. --Rutherfordion Gazette East of-Kaleijfh, 27 N.
