TERMS: Two Dollar* per year, if paid in advance; Two Dollar* and Fifty Cent*, if paid in six months; or Three Dollars, if payment is delayed until the end of the year. These terms will be rigidly aecit'ul attention at least, is due. Ideas and opinions are as much and as naturally the forerunners of expression, as seed time is of harvest, and humble as the pretensions of the author may be, some thought might escape him, that others of more ability than himself could take up, unfold and improve upon resulting finaly, in great benefit to mankind. Beginings are usually small ; indeed, we may say in every thing that is or has been, there was a feebleness in it* begining, which should teach us to examine closely any now project before we reject or condemn it. Every good citizen is in a measure, * bound by bis relations to society to exercise his mind in looking out (or the ways and means of bettering himself, his family and hit fellow men. Though bis tribute be but a mite, lot him throw it into the common stock of a progressive age. When chance offers great things to attempt, we should, not let them pass, but lay bold of tbcm vigorously?but they are rare while less tilings are often seen and as mueh required as the greater, to make up the whole. With this preface, and with a sincere desire to bo useful, I submit what follows to my fellow citizens, asking them to discus* the matter (or themselves, uu>J consider it kindly toward* me.

If not so t audible from Deity, wo hear it from in- i tcrest, from nature's first law from the do- | I sire to provide for those dependent upon us, 1 and to enlarge our blessings, < Let our rivers be straightened?throw 1 all the water into one straight channel, < that it tnaj run off quick and wash out < U'H'p?thus securing their deltas free from I fr? shots, and you ojmmi up an immense t inn.c of agi'-altural wealth, which must add 1 to your capital, increase your productions ] and comforts, employ your labor and skill | to gi eater advantage, invite an increase ? and retain your present numbers?which if something is not done, must look out ' for other fields to operate in. To effect I this purpose, is worth an effort?for if we 1 losethem, we lose the essentials of strength, < capital and population?when the opposite course will encourage them to remain with their energies, means ami productions. Small streams are ditched drained and redrained, as we will see on almost every plantation?tlictt why not the rivers that are worth so much morel rrorn vjannjon tails to Snntee is about 40 mile*?the swamp will average at least two miles?many place* it is four mile* across?but say two mile* all the way ami you have eighty square mile* or uje warus, fifty one thousand acres of land, ot which there is not now under culture above 15,000 acres, thus adding 30,000 acres of new land; or say an increase of value on the whole of fc2*0 per acre, gives us 1,000,000. And this in a short distance of \Yutcrce ulonv, in the centre of the Slate, while there is Santee Congaree, the l'eo Dees, Lynches Creek, and several other streams adding in all, ten < r twenty timi** more. As we know more about \Vaterco River, and wfc we believe that no other would yield so much at so liltlo cxi>en*c, we can say more al?out it, and would respectfully ask particular attention to it, front Camden to Santee. In a strnight line, it is uliout forty inilcs?as it runs, 125 mile* or more. The fall 18 inches or more to the mile, as it could not run with less. Reduce the length to forty miles, and concentrate the fall, gives us five feet, and if the flow increases in propotion, it would run off in one day as much a* it runs now in one week, and the single channel give sufficient vent for all the water. The old rivcT l?eds could soon l>e plant- | mm! i* !' 1 ' g<**l for tit* Tlie Stat?' belief* ' to tli? people, an.l without the jwopV, it v Could not go on.

The crrps and stock lost in the last ten years would be a sufficient sum to pay for the work I propose. These lands are greatly nettled, for ' what was naturally fertile of the high lands, has become tuuch worn, w hile these lands once made free from freshets, are 1 almost invaluable, the quality of the soil being the very richest, ami lying so as ^ never to wear out, producing cotton,corn, I or small grain equal to any lands on earth. The great advantages would not l?e for a 1 few years only, or require a j>eriodioal ex- 1 pense to keep them up, as most improve- 1 incuts do, but they will tell and tell well ' lor all time to coiue.

Our State pride is proerbial. See how much has been spent n improving the navigation of our rivers, >y canals and clearing out obstructions. Vnd now, when they are made safer and >ctter than they ever were before, is ncary suj>erseded by railroads, which have alio been cherished into usefulness by the lid of public money. Besides, see what lio Stilt/* llflft trv ? ?1 ? ? ~ r.?v.^ | note the prosperity of her citizens ; rebuilt the city "of Charleston; built Hamburg; see her Atlantic steain navigation Company; her College, her Lunatic Asylum, her Hank of the State ami its branches; indeed her munificence has been ever on a liberal scale. No sectional interests are recognized. A long pursuit of this policy may eventually burthen posterity with our debts, and be it so, if wo put them in possession of ample means of payment, to which wo are prompted by every duty and worthy motive. Can it be possible that the great author of all ' things who placed these fertile lands where they are, did not intend them for the use of man ? They can he used and it becomes us to make an effort to appropriate them to our benefit; or shall they remain a wilderness or worse than a wilderness in our midst as it were to taunt us ? Shall we fold our arms and remain as we are; shall wo use no effort to make the waste places glad, the crooked paths I straight, to sot our houses in order, not to die but to live? Should I succeed in waking up my fellow citizens from their appnront apathy, to investigate inv preni ises and push their enquiries in search of j new scheme* of utility, I shall feel that I have boon the humble intrumont of doing ! great good. It is no labor, trouble, or expense, to join me in the project thus stated. These lands of'so little value now, should l?e rescued; it is desirable, and it is practicable Tukt> u common seuse view or any other view of it, and I fancy you will concur with inc. Mu?h has been written and said, and ninny plans and propositions offered and tried, of cheap and easy means of trnns{ ortation of our staple to market. What bring before you is of higher consideration, that is, increasing the great staple > itself. The work can be done by the planters i along the river and not by. northern con-1 tractors or emigrant laborers. It will not I require the outlay of a dollar, or employment of a man beyond the limit* of the State. On looking round for objections, but two present themselves. It may interfere with tho navigation of the river, which is is so slight now thnt river navigation is nearly abandoned, that no op|*osor would ! resort to that plea. The other, it would j interfere with individual boundaries, and, might cause confusion. Thero is some ! weight in this, but second reflection blows i it to tho winds; for where is the man who I would object to hnving tho value of his property increased flvo hundred per cent ? , If such an one can l>e found we would esteem him a brilliant specimen of the mo- i Jem eccentric. Tho great interest of South Carolina to which all others are at present merely subordinate, is tho planting interest; that is the head spring the main fountain of onr strength; and here, it may be, we j have committed an error in having plan- j ted too much, and pursued it to the exclusion of other callings. To trade and commerce, to shi|?s ami steam I oats, to banks, railroads, turnoikes ami lut.dv 1.1 ???!? roads, we have not been inert; ami in politics, State and national entirely too much time and talent have Wen expended, which has had the effect to put ns ahead in politics and t*ehind in almost Bvcrything else, but especially in domea lie industry aud enterprise, in which we liumbly confess that other and apparently less favored poitions of our country have jfained the advance on us. We liave lived too easy in the past for our present or future good ; we have not f nature.

Our Exchanges. Perhaps thorc could not be a more in-^ ?fh tercsting eliaptoi written, than ujk;ii tl e the B subject of the country newspapers. In j8 ,n(, point of energy there can be no cotnpari- yut ] son substituted between the country edi- whicl tor and he of the city. Whiie the one is liarm often necessitated to turn himself into the |], trinity of editor, compositor and devil, the , ttWar other is a kind of nabob, who writes off true, his "leader" and leaves the balance of his ft ^ great sheet to the labors of half a dozen i,orv? sub-editors. It often happens that while 1 uerV) the country editor is pulling away at his 1 press, or busily sticking types, that the with city editor is supping with his frieuds or rang else slumbering away the time. till tl We each day receive some thirtv or 1 . j , ? suim forty cxehnngo papers, from every section j(S VJ of this wide spread Union?from Maine Kpil* to.Florida, and thence to California.? j There is nothing which gives us greater t]lc ( pleasure than to skim over these papers? ll,0 ( for reading thein is out of the question? 1 the i to note the tune of their various editorials 1 pern The city editor writes like one who is aware qqie of his hold on the community, of the sta- i ;cate bility of his paper and the wealth of his ' the 1 office, while the country editor words his i,01u editorials like one who is still suspicious of future success, but re olved boldly to push his little bark onward till she reaches told the glorious haven of success, or swamps jrn?. in the trial. The country editor has none p\,jj of tho aids to success which attend the city 0f c< editor. lie has no presses propelled mar by steam and which work off' ten s|ay thousand copies per hour. lie has no f^tt corps of hands who can set up a column niL.? of matter "in eight minutes"?but almost "solitary and alone" he is necessitated to drudge away in his little office till his work has "dragged its slow length along" and his littlo form is on the press, lie alone . has his selections to make, his editorials to lB a whip into shape (and oftentimes his ad- a I versaries too) his types to set, his press to pull, his papers to mail and all through the assistance of one or two inefficient . devils. And then his own failure depends 'j"" upon contingencies which the city editor 1 does not experience. Almost every day ' ] wo receive a half shcot, and the tirst edi- ' torial we peruse reads somewhat thus: "Owing to the unprecedented fall of tho ' river we have beep enable to teeoiu* our mock or pap?r, and aro therefore obliged a to issue the Journal on a half sheet" Arc. ;UK' Again one of our valued little exchanges | n,WI which has w eekly came to us greeting our ' eyes like an old friend, suddenly di.-ap- ?088 pears from the galaxy of newspapers like "P1 the lost plcaid. l^xtt just as we begin to ^ s mourn the lost paper, again it appears * (more fortunate than its analogiotis oste- 1" roid) with the following editorial in large i tt,u' letters at tho top of the column: "\Ve j r''" congratulate our readers upon our re-ap pcaraucc, and we are now happy to state that the late unprecedented freshets hav- "j-11 ing subsided, we arc now in possession of i ie a tine stock of paper, and the Gazette will J ^ be interrupted no longer." M,n This, readers, is the public reason, but KIUC the true reason probably lies in part with 1 yourself, for the |*?or editor has toiled day j ]< and night to make l>oth ends meet, hut , visit thu dilatoriness of his patrons to remit the , lie ]>itUitice due him, compelled him to sus- cliil peml his little paper till lie could ride out , unti and collect enough to begin again. j tine IIow little do you know of tiie toils and wor vexation attendent upon the publication of : of 1 a country paper! Hut there is one thing bum which it gives us pleasure to sav. and n?.l which Is that many of our littlo country Ilnj exchanges, some of which are scarcely hn rem "eight by ten" often contain editorials j glat which wouhl do honor to the best leaders npa of tho mammoth city papers. We often leav get in their columns more genuine wit, , nps more good, hard sense, or philosophical est a views of matters and things in general, kin< than we can tlnd in the mammoths hnv were wo to search a year in the task. Mr. And then it is from these littlo papers . eng that we derive onr ideas of the bustling I occi thriving life, and the wealth of this teeming country of ours. We find that in tho J j middle of Illinois or Kentucky or Tonnes- ; y see or Arkansas, there is an endless re- ' .j|w source of wealth, and that talent of the I highest order is as indigenous there as in ! ( tho cities amid tho "Lyceuw" "Institut. s" (|) and "Collegcs^whieh so plentifully nlsmnd. Long life and great success to our country tM|)( brethren say we,?Munjthis Express.
