' Love of country, patriotsm, and public
spirit, so commendable and manly, .are
but other terms for that divine injunction,
' Ixivc thy neighbor as thyself.'* And
tlicugh so liberally professed in every day
life amqpg men as right and proper, is
not practised j'ct more than it ought to Ik*.
Ami while it affords an excuse for so many
of our actions that a mere superiicial
observer might suppose its iuHueuce almost
universal, caudor coinireIs us to admit
that there arc occasional instances of
nakeil. undiiuriiiiUHl unllialiniuu ot.,1 ?.?
must believe in charity, that the majority
of men aim, with inore or less caniestnews
at the common good. All those who devote
their time to religion, politics, literature
or professional calling*, obviously
tend that wav. *
At the public good we aim, ia so fronenti
n expression, that we may consider it
almost every man's motto. Therefore,
when we apeak out our reflections and
call upon all concerned for a hearing,
rv?|>ecit'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.

would, and what duty to ourselves requi- ii

sake and the sake of those who are to come v
after us, if we wish to improve our cdnili- il
tion by using our resources or even main- v
tain our present standing before the i
I U'oelil *
Union or disunion, secession or submiss- i
ion, this is our present homo ; here wo I
find our lot* cast; here our abiding place. 1
And the Mighty Maker'* command to s
Adam in Eden to subdue, to dress and to t
keep it is a command to us. 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.

necessity would compel a movement to- j a

himself aangui ue on the subject it presents v
itself aa a cheap means of nearly doubling a
the wealth of the Mtate. d
It may meet the common cry of hum- j
ca,?ttie creeks, lakes, and poiuls could l>e
drained by ditcher into tbc deepeud olian- j
nel, and all or nearly all rendered secure
from overflow of water, which has been so
frequently the last few years as to discourage
the few that plant them. 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. ' ]

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 <J*ed
?ur birth-right to the greatest advantage,

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.
