T is a circumstance of no small impot -?-portance to the citizens of this Slate to have a convenient and healthy situation, to which they can have access during the Summer? d Autumnal montlis. The Bradford Springj jit this time* ex. hibil such a situation. The buildi }-;s, here, are capacious i*od convenient; a;*i are as well calculated for the accommoua tion of the delicate and intii those who are in search of pleasure. The situation is, probably, one of tlie most eligible that this country afi'o rds The elevation is considerably ubo\e tne common level of ti\e surface. The ris and declivity ot the hiil is gradual, and rr. ~gufor: and us summit smooth and un broken. The Springs empty cut of tne basis of the hilt, at different apertures where itiibruhtly breaks otty in anwrsk T perpendicular descent. The water is a strong mineral. It is transparent and palatable. The ingredi ents which form the composition of thU mineral, have not yet been accurately as certained by chymical analysis. A fe* individuals have annually visited those Springs, and those alone, can form an ad equate idea of the advantage which results from attending them. The ruinous condition of the buildings in all probability, and the want of accom modation has, hitherto, prevented a num ber of pel sons from attending these Springs. But the subscriber flatters himself that b? is now, well pre pare fl for the-po ommoda tion of h uumber of persons. And he pledges himself to spare no exertions to render the situation of all those who attend these Springs both comfortable and agree able. Horace W. Bronson.

There is only occasion to examine the situ ation of these p.aces to be convinced of this fact. It is generally k^nown thai tluee fourths of the produce that now goes to Fayette\iile, is raised on the Pee Dee and westot it, and as Chatham is situated but very little south of wtst of Faycttevilie* the tonner will have a fair opportunity of being as good a market, at least, and that seventy miies nearer. The fact is also evident that at least one million worth of produce, from the borders and west of Pee Dee, finds its way to Petersburg, but which will al*?o naturally go to Chatham for a market* Exclusive of this, there aie 3'5,0U0 Hales of cotton made within a circumference of 30 miles from this tow , tttid the articles of cotton, Tobacco, Flour, Wheat, cum, Flaxseed, and all kinds of produce, w ill go to Chatham for a market, lor the reasons mentioned above.
