debts, under tire insolvent law, pass
ed in 1813. i&lying upon the Late
decision of Hie Supreme Court of
th? United States, that state insol
vent laws could only have the effect
to exempt the body from imprison
fncrat, but not the property sabsc
qnently acquired, the plaintiff took
out an execution against the goods,
and this was a motion on the part of
the defend ant in the court, below, for
relief. The question submitted to
the court, and argued, at great length,
ft>y the counsel on tbotli sides, was,
whether the original contract, being
made after the passing of the state
insolvent law, vas not made with ao
implied reference to it as ode of the
existing laws of, the state, and sub*
ject to be controlled by it accordingly?
The court was of opinion in tlie af
firmative, and ordered the execution
to be discharged. *
Another question of scarcely less
interest, was argued by the same
counsel, viz: w bat woukl be the
law in a case wlteia Hie debt was
contracted previous to the insolvent
act; but on this no opinion was
given. Emmet, for the creditors;

WASHINGTON, MAY 19.
There lias been a vague and very
idle rumor in circulation, affecting the
solvency of the State Uank of North
Carolina. The rumor, we have as
certained, is not only false, but with
out a shadow of foundation. This
i* one of the strongest Banks in the
Union ; and when that Bank fails to

Extract to the Editor of the Baltimore
Patriot, dated Havana, Mat) 3. .
" Dear Sir.?1 have this day nco
in a Kingston (Jam.) |>aper of the
21st ult. a detailed account brought
there by the British brig of war Par
thian, of the capture of Puerto Bello
on the 7th, by Sir Gregor McGre
gor, with ahoat three hundred troops
and six or seven sail of veiaels.-?
There appears to have bean little or
no resistance, and a government had
already been established satisfactory
to the citiaeus generally, under a
General Lopez. The opinion gen
erally prevalent at Puerto Bello,
was that Chagres would also (all in
to the bands of the Independents;
and that Sir Gregor was in expecta
Jion of news from Lord Cochrane
>n the otlier side of the Isthmus with
r considerable fleet to encourage a
movement to Panama."
To :hf Editor the Camden Gczetlr.
Sir ;?I cannot t^iarge the Para>-;raphist
in the Southern Patriot with ingenuousness;
nor its Editor with fairness of conduct.
It appears 1 have npt the imprimatur of
certain great men, for the admission of
my reply ; but, an answer not of the mild
est character, is ^iven and my meaning
mistatcd. But still 1 do not yeild, I still
maintain the fallibility of the public officer,
as well us the public right to investigate
his conduct/ and, if the investigation
should appear correct, to enquire into his
motives. The K$ginc?rs uzeat~&c;"^ I
did not impugn; but, as to the assertion,
of his having M fulfilled the intention of the]
Legislative*" I am still a heretic, and,
not the only one in thi? District. Ik He isi
expressly directed to open the Broad and
Saluda Rivers hut when ? not before the,
river below was in such a state as to se
cure a fair passage to Charleston, for the
commerce brought to Columbia by sUCh an
opening. V also dissent from the opinion,
that the public is so extremely well satis
fied with arrattgemenie, that, tor 2 or 3
months after the publie money Was voted*
suffered the apportunity, offered by the
lowest river ever known, to be lost, and
1 jm in doing what ? in cutting canals in the\
centre of the State? And canals which;
14 when completed/' according to Major
Wilson's own lettor, addressed to His Ex-'
celloncy the Gov o( the Sta'e on the 16th
<>f M arch,<# would render the Saluda r?avi*j
?able for(only)20m>Yr#." I did not wish anv
Consultation to be had with cither A.*Or B*
but 1 hoped that common sense might
have been consulted, a due use made of
the first and most efficacious me^ns within
reach, and then all would have been eemmc
it fuut? It was generally understood that
flie operations were to commence at this
(the Jraluda) point." ' From this assertion
I dissent. No such understanding existed
in this neighbourhood; uor has any mem
ber of the Legislature been heard to say
that such wns his impression. It fnay
have been understood l>y the Columbians
or by the Loungers indie Lobby of the H*
R.; but, even in tltose circles, the under
standing must have sprung from the re
presentations of a mind too sanguine as to
the time and expence necessary to the
completion of public works?a fault too
common among professional men, and
men of the greatest latent*.
If the C itizens of Charleston are satis
fied, it is well; but, really this satisfaction
docs not^ extent as for as the Wat^ree.
Those who live on its banks, knew the ef
forts making by the^fetpte of N. C. on the
Catawba, and imagined they would also be
known to the Engineer, and his conduct be
r*?ie?~' -y??a-**1 r i... . ?.
shaped accordingly ; or as climatc pointed
out, the great force applied In the winter
and spring months in the low country, find
in the summer to the mountainous disi
then, as I before observed, all which had

been done, would havf been done com/ifyic*

Now Mr. I'dito* thia ia tteU* rapid
work. It forcifctjr pWLa m? in mind of,
Tangent in the play. * Evciy man of
faahion" said he,w shcreld become acquaint
ed first with his own, and afterwards with
foreign countries. After having travelled
over England, Ireland and Scotland, which
I shall complete in three days, I propose
to take the grai\d tour?this 1 can make in
tin more.* At a similar rate, does the
Patriot paragraph ist propose the State En
gineer should move. In March he com
mences his operations on the Saluda ; cuts
it* canals; sett ita mills to work; brings
them Cotten to $in, and Corn to grind \
opens the Congaree to the fork and the
Sentee to the at I antic, clears the Wateree;
removes every impediment from the Pee
Dee; cuts the Witiyaw canal; at " one fell
swoop,** destroys the trade ef Auguftta and
Fayette, hereafter like Tyre and Carthage
to be known only by their ruins; an<
rpiadruples, the commerce of Charleitrtn.
The words are these. " Tliey*% the Cit
7.ens of Charleston " think that the Safu'l
and Edisto rivers, will be the meatisof divei
tag ihe trade from Augusta, and Savannah,*
and thai the I'tc Dei* Wm pi*J ??b?;? be V t
channel ot that trade which iu.s uiifiti o
flowed throu^ i NnnluL*araii:.jl - :.c
works on these rtveis are pursued witu
vigor, and together with the canal between
i Winy aw bay and Saiuee, will, probably,
be completed within one year. Contiacts
have been entered into for removing ail
obstruction* in the navigation of the Con.
garcc and Wateree, and the work i> al
ready commen.rdxm the Congarct:.? If
any works have been connnenc<?_d_tMi the
Edisto, this is the first tiuve wc nave beard
oi them. Nor are we aware* m this quar
ter, of the works or vigor in carrying
them on in the Pee Dee. On the contrary,
the southern Patriot tcid us about i v
days since, u that the works ua that liver
V'/V/ be commenced in ten days."
One word nioie Mr. Editor, and I have
(lone. In the ailusiouto the Sau ce canai
I am charged with having urged 44 the bad
success of that undertaking as an argument
against internal improvement
To deny an individual the l ight of speak
ing for himself, and mistaie iiis language,
is really unfair, and what could tiot have
been expected from the Southern Patriots
I simply stated a simple iact u that the]
failure of the canal Steam Engine had oc
casioned an immense losstothe inhabitants
of this town?"thay if produce was to
sink as low as some persons predict* d*
something to (Economise the means ot in.
ternal communication must be done, and
asked what 1 now repeat, why in the name
of reaSoli, common sense, nay of self pre
servation, do not the people of Charleston
...tviimv . sncy are most (oneerned \ but
they will let the subject rest, until the mer-j
chants of Savannah and VN iltaington, Fay
ette and Augusta taire few ay their trade.
It is true, that at present, the circum
stances of the times inobt cruelly oppress
them?it is under suth an oppression they
should look for relief, in the opening of
new channel*, and rendering mole perfect
the old channels of commerce, but, all
this I know to be labor in vain ; they will
not look the subject fairly in the face, un*1
ttl a certain sum hat been ex fie tided> and J
ftar rrfiended fruitlessly^ and tht channel
of trade diverted? Hence, Sir, 1 conclude,
but hope you will pardon me for illustrat
ing n?y ideas on the occasion, by asking*
whether, if ihc Santee Canal Company
had now foster sion of the monies it has
expended, there' could not.be formed *
paved road, and as lasting as the Via Afi
tila, between Charleston and the Upper
country, as tar as^ if not fui ther tian,
eithet Columbia or Camden."'* If this be
the using arguments from tlTObad suceeest
of ihut undertaking against internal im*
provefaenl," 1 am m ignorant of the mean*
ing of Words, at I was guiltless of such
an intention. I leave it to yfcur readers to
judge on which-aide candor, will be found
and Vith whom the greuttr weight of ar*
gument will remain.
