FlKK,-:\Vft learn that (he large litre AiilLtipoii Santeif JRivejr, bV longing to Gen. Thomas Pinckney, rcckleutally took fire, and was en tirely consumed, on the SBlli r inst.

That they ihttot open the Road from Columbia, is as evident ^s that % they may opcfl the Road from- Camden. Hence the assertion of the commissioners, 44 not having the ppwer to gramM the Road in question, ia just a* ti ^e as that the people of Camden have " sliewn symptoms of discontent because a great Road has not been laid out to tlu Mountains at well as froim Columbia." \>oth assertions are erroneous. While on thd subject, We* wdfald also, observe that Gen. '^Wxlliam? is advertising for 54 Itands to work oft the Pee Dee. His laborer* have not commenced as has been asserted. Col. Nixon has tg^g a n his ope^ ationsoirthe Wateree. To exhibit Jiiyofb of the power of his machinery, he rad^aT an(1 has completely removed ail imtfCnsely large log, that has long been a serious im pediment in the neighborhood of lf?e Town, and to 6o which, mttpy ineffectual avid expensive attempts h- ve been flipfeatedte made. We shall report his movements from time to time, (having no wish to off ceal the work done in our vicinity) and, have no doubt his progress, whether is to be confined to the River, or extended to the Road, witt afford general satisfaction. The works at Rocky Mount, are also pro ceeding aj* well as the Canal in Columbia. To the latter, we shfll pay some attention, as it is tifrtikely our fellow CitUens will hear any tiling on the subject through any other channel. We shall take leave of the subject for the present, by asking, whe ther Jhe commissioners huve not equal ]>o<ver to open a Road from Camden y? the Fork as a Canal from Columbia to Uranhy ? In neither case is th^Hrst Act imperative, although, fitrflap* some Re solution ot five or six years standing may be found on the journals of the Legisla ture ; however, it was before art appropri ation was made, and ought to be of no gi ore account, than various laws of the same kind to fre fouhd on thfj; Statute Book . The previous paragraphs were writtet> before the arrival of the last Telescope. lr. ro^.Jy to tlft observations to be found in i; 6 we would observe that our complaint arose | from its having been asserted, that "the noi having a public Road above Camden | had occasioned complaint." No allusion of any kind has been made, except to the Road to the Fork \ although', as we have 1 already observed, there is equal power to 'open that as to cut the Columbia Canal, j As 10 the querulous pi agaraph succeeding, we must be excused any notice of it, ex cept to express our regret a? its tone and ten* per. And, as to the use of the word "Communication," it was done "inadver tantly. Hence we take leave of the sub ject by again referring the Editor of the Telescope to w^at we have said on the occasion j and, to assure him he is wrong in classing the grievances of which we complain as {% petulant and ideal." A short lime will show them to be felt throughout tfie Districts of York, Lancaster, Chester, Kershaw and Sumter.
