The Bridge recently thrown across the
Cape Fear, at Lower Fayettevilie, is com
pleted ; and was thrown open to the Public
o<? Saturday the 8th instant. ? To adopt the
words ot the FayetteviUe Observer, we
would add :
u Us successful accomplishment, whilst i
it cannot but be highly gratifying to those
immediately concerned, should serve as
an encouraging example to the advocates
of internal ^improvement generally, by
showing that in spite of the heavy handed
pressure of the times, there is yet energy
enough in the public mind to surmount
rVcn greater difficulties, and that other
and inoi e extended efforts, if perservingly
made in a cause so intimately connected
with the prosperity of our native state,
must be finally successful. The advant
ages which this ind vrdual instance or pa
trioiic exertton will secure to the trade of
our town, are universally acknowledged ;
and we are confident that we are hut the
orgai.s of the putlic feeling of this com
munity, ajien we express our hearty wish
es, tJbat it may he a* productive of private
emolument, as it will be of public titility.M
A letter from the Hon. Charles
Pinckney, to the Editor, dated 6th
inst. states, " It is said attempts will
he made ill the Senate, to take up
the Bankrupt Pill in a new shape
should that be the case, and it passes
there, it may stand some chance
here ? at present, however, the ap
pearances are against its passing this
Session." ? Carolina Gazette .

T^e correspondence between com
modore Decatur and commodore
Barron been published in a pam
phlet form,. in this city. It is; of a
pointed clraracter, though of consi
derable length; and, were even de
sirable, we do uot think that its pub
lication will serve to lead the public
mind to a determination favorab)e4o
the justice of the cgjuee of the one or
of the other of (he parties~--ltather
let a veil be dropped over the tran
saction and Jjts memory be forgotten,
unless as its memory is connected
with a just respect for the merits of
the deceased, and a due regret for
the loss which the country has sus
tained by his death. The length of
tli?* correspondence is an objection to
its publication in our newspaper, re
lating, as it does, to a private con
troversy. ;:But, the consideration
which baa determined us to withhold
: k from our columns, is*, that we can
see no benefit which will result from
tracing this controversy to its source,
however mere curiosity may be gra
< tilled by the review. ? JVfcfc lntf '
