From the Columbia Tilretofle. It ni?y not bcAnpvopcr to enquire into the state of our internal improve ments, and lo know what plans are adopted for their completion.? It ap pears much time and money has been, and is about to he expended, and no suggestion to the public, what lias been or is about to be done to eft'ect it. Much might be said on the sub ject of the navigation of our rivers and canals, as respects the working ot the same, and much ipight be said respecting the great road, directed by our legislature. In the first place, what was ibe object that the legisla ture had in view in ordering that road ? It appears t|iey must have in tended it to meet the convenience of those of its citizens vybo are the jnosj remote from the advantages of navigation ? at the same time to af ford the western people a mora free and direct rout to our markets. To effect this object, what is novy to be {considered the most politic plan in laying out and working it ? Is its directions to be so marked as U> af ford in a great degree ail the advan tages to the people now enjoying or about to enjoy navigation ? Is it to run in the neighbourhood of Broad Pr Saluda rivers, pr ought its course to lay in a more centrical situation between those rivers, or is its course lo meet the yiews of a few villagers? If the latter is to be the sole object, I am led to conclude that the honest intentions of our legislature will be defeated, to the prejudice of the mass of the community. J find by conversing on the subject of this road, every man wants it by his own door or through the neighbourhood, fortune sinister advantage to hjm M1 e may expect all the scheming insinuations imaginable will bo put afloat, to, have its influence on the Board of Public Works. It would not he unwise in the members of that board, to confine their plans to the policy aud honest intentions of the legislature, which was, that the road shoujd run in a centrical direction between Broad and Saluda rivers, a due regard being had to the ground it should occupy. The most judici-j ous plan would he, to first lay out its direction, and instead of the pub lic's hiring hands by the month at nn extravagant rate, the road be laid off in working districts or sections, anil contract wjth individuals, so much for a certain distance, and bind them in good and sufficient seeurity for their performance. I have dropt those few hints in or der that some one more ca|>able may take it up and treat upon it more at large. Estimate, from Boatner's ferry on Saluda, to Newberry village, seven miles from Newberry village to Lyle's Ford, on Broad river, twenty-two miles.? This will shew the variation from the centre, by car rying the road by way of Newberry village, ns well as the impolicy of bending the road from the west, to meet ilie convenience of the Augusta markets. A FRIEND TO THE GENERAL INTEREST. From Paulson's Daily Ddvertiser. To Doctor Samuel L. Mitchell, professor of natural and unnatural philosophy, ot onithology, cntimology or insectology, ichthyology, conchotomy, verineology, meteorology, mineralogy, horalogy, os teology, geology, crystallography, chem istry, electricity, pneumatics, hydraulics and t'antasticks, kc. Sec. See. l)eav Docter. ? On a former occa sion 1 had the honor of addressing you, and I have now to inform you, your learned letter on the whale, now exhibiting in New York has excited universal attention, while at the same time it lias puzzled the brains of all our Philadelphia philosophers ? Zoologists have hitherto classed the ?whale among fishes? you merely de clare it to !?e of the u Celadons or der/' and that it likewise resembles other mamraiferous beings," from which the said philosophers infer, j that all mammiferous beings are ceta cious, and that consequently ? a cow is a w hale. The question, you say, whether a whale is, or is not a fish, is forever put to rest ; but you have not jnJbj%u^ tid us in whatcUtssof createcj beings he is in future to be placed, leaving us evidently to the conclusion that a whale is nothing short of a human creaturc, for the following reasons : 1st. Whales are foupd swimming in the great Atlantic ocean? so is man. 2d. Whales have ears and eye lids ? so has man. 3d. Whales "feed upon the mol lucous animal or sea clam" ? so doe$ man. 4th. Whales " have poctorial ap pendages, shoulder blades, humerus cubat, wrist and haftd" ? so has man. 5th. Whales wear raittjn? or close gloves ? so does man. 6th. Whales may become nuisan ces ? so may learned men. From these deductions, which are taken from your aforesaid letter, I am inclined to your opinion, that whales are of the human species. I (rod preserve you for a thousand years in the New-York Museum. SAMUEL SNAP. Philadelphia, May 26, 1830. Texas.?
