Tiie third the only one that is both practicable and c pedient, and the one that calls for the unit energies of all the advocates of conservati principles, and of all who respects the rig! t.i industry, the rights of property, and t laws of moral obligation. Entertaining the sentiments, the advertiser proposes to publi a semi-monthly journal, to be mainly devot< for the present, to the accomplishment of tl great end; and he confidently relies upon t patronage of a large number of his fellow c izens to sustain him in the effort. All w unite with him in sentiment must be aware the importance of. prompt and energetic 2 lion, and of the immediate and wide diffusi of knowledge upon the principles ot currenc Ignorance on this subject has brought us uar present bankrupt condition, and nothii can save us from deeper and more lasting d tress, but the dissemination of the importa 1 ruths which reason and experience ha taught in reference to banking, currency a kuance. The vast annual increase of the monicd i ffcitution.. of the United States, and the i tixnate connection which subsists betwei their financial operations and those ofEuroj are becoming every day more and more 0 jects of interest, on both sides of the Atlanti There were on the 1st of January, 1S37, the different states and territories of the U mn. six hundred and seventy-seven incorpoi - ted banks, having one hundred and forty-* branches, dependent of one another, each which issues notes, and consequently cont butes towards the mass of the paper eurrenc which will soon exclusively fill the entire cha ncls of circulation; and it is evident that knowledge of much of the statistical inform i ion which is connected w ith their cxpansio and contractions would be highly beneficial every section of our country, as well as merchants and capitalists abroad. A knov dge, also, of the state of pecuniary affairs ?ireat llritain, and on the continent of Euro]: from which we have obtained so many loai and to which we may again, after tin resuni Uou of specie payments, look for additional a xn the various enterprises requiring capil ia wliich our different states have embark* would seem to be essential to all our inorii institutions, and to a large body of our mtize aud public men. Indeed, without a bro view of the cdfclition of the currency in bo ?juarters of the world all great financial e terprises must bo conducted in the dark; a< when this is the case, it is easy to perce: what disasters may follow m their train. In undertaking this work, the advertis has no political party ends to answer. Mi ters which concern the happiness and w being of the whole community are of too hij importance to be made the sport of party w< fare. Banking, currency, and finance Leloi to science, and not to party politics; but, 11 veriheless, where governments and leg .'si - tares so far forget what is due to science, a commit the imprudence of forcing her into t political arena.it com|>orts with the plan this work to condemn their condujt and c iiose their ignorance whenever betrayed, the offenders belong to whatever party th may.

Rcnort on the vrovosed Cheraw and I Vac- ! caniaio Rail Road, by Edward B. White, ' Esq , Engineer, Charleston, S. CMarch 2oth, 1837. To Col. D. S. Harllee. President of the Convention, and Chairman of the Executive Commttec \ Sir: On the *24th of January last, a Con- j vention of Delegates from the Districts of; Chesterfield, Marlborough, Marion, and j Ilorry, was held at Marion Court House, i to consider the practicability and expe- 1 diency of constructing a Rail Road from the town of Choraw, to some point on the navigable waters of the Waceamuw river. The first resolution of tho Convention j provided, that, three Commissioners should | bo appointed, who should employ a compe- | tent Engineer, to make a reconnoisance of j the country through which the conteinpla- ! ted Rail Iload would pass ; to inquire into the advantages and facilities of lite project; j and to estimate the probable cost of tho un- j doriaking. Col. D. S. Harllee, Major W. j T. Eilerbo, and TIios. U. Evans, Esq., j were the Commissioners appoin cd to carry into effect this resolution ; anu they have shosen mo as the Engineer to make the proposed examinations. Accompanied hy j the two hist named gentlemen, and by Mr. j James Wrigid, of Cheraw, I have comple. I ted the reconnoisancc ; and now beg leuve j to offer the following report: The country between the points propo. j >ed, is eminently calculated for the purpose f jt constructing a Road; being generally : ,erv level; admitting of lung straight liues; j jentie curvatures, and very slight grades.; io cross some of the streams which1 niersect the line, it may be tiecrncd j expedient to adopt a grade of fet! 'o ihc mi(c Put this will h? \ . occurrence. The greaiest abundance | of pine of the best quality* bo'h the yellow j pine, and lightyrood, is to he found along. j the line of the road. The soil is generaliy light; so that the excavation and embank* inent, will be of the easiest kind. Tito - -si swciTips which il will be iu cessaiy to ira* verse, are all firm; averaging from six to <i,ht inches of soft alluvial ma.tcr, on a firm sandy or clay substratum. The line of the road will encroach but iirtle onvalua- ' ; bio private property, and vyhen it does, Uy j the facilties which it will-uflhrd, will rnore '$k than requite individual sacrifice, and then?* fore call for no expense by way of remuneration on the part of the Company. 1 liave consequently, in the estimate, made no aU lowance for the purchase oflands. ,i In compliance with the wishes of tho Commissioners, I examiued two lines be* iween Ghefaw and the VVaccaniaw rivpr.?The first, whhd. I JL , i oikmi uvsi^uiiic ii| the ixw? tr Route, leaving Cheraw, crosses the Big Peedee in the high lands on ih? eastern . i hank, and passes, thence by Marlon CoutfT ii House, nearly direct Jo the navigable wa? ters of the YVaccamaw. The olhtr tioe, which I will term the U[rpcr Route, depart- ; ing from Cheraw in like manner wi;h" the( lower route, continues nearly direct to BenSL S n?>;tsvilietthe Court House of Marlborougi^r ,7? District. From BepmrttsviHe, if eiftiei*, passes by the cast of Cat-Fish SwanipJt, /' joining the Lower Line at Marion Court House, or joins the Lower Line by nassingML" i through the " thoroughfare" between head of Cat-Fish, and the south fork of^H| .Muddy Creek. B^The first object of iu-portance which Bj-2 presents itself, is the depar>ut;e from Choi m'i raw, and the crossing ot the Big PeedwviE^ fiver. Cheniw isat die bead of navig^iion * -v; of the Big Pwdce, and occupies a very eli - W $, vated position on its western ha?i* A-iwS gradual descent irom tlie town to ilie river W can be obtained,by following down a ridge % which leads fromthe south end-'ofihc town ? id' a narrow strip of laud in Col. l pubosc's plantation, bordering on the 1 ?|Her, the greu est part of which is said to & above the highest fresfie's. This leads JT to UtCTrtouih of Thompson's creek, abov^ m: , which, the Big Peedee could be crossed on m. a shoal. Ti?e river there is only four feet m > deep at the lowest water, and is confined to a narrow channel, The objection to ibis crossing place is, that a bridge at ibis point W *' wouid, al ijigh water, cut oflftlie navigation ? r-.i? .u? - - -5 num me ioww, uniess a draw bridge be. ft used, which wiii be both inconvenient and -MB expensive, Again, a curve of a very short-ft radius must be used in crossing the river, m; or else the bridge must be built very ob. fiquely to the course of thes'ream.' To cross the river above the present ft,bridge, which is considered the head in Wfal navigation, a depot could be established above Maynard's Mill, iu the valley of Tan-yard creek, by cutting into its banks, jt and partially filling the ravine,. Thence ? an embankment of about a thousand feet1 y , long would reach the river: after crossing which, a structure of piles a mile in length r averaging six feet in lieight, through ihtr- fc rington's field, would reach the highlands % on the eastern bank. Bu a depot in Tan-" ? '. < Yard ravine would ho neither. siiflVJo.nK# 'Mfc* ? - .~WWj ample, nor convenient of access from the own. I will proceed to consider one which 4 I deem more so. . ? At'the bend of a ravine in the rear VVpds worth's store, a commodious depot chu_ * be formed, by cutting and filling a few fc-etjp in depih. Aud there tlie Company's S:oro W Houses, 6cc. may be built, to communicate % immediately with Front street, and K?-r- -Jr shaw s reet, continued. From this de- ? pot, by a descent of between 50 and 00 feet to the mile, follow the bank S of the ruvino, cross Whortleberry creek, lj> _ and reach the river bank near i s intersect"*? tion with the northern boundary of the t town, an elevatiba sufficient to cross above j the influence of the highest freshets. From &*> the opposite hank, an easterly course diro' Mr. Kollock's field, will, in the distance ofa mile, reach the highlands. By crossing i-jEt-.i :? ? mu nvcr nere, ine Highest ground on tne ! eastern flat will be occupied, nnd tlte depth j* ! of the river is 6 or 8 feet less than near the^v ! site of the present bridge. The river flats^ should be crossed by piles and truss work, to; It would be unsafe to eross them by em- iL. | bankuient, because of the great body JF j of water which flows over them during tho V* I highest freshets. The River 1 would \ ! propose to cross by a bridge, about 420 feet ; long, of w ooden superstructure, resting on ? abutments and two piers, which should bo 'of stone. For th*?v u-il! ? . ..?. ..... ia, ouujcciCU llOt M only to an immense pressure of water ** (which, when at the highest, rises nearly i fortv feet above low water in the river,) but likewise to violent shocks from the floating ' trees whicli are borne down by the current. For thb purpose of building tho abutments " and piers, a compact hard sand-stone can be 'obtained half a mile above, from tint banks and bed of the river. T'ie bot on of the river is generally sand stone, and will alTord a firm foundation to lite piers. A Depot lower down in the same ravin'1, v could be established on the iine of Kershaw street, continued, from which. perhapVa descent to the river of 40 or 40 feet to the rnile, could be obtained. Due this position would no; possess the advantages of that in the rear of Wads worth's Store; which I consider the most eligible for the purpose within the limits of the town. ' The only oh. jeclion to it is the grade of 50 to tio feet Iter mile, which, connect d as it is with so convenient a Depot, and being at one termimio of ihe iload, is not, lor tne short d:s. tuuee of hail a mile, objectionable. periruents made on the Ibiitimore a* j u. and C 'i -bi; r.v?i> - : / ..
