Gentlemen In a former number we promised to submit our proposed plan, as a substitute for the Columbia and ilanviile project, as well as give some of the reasons recommending it. VVe think we have sufficiently established our first proposition, that, in the event of the links being supplied the chain of travel, between Columbia, Danville and Richmond, that it will effect to a most ruinous extent the Raleigh and Wil mington Roads.

But should we have failed io ihi, we have at least shown that fttreh a result wa probable and yuuyucu 8uv g.c-i are at stake, (if even a reasonable prob- i abililv of dancrer be if that i. :nt.A... alone does not imperiously demand nrnmni fffioiont. onH eno.rtif larri.Urmn i ntv nrnrwH to rfplnn th 1 ontIine9 of the plan, which was in part foreshad i 1- owed with tolerable distinctness in our first communication, reserving whatever we may suggest. as auxiliary thereto, to some future number.

We propose that the Columbia road, via Charlotte, shall be extended, and passing throdgh Ca- barrus and Rowan, shall cross the Yad kin River, above the flat swamp shoals, some twenty-five miles above the nar rows, tlience ihrough a part of David- to Fayet.ey ilie, and thence to Raleigh llie whofe distance not exceeding lwo hundred miles. The advantages of ihis extension need only 'to be stated to be sren The North rr-main Yadkin heads in the Blue Ridge, and runs a north east course, beiwren that Ridge and the Brushy Mountains, through the Coun- ties of Caldwell, 'V ilkes and burry. At Rockford, in die county of Surry, the River begins to run to the south-east, and crosses through the Brushy, Pilot, and other Mountains at Bean's Shoals. From the Flat Swamp Shiials, a distance of some seventy miles, there is no ob- to the navigaiion of the Kiver.t As a proof this, we state thkt which is of notoriety, that during ihe past sum- rner a Mr. Wm.

At last my couductress removed my bandage, and I found myself in a smalt and ill-lighted apartment, the single window of which had been protected by a grate by a jealous husband.

What rendered our situation peculiarly critical was the fact, that we could hear, in the next apartment, the husband of the lady stirring in his bed.
