licottsville, SC. to Buffalo. N. Y. The whole
distance on this route is about the same as thar
on the route through Emmitsburg, Carlisle, Sc.
viz. 500 miles. The mountain section, which oc-
cupies the space between Loudon and Philipsburg,
presents but Two ridges in any degree formidable
to the construction OF a road, viz. the Tuscarora
mountain, which can be passed at an elevation of
about $50 lee, above tse neighboring valley country,
and the Allegheny mountain, near Philipsburg, at
an elevation of about 600 feet. Nortkward of
Philipsburg, the country is billy, and, in places,
broken by the valleys of the water courses,
which usually are sunk very deep below the
common level of the country, but the impedi-
ments to the passage OF a road are OF a character
10 be overcome without much difficulty.
The route that next presents itself for examina-
ton, leads directly North from this city, passing
through Westminster, the Valley of the Susque-
hannah, WiIliamsport, Painted Post, SC. Major
Long, assisted by Lieut.. Trimble, will Immediate
y engage in the examination of this route.

WASHINGTON, October IA.
1t will be remembered by our readers that at the
close of the last session OF Congress, the House
of Representatives came to the following resolu-
ton: |E
Resolred, That the Clerk of this House be
authorized to employ VIM. Strickland, of Philadel-
phia, to act in conjunction with the architect now
employed in completing the capital, in dev;sing a
plan for improving this Hall, so as to render II better
suited TO the purposes OF a deli eraiive assembly:
that the Sec'ry OF State, the Sec'ry of War, s. the
Attorney General, be requested TO act as aboard OF
inspection on the aforesaid contemplated improve
ment. during the recess of Congress, and that if
the said architects can devise any plan for accom-
Pitching the object, that shall receive the sanction
Of the Board aforesaid, they be authorized and d-
| q. A. 800. 4 ~ .---,E &
the said Board.
Res0lred, That the expenses be defray ed out
of the contingent fund.
In pursuance of the above resolution, we I'M
derstand that Mr.. Strickland has examined the con-
struction of the Hall, and that he has been invited
by The Secretaries and Attorney General to repeat
his visit next week, when it i. supposed that the
board will come TO some conclusion as to the
Improvement to be adopted. We are rather in
clined to the opinion, tina. the measure suggested
by Mr.. M'Duffie will be found the only effective
one against the existing Inconvenience; namely, 10
throw a horizontal Glass covering over the Hall,
so as to exclude the dome, in which the sound OF
the speaker is always lost. a ceiling of this des-
cription may be 80 constructed, "a to combine or
nament with utility; and il is probable that the cost
would not exceed $4,000 or $4,000. Should this
plan be concluded on, the season is too far ad
vanced TO allow n hope'that ii can be carried into
execution during the brief interval between this
time and the meeting of Congress: but the ensuing
summer will afford sufficient time for its compile

WASHINGTON Oct. lS.-Col. Brearley the
Agent OF the Government for conducting such OF
he Creek intians as may choose 20 emigrate be-
yond the Mississippi, left this city some days ago
for Georgia. 1t is hoped that the additional in
s'ructions which he has received from the War De
partment for his own guidance, and the remon-
STRANGE which it is understood the Department
transmitted through the resident agent TO those
Chiefs of the Nation who had opposed the emisra-
ton OF their countrymen, (eyen forbiddIng it on
pain of death,) will remove The obstacles which
Col. b. encountered on his first visit in carrying
into effect the provisions OF the Tretty, and the
act OF Congress respecting the emigration of the
M'Intosh party. Nat. Int
A number OF citizens of the town of Worcester,
