CATAWBA RIVER.

This stream has its source IN the noun

mcnls of North Carolina, made q survey
of the river from the Pleasant Gardens,
in Burke county to the South Carolina line
and made report to the Board that the
River couIl, at a small expense, be made
safely navigable TO the Pleasant Gardens.
Public attention was drawn to this River
forty wears ago. The Legislature char
tered Company to improve the river, who
commenced work and progressed for some
time and for want of funds suspended their
oncrations until their charter run out. In
isl6, the Legislature granted new char
ter reyiving the company and the State be-
came interested by subscribing for sixty
shares Of stock, 10000, about one-tourth
the sum then estimated necessary to COM
pleto the navigation; the balance was sub.
scrbed By individuals. The company went
to work with great spirit, commencing at
the two extremes of the river and progress,
ed for some time, doing considerable work.
Some of the stockholders paid on demand
to the third instalment, some less and some
nothing. The paying stockholders began
to laltor and refused TO 20 farther until de-
linquents paid up. The operations were
again suspended with some debts unpaid
Steps we're taken for collection, which from
some cause or presumed defect in the char
ter failed.
The Legislature extended the charter
from time to time, but nothing farther has
been done,

rs u moi remarkable that no steps have
been taken 10 resume the improvement Of
river 50 susceptble Of being made nayiaabie
and of so much importance 10 the section
Of the Stale through which il passes, and
especially when South Carolina, by canals
and otherwise, has done much on her part
Of the river. The State Of North Caro-.
lima has invested about one million of dol
lars in Rail Roads, aud here we have u fine
stream, capable Of being made navigable,
and which would be Of vast importance 10
a large portion Of the western part Of the
State, for less than the twentieth part of
the sum invested in Rail Roads, and would
be of more real benefit than any Rail Road
ia The Stale.
The people in the West who are deeply
interested, should take up the matter and
instruct their representatives TO revive the
business and claim from the State por-
ton Of the funds set apart for internal i'm
proyement. Our public papers in the west
should take up the matter and call public
attention to this lmPortan. measure for the
West.
The Company perhaps erred IN com.
menclng al tie two extremes. Ii the whole
Of their operations had been concentrated,
commencing at the South Carolina line,
more practicable benefit would have result.

What gentleman, be he for Polk or Clay,
