Congressional District Convention.

According to previous arrangement, the Con-
gressional District Convention, composed of dele
gates from Richland, Sumter, Fairfield, Lancas-
ter, and Kershaw, met on Monday the 9th inst,
at IL o'clock. The Convention was organized by
calling Ex-Governor John P. Richardson to the
chair, who in few brief and eloquent remarks,
acknowledged the honor conferred upon him, and
spoke of the occasion as one of fnterest to all, ex
pressing his readiness and willingness to stand by
the South in the maintenance Of her rights and
immunities. Col. Maxcy Gregg, of Riehland, and
w. J. Allston, Esq, of Fairfield, were appointed
Secretaries of the Convention. On motion Of w.
F. DeSaussure Esq, Of Columbia, delegates from
the different Districts came forward and recorded
their names. An election was entered into for
two Delegates to represent the Congressional Dis
trct at the Nashville Convention. Col. James
Chestnut, Jr., and Col. Maxcy Gregg were duly
elected, and Capt F. Sumter and Col. T, w. Huey
were elected Alternates. Never have We seen

CRAWFORD, Orange co., N Y.
April 4, 1850. {
Dear Sir: When last in your place, suggested
to your leading men the idea of plank road to
Charlotte, N. C.. My views then were more upon
theory than at present now have the practical
part before my eyes; and nothing but seeing would
make me believe what now do | am located for
the present on farm. The plank road from
Newburgh to Eenville passes directly past our
buildings, and over as hiy country as can be
found, and what is more wonderful, is to cross the
Chain of the Allegheny mountains, at about 1880
feet rise in a miles. This is practical; and with
such difficulties, that make this road cost three
times as much as one on level route, still there is
plenty ofcapital to build it. There are, independ-
ent Of the mountain, over 20 hills and valleys,
with rise and fall Of over SO feet to overcome in
a majority of them. The Engineer promises a
road of not over one foot rise in rod l6a feet.)
We have practical proof that three times the
weight can be carried by the same team. Our
public roads are far superior to yours, which is
the more favorable to you to have plank road.
Why not cross the mountain! All that is neces-
sary is to angle your line so as not to rise 300
feet in mile ;-fy can do that it is practicable.

may be engaged this summer in the prosecution
of the present work; if not, can and will see the
work progress Should your business men and
owners of real estate feel disposed to take up the
subject, would proffer my services in obtaining
any information within my reach. l can assure
you if you build plank roads, so as to open up the
wagon trade, you will double the value of your
real estate, and get good dividends your stocks.
Dividends in this State are from 10 to 80 per cent

For the Camden Journal.

Messrs. Editors: closed my last piece by some
remarks on North Carolina, which brings me as
matter of course to our own beloved South Caro-
lima. This State was first settled Chat is, on the
sea board) by English, who were joined by some
of the choicest spirits of France, eXiled from their
country on account Of their Protestant principles.
The religion OF both classes was Epscopalian,
and they very soon became as one people, and
gave TO that part of the Colony which was reach
ed by their influence, high character for all that
was lovely in the social institutes of man. They
loved their own England, but they loved liberty
more than her; and hence when the revolution
broke out, the leading men of the colony took the
side OF liberty. The back country, however, was
settled by different class Of people, or rather two
classes Of Irish Presbyterians; one of which caine
by the way Of Pennsylvania, and the other direct
from the Green Isle. Both classes, however, were
ardently attached to liberty; but still the esis-
tence Of three different influences in the State,
kept her from that unity of action and that UNI
forny in politics, that other States differently 81.
tuated, early acquired. Yet South Carolina has
been blessed with some of the greatest men in the
Union; but still we have no particular politics.
Whiggery could no more live here than snake
could in the land of St. Patrick, and the Democra-
CIV is what some fortunate dlscorerer may
find out some day. Ofcourse lam not speaking
other politics OH the great Southern question. On
that subject, it would be treason to suspect her-
OH it the people are far ahead Of tho politicians,
and presses. They hpve long since passed all
compromising disposition, and III ali the camhess
of desperation, arc anxiously waiting the day Of
action. But as to our general politics, would say
do not know them. We have still the low couri-
try chivalry, that DOES great dUul Of the State
talking, makes the most Of tbs Governors, and
controls to great oxtsnt the elections in the Le-
gslature. Then we have the up country, where

Shin Binding In Oregon.

From private letter, received al this office,
under date of Milwaukee. Oregon, Oct. l. we
learn that one of our New England ship and
steamboat builders, Mr.. William |. Hanscon, who,
within few years past, has built several fine
steamboats, and ships in Newburyport this State,
and Portsmouth n Il is now constructing steam
boat loo feet long, "a feet wide, and 81 feet deep,
in Oregon, for Lott Whitcomb L Co to run on the
Columbia River. The sbpyard IS established on
the Willamett River. at Milwaukee, a small, but
enterprising and rapidly growing town at the head
OF ship navigation on that river, and eight miles
from Oregon City.
The facilities for ship-building at Milwaukee are
considered equal il not superior, to those CT any
port in the L ited States
The keel of the steamer now building there IS
all in one piece. The tree from which was taken
was cut within few rods of the yard, and mea-
sured l2l feet to the first limb, and at l55 feet
inches it was cuton and hewn out by II inches
There are two saw mills adjoining the ship yard,
constantly employed in getting out timber Tor the
ship-builders. The land at Milwaukee, and IN Its
vicinity is excellent, as may be seen by the heavy
growth of pine, Fir, oak cedar, and hemock TIM
ber standing thereon. The climate is delightful,
being. for the most of the time like our Indian
Summer
Oregonis fast becoming populated with hardy,
active, and euterprising people, who will ere long

duce. Her timber land fertile soil, and the cha
racter OF her citizens bespeak TOR her an enyiabe
reputation among the civilized nations of the

HAVANA, Sunday, Nog.5 l854
To the Editors Of The Ne,g- York Tribune:
The steamer Ohio, Capt Schenck, with her
usual regularity, arrived early yesterday morning
in six days from your City including stoppages
at Charleston and Savannah, and encountered the
same delay that had been previously ministeFed
to the Pacific and Georgia, before she was per-
mitted communication with the shore. 1t seems
that the Government adopts this rule for the par
pose of examining their Q6ictai and pirate adj
vices, with such scrutiny OF other correspondence
as prudence Or apprehension may dictate, before
the fiery ankee is allowed to struggle through
the narrow pathways OF Havana. After some
three hours Of detention, the nterdict Of non-ln-
tercourse was repealed, and redshlrts Tiled our
promenades and any quantity OF South western
wealth, chivalry and children.
