We insert to-day an extract of letter from the
Washington correspondent Of The Charleston Mer-
curry OF the 27th ult in relation 10 the bill whchthas
Of this company The writer pays bet a Just and
merited tribute 10 worthy and attentive represen
tatve, Gen John McQueen, for his able and effective
services in those matters which concern the interest
of his constituency The passage OF this bill was of
great service 10 the Company al the present tme as
relieved Them from the payment OF some eighty TO
one hundred thousand dollars 10 the custom houses in
cash. for duties on their iron, and gives them cp
ponunity of paying it in mail service 10 the Govern.
ment, in four years; giving them in the meantime,
the carrying OF the mail, and thereby securing them
the great line of travel from North to South. The
Company, through their President and Directors have
been striving since December for the passage of this
act, and it is owing much to the energy and efficiency
of Gen. Mcqueen and Hon Mr. Ash, member from
Wilmington, N, c., that it has been carried in the
mass of business, much of which had been thrown
overheard for want of time in Congress at The session
just closed.-Marion Star.

The Discussion.

We have ever endeavored to make it an object, in
the course of the short time we have had con-
nection with the public press, which has been up
wards of fifteen years, and the last eight years of
that time in the town of Wilmington deal fairyand
honorably with our political opponents; and we are
lust vain enough to believe that the intelligent por
ton, at least, of the Wing party of Wilmington so
consider our course It is matter of SURPRISE there
fore that we should find the Herald oflast Saturday
after having had three whole days to reflect upon
the matter endeavorng to get up the impression that
our report of the debate at the Court House Tues
dav last was not q fair one. Now, it is we'll known
that we made no pretensions towards full report of
the speeches Our object was merely to give as cor
rect statement of facts as possible and in this we
think we succeeded at least we know that there
are large number of very intelligent Wings
Scott Whigs-who have expressed themselves pleas

matter BY endeavoring to give the words used by
MIR. Banks We pretended to no such thing, and

have had the pleasure of Mr.. Banks's company
at least once since he addressed the people on
Tuesday land if he had any complaints to make, ii

and he knew it. But we give him now, as we

To the Commissioners.


How old, and how big, ought town to be before
it becomes City?
Ought not ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN years to
be old enough
And is not from Hilton to Greenfield, and from
Alligator Creek brunswick county, TO Petaaroys
Butcher Pen, New Hanover county, big enough?
Wilmington has been Town more than centu-
ry! And Wilmington covers something like four
square miles of high land, and swamp land; (ths
last cut up by canals, will be Vsnice one day }
and Wilmington has, besides, Of the longest
streets, and the most of them But then, they are
not pared City cannot be City until the streets
of the City are paced. The only patch of pavement
in town, is around the Market. Cannot the citizens
submit to the expense of small beginning to pave
the most central business parts of the Streets this
winter? Will not the Commissioners make begin
ming this fall It would be very great matter
ly to pave Market street, up to Second street, and
Front street from Dock to Princess.

THE SANTEE AND Pee DEE RICE F1eLDs-Through
the attention Of Capt Magee, of the Nina who
arrived from Georgetown yesterday, learn that all
the Santee plantations situated above that OF Mr. w.

great loss. The plantations below have escaped with
out serious injury. The Pee Dee Rice fields have not
yet received serious damage. but as considerable
quantity of Rice is ready TO be cut, which cannot be
done in consequence of the amount of water in the
fields, II is feared that another rise may take place
which will, without doubt, do great injury should it
1t occur, OF which there were reports from the up
country. Capt. M. handed US specimen of wafer
