Effect of Internal Improvement.

Circumstances, among which stands most
prominently our Plank Road improvements,
hare opened the eyes Of the public I'd the
immense value Of our Pine Forests ana San
Nv lands There are are few among H.
who have long entertained q proper idea of
their value, but with The public generally
they have been 50 little appreciated that
within onr knowledge any number Of thou
sands OF acres have been sold at from one
cent to twenty-five cents N acre. Now
some Of the same-lands bring from one TO
i've dollars an acre. Indeed we have heard
Of sale that exceeds even this 4 large
body OF pine land was sold for taxes some
years ago and brought three dollars and
hall. The same property has been sold
within few days, without any improvement
whatever. for eight thousand dollars.
There can Be ID question that within the
last three years the Iatds along the line Of
the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road
in this county Eve cannot speak % confident
IN as to other countless have risen ID value
far more than the cost Of that road through
the county. And this is no speculative rise,
but is forced upon the public in spite Of pre-
judices, by the intrinsic value of the produe-
tions of those lands. The country. for sixty
miles, has been thrown open to the produe-
ton of various articles which previously
could not be brought to market We may
instance TuTpentine. which is too heavy for
transportation long distances over bad roads
But upon the Plank road a number Of dis
tilleries have been put up, and one is now
going np sixty miles from this place When
the immense profits of the turpentine bust
ness 4 considered, W. may well felicitate the
country Oh A work which has opened at least
fifty of these sixty miles to IL production.
I'D addition to the rise Of land being sutfi-
cient to pay the cost Of the road, we might
refer to the increase Of business. to the con-
segment occupation Of every dwelling. and
store, and shop, to the manifest improve
ment in the price of real estate in this town
These advantages would compensate for the
money invested in the road, even if the stock
were worthless. But, so far from that, it is
a good six or eight per cent. stock, and worth
its cost in the market
1t is not here only that such effects are
produced We conversed few days ago
with gentleman who visited Charlotte. n.
Carolina, twice recently-once, week be-
fore the South Carolina railroad was opened
to that place, and once three weeks after
wards He says i was not the same place at
all. Where everything looked dull and ID
animate on his first visit, all was hustle and
activity Cd his second. The streets were full
ot wagons with abundance Of produce; every
place OF business was occupied But it was
not in town only that the change was visible.
In the country around. few years ago. al
most every body was ready to sell land for
little or nothing. and scarcely any body
wanted to buy. Now lands are in demand,
at unheard-of-prices for that section of the
State. FapetteUiLldN. C)ObSeruer

RECEIPTS FOR GoLD.-The New York
Times estimates that for the year 1852 the
receipts Of gold at the Philadelphia mint
will reach S52,700,0O0, unless the next
semi-monthly packet should be unavoidably
delayed, against $4G,656, 900 last year. AT
New Orleans there will be 1000 700,
against SS,466,OOO last year. The foreign
gold at New York, 100000 against 81
O50,000 last year-giving a gross total of
$4,000, 0,000 of which, allowing for an ex-
port of S2,000,000 for December from New
York. and $4.000,O0O for the year from
Boston and other ports, about S33 100000
will have been sent out of the country to
foreign States, to 31st inst, leaving for do
mcstic distribution $2S.0OO,OO0, against
Sl0,000,000 in 1851 The whole Of this
balance, or nearly %, like the last, will have
gone into the interior, or lodged in the sub
treasury BY the close Of the year The
banks at present are supposed to hold net
over a million and half in excess Of 3Ist
Dec, 1851. say $9,5O0,OOO.

SURVEY OF THE RoUTE OF THE New Or
LEANS AND OPELousAs RALRnAD--The
Natchitoches Chronicle Of the 18th ult:mo
says:
We had the pleasure Of seeing the sur.
veycrs selected to locate this route, in con.
tinuation to the Sabine river, in our town a
few days since. We understand that they
have made survey of the route from Lo-
gansport to Red river, and are about to sur
vey another to Darnell'sFerry on the Sabine
with view of reporting both to the proper
authorities. We have, of course, no means
of ascertaining which route viii finally be
determined on, but it is fixed fact that the
road will pass through or near this place,
and We may confidently look for its compile
ton in very short period The road will
be finished a. far as Washington In time to
take off next years crop, and will probably
be completed to Natchitoches before the fall
Of 1854.

The London Times of a late date SAYS:
1.-THE power and influence Of the United
States among the nations of the earth depend
not on their foreign policy, but on their eter-
nal freedom and prosperity; and if there be
one thing more than another which all their
greatest statesmen have sought to avoid, iti
interference in foreign affairs Of late,
however, the popular tide flows strongly in
that direction; the American people have be-
come singularly excitable on these topics,
and before the next four years have expired,
Gen. Pierce may expect to have to deal with
some foreign questions of great difficulty"

Alonzo and Amasy Chaplin, formerly Of
the finn Of Filley 4 Chaplin. large boot
manufacturers Of this city, and VIM. Kis-
sane, Of the firm Of Smith & Kissane, pork
packers, and Jas Chandler, of Covington,
were arrested, yesterday, about II o'clock,
by G. A. Jones, U. S. Marshal of Ohio,
and s. B. Hayman, U. S. Deputy Marshal,
assisted by constables E. Evan, T. Curd,
L. Harris, r. Black and Snowfeld, Bunker
and Redding, of the city police, and Esq
Marchant, and taken to Columbus on charge
Of being implicated in one of the most dam
nable crimes, if true, that we have ever had
to record. Some time last January Capt
Cummings, brother-in-law Of the Chapins,
purchased the steamer Martha Washington,
and put her in the New Orleans trade
On her first trip the Chapins made very
heavy shipments on her Of what purported
to be boots and shoes. 1t is now said that
Capt. Cummings and the Chapins had ef-
fected an insurance on the boat and ship
ments on her, amounting to one hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars, and that
the boxes supposed to contain boots and

whatever and that the boat was set on fire
and wholly destroyed with a view to recover
this iiameIse insurance. Capt Cummings
is now, we learn, in New Orleans, and meas
ures have been taken for his immediate ar
rest, if il has not already been done. 1t will
bc remembered hat sixteen persons were
lost by the burning of the boat, and We learn
the parties arrested are now charged with
murder, rs well a. fraud Kissane and
Chandler are also charged with being par
! ties to the attempted fraud.
The Cincinnati Gazette gives the follow
ing further particulars:
A large quantity Of goods-more than the
steamer could by any possibility carry
were insured at the highest rates; more than
two-thirds of the freight on which insurance
was Obtained was never shipped. When The
insurance money was collected drayman
was brought forward to swear as to the num-
Der of dray loads hauled to the steamer;
this drayman has since turned States evil
dence and confessed that he perjured him

and in procuring evidence of their guilt.

SOLDIERS OF THE WAR OF 1812.-The
suggestion Of the Commissioner OF the Gen.
Land Office, that warrants for one hundred
and sixty acres should be awarded to the sol
diers, Or the representatives Of soldiers who
served in the last war with England, has been
echoed by number Of the veterans them
selves, who met in Philadelphia on the 18th
ult. to present the considerations on which
they base the claim. They ask that the pre-
sent Bounty Land law shall be modified so as
to extend the benefits allotted to the soldiers
who we're engaged in Mexico, to the heroes
of 1872, without reference to the length Of
service-to the sailors who fought in the
battles of that period-and to the Dartmoor
and Tripoli prisoners. or their surviving
families.

WASHINGTON. Dec. %.

w ltCO.
HoUsE.-Mr johnson, of Arkansas, said
that at the last session an appropriation of
one hundred thousand dollars was made for
the removal of the Red River raft This
appropriation was about to be wastefully ex-
pended, and unless something should be i'm
mediately done to arrest this before the con-
tracts should be opened, which would be at
no distant day, the appropriation would be
thrown away But yesterday the Senate
passed resolution to remedy the defect in
the appropriation as it passed the last ses-
sion; and if that resolution should now be
passed, the appropriation would be sufficient
to remove the raft, and Congress would never
hear of it again. He therefore asked the
House to take up Senate resolution explana-
tory of the act appropriating money for the
removal of the raft of Red river, that it
might now be put upon its passage
Mr.. Moore, of Louisiana, was sure that
there was not member Of the House who,
if he knew the situation Of the Red river
raft, and Of the appropriation for its removal
would object to the motion Of the gentleman
from Arkansas He trusted, therefore, that
the resolution would now be taken up.
The joint resolution was taken up, read
three times, and passed.

Secretary Of War.

Thus. you will see, that although he and
the Cabinet. comedies the principle Of the
construction Of the law for which we con-
teud,-that is, under the authority to re-
more, be may keep the Raft rcmoged for
one year, as regards the principle, is equiv
alent to fire years; yet they do not go as far
as we think propr;ety and practical utility
require So, we have determined TO at
tempt the passage Of the following Joint Res
olution, which shall introduce to-day, hav-
ing given notice Of it two days ago.

A GEORGIA NEGRO FOR Mrs. Stowe
The Dahlonega Signal states that Mr. Har-
rison W. Riley, Representative from Lump
kin county in the Georgia Legislature, per-
mitted his slave Daniel, the past year, to
visit California, to try his hand at mining
''on his own hook and that Daniel has lust
returned with his pockets full of gold, the
earnings of his labor, of all Of which he has
given faithful account to his master. The
Savannah Republican, in noticing the fact,
pertinently asks:
If the institution Of slavery i such a. Mrs.
Stowe represents It, would this slave have
voluntarily returned from free State where
he was accumulating fortune, to slave
State where the proceeds Of his labor would
be absorbed by his master?

HERENovAL OF THE RAFT-As mat
ter of general interest to our readers, we
publish in another column, letter from
Senator Borland. with the accompanying
documents, relative to a change of the con-
tract for the removal of the Raft, as sug-
gested by US some time since The subject
of this communication is a matter Of impor-
tance to those who are interested in the un-
interrupted navigation of Red River, and we
are grati6ed to be able to state, that the
Joint Resolution proposed by Senator Bor-
land, has, through his exertions and those of
Col. johnson, passed both Houses of Con-
gress, and that it authorizes the Secretary of
War to give the contract to the person or
persons who will remove the present obstruc-
tion, and keep the river open, the longest
time, for the amount of the appropriation.
1t is indeed matter Of congratulation among
those who feel an interest in the removal
of the raft, that under the present arrange
ment there isevery prospect Of this important
work being accomplished
The advertisement for proposals. will, of
course, be renewed, and the contract chang
ed to conform to the new, or explanatory
law.

WAR DEPARTMENT, WAsHrSGroS,


DEAR SIR:-The subject Of the removal Of the
Red River Raft was discussed in Cabinet two
DAYS SINCE and it was determined that ] could
not. under the terms of the act, apply any portion
of the appropriation to keeping the river open for
a series of years as recommended by you.
It was thought, however, that | might very
properly make the rivers being kept open ard
navigable, during one high water season, the test
whether the raft had been removed or not; and
have accordingly directed that the advertisement
for proposals be modified to that extent. and the
time for receiving them extended to 1st February
next.
Very respectfully. Yours. &C..
G. M. CONRAD.

A few hours afterwards / met Col JOHN
son in consultation. We agreed in opinion;
but deemed it best to consult the Louisiana
and Texas delegations, and make q joint ef-
fort to change the views Of the Secretary,
without rcsorting to further legislation
This consultation was had, and all concur
ring. We waited on the Secretary next morn
ing, and reiterated, and urged upon him the
views l had before presented Thus sus-
tained, especially by the legal ability and
the earnestness of Mr.. SoULE. hoped that
the Secretary would be brought to our view
of his authority and duty, under the law.
The most we could get him to agree to,
however, was to take the opinion Of the At
t0rney General And, as the result Of that
consultation, I received, two days afterwards,
letter from him, Of which, the following
