GOV. BRAGG--INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
The course pursued towards Gov. Bragg in the
late campaign, on the subject Of internal improve
ments, is well remembered He was charged with
being hostile to such measures would improvethe
State and develope her resources; and it espe-
ciay insisted that he was opposed to the extensions
East and West. Gen. Dockery made himself con-
spicuous in this respect and his declarations and
charges found ready echo among his subalterns in
all portions of the State. 1t was in vain that Gov.
Bragg and his friends repealed these charges, and
maintained the ground occupied on the subject by
the Convention which nominated him; the object of
opposition leaders to deceive the people, and
pecially those of the West and they continued their
clamor the subject until tho people, at the polls,
gave them rebuke alike effective and final. Gov.
Bragg has again spoken for himself, and his Ian
guage-by which he will be governed under all cir
curnstances-s all that could be desired. After de-
precating visionary schemes of Improvement, and
referring to the comparatively small amount of the
public debt and the great natural of the
State he says:
WHILE therefore, the present arrangement in
the business and monetary concerns of the country
counsels US to the exercise of proper prudence and
caution, it should not, in my opinion, prevent the
prosecution of liberal system of improvement, and
especially the completion of our great Central work,
and its further extension East and West, as rapidly
as may be consistent with the means, the ability,
and the credit of the State"
What will now be the course of the Wing presses
which have done Gov. Bragg and the Democratic
party such gross injustice on this subject? Will
they come forward in spirit of frankness and can
dor, and set themselves right9 Will they, for one
time at least do justice to their opponents ques
ton in which we arc all equally interested? We
shall see.

The RUTH HALL NOVEL. The novel truth Hall,

elsewhere.

her gifted brother, N. P Willis, who unites in his
person the functions of poet and man of ton. The
description of "Hyacnths' country place is repre-
