Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city, .24th July, 1839. Sill,—Agrecuh'y to your request, I h ive endon- voured to urrive at suiuu e.liilt <te of rim trade, which wniild ensue between your city and South Carolina, if bridges wore erectnd over the waters of the Sivunn-ih. I prefer adding, howev.-r, the opinion* of gentle men intimately acquainted with tho South East of tiiis Slate, to giving one in detail of my own alone. Mr. N—, formerly n surveyor, in Beaufort Dis trict, nml Mr. L—, likewisu iniiin'itely a "quaint- cit with the three upper Parishes of that district, Irove favoured me with thoir opinions. These guutlemoii enter into ca'-cul.itions uf riio number of wngnii*, carts, pleasure carriages, &c. &c., show- ing that at n low toll, about ten thousand might Iro expected n* the iuenne,from the bridges now. with a prospective increase. Their joint letter to me is forwarded herewith. After ull that can, or may Iro sntd, estimate* of this kind, must (a# thesn gentlemen observe) be merely conjectural, yet ns wnll located bridges have always been found tooxeecd in profit, the ex pectation* nf their most sanguine friends, it i* rca- •>» tilde to conclude that their estimate it rather under than overwlmt will go to your city, if bridges should be erected. Tho extent of country, however, which from its locality .and other circumstances seems likely to be connected with your city in trade, in such event, is more easily defined. This is hounded hy riro Sa vannah on the South, and tho BigSulkahatchie and Cnmbuhee rivers on the North—tbo lower end ef • his section un tho East, nnd the middle of Barn well district on tho West—being nhnitt ninety m lcs in length, and of un nvenige hreudrii of from forty fivu to fifty miles, mid having u papulation uf near fifty thniitaiul—no part of which is more than eighty miles from your city. Besides this, whan tiro Cumhnhcc and its tributary, the Big Sulknlnt- chic may be low, you might expect considerable trade ftom the lower part of Onmgeburgh, und tiro iijqinr part uf Cidleiuu Districts. My reasons for believing that a*. c<tu«iJcrabla a portion uf South C‘nmlii.n, would trada with your city, if the con templated bridges were errcicd, rather than with Charleston ore, that tho nrost remote point in the section named, i* much nearer you than Charleston —1 lint from the Camlmhco nml iis tributary, tho Big Salknlmicliie to tlio Savannah, the country is even nnd susceptible of being traversed by tho host of road*, many nf which ulreudy exist—that there is no whI.*i course to obstiuci the iiitcnroursn, but llmt of tiro Coosawntchie, and thi- may ut till tim.-s he snfoly crossed hy the luidgo hi the village of tho sum-.- name, nr ford, d leu miles further up by such ns go liom above llmt point—tliut the shore* of tlio Ci'iiibaliee and its tributary from being very low, aro subject to wide and deep ttiuudathms, making travelling nt ti.nes impracticable—that ihe Ashnpuo is likewise not much better, and the Edi-to i* quite as bad—and tliut tiro mads beyond the C'uinbubee are sandy, deep ami heavy, to such a degree u* to I'm bid much improvement, oven if it should bo at tempted. As 10 the resources of the country, which I have mentioned no one who knows the fertility uf lands n Black Swamp, (within less than furty miles of your Exchange)—tho lamls on the Coosawatchie and other smallei stream*, and that tho pine lands on this side ore better than on the other, and also th" general opulence uf tho poople,will doubt that more trade may be si-curod on ibis side than all you have on the other side of the Savannah put together. Hermit me to add ihut formerly the scheme nf bridge might have been treated us a question of mere expediency, but that nuw abridge has be come indispensable to your prospariiy. Savannah lm» evidently outgrown the country sround,ir to such an extent, that avery article of food is on tho most limited scale to the demand, and at prices of an Inm-lrcd per cent on former tales. If a greater supply be not obtained, your city must rather da- crease riiun increase in (ropuhitinn. Hnd it is to this siJe alone that you can look fur that supply. I ought to apologise fur my delay in complying with ynur request, and hope I do so, by saying that l had business te attend to, that I could not post pone. With great respect, Ac.

Mr. Editor :—The Savannah river Is tn the com mercial life ofQeorcia.whnt the main artery in tiro pliy-icul system is te animut life: and impediments to tho five course of the first, would Iro as fatal to the system tbronch whirh it circulates, audio which it gives vigor and oxiswnce. at the rinsing of the Int- mild Iro to the functions of thn body physical; paralysis nnd death would be the consequence in either ca»e. With the truth »f this axiom strongly impressed upon my mind, I m iy perhaps Iro par doned for again intruding my opinions before the public. Whan vital interests are at stake, all diffi. denre should vnnLh: nnd every member of the body whnse interests ore in question, should stand bold- ly up in the f ap he is fitted to fill, and take his share in tlio contest. In a former article, I at tempted to .how that a bridge was not nt all ncces- sary to accomplish the so much desired communi cation wuh South Carolina: th.t a much cheaper, equally effective, nnd far more expedient substitute was wi-hio our reach, that the greatest objection to the bridge was tiro certain obsttuction, and pr.e speedvo ruin of our river. I expected thntMess grave positions would have been as gravely an- slotted. 1 hnd, in my mind, complimented tiro friends nf tho hrtdgn with the supposition, thnt they wore prepared with something in the shnpo of argu ment, to show that these (curs were totally ground- l-t-s or unneccirnrily magnified. But judge of my mortifiention, when I am only met with elaborate disquisitions on tho doctrine of voting according to laxuhlo property. Having conjured up tho chinvia, tlint this mode of voting will be proposed by the opponents of tho bridge on Saturday next, a writer io riro R'.pubticau ol Inst evening pursues this phantom of his own creation, through the several windings nnd mazes which his excited irnaeinaima dings and mazes which his excited imnginaiK ms to see it flying; on, 6n it glides through banks, rail roads nnd joint stork compnnie*—and is the W'-rd with tiro rlrnnpion of tiro bridge. Tho men is kept up with uiuliminished vigor from A to B, ami from B to the end of the nlphnl.pt; tiro fifteen gallon Is w seems to have, fur a moment, ar rested tin* curse of the pursuing und tlio pursued: a cry of triumph loir-ts from the former—a deadly •III list is aimed, ttoi tit tlm opponents of the bridge, hut at. tlw* shadow—the whole rhnsm is in nn in stant dissolved: the dreamy delusion vnnislros, nnd the champion honestly conlc«n*s,ihnt ufter all he be lieve* it to have been “nn idle rumor.” One that is content to exerciro his VHlor upon such game, will never want for subjects: hut he never can do any good to the caoso lie i*s|ii*ms**s. and *» fur ns his action mny be said to have any influence at all io tiro case, it mny be reckoned to assist his opponents— for the reason, thnt a feeble sally betrays the weak ness of the garrison. Having slain this giant, which turned out to he n wiua sffin, our eirant Knight seem* to espy another, of n texture equnlly substantial, and just n* remote from Ids proper sub ject, the bridge, as the first: but dirt men and prox imity *. cm ull one to him; and with the “ mon strous doctrine that public interests, und the pros perity of n great community, nra to succumb before private views” for a hobby, ho si ems ready, in his eag. rocs- for the fight, to splinter a lance with frirttd or foe. In the bent of his animation he in vokes tlio tariff, lund question, sub-treasury and specie—but none of them appear te answec^lii* cal.—lenrt of ull the latter. The course of va our, like that of true love, never yet run smooth, nnd so our writer finds it in his case. Having run Id* hobby off its legs, Iro lucki'y stumble* upon ihe happy theme of vested rights, a question which lie gravely says '* tlio sooner wo bigin to understand, the bettor.” Hern I perfectly agree with lit-* gentleman, and if the opponents of tha bridge ini-lit r.-st in quiet, until he m isters tiro sohj.Tt, they are not likely soon to be.disturlied.— Somewhere hereabouts ho di*coven that the "sim plest process tor a papular essay will bo to pm* reed from oiu* right to another until wo come i» rite stockholders of n canid!” So it would bo, iftlro popular e**uy happened to lie upon such a series of suhp'rts, hut n*-t if it should chance to turn upon the expediency of building a bridge across a naviga ble river, and the grand point in debate should be, whether such a airurturo would, or would not destroy, or materially injure tiro navigation of that river. When the Intter should be the subject, most people would think thnt nn es*ay upon vested rights, and the pursuit of tho subject, in limine, until a cunnl siockhahl'T brings up the writer, would be somewhat out of place. A render of tho article now under remntk, might reason «hly have hoped, that this mas* of learn p d matter safelv gone through, ho would come at last to thn matter in hand, nnmely c would tho contemplated bridge ba nn obstruction; if nny. why not; but whnt does he get instead?— simply thi*, that one Engineer is good as another, if not hotter—that his Engineer built a bridge acres* the Ogechae! No one doubts the ability of the Engineer Im a'bides to—he is cupnble, no one denies, of building another Rialto. But where the similarity nf tiro cases, Irotwucn the Ogccheeand' the Savannah, so fur as tlio question of obstruction- and it* consequences giro* / Whntgreatrommercial* city in tho immediate proximity nf the bridge over* the Ogechoo, is endangered by tiro obstructions it-, may create. I do not p-rr.nive anything satisfactory- in thi* mode of evading the great question. Again, tha writer aforesaid asks in way of argu ment, whether itisat all probable thutnti Engineer- capable uf laying out rail road*, nnd rail road bridg es, should not he acquainted with the peculiarities of the Savnnnuh river, if there are nny! This is cer tainly a mnsterph cn in its way, nnd should be trea sured up by the curious, for its oddity; a reader might have his hope* n littlo revived again when ho comes to tho next paragraph—"as to the under estimate*—expense—and pro rata taxation.” Nuw, thinks the simple render, we shall have something in the form of reply to the points ho thus enumerates—but alas l no such thing—ho calmly tells ut that Iro shall con.Mar these points a* well as those of borseboats, *taumbools, and tiro tingle bt idgo plan another time H On# word to our facetious friend in tho Republi can of Saturday lost: I m**nn him, who generously volunteered to do a certain portion of tiro wind work of the bridge, und who has subsequently so amply redeemed hi* pledge. If that portion of ibe work Is hereafter fet out by connect, I know uf no person moit likoly ttx obtain It, or who better deserve* it, though Eoltt* himaeif sheutd be bis eompriitiuu, Uno would suppose from the tenor of till* gentle, man's art He thnt tiro not th bonier of the beck river was ilro very U iln n of America, end that fm beeves. stood lowing on it* betiks lor e pss.sga m«r. lift well.
