Terre Ha&'e, and Danville is 5 1-2 miles north of the s ime lino. They are represented, on the general map, ia their proper posit ions, where the rouio can be trace;! hy the eye. Civwid .riVg this northern roiile wot so favorable, t Uher as to ground or distance, as the dit:x.t route, I believe it to be my
duty to adopt the direct route. t In pursuance of instructions from the dc-
parttnent, ot April 2a:h, 1827, allowing me to employ an Agent, whose duty it should he to commence at Zanesville, and
to proceed, westward, along the several j contemplated routes for the continuation j
of the Cumberland road, and to procure the signatures of persons to bonds relinquishing to the United S'atcs permission
tpass the road through their lands, and, !
also, to ue materials lor me construction of the road, clear of any charges for the eame, I procured the service of Lazarus B. Wilsonwho has performed thatservice .is fnrtis practicable, and to my satisfaction. The-people have generally made the desired reiinquichmcn's. The bonds which have been signed as aforesaid, and a book in which nre registered the names of the signers, and of the property or thii g relinquished, and the position of the lands in the public surveys together with copies of the correspondence on this subject, between tho. said Agent and mjsclf, are herewith reported. i "take this occasion to say, that, in the Terv toilsome nnd dithcult duties of the fast season, I have experienced essential aid from Joseph Shriver, my Surve)or, and lrom L. B WiUou before mentioned. All of which, is respectfully submitted! J. KNIGHT, C-j::nissiucr.

confident n:?rlicn end frequent repsti
tion ccm? to obtdn cents cf the character and to produce scic of the effect of truth. There is in th's degradation of the press something very dirt-curaing. For it is in the nature of tresson csr.ong the ccnlinls appointed to watch for the safety cf ths whole, and to signalize danger frcm cfsr. If these then, in cccurc reliance upon whom the great mass repose in quiet, shall betray their trust, and give false reports, the foundation of nil confidence is destroy ed, and confusion and disorder must ensue. So when u public journalist deliberately misrepresents facts, r co colours them', as to give to them a force or cCect entirely different frca their original and real purport, he is a treacherous sentinel who misleads and exposes those whom it is his duty and h.ghest privilege to Co tiff, and faithfully to inform. To return, however, to tho topic with which wc commenced these desultory remarks, it is with real ratisfaction wo per
ceive the growing favor of the caura cf the administration; and the operation in its behalf of that calm and quiet cotton sense, which works indeed unseen and noiselessly; but nith meat potential effect. Partisans, to be sure ore still clamorous for the Hero, thgh even their clamours have now become more querulous and less assured; but the substantia) population of the country is moving, or wc very greatly indeed mistake the "signs of the times,' in mass to uphold and continue the supremacy of civil rule A Y. .lmcricnn.
