On the Caf/nrha Hirer, to the President and Directors
rj the Hoard of Internal Jniprocements of (he State
oj North f'nrolina, Inj
HAMILTON FULTON.
Raleigh, Nov. 17, 1820.
Gi:s?TLi:.tiKK Some work has been done on various
parts of this river from Pleasant Gardens to near the South
Carolina line. The Directors have, however, very wisely
suspended their operations for the last year until an Exam¬
ination and Report could be obtained. The President of
the Company did not think it necessary to call my atten¬
tion to any part ol the river higher than Muddy Creek, at
which place the remarks in the subjoined Report commence.
It is not my intention to point out what ought to have
been done ; but what ought now to be done, to render this
river as perfectly navigable as the limited state of the Com¬
pany’s funds will allow.
The obstructions in so extensive a river as the Catawba
are too numerous to be clearly described in a general Re-
port. I shall, therefore, give them in detail as they occur,
from the head of the navigation to the South Carolina line,
pointing out at each place what appears to me the best
mode of improvement.
The first obstruction is about two hundred yards below
the mouth of Muddy Creek. An imperfect attempt has
been made to improve this shoal. It will be better to take
the materials composing the left wing of the fish-trap, and
