Comparative productiveness of a Sugar Plant
ation in Jjouisiana to a Cotton Plantation
in Alabama.
We collect the following facts from the La
fourche Gazette. As a general rule, the sugar
raised on a plantation, is considered a clear pro
fit to the cultivator. The molasses &c. de
fray all the oxpenscs. A gentleman on the
Bayou Lafourche, who had 125 arpents of cane
in cultivation, and employed 25 hands, made
last year 130 hogsheads of sugar, each weigh
ing about 1,200 lbs. the market price of which
at 7 cents per 11). is $10,920!
Another person who had ten and a half ar
pents in cultivation, with three hands, realized
$2,304, being $768 to each hand.
Lot us now turn to Alabama. Say one hand
will cultivate 7 acres of cotton, at the ave
rage rate of 800 lbs. per acre—this at 2 cents
per lb. will amount to $112—difference in fa
vor of the Sugar Planter, $655. And what is
worst of all, wo arc here mewed up in a corner,
which prevents us from getting our produce to
market, in any tiling like a reasonable time.

INSOLVENT LAWS.
A final disposition, we loam, was made yes
terday, in the Supreme Court, of the various
questions arising under State Insolvent Laws,
which have been so repeatedly argued,, and so
long under advisement. The result is, that
where the contract is made between citizens
of the State where the law exists, a discharge
under such law is a valid defence; so also, if
made with the citizen of another State, if such
citizen shall choose to sue, and the causo pro
ceed to judgment in the Courts of the Stale
where the. law exists. But if the contract be
made between a citizen of the State where the
law exists and the citizen of another Stale, the
party claiming under the contract may sue in
his constitutional forum, the Courts of the U-
nited States, and a discharge under a State
Insolvent Law will not bar an action. As to
contracts mndo before (lie passage of such laws
our readers are aware that they are not held
subject to the operation of those laws even be
tween citizens of the same State.—hational
Intelligencer, 24th ultimo.
SUPREME COURT.
The Supreme Court adjourned yesterday
after tin arduous session ot ten weeks. The
industry and vigour with which the members of
the Bench have applied themselves, for so pro
tracted a term, to tho important business before
them, are worthy of all commendation, and fit
to be examples even to younger men. Ab
staining altogether from, or partaking very
sparingly, in the hospitality and society of tho
city, they have given their days to the hearing
and their early mornings and evenings to the
consideration of tho many important and inter
esting causes which have come before them
from the different parts of tho Union. A vast
number of cases has been decided—wc believe
nearly 80. Our friends at the liar inform
us that an unusual portion of them, have occu-
iicd a groat length of time in discussion. Tltero
m o boon also diflercnccs of opinion on tho
Bench, in more cases than usual. Among these
cases of diflerence, as we gather from the min
utes of proceedings which have beeu published,
are the questions upon State Bankrupt Laws,
in its various branches; the case of tho United
States against Dandrige, involving much mat
ter in connection with the law of Corporations;
a question on the extent of the Admiralty Juris
diction; and a question of insurance law respec
ting tho liability of underwriters on cargo for
freight, in certain cases, &c. &c. &e. These
and other causes, having been much discussed
on the Beach, as well, .as at the bar, must ne
cessarily, we presume, swell the reports of tho
term to tin unusual length. It seems generally
understood, that the alteration of tho time for
tho commencement of the term will prove ef
fectual for the purposes intended by it; and will
enable tho Court shortly to obtain tho mastery
over its docket. Tho number of suits and ac
tions added to tho list since last year, is not, wo
leant, half so great as the number which has
been disposed of, and struck from the list at tho
present term.—Nat. Intel. 17th inst.
It is stated in the Philadelphia Aurora, that

engineer,
Thcro are to be built six locks; three of
them arc in a state of more or less progress.—
The Savannah tide lock, near the river, has
cost a considerable sunt; hut by miscalculation,
a part of it will require to ho taken up and re
built, and the whole to be secured more per
manently. This is a state of things that ought
not to have occurred; but the delay, difficulty
and expenso are chargeable on the contractors
for allowing tho builders to erect it insecurely
—and on the engineer whose daily revision
and attention ought to have foreseen and pre
vented them; and, under any circumstances, to
have refused a requisition for such imperfect
work, as unworthy of being paid for.
Lock No. 2, north of Little Ogechce, is in
a state of progress to completion, but not so
much so as it should have been. It is not so
important a work as the Savannah tide lock,
Lock No. 3, south of the Little Ogechee, is
still more forward; and that can be more read
ily completed than either of the othors, from
much having already been done on it.
There arc now employed in the line, about
four hundred and forty-nine laborers; and, in
addition, a proportion of mechanics. The
principal part of the laborers are blacks, which
furnish a very effective and manageable force;
and they will continue to labor probably
throughout the summer. Tho contractois have
been lately ordered to place a torcc oil the line
of tho canal, to make it equal to four hundred
effective men, which is now executed as by a-
bove statement and engineer’s report.
The stockholders are informed, ihat De Witt
Clinton, jun. esq. engineer, recently, resigned
Ins appointment, on the 9th inst. The board
were surprised, hut cheerfully assented to the
measure. Mr. Gill, one of the assistant engi
neers, was placed in ihe station of Mr. Clin
ton, and discharges the duties so far to the sa
tisfaction of the board.
Mr. Clinton's reasons for resignation have
been asked by the directors, and furnished;
and their reply is considered as ample refuta
tion of the charges he makes and the reasons
assigned.
As a consequence of Mr. Clintou's resigna
tion, Mr. W. II. Morel, an assistant engineer,
declined acting on a survey for a canal route,
from the Ogechoo 10 the Alaiamaba, thereby
making useless an expense incurred lot the out
fit of the parly; but tho board arc of opinion,
that in their next selection of engineers as as
sistants, that their choice will tall oil those

The following anecdote is quoted from the
new Philadelphia Quarterly. The review of
American Biography, from which this is taken,
contains a number of interesting incidents and
characters.
When the British army held possession of
Philadelphia, general Ilowe’s head-quarters
were in Second street, the fourth door, below
Spruce, in a house which was occupied by
general Cadwallador. Directly opposite re
sided William and Lydia Darrah, members of
the society of Friends. A superior officer of
tho British army, believed to be the adjutant
general, fixed upon one of their chambers, a
back room, for private conference; and two
of them frequently met there, with fire and
candles, in close consultation. About the 2d
of December, tho adjutant general told Lydia
that they would bo in the room at 7 o’clock,
and remain late; aud that they wished the fa
mily to retire early to hod, adding that when
they were going away they would call her to
let them out, and extinguish their fire and can-
dlus. She accordingly sent all the family to
bed; but as the officer had been so particular,
her curiosity wns excited. She took off her
shoes, and put her ear to the keyhole of the
conclave, and overheard an order read for all
the British troops to march out Into in the even
ing of the 4th, and attack general Washington’s
army, then encamped at White Marsh. On
hearing this, she returned to her chamber, and
laid down. Soon after, the officers knocked
at the door, hut she rose only at tho third sum
mons, having feigned herself asleep. Her mind
was so much agitated, that from this moment
she could neither eat nor sleep; supposing it
to be in her power to savo tho lives of thou
sands of her fellow countrymen; but not know
ing how she was to convey the information to
general Washington, not daring to confide
to her husband. The tinio left, however, was
short. Sho quickly determined to make her
way, as soon as possible, to the American out
posts. She iufurmed her family^that, as she

abandon an engagement at its most critical
tune, and injure the interests of the company.
The directors have had some difficulties u-
rising from the joint contract of E. Jcncksaml
D. Vail Slyke. But they are determined to
proceed systematically and steadily with them,
as ihe only means of doing justice to the stock
holders; and enforcing the performance, or ab
andonment of the connect, at all hazards. Tho
board is of opinion, that they can now bu more
effectually controlled than under the adminis
tration of Mr. Clinton, aud trust their calcula
tions will not be disappointed.
The intention is siiil held, of employing a
competent persou to continue, or renew the
survey of tho canal route from ;ho Ogechee to
the Alatamaha, it being essential to the inter
ests of the ciiy, and ol the present work, that
it should be extended to the Alatamaha.
The hoard has received from tho state trea
sury, iiy the act of the legislature, incorporat
ing the company, fifty thousand dollars in Darien
bank notes, and the bond of the company has
been furnished for that amount, on terms ot
said act.
On tho stock subscribed, uventy-nine thou
sand five hundred dollars has been received,
and on eight hundred and severny-four shares
the fifth instalment has heen paid. In addition
to these items, ihe city has taken one hundred
shares of the stock, and tho arrangements have
heen made by which the Planters’ Bank will
take the same amount. Thcso together, one
thousand and seventy four shares, on which
the board rel'cs with confidence, for a suffic
ient fund for the completion of tho canal.
The wholo amount expended is fifty-four
thousand six hundred and sixty dollars, and all
engagements paid up to the 7th instant, nnd
leaving a balance in'hand, about twenty-four
thousand dollars, principally in Darien bills.
This, with the two next instalments, payable
on the 24th instant, and in April, will produce
a fund of forty-five thousand dollars, for th9
further prosecution of the work.
It is calculated, that there will yet be found
other individuals in tho community, who will
come forward, as their interests demand, and
press forward the work with renewed energy.
It needs tho co-opcration of all, and there
cannot he a reasonable doubt, that the advan
tages of this canal, and its continuation to the
Alatamaha, are so evident, that all concerned
in the prosperity of the city, will lend a helping
hand.
The directors feel thafthey have been no
vices in the business of canalling, but consider
themselves evory day better prepared for giv
ing progress to such a work; and they feel as
sured, that in future they can so operate, as to
prevent too large payments to be made to con
tractors, by knowing how to form more accu
rate judgment of their labor, See.
. Tho duties undertaken by your directors are
much more arduous/ than they were expected

which have been necessarily subducted from
