BUcayneBay is about twen- ty-two miles loog, and from one to seren miles wide. n is not generally rery deep, but it k a beautiful sheet of water. The lands bordering on the hay are generally rery low—on tbe main (west) ride some high land—sereral high, rocky bluffs, affording splen did risws—tbe same at tbe mouth of the rirer—large tracts of hammock bordering on the blufls, rery rocky, owned by Mr. Ingliab. of South Carolina, and ooe tract by Dr. Barron, who resides on the same. Tbe low lands are generally mangrove swamp, or marsh, some of the marsh sufficiently high for culti vation, aad quite rich. In many places the pine lands approach near the bay, and are high. Tbe best of spring water may be bad anywhere on the west ride or tbe bay* All the spring water in this section of City yiniur 0»to*loU*Uttko*rUwSleSU>* malt «ttt» abettm m Mmfej » ■>* *»»»•«• ^»> Udm to rnmit 1. w bee tame ea the tnaxm ct tteDMMeraOe Ueteti'Mrb It oerporpoee elpn- •nt I* mil owe ear *lctarr,««to*j.ltomnr, W penriaeA tom/ shw (Hi o« tbe inhjtct, erltk- ad emlbt Am IWinp of «r oppooente. for ■eupeCwboapmostltj m eatoitoin theUikeat ✓ are in the Everglades, are fine, with an occasional hammock of from three to one hundred and fifty acres, but generally rery rocky, as are nearly all tbe pine lands in the country. Bordering on the Ever glades are large hammocks, with but little rock- some of them without any. I bare been several time* fifteen to twenty miles into tbe Everglades. Within thkrastseaot grasswater, are thousands of islands, from a half to four miles apart, several feet higher than tbe highest freshets ever known—extent of great variety—from five to two thousand acres In each- free from rock, and tbe moat fertile lands east of tbe Misslsripi rirer. Tbe top soil is brown for one or two inches; then follows a rich mulatto soil, generally from three to twenty feet in depth. Tbe Islands are usually surrounded by water from three inches to three feet deep. I was on one which contained 1000 or 2000 acres. The Everglades were higher than usual. I saw where a large tree bad been blown down, making a hole in tbe earth some four feet deep. This hole was perfectly dry, and In the bottom of it. as well as on some of tbe rook, were auanUtlea of Indian pot-ware. I saw no difference in the soil. These Island* are what is called made land. On than, sugar cane and rice grow tbe entire year. Cane goes to aeed. From two to four cuttings or rice may be made during tbe year. Tbe borders of the Everglades afford the greatest advantages for rice plantations of any part of the continent. I believe a sugar plantation may be established at one of these at a much leas expense than in Louisiana, and with a greater product to the acre. I believe it k as healthy (and more so) in the Everglades than on any part of the coast of Florida west of this— There W a current throughout nearly the whole ot the Everglades for tbe greater part of tbe year, and the trade winds prevail there as they do on this coast.— The mosquitoes are not so numerous there as on the ■ea coast. Tbe great objectiou to tbe Everglades is a want of fence timber, and tbe difficulty J§ carrying tbe produce to market. The former may be o stated by ditches and hedges—tbe latter by small canals to the bead of Miami river, or by causeways, either of which may be accomplished at a small expense. If tbe Federal Government would make an appropria tion sufficient to cut a canal from five to six feet deep, connecting the Miatna and Sinibal riven, or the op posite sides of tbe Everglades, such a canal would remove all the difficaltlefllMhe settlement of this country, and bring into mmet hundreds of thous ands of first rate lands, and tbe population of this aame much abased country, (the Everglades) would in two yean exceed all the rest of Florida. The lands are nearly all surveyed, except the Everglades. Wehave no olive, coffee or cocoa trees growing here, or tbe tea plant; but from information derived from these who resided here for a tong time, and who are acquainted with their cniture. I am fully assured they may all be cultivated here to tbe greatest silvan- Snr climate la most delicious, and may trnly be called “ paradise of invalids.” It is infinitely better than 8t. Augustine or Havana—the former being i too oold, she fauei wo warm and relaxing. A hotel here for invalids would do remarkably well. I send you a statement of tbe expense and profit of our staplo commodity—tbe arrow root—by which it' will be seen that seven bands, in digging and roan- j ofactnring this article, and carrying it to market, will ' nett yearly abont $1,743. The cultivation of the cocoa 1 and other tropical fruit*, are not less profitable.— ! Orange, banana, plantain and pine-apple ail come to | the greatest perfection. The orange insect is no long-: er destructive to that delicious fruit, as an effective ! enemy is found in tbe ant. We have tbe finest fish, i turtle and game that tbe country produces. Ail that we want l* the fostering aid of the Federal Govern ment, to a small extent, and we shall have the most desirable region of country on this great continent. Superior Coart* Tbs business of the Court moves on with more than usual rapidity, and tbe term is fast drawing to a close Many cones have been disposed of, though but a few of them have excited any public interest. The case of Williamson, charged with the murder of Beard baa been postponed through tbe absence of witnesses. The cased Nathan, a slave, charged with an assault with intent to kill, upon the person of Lemuel Eve rett, also stands over until the next term—be having made affidavit that tbe state of public mind is sacu as to render an impartial trial very improbable. The case of John, a slave, charged with the murder ol Mark Sweeney, was tried during tbelaat week, and resulted in a conviction. On the part of the State, Col.

Farther particulars of the blowing up of tbe pro- pellor Independence, at SaultSte. Marie, have reach ed oa in letters from passengers. The explosion was caused by the neglect to let off steam during a stop page for tbe par pose of completing the raising of the aacnor. Seven lives were lost la all, and it is miraculous that the sacrifice was nut greater, when it is consid ered that the boat was crowded with people, and was blown to atoms, with the exception of twenty-five feet of tbe bow. Some very extraordinary escapes are mentioned, amongst them J. L. Watson, the clerk of the boat, and a passenger named Alfred Thomas, of Ohio, the latter of whom was rescued by a Newfound land dog.

This k glory enough for one day! The Regatta Yesterday. As we anticipated, yesterday wss a day long to be remembered in the annals of aquatic sports in Sa vannah. Tbe day was one of surpassing loveliness, in bright skies and gentle breezes, and graced by tbe beauty and fashion of onr city, left nothing further to be desired. At the hour of eleven o'clock, A. M., al most every accessible point along tbe rirer was occu pied with anxious spectators. Tbe following were the entries for tbe day, viz: Tbe Kate Kenan, length, forty feet, six oars.— Uniform of crew, white flannel shirts without sleeves. Color of tbe boat, blue. Entered by IL Spacldino. Elia Brooke, length, 42 feet, six oars. Color, green. Uniform of crew, white and grey. Entered by John Scriten. Becky Sharp, length, 43 feet, »x oars— ' Color, black, with a red bead. Uniform of crew, scar let shirts and black caps. Entered by J. Hamilton Coma Second Race—Pune 3200, to be contended for by four oared boats. Tbe Mary Halsey, four oars, length 38 feet, color brown, uniform of crew, white flannel shirts wilhoat sleeves. Entered by JL SrACLDi.vo E*q. Tbe Fenella four osn, length 38 feet, color black with a red bead, uniform of crew, scarlet shirts and black caps. En tered by J. Hamilton Cocpeb, Esq. Sarah £., four oars, length 36J feet, color brown, uniform of crew, white and grey. Entered by B. T. Gibson, Esq. The Barcarola, four oars, length, 38 feet. Color, rose, with black gunnels and out riggere. At 11| o'clock tbe start was made, and the race proved to be one of exciting interest. Just previous to the starting a vessel loosed her moorings and drooped down into tbe stream, preparatory to pat ting to sea, and her position was such as to divide tbe boats at about tbe first quarter, and which evidently more or less disconcerted all parties, from which tbe middle boat did not altogether recover. The contest proved between tbe favorites, Kate Kenan and the Becky Sharp, and wa» spirited in the highest degree. Tbe stalwart negroes in all the boats bandied tbe oare with tbe strength and skill of ma chinery, and won the applause of the entire multi tude. Tbe Kate Kenan, guided by Mr. Spaulding, and rowed by the slow crew of the day previous, was declared tbe victor, and nobly did she contest the ground, proving her own mettle and that of the no ble fellows whose hearts seemed to enter os fully into their work m did their brawny arms. For the second race were entered the Barcarola, Dr. B. H. Tbocp. Mary HoUry, IL Spaulding Esq. Sarah E. Dr. J. P. Scbiven, and Fcnela, Hamilton Coupeb, Esq. The boats were steered by these gen tlemen respectively. Towards two o'clock, tbe hour appointed for tbe start, an immense crowd occupied the bluff and all available positions. The decks and rigging of the shipping were swarming with human beings as in the first race of to-day, the steamer St. Johns, freighted with a large number of tbo youth and beauty of onr city, steamed up tbe stream, the German Band discounting in lively strains from her quarter deck, and took np a position near the goal. At aboat tin minutes past two o’clock, the signal gun fired, the oars strike the waters, and with an er. rowy speed the boats shoot through their native cle ment. Tbe Mary Hot try and Barcarola have tbe jump and, unlucky accident, the Fenda breaks a row- lock and is obliged to put back. Tbe other three press hard on each other. The ex citement increases and now l* beard along the river and from tbe rigging of the vessels the cheers and huzzas of the in altitude, and the cry, there they come, there they are, passes from poin to point. Ti*>y Imre passed us, the Sarah K. leads the race gallonly, and at every stroke increase* the distance Ixttwcen her and her competitors. And finally passed the goal some five lengths ahead of ail. At the termination of the race the Sarah E. and her crew were the object of much attention, and the beautiful boat itself seemed instinct with motion so, lightly did she tip on the tern when passing her goal. A theme am—The Gamester. The lateness of the hour at which the peiforwance* concluded on Tuesday night, prevented our noticing In proper terms the play of the Gamester, as render ed by the excellent corps at the Atbemeum. It has seldom been onr fortune to witness so truth ful and accurate a representation. Candor, which is the soul of criticism, prohibits the application of this remark to all the performers. In so small a commu nity as oura we can hardly expect a manager, who throws his all into the venture, to fill every part with faultless actors. It is enough if the principal parts, tbe leaders of tbe story, are placed in competent hands, and no generous play-goer will complain if wbat are known as tho inferior parts are represented by young aspirants for histrionic fame, who lack only experience or confidence to make them equal to any call upon their talents. In the part of Mrs. Beverly there are many fine points, and none of them were lost sight of by Mrs. Chirp. Such was the placid answer to Stukeiy, when he nnmaaka himself before her: 44 But. no^r I know tbee; and thank thee for the knowledge.” There is in this sentence the expression of a relief from tbe fearful doubts, raised in her mind by the artful Stuke iy but a moment before, of her husband's fidelity to her. Tbe patient, affectionate wife bad borne all, unmurmuring, nntil this scene in which her jealousy was successfully invoked against her busbaud ; and then, when the proposal of her husband’s destroyer opened her eyes to bis motives, she seemed to fly back to her faith in that husband’s constancy, and to her devotion. Snch was her just conception and faithful representation of tbe part throughout. Of Mr. Crisp's Bcveriy wc can point out no fault. He is naturally of a figure and manner to represent tbe gentleman; and, without this, no tragedian may ever hope to be successful in that part. The agoniz ing remorse of the thriftless gamester, tbe immova ble confidence in the friendship offals destroyer, with tbe occasional gleam of hope that another venture may retrieve his lost honor and restore him to the position be has lost, all blended so harmoniously in bis acting, that be seemed to be, and not to act, the gamester. A finer scene was never oresented on the stage than his accusation of Stukeiy of having been tbe cense of his losses, and his threat to finish both their lives: 44 Show me the means to save me; or I’ll commit a murder here, t.’.d next upon myself.” Io this moat difficult scene, there was no ranting, no coarse brntal gesture, nor yet was there want of feel ing or energy, and the natural violence of a terribly agitated brain. Mr. Donaldson made his first appearance in our city )n the character of Stukeiy. If Mr. Donaldson baa not made the great Boom bis model, bis imita tion of that immortal actor is a wonderful coinci dence. In voice, in Restore, in attitude—In every, thing but figure—he la the likeness of Booth. With tbe power to be this, it is no wonder that he made a moat favorable Impression npon tbe audience. A bet ter personation of the vnltnre-like Stnkely it bu not been onr lot to witness. His scenes with tbe avari cious Bates, (whose youthful representative may Im prove with experience,) bis Insetting offer to Mrs. Beverly, hit canning suggestions to Beverly, and fall cowardly, yet bold, reception of tbe inrnrialed Law- son, were all, alike, masterpieces of acting. Mr. Don- ald&om's position is fixed. He is a favorite In Sa vannah. Tbe character ol Charlotte wm ably instained by Miss Dickens. And the part of Lawson, the honest friend of Beverly, wu maintained with confidence and spirit by Mr. Booms. It is fortunate that the Circus will soon be here, and then tbe true lovers of the stage may be able to enjoy at (be theatre tbe beauties of tbe drama. For It is probable that tbe witticisms ot the clown will prove a stronger attraction than tbe pathetic devo tion and tbe aged, tottering step of tbe venerable Jarvis, whose every appearance, on Tuesday night, wu a signal for mirth and hilarity, with some of tbe — who aseaud to have strangely mists* tbe forte, _ became so greet that the bridge enddealy gate way, precipitating tome fifty, oftuMlnieriM*' women and children, Into tbe wa- ter.

Mr. h'iugleton, of Lampkin, moved to Ly the amendment on the tabic for the balance of tbe session.— Mr. Dawson spoke in defence of this amendment, and Messrs. Whitworth. Echols, and Bailey opposed it. Mr. Whitworth said that the office of Justice ol the Peace was an impor tant one, and unless their jurisdiction was extended, we cannot get reliable and competent men to fill the office.— The motion to lay on the table was carried. Mr. Echols of fered an amendment, as follows : That the defendant may stay executions for ninety day*, by giving sufficient secu rity. Mr. Pope spoke against the bill. Ue ; thought the b 11 a very important one. and thought tbe gentleman in favor of tho bill were mistaken in their views of it. He considered it an act of oppression to poor men instead of a benefit to them in pecuniary matters. He wa* replied to by Dr. Bailey, who thought that the present law on that subject was a great drawback upon poor men. Mr. Echols' amendment was agreed to. Mr. Miller amended it further, by adding an additional section : Tint they shall not try more than one case, tie- tween the same parties, at one term. This was adopted.— Mr. White was opposed to changiog the old law. Thought it answered every purpose. The bill wa* put upon its passage, and the yeas and nays were called. Yeas 24. nays 45. The bill was therefore lost. We are glad this bill waa defeated tbe sreond time, for the pa**age of such a bill would by no mean* effect the ob ject aimed tt by it* supporter*. They advocate the bill upon the ground that it will be a great benefit to poor men. It was clearly shown by the opponent* of the bill that it would have exactly a contrary effect, and bean oppression rather than a benefit. The law now stands just as it wa* before allowing their jurisdiction over thirty dollars. We think that this answers every purpose, and ought to remain a* it is. On motion of Dr. Bailey, of Whitfield, so much of the journal of yesterday as relates to tho bill to incorporate Fightingtown Mining Companies, was reconsidered. Mr. Pope, of Wilkes, offered a resolution, which was agreed to, that the committees on the census and on new counties be consolidated, to report upon the number of Re- presentatives which each county shall have. There are counties which up to this time have had two Representa- tivea. which have had new counties formed from them. This resolution it intended to find out whether these coun ties are still entitled to that number. Mr. Moseley, of Spaulding, introduced a bill to amend tbe several acts lncor]>oratiug the town of Griffin ; also a bill to add a p*rt of Henry County to Spaulding County ; also a bill to authorize any Justice of Superior Court to bind out all free persons of color under the age of 21. Mr. Brown, of Thomas—A bill to amend the road laws, to far as relates to the county of Thomas.

C.,) Whig of the 30th, cornea to ns, with the details of a horrible aflair, the partic ulars of which, in brief, ere aa follows : There lus been great excitement in Washington the past week on account of tbe trial of Rev. G. W. Caraw&n for tbe murder of C. H. Lassiter, in Hyde county, in November ot tut year. The trial com- menced on Wednesday last in the Superior Court, Judge Bally presiding. Carawan is 56 years old, and for many jears has been a popular preacher In tbe Baptist Church—a man of strong will, exercising a powerful influence over bis friends, and feared m much as bated bv his foes. Lassiter was a quiet young man engaged in tbe business of teaching. Some montha before the murder Lassiter boarded in the bouse of Carawan, and a qnarrel arose between them. Carawan talked very free!? among bis neigh bors—said that L. ought to be shot—that shooting was too good for him, and that he and L could not both live in tbe same neighborhood, Ac., Ac..and Anally tried to get oat e peace warrant against L., al leging that be had attempted to take his life. He went on in this way for some time, when L. sued blm for slander, laying tbe damages at $2,000. A few boon after tbe writ wu served on C., Lassjter waa murdered under circntnsUncee of peculiar atroc ity, and inch as leR bnt little reasonable donbt that Carawan was tbe murderer. After his imprisonment in Hyde county jail, he tried to get a friend to hire the princlpiu witness against him to go away. He bad given, bo said in one of the letters, llary (bis wife) $500 to get Sawyer off—if that would'nt do, give him $1000—and if that would'nt do, he (hi* friend) most get rid of Sawyer 44 by book or crook," aad not suffer hia (C'a) "neck to be broke.” Carawan has maintained bis self-control throughout tbe trial. He la a fine looking man. Els wife, apparently abont bis own age, and bis three ohlldrea have been with him daring the trial, accompanying him to and from tbe Court House and jail. After giving these details and a synopsis of tbe trial the Whig gives tbe seqnel as follows: Thb Verdict—Guilty—Gakawan Shoots Mr. Warrem aks Kills Hiksilv 1—At hair-past eight this morning, tbe jury came la with a verdict of Gouty.
