Dp’t. 0 IEFENOKEE SWAMP A hill was passed last legislature, authoriz ing the Governor to appoint a surveyor for flic purpose of surveying the Okefenokee _ Swamp, and-.-ascertain the practicability of Its drainage, the coßt of the same, &.c. Mr. R. L. Hunter, of Baldwin, was select ed by his Excellency for the performance of _ this arduous duty, aud organized a corps of engineer*, consisting of the following gentle men : Mr. M. B. Grant, of Savannah, first assistant; Mr. C. M. Forsyth, of Columbus, second assistant; and Messrs. M. Grieve and R. Harris, of MUledgevillc, and Wm. Bur amgli, of Savannah, as general assistants.— Ho left Milledgevilie on the 3d of December, sad returned on the 3d of April, of the pres ent year,having occupied, in the accomplish ment of the object of tha bill, just four mouths. A full and accurate report of the •urvey accompanied by a well executed map of the swamp, by Mr. M. B. Grant, Iras been presented to the legislature for in spection. Tlie report is very complete and thorough, and contains information upon all taints contemplated in the origination of tho ill,instructing the survey. Mr. Hunter and his assistants deserve much credit for the masterly manner in which the work hns.be.en consummated. There were many difficul ty contend with—the inclemencies of the wintery weather, the rough condition of the cwainp, its dense undergrowth of shrubbery, its watery, boggy smi'ace, exposure night and day to cold rains, against which they had no adequate protection,the want of good provisions and drinkable water, besides total enaequnintance with the locality. All tlie.se conspired to make the work one of hardship, fatigue and inconvenience. The difficulties wore all overcome, however, with indefatign- Ho labor and untiring zeal, and ns complete Mid exhaustive a survey of the swamp was made as the requirements of .their instruc tions demanded, bd as was necessary fora complete inveatigtftion of the, imture nt’ the locality. They first proceeded around ‘the awamp, and then mado three principal explo rations of it, besides many smaller ones.— : The first exploration occupied, three weeks j in its completion, and so many and great j were (lie difficulties impending them that they made an average progress of only three quarters of a mile daily, suffering all the time intensely from bitter cold, want of food . and water, and conveniences for general com fort and health. They found the to contain several islands, and small prairies in terspersed through the thickets of white hog bushes, bamboo briers, Ate., in ’which grow the cypress and pino and palmetto. The last two explorations only occupied about a wook'cnch. Tbo whole area of tlio swamp is about four hundred thousand four hundred and thirty acres, of which five thousand five hundred and thirty fie. in Florida, and three | hundred nnd ninety four thousand nine bun dled in Georgia, one .hundred nnd eighty nine thousand six Hundred Pin] thirty are rep resented ns surveyed, leaving two ’ hundred •lid five thousand” tivi. hundred and fifty-six uuKUiveyed. Os those surveyed about twen ty fhousund Hre ungranted, hence the State possesses about two Hundred and twenty-five thousand two hundred And fifty-six acres of rich uncultivated land, useless for wnut of drainage, that is believed,upon very fair cal culation, to be practicable. The swamp from North to Smith is thirty-nine and* a half inilos; from East to West twenty-five and a halt miles. The cost of tlio drainage ns estimated liy Mr. Hunter is as follows : 46(10,00(1 cubic yard* of excavation in swamp at 35 cent* lf-'37 > ,500 00 710,000 % “ “ “ on canal to Spanish creek, nt :. 88,750 00 For opening channel of Ktfwaneoriver. 10,000 00 For *• - •* St. llarya “ 7,000 00 For “ “ “ Cypress creek, and Alligstor and Sweet Water bran- Che,...: ~ . 8,000 00 Land damages, say 6,000 00 Engineering and contingencies..,'....... 60,000 00 Total .'. ...J.... .... .. .. ..*1,007,050 00 In the conclusion of this very excellent nnd comprehensive report, Mr. Hunter thus writca : “ I do not deem it a part of my du ty. to advise * the drainage of the swamp, or? otherwise. Tho Legislature will, doubtless, dispose of the subject in such a manner as wisdom and good policy may dictates Jt is, perlmps, not improper for me to express my opinion, formed from l)r. Lee’s and my own observation, that the soil of the swamp, if it slmH ever be drained, will be very valuable. I believe, also, that the drainage of the awamp can be effected for something like tho stun mentioned In the foregoing estimate. If j that be the cne, and the expense thereof lie ! charged to the State’a portion of tho land, i •vix : two hundred and twenty-five thousand two hundred and fifty ix acres, it would cost four dollars and seventy-five cents per acre; but if the expeuse be divided by the whole number of acres eoutained in the swamp, it would amount .to about two dollars nnd sixty aix cents per acre. - The analysis of eight samples of the •*, by Jfr. Lev, proves the soil to contain ‘ j tie richest elements of fertility, easily made available for agricultural productions, by drainage, fee. The cost of the snrvey, exclusive of Mr. Hunter’s compensation, was two thousand seven hundred and eighty dollars snd fifty one cents. It is to be Imped that Mr. Hun ter will be liberally compensated by the leg-, islatnte for his valuable services in the suc cessful prosecution of this survey.

Resolved, That this meeting re affirms their approbation of.and ardent attachment to, the principlow of the Kansas and Nebraska act,and of the Cincinnati Platform,in relation thereto, and that in, view of the state of af fairs in Kansas we recur witli especial em phasis to tho fallowing resolutions of that Platform* 1. Resolved, Tjiat claiming fellowship with and desiring the'eo-operatiou of all who regard tlie preservation of the Union under tho Constitution as the paramount issue—and repudiating all sectional parties ami Platforms concerning domestic slavery, which seek to ..embroil the States and incite to treason nnd armed resistance to law in the Territories; nnd whoso avowed purposes, if consumnted —must end in civil war and —the American Democracy recognise and adopt the principles contained in tlie organic laws establishing the Territories of Kansas ami Nebraska as embodying the only sound and safe solution of the “ Slavery question” upon which, the great national idea of this whole country can repose its determined conserva tism of tlie Union— Non-interference by Congress with slavery in State and Territo ry or in the District of Columbia. 2. That this wait the hasijKpf tho Com promises of 1850—confirmed Eiy both the, Democratic and Whig-parties in national Con ventions—ratified by the people in the. elec tion of 1852 —and rightly applied to the or ganization of Territories in 1854. 3. That by the uniform application of this Democratic principle to tho organization of tcritories, and to*tho admission of new. States, with or Without domestic slavery as Mey may elect, the equal rights of all the ates will he preserved intact—the original compacts of tlie Constitution maintained in violate—and tlie perpetuity and expansion of this Union insured to its utmost capacity of embracing in pence and harmony, every future American State that may be constitu ted or annexed w ith n republican form of government. Rerolved, That wc reognizo the right of tlio people of all the Territories, including Kansas nnd Nebraska, acting through tbo le gally and fairly expressed will of a majority of actual residents, and wlienevei tho number of their inhabitants justifies ifftoform a Con stitution with or without domestic slavery, and he admitted into the. Union upon terms of perfect equality with the other States. 2. Be it further Resolved by this meeting —That the principles and sentiments em bodied and set forth in President Buchanan’s Inaugural Address being in conformity with the above and foregoing resolves, meet our cordial approval; and his general administra tion thus far, meets our like approval. 3d. Resolved, That the position of Gov ernor Walker in his Inaugural Address, in throwing the weight of his official opinion, founded upon climate, Ate., against the Southern side of tlie question in tlie Terri tory, in proclaiming that the Constitution of Kansas should be snbtnitted for ratification as the only inode of /adoption when ** the le gally and fuirly expressed will of the ma jority of the actual residents” of tho Territory n ought, determine upon another, and in declar ing tlie class of voters to whom only it should be submitted, when “ the legally and fairly expressed wijl of a majority of tlie people might determine otherwise, was in plain, pal pable, and. dangerous violation of tlie princi ples tff The Kansas Act, as set forth and embodied in the foregoing resolutions. 4th, Resolved, That in our judgement, from the lights,’before us, this conduct on the part of Gov. Walker, ns well as.his late ille gal Interference with tho returns of election in Kansas, require his removal, sth. Resolved, That whenever a territory applies for admission ns a State into the Union, with a constitution republican in form, and adopted in. pursuance of the re quirements of law, Congress lias no poavgr to inqure into the matter of such constitution, nor into the. manner of its-adaption, futher than to see that it embodies the legally and fairly expressed will ‘of (lie majority of the people ascertained in such way as they may have legally determined for themselves, and regard any interference by Congress, with cither the matter or the. ‘manner as above statecT, as equally unconstitutional and dan gerous to tlie. rights of tlio States.— 6th. Resolved, That we. regard a strict and rigid adherence to these principles, with out looking to the actuaLresulls of their practical operation, as essential to the peace and safety of’ the Union, as well us tho rights of the South, and we look, not only'’ to the Northern Democracy, to see to it, that they arc firmly maintained and carried out in good faith in practice ns well ns, theory.

We have just returned from a visit to this city, and were much pleased to find it im proved in appearance, and in reality every j way. Wo should all feel grateful to ex. j Governor Johnson for the great benefits he has conferred on the State generally, and tho people of Milledgevilie should be espe cially grateful to him for his watchfulness over the prosperity of their city. JUDGE THOMAS, Os Elbert, made a speech in the Repre sentative chamber on Wednesday night, in’ which ho spoke harshness of Governor Walker and Mr. Buchanan. The speech was certainly an .able one, but the crcat fault wc found - was, that he , pointed out no practical remedy. The Democratic party have dcnoiinced Walker, and have called upon the President to remove him, which as 1 yet ho has failed to do. What then i Shall we* break up the. Democratic party on this account ?.....Judge Thomas himself does not-advise this. Shall we in unmeasured terms de.nounce the Presi dent also, and cofulejnn without qualification his administration 1 w \Vliat can we lose lay waiting until the meeting of Congress, nt which tim6 he will have the opportunity, of which lie doubtless will avail himself, to let his true position on this matter be known ?- If he should udm't that Walker’s conduct meets hia-approbation, and especially if lie should plead guilty to a comp!ie : ty with him in his rascality, then we are willing to join men of all parties in denouncing him. It ‘vVill he trifling with tt’sAfor Mr. Buchanan to declare his adhesion to the principle of the Kansas Bill, arurTiTTFie same breatll to admit t hat lie-Jia? been engaged in an infamous scheme of juggling to prevent its practical operation. But we cannot,and donot believe at present, that matters will take this’ turn. THE LEGISLATURE, Is progressing well with its business. It has been my fortune to witbess to some ox tout tlio action of a number of past sessions ms the General Assembly, and I do not think I have ever seen one more disposed” to work than the present. The Srnaje under the able Administration of President Ward, glides smoothly .along im.the discharge of its duties, and the more turbulent House is welt” managed by Mr. Speaker, Underwood.— There is af libernL spirit-prevailing among'fhe members of all sections, and I believo that any measure, to meet their favor and sanc tion, has only to commend itself by. its pro priety nnd justice. ’TtIF, bank -- Question has caused quite a flutter, and much speaking in the House. A law has passed authorizing the tax collectors to re 1 ccive the bills of good solvent flanks, in, pay ! ment of taxes, and this is right. A Qll as ! long as your arm Uas4>oen reported by the ’ committee on banks, and which has already 1 elicited much discussion. This bill in -its present shape cannot and ought not to pass, i Its defender#, when hard pressed, say that . its whole object is to relieve the banks from the penalties of the act of 1840, which pro vides in certain contingencies that the Gov. shall proceed to forfeit their charters. But | this will not do. If this were all, a short 1 bill, of not more than twenty lines would ac complish the otiject much better. We do not < set up as knowing much either about banks or balking, nor do a majority of both brancli- M qf the Legislature, but a good rule iu my 1 judgment by which to be governed, would be j to examine each bill introduced ou the ject closely, aud if benefit* were intended to ( be conferred ou the bank*, and ne eorrespou ding benefit* sought to be conferred on the 1 people, to vote against jt. In pur opiniou,, 1 after what ha* heea done, the suspension ot tlie operation of the act of 1640 for a specifi- i ed time, i about all that should be/done, agreeing a* we do with Governor Brown that tbe less the Legislature “ with the currency the better.’* - _ f’ ‘ . TBnNC/XND BRUNSWICK. We had ardently the difficul ties between these Gmnpatiies wmdd bsve been settled last by.negotiation, hut unfortDnately ipds not so. Mr. Wheeler, the President of she B. <St P.

Alter this, througli tlio intervention of certain gentle men. propositions were made for settlement between the Wheeler asserting that his board would ratify whatever he saw j proper to do. The great (JitM&lty in hia | way seemed to be, that if lie wore to sign a : release in the w ords of the Main Trunk char- I tot* that he would he disposing entirely of his ! franchise, and iu order to relieve him Mr. At kinson, of Camden, drew up It bill defining clearly wlmt he did give up and no more, and also fixing the line of the Road. To the passage of this bill, Mr. Wheeler liis assent. The Main Trunk Company propos ed to/tmend Mr. Mcdonald’s bill with the •substance of Mr. Atkinsons, to which Mr. Whoelor positively nnd peremptorily object ! ed, and here the - matter ended. Wc have j S | never thought that any legislation was nece*- jsary to a settlement of this most! unfortunate J difficulty, hut if it cannot be avoided, Mfc ; Donald’s hill with Atkinson’s fftnendment, or rather amended with hill, in rny judgment meets all the wants of the ease.—- We did not understand Mr. WheelTr as ob jecting to the provisions of McDonald’s bill [.further than that it was a “ sword hung ; about his neck,” and that tie never would nc j gotiate so long as, the other party insisted up jon its passage. ~A nice story truly, that the.

Delhi, the famous city and—arsenal on which all thoughts have been - fixed for months, lias fal len, and the rebellion of the Sepoys lias’,‘re ceived its deathblow. In presence of this great-event every thing .else appears small and trifling. Although the intelligence by fbe present mail is fuller than usual, it seems dwarfed by the interest which attaches to this. miHtary_cxplait. Delhi was.assaulted on the morning •of ,4He 14th of September. The attack was jnade in sous columns, of which one, composed of the Cashmere Contingent, sent to our assistance by the late Gliolab j Singh, was repulsed. The others, however, were successful. ‘ * An entrance was effected at'tlie Cashmere I gate, to the North o’s the city. An advance was made along the ramparts to tlie Cabal gate, on the North-West. Here we learn ■ that the resistance of tine mutineers was ob stinate and our own 1098 serere. It; w* pot until the 16th that the) magaaine ed. On the 20th our troops took ontire pog.’ se.ssion of the city. Our loss was six hun- “ died men. including fifty officers. Os the latter the names of six* are given as having ; - in the assault, and four in the op eratihns preceding it. The slaughter among v the mutineers was no doubt very great. A large number escaped over the bridge, and among them tjie king of Delhi and his two sons disguised in women’s clothes. It i* to be liop*-U that by the next mail wa shall hear that these three miserable chief* of tbe re bellion have been taken itnd executed. The loss to-our troop* Ims been indeed e- v vere, but not more so than might be expect ed from the magnitude of the place, and tha desperation of resistance, aud tlie length of time over which the fighting extended. Tire causalities among the officers have been par ticularly heavy. We will not attempt to condole with those who are bereaved on this sad occasion. Suffice it to say that tboir sons, or brothers, or Husbands, have fallen in accomplishing one of the most brilliant ex ploits of our history, and -in saving their country from by far the greateat calamity 1 which lias threatened it within our time.— The effects of the capture of Delhi will be, no doubt, immediate and complete. Tbe neck of the rebellion is indeed broken.

THE BEST COURSE FOB THE SOUTH TO PUBBtfk INJTHE PRESENT CRISIS. We have in the four great staples, cotton, sugar, s i ice a ik( tobacco,. now ripe and going into market, sufficient, if sold, at the ruling prices oT last treason, to bring one hundred and seventy millions of dollars. The South is therefore in a good condition so far as her own resources are concerned ; hut site can’t sell all her great staple, owing to the failures and suspensions in the Northern States, and in Europe.” It is believed to be the first time in the history of New Or leans that cottorf was not convertible into money—was not money. This state of things, after a season, be gins to cause suspensions in banks and busi ness houses in the South; and after having struggled through the season, doling out the last pound of the great staples for almost a a"song, oneJ>y one, or in small divisions, they must continue, to drop d®wn, and dike ami army defeated in detail, suffering all the evils of war and at the same time giving cheap victories to the onmpmmra, nor money Slid staples wilt have fallen into the hands of those whose wild speculations gave rise to the present condition of trade; the debts of the .South will remain unpaid, and she will have nothing left to pay them with. Now, if all would, by consent, suspend (not repudiate,) arid keep their means— -their money, cotton, sugar rice and tobacco — till* the troubles blow by in the?'North andrin the water, then they could go on soiling rapidly at the ruling prices- of last season, if no more and paying off their debts as rapidly. Ibis course, would save the planter from haying his cotton, sugar, rice and’ tobacco sacrificed, an enable him, by sales at a fair price, to pay off his debts', the merchant would have the credit throughout the country of having done it for the protection of the planters, and when all suspended, none .could suffer in tho Smith in credit, or, in • pecuniary point of view, and the North is past injury in either. Besides, she has n6 right to complain, inasmuch as her just stock bubbles and inflated trade produce the Occa sion. We had no hand in it. We were ready at an early day in the season, with our great staples to redeem every dollar es our liabilities,and aro still ready, not asking the inliated prices their folly fed us with is the opening of the Beason, but the ruling prices- for last crop. Indeed their conduct has already injured us twenty millions of dollars at least. The effect of the drop, down aadstand still in our market (the work | of their own hands, not ours in Europe, wB result in aToss of at least that much. ! Then why should tho South, who is not at ! fault, and has .ample means at fair prices to ‘ to discharge all her obligations pursue tlio present destructive ‘course! Gui bono ! : for those whoso wildness did the mischief, w e are letting them liaye our means for a song, and holding on to .our debts with a death grip.
