WASHINGTON, ScptcTlDcI IS4S.
4 few Words about the Ferida Everglades agaix-
n Brief Description of them-Ihe Importance
the Proposed Drainage-Hiinois Senator" Long
John Camp Meeting, &c.
In former letter spoke about the bill, lntroduc
ed IN the Senate two days before the adjournment
OF Congress- to authorize the draining of the ever
glades in the State Of Florida. This Is proposed
to be effected by canals so that, if practicable
communication may be made, by such canals, for
vessels between the Gulf and the Atlantic waters
The cost of the proposed work, as estimated by
typographical officers, is about half million of
dollars The quantity of lands, capable Of being
reclaimed and rendered fit Tor cultivation, is about
one million of acres. Some of these lands, ARE
continually, and the residue occaslonly only,
covered with water. The everglades, according
TO an Official report, extend from the southern
margin of Lake Okechobee some ninety miles to-
wards Cape Sable, the southern extremity of the
peninsula of Florida, and in width, from thirty to-
fifty miles. They lie In vast basin Of lime rock.
Their waters are entirely iresh varying from S On,
twelve feet above that Of the waters Of the straits
OF Florida and OF the Atlantic Ocean, but OF course
not so great above the Gulf Of Mexico. As the
everglades stand southwardly from Lake Okecho-
bee, they gradually decline and their waters move
in the same course. They have their origin in the
copous rains which fall in that latitude during the
autumn and in the overflow OF Lake Okechobee,
through swamps between it and the everglades.
They are studded with thousands OF islands, of
various sizes, from one-fourth of an acre to hum
dreds of acres IN area, and which are generally
covered with dense thickets of shrubbery and
vince Occasionally an island is found with lofty
pines and palmettos upon IT, but oftener they
