The Reclaimed swamp Lands.

The board cf Swamp Land Commissioners. coIn- posed of MesscrS Trousdale. Taylor.and Buckner, held meeting fer the purpose of fixing the price of the reclsimed swamp lands, yesterday.
 It is made the f1st duty Of the Commissioners by the Sd section Of the law under which they act. ''io fix the price of the swamp sad overhowed lands donated to this State by the Act of Congress ap. proved 2s,h September. 1850, ia their present con dtion, taking into consideration then locality and the value that will be added to said lands by their reclamation.
 We understand that m compliance with this re- quiSiton they had already fixed the price Of DOT ton of these lands. bat the prees agreed upon were disapproved by the goyernor as being below the minimum standard.
 The law requires that none of these lands shall be ssld for less thaa sfty cents per acre. but The commissioners deem that thls provision does not
 limit them ii the uaiAaOa of the lands, for the law also provides that they shall he sold for as much higher prsce than the valuation. as may be obtain cd. W
 The object of this commission, and the intention of the act of the last General Assembly IS to insure the erectcn of complete line Of Ievees, wherever they may be heeded upon the rivers and water courses from winch these lands are inundated, and the true interests of the State, demand the speedy reclamation and rapid settlement of these lands. If valued ct too hisA pEice 10 induce contracts for Inc construction of the Ievees. the whole en- terprise must fail, the contractors are 10 be paid only in the lands or m scrip, which may be located sapon them.
 Ne leaEa that lssse PsstieE ef these lands have been offered al government; pFice for twenty years, and such have not already been selected for the State, may now te located wi,h military .and wal rants al sixty ceats per scre. To enable he con- nssionsss to complete the undertaking eonfde,i ,o them 1t wall be necessary ts hs The valuation at such rates as will offeT inducements to the con 1actcrs to oaild the necessary leyees.
 We h.ve not yet heard what proceedings have been had by the board. ha; we hope that they may De able to obtain the necessary approval cf the Governor, of such prces as will enable them io progress wIth the work.
 From the estimates already made, attef paying the whole expenses of the reclamation. there vii. hs several milton acres oiTeelsr5ei lands remain ing sothe State, the proceeds of which may be 3D. piled to some other profitable ea,elpr,se Ths would be valuable addition is the funds Tor inter- nal improvement.
