Zen. Scott.-A telegraphic despatch to the
P'eayune, dated New York, June IA, says that
Gen. Scott still steadily refuses to make any
pledges in regard to his course if he is nomina-
ted and elected President. He says that his
past career and character in public life are the
only pledges he has to offer. 1t is rumored
that Mr.. Fillmore will resign his claims on the
Wing party in favor of Mr.. Webster.

were furnished the commissioners of the Vari-

that at the polls there is no party--no differ

The Swamp Lands of Louisiana.
T FOlII lIlt DtIta.
BATON ROUGE, La, May %,

BATON ROUGE, LA, May Is, 1882.
Eds. Della: | noticed an article in the :sPic,"
of yesterday, in relation to the effort to obtain
grants of land for railroad purposes in Louisi-
ana, and some suggestions in relation to the
drainage Of the swamp lands" by the State.
The State has, within a few days past, received
patents for 6,547, 755 50, 100 acres of the swamp
land donated by act of Congress of lS49.
None of the selections under the act of 1850
have as yet been approved. By a reasonable
calculation, we may expect the approval of
100000 more, making the entire amount near
100000 acres. Out Of this quantity, a safe
estimate may be made Of 5000, 900 acres, that
will be reclaimed and sold, if substantial levees
are made on the Mississippi river. The State
will likely never attempt the expensive and un-
certain system of drainage which has been so
successfully demonstrated in and about New
Orleans. MIR. Benjamin's views, as expressed
in the Senate last winter, on the proposition to
dispose OF a million of acres of swamp land,
are to my mind very just and correct. "SeiI
the millions 0 f%acres, build your ~levees, and the
work of reclamation is nearly done. You will
by this make all the lands, not actually COW
cred by lakes and sea marsh, worth the price
placed upon these, ISL 25) one dollar and
twenty-five cents per acre. You will create
confidence and encourage settlement. Your
now dense forests will become cultivated feds.
The planters in lower Louisiana claim this at
your hands"
The above is the substance of his remarks,
which must strike the practical man as the prac-
t'cal course to pursue. Twill give the locations
of the approved selections, that all may form
an estimate of how near this simple plan, with
out much expense, is to save the lands and be
the source of incalculable blessings to the
State:

New orleans " ...2,074,S71 70 /"
1reensbury ...... 177,315 46 i"
Such Is the want of confidence in the perma.
nence of the ~levees, it is all "guess work" to
say how much Of the 1000, 900 acres ordered
to be sold will be purchased; but | learn from
the Land Office here, where | obtain the above
facts, that there have been many applications.
and parties at a distance from the Seat of Gov.
eminent have already deposited funds here to
pay for lands as soon as they can be sold,
which will be the 18th June. The impress.
sion prevails that the sales will be large; if so
Ind the money be judiciously employed in 'evee-
ing the Mississippi, there will be left an amount
equal to at least 100000 to the State, which
may use for any purpose. The law of
Congress, donating the land, requires that SO
much as may be necessary shall be EMPLOYED
IN leveeing and draining the land. This, it is
believed, will be accomplished. so far 40 the
