MORE PUBLIC LANDS FOR RAILROADS. -Tho Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, writing on the Sd, says:
 It is reported here that several Southern and Western railroad com panies have combined together and will soon attempt to get through Con gress a bill, the result of which will give some one hundred and sixty mil lions of acres of public lands to said companies. This is independent of the Pacific railroad scheme. At this rate the public domain will soon be entire ly absorbed by spectators, and the new settler be compelled to pay prices for land three and four times that e8- tablished by the government. Sixteen millions of acres were given away to railroad spectators at the last ses- sion.

AgricuEsuFaI society.

As will be seen, suggestion IS made in to-day's paper that public meeting be held at the Court House on the 1st proximo, to make preliminary arrangements for forming an Agri- cultural Society. The propriety, fea- sibility and advantages of such an as sociation in Phillips county, we some time since attempted to portray, and 1t is a source of pleasure to us to sec that our efforts have not been altogeth- CT thrown away, but have at least had the effect of bringing the subject prom inently before the planting and farm ing community. The call for the meeting is from most respectable source, and will, we confidently hope, meet with that attention it so deserved lv merits.

WHY SHOULD WE SUFFER when the great est medicine which has ever been offered to the afflicted is within the reach of all. We allude to Hurley's Sarsaparilla, a remedy of undoubted efficacy, and singularly success full in the cure of various diseases to which mankind is subject. Thousands of well marked cases of hereditary scrofula, and thousands more of other diseases incl dental to the climate, such as Bronchitis, Chronic Rheumatism, Diseased Liver, Scor- butte Eruptions, and the interminable list of skin diseases (arising from impurities of the blood) have been speedily and efectual- Iy removed by its use. Give it trial, but allow no other to be palmed off upon you.

 COTTON.-We left the Cotton Market at the close of our last weekly report with a very quiet appearance, and with sierprices for buyers. On Saturday the demand inn proved little, but was not general, the sales reaching some 600 bales, at about previous figures. The inquiry was fair on Monday, but as factors claimed very full prices the transactions were limited to 6500 bales, the market closing without any quotable ad- vance though quite firm. On Tuesday buy CTS came forward rather more freely, and about II ,000 bales changed hands at prices which required an advance in our figures of about Bc for most grades, but on Wednes- day, with rain most of the day, the business fell of to $500 bales, prices being without further change. On Thursday the market opened with a rather active demand, and though holders were claiming very full prices purchasers were found for about 1O,5O0 bales, the closing rates tending to outside figures, though showing no quo table ad- vance. Yesterday the inquiry was fair, but the supply was poorly assorted and factors were claiming still fuller prices, and the sales were confined to about 4,50O bales. The market continued to tend in favor of sellers, and we further amend our quotations The entire business of the week is about 44,000 bales. We now quote:

Negro Tnsurrecti0Es.

Great alarm has existed in many To- calities in the South, within the last few months, in regard to. contempla- ted servile instructions. In some in- stances, developments have been made which leave no doubt that serious out breaks may have occurred but for the timely and fortunate discovery of the fendish plans concocted by the mis- guided and ignorantbIacks. There is but little doubt that the disturbances in and about the Iron Works of Ten ncssee and Kentucky would have as
 sumed very serious aspect, if those engaged had have had a few weeks further time. Atrccious murders of whole families might have been com mitted, in some instances, at the first outbreak, but 1t would have ultimately resulted in certain death to the perpe- trators;-eor 1t is idle for the slave po- pulation, and their accWsed and dam nable white abattors, to think that an instruction can result ill anything but destruction to all who engage in it. Even had their plans been carried out, asindicated by the confessions of some of the negroes near the Lafayette Iron Works, to murder the whites and fight their way into Illinois, they would have been followed into that State by citi- zcns of Kentucky and Tennessee, ,1so soon as sufficient force could letG been collected, and put to .desasfh wherever foundI Fanatics, 5y the constant agi- tation of the slavery question, are in a great measure answerable for the consequences that might ensuc from seryile instructions, and are the worst enemies the slave has. Their course can only have the effect of rendering the condition of the slave infinitely worse than 1t otherwise would be. The attempt to rebel, or the mere fact of the slave harboring the idea ofrebelI- ing, when known, is sufficient for the Eindest and most indulgent master to keep tight rein upon him, to more closely watch his movements, and ire quently 10 deny him many little priyi- leges that would otherwise be a plea sure to him. Hence, the work of bad, designing white men, not only iniures the owner, but also the slave. The Southern blacks, when properly treat ed, are doubtless the happiestand best contented serfs or yassals upon earth, and any attempt to improve their con- dition by force of arms can only re- suit detrimental to them.
 That movements of this charac- ter have been on foot in various sec- tions of the country, as we before re- marked, is certainly true. Whether or not there was really anything con- templated by the negroes of this coun- ty, as was reported about the first of November, we are unable to say; yet it would not be amiss for shareholders, and other citizens, during the ap- proaching holydays, to carefully notice their movements. When negroes are permitted to come into town, they should in every instance be provided with pass, stating the time allowed to stay, and during the week the County Court and town authorities should keep up patrol, composed fprudcnt men. These precautions may to some seem unnecessary, but no harm is likely to result from their observance, whilst they might be of great benefit.

 OKEFEN0KEE SWAMP. .-The Georgia State Legislature has taken under con- sideration the project of draining the celebrated OkefenOkee Swamp, with a view to its ultimate sale and cultiva- ton; and the Governor has appointed Mir. Hunter, an experienced engineer of MilledgeviIle, to survey its locality, for the purpose of determining the feasibility of the proposed improve ment. This great area of waste land is situated in the southern part of the State, between the rivers St. Mary and Luwanne, and contains about half a million acres of the richest soil in Georgia. Mir. Hunters object is to ascertain whether the bed of the swan is above the bed of these rivers, so as to admit of its waters be- ing drained in either or both of them. Should this land be reclaimed, it will add vastly to the agricultural resources of the State, especially in the culti- vation of rice. Mir. Hunter is now in Savannah with a corps of assistants, or the way to enter upon the immediate discharge of his duty.
