SWAMP LAND SALEs-We have understood that there is disposition among some of our legislators to suspend operations on the swamp lands. Whatever may be done, we sincerely hope the right to enter Swamp and overflow ed iands,' with scrip or money, will not be ta- ken away. It would unquestionably inhict serious injury upon the growing prosperity of the State. The swamp lands are being settled up daily by an industrious and thriving popu- iation, and to cut of their opportunities of en- terng them at the State land office will be ei- ther to place them at the mercy of swamp land spectators, who are large holders, or to drive them from the State.

VIDARI's REVOLUTION SUCCEssFUL.-We have been favored, says the New Orleans True Delta, by friend In commercial house, With the perusa of letter written at Guerrero. ID the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico, on the 10th ut, which states that Vidauri and Garza's troois had pitched battle near Monterey, in winch the latter lost every thing; Garza barely saving hls own person by escaping through the Huahouca road. This information is from a most respectable merchant, and he vouches for Its perfect reliability. Vidauri's success will have great effect upon Comonfort's govern ment. ltwas thought. that if defeated, Vi daurl would have proclaimed the "Serra Ma dre Republic" At least such was the opinion of some his intimate acquantances previous to the battle. It now remains to be seen whether he will do so, anyhow.

THE AGE OF HoRsEs.-A few days aco we met gentlemen from Alabama who gave us piece of information in regard to ascertaining .he age or horse, after he or she has passed the hihtI year, which was new to us, and will be, we think, to most of our readers.

BoTroMLEss PIT.-The Bottomless Pit in the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, is suspected by many to run through the whole diameter oe the earth. The branch terminates in it, and the explorer suddenly finds himself brought upon its brink, standing upon projected plat form surrounded on three sides by darkness and terror, guilt on the right and gulf on the left, and before him what seems an, inter- minable void. He looks aloft, but no eye has yet reached the top of the great overarching dome; nothing is there seen but the flashing of the water dropping from above, smiling as it shoots by in the unwonted geam of the lamp. He looks below, and nothing there meets his glance save darkness, as thick as lampback, but he hears wild mournful melody of water, the waing of the brook for the green and the sunny channel left in the upper world, never more to be revisited Down goes rock, tum- bled over the cliff by the guide, who is of the opinion that folks come here to see and hear, not to muse and be melancholy. There it goes-crash. it has reached the bottom. No -hark, it strikes again; once more and again. still falling. Will 1t never stop? Ones hair begins to brste as ke hears the sound repeated, growing less and less, until the ear can follow it no longer. Certainly if the pit of Frederick shall be eleven thousand feet deep, the Bottom less Pit of the Mammoth Cave must be its equal.
