Swamp and Overflowed Lands.

We have obtained from the Governor and publish below copy of a letter from the Com missioner of the General Land office.
 Many of our readers will be gratified to learn by it, that the lands selected and reported to the general land office before the third day of March, 1857, as enuring to this State, under the act of Congress of 18th Sept, 1850, were confirmed to the State by au act of Congress, approved Sd March, 1857.
 This will give new impulse to the great work of leveeing our rivers and draining our swaMps; and as upwards of twenty thousand dollars in gold have already been paid into the State treasury under the supplementary act of the General Assembly, approved 18th January, 1857, and as swamp land scri Is nearly at par, and all levee work and ditching contracted for, after the 18th January, 1857, will be paid for in gold and silrsr, the contractors have been working with energy; and they have good cause to thank the General Assembly for passing the act which is operating so we'll for their interests This act will effect much good by hastening the reclamation of the swamp lands, and at the same time will cause specie to flow into the State treasury, 50 that the scrip system aoiN be d,quen out cf use; and as nothing but gold aud silver are received for revenue or paid out for all other expenditures of the State, so will noth- ing but hard money be paid for retaining swamp and overflowed lands, under all contract, made since 18th January, 1857.
The true Democrat., 1857-03-24
MOmentOus Questions Settled.

We are enabled this week to present more full and correct statement of the all-important points decided by the Supreme Court at Wash ington, in the Dred Scott case The opinion of the court was fully and eaborately express sed, and settles directly the following points
 l. Negroes, whether slaves or free-that is men of the African race, are not citizens of the United States by the constitution.
 2. The ordinace of 17S7 had no independ- ent constitutional form or legal effect subse- quentIy to the adoption of the constitution. an'i could not operate of itself to confer free dom or citizenship within the northwest terri tory on negroes not citizens by the coustitutlou
 5. The provision of the act of 1920. com mOnly called the Missouri compromise in so lar as T. undertook to exclude negro slavery from, and communicates freedom and citizen. snip to, negroes III the northern part of the Louisiana cesson, was a legislative act exceed ing the powers of Congress and void, and of no legal effect to that end.
 h deciding these main points. the Supreme Court determined the following incidental points:
 l. The expression "territory and other pro- perty' of the Union, in the constitution. an- piles in terms only to such territory as the Union possessed it the adoption of the constitution.
 Z The rights of citizens of the United States. emsrating into federal territory, and the DOW CT ot the federal government there, depend on the general provisions of the constitution. which defines in that, as in all other respects, the powers of Congress-
 3 As Congress does not possess power i;self to make enactments relative to the persons or property of citizens Of the United States iu federal territory other than such as the consti- tuton conters, so it cannot constitu 'ionalv de- legate any such power to territorial govern ment organized by it under the constitution.
 The legal condition of slave in the State of Missouri Is not affected by the temporary sojour oI such slave in any other State; but on hls return his condition still depends on the laws of Missouri
 The delivery of this opinion, says the Washington Union, occupied about two hours. and was listened to with profound attention bv a crowded courtroom; and, whether as a de- clsion of the Supreme Court, or for the consti- tunonal arguments ou which 1t stands. will ex crt the most powerful and sautary influence throughout the United States.

An DneXampied Record,

No greater tribute to the democratic adm, nlstration of President Pierce can be paid ths, the New York Times pays to it, in the follow ing, which we extract from that black reputk can paper:
 "The annual report of the federal treasirl department affords the highly atislactory, aat, Tn the magnitude of the sum, unexpected i'' formation, that the foreign trade of the couni! for the treasury year ending Both of June lsii shows balance in favor of the United SElI* Of Sl2324,976. The previous semi-officia F turns had authorized the confident estimate thb the balance would be at least five million diF lars; but as the figures for the port of Nef York, and as the general trade of the county during the period-Aprl to June 3O-hag' gone ahead of the most sanguine caIculatorS we have now the pleasure of congratulating oai financial readers upon precise official result |" the whole year, the magnitude of which h' no parallel in the history of government"
 But while the above reluctant admission made by the Times, in New York, what a' our political adversaries in Georgia, in relefeD' to It, and to the onward progress of democs5 tlc hdelity to the great interests of the Unoss Does not the prosperity of the country and 'D 7. condition of the federal treasury, prove ult,1 exclusively the wisdom of democratic Ius, Why, then, oppose it, for the mere sake ol " position, or to gratify the ambition of party i.s c
The true Democrat., 1857-03-24
Hon. Caleh Cushing.

This distinguished jurst and profound states man on retiring from the position which he occu- pied as member of Mir. Pierce's cabinet ad dressed the Supreme Court of the United States as follows:
 May it please your Honors-l beg leave to submit motion as to the public business, the dismissal of certain appeals specified in the ac- companying list It is the last official act which it will have devolved upon me to perform here the representative of the United States. It is due to this court, and it is due also to my own feelings, not to cease to appear before you in any official capacity without the utterance of few appropriate words of parting Salutatlon.
 Your honors sit here to administer justice in it's highest seats, having no array of martial force around you, no authority of executive power, no supreme legislative control over the treasures or the political direction of the affairs of tine Union. Yours Is not the gauntleted hand of the soldier, nor yours the voice which commands armies. rules cabinets or leads Se- mates; but, though you are none of these, yet you are backed by all of them. Theirs IS the external power which sustains your moral au thority; you are the incarnate mind of the po- litical body of the nation. In the complex in- stituions of our country you are the pivot point upon which the rights and liberties of all, go- vernment and people alike. turn; or rather you are the central light of constitutional wisdom around which they perpctually revolve. Long may this court retain the confidence of our country as the great conservators, not of the private peace only, but of the sanctity and in- tegrty of the constitution! As the supreme appellate tribunal of the country, your honors possess not only its loyal acquiescence in your judgments, but the deference for them which follows long line of lustrious magistrates, from the Jays and the Elsworths, who orga- nized our judicial system, through the Mar shalls who developed our federal jurspru- dence To you and your venerable chief venerable not more in years than in the accu- muated wisdom of long life of high duties to you I say, worthy successors of the judi cial fathers of the republic, our country looks with undoubting confidence as the interpreters and the guardians of the organic laws of the Union.
 "These are public considerations. It will not, trust, be deemed presumptuous in me to add personal remark, which Is that 1 retire from my place here with profound respect and with grateful regard for each one of your ho- nors'
 To which MT. Chief Justice Fancy replied in the following words:
 M'. Attorney General-I am sure that I express not only my own sentiments, but also those of my brethren, when say that we shall cherish with pleasure the recollection of the kind feelings which have existed between us during the whole time of your official connec- ton with the court; and we shall at all times be ready to bear witness to the ability, the learn ing, and the fidelity with which your high and important public duties have always been dis charged
