Hs- In the present deranged condition. Of
the mails, we receive our exchanges at very
irregular, periods; from Baton Rouge, owing
to the same cause, We get only oceasionly a
seat'ty outline Of the proceedings Of the State
Legislature. We deem this explanation nee
essary il order to escape the censure Of our
readers for the deficiency in our columns Of
matter, relating to our state affars.-The
Legislature took a recess soon after it assem-
bled, and met again on the 9Th inst Our
information from the Seat of Government
since then, is almost exclusively derived from
gentlemen Of this place who have visited
Eaton Rouge within the last wcck-From
them We learn that bill WAS before the
house, TO exempt from seizure under execu,
ton one slave Of each slave owner in the
state. The fate Of this bill was uncerta u
but it Was thought It would probably fail.
l, was in contemplation to stop the sale of
the state Swamp Lands as they are now
disposed Of. The plan proposed was to have
the lands first otf.red for sale to the highest
bidder as the United States lands are, and
permit their entry Afterwards at minimum
piice of two dollars and a half or more per
acre. Some were in favor Of a minimum Of
i've dollars per acre. The restrictive law
heretofore enacted in regard to elections in
New Orleans would be repealed, to make
way it WAS thought for one still more strin-
gent and arbitrary.
