Revolutionizing a Plantation.


One of the editors of the Euening Post now
travelling at tho South, tells the following story
related by Col. Strother, of Berkely Springs,
Va, who is the "Porte Crayon'' whose illus.
trated articles in Harper's Monthly have de-
about an energetic naval officer who determ-
ined to introduce the discipline of the service,
and the modern improvements, upon his newly
inherited estate on the James River, which,
under the old management, had gone far into
dilapidation.
On his arrival, he ordered the old crazy
ploughs, the spades, rakes and other antiquat-
ed implements, to be collected in heap and
burned in the presence of the whole planta-
tion. The next day the miserable horles and
cattle we're collected together and shot. On
the day following the old barns and outhouses
were fired and consumed.
On the next day he commanded the terror
stricken slaves to be led out. and the overseer
to pronounce which of them were inefficient
and deserving of death. About one hundred
and fifty were then picked out and led to ex-
ecution. An immense howl and outcry for
mercy, mingled with promises of good behav-
ior, arose. The master at first appeared i'm
movable, but the pre-arranged intcrcession OF
the overseer finally induced him to relent, ana
allow them further probation of year ana
a half At this exhibition of clemency tne
gratitude of the poor negroes knew no oouIos'
A new spirit of industry seized them, ana III
a year or two. with the erection oil new ouiio-
inos and the introduction OF new metnods OF
acriculture. the energetic young master could
hoast of one of the best ordered and most pro-
dnctive nlaptatiops in the State!

The Drainage OF wet and Swamp Lands

The Drainage OF Wet and swamp Lands
A Bill to encourage the Drainage of Swamp
Lands has been introduced into the Senate,
and passed to a second reading. After an
examination of the Bill and its provisions, we
think such an Act would be of immense ben
eht to owners and residents on, or in the
neighborhood of Swamp Lands. 1t provides
that any number of such owners or settlers
can form themselves into an Association hav-
ing corporate name and seal, and have the
lands surveyed-the right of way to any drain,
canal or ditch, for the purposes of Drainage,
must be obtained, if carried across any land
not be benefited thereby. All lands which
are benefited by the Drainage can be assess
ed, and the Company so formed has power to
sue and be sued. 1t has other powers and
privileges conferred on it, which are incident
al to the purposes of the formation.
Such an Act has become necessary, and we
have no doubt that in many places Compa-
nies will be formed to reclaim Swamp Lands.
There are thousands of acres in various dis
tricts which, under the operations of this Act
would soon become smiling fields, which are
now only Wet, Swampy Timber Lands
Farming Land is not yet so scarce that this
becomes necessary, but We think it will be
done in many cases. 1t is general opinion
that such drained land will become very rich,
and yield more than land which has always
been dry. 1t is worth the while of the own
ers of such land, which, in the aggregate,
amounts to pretty heavy figures, to consider
the subject, as, if the Bill passes, it will en-.
nance the value of such lands

The Trip OF the Ans. NOrthrup to Po.
kegama Falls.

The Ans Northrop alias North Star. has
just returned to Crow Wing, from a Trip to
Pokegama Falls. There were about sixtv ner.
SONS in all on board, and they were eleven
days in making the trip They ran up into
Sandy Lake which empties into the Mssissip-
pi through an outlet some two miles long, ex-
plored it thorougly, going entirely round it
and running up one of its inlets. The party
visited Pokegama Falls but could not get
with the boat nearer than about two miles,
Mr.. Day speaks in the highest terms of the
country, ,and expresses the belief that it will.
in the vicinity of the river, be settled at no
distant day. There is an abundance of al
most all kinds of valuable timber, Pine, Oak.
Butternut, Maple, &c. They found the In.
dians friendly, ready to offer all the informa-
tion in their power, and to pilot the boat on
their voyage around Sandy Lake and its in-
lets if the boat would furnish provisions, we
suppose. They supposed as it took much
to feed the machine, that it must be hungry,
aud kindly offered to let them have all the
| wood they wanted but hoped to have the fa-
vor returned when they should visit their
white brethren in a hungry condition. On
the whole judging from Mr.. Days descrip-
tion they must have had grand time of it.
What is still more important if he is correct,
the river can be navigated, between Grand
Rapids-a short distance below the Falls
and Crow Wing, at the lowest stage of the
river. We hope this will prove correct for
it will be of great importance to the whole
Upper Mississippi country We had supposed,
more difficulties would be found in the way.

HEEDLEss, ruinous extravaganza is among

from .torty-eight milliOn-which has been COM
planned of, and justly, too, as an excessive fig
ure-to over eighty-three million. lie found,
when he went iuto power, seventeen millions

COLLECTED during the year forty-four millions
of revenues; got rid of that, borrowing twen-
ty millions by Treasury notes; got rid Of
that-and IS now besieging Congress to let
him raise fifteen millions more on loan, with
a moral certainty that new loans will be re-
quired of Congress at the beginning of its
next session to meet actual Deficiencies While
the unprecedented sum of eighty-three mil

spent during the present fiscal year, the sum
required for the next fiscal year foots up to

GOLD IN ROCHesrER.-Quite An excitement
has been created in our town by the disc ov-
cry of gold, in the sand, upon the banks of
Cascade Greek. The gold is found in small
particles, and is washed out by the pan "
process. Truly, Olmsted County is a great
institution. A company of gentlemen with
"rocker, panner and slide," are now engaged
in investigating the diggins.
EMIGRATION into our State is unabated.-
Every day adds vastly to the increasing num-
bers OF her citizens. From all quarters of
the State, the cry is "still they come p'-
Well, we have no Objections come along"
the more the merrier. Our soil is unsur-
passed, the climate delightful and, all things
considered, We don't think you can better
yourselves. Come on.
FIsH.-Great quantities of fine large fish
are daily taken from the Zombro river. We
noticed yesterday several of our citizens
vending their way homeward, each provided
with one or more fine specimens of the finny
tribe. Our streams abound with fish of al
most every variety, and numbers of persons
are enjoying rare sport catching them.
SINCE our last issue, quite a number of
stangers nave arrived in Rochester, all of
wnom came here for the purpose of purchas-
ing property and locating. We are informed
mat within the last week several sales of real
estate have transpired in different portions of
our town, and that there is constantly ipcreas.
ing demand for suitable building lots, both
lor business and private purposes.
