In the Swamp.

The eulogist of the Emperor Severus,
(colored,) writes in q sentimental strain OF
transforming the swamp lands from viii
.'derness to an elysium, and says that ''what
"i is mainly wanted is an accurate survey OF
"the swamp territory, and next, plan for
accomplishing its reclamation" This is
very pretty, and public support will undoubt-
edly be given to any practical suggestion,
having for its object the conversion OF mo-
rass and marsh into far-reaching fields,
feecy with cotton, or ripe with golden
grain. 1t has not however, entered into
the head OF Governor Scott that, in pecu-
mary sense, the wisdom would be doubtful! OF
spending millions in draining swamps
while every county in the State has thou
sands of fertile acres, signing for the music
of the plough and hoe-eager to be smitten
by the hand of labor, ready to yield rich
return to energy and toll Until the fertile
lands already cleared ere absorbed By in
creased population, or until they are largely
raised in price by steady competition, it will
not, it would seem, be profitable to exhaust
our means in reclaiming even lone million
"of acres Of inexhaustible fertility" Our
first duty is to the land we have; when that
is occupied, the turn OF the swamps will
come. E
And we may politely remind our clas-
sical Governor that there is nothing new i'll
the recommendation, that steps be taken for
bringing the swamp lands into cultivation.
In 1856, the Hon. Alexander Mazyck, then
representing the Parish OF st. james Santee.
introduced into the State Senate bill Ito
promote the draining and Improvement Of
"inland swamps." This bill vas ratified on
December 20, and is still on the statute
books. 1t allows two-thirds OF the proprie-
tors of inland swamp lands to become 4
body corporate, for the purpose OF draining
and improving the same; provides for the
construction Of the necessary works upon
the lands Of persons not members OF the
association; and makes oil lands drained and
improved by any corporation, liable for tie
debts of the corporation.
Under this act all the swamp lands in the
State could be drained and improved!
there was ready market for them at prices
high enough to tempt foreign capital to en-
bark in the venture This is the real tr0u-
Bile; one which neither pathos nor rhetoric
can easily overcome. Time will do it; but
not Governor Scott

Buffers VIndication.

We have often heard OF the conscience OF
q corporation as being tantamount to no
conscience al all. We have now new Illus
tration of this great principle. The weekly
reviewer OF the Boston Reflector has given
an elaborate judgment in regard to the
stalking possession OF Tie property of the
"deserter Twiggs" by General Butler, who,
he says, ''did neither more nor less than his
duty" We admire this kind way OF put
ting spoon-Bills' case before the public. An
Old Bailey lawyer couldn't do better for 4
house breaker than TO impress upon jury
this new definition Of larceny-it is merely
the taking possession of property-the ac-
cession OF worthy gentleman to an inner
itanee which Providence had provided for
him. But the reporter adds, as if this eZ-
tenuaton still left some ugly questions for
Butler to answer, "He seized rstole?l that
"property for the benefit OF the national
government. It was all accounted for to
'sgovernment-swords and plate, and every
ching else. General Butler is not penny
'the richer for the seizure ltheftl OF the
''rebels' goods and chattels. He made that
property [pluaderl over to General Banks
''when he was superseded BY that comman-
"der, and General Banks faithfully flor there
sis honor among thievesl accounted for it
''to government. Twiggs' [stolen] swords
'.are now in Washington in charge of the
Treasury Department. Not a speck rests
upon General Buffers reputation flor You
''cannot backen charcoal."]
We put the explanations in brackets so as
to bring out this precious specimen Of casu-
islIy. Everybody knows that the receiver
is as bad as the thief; but here, sass the re-
porter, tie government is the receiver. Our
rcply is that the ru!c works both ways, and
tie thief is as bad as the receiver. TO Lake
property that does TO. LeioAg you is theft,
and the character CT The act is changed i'll
no respect by the use made OF the booty.
1t may be stolen for ones government, Tor
ones family, for ones sell. Robin Hood
was not the less ro5bcr because he often
stole from the rich and gave to the pooF.

poor to give to the iic:l: Or is the ro31e-y

The New York T,aes SAYS:

I'VE hope we shall not oe suspected Of utter
ing an ungenerous taun., when we say that
South Carolina is not exactly in position to
talk about pledging its last dollar and man to
the government in case OF wa-. We certain
ly mean no offence in asking whether South
Carolina would not do better to think a5ouT
devoting its last dollar and man towards the
restoration OF its own impoverished resour-
ccs"
The only ungenerous thing about it is, the
assumption that !SouA Caro}jna had any
idea of pledging men or money for any
such purpose. The "Gencral Assembly
did say something Of the kind but that, you
know, is 4 very different matter.

Small Bills.

The difficulty OF obtaining notes OF small
denominations, is adding to the embarrass-
ment caused by the st-ingency in the
Charleston money mar..et. There is not
nearly enough capital in the South for car
lyine on lis legitimate trade; nor have the
Southern States their just proportion OF the
currency Of tho country. The Eastern
States will, we presume, resist any new dis
tributon OF the currency, which would give
the South larger share, bui the West and
South should be able, before long, to wrest
from New England measure of tardy JUS
tee. Until then, it is no, much TO ask that
the Secretary Of the Treasury supply the
South with notes small enough for Use in
general business. At this time our bankers
can obtain from tie Northern financial cen
tres only notes OF one thousand dollars,
which cannot be circulated in the country
Or city. Smaller bills may be had at half
per cent. premium, but there is no valid rea-
son why this tax should be imposed upon
us.
We do not cxpect the Secretary Of the
Treasury to print greenbacks for our pecu-
liar benefit; all that we ask is that the Trea-
sury Department exchange. or demand,
large bills for bills of low denominations.
Unless this be done, the stringency which
nov exists may increase in intensity, for
lone thousand dollar bills" in giving ease
to our money market, are Of no use what
ever.
Complaints Of the scarcity OF small bills
arc common in the North, but the p!nching
is worst in the South, where the financial
shoe is smallest.
