DISMAL SWAMI AND ITS TRADE.-Ihe
trade of the famous DISMAL Swamp OF Viz
giuia and North Carolina has always been nm
portant, and Baltimore has had considerable
share in it. A fire of extraordinary magnitude
was lately raging there, and OF course interior
cd to more or less extent with the trade.
The Dismal Swamp extends forty miles south
from near Norfolk, Virginia, and twenty hive
miles east and west, Several small streams
flow through it, and in the centre OF it is Lake
Drummoud, six miles long, and three miles
wide, the surface OF which is twenty feet
above tide water. The Dismal Swamp canal
made By the assistance of the national govern
ment and the State of Virginia, fed by Lake
Drummond, was six feet deep, and passes 1or
twenty miles through the swamp, ahordlhg an
outlet not only for lumber, but tor much oil inc
agricultural productions OF the eastern part VI
North Carolina. Its annual tre!ghtage few
wears before the war was about 2lQ00,0oO
Shingles. 6 .000, 900 slaves, 10000 cubic feet
of plank, scautllng and ship timber, 200 barrels
of spirits turpentine, 4,j0O bales OF cotton,
1000 900 bushels of Indian corn, 80, 900 OF
wheat, $4,000 bbs. Of shad and herring, and
so 900 bbls of naval stores. 1t will thus be
seen that valuable highway of trade and
commerce lay through this dismal and seem
ingly desolate spot. The single trade OF this
swamp was enormous, and some OF Its many
propretors employed over one hundred hands
in cutting shingles alone A large proportion
of the swamp was originally covered with
thick forest OF cypress. white cedar and other
timber, the most valuable portion OF when mas
been cut down to furnish ship timber, shingles
and rails, the last being exported TO New orG
and other places under the name OF cedar rails
Great quantities of timber have been also pro
cured from beneath the surface, where fallen
timbcrs have been preserved by the wetneSs o.
the SOIL but the supply thus obtained began &c
hail some years ago, and the lumber trade o.
the swamp has lost its importance. The sou
consists of black vegetable matter TO the deptt
Of fifteen feet, saturated with water, yielding
to the tread, and in many places covered dur
ing large part of the year with Staenant pools
Roads have been made in the swamp by lay
inss logs, eight or ten feet long, side By side OF
,be surface of the SOIL which was pas'ab.c by
mules or oxen, though carrying was done most
IL by hand to the creeks aud bitches communl
eating with the canal. There are several small
or swampS along the coast OF North Carolina
covering in the aggregate about :, 900, 900 acres
and mostly State property. When the DiSma
Swamp is cleared up, it will produce agricuI
tural results unparalleled on the Atlantic sea
board. Bat. SW.
