At oi.e time the I'ypt of our State aid a source of great wealth to our people, those splendid and inex haustible lands are last becoming a wilderness by reason of the destruction nf the levees which coiilincJ the Ilia nuke nitbi.i its banks.

There arc other little savings in this connection too Btimerous to mention ; but the people may rest assured that there is nothing that will escape the crucible of such men. When the peo ples board went into efllce the servants which were numbers around our little capitol here were living in opulence, with nothieg comparatively, to do. Now the elements of that dark cloud, that is so fust disappearing have to work like men, for they are no longer drawing nn the peoples teat. The peoples board ttavo only one servant at small pay. The county jailor, formerly received fiOs. n day for feeding each prisoner. The Tenjiles Hoard have cut his pay down to 2octs. per day. Now there are seme 28 prisoners in jtil. Suppose it averapa 2j the year round, at a saving if $3,75 a day it would be about 130. 7o, an immense saving" ta an unpovished county. Now I have given you'a few items of what the peoples Hoard have done, but I understand that this is only a begin ning of what they will do.

Vanca in his message, far the use of convict labor for embanking the low land on the lloanoke river, is a matter of surprise, considering tho vast benefits that would result lo them as individuals as well as to the wh ile State. That tho scheme is practicable, docs nut admit of any manner of doubt, and if the thousands of acres of land now worthless, are ever to be reclaimed, it miisL be done before the young growth of ash, maple a;:d elm, which now cover loom, as thiils as pi .es in any of the old fijld, have attained the sizd of the pri meval forest. I'levious to the late war most of the lands lying on the river bs tween Weldon and Hill's ferry, were protected from ove.flov by embank ments, varying from 2 feet to 20 feet in hi-h and if the same oversight and annual amount of labor could have been CJiitiuuud until this tim", there is no p u tiou of the United States that would have excelled this portion ef the valley iu the pruducts of grain, bay and cotton. The distance from Wuldon to Ildl's ferry by the riter is fifty miles aa av erage width of one mile subject to over 11 nv (and litis is rather under than ovct) cover 0 2,000 acres of land. These lauds are known to be of great fertility ai.d may fif.lv be estimated at a product uf Kl bushels of coru per acre, making an aggregate product (if the whole was in cultivation) of 1 ,2.S'),000 bushels nr 2."r,000 barrels worth at the present maikel piice over a million f dollars. Estimating the length nf the dams on both sides o! the river from Weldon to Hills ferry at To miles (i part of the distance being bluffs and nccdiug no dams) and the average highest at ten feet and ten solid jaids lo the running yard npmi the old dims cites 17,000 solid yards to the mile lor the nlule distance t miles, gives 1. 320 000, say one and a half million of shd yard-. estimating that vue able bodied mau can wheel seven and n half solid yards average say, it will take 200uO() days labor to compute ono and a half millions of solid yards, at the same estimates 100 able bodied men ill complete the whole iu 2000 dsys. listimatinr' the cost of convict labor for feeding and guarding at 13 cents per capital per day, (bich we learu h more than the c ist nn the public wotks) nt.d we have the cost of darning the river for 75 miles at $30,000, not one d II or per acre; a sum so in significant, compared with the beuefi ihat it is almost beyond credulity.
