" 70 tAe PrtnidtM and Dlrcclor$ of tht literary JhiJof Xorth Carolina:
1 GtNTLKMEN: I have the honor to report to you the result ol tho
. operations since tho drainage of the swamp lands was comoaited to
toy ciTarjje. '
j . . The feasibility of the undertakinj; has Iwen so fully and clearly
! "cstnblishnd, by tormer statements to the Board, (particularly by the
' report of Mr. iShaw,) as to-reudcr nny comment from me uiinccessa-
y on the present occasioa. I shall therefore proceed to the subject
immediately before moS?'"': : V
I ' The only tract of land, owned by the State north of Pamlico
j Sound, sufficiently elevated to afford a fall for its drainago, is sitim
f --tdd or tlte liff-A r ,M'hi.cJjLjlividd llid waters that-flow into
the Albemarle lrom -those that"ruirinto: Pttfniico,Soundi4vwir'bei
, , tvpe2tt tlie- 02,les 'formed 1y tKe : ' meeting of the boundary lines oft
. Washinon ltyaeml l ywltemtnties, near takeinjneOj wbicti tt
ribrnces Uextends
"v the iwuth oflalf of lake
. Tu)lpvnd contains, exclusive ot the area ol the Iakcs, 64,500 a
crcs. A refereoce to. tlie map herewith submitted,' will mve a more
, perfcrt idea of its location, and exhibit, both in plan and profile, the
- ;uaiu and lateral canals by which it is proposed to drain it. This
jract is a portion of a swamp containing obout a hundred thousand
Acres, an idea of the formation of which may bo had by conceiving
itlo form, what in ieality it doee, a larjte basinrfillcd with deconv
' posed, putrescent vegetable nutter, saturated with water, confined and
.prevented from runnijoff by an impervious subsoil & an embankment,
.orclejr&fed stpta of clay and sund "extendipg nearly all around ft,
I ,uot sufScicnly djry for tillage at tho extremities and higher, parts at
any season o( tlie year. WLen oversaturated, as is the case in the
winter and sprio? aud sometimes in the summer, the surplus water
Sows into Alligator pud Pungo Lakes, and into lako Phelps from
; . the south towards Alligator the descent of the surface from' the
i until is three feet aud & half from the verjre of the swamp or basin.
The reJundant water, ller filling the Jakes to overflowing, is dis
charged into Alligator, Pungoand Suppernongr Riysrs over the
" surface aud by purcilation. In dry Weather, the loose, spungy soil
of ths sgrroyudmg swamps draws the waters again from the lakes;
and so great is this attraction upwards as well , as horriOQtal, thai
tho very surface ot the swamps, is kept wet during the greatest
drouth and hottest summer sun thus through the medium of this
filaceous soil, the lakes aud swamps reciprocally supply each other
with water as there may be a preponderance iq either; or, to render
the. description still ruoro plain, this swamp (aud sa.ncarly aH of the
swamps in the State) may come under tho denomination of Lnttd
hcksd lii8 or Morasses, such as "are neither produced by water
risiti in themselves, no? by that of sprinjrs in. the adjoining banks,
but tKicomo wet bv an accumulation of rain water stagnating on an 1
lnipervu):ts subsoil tlirourh which it Cu have no denf, and beioj
sevoty-four yards in length, with an average width, at bottom, of
tft-enty-two icet, nn average depth ot six loct, nnd & fall n tlie tx
tom of twel ve and a fourth feet. The latter, the Allitor Canal,
is five miles, fourteen hundred hiid fifty six yards long, nn arernffe
vidtb, at bottom, of thirty feet, nn average depth of seven feet, and n
total fall of ten foet. These canals will reduce ih waters of each
lake four feet, nnd nre of sufficient capacity nnd full to draw off nil
the water that may fe thrown into them by the lateral canals traced
oil the map as -necessary f r tho farther facility of draining; the im
mediate effects of these canals will le to render n belt of land adja
cent to them, ni well as the land around the lakes, susceptible of
thorough draimigo nnd cultivation.
At the time I took charge of the work, in April, 1339, the season
for hiring bands by the year had passed, and the competition for
labourer, fiy the month, from the Wilmington and Raleigh nud the
Gaston nnd Rn'cigh Rail Roads tlicn in rapid progress, rendered it
impossible to procure a sufiicient force to prosecute the work with
tho energy that was desired. The Jwo main canals were, neverthe
less, put under eptn'act nnd commenced; but owing" to these causes,
not much progress was made during the pnst year. At Christmas,
the season lor procuring laborers, the contractors were enabled to ob
tain a large force, and tin work has ei'nce progressed steadily nnd
rapidly, .n.Hvtcrwj4ed evca by sickness, ot any iindSi-ISeafly one,
half of tlie' Alligator cnual has been completed. The tributaries
bare been commenced, and on tho 20th of October tho water of
Pungo lake was let into Pungo canal. All the effects which were
anticipated of drainage on its'borders and reduction of the lake wa
ter ha i'e l)ccnrmlised; enough lMal road y oeefr aecompttshed to trr
spire confidence end to remove ull doubts nnd apprehensions ( if nny
exist) as to the success of the work. There ar now ready for sale
8000 acres of land, bordering on Pungo lake, on the west nnd north
west. This tract is covered with a heavy growth ot cypress and
maple, and has been pronounced, by competent judges, unequalled
by anylambi in tlie State; and such also is my opinion, after having
contrasted it with tho rich lands of Pasquotank nnd Perqnimons,
and with those of lake Phelps nnd Mattamuskeet. In addition to
this, there are 7003 acres of Prnirie land (the growth formerly cy
press now cane and bamboos bordering on the canal,. nnd oil the
northeast side of the lake, that may also be offered: for ''.sale. Inrorjv
Urination of -tlie productiveness ot these hinds, of which no one ac
quainted with them entertains a doubt, I would obserre that similar
lands in the neighborhood, but of inferior quality, subjected to the
most ruinous system of cultivation for more than sixty years in suc
cession, nre still productive, yielding when the seasons are favorable
tathe1ra-pie'rfccrpta
prevails everywhere) from six .to eight barrels of corn per ncre.
I would respectfully recommend some immediate nction towards
bringing these lands injo market; the first step, that of laying theml
Durinac. the ensuing year,- Alligator Canal will be completed, and
nl so some of Iho tributnry canals, nnd before the expiration of two
years, we expect to complete the entire system of drainage in retprenc
to this extensive tract of land. My estimate for the accomplishment
ot tins omect will consume the wnoic amount (8200,000,) nppropria
ted for this purpose, 'and unless some further appropriation is made,
thsonly fund applicable to an extended system of drainage will be
the prococds of the sales of the lands which, it for cash, would be
ample (together with the amount of sales accruing from time tp time
on account of other lands prepared for market) to drain all the swamp
lands which the State owns. This will more readily appear from the
following estimate, based upon prices considerably lower than those
aluscd to tin. lands by somaot tne most competent and experienced
judges who have examined them. Under this view, preferable to ex
citing expectations that would not bo fully realized, I will nfstime the
low price of $6 per acre, nnd the number of acres which the present
Bpp'roprfati0Mr$2OO,OOO'"
low estimate, we have a sum exceeding the cost of drainage bv S 1 60.
000. , Applying this ratio between the vcc.ofdrainin,and the jn.r
come ansingtnerero tne trom miriioii oi acres owned by the State,
the sum n'tnough enormous would tall short ol the realization.
.This result, so beneficial and cheering, in itself, calculated to inspire
confideuce and recommend a steady and vigorous prosecution of the
work to the end, is only one among the many beneficial effects which
will grow jouf of its completion, homo of the effects to which I al
lude, nnd confident1)' calculate unon, fiave been caused by precisely
similar operations ia Gre.il Britain, nnd nre so applicable, although re
ferring to land in a partial state of tillage, that I beg, in lieu of my own
words, to substitute those of the Engineer appointed by the British
Parliament to report upon the mosses and marshes of that country. He
says tho climate is rendered more healthy and genial to both animal
and rcgotahlelifo, by thi removal of stagnant water, and the preven
tion of those noxious exhalations arising from la reo tracts of moss
and marshy ground, where tho herbage gives but tittle nourishment
nnd onlv nromotes disease. Sinrn tlie inf rrwhirtirm nf imiliinrm iatn.

which a less Quantity would yield, if such land were laid dry.

but when land is properly drained, every exertion of good husbandry

was ruined. By drainage alone, it is wonderful to see rhe verdure
that toon lakes place a. bog of the worst kind after being thorouehly
laid dry (without nny other melioration whatever) will spontaneously
produce so innny new and fine-grasses, tlie seeds and roots of which
hitherto laid dormant, owing to the supurfltions moisture, but uow
spring forth and afterwards cori'tinucs to flourish and increase. The
rushes that formerly occupied the whole surface, soon decline, and
better grasses inriso abundance.
In addition to these many beneficial effects, the advantage of drain
ing the swamp lands that lay scattered over the whole of the eastern
portion of the State, from the Roanoke River to the Wackamaw, and
from the Falls f the river to the seaboard, are ol great importance in
