o. Pearl Riuer.-A few weeks ago
we made mention of the fact that Hon
Jesse Speight, NJ. c. from this State,
had offered resolution in the Senate
asking for every alternate section of
pubic land lying on Pearl river, in
the State Of Mississippi, the proceeds
Of the sales ofsaid land to be appro>
priated 10 the improvement Of the ma.
yigation of the Pearl. We see from
our Congressional news Of March 9,
that MIR. Chalmers presented reso.
luton ofthe State of Mississippi, in
favor Of II grant of land for the purpose
above which was referred to
the committee on Public Lands; as
also was similar resolution presen.
ted by Mr.. Speight. We hope in a
few weeks to be enabled to lay before
our readers is fnal passage.
