MR. CARRIGAIN, Secretary of this State, and Mr. MERRILL, of Stratham, have returned from the northerly parts of the State, where they have been for some time engaged, with a number of assistants, in surveying the State's lands, more particularly the country that lies adjoining to and surrounds the White Mountains. We are happy to hear that they have made considerable progress in effecting those surveys that are necessary for making a Map of the State, which is the object for which these surveys are made. We understand that more surveys are necessary in that and other quarters of the State, to furnish materials for a correct and accurate Map of the same, and that the Secretary intends making them in the course of the present winter and ensuing spring.
From the exertions which are making, and the talents and industry engaged in the undertaking, we think that we may safely congratulate the public on the pleasing prospect of soon having, what is so much needed, and so universally desired, a correct and accurate Map of the State of New-Hampshire.
