Thefoiirih editionof Morse's Universal Gazetteer, ci'uhich this work is an abridgment, is just issued from tlie press. The basis of that work, in respect to what may be called the permanent geogra- phy of the United States, is the various Geographical Works of the senior Author, the information in which has been gradually collected during a space of nearly 40 years, partly by correspondence with gentlemen of the first intelligence in the different States, and partly by consultation of standard works as they have from timetotinif^ appeared. Much information has also been recently collected, by correspondence, and extensive personal travels. The valuable works which have lately been published, on various parts of the country, have been systematically, and, it is believed, faithfully digested. The sale of an edition of 3,000 copies of the Universal Gazetteer in the short space of fifteen months demands the grateful acknowledgments of the Authors. In a work of this general nature it is impossible to avoid error. Al! that can be expected of the Author is a diligent collection and faithful use of the best materials. To accomplish this we have spared nei- ther labour nor expense, yet none can be more sensible than we ourselves that some descriptions will be found defective and some statements erroneous. To the Heads of the various departments of the General Government, and to all the gentlemen who have oblij;- ingly furnished us w ith information, we tender our sincere thank.s. We shall be much obliged by any communications which will enable us to improve a future edition. New-Haven, April 3d, 1823. EXPLANATION OF ABBREVIATIONS. Al. for Alabama tN. C. Ark. Arkansas N.

United States Note. — When the population is expressed without date, it is unjfet- btood to be according to the Census of 1820 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Boundaries. The United States is bounded N. by the British do- minions; E. by the Atlantic ocean ; S. by the Gulf of Mexico ; S. W. by the Spanish dominions ; and W. by the Pacific ocean. The boundary on the side of the Spanish dominions, according to the treaty with Spain, ratified in 1821, begins on the gulf of Mexico, at the mouth of the river Sabine, and proceeds along the wes^t bank of that river to the 32d degree of N. lat. } thence, by a line due north, to Red river ; thence up that river to the meridian of 100° VV. Ion. thence due N. along that meridian to the river Arkansas; thence along the south bank of the Arkansas to its source, in lat. 42°, and thence along that parallel to the Pacific ocean. On the side of the British dominions, the boundary begins in the Atlantic ocean, at the mouth of the river St. Croix, and proceeds up that river to its source ; thence due north to the highlands which separate the waters falling into the St. Lawrence from those which fall into the Atlantic ; thence" along those highlands, in a S. VV. direction, to the parallel of 45=' N. lat. ; thence, along that parallel to the river St. Lawrence, and thence, up that river, and the great lakes Ontario, Eric, Huron, and Superior, to the most norlh-westeru point of the Lake of the "Woods. By the treaty with Great Britain in 1819, the boundary line proceeds from the last mentioned point, due north or south, as the case may be, to the parallel of 49° N. lat. and thence due west along that parallel to the Rocky mountains. The boundary between the Rocky mountains and the Pacific ocean remains-unsettled. — Including Florida, which has been ceded by Spain, the territory of the United tStates extends from 25° to 49° N. lat. and from 66° 49' to 125° W, Ion. embracing upwards of 2,000,000, square miles. Face of the coimtnj. This vast country is intersected by two prinei- ))al ranges of mountains : the Rocky mountains in the west, which run across the territory in a direction nearly parallel with the coast of the Pacific ocean, at the distance of several hundred miles ; and the Alleghany mountains in the east, which runs parallel with the Atlan- tic coast from Georgia, through Tennessee, Virginia, and Pennsyl- vania, to New- York. The immense valley included between these two ranges of mountains, is intersected bv tlie Mississippi river which inins from north to south, through the whole length of the United States, The couutry west of the Mississippi, with few exceptioDP, rs - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNITED STATES. a wilderness inhabited by savage Indians, and beyond the meridian oi 94*^, the whites have scarcely a solitary settlement ; but the country on the east of the Mississippi is to a considerable extent, cultivated and populous. In that part of the United States which lies east of the Mississippi, the niost remarkable feature in the face of the country is the low plain, from 50 to 100 miles wide, which extends along the Atlantic coast, from the Hudson to the Mississippi, a distance of 1,600 miles. Beyond this plain the country rises towards the interior till it termin- ates in the Allca;hany or Appalachian mountains The rest of the U. States is agreeably diversified with hills and valiies, plains and moun- tains. Divisions. The States are usually classed under four divisions, East- ern, Middle, Southern, and Western. The Eastern States are those ^vhich lie wlioll> cast of the Hudson, viz. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut ; the Middle States are those between the Hudson and the Potomac, viz. New York, Ne.v Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. The Southeru States are those south of the Potomac, including the three on the Gulfof Mexico, viz. Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor- gia. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The Western States are those which lie wholly west of the Alleghany mountains ; viz. Ten- nessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. The ter- ritories are under governors appointed by Congress. The District of Columbia is a tiact 10 miles square around the city of Washington, under the immediate government of Congress. Soil and productions. The soil of the low country, except on the hanks of creeks and rivers, is sandy and barren ; but the remainder of tlie country has generally a strong fertile soil, capable of support- ing a dense population. The principal production of the states south of Kentucky and Virginia is cotton. Tobacco is raised in large quantities in Maryland and Virginia. Wheat is the staple production of the Middle and Western States. Rice is cultivated to a consider- able extent in the swamps of Georgia and the Carolinas, and the sugar cane flourishes in Louisiana. Commerce, Shipj^ing, and Mamtfactures. The commerce of the U. States consists principally in the exchange of agricultural produce for the manufactures of other parts of the world, and the production of tro{)ical climates. The whole value of exports in 1821, was p]4jD14:,- 382, of which ^45,671, 894 wa« domestic produce. The principal ar- ticle is cotton ; the quantity of which has been continually and rap- idly increasing for more than 30 yca.r<. In 1790, the amount export- ed" was only 100,000 pounds ; in 1795,1,300,000; in 1000, 17,789,803; in 1804, 35,034,175; and- in 1821,124.893,405 pounds, the value of which was ^20,157,484. Next in importance to cotton, are wheat an-d flour, of whu:h the amount exported in 1817, was 1,479,198 barrels, and the value )? 18,432,000. Tobacco, lumber, rice, pot and pearl ashes, Indian corn, fish, beef and pork, are also exported in lar^e quaniitit:s, — The principal artioles iiaportcd aiay be arrajigcd m the CKN£RAL DESCRtfTlON OF THE UKITKD STATES. 3 following order : manufactured goods, principally from Great Brit- ain ; sugar, rum, wine, molasses, brand}', coffee and teas. The \vhole value of imports in 1821, was 562,685,7^24. The shipjiiiig belonging to the U. States in 1820 was 1,230,105 tons. It is owned principally in New-England and New-York. The States south of the Potomac own onlv one eighth part. — The annual value of manufactures was estimated in 1810, at ^172,762,876. Revenue and Debt. The revenue of the United States in 1819, was ^21,435,700. More than nine-tenths f>l the revenue has been usually derived frora duties on imports. The sale of public lands for several years past has also yielded a considerable sura, and the amount from this source is rapidly increasing. The internal revenue and direct taxes on houses and lands, yield very little, being only resorted loin cases of emergency. Tiie public debt contracted in support of the war of Independence, amounted in 1791, to ,$75,4-63,467. During the long peace between 1783 and 1812, the country was prosperous, nnd the'^debt was gradually reduced to ;^'36 ,650,932. The war of 1812, '13 and 14 increased it again more than three-fold, and in 1816, it was ^123,016,375. It has since been greatly reduced, and on Oct. 1st, 1821, was ^93,686,205. Army and JVawj. The army in 1820 consisted of 10,000 men, dis- tributed among the numerous posts along the maritime and inland frontier. The navy, in 1822, consisted of 7 ships of the line, 8 frigates, and 22 smaller vessels ; besides these there are on the lakes 4 ships of the line and 37 smaller ve>5.sels. The officers are 31 post captains, 31 masters commandant, 196 lieutenants, and 336 mid- shipmen. Popnhition. The population of the United States in 1790, was 3,929,326; in 1800, 5,305,666; in 1810, 7,239,903; and in 1820 9,625,734, of whom 1,531,436 were slaves, and 233,398 free blacks. Engaged in agriculture 2,065,499, in commerce 72,397, in manufac- tures 349 ,2-17. The population increases very regularly at the rate of about 3 per cent, per annum, doubling in less than 25 years. The inhabitants consist of whites, negroes, and Indians. The negroes are eeaerally slaves, and are piincipally confined to Maryland and the States south of tlie Potomac and Ohio rivers. All the whites are of European origin ; principally English. The New Englanders, Vir- ginians, and Carolinians, are almost purely English. Next to the English are the Germans, who are veiy numerous in the Middle Stales, particularly in Pennsylvania. Next to the Germans, are the Dutch, who are most numerous in New York. The French consti- tute nearly half die population of Louisiana. The Irish and Scotch, are found in the middle States, in the back parts of Virginia, and iu all the principal cities of the Union. Very little is known about the Indians west of the Mississippi. The 4 principal tribes on the east of the Mississippi are the Creeks, Choctaws, Cherokees, and Chick- asaws. These tribes live within the chartered limits of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Tenuessee. 4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNITED STATE3. Religicm. The principal religious denominations are Presbj'teri- ans and Congregationalists, who have together more than 2,500 con- gregations ; the Baptists, who have more than 2,700 congregations ; the Friends who have more tlian 500 societies ; and the JEpiscopal- ians about 600. The Methodists are also very numerous. The Bap- tists and Methodists are found in all parts of the United States ; the Congregationalists are almost wholly in New England ; the Presby- terians are scattered over the Middle and Southern States } the Friends are most numerous in Pennsylvania and the adjoining States, and the Episcopalians in New York, Connecticut, Maryland, and Virginia. German Lutherans, German Calviuists, and Moravians, arc also numerous in the Middle States. Government. The United States are a Federal republic. Each of the States is independent, and has the exclusive control of all concerns merely local ) but the defence of the country, the regula- tion of commerce and all the general interests of the confederacy, are committed, by the constitution of the United States, to a general government. The legislative power is vested in a Congress, con- sisting of a Senate and House of Representatives. The Senate is composed of 2 members from each State, chosen by their legisla- tures foi G years. The Representatives are chosen by the people biennially, each State being entitled to a number proportioned to its free population, and in the slave-holding States every five slaves are allowed to count the same as three freemen. The President and Vice President are chosen for 4 years, by electors appointed for the purpose, and each State appoints as many electors, as the whole number of its Senators and Representatives. The salarv of the Pres- ident is <(25,000 per annum, of the Vice President '';^5,000. The principal officers in the executive department are the Secretary ot State, th« Secretai7 of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, the Secre- tary of the Navy, the Attorney General, and ihe^Post-master General. Itcijnd Increase. Since the establishment of the present govern- ment in 1789, the growth of the United States in population, com- merce, and wealth'has been without a parallel in the history of the world. The population in 1790 was 3,929,326, and in 1820, 9,625,734. In 1790, the value of exports was ^16,000,Q00: it is now about pO,000,000. The revenue in 1790, was ^'2,410,320; it is now more than $20,000,000. In 1790, the number of post-offices was 75 and the extent of post-roads 1.875 miles ; in 1821, the number of post- offices was 4,976, and the extent of post-roads 79,808 miles. The amount of shipping in 1790, was 486,090 tons ; in 1320, 1,280,165 tons.

The whole a- raount of what has been contribu- ted for permanent use in this sem- ?uan', including the permaneirl fundi, library and public buildings* is more than three lumdreA and fiflii tliof/sand dofUirs. and this has been contributed almost entirely from six families. In irj22 the officer;- were 4 professors, and the numbei of students was 132. The whole number who have completed theii education here is 312. The ]ibrar\ contains about 5,000 volumes. The buildings are on a loftl' emin'jnce. aufl command an extensive i>ros- pect. They consist of an effegHni brick edifice, containing the cha- pel, libraiy and lecture rooms; 2 spacious brick edifices, containing, rooms for the accommodation ot 128 students ; and houses for cacli of the professors and the steward. A majority of the jtodents are sup- porteissippi. Here is the salt prairie particularly a fine district of up- which is covered for wany miles land between the St. Francis and with pure white chrystallized salt IVhitc rivers. Beyond the level tract, the country rises into hills and ranges of lofty mountains, anion? which are the Mamelle, the Pelii .7ohn,the Cassc.tcte,and the Ma- zern. A branch of the INIazcrn range divides the Kiamesha from the waters of the Arkansas. The climate in the level country is'icrn bank of the Arkansas from moist ; vcfjetation begins in the lat-lthe town of Arkansas, to Little cr part of February, and heavv Rock, and southward to the Wa- rains fall during the summeVjchila. The Chpctawsown a large often from four to six inches deep. In (his tract is also an extensive body of gypsum. In the south arc the famous hot springs of Wachita. This country was obtained from theQuapaws Indians in 1819. A large reservation is left for the Qua- paws, extendinsf alontj the south- months. In the western part ot the territory the climate is more dry, and the rain- arc slighter and less frequent. The soil of Arkan- sas is fitted for a great variety of productions. The alluvial land; produce wheat, oals, llax, hemp cotton, rice, und tobacco : the rich- est yield from GO to 80 bushels of wheal the acre ; the prairies are clothed with tall grass, and afford excellent range for cattle ; the up- lands In the eastern part of the ter- ritory are poor, but above the Po- teau river, they are excellent gra- zing lands. The lands on White river arc the best in the territory and among the best in America': on the Wachita the land is poor tract of country between the Ar- kansas and Ret! river, bounded W- by the Canadian river. Tlie Osages of die Arkansas occupy the country on Grand river, a northern branch of the Arkansas, The United Foreign Mission Society have a mission established among these Indians at Union. In 18lo and 1819, about .'j.OOOof the Cherokee Indians removed from their resi- dence east of the Mississippi to a fine tract of country on the north bank of the Arkansas, between 94 ' and 95° W. Ion. Here the Amer- ican Board of Foreign Missions have establi-^hed a missionary sta- tion at a place called Dwight. The population of the territory ARK in 1810 was 1,062 ; and in 1820. (exclushe of Indians and hunters) 14,273, of whom 1 ,617 were slaves ; engaged in asiicultnre 3,613, in coniniei'ce 77, in manufactures 179. Tiic hiintei- population is composed of persons from various seciions of the United Stales, who have either embraced huntinc from an excessive fondness for the pursuit, or have fled from civilized society to escape the severity of the laws and indulge in unrestrain- ed ! asslon. Tliey subsist almost entirely by f!ie chase and differ very litde in any respects from the savages, ^hey live chiefly on White river, the Arkansas and Red river. Their number is es- timated at 1,000 or 1,500. TJiis territory is divided into 5 counties: Arkansas, Clark, H(;iiip- stcad, Lawroice and Miller.

AI)out 15 miles above its mouth it is connected with White river by a natural bayou 8 or 9 ni. lone ; boats entering the Arkan- sas from up the Mis.sissippi usually ascend the AVhite rivev 7 miles, and then proceed through this ba- you ; other b.iyous connect Arkan- sas river diiecUy with the Missis- sippi, forrninu a delta, but they are dry at low water. The country on its banks i^ subject to inundations, which prevent setdements below (he town of Arkan-as. The inun- dations usually take place from February to May, earlier than those of the Tvlississippi and Missou- ri rivers, and are therefore less in- jurious to the crops.

It is connected by good turnpike roads with various parts of Pennsylvania, and \\'i\\\ the naviga- ble waters which run into the Ohio. It possesses the trade of Maryl in(^- B A L 23^ and of a great portion of the back country of Pennsylvania, and the western States. In amount ol shipping, it is the third city in the Union. The number of tons in 1815 was 101.9G0. The ex[)orts in 1811 amounted to more than $4,- 000,000. The growth of the city has been remarkably rapid. In 1790, the amount of shipping was only 13,5G !■ tons, and the popula- tion in 1770, was only 300. The city is built around a bay. which sets up from the north side of the Patapsco, and affords a spacious and con enient haibour. The strait which connects the bay wiih the river is very nar- row, scarcely a pistol shot across, and is well defended by Fort M'- Henry. A small river, called Jones' Falls, emptiesinto the north side of the harbor, and divides the city into two parts, called the tow n and Fell's point, which are con- nected by bridges. At Fell's point, the water is deep enough for ves- sels of 500 or 600 tons, but none larger than 200 tons can go up to fhe town. Baltimore contains the Stati penitentiary ; the city and coun(y alms-house ; a court-house ; a museum; a theatre; a custom- house ; a hospital, in which there is a fine collection of anatomical preparations in wax ; an exchange an immense edifice recently erect ed ; 3 market-houses ; 10 banks. 31 houses of public worship, 5 for Koman Catholics, 5 for Episcopa- lians, 5 for Methodists, 3 for Bap- lists, 2 for Presbyterians, 2 for Dutch Reformed, 2 for Seceders. 2 for Friends, 1 for Lutherans, 1 for Independents, 1 for Dunkers. 1 for Unitarians, and 1 for Swe denborgians. A marble monwmcnt to the B A L memory of General Washington has been recently erected, on an elevation at the north end of Charles-etreei. The base is 50 feet square, and 23 feet high, on which is another square of about half the exte«t and elevation. On this is a lofty column, 20 feet in diameter at the base, and 14 at the top. On the summit of tills column, 1G3 feet from the ground, tiie .statue of ^Vashington is to be placed. The Battle Monument, erected to the memory of those who fell in bravely defending their city from the attack of the British on the 12tii and 13th of Sept. 1814, is a hand- some structure of stone, situated an a large square in JNordi Cal- vert-street. The names of the persons are to be inscribed on the column. The city is generally well built. The houses are chiefly of brick ; many of them are handsome, and some splendid. The principal street is Maikct or Baltimore street, S6 feel wide. It ru)ts nearly east and west, parallel with the harbor, and is intersected by oth- ers at right angles. Baliimore is applied with water taken from the Jones' falls, and conveyed to reservoirs, whence it is distributed to cvei-y pait of the city. Nortli and East cf the city, the land rises to a considerable elevation, from which there is a noble view of the city and harbor. There are several literary insti- tutions in this city. A Medical College was founded in 1807. In 1812 the institution was enlarged, and received a new charter. It is now styled the University of Mary- land, and embraces the depart- ments of languages, arts, sciences, medicine, law, and divinity. The BAR 24 BAR medical department has G Profcs-| Barhotm-iUe, p-l, and cap. Knox sors, and is in a very flourish state. The prol'cssois in the oth^ er departments are merely nomi- nal. The buildings have accom- modations for 500 students. St. Mary's College has a valuable li- brai-y, a chemical and philosophic- al apparatus, and about 150 stu- dents. Baltimore college has 2 instructors' and about GO students. Bavgor, p-t. and caj). Penobscot CO. Maine, on the W. side of Pe- nobscot river, at the head of navi- gation ; 35 m. N.

It is flot open for shipping during the winter, but at other seasons it is of very easy access for vessels of al- most any size, and the river is open at all times within twelve miles of Frankfort. Bangor will be the natural market for a large portion of tlie interior of Maine. It is a flourishing place, and contains a court-house, bank, and printing- office. A Theological Seminary was opened here in 1815, styled "The Maine Charity School." It is under the direction of 2 pro- fessors and a preceptor. Its design is to prepare young men for the ministry by a shorter course of stu- dy than is usual. The qualifica- tions for admission are a know- ledge of English grammar, arith- metic, Latin grammar, and some acquaintance with the Latin clas- sics. The term of study is four years. The number of students in 1821 was more than twenty. Ban2;o7\ p-t. Franklin co. N. Y. 15 m. W. Malone. Pop. 370. Barbary ,Xi-\' . Rowan co. N. C. 134 m. W.Raleigh. Burher'sy p-v. Fauquier co. Va.

The inhabitants obtain their support almost entirely from the ocean ; the men being con- stantly employed at sea ; and the boys, at a veiy early a^e, are jnit on board the fishing boats. In consequence of the violent east winds, it is sup|)osed that the cape is gradually wearing away. Lon. of the cape, 70^ 14' W. Lat. 42° 4'N.

Along the whole cottst of ISt CAR Carolina is a ridf^e of sand, sepa-j valed from the main land, in some places by narrow Sounds, in oth- eis b\ broad Bays. Tlie passages or inlets through it are shallow and dangerou'!, and Ocracoke inlet is the or.iy one north of Cape Fear, tlu-ough which vessels pass. In the counties on the sea coast, the land is low, and covered with ex- tensive sw amps and marshes, and for GO or 80 miles from the shor CAR ' the yenr 1815, the State 60 Since has been '/eulousiy engaged in the business of intei nai improvements. It is intended to improve the navi- gation of the inlets and sounds, so as to open a direct and easy com- nuinicalion Avith the ocean ; to remove the obstructions in the navigation of the principal rivers ; •o connect the rivers by navigablo canals ; to improve the roads \nd to drain the marches and is a d»ad level. Beyond this, the s>\ amps of the eastern and south- country swells into hills, and the most uestcrn part rises into mountains. Among the produc- tions are pitch pine, cotton, tobac- co, wheat, rye, barley, oats, hemp, and Indian corn. Coal has latel been found in Chatham county, and lead ore a few miles N. of Ra- leigh. The principal rivers, be- ginning in the east, ar« the Cho ern counties. In the prosecution of these plains, skilful engineers iiave been euij loyed for several years in making the necessary sur- veys, and several private compa- nies have been formed under the patronage of the state. In i819^ th.e legislature appropriated for the purpose of internal improvements, he proceeds of the sale of all the ly come into the possession of the ■-tate. The population in 1790, was 393,751 ; in 1800, 478,103; in 1810, 66rj,.500 ; in 1820, 638,829, of whom 205,017 were slaves, and 14,t)12 free blacks ; engaged in agriculture 174,19fi, in commerce 2,65], manufactures 11,84-1'. wan, irioanoke, Pamlico, iSeuse.lCherokee lands, which have late- Cape Fear, Yadkin, Catabaw. and Broad. Most of tlie produce of iSorth Carolina is exported from the neighbouring states. Not a single point has yet been found on the coast, within the limits of tlu Slate, at \\'hich a safe and eom- inodiou.Sjpcrt coultl be established. Hitherto the productions of the northern parts of the State, lying on the Roanoke and its branches, and also on the upper parts of the Tar and Neuse, have been sent to the markets oi' Virginia; and tht trade of Broad river, the Catabaw, and the Yaeo- pled. The Moravia.vs, in 1751, iuirchased a tract of lOO.CWO acrea, lying between the head waters oi' tlie Yadkin and the Dan, and it- now contains a number of flourish- ing villages. Within a few years^ there has been much zeal display- ed in the establishment of acade- mies and schools. Previous tp 1804, there were but 2 academies •rn tlie state. Tlie number at pre"- &XR 61 CAR sent is 50, and is rapidly increas-| ins: ; and ilK;te is a flourifihingi miles from the coast, and is cov- ered with extensive forests of ne barrens, in- marsh- es of a f^ch soil. After leaving the lo'.v coiintry in proceeding into the interior, you first pa-^s through a region of little eand hilis, resem- bling the waves of the ocean in a !iigi> sea. This curious country, ?oi;aetimcs called the middle coun- try, continues for 50 o<- 60 miles, till you arri\e at the Ridge, which remarkable tract of hi«fh ground as you appro:ich it from the sea, but level as you advance from the N. VV. Beyond this ridge, commences a fine healthy country of hiils and dales, termi- nating in the western extremity of the state, in lofty mountains. The banks of the large rivers and the creeks of the low country, are bordered w ith a bolt of excellent land, producing cotton and maize in abundance ; the marshes anrl swamps in this district make fine rice plantations ; and some of the low srrounds between the sand hills in the middle district, are suitable for agriculture and pas- turage : but with these exceptions, the whole country below the Ridge has a sandy barren soil, not worth cultivation. The soil of the upper country is generally strong and ,3roditctive. Cotton and rice are the staple productions of the state. The climate, and soil are well adapted to tobacco, grain, and in- digo, :ind these were formerly cul- tivated to a great extent ; but •fines the invention of the machine ;'o cleanse upland cotton from its >eed?), the cultisation of cotton has !)ccome so profitable, that almost ivorv thing else is neglected.

The Scotch- Irish are Presbyteriaas, and there are also in the western parts of the state a few settlements of Ger- man Lutiierans and German Cal- vinists. The legislative power is vested in a general assembly, con- sisting of a senate and house of commons. The senators are cho- sen annually, one from eaidi coun- ty. The members of the house of commons are chosen annually, two from each county, and one from each of the six principal towns. The executive power is vested in a governor, and a coun- cil of 7 persons, all of whom are chosen annually by a joint ballot of the two houses. Raleigh is the seat of government.

The soil is fertile and the climate healthy. The Indians live scattered over the country in log cabins, not much inferior to those of the whites in the neighbouiin^ settlements. Many whites reside among them having obtained the privileges of citizenship by mar)y- ing female natives. These intc:-- marriageshave been so long prac- tised, that a considerable part of the tribe are of mixed blood. The mixed breed can generally spoak English, and a few send their children to the white settlements for education. As to their persons, the Chcrokees are well fonneil, and of a good appearance.

The healthy situation of the town, its position at the head of boat navigation on the Conga- ree, and its advantages as the seat of government, and of a well con- ducted college, combine to make it a place of importance. Inter- course with Charleston by steam- boat, has lately been established. South Carolina college was founded in this tow n by the legis- lature in 1801, and is immediately under the pationage of the State. It has a president, 4 professors, 2 tutors, more than 100 students, a well selected library of 5,000 vol- umes, and a fine mathematical ap- paratus.

Creeks, Indians, inhabiting the western parts of Georgia, and the eastern parts of Alabama. — Their princi[)al settlements are on the Coosa, Tallapoosa, and Chatahoo- chee rivers. The country is fer- tile and salubrious, covered wilh fine timber, watered by numerous navigable rivers, and sufficiently extensive to support, with proper cultivation, more than a million souls. The number of the Creeks was formerly estimated at 24,000, of whom 6,000 were warriors, but in their war with the U. S. in 1813 -14, they sutTered severe losses. They now amount to 20;000, and are the most warlike tribe on thi.s side the Mississippi. For several years past, efforts have been made to introduce among tbem agricul- ture and the arts of civilized life, and with considerable success.

A charter for a college at this place has been granted by the legisla- ture ', 2 professors, 1 of languages on a high sandy bluff, and contains a Presbyterian church, a bank, and a printing press. Owing to the rapid settlement of the back country, Darien has risen within a few years to a place of much im- portance. In 1810, there were only 206 inhabitants j but in 1819 f> A V 102 the number was between 1 and 2,000. In 1818, 40 liouses were erected during 3 months, some ol which are large and elegant ; bank was established with an ex- tensive capital, and a steam -boa! navigation opened with Milledgt;- ville. The bar at the mouth of thf river has 14 feet at low water. Exertions are making to remove the obstructions in the navigation, and to render Darien the place of foreign export for the produce ol the rich country between Oconet and Oakmulgee rivers. Darke, co.

A small part of the state in the" north is hilly ; the rest is level and low. The soil in the north, and along the Delaware, is generally a rich clay ; in the middle, there is a considerable mixture of sand ; and in the south, sand predomi- nates. Wheat is the staple pro- duction. It grows he"re to vei-y great perfection. Indian corn, rye, oats, &c. are also cultivated. The principal rivers are Brandy- wine creek and Christiana creek, which unite in the northern part of the state, and empty into Dela- ware river. They afford an un- n common number of excellent seats its CQurse, it resembles the letterpor mills and manufactories, whicti DEL Hre extensively improved. The flour mills on Brandywine creek, near Wiiminglon, are the finest collection in the United States. Gunpowder, and cotton and wool- len goods are also manufactured to a great extent, in the same ncigh- borliood. In 1815, there were within 9 miles of Wilmington, 44 flour mills, 13 cotton manufacto- iies,15 .saw mills, G woollen man- ufactories and 6 gunpowder mills, besides several others. A canal has been commenced between Chrl.stiaiia creek in this state, and Elk river in Maryland. When linished, it will be 22 miles long, and will open an inland water com- munication between Delaware ri- ver and Chesapeake bay. Presbj-- terians are the most numerous religious denomination. Several years since they had 24 congrega- tions ; the Episcopalians 14 ; Friends 8 ; Baptists 7 ; and the Methodists were numerous in the two .southern counties.

The Eddies which set towards the shore from the Gulf sti'eam cause many shipwrecks on this part of the coast, fur- nishing employment for the Baha- ma wreckers. The soil of Florida is in :;ome parts, especially on the banks of the riven^, equal to any in the world ; in other parts, it is in difierent. The country, however, has been but imperfectly explor- ed. Owing to its proximity to the sea on both sides, this peninsula has milder climate than the country to the W. of it, in the same latitude The productions are corn,rice, po- tatoes, cotton, hemp, olives, oran gf'a ;aid oiher tropical fruits, and it is .-upi.osyd that coffee and the su- gar cane will flourish here.

It is defended by Fort Wolcott, erected on Goal island, and by Forts Adams and Green. On Goat island is a U. S. military hospital. The site of the town is a beau- tiful declivity, which rises gradual- N E W Jy from the harbour, presenting a line view as you approach it from the water. The beauty of its sit- uation, and the salubrity of its cli- )«ate, have made it a place of fashionable resort from the south- ern and middle States during the summer months. The public buildings are a state-housef mar- ket-house, theatre, alms-house, li- brary, 5 banks, 2 insurance com- i)anies, and 11 churches, 4 for Japtists, 2 for Congregationalists, 1 for Episcopalians, 1 for Friends. 1 for Moravians, 1 for Methodists^ iind 1 for Jews. Newport has some trade with the East Indies, Europe and Cu- ba, but is chiefly engaged in the coasting trade. In 1819, the a- mount of shipping was 10,951 tons. The fisheries are very val- uable ; probably no fish market in the world afibrds a greater varie- ty.

The value flf the manufactures in 1810, was .^25,370,289; the amount of shipping, in 1815, was 309,290 tone ; and the revenue paid in 1815, ,';§: 15,49 1,730. The exports consist of wheat, Indian corn, rye, beef, pork, lumber, k.c. and their value in 1816, was , Si' 19,690,- 031 ; in 1817, ,^18,707.433; in 1820, .•sfl3,l63,21-4, about one-third of whicli was foreign produce. The Erie canal when complet- ed, uill be about 365 miles long. The route is as follows : Begin- ning at Albany, on the Hudson, u passes up the west bank of that river nearly to the mouth of the Mohawk ; then along the south bank of the Mohawk, through the counties of Albany, Schenectady, Montgomery, Herkimer, and O- neida, to Rome. From Rome it proceeds in a S. W. direction, and 'cr(.s.^cs Oneida crgck, into Madi- N E W 221 »oa county, where it turns to tlie VV. ahd passes tlirough Onondaga county, approaching within a niiJc and a hall" of Salina, at the S. end of Onondaga h\ke. It crosses Seneca river at Montezuma, and passing hy Lyons and Pahnyra, strikes the Genesee river at Ro- chester. West of the Genesee riv- er, it runs on the S. side of the Ridge road, and parallel with it for GO miles, and thcii turning to the south, joins Tonnewanta creek 11 miles from its mouth in IN iagara 'river. The channel of the Tonnevvanta will be made use of for these 11 miles, and the canal will then proceed in a south- erly direction fron\ the mouth of t^ie Tonnewanta along the east bank of Niagara river toBultalo on Lake Erie. The canal is 44 feet wide (in the middle section 40) on the surface, 28 at the bottom, and 4 feet deep. It is supposed that the whole ex- pense will not much exceed ^'^'4,- 500,000. The canal was com- meticed on the 4th of July 1817. Tiie Champlain canal was com- menced 10th June 1818, and com- pleted 28th November 1022. Its length from Whitehall at the Dioulh of Wood creek throuiih NEW Champlain to Fort Edward wai8 about ^'260,000 ; from Fort Ed- ward to Waterford the estimated expense is ,^400,000. jXew Vork, the first commercial city in America, is on the island of the same name,at the confluence of Hudson and East rivers, in lat. 40'-"' 42' 40" N. and Lon. 74" 0' 43' W, 90 m.N.

The compact part of the city is at the S. end of the island, and ex- tends along the Hudson about 2 miles; and from the Battery, in the S. W. corner along East river, about 2;| miles. Its cu'cuit is a- about 8 miles. Ail the northern part of the city has been recently laid out and is handsomely built ; the streets of the southern and an- cient part are fretiuently narrow and crooked, but are every year becoming more convenient. The princij^jai street is Broadway, which is 80 teet wide, antl extends from the Battery, in a N. E. direction, through the centre of tiie city, for three miles. It is generally well Fort Edward to the waters of tiie|!Hiilt, and a part of it is splendid Hudson at Waterford is (ilj^ of which 4(j miles is artificial nav- igation, and 15^ improved natur- al navigation. The part of the canal between Whitehall and Foi t Edward is 23 miles long. Its sum- mit level is supplied willr water by means of a dam constructed a- cross the Hudson, 2 m. l)elow Glenn's Falls, 30 feet in height. 900 feet long. The canal Is 40 feet wide at the surface, 23 at the bottom, and 4 feetdeep. The ex- pense of the canai fi-oni Lake The City Hall, is the most beau- tiful edifice in the U. S. The ex- pense was .ij(.500,000. Among the other pulylic buildings are the New- York hospital, the annual expen- diture of which is about ;^4O,000 ;" the Lunatic Asylum, completed in 1821, on a fine eminence on the Hudson 7 m.

The New York Eye Infirmary was founded in August 1820, by Doctors Edward Delafield and J Kearny Rodgers, who opened the institution at their own expense and in the course of 7 months had 430 patients. The Infirmary was then placed under a Board of Di rectors and received an act of In corporation. By the annual re port of Jan. J 823 it appears that the whole number of patients since the establishment of the Institution is 1,756. They are from almost every State in the Union, and sev- eral are from the adjacent Britisl j)rovinces, and from the West In- dies. Columbia College, former!} called King's College, was estab- lished in HM. It has a president, 5 professors, 14^ students, a library of3,000 or 4,000 volumes, a valua- ble philosophical apparatus, and an annual revenue of more than .S4,000. ^^ The college of Physicians and Surgeons has 7 professors, and is one of tlie most respectable and flourisliing medical institutions i the country. The Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Churcl was established in 1820. In 1822 tlie number of students was 22.

JViiigara, r. through which Lake Erie discharges itself into Lake Ontario, is celebrated for its fails, one of the grandest natural curi- osities on the globe. The river flows from S. to N. and is 35 miles long. At its efflux from Lake Erie it is 5 of a mile wide, from 40 to GO feet deep, and flows with a rurrentof 7 miles an hour. As it proceeds, the river spreads to the width of G or 7 miles, embosomin several islands, particukuly Grand and rSavy islands, which termin- ate in beautiful points 1.^ miles in the eastern channel, the stream is only 3 or 10 yards wide, form- ng a beautllul cascade. Between this small island and the U. Stales shore, the sheet of water is broad, and llie descent is greater by a few feet than at the Horse-shoe fall, but the stream is comparatively shallow. The falls are fcen to advantage from different positions. The best single view is that from the Table rock on the Canada side ; and the best view of the rapids is from Goat island, which is ingeniously connected by a bridge with the eastern shore. The view from die river below is the most entire. Below the falls, the river runs be- tween perpendicular banks 300 feet high to Queenston, 7 miles ; thence to Lake Ontario the coun- try is open. About 5 miles below the falls, is asemicircular basin on the E. side of the river 300 yards in circuit, inclosed by rocky clifl's. The current confined here forms a tremendous whirlpool, called tlie Devil's Hole, after which it as- unics a tranquil course. From above the falls. A little below the Lcwiston to its mouth, 8 miles. termination of these islands, com mcnce the rapids, which extend a mile to the precipice, in whicli space the descent is 57 feet. At the precipice the river is :| of a mile wide, and is divided by Goal island into 2 channels; the chan- nel between Goat island and the Eastern or U. States' shore, is also divided by a small island. Over the precipice the river falls per- pendicularly about 160 feet. Much the greater part of the water passes in the channel between Goat island and the Canada shore This fall is called from its shape the Horse-shoe fiiU. Between Goat i.-.laml and the small islaucl fiords a good harbour for vessels. Kiofi-ara, co. N. Y. Pop. 22,- 990. The courts sit at Lewiston.

A part of the city is built on the margin of the river ; the rest upon Shockoe hill, which overlooks the lower part of the city, and commands an extensive and delightful prospect of the river and adjacent country. Richmond is finely situated for a commercial and manufacturing city, being at the head of tide wa- ter, and having an extensive back country, abounding with tobacco, wheat, and coal. The value of (he produce exported from Rich- mond and Manchester is about ,i^8,000,000 annually. Shipping in loUi, 9,943 tons. James river is navigable for vessels of 230 tons to Warwick, and for those of 125 to Rockets, a mile below Rich- mond. The state-house or capitol is built in a commanding situation on Shockoe hill. The design was taken from La Maison Quaree at Nimes, but the execution falls greatly short of the original. h\ the centre of a spacious hall, in the middle of the building, stands a marble statue of Washington, executed in Paris. The city also contains a spacious and elegant court-house, a state- prison of brick which cost ^135,- 402 ; a jail, alms-house, 2 market houses, a museum, an acadeniv ©1 RID 255 ROA fine arts, Lancasterian school, fe- male orphan asyluiD, Shanks inclu- ding a branch of the U.

It is navigable to the Muscle Shoals, 259 miles, at all seasons. Here it spreads out, and becomes so shallow, that it is difficult for boats to pass, when the water is low. Abo\e the shoals there is no ob- struction for 250 miles, till you come to the Suck or Whirl, where the river breaks through the Cum- berland mountains. The river is here compressed to a width of about 70 yards. Just as it enters the mountain, a large rock pro- jecting from the northern shore, causes a sudden bend in the river ; the water is thrown with great violence and rapidity against the southern shoie, whence it rebounds around the point of the rock, and produces the whirl. Boats pass the whirl without much danger or difficulty. Tennessee ridge, separates the \vaters of the Tennessee and Cum- iand rivers. Tensaw, r. AI. the eastern out- let of Mobile river.

C. rises in the Alleghany mountains, and passes into South Ca!olina,where it takes the name of Great Pedee, which it preserves till it falls into Win- yaw bay, near Georgetown. Tiie river was surveyed untler the di- rection of the Yadkin Navigation company, in 1818, from Wilke- court-hou?c in the mountains, to Cheraw Hill, about 6 miles below the South Carolina boundary, a tlistance of 247^ miles. The ex- pense of making it navigable for boats of ten tons througii this dis- tance, is estimated at ^250,234, exclusive of llie narrows, where for the present it is intended" to make a turnpike road for 7 miles. The distance from Cheraw Hill to Georgetown by land is 103 miles, but by water 270. It is thought tiiat at least one-third of that dis- tance can be saved by canals at a moderate expense.

The naviga- tion of tlie Muskingum is uninter- rupted from its mouth to this place; the falls aflbrd numerous and fine mill-seats, and the surrounding country abounds with inexhausti- ble beds of coal for such establish- ments as require the use of fuel. Here are already erected 2 glass- houses, several flour mills, an oil- mill, saw-mills, a nail factory, and woollen factory. The town con- tains besides 2 banks, 2 printing- oftices, a court house, and several public offices. There are 2 bridges over the river at this place. A company was incorporated in 1814, for the construction of a canal and locks around the falls, and the work is now rapidly advancing. The expense is estimated at from 70,000 to 100,000 dollars, and the company intend to unite with the canal extensive water works, for manufacturing purposes. Lon. 82° 3^ W. Lat 39° 58' N.
