B. 517 530 to 515 INTRODIJCTIOI. The object of this work is nothing less than to extend the connections between leading commercial, manufacturing and mer- cantile nnen^ in the cities of the West. In the body of this Directory, •each firm or establishment will foe made acquainted, as it were by a letter of introduction, with •every other principal house on the Western Waters. In this number, we may not have brought our plan to thai state of perfection which is desirable and practicable. The idea did not occur to us in season to make all the collections, necessary to a perfect work. But if the present edition shall be so fortu- nate as to pay its way, and restore to us our expenditures of money, on its account, we shall cheerfully consent to lose our care and labor, and make preparations at once to issue a more complete Directory for the next year. Our design is to make it a medium of acquaintance from city to city, not only between business men, but, as it were, between the various corporations themselves ; to show each commercial town what are the trade, location, wealth, prospect, taxation, debt and resources, of all similar places with which it has business relations. If we can in this way facilitate the intercourse, or increase the mutual knowledge of the citizens of western cities, we think an important object will be attained ; and we shall, in order to relieve the dryness of a mere table of cards^ statistics and figures, insert much matter of historical interest, to which every intelli- gent Westerner will turn with satisfaction. The scope of our undertaking is such, that it will, when finished according to our wishes, include all the important towns west of the Allegheny Mountains, connected by navigation, either natural or artificial. In the historical details of the separate cities, it would be neces- sary, in case we should ascend to its remotest occupation, to repeal a IS Discoveries by the Spaniards. many events, some of them many times. For instance, a perfect history of the city of Pittsburgh, would embrace the annals of the early French discoverers ; New Orleans is in the same condition, having been first occupied by the same people in their early en- terprises in North America ; Natchez and St, Louis, Vincennes and Detroit, have the same origin. From all these places we shall procure a compact, yet substantially complete record of their annals, and their advance, through the lapse of many generations, to the rank of important commercial cities. To avoid, as much as possible, the necessity of a tedious repeti- tion, we offer a condensed view of these discoveries, as they are said to have been made, in the Mississippi Valley, This rapid sketch will embrace ail the region now called by the name of the West, through which trade has established its channels ; and will therefore answer for reference in all cases where the reader is desirous to trace the history 5f the city of his residence back to the first appearance of civilized man upon its shores. Our Directory will thus eventually become the repository of a large portion of Western history, in which future generations may trace the rise and progress of its commercial greatness. THE SPANISH ADVENTURERS. The Spanish nation, among other recollections of the days of their pride and power, refer to the discovery of the Mississippi, as the result of their enterprise and courage. They relate the fact, that Ferdinand De Soto, a companion of Pizarro, and emu- lous of his fame — a man who had been governor of Cuba — landed at Espirito Santo, in Florida, in May, 1539, with 900 men and 300 horses. With a part of this force, he penetrated the forests so far as to strike the Mississippi, at the lower ChicJeasaiv Bluffs, in 1541. They cross the river, and journey up along its western shore, in search of wealthy cities, and rich mines of gold, probably as far as New Madrid. Parties of Spaniards went onward towards the Mississippi ; but found nothing of the wealth of which they were in search. The little army struck into the country on the west, and finally rested for the winter on the banks of the Washita. In 1542, they return to the river Mississippi, at the mouth of Spanish Adventures — De Soto. 19 Hed river, called the country of the Guackoya. On the 21st of May, De Soto died ; and his body, as some authors say, wrapped (in a cloak, and others, enclosed in an oak log, was sunk in the waters 'of the Mississippi. The Spaniards liberated their slaves, and in the next spring had prepared barges for descending the river, A large number of these warlike adventurers perished miserably in combats vi^ith the Indian tribes, by starvation, and by the fatal- ity of the climate ; but enough of them survived to relate their travels, and to furnish their countrymen with a description of the Lower Mississippi. Whether this relation was known in France, at the moment when her people took up the cause of Western discovery, we cannot at this remote day satisfactorily determine. Her foremost and most enthusiastic travellers in the new world, leave us to infer, that their first knowledge of the existence of that river was derived from the natives who inhabited the Upper Lakes. But it is a most rational supposition, to think that the}' may have heard of the great river of the Spaniards, and j'et regarded the stream which the Indians of lake Huron marked out in their rude style upon the ground, as another river, occupying a more west- erly position, of greater length, and having a different connection with the ocean. The French therefore claim the honor of dis- covering the Mississippi. THE FRENCH DISCOVERERS. This people approached the gulf of Mexico, by way of the St. Lawrence and the lakes. In the fall of the year 1535, in the reign of Francis I., a Frenchman, by the name of Cartier, as- cended the river St. Lawrence, as far as the island of Montreal. Six years afterwards, a fort or trading post was established at Quebec, destined to abandonment in a short time. The site of the old fort was revisited by Champlain, in 1603; and, in 1608, an association of merchants of Rouen, St. Malo, and La Rochelle, commence the city which has since risen to such commercial im- portance. In 1620, it was well established, and a good fort erected there. During the year 1625, the Jesuit missionaries, who had already appeared on the banks of the St. Lawrence, carried the cross to •20 French Settlements in %B.merica. the shores of Lake Huron ; and, in 1634, Daniel and Brebeauf es- tablished a permanent missionary station upon its shores. It is probable that they reached Lake Huron by way of Lake Erie, and the rivers Detroit and St. Clair. In 1641, two missionaries, >ff«»z6oM/^ and Jbr/^e*, arrived at the Falls of St. Mary's, and found there 200 Nadoivessies, or Sioux, disposed to receive the gospel. From thence, these devoted ministers of the cross, pressed, in considerable numbers, into the Indian country ; offering the rites of the Catholic religion, baptism and absolution, to all such as would receive them. The French traders travelled in company with the Holy Fath- ers, gathering rich cargoes of northern furs from the native tribes along the Lakes. The Abbe Mesnard preached repentance to the Sioux, at Ke- wena Bay, on Lake Superior, in 1660 ; but, desirous to spread his faith still farther, along these inhospitable shores, he departed for Chegoimegou, and perished in the woods. Five years afterwards, Father t^//o^^^> reached Chegoimegou, and erected a chapel there. The Chippewas, Hurons, (or Wyan- dots,) the Sioux ; the Illinois and the Ottawas, inseparable allies of the Hurons ; were at this time (October, 1665) in grand coun- cil at this place. They spoke of a great river, which they called Messipi. Nicholas Perrot, a layman, and authorized by the French In- tendant of Canada, assembles the nations at St. Mary's in 1671. After much friendly intercourse at St. Mary's, Perrot, Marquette, and Dablau, proceed to explore the western shore of Lake Michi- gan ; and Perrot succeeds in reaching the present site of the city of Chicago. Joliet, a French officer, was commissioned to find the "'great river;" and, in 1763, being accompanied by Father Marquette, two Indian guides, and five voyageurs, they ascended the Fox River of Green Bay. On the tenth of June, they drew their canoes across the Winnebaga portage, and launched them upon the current of the " Ouisconsin." The aborigines depicted this stream as dangerous in the extreme ; not only by reason of its quicksands, whirlpools, and rapids, but there, and in the great river itself, dreadful demons had taken up their abode, who caught up all passengers in their horrid embrace. The adventurers per- Upper Mississippi Discovered, 21 sisted, however, in their voyage, and, in seven days, floated out into the broad channel of the Mississippi, unhurt. Here, having accomplished the glorious object of their mission in safety, they offer thanks to Almighty God for his protection, standing on the banks of the mightiest river of the world. On its shores, and es- pecially along the borders of the Wiskonsin, they beheld such scenery as no traveller had seen before them — the rolling upland prairie, spread out beyond the sweep of vision, on every side a meadow clothed in the deepest green. They saw every variety of game feeding on the hill sides, which was easily brought down by their muskets ; and having feasted their bodies upon the fish, fowl, and wild meat of the region, and their eyes with the surpas- sing beauty of the great valJey, the threshhold of which only was passed, they committed themselves to the guidance of the newly found river of their desires. They floated onward to the mouth of ihe Ohio, which thev call the " Ouabache,^' where they found a band of the Shawnees residing. They even continued to sail downward, to the mouth of the Arkansas ; but here terminated the expedition. Joliet returns to Quebec, by way of the Illinois River and Chi- cago creek, to lay the results of the journey before his patron, the Intendant Talon. Talon is overjoyed to learn that his Nouvelle France, in addition to lakes of greater extent and purer water than any in the known world, embraced a luxuriant domain, equal to all Europe, and rivers upon a scale of greater magnificence than the other displays of nature in this hidden world. Marquette remained with the Miamies about the south end of Lake Michigan, until May, 1675, inculcating the precepts of the Gospel. He was already advanced in life, and exhausted by trav- el and exposure. Coasting along the eastern shore of the lake, he steered his canoe into the mouth of a creek, which now bears his nanf.e. He landed upon the shore, and retired amid the trees, fragrant with the buds and flowers of spring, to pray in secret — knelt down upon the ground — and was soon after found dead at the same place. But mankind have awarded to the Chevalier La Salle the merit ■of making the first thorough exploration of the Mississippi, and •of establishing settlements upon its waters. He constructed the first vessel which spread her white wings upon the waters of Lake 22 La Salle. Erie. The Grijin, a sail-craft of 60 tans, was launched at the mouth of Tonewanda Creek, on the 7th of August, 1679. She pursued her course through the lake, the Detroit river, and the Lake of the Hurons, to Mackinaw, on the peninsula of Michigan,i where a trading post and fort were established. The GrifSn was loaded with furs, on her return, to the great* joy of Monsieur La Salle. In her were the results of many yearS of incredible exertion — his entire fortune, and with it, the re- sources that were to sustain bis enterprise. She was heard of no more. The adventurer took canoes, and coasted down the east- ern shore of Lake Michigan. He ascended the St. Joseph's ; and finding a low swampy tract, which communicated with a southern stream, be transported their light vessels into the Kankakee, and down it to the Illinois. On its banks, they built the fort of Crevecceur, or the " broken heart ;" signifying the forlorn state their feelings at the time. Here they winter in 1779-80, and a- await the return of the Grififin. It was not until 17S2 that La Salle himself descended the river, determined to find its discharge into the ocean. At the Chickasaw Bluffs, he erected a cabin ; at the mouth of the Arkansas, raised a cross \ and, sailing with the principal chan- nel, on the 9th of April, he sav/ the Gulf of Mexico. Here he planted the arms of France, in token of possession, and returned by way of Creveceur and the lakes, to the city of Paris. To the French court, the affair appeared to be of high import- ance. It was determined that the ^^ Meschasebe^^ should become the residence of Frenchmen ; and La Salle was provided with ybwr vessels, 100 soldiers, and 180 artisans, to effect this object. They enter the gulf, but pass the mouths of the Great River, \vithout being able to find them ; and landing finally at the Bay of Matagorda, erect Fort St. Louis, in June, 1685. After suffer- ing at this post a year and a half, the Chevalier departs by land, in search of the "fatal river," with a company of sixteen men. Twenty-four, the remnant of his armament, remain at the fort. On the Trinity river, one of his men kills his nephew ; and when La Salle inquires after the young man, they strike him to the earth, where be dies. But the system of colonization was not abandoned, on account of the loss of its pioneer. La Salle had established a fort andj La Salle in Texas — New Oi'leans Settled. g3 a trading post on the St. Joseph's, called Fort Miami ; and his party, soon after his arrival on the Illinois, located a station on the Kaskaskias. Monsieur D'Iberville, reached the mouth of the Mississippi, in 1699, as the successor of La Salle : built a fort; and ascended to the village of the Natchez. As he crossed the low ground after landing, and walked up the hill in view of the Indi- an town, he was so much delighted with the beauty of the spot, that he immediately traced out a fort, and called it Rosalie, after the Duchess of Pontchartrain. In returning, he met an English ship of 12 guns, claiming for the crown of Great Britain the entire region which the French had traversed. They (the English) insisted that Cabot had dis- covered the entire coast of Florida, as this region was then called, by sailing along the Atlantic shore. But being at once ordered to depart, they did so, threatening, as they went, to return in the following year with force, and drive away these French interlopers. But they did not come ; and the next year more Frenchmen ar- rived, who made the first settlement at the Isle of Dauphin. In 1712, this place wa« abandoned^ but "Maubile" and Biloxi con- tinued. This was the year of Crozafs grant, bounded on the North by the Illinois. Crozat resigns his monopoly in 1717, and John Laid^s great '" Company of the Indies," take possession of Louisiana, as Mon- sieisr D'Iberville chose to call it. The governor, M< Bieiiville, selects New Orleans as a post of trade and defence. In 1719, France and Spain being at open war, the French fall upon Pensa- cola, a Spanish town, which they capture and occupy; but the Spaniards repossess themselves of the place, and the French colonial troops again invest and carry the fo - 3,505 St Louis, - ^ ^ 5,667 St. Genevieve, - . ~ 4,620 Cape Girardeau, - - 3,888 New Madrid, - ~ ^ 3,313 Arkansas, « % - 1,067 , Total, - 21,845 34 Rates of Gold. Both banks of the river, under the impulse of our people, who derive their enterprise from the happy and free nature of their government, are now occupied by constitutional states, as far north as the latitude of the Lakes. Population has spread itself to its source, and commerce enliv- ens its entire length. In 1712, there were supposed to be but 28 families resident on the Mississippi and its waters. Now, there are 6,000,000 of souls. -♦♦- CUSTOM HOUSE RATES OF GOLD. United States Eagle, old emission, - - ^10 63 D 0. do. new di 0. - 10 00 English Guinea, . - 5 04 Do. Sovereign, - - * 4 89 Do.

The earliest commercial transactions on the western waters, were the operations in furs, in the days of Joliet and La Salle. This was a profitable trade, carried on in bark canoes, and centred at Quebec. The French extended their traffic by degrees to all the Upper Mississippi and its tributaries, particularly the Missouri, Illinois, and the Ouabash. The reign of the English traders was short, and the scope of the Americans, who succeeded them in the Ohio country, was comparatively limited. Next followed the pirogues, batteaus, and non-descripts, which floated the pioneers and their families down the Ohio. The first trip to New Orleans from Pittsburgh and back, was made in 1776 by Gibson and Linn, who returned in the spring of 1777, with their boats and cargoes, consisting of 136 kegs of powder. It is stated by Breckenridge, that as early as 1746, there were 800,000 pounds of flour delivered at N. Orleans, from the French settlements on the Mississippi, Illinois and Wabash. This is equal to 400 tons, and with the furs that were now taken down the river, must have been transported in boats that returned again laden with goods. As the trade of the Ohio river increased, the keel boat was brought out, larger, more secure and comfortable, than the open canoe, pirogue, or batteaux. They had a capacity of about 30 tons each. In July, 1794, a line composed of two of these boats, fitted up in extraordinary style, was established between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. A part of the recommendation, as published in the " Northwestern Cen- tinel," is expressed in the following words: 36 Early Transportation — Keels and Steamers, " No danger need be apprehended from the enemy, aa every* person on board will be under cover, made proof against rifle or musket balls, and convenient port holes for firing oat of. Each of the boats are armed with six pieces, carrying a pound ball, also a number of good muskets, and amply supplied with plenty of ammunition J strongly manned with choice hands, and masters of approved knowledge.'^ On the keel hoatj an improvement or an enlargement wa& made which added much to the importance of the craft and ex- tended its measurement to 100 tons. This boat was called the ^ Barge J"* The Flat Boat is a more modern invention than the bargej brought into use by the demand for lumber at New Or- leans. When saw mills began to operate on the Ohio and its branches, the flat boat was easily built; it carried securely from 50 to 80 tons, and would sell for timber and lumber at the end of the voyage. In the year 1811, the keel boat stood at the head of western craft. The schooners, brigs, and ships, built at Pitts- burgh and Marietta, took out cargoes on their way to the Gulf, but never returned. From 1811 to 1817, keels and barges divided the transporta- tion. During these six years, steamboats were first known upon these rivers, but they for the most part only descended with the current, and were seen no more. Freighters had no confidence in them, which is not wonderful, when we remember that no one of them could stem the current of an upward voyage until 181", and no regular trip down and back was made until 1817. See Sketch of Pittsburgh. In 1794, the up-river trade from Cincinnati is said to have been performed by four or Jive keels, making monthly trips. In 1810, the freight from New Orleans for the Ohio river, is estimated at 300 tons, which appears to be a low calculation; for three years after and in 1813, it is put at ten times that amount, or 3000 tons. The down-river freight was probably more than twice the weight of the return cargo. Barge freight up stream from New Orleans to Cincinnati was four ot five dollars per hun- dred; and this was a reduction upon charges during the exclusive dominion of keels. But in low and even ordinary stages of water, the barge could not surmount the falls, and here delivered her load to the keel above. increase of Steamers and Flat Boats, 37 The total of the ascending tonnage of the Ohio river is reckoned hy Morgan Neville, Esq. at 2000 tons for the year IS 17, brought «i8p by 20 barges. He supposes there were then in existence 150 keels of 30 tons capacity on an average, principally employed -in the " Upper Ohio." The successful results of the steam boats of Fulton and French, drove the keels and barges from these waters. At the close of this year, the Orleans, Pittsburgh, Vesuvius, Franklin, Harriet and WasMngton^ six larg€ boats, had been built by Fulton, or upon his plan. The Despatch, Comet, and Enterprise, smaller boats, by Fi'eneh, according to his patent of 1809, with vibrating cylinders. The Oliver Evans, btiilt by William Evans at Pittsburgh, on another plan, had exploded at Point-Coupee. But only the En- terprise and Washington had returned to the Ohio. Six other boats had been constructed at various points. In 1818, twenty-nine new boat« came out, one of which, tlie General Pike, was the first of the class of passenger boats. In 1819, thirty-one. were launched, and by the year 1S25, it was supposed that the combined wealth and ingenuity of man could add nothing to the splendor or the speed of a western steamboat. It will not be supposed that our accounts of the navigation of !the early days, are strictly correct. Statistics were then seldom thought of, and the recollections of intelligent men differ very ma- terially. Some say that the barge seldom made more than one trip to New Orleans aiad back, in a year; others, that it might be made in a hundred days, and in general in six months. Of the tnumber and tonnage of keel-boats, less certainty exists than of any thing else; but the informatioa we have should not be rejected^ while we have no other or better. With the increase of steam- boats, there came also an increase in the number of flat-boats. Up to the close of 1827, 256 steamers had been built, of which 73 had gone out of use, leaving 183 in service. If we put 30 of these boats in the New Orleans trade for the Ohio river, and allow 100 tons as the usual up-river freight, they ferought about 18,000 tons of groceries and other merchandize into the country; which would be an increase of 16,000 for ten years. At the commencement of 1834, there were 230 steam-boats doing ijusiness on the western rivers. At the close of 1835, 588 boats 3S Steainboat Losses — Increase of Freight, had been constructed in the West, and 292 of them were out of use; 296 remaining in trade. Of the missing, 40 had been snagged and 30 burnt; and to the year 1832, 21 had exploded, killing 139 persons that were known, and others unknown. From 1822 to 1827, the number of boats snagged is stated to have been sixteen, involving the loss of ^1,362,500 in property. For the next five years, from 1827 to 1832, 10 boats with a loss of ^381,000, — a difference between the property destroyed and the number of boats, which appears quite too great. By the form- er, the average of each boat is ^85,156; by the latter, |13S,100. The number of flat-boats descending the Mississippi and its tributaries was estimated in 1832 at 4,000, carrying each 60 to 70 tons. In 1842, the number was still put at 4,000. The number of steam-boats then running was estimated at 450, with an average burden of 200 tons, or 90,000 in the aggregate. These, with the 4,000 flat-boats, had the capacity of transporting from the upper countr}"- to Orleans, 1,635,000 tons per year. The increase of boats, to facilitate transportation, is a pretty fair index to the increase of property requiring transporting: but for products taken out of the country, by way of the Mississippi, we have a more certain way of arriving at the amount. The commer- cial editors in New Orleans, present 5^earlj statements of the re- ceipts and exports of that city — a point where all the western produce takes ship. We give the principal articles landed there in 1825 and in 1843, inclusive, by which a contrast of eighteen years improvement is presented to the eye.

The Missouri river, explored by the French in 1705, is now a commercial channel of importance. The steam boat "Inde- pendence," built at Pittsburgh in 1818, 50 tons burden, was the first to ascend the Missouri by the force of steam. The "Western Engineer," of the same place, was built in the same year, by Major Long, of the Topographical Engineers, for ttie exploring expedition, and reached Council Bluffs, 650 miles above the mouth of the river. In the year 1838, there were seventeen boats in the Missouri trade, making ninety-six trips in the season. In 1839, thirty-five boats and 141 trips; 1840, 28 boats, 147 trips; 1841, boats 32, trips 162; 1842, 28 boats, trips 188; and in 1843, 26 boats made 205 trips, or 64 more than 35 40 Commerce of Missouri and Upper Mississippu boats had accomplished in 1839. This increase in the number of passages, may be in part due to the speed of boats, but must be owing mainly to the removal of snags and obstructions from the channel of the river. The Upper Mississippi is now attracting attention by the rapid increase of its exports. There arrived from this region at St. Louis, In 1841, 143 steamboats and 108 keels; « 1842, 195 « « 88 " " 1843, 244 « « 55 « It has been considered that nature forbids a regular navigation of the Upper Mississippi, by interposing rocks and ice. But here is a statement of the winter obstructions, showing them to be much less than upon the Lakes of the North.

In 1841, there was received at St. Louis from the mining region 152,814 pigs of Lead— in 1842, 447,856—1843, 531,321, and during the three years lead in the form of shot to the amount of 50,000 pigs. Copper is now produced in small quantities; in 1843 of the value of ^11,000, expected to double in 1844. The value of Lead annually smelted on the Mississippi, is put at 81,000,000. The amount received at New Orleans from 1828 to 1840, 2,966,362 pigs. The entire steamboat tonnage of the United States, in Septem- ber, 1842, was 218,994 tons, and of this 126,278, or more than one half, does business on the western waters. The number of boats in 1842 was estimated for the Mississippi and its branches at 450, and during 1843 120 were built. The first estimate of the number has been much questioned, and the general impression seems to be, that there were on the 1st of January, 1844, 600 steamers afloat. They are rated at 200 tons each, which would give 120,000 tons. If the official returns of tonnage in 1842 are correct, there is still an under-estimate either in the number or capacity of our boats.

At ^25,000 each for boat and cargo, the loss of property is ^^1,400,- 000 annually. The Cincinnati memorial to Congress for 1843, represents the combined amount of property put afloat on the Mississippi and its tributaries, at $220,000,000. Of this 120,000,000 is regarded as belonging to internal commerce from town to town in all direc- tions, and consisting principally of home manufactured produc- tions. Fifty millions is considered as the amount of imports from beyond the mountains on the east, and fifty or the same sum for the foreign goods which ascend the Mississippi from the Gulf. By the census of 1840, the capital engaged in all manufactures in the five large cities of the Valley was ^^12,840,350, distributed as follows: Pittsburgh $2,057,942, Cincinnati $7,469,912, Louis- ville $864,006, St. Louis $674,250, New Orleans, 1,774,200. The manufacturing capital in the smaller cities and villages of the same region must be as much more, or in all $25,680,700. The annual product of Pittsburgh and of Cincinnati is consid- ered about the same in value, though the capital invested in the latter place in 1840 was more than three times larger than in the former. But if the capital employed turned out over all the region fabrications of only three times its own value, we shall have $77^043,100, as the result of manufacturing industry and capital. The general opinion is that the product is much greater. CHCIMATI Cincinnati, though the second city of the West, in wealth, pop- ulation, and business, is the youngest in years of any principal town beyond the mountains. Her history has none of the doings of the ancient French to enliven its recital; and but little of the early adventurers, which has not been repeated an hundred times in print. Cities were founded at Pittsburgh, Wheeling, Mays- ville, Louisville, St. Louis, Natchez, and New Orleans, before it occurred to the mind of any speculator that a place could be made to flourish here. Not even an Indian trader had been known to stop for the purposes of traffic — certainly no post or establishment of the kind was made. The only indications in its favor were, that the prior occupants of the country, the race of the mounds, had regarded it as a place of some importance. Their city had occupied the handsomest part of the Cincinnati basin, extending from Ludlow to Mound streets, and from Third to Northern Row; but at this day not a trace is left of their constructions — at the first settlement so remarkable, that they struck the eye of ev- ery visiter. The most prominent work lay between Walnut and Race, on Fifth and Fourth Streets. It was an elliptical embankment, which had an opening of 90 feet wide at the eastern end. The major axis was nearly parallel to Fourth and 830 feet in length, the minor axis being 730. The height of the wall or embankment is represented to have been from three to seven feet, and its breadth at the base thirty to 40. Judge Burnet preserved a segment of the curve from des- truction in the square between Vine, Race, Third and Fourth un- til the property passed into other hands. The walls were turned outwards at the opening in the form of oblong mounds, and from the southern wing a mound or raised %^ncient Works, 43 path, like a turnpike, ran in a curved form to the corner of Third and Main, crossing Main and terminating in a flat mound, on the lot occupied by the office of Ellis & Vallette. Another enclosure of earth, like the former without ditches, but not fully described, occupied the space between Sycamore and Ludlow and Fourth and Fifth. A small circle lay in Fifth, east of the last namfed figure. Just above the canal, Vine-Street passed through a second el- lipse, 760 feet long, and about 40 wide, the walls only two feet high. Its greatest axis lay in the direction of north about 60° west, and it had an opening at the middle of the south side, 30 feet wide. Beyond this, and near the north-east corner of the section (No, 18,) was an artificial circular pit, 12 feet deep and fifty feet across, sometimes called a well. But the most notorious object of the days of the ancient race was a mound at the corner of Fifth and Mound streets, 35 feet high and as steep as the earth would retain its position. There were also small mounds at the north-east corner of Western Row and Eighth Streets. In the process of demolition to which all these relics of a lost people have been given up, many curious ar- ticles, earthenware and shells, were found. In the mound, at the north-east corner of Third and Main, at the natural surface of the earth, there lay the skeleton of a human being in a rude coffin of loose stones. In the great mound on Fifth Street, the usual skele- ton was found. The workmen also produced a stone which they say was lying with it near the level of the surrounding land, and had upon one of its faces a regularly wrought series of figures or hierogl3'phics. (See cut, next page.) Skeletons were found near the top of the mound, a common oc- currence in opening western tumuli. These, and many of the trinkets dug from them, are evidently the remains of a more mod- ern people confounded with the ancient race. Even the whites had a fondness for these mounds, as a burial place in the early settlements. There is a collection of them near the road, about a mile and a quarter south of Piketon, Ohio, whose green sides are covered with graves and grave-stones. Many of the ancient works of Ohio and the West are objects of grandeur from their size and antiquity; and all of them have amys- 44 Hieroglyphics — »dncient Works. terious interest, arising from the curious and unmeaning forms in wiiich they are laid out. Only a few of them had a design, thai we can discover. Some stand upon difficult eminences, evidently intended as places of security; but there is only one instance where there is any evidence of an attack from an enemy, among tlie 35 or forty works of Ohio. The works on the plain at Cin- cinnati were not of a defensive character. With the race of the mounds, as with all other people, their most lasting and expensive structures have relation to public displays. If they are a religious Survey. — Settlement. 45 of a superstitious race, costly temples are raised, constructed ac- cor:ling to their ideas of taste and splendor. Some nations have bestowed great labor upon theatres, amphitheatres and circuses; others upon senate houses and princely residences, and so it was with the forgotten people who preceded us. Their works, how- ever, bear the impress of peace and devotion, erected by an agri- cultural class, who had consequently a portion of civilization. In addition to these evidences of the remote occupation of man, a large Indian trail or road crossed the Ohio at the mouth of the Licking, and passed many hundred miles southward through the (Cumberland Gap. It w^as the great high-way, or war path, from the northern lakes to the Carolinas. Those were the only marks of the ancient presence of human beings, when Filson came hei'e to make survej^s in the fall of 1788. He entered the forest with his compass, and was never heard of afterwards. Filson's place was supplied by Israel Ludlow, who became a co-proprietor in section 18 and fraction 17, with Robert Patter- son and Mathias Denman, the original owner. Ludlow and his party made a lodgment in the last days of the same year. A few lots were laid out by Ludlow, called the donation lots, which were drawn on the 7th of January, 1789, at the city of'Losanti- ville." Thirty men became possessed by this lottery of an in and out-lot a piece, on condition that they enter upon the lots, raise and attend two crops of not less than an acre, and build and occupy a house 20 feet square on the front of each in-lot; all with- in two years, unless drawn off by Indian depredations. Against the affected name of Losantiville, Judge Symmes and General St. Clair afterwards remonstrated so strongly, that the proprietors, Denman, Patterson, and Ludlow, changed it to that of Cincinnati. About a year after the drawing, Denman sold to Joel Williams his entire third. Shortly after, Patterson sold to Samuel Freeman, who transferred to Williams another third. The original cost of the section and fraction, containing about 700 acres, was ^500, of continental certificates, worth five shillings in the pound. Williams, now owner of two thirds of Cincinnati, a city then burdened with a heavy growth of Sycamores, with here and there a small chopping on the corner lots, located himself upon the river bank between Front Street and the water. 46 Military Post — Organization. He had a residence there, and for a long series of years suppos- ed himself the owner of the land whereon he had built. But mod- ern advancement required a public levee or landing; and the ma- chinery of the law was set in motion to procure one. The result was favorable to the city, to whom the Supreme Court of the Unit- ed States awarded all the space between Main, Front, Broadway and the river, from which the early proprietor was expelled. In June, 1789, the place became a military post. Major Doughty, with 140 men, arrived from Fort Harmar, and erected four block-houses just east of the section line, between Third and Fourth. By November, they had completed a stockade and bar- racks, which they called Fort Washington. General Harmar in- troduced a reinforcement of 300 men in December, and it remain- ed a garrison until 1809. Since that year, the station has been maintained as a recruiting depot on the Kentucky side at the mouth of Licking. General Arthur St. Clair, the first and only provin- cial governor of the '• territory north-west of the Ohio," arrived in January, 1790, supported by three judges, to whom, in concert with the governor, the powers of the State were confided. President Washington had determined upon striking the Indian nations, at the sources of the three Miamis; and Fort Washing- ton became the scene of military preparations. Some daring settlers had dispersed themselves in little bands in the interior, erecting strong log cabins, or block houses, for pro- tection. There were four or five of these advanced " stations" within half a day's march of the Fort. About fifteen men were captured or killed within this circle during the year, some of them on the town plat of Cincinnati. Washington's directions to St. Clair were to secure peace, if possible, without the expense of a war, which the government, overwhelmed by debt, were little able to sustain. On the 5th of April, 1790, Major Hamtramck, the commandant at Fort Knox, had sent Antoine Gamelin, to the Wabash and Miami Indians, with a speech containing peaceable propositions, (American State Papers, Indian Affairs, vol. 1, p. 97.) On the 14th, the Kickapoos and Ouitanons say to Gamelin, "You invite us to stop our young men; it is impossible to do it, they being constantly encouraged by the British." Blue Jacket, a Shawnee, replied to the messenger on the 25th, Fighting at Fort Wayne. 47 " My friend, by the name and consent of the Shawnees and Del- awares, I will speak to you. We are all sensible of your speech, and pleased with it. But, after consultation, we cannot give an answer without hearing from our father at Detroit." On the 28th, Le Gris, the Great Chief of the Miamis, said " we cannot give you a positive answer, we must send your speeches to all our neighbors, and to the Lake nations — we cannot give a definite answer, without consulting the commandant at Detroit." The Kickapoos replied on the 4th of May, repeating the old story, that they could not restrain their young men. The mission of Gamelin having thus failed, the Governor, on the 15th of July, directed 700 of the Kentucky militia to rendez- vous at Fort Steuben, (Falls of the Ohio,) and at Fort Washington, between the 12th and 15th of September. Five hundred Pennsylvanians were ordered to meet at McMa- hon's Creek on the Ohio, four miles below Wheeling, on the 3d of the same month. Col. Hardin, with a body of pioneers, set out on the 27th of September, to open roads into the Indian country. On the 30th, General Joseph Harmar, began the march, with three pieces of artillery. The remainder of the troops arrived from Fort Harmar on the 2d of October and joined in the expedi- tion on the 3d. It numbered 1453 men including 320 regular troops. They reached the principal village at the junction of the St. Marys and the St. Josephs, on the 16th, now the site of the village of Fort Wayne, 170 miles from Cincinnati. The Indian town being deserted, the cabins and wigwams numbering 300, and their standing corn, supposed to be about 20,000 bushels, were de- stroyed. The savages, however, were not distant. They saw the operations of the troops from the adjoining thickets, and despatched all the fool-hardy stragglers who wandered from the camp. The commander, by a general order of the 18th, informs them officially of the folly of risking their scalps in the pursuit of camp kettles and other plunder, and forbids them straying without the lines. There appears to have been other towns in the neighborhood. On the 20th instant, the army is encamped at « Chillicothe^^ a 48 Harmar's Advance, village on the " OmeeP Capt. Strong is ordered to destroy if; and Col. Hardin to burn the Pickaway towns. It would seem, that the first fighting occurred on the 19th; a detachment of Col. Hardin's command having been surprised on that day on a prairie. Of 30 regular troops, only three privates and two officers returned. Gen. Harmar was indignant —in an order dated at the Chillicothe camp on the 20th, he says, " the cause of the detachment being worsted yesterday, was entirely owing to the shameful and cowardly conduct of the militia, who ran away and then threw down their arms without firing scarcely a single gun. In returning to Fort Washington, if any officer or man shall presume to quit their ranks, and not march in the form they are ordered, the General will most assuredly direct the artillery to fire upon them." On the 2lst, the return march was commenced and eight miles of the distance accomplished, when the troops, stung with the disgrace of the first encounter, desired permission to return to Maumee town, with Col. Hardin at their head. The Colonel and about 500 of his militia and Major Willis, and 60 of the United States troops, were allowed to make the expedition. A«? was anticipated, the Indian force was at the ruins of their town. They contrived, by an artful retreat, to draw the Americans across the St. Marys, and along the St. Josephs river some miles. The regulars were by some means separated from the militia, when the savage troops fell upon them with knives and tomahawks, and suffered but nine out of sixty to escape. The Kentucky troops here retrieved their honor, at least in the opinion of the General. The action happened on the morning of the 22d, and on the same day an order was issued, which contained the following words: " The General is exceed- ingly pleased with the behavior of the militia in the action of this morning. Although our loss is great, it is inconsiderable in comparison to the slaughter made among the savages. The resolution and firm and determined conduct of the militia, this morning, hasfully retrieved their character in the opinion of the General. He knows that they can and will fight." Col. Hardin, Major McMillan, Major Hall, and Brigade Major Progress-^Health — Population. 49 ■^rmsbj, were highly complimented — Major Wjllis and Major Fontaine killed. The Indian version of the affair was that they lost 15, and the Americans .500 men. The official report made to Governor St. tillair on the 4th of November, when the army arrived at Fort Washington, is, of th« regulars 73 killed, including Major Wyllis and Lieut. Frothingham. Of the militia 93 killed and 31 wounded, including one Major, (Fontaine,) 3 captains, (Thorp, Scott and McMurtry,) 2 lieuten- ants, (Clark and Rogers,) 4 ensigns, (Sweet, Bridges, Higgins and Thielkeld.) The number of Indians killed is put in the general orders at 100; the number of villages destroyed, ^ce. The General and Governor St. Clair regarded it as a severe chastisement, which would check the ferocit}'' of the tribes. The Indians considered it as a victory to them, and renewed their depredations upon the frontiers with violence. A year afterwards, a second army under command of St. Clair in person, more numerous and more formidable, issued from Fort Washington against the Miami Indians. At a less distance from head quarters, it met with a defeat infinitely more disastrous than Harmar's, and hastily retreated to the Fort. The details of this disaster, so discreditable to the American arms, and so fatal to our troops, are too well known to require a repetition here. The loss of her citizens in battle and the dismal prospect of future security, checked the increase of this place materially. The battle of the Rapids, in Aug. 1794, at last determined the preponderance of civilization over barbarism, by breaking the organization and spirits of the Indian, now resolved to submit to his fate. Commerce and improvement now began to reign. In 1795 there were 94 cabins, 10 frames, and 500 people; in 1S05 960; in 1810, 2540. In 1805, it received an incorporation as a village, in 1819 a charter as a city. We have therefore arrived at a period too recent for history. and where dry statistics will take its place. The first enquiry of the emigrant respecting his intended resi- dence, is in relation to its business, the second its health. 50 Buildings — Courts.

Various estimates are given for 1844, in the mean 63,000 for the city proper, and 12,000 for its depend- encies, on both shores. In 1840 the Germans numbered 14,163, or about one third of the white population. The number of buildings in 1815, was 1070; in 1826, 2,495; in 1840, 6,781. The estimate for the increase of the year 1843 is 1,000. The affairs of the city are managed by a council of 27; three from each of the nine wards. The Mayor is principally confined to judicial duties, relating to the good order of the town, and the collection of taxes and fines. His jurisdiction in criminal cases, under the laws of the State, is the same as a justice of the peace. There is a Superior Court for the county, with civil jurisdic- tion only, and in this respect it has concurrent authority with the Common Pleas. The Common Pleas for the county has civil and criminal jurisdiction.

Banks — Water — Gas. 5 1 There is a Chamber of Commerce, for the regulation of mer- cantile customs, and the amicable settlement of difficulties by arbitration. It is, however, seldom resorted to in the latter ca- pacity. At this time, there are but two Banks; the Life and Trust Company y and the Lafayette. The latter only has the privilege of issuing bills, and expires in 1845. There are seven Insurance Companies, that do a profitable business; and several agencies of foreign institutions. The business of exchange is carried on principally by brokers, who pay a heavy sum to the city for license to deal in money. Water is supplied from the river by engines capable of raising 21,000,000 of gallons in tv\elve hours 156 feet to the reservoirs on the hill. The works were constructed by Col. Davies, the late mayor, in 1819 ; but finally, in 1839, came into the possession of the city, which is now replacing the wooden logs first laid down, by durable iron pipes. In 1840, the average consumption was the enormous quantity of 360 gallons per tenant per day. The current expenses for 1843, were ^9,600; improvements, $9,946; interest on debt, ^27,697; receipts, $34,355; deficit, $12,750; estimate of receipts for 1844, $45,000. Cincinnati was without gas lights until the fall of 1842, and none of the streets were lighted until January, 1844, when Main, from the river to canal, was supplied with lamps. The company and the council meet with much difficulty in adjusting their affairs, which retards a measure considered elsewhere indispensable to the comfort of a city, and the safety of person and property. The Fire Department of Cincinnati is composed principally of young merchants and mechanics, with whom are interspersed many old and enterprising citizens. They own their engines, and receive no compensation for their services. They are as re- markable for their respectability and order, as for activity and courage. In February, (25th,) 1843, an uncommon explosion occurred, causing the death of eight of their number, under the most horrible circumstances. A large and well filled smoke- house, attached to the packing house of Messrs. Pugh and Alvord, corner of Canal and Walnut, took fire about sundown, burning with great fury. In order to stifle the fire when it should reach the main building, its doors and windows were closed, with the 52 Fire Bepaftment — Finances. exception of one or two on the lower story, through which the barrels of meat were being removed. The gas arising from the combustion of the bacon, was conducted through a narrow house into the pork house, which became filled in every part. As the flame touched this mixture, the whole ignited, and threw the materials of the building in every direction, upon the firemen and the crowd. The effect was precisely that of a large mine. The roof rose in the air, and sunk back on the ruins ; the walls fell outward on three of its sides, burj'ing many human beings beneath them. Firemen in Cincinnati are, after five years' duty, exempt from militia duty in time of peace, from road tax, and service as jury- men. The current expenses of the department, paid out of the city treasury, in 1843, amounted to ^14,590. There are fourteen companies (including protection and ladder companies) enrolling 1450 men, who work twenty engines, some of them manufactured in the city. They have — — feet of hose. The public cisterns are numerous, and water never fails. As- would be expected from such preparations, fires make but little progress after discovery. 'The permanent debt of the city of Cincinnati, according to the Exhibit made March 21, 1844, is as follows: DEBTS OWING BY THE CITY, Loan from Bank of the United States, for funding City Debt, bearing an interest of 5 per cent, payable in Cincinnati, principal redeemable Oc- tober 1, 1871, 100,000 00 Loan from Henry Toland,Philadelphia, for do., bearing an interest of 5 per cent., payable in New- York, princi- pal redeemable Nov. 1, 1885, 80,000 00 180,000 00 Bonds issued to the Cincinnati and Whitewater Canal Co., in payment of City's subscription to the capital stock of said Company, bearing in- terest of six per cent., payable irt Philadelphia, principal redeemable May 1, 1865, 400,000 00 Debts Owing hy the City.

There is another organization for this city, of superlative im- portance. In 1830-31, a thorough reformation of Common Schools in Cincinnati took place. There are now nine school houses of brick, with a capacity of at least 300 pupils each, whose cupolas rise in different parts of the city. They cost about i^ 100,000. There is a board of fourteen trustees and visitors, who manage the funds, appoint teachers, regulate their pay, and control the affairs of the institution or system. They are elected by the people. There is also a board of seven examiners, who grant certificates of qualification to teachers, after rigid examination. They are appointed by the Common Council. There arejburteeji school districts, besides the German schools and the orphan asylum school ; seventy-Jive teachers and assist- ant teachers ; 7,000 registered attendants ; 3,000 withdrawn ; daily attendance, year ending June 30, 1843, 3,140. Each has a male and female department, a male and female principal, and the requisite number of assistants. Pay of male principals, ^45 per month ; female do., §35 ; assistants, from §15 to §25. There is also a writing department, and an evening school system. Steamboat Building in 1843. 55 Total expenditure for the year, in tuition and contingent ex- penses, ig20j500.

JACKSON, Lately from London, respectfully informs the citizens of Cin- cinnati and vicinity, that he has taken a store on Broadway , between Columbia and Lower Market Streets, West side, two doors South of Holmes^ Hotel, For the purpose of Dying, Renovating, Repairing and Scouring ) Gentlemen's Wearing Apparel, upon an entirely new principle. I All clothes made to appear as when new, without the least in- > jury to the cloth; and if not done to satisfaction, no charge S will be made. \ From the long and practical experience which I have had ; during my apprenticeship in London, and in working for the I officers of the Horse Guards, and officers, of other regiments, ) I am enabled to dye SCARLET and other colors in a superior ) manner: also, to extract grease spots and stains of all descrip- ^ tions from military and other garments. ? Gentlemen composing Volunteer Companies in this city, ; who have military clothes out of order from the effects of grease ^ spots, stains, &c., are respectfully invited to call and give him ) a trial. > Gold, silver, and silk Lace, Epaulettes, &c., tarnished from > long use, can be restored to their original lustre and brightness. ) Ladies' wearing apparel, (including silk, satin and velvet \ dresses,) dyed in the most approved fashion, and in the latest ) style and finish. Carriage Cushions, Hangings, Pulpit Covers, > Sofa and Chair Covers, Window Hangings, Carpet and Hearth ^ Rugs cleansed, dressed, &c., and made to appear as when new. } Many gentlemen and ladies hesitate to have their garments, ^ carpets, &c., renovated or dyed, in consequence of the numer- > ous impostors that do not understand their business. The sub- ; scriber requires but one trial to prove the character of his work- ^ manship. From a strict attention to my business, I hope to > merit a share of public patronage. > ICF'All work entrusted to my care will be ready for delivery ^ in 48 hours after being left with the subscriber. > Cincinnati. 107 QUEEN CITY ) ^p ^ WALNUT STREET, Between Fifth and Sixth. The undersigned having opened the above establishment, for dyeing and finishing Silk and Woolen Goods, in all their varieties, and in a style which cannot be surpassed by any other ^ house in this city, he respectfully solicits a share of public patronage, confident that upon trial, his declarations will be realised by his patrons in the brilliancy and permanency of his colors, and the softness and beauty of the finish which he im- parts to his work. From the long practical experience which I have had in ^ Leeds, Yorkshire, England, in dyeing for the principal mer- ^ chants and manufacturers, and the satisfaction they have ex- ? pressed, there can be no doubt that my colors will be equal to ') any other, whether foreign or domestic — if they are not, no charge will be made. Merchants and others, wishing to have piece goods of any description, or sewing silk colored, can have the work done to ( their entire satisfaction, and at Eastern prices, by calling on ) the subscriber. Q^ Make sure of the name and location. Tickets are given for goods left at the establishment. J. H.

The continued increase of business I have met with has no pre- cedence, and is without parallel. I return my sincere thanks to the citizens of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Virginia, and sev- eral other States, who have sent their goods so many hundreds of miles ; they may rest assured, that justice will be done to all goods entrusted to my care. N. B. Make sure of the location. Tickets are given for goods left at this establishment. Watering or Waiving of Silks done equal to any East. Also, Scouring of Clothing, &c. — Carpets cleaned, in any quantity; — being fitted up expressly for such work, it is worth the attention of house-keepers and own- ers of steamboats ; the expense is trifling.

P.STRADER,^^ HAVE ESTABLISHED IN CINCINNATI, ^ On the corner of Broadway 8f Franklin Sts a Hotel for the accomodation ? of the sick. I It is well known, that transient persons sick in our city, and ^ such of our citizens as have not families to minister to them ; when afflicted, have deeply suffered for want of such provisions ^ , for their comfort as they are able to afford, or in justice to them- ? <| selves, can accept.

In less than a month, about seven thousand dollars in stock .] \ were subscribed. The whole numberof shares that have been ( taken is now . ( At a meeting of the society held in November, the Board of i Control were directed to procure an Equatorial Telescope of the ( best character. Prof. Mitchell was sent to Europe to examine \ the instruments of the best manufactures. On his return, the 'l Board, on hearing the result of his investigations, made an ar- l rangement with Messrs. Mertz & Mahler of JMunich, for an in- { strument to cost nine thousand dollars. There are few instru- ments in use whose power is equal to this. It is to be completed and forwarded to Cincinnati early in the summer of 1844. N. Longworth, Esq., has donated to the society a tract of four acres of land on one of the principal hills east of the city, since named, by the society, Mount Adams. A better site could not have been desired. It commands a good horizon and an exten- sive prospect in every direction, and the scenery is beautiful. The corner stone of the Observatory was laid by John Quincy Adams, on the 9th day of November, 1843. An act of incor- poration has been obtained from the Ohio Legislature. The bill is favorable, in a high degree, to the operations of the society. 11 184 Cincinnaii. It exempts (he tract af grouad given by Mr. Longworth, the Observatory buildings, and the instruments which may be em- ployed in the Observatory, from all taxation; it provides also that the ground and instruments shall never be made liable for any debt which may be contracted by the Board or the society; that they shall never be diverted from their original objects.— This charter was accepted by the society, March 20th, 1S44. At the same meeting, a new constitution was adopted under the charter. Officers and directors are to be elected annually. The Board are not to contract debts beyond the means of the society to pay promptly with money on hand, or debts whose payment may with certainty be relied on. The Board are to elect the Director of the Observatory, who is to conduct the observations, and is to give annually a course of lectures on Astronomical sub- jects. The members of the society and their families are enti- tled to the privileges of the Observatory. Arrangements are to be made by the Board, for the admission of others than mem- bers to the same privileges. The officers of the society, at present, consist oi JACOB BURNET, President , MILO G.

This Institution, the first of the kind in the United States, < was commenced in Columbus, February 3d, 1S36, by Dr, A. < Curtis. In 1837, he applied to the Legislature for a charter, ^ which was granted March 6th 1839. In 1841, it was removed < by the consent of the Legislature, to this city, where it is now \ located in the spacious building on 3d Street, east of Broadway, \ erected by the celebrated Mrs. Tiollope, and called the Bazaar. This edifice has been so fitted up that it aflbrds excellent accom- modations to a!! departments of the institution. There are delivered daily in the college, five and sometimes six lectures, on Anatomy, Physiolog)-, Surgery, Theory, and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, Materia J\Jedica and Pharma- ^ cy, Chemistry, Botany, &c., &c. The course of studies is very ) extensive, and the examinations are daily and thorough. It is ^ well provided with maps, charts, diagrams, &c., and other means ( of illustration, among which is the wonderful and no less useful , Manikin, perhaps ttie only one in the western country. "^ The Professors of this institution, reject the Lancet, blisters ^ and poisons, and every means and mode of directly reducing the ( vital energies of the system for the cure of disease; and they ^ recommend and practice the use of those means and processes <; — and those only which are calculated to aid the conservative \ power of the system to maintain its full dominion over the < organism. \ The advantages for the study of Anatomy are not surpassed { by those of any school in the west. Surgery is abriged by the i successful medication of most cases. I\Jany inij)ortant opera- \ tions are performed on the living subject, and the whole theory < and practice are carefully taught, and illustrated on the cadaver. ( Physiology is illustrnted with the ??fanikin, the most wonderful ; exhibition of art — a;; instrument by the aid of which an amount (' of knowledge that ii once required years to obtain, can be com- ) municated in as maiiv weeks. Patliology, diagnosis, and ther- ^ apeutics, will be illustrated abundantly in the college where, ^ hereafter, the practice will be constantly exhibited. The prin- '[ cipal articles of the Materia Medica, both crude and prepared, ; will be exhibited so constantly, as to enable the student to be- ^' come acquainted with the instruments he is to use in his profes- ^ sion. The chemical apparatus, the botanic garden, and a great < variety of maps, diagiams, paintings, &c., complete the means ; of illustration.

WOODWARD COLLEfiE. \ / This Institution originated in the enlightened benevolence of I ( William Woodward, one of the early settlers of this city. <; ; His first grant of land for its endowment was made on the 1st ( y of November, 1826, to Samuel Lewis and Osmond Cogswell, ^ ^ as perpetual trustees. The site of the College Buildings was a i^ ( subsequent donation, by the same gentlemen. It was first char- ( N tered as ''The Woodward Free Grammar School,'' which title ( \ was afterwards changerl to that of the Woodward High School. <; s In the winter of 1835-6, the Legislature conferred collegiate ^ \ powers on the Trustees, under the title of "The Woodward { < College of Cincinnati." \ ( Since it first went into operation, in 1831, the number of i ( pupils in attendance during each year has varied from 150 to ^ ? 230. Of the present number at the Institution, about one-sixth S ^ belong to the regular College Classes, The majority of the ^ ^ students, however, are engaged either in the study of Languages ^ ^ or Mathematics.

Front Street between Pike and Butler, main Steamboat Landing. PITTSBURGH. There is no spot in the Ohio country, about which a more intense historical interest may be thrown, than the city of Pittsburgh. The capture of the Virginia garrison in 1754- — the neighbor- ing defeat of Braddock in '55, and the horrible details of the fate of the prisoners who fell into the hands of the French and In- dians — the slaughter of 300 men on Grant's Hill in '58 — the arrival of Gen. Forbes — the contest between Virginia and Penn- sylvania with respect to boundary — Indian councils and treaties — early dangers and personal exploits of the whites — how many pages of thrilling story might be written! A general statement of these transactions will be seen in our historical summary, which precedes the body of the Directory. A full history of the events of which this little valley has been the scene, and those hills the witnesses, would constitute a Volume of thrilling interest. Take the relation oi James Smith, a guide to Braddock, taken prisoner early in the march. On the day of the surprise at the ford of the Monongahela, " about dusk the party returned to the Fort, driving before them twelve British regulars, stripped naked, and their faces painted black, an evidence that the unhappy wretches were devoted to death. Next came the Indians, displaying their bloody scalps, of which they had immense num- bers, diessed in the scarlet coats, sashes, and military hats of the officers and soldiers. Behind all came a train of baggage horses laden with piles of scalps, canteens, and all the accoutrements of British soldiers. The savages, frantic with joy, entered the Fort, dancing, yelling, brandishing their red tomallawks and waving their scalps in the air, while the great guns of the Fort replied to the incessant discharges of rifles from without. The yells of de- light and congratulation were scarcely over, when those of ven- 14 220 Pittsbzirgh, geance began. The prisoners were led out to the banks of the Allegheny, and, to the eternal disgrace of the French com- mandant, were burnt to death, one after another, with the most awful tortures. Each prisoner was tied to a stake, with his hands raised above his head, stripped naked, and surrounded by Indians; they would touch him with red hot irons, stick his body full of pine splinters, and set them on fire, drowning the shrieks of the victim in yells of delight, as they danced around him. His companions, in the mean time standing in a group near the stake, had a foretaste of what was in reserve for them.'^ The picketing which Ensign Ward commenced in the spring of 1754, was on the bank of the Monongahela, about half a square above Liberty street. The French demolished this embryo fort, and constructed Fort Du Quesne, directly at that point, arming it with 18 pieces of cannon. In 1759, the English General Stauri caused a more extensive work to be laid out, which was completed in 1767, occupying about seven acres at the point, being four or five times larger than Fort Du Quesne. This was called Fort Pitt, a work in its strength approaching the character of a permanent fortification. The only remains of that era, are a stone magazine of two stories, built by Col. Boquet outside the ditch of the Fort. It stands near Brewery Alley, about fifty feet west of Point street. In 17S5, it was nearly surrounded by additions, to render it a residence for citizens, causing the pile to represent at one view the change from military to civil occupation. Accounts differ materially in the number of settlers who established themselves at Fort Pitt, under the English and colonial rule, prior to the Revolution. Mr. Isaac Craig, born in Boquet's Magazine, or "redoubt," gives the number of houses at 25 to 30, in 1775, which would contain 180 to 200 persons. Others place the number of citizens at 200, in 1760, which does not seem probable, unless the transient Indian traders were included. The heirs of William Penn being tories, their property was confiscated by the State of Pennsylvania. Such parts as were not received by demise, descent, or purchase, and such tracts as were not sold or surveyed before the day of our national birth, were vested in the State or colony of Pennsylvania. But 5800 Pittsburgh. 221 acres at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela, had been surveyed, and the Penns^ retained the site of a future com- mercial metropolis. In 1783-4, they b'egan to sell. In the spring of '84, the city was ■surveyed. In 1786, it contained 100 houses, equal to 600 people, and the Pittsburgh Gazette was established. On the 9th of Jan- ^lary, 1796, there were 1395 inhabitants, by official enumeration, A mail to Philadelphia had been provided in September, 1786. which met a Virginia mail at Bedford. It was incorporated as a thorough April 22d, 1794; as a city March 18, 1816. The Indian wars were ended in 1794, and the citizens, already sensible that it was their policy to become manufacturers, pursued their plans with vigor. At first, the freight on goods from Balti- more, was 45 shillings per hundred; and they predicted that no improvement of transportation could bring heavy articles in con> petition with their shops. In com.merce, Mayndrd <§• Morrison ■carried on a traffic with the Illinois Indians, and Tarascon <§' Co, established an extensive shipyard there. In 1801, the schooner Amity, of 120 tons, was launched, and the Pittsburgh of 200; one destined for St. Thomas, the other for Philadelphia. In 1802, the brig Nanino, 250 tons; 1803 ship Louisiana of 300; and in 1804 the Western Trader, ^of 400; all of which found their way to the ocean and sailed over many seas. But the substantial prosperity of the place, then as now, lay in the arm of the mechanic. A statement made in 1807 proves, that there were thenybwr nail factories worked by hand, (no engines then,) one air furnace, and one glass house; 50 stores, 707 houses, and 4740 inhabitants. In 1813, 958 houses, which at the average of the other enumer- ations, would give 5,748 people. We now pass to the days of steam engines. In 1817, the glass houses had increased to 5, air furnaces to 4, number of houses to 1403, stores 109, people to 8,000, and eight steam engines manufactured 400 tons of nails. Fulton had crossed the mountains in 1811, and built the steamer "Orleans," of 400 tons, and seven or eight boats had already made their appearance. In March of 1817, the Washington steamboat of 400 tons, made a trip from Louisville to New Orleans and back in 45 days, which satisfied the citizens of the river country of a great fact, which 222" Pittsburgh, they had dared not admit, viz. that steam could contend suceess-- fuUy with the current of the western waters. Capt. H. M. Shreve had made an experimental trip from New Orleans to Shipping- port in 1S15, in one of D. French's boats, called the Enterprise, of forty-five tons. The run was made in 25 days, and, althougb the citizens- of Lotaisville gave Capt. S. a public dinner, to compli- ment the builder and himself, and to mark the event, it did not do away with the fears and prejudices of the trading community. Turn now to 184Q.

Commission houses 32 J foreign do. 7; united capital, ^1,241,116; 5 bloomeries, mak- ing 9,500 tons wrought iron, and consuming 26,871 tons fuel; 25 furnaces, which, with the bloomeries employ 658 bands.

To this should be added the value of shipping con- structed during the same time. With the naval constructions of the days of Tarascon, Fulton and French, we can contrast the number of boats built in 1843, being 25 in number, at an expense of ^217,350. To the year 1835 this place had taken the lead in steam-boat building, having turned out 173, and for that year 25. The city is brilliantly lighted with gas.

EVAN'S SAFETY GUARD, For Preventing Explosions of Steam Boilers^ The drawing represents a sectional view of the end of a Steam Boiler, with the Safety Guard attached, a — Is a common conical Safety Valve, the lever being bent in the form repre- sented in the drawing, having on its end a pulley, or sheave. b — Is a small metal pipe, made to pass up through the top of the Boiler, the lower end resting on and fitting tight to the flue, d. c — Is a spindle or shaft, the lower end made flat, with a counter sunk hole drilled in it, to fit on the small pivot cast on the inside and bottom of the pipe b. The upper end of this spindle passes through a brass cap at top of pipe, and has a small drum or sheave, e, secured to it, around which is wound the Pittsburgh. 305 chain g, one end passing over the pulley on the end of lever, (as shown in the drawing,) and fastened to the end of the rod to ? which the weight /, is secured, h — Is a small piece of Iron ( f fastened to the top edge of the fire-bed, having a round hole ( ( through it, to form a loose guide for the rod, to prevent the c ( weight from swinging about, and for the purpose of sustaining ) ( the weight when it descends so as to bring the collar i, in con- i ( tact with it o — Is a metallic alloy, that will melt at any temp- } ( erature designed ; in other words to melt at the temperature of ) / any given pressure of steam, when there is plenty of water in the > < Boilers; this alloy is poured into the pipe, until it covers the flat ^ ^ part of the spindle c, as shown at o, the oblique lines represent- ; [ ing the alloy occupying the enlarged part of the pipe, which is ^ ^ made oval, to prevent the alloy, or spindle, from turning, until ^ ) the metal is fairly melted. ^ THE OPERATION IS AS FOLLOWS: i ^ It is obvious that as long as the alloy o, remains unmelted, ^ the spindle c, cannot turn; therefore, the weight f, is kept sus- ^ pended, and the safety valve a, stands precisely as a common ^ safety x'^alve, prepared to open and allow any surplus steam to s escape, over and above that which the weight f, is intended to ^. retain in the Boilers. The alloy is arranged (for a high pres- <* sure engine) to melt at a temperature corresponding with a ^ pressure of steam of about 25 lbs., above the usual working ( pressure. In other words 25 lbs. above that which the weight ( f, is calculated to keep in the Boilers. Of course, the alloy / will never m-elt, unless there is a deficiency of water; and in / that case, it makes no difference what may be the pressure of ; steam at the time, because the alloy would receive its fusing ( temperature from the exposed flue. To melt the alloy, when y there is a plenty of water, it would be necessary to have the increased pressure of 25 lbs., which, however, can never accum- ulate, unless the valves should gum, or adhere to its seat. When the alloy is melted, the spindl«, being no longer prevented from turning the weight /, would descend until ihe collar i on the rod would rest on h. The whole of the weight would then be removed from the level, and the valve would open wide, allow- ing the whole of the steam to escape. 306 Pittsburgh. Trarellers, take notice, that alJ Boats proTidedi with tM» a-p- paratas, hare their s?m)w bills printed wiith a figure &f the Safety Guard. The card will not admit o-f the numerous certificates in favor of the apparatus — but merely mention that it has met the unqtta;lified approbation of s great number of scientific gentle- men, and upwai^s of fifty Steam Engine Manufacturers.

SULLIVAN, Collections throughout the State of Indiana promptly atten- ^ ded to LOUISVILLE, The surveyors who were with Gist, in 1751, no doubt went a5 far as the F*alls of the Ohio — James McBride, was on the Ohio at the mouth of the Kentucky in 1754, when he cut the letters of his name on a tree ; and it is very reasonable to suppose that an object so notorious, as the rapids of the Ohio, would have received a visit from a man of his enterprise — in 1767 John Findlay, and in 1769, Daniel Boone, explored Kentucky ; and in 1773 the Virginia Bounty men, descended the Ohio to the Falls, with a view of locating their warrants. Col. Rogers Clarke, however, made the first regular lodgement in Kentucky at Corn Island, at the head of the Falls, in the spring of 1778. He was in com- mand of 300 troops of the State of Virginia, raised for the dou- ble purpose of protecting the inhabitants of the valley, between the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny, then a frontier, and of form- ing settlements on the western lands. They cleared land, and planted corn on the Island. When the detachment went against the British Posts, in Illinois; there were six families left at the Island who immediately plant- ed themselves on the Kentucky shore, opposite the cornfields; a stockade was afterwards built; more families arrived the follow- ing spring, and also in the fall; and in the spring of 1780, seven stations were formed in the vicinity of Bear Grass Creek. 344 Louisville. A Fort was built on the Indiana side, called Fort Henrj, where Jefferaonville now stands, directly opposite First Street, in Louisville. This Fort was called by some writers by the name of Sleuben, or another one was built on the same side having that name, and it is difficult to determine which. SURVEY AND SETTLEMENT. In 1795, there was but one street occupied with buildings. It extended from the mouth of Bear Grass, along the bank, to about 13th Street, where it forked, one of the branches running into the interior. Mr. William Pope had made a survey, and plot for the city, in behalf of the State of Virginia, in the year 1780 — The State became possessed of the title by forfeiture, from John Connolly, a tory of the Revolution — He had located 2,000 acres, including Louisville and Portland, in the year 1773, and in December of the same year Charles DeWarrensdorf or Warrenstaff, received a Patent, for 8,000 acres on the river next below Con- nolly. Warrensdorf conveyed to Connolly and John Campbell, and in 1775 Connolly conveyed an undivided half of his first entry, of 2,000, to said Campbell. They had partition, and the upper and lower 1,000 acres was confiscated in 1780 by act of the Legislature. A re-survey of the City was afterwards made by William Pey- ton, and Daniel Sullivan, but the minutes and plans of this, and also of Pope's survey, are no more to be found. In 1812, Jared Brooks made a second re-survey which is the first re- corded plat of the City of Louisville. Daniel Brodhead start- the first store in Louisville, in the year 1783. When the Virginia Office for the sale of Western Lands was opened in Kentucky, in the fall of 1 779, they brought £40 per acre, in Virginia money, which was valued in Specie at a shilling to the pound. In 1840, this City contained a population of 31,310; 270 retail stores, with a capital of ^2,182,980; Manufactures in metals of all kinds, valued at ^109,900; Tobacco, ^10,857; Cordage 170,- 500; Leather and Leather Manufactures, gl 10,220; Furniture, ^98,000; Capital in Manufactures, ig864,006; Barrels of Flour, 42,000. 1842, 79,822 (( 1841, 61,483 (( 1840, 71,000 (( 1839, 58,238 (C 1838, 58,418 (I 345 Louisviite.

The wells are placed at the corners of the squares, and the inhabitants resort to them for water. The Gas lights of Louisville are so numerous, and so strong, that every portion of the lighted district, embracing the principal part of the City is fully, illuminated. Each light being equal to twelve Sperm Candles, and costing ^20 per jear. In the fall of 1843, Louisville contained 31,300 inhabitants, and it is rapidly increasing in population. Whilst it continued merely a commercial town, the increase in population was slow; but when, about four years ago, an impetus was given to manu- factures, population commenced increasing rapidly. The ground is nearly level, and the town is well laid off; the streets cross each other at right angles; three of them are 90 feet wide and the oth- ers are 60 feet. There are no natural barriers to prevent its exten- Bion in any direction from the river. Last season there were 346 Louisville. erected 437 buildings within the city limits, and it is estimated that during this year a greater number will be erected. MANUFACTURES.

The settlement of St. Louis, compared with the French estab- lishments east of the river, is modern; and of the era of the sta- tions on the upper Ohio. St. Charles, St. Johns, St. Ferdinand, Carondelet, (vide Pouche) Portage Des Sieux and Bon Homme soon started up, in various directions from the principal point. They were all peopled by those Frenchmen, who did not relish the English authority, to which they were subjected, in 1763 if they remained on the left bank of the Mississippi. The disturbances of the revolution, which soon followed, and the capture of the town of Kaskaskia, b)- a new power, the United States, served still further to disconcert the occupants of the French villages and the Eastern shore, and to drive them into the Spanish provinces. While St. Louis was still feeble, the Indians, who regarded the establishment as a fresh incursion, determined upon its destruction. Their design extended to all the dependent settlements, in which the British are said to have given them support. A general assault was received in 1779. A settlement, or suburb of St. Louis, was taken, and SO persons killed. But owing to the assistance of Gen. Clark, who still held Illinois, with his Virginia troops, the savages were repulsed in every other instance, and the white population maintained themselves on their new ground. St: Louis. S77 The early defences against Indians, were a small stockade, with stone curtains; and several circular towers, 20 feet in diameter, and 15 feet high, so arranged as to support each other, and sweep the ground now occupied by the city. These works were on the bank some distance below the ancient mounds. These mounds, the remains of a remote and not entirely savage people, show that commerce and agriculture existed among them in some degree, as with us their successors. They are found occupying the very three parts which are now the sites of commercial towns, and in those regions where the soil is richest, and in the highest state of mordern cultivation. Cincinnati, Chillicothe, Portsmouth and Marietta are built upon the ruins of ancient cities, and many more instances might be given. In 1810 St. Louis had 1400 inhabitants; one fifth Americans, and one fourth slaves. In that year six houses were built. There were twelve mercantile firms, and the imports were computed at ^250,000. St. Genevieve, established in 1774, soon became a rival of the town of St. Louis. In 17S3 a great flood of the Western Rivers occurred, and encroaching upon the town, alarmed the inhabitants for the future stability of their city. It was consequently removed one mile to the forks of the Gabaurie. Here also the " race of the mounds" had a city whose ruins were once distinctly visible. In 1810 this place was advancing more rapidly than St. Louis; erected more buildings; contained as many people, and imported ^150,000 dollars in goods. It was the point where lead from "Mine La Motte" and "Mine a Burton" took the river. In 1816 there were but 1500 people in the place. St. Charles at this time contained 300 persons, principally French boatmen or engages. NEW MADRID— SILVER. New Madrid, was laid out by Col. Morgan in 1786, on a beautiful bank at the concave part of the "Kentucky Bend." In 1810, its inhabitants had increased to the number of 400, and its future prospects were fair. The river, it is true, was apparently angry with the citizens, for disturbing the rural quiet of its shores, and in the course of twenty-five years, had swallowed up their Forts, and encroached several hundred yards upon the streets, and squares of the place. But this had in a measure teased, when 378 St. Louis. a new calamity completed the destruction of New Madrid — the earthquakes of 1811 and '12 seemed to concentrate their forces at this point, shook down the houses, sunk many portions of cul- tivated land, and a large portion of the town; opened lengthy fissures in the earth, forcing out mud, and pieces of mineral coal, raised the beds of lakes and swamps, and so disfigured this lovely spot, that its inhabitants could not regard it, any longer, as their home. EXPLORATIONS FOR SILVER. The Spaniards sought the New World, in the belief that it contained rich mines of gold, and silver; and the French, for its trade in furs. But when once located here the idea of finding precious metals took possession of the Frenchmen also; and be- fore Charlevoix descended the Mississippi, their researches, though they had neither discovered gold or silver, had unveiled beds of copper, on Lake Superior, and the Wisconsin, and Lead on the St. Francis, and the ''Marameg." In 1719 Lachou, a Frenchman and experimenter in minerals, pretended to recover a pound of silver from the rocks, at the mouth of the latter stream. He also found lead, at the same place. Mere Antonia, a Span- iard, as the agent of a mining company called the "Western Company," made explorations on the same waters, but produced nothing but lead, a mineral which had little value in the eyes of men in the expectation of beholding the glitter of gold. De La Renoudiere, a French oflBcer, succeeded Antonia, be- ing in command of a Brigade of miners from France: neither did his workmen discover anything but lead. The "Marameg Com- pany" was next formed, so strong was their faith in the mineral richness of the New World, whose central provinces had yielded the Spaniards so bountifully both silver and gold. One of the Directors of the new Company was in the country in 1721, re- newing the search after silver on the Marameg. They found veins of Lead, at two feet beneath the surface, and confidently ex- pected to see silver immediately under the lead. But their suc- cess was no better than their predecessors. In 1840, the city of St. Louis contained 16,000 people, 1 For- eign and 24 Domestic Commission Houses, with a capital of ^717,000; 214 Retail Stores, with a capital of ^3,875,050; Ma- chinery manufactured jgl 69,807; Precious and other Metals, SL Louts. 379 JB9,050; Bricks and Lime, ^122,500; Hats, Caps and Bonnets, ^77,600; Products of Mills, ^185,608; Capitalin Manufactures, '^674,250.; Barrels oi" Flour, 13,956. This City has Water Works^ tvhich partiaHy supply its inhabi- tants, and has in expectation a system of Gas Lights. ST. LOUIS IN 1843.-^HARBOR, The number of Steamboats belonging to the place in 1838 was SQ; in 1844, (January 1st) 100; with a custom house tonnage of 15,296. The tiymber of boats engaged in St. Louis trade in 1842-3 was 273. Arrivals in 1842, 2051 ; in 1843, 2057. The exports of 1841 in \vheat ground and unground, were 1,147,000 bushels-; for 1843, 1,350,000. Export of Tobacco A. D. 1843, 19,730 hogsheads and 707 boxes. Hogs killed in 1843, 197,500. Hides shipped, 120,000. Hemp, 17,000 tons. Lead, 609,186 pigs, and 3,624 boxes. In the late memorial of her citizens to Congress, the import and export trade of the city is estimated at 49,000,000 per annum. Her population is estimated at 30,000. Twenty-five boats belong- ing to the city were lost or seriously damaged in 1842-3 : Total loss ^511,500, and twelve boats owned elsewhere, but trading there suffered in boat and cargo losses in the same year amount- ing to ^257,000. The Insurance Companies of St. Louis paid for losses on merchandise during four years prior to 1841 the sum of ^1,036,060, The inhabitants of the City have made earnest appeals to Con- gress for aid in averting a threatened change in the channel of the River Mississippi, in front of the town. They represent, that there is a continual enlargement of the bed of the River on the Illinois side, and a constant filling on the Missouri shore, from the centre of the city downward^ and also, that many miles east- ward there are a series of Lakes, evidently the ancient channel of the Mississippi, these Lakes or Lagunes extend northward to the mouth of the Missouri. The head of one of these is near the present shore, a few miles below Alton, and the turbulent current of the Missouri entering here is fast removing the barrier between the present and the ancient channel. It is represented that the River will resume its old track in a few years, and re-enter the present bed many miles below St. Louis unless prevented by ar- tificial means. Extensive constructions are also demanded at the 24 380 Si, Louis. town to direct the water from the Illinois side, and return it to the ground occupied by the River when the City was established. The mischief here is said to have been caused, in part, by the presence of Boats attached to the Western Shore. The flow of the stream being nearly equally divided by an Island, had little preference for one channel over the other. But a collection of boats always occupying the Western pass, gave a preponderance to the flow of the eastern, which naturally began to enlarge and deepen, until it now discharges 3-11 more water than the other. Other and unknown causes probably have assisted in the change, an operation every where visible in the Lower Mississippi, a sunk- en log, the wreck of a Boat, or the clearing of a piece of shore, may give new direction to the River, undermining high banks and filling up deep pools. Expensive works are recommended, to resist the tendency of the stream at and above St. Louis, and force it along the quays or landing, which rest upon Lime Rock. These works were commenced in 1838, but the first appropria- tion was soon exhausted, no further sums were advanced, and the ever active current which it has intended to restrain, overcame the obstructions raised against its domain and continued its wan- ton course over the ruins. The Revenue of St. Louis for the year 1843, jgl 30,000 For the year 1844, according to the best calculation, 170,000 The Debt of St. Louis is now about 860,000 St. Louis. 379 ;T. L@m AUCTIONEERS.

The city of Memphis is situated on what is termed the fourth Chickasaw bluffs upon the Mississippi River, in latitude 35* 11' in the south western extremity of the State of Tennessee, at the distance of 600 miles below Louisville, and about 400 above Vicks- Ijurg. This place has many decided advantages; the location is very fine indeed, it being upon tlie highest ridge of land and from one hundred to one hundred and fifty feet above high water mark, commanding an extensive view of the river above and below. Its appearance from which at a distance is very imposing. The cli- mate is often eulogised as being preferable to any other in the U. States, neither extreme being intense. It was first settled in tlie year 1820, but increased in pop- ulation slowly until the years 1840-1, since which time it has probably more than doubled, and its increase still goes on. It has already attained much importance from its population and business. The spirit of improvement is evidently here. At the first glance ^t is readily perceived that the city is of recent growth. The pres- ent population does not vary much from 7;000. Memphis contains the following pu'blie buildings, — 5 churches, viz.; 1 Catholic, 1 Baptist, 1 Methodist, 1 Presbyterian, and I Episcopal; a market; 4 hotels — three large and new. The Gayoso House is considered the finest building in the place. One bank and two branch banks. The Farmers' and Merchants' bank is a very Ijeautiful structure, and possesses a capital of ^600,000» There 402 Memphis^ is also a hospital ;^ and the United State* Government fkave- eatafe- I'ished an arsenal which will add somewhat to the place. One In- surance Company has been recently incorporated. This place has« been talked of with reference to its eligibleness as a poiat for ship bailding, the country around producing a great aband-anee of the- oak, suitable for that purpose.. The soil in the vicinity of Memphis^ and for about fifty miles- surroundings is undoubtedly equal if not superior to any in the- state, e^cially for the caltiration of eottonv and tobacco. But little tobacco, however, is raised except what is required for the consumption of its inhabitants. Cotton is tbestaple production of the country, and from this point is shipped nearly one tenth of the whole amount sent to New Orleans ;. 80,000 bales being shipped annually. Real estate is consitJered low here in proportion to the rents paid for buildings; good stores renting from ^^500 to $l,OOQi' per annum. It seems almost impossible to build fast enough to supply the demand. Memphis is aibout 245 miles from Nashville, the eapitol of the state, the road to which passes ihrough the following places — SommervilJe, Bolivar, Jackson, Huntingdon, Camden, Waverly and Charlotte, all of which are county towns* A railroad is contemplated from this city to Lagrange, a dis- tance of 50 miles, upon which ^432,000 have already been expen- ded. There is also a branch of this road from Moscaw to Som- merville, whieh is graded. The revenue of this city is estimated at ^20,000 per aanun);,, ■which is about equal to the expenditure.

This city lies upon the East bank of the Mississippi river, in North latitude SSi degrees, 500 miles below the mouth of the Ohio, and 400 miles above New Orleans. It is situated upon a hill, the highest elevation of which is 200 feet above high water mark. It was incorporated a town in March, 1825, and a city in 1836. A large amount of business is yearly transacted here. The chief production of the country is cotton; an average of 75,000 bales per annum is shipped to New Orleans. Many improvements, long needed for the city, have recently been commenced, with a spirit which augurs well for their further advancement. The city numbers five churches, viz : one Episcopal, one Pres- byterian, one Methodist, one Baptist, and one Roman Catholic. This being the county seat, there is a Court House and Jail here, a city Hospital, four Hotels, one Foundery, and two very fine brick Banking Institutions, neither of which are now doing busi- ness ; twelve Schools are in operation, in a flourishing condition, averaging thirty scholars each ; one of them is a Free School, established upon the Common School system of the New England Slates, and the only one of that character in the Southern country. The land in the vicinity of Vicksburg is of a black loamy nature, generally undulating, extremely rich and fertile, and well adapted for the growing of most kinds of grain, as well as tobacco, though little attention is paid to its production. Real estate is at present low, but steadily advancing in value. The population is estimated at 3,500. A Railroad is completed Vickshurg. 413 from Vicksburg to Jackson, the seat of government for Misslasippi, a distance of fifty miles, intersecting the Nashville road ; also, one leading to Benton, the county seat of Yazoo county ; also, one leading to Port Gibson, Claiborne county seat, thus extending on to Natchez. The water in the channel, opposite the city, is ascertained to be from 90 to 300 feet deep, and is supposed to be of sufficient depth at any time to be navigated by ships of the largest class. If such is the case, a Naval Depot may at some time be established here. The revenue of Vicksburg is about ^26,000 per annum, and the expenditures for the year ending April Ist, 1844, is about ^15,000. The present debt of the city is ^40,000, which is rapidly decreasing, as is shown by the excess of revenue over the expenditure. 414 Vickshnrg, m©^wm la fM^^^^ AUCTIONEEES. WM. HAY & CO.

Monsieur Bienville concluded, at first view, that this place would be as valuable for trade, as it was beautiful to the eye. The Natchez Indians were in occupation ; but this did not hinder him from immediately laying out a Fort, and proceeding with its construction. This was in 1719. The great Chief of the Natchez, being absolute, and not prefering the village of his nation, had his abode in the interior, and the town was not well filled with his people. But Fort Rosalie was, in the eyes of the Natchez, a bold in- trusion, for which they finally determined to retaliate. In the Fall of 1721, concessions or grants had enclosed the Indian vil- lage entirely ; and plantations of cotton, indigo and tobacco were in cultivation on every side. A considerable number of families had collected around the Fort, attracted by the beauty of the place, the delicious nature of the climate, and the luxuriance of the soil. But, according to the pious traveler Charleroix, they were sadly out of order in their morals. He says, " I soon discovered the effects of the want of sacrament, an indifference to religion. There were even many who did not profit by my presence, to put their affairs of conscience in order. Great numbers appeared, however, to obtain the sanction of the church to their matrimonial engagements ; they had for years been living together without scruple, under an arrangement entered into before the command- ant and the principal civil officer, alleging, by way of excuse, the necessity of peopling the country, and the absence of a priest. When I told them, they should, for so important a matter, have Natchez. 42 S gone to New Orleans, thej replied, that they were unable to bear the expense, or to lose the time. Considering the evil as already done, and the question was now Only to remedy it, I performed the ceremony as desired. Such as presented themselves, I con- fessed ; but the number was not as large as I had hoped." Leaving his blessing with the villages, he journeyed onward towards the gulf; and at Cannes Brule, heard the first vespers, and saw the first cross since he had left the River Illinois. He says that the " Point Coupe,'' 5 leagues below Red River, waff made by the Canadians, who, in high water, dug a small canal across the neck of a 14 league bend. A league is the 30th part of a degree. The Natchez Indians having engaged their confeder- ates, planned a terrible revenge. Like Pontiac, 40 years after, they meditated a massacre of the French, at every post on the same day, and each party, that there should be no uncertainty in the day of attack, as it departed from the council towards its par- ticular garrison, took a bundle of sticks, equal in number to each of the other bundles, and denoting the days to intervene before the assault, one to be drawn each day. A woman among the Natchez stealthily drew out some of the rods from their bundle, which caused a premature attack. The settlements at Yazoo and Natchez were extirpated, and those who were enabled to flee arrived at the other garrisons be- fore the day when the bundlesoftheothernations were exhausted. The attack was everywhere made, but in no other cases did it succeed. Perier was the successor to Bienville. His arrangements for avenging the loss of his people were perfected, and he moved against the Natchez fort with his own troops and 700 Choctaws. Although he had seven cannon the Indians were so well fortified that they resisted the attack one month and then capitulated. The prisoners were restored, and hostages for their future behavior de- livered to the French. The Natchez, however, did not relin- quish their designs; and in 1731 Monsieur Perier organized an- other expedition against them, which was destined for a fort where they had retreated for up the Black River, a branch of the Red River. Here mortara were placed, parallels laid out, trenches opened, batteries constructed, as in the approach to a regular work. At the expiration of 25 days, offers of capitulation were 424 Natchez. made, Perier had determined upon their extermination. He first required the delivery of all prisoners and negroes, and then, these being given up, he demanded an unconditional surrender. A few of the Natchez escaped across a ba3'ou, but the principal warriors of the tribe became prisoners of war by capitulation. At another fortress on Red River, an officer by the name of St. Denys arrived with a force and captured 200 Indians, of the same nation. All the prisoners were made slaves and the tribe of the Natchez was blotted out. The ruins of Fort Rosalie were visible in 1823, and the city contained 700 people. The City now presents a most beautiful appearance, the houses being in general finely and tastefully constructed, and the situation being very elligible they appear to the best advantage; the upper part of the place is 150 feet above high water mark. The Public Buildings are as follows; 4 Churches, viz, 1 Roman Catholic; 1 Episcopal; 1 Methodist; 1 Presbyterian; all of them neat and durable; 3 Hotels 4 Banking Institutions, buildings that greatly ^ornament the city; a Hospital; a very fine Masonic Hall, where the children of Masons free of charge, and those who are enabled to pay, are educated; there are Five efficient Fire Companies; the Court House and Jail both do credit to the place; the Market House is one of the best to be found in any of the Southern Cit- ies; the Schools, of which there are several, are in a very pros- perous condition. The present business of Natchez, is quite extensive, and the future prospects flattering. The population is estimated at about 6,000. The country around is generally broken, but rich and highly cultivated. Cotton is the staple product, the average amount shipped to New Orleans isN50,000 bales annually. The climate aud soil are admirably adapted for the culture of the Grape, but this branch of agriculture has not as yet attracted much attention in this part of the country. This place is the termination of a Rail Road which is doing a fair amount of business, the roads generall}^, leading from here are good, the distance from Natchez to Jackson, the capital of the State is 175 miles. The Revenue of this place during the present year is about {^25,000 the expenditures ^14,000; the City Debt ^20,000. Natchez. 425 □ lMl^T©[H]il ^^^^MMm^ "^^Wl^^ AUCTIONEEE. STOCKMAN & TAINTOR.

NEW-ORLEANS, WXM^^'^O'* Much of the early history of this city is comprised in our pre- iminary sketch, which embraces that of Louisiana. From the year 1717, New-Orleans has been the central and controlling point of a vast region ; the theatre of important events ; a city whose political and commercial regulations have been felt to the remotest sources of the waters that flow past its wharves. The town was located on a neck of low land, between lake Borgne and the river, as the engineers of Governor Bienville said, to place it beyond the reach of a naval enemy, and, at the same time, have feasible communications with the sea and the interior. Mousiana, the father of Charleroix, who spent the first half of the year 1732 at the place, does not at all approve of the selection of the engineer, and gives his reasons at length. He much prefers a " hill," on the other side of the river, about twenty leagues from the sea; near which the "Chaounchas," a tribe of Indians driven from New-Orleans, were then sitting. This tribe held the remains of their dead in such esteem, that, in their re- moval, the bones of their ancestors were uncovered, and borne to their new village. The worthy Padre, does not give a very flattering account of the germ of one of the great cities of Christendom; and concludes that it will not become a place of much consequence. He pre- fers the town of Natchez as a capital and commercial point. At New Orleans he found two or three respectable houses, a wooden Magazine, and a few miserable barracks. Two hundred persons New Orleans* 431 had arrived there to build up a City, who are encamped on the Shore, and had not thought of protecting themselves against the weather or the sun. They are contentedly waiting for the En- gineer to furnish his plan of the town. At length he offers them a very beautiful plat of Streets, Buildings and Wharves; and departs upon other duties. From the town to the Sea, there were but few "concessions" in the day of Charleroix; because the grounds were subject to the floods of the River. The Colony was now under the guidance of the "Company of the West," in which the noted Financier John Law, acted a con- spicuous part. For himself, there was reserved a territory of four Leagues on the Arkansas, and several Germans and French were engaged to occupy it under him, as the Grand Duke. Corat's Grant had been resigned in 1717; and Law's Company received a Charter at once. About 2000 of his subjects of the Western Duchy, embarked for America, and in the meantime he failed, in all his schemes of wealth and grandeur, and the deserted Germans were dispersed and lost — This was in 1720 — Louisiana did not flourish. The Crown lent the Company money, and expended much for troops and military preparations against the Indians. In 1731 the Government had a judgment of 20,000,000 of francs against them, and to cancel, it received a re-conveyance of the entire re- gion. Du Fratre, who died in the country; says that in 1736, there were only four feeble villages in existence. In 1749 the popula- tion of the Mississippi, was reckoned at 7,000. In the year 1778, New Orleans had become a city in appearance and density. Insomuch that a fire which broke out consumed an im- mense amount of property. It was at this moment the generosity of the French character shone forth in its brilliancy and goodness. Those who had abandoned the place in 1765, and preferring their own laws and customs to those of the Spanish, had retired to St. Domingo, a French Colony, were applied to by Governor Car- ondelet for assistance, under the pressure of this great calamity. Not only provisions and goods for the needy were sent, but a frigate loaded with timber to re-place the buildings consumed by the fire. The price of flour in 1787 was ^22 per barrel, and as late as 1805, cheese was sold at 37§ cents. 432 New Orleans. COMMERCE. Our first statement respecting the trade in produce between N. Orleans and the upper country is in the year 1746, when it is said that the amount of flour which descended the river was 800,000 pounds — equal to 4030 barrels. In 1817 the commerce of the Ohio was carried on in 20 barges of 100 tons each, making one trip yearly, and if fully loaded they deposited in New Orleans, 2,000 tons of merchandize. The value of the return trade must have been much greater than that of the descending tonnage, but we cannot give an opinion of its amount. Thirty-three years afterwards, in 1841-2, the property imported from abroad into New Orleans is given upon good authority at ^35,764,477. In December, 1843, there were 600 ships in the port of New Orleans at one time, taking freight for all parts of the world. From this fact and others, the exports for that year are estimated at ^50,000,000. If there is a balance or equilibrium in trade at this point, this 50,000,000 of exports represents an equal sum of return property called imports. But it is generally thought that there is a differ- ence against the valley, and therefore that 50,000,000 is not large enough to express the amount of imported goods.

Retail Stores 1881, with a capital of ^11,018,225. Thirty-two lumber yards; capital ^67,800. Bricks and lime made in value, ^102,000. Cotton manufactures, sgl8,000. Manufactured tobacco, ^100,000. Six furnaces with a capital of ^355,000. Refined sugar, ^700,000. Product of mills, 1^70,000. Capital invested in all kinds of manufactures, §1,774,200. WATER WORKS. A charter was granted in the year 1833 to a company invested with banking privileges, for the construction of water works for the purpose of supplying the city with water from the Mississippi river. The reservoir for the water was constructed on an artifi- cial mound, the earth being obtained from the botl.om of the river, amounting to": 70,000 cubic yards. The reservoir is 250 feet square, and divided into four compartments, measuring each US New Orleans. 433 feet in the clear. The walls and bottom forming the reservoir are built of brick, and plastered with hydraulic cement This reser- voir is supplied with water from the Mississippi river, by plunge pumps, worked by a condensing engine, acting on Bolton & Watt's plan. COTTON PRESSES. There are two cotton presses in the city, one designated the Levee Steam Cotton Press; the other the New Orlea7is Cotton Press; — the former is a plain, neat structure, and is capable of pressing 200,000 bales of cotton per annum. The cost for the construction of it was ^500,000. The Orleans press is the largest one in the world. The ground occupied by the establishment is 632 feet in length by 308 in breadth, and is nearly covered by buildings. The whole was completed in 1835 at a cost, including the site, of ^753,558. This establishment can store 25,000 bales of cotton, and compresses, upon an average, 150,000 bales per annum. 434 New Orleans. m'§Mi°©mM.ihm '□ ^>^ ARCHITECT. JAMES H. DAKIN, ARCHITECT AUCTIONEERS.

RICH'S (Late Robertson ^ Rich,) IMPROVED PATENT SALAMANDER IhW WARRANTED DRY AS WELL AS FIRE PROOF. ♦♦ Report of Committee on the Trial of this Safe. New-York, August 30, 1842. We, the undersigned, attended by request, a trial by fire, of Robertson & Rich's Salamander Safe and Scott's Patent Asbes- tos Safe. The trial was made in a furnace of great power, built for the purpose, at the foot of Wall street on the 26th inst. The principal object was to test the fire proof qualities of Robertson i & Rich's Safe. The Safes were placed in the furnace and the ^ fire lighted at a quarter to 11, A. M., and continued till 4 P. M. ^ On opening the furnance at that time, Scott's Safe, with its con- S tents was found to be completely destroyed, but Robertson & < Rich's Safe to be in perfect order: at 4^ the iron of the lower ^ part of Robertson & Rich's Safe was discovered to have melted \ oflT, leaving the Salamander preparation firm and entire : in re- \ moving the Safe before the fire was entirely extinguished, the ■i bottom was accidentally forced off by its adhering to the bars of ' the furnance, thereby exposing the inner case to the fire; part of ( the papers were consequently burned and the remainder slightly 522 New Orleans. < i ■ ' ^ scorched. The heat was so intense that the wrought iron frame, 5 the cast iron wheels of the safe, and even the bricks of the fur- ^ nace melted, yet the greater part of the mahogany case remains '^ sound and uninjured. During the five hours the fire was burn- ^ ing, four and a half loads of Pine Wood, and 96 bushels of Char- <^ coal were consumed. ^ The preservation of any of the papers in such an intense heat ^ for five hours, is conclusive evidence that this safe would be proof ( have escaped unharmed from any house burning I ever personally ) ( witnesssed, even in the most exposed situation. \ { JOHN G. WINTER. \ t } (From Hunt's Merchants' Magazine for May, 1843.^ \ \ FIRE PROOF SAFES.— THE SALAMANDER, i ^ The universal destruction of Safes in the great fire of 1835, < ^ undoubtedly induced a prejudice against those then in use, and \ ': space of about ten minutes, when it was found to have resisted ) ^ the fire so effectually that we laid our naked hand on it, feeling I I only a gentle warmth. On turning it over, the part next to the > : fire did not retain heat enough to burn a card or light a paper ; \ i while a bar of iron in the forge about half the time was heated to ^ J^ whiteness. This experiment, simple as it is, must convince; J every one who may witness it, as it did us at the time, that a Safe \ \ fitted with three or four inches of this material could not be heated ? ; through at the burning of a store in any possible situation in S ; which it might be placed. I \ Some of our merchants have witnessed similar experiments,) i and have expressed their entire confidence as to the security of^ i this safe. With these facts in view, we cordially commend the ^ ) article to the attention of merchants and bankers, and to the > I State and County authorities throughout the Union, who desire \ r to render secure the valuable papers committed to their charge. ? '• The Improved Salamander Safes are made of stout ) ( wrought bar and plate iron, riveted together in the most substan-^ ; tial manner, and lined with a chemical preparation, which is a > ^non-conductor of heat and cannot be destroyed by fire. The;> ^ Locks are of a superior construction, being guarded by thief, ^ ) detectors, which renders it impossible to pick them. The supe-> S' riority of these Safes, over all others now in use, consists in ) ? their not being only Fire Proof, bid free from dampness, that> '- being the objection to all other Salamander Safes. The subscri- ) ^ ber invites any person wishing to purchase, who has doubts of > ; their being Fire Proof, to accompany him to the manufactory in ? ^ this City, where he will convince even the most incredulous, ^ ) that perfect reliance may be placed on them. ; ; The above Safes are finished in the neatest manner, will be^ ^ made to order of any size and pattern and fitted to contain ; ; Plate, Jewelry, Sfc.
