PREFACE. 
 
 In the preparation of this Gazetteer and the Map, which has occupied 
 over three years, the principal object has been to present a work as 
 complete and comprehensive as the present state of statistical and geo- 
 graphical knowledge would admit, within the smallest practical size. To 
 accomplish this design, and make it eminently practical as a book of 
 reference, the principal places only are described in detail, and the de- 
 scriptions are confined for the most part to matters which are permanent 
 in their character. 
 
 The great inconvenience attending large and expensive gazetteers, in 
 a country undergoing such vast changes and improvements as ours, is, 
 that much of the detail becomes in a very few years obsolete and use- 
 less. The author has therefore preferred to substitute a larger number of 
 places, and other matter of a less ephemeral nature. And the Gazetteer 
 is offered as embracing several thousand more names than is to be found 
 in any other single work of a similar character. Besides the usual places, 
 all the post offices in the United States are given from the official list of 
 the Post Master General up to the year 1840. 
 
 Although intended to accompany the Map of the United States, yet 
 the Map and Book are not necessarily connected — each being complete in 
 itself, with the single exception of a few reference initial letters of towns 
 and villages inserted on the map, where it was impossible conveniently to 
 give the names in full. The whole work taken separately, or with the 
 Map, is particularly calculated for business men, as a complete geographi- 
 cal reference. 
 
 To obtain the latest information, the following letter was extensively 
 circulated throughout the country, particularly in the western and 
 southwestern sections. 
 
 Dear Sir, 
 
 Having been engaged about two years in the preparation of a 
 large Map of the United States, the engraving of which is nearly fin- 
 ished, to be accompanied with a complete Reference Gazetteer;— and 
 desirous of making them as perfect as the latest geographical knowledge 
 of our country will admit, especially in reference to the increasing and 
 flourishing states of the west and southwest :— I respectfully request 
 your answer to the following questions, or either of them : 
 
 I. Have any new counties been created in your neighbourhood or 
 
4 PREFACE. 
 
 State within the last two years ?— if so, give the names, boundaries, and 
 population. 
 
 2. What new towns, or townships — their situation, &c. ? 
 
 3. What new villages — their situation, population, and distances from 
 other neighboring villages? 
 
 4. What canals and railroads, or other internal improvements, have 
 been projected or completed within the same period — with the places 
 connected thereby ? 
 
 5. What new public or stage road has been established ? — and please 
 state, generally, such other information as may be interesting, concern- 
 ing your section of the country. 
 
 Reasonable compensation, to be agreed upon, will be cheerfully given 
 for manuscript and other original documents and surveys, that may con 
 tribute to the perfection of the Map and Gazetteer. 
 
 Very respectfully yours, &c., 
 
 William Chapin. 
 
 This circular elicited many answers from gentlemen of intelligence 
 in various sections of the country, with much local information in man- 
 uscript and otherwise, for which the author owes many obligations. 
 
 It is not expected that this work is free from errors. It would be im- 
 possible from its difficult and complicated nature to be perfect. But no 
 labor nor expense has been spared to make it as correct and acceptable 
 to the public as possible.

GENERAL VIEW OF THE UNITED STATES. 
 
 As many of the principal details will be presented in the descriptions of the seve- 
 ral states, in their appropriate places, it is not thought necessary to give them here. 
 This article will therefore be confined to a more general view of the United States 
 and the territories, and to such particulars as cannot be so well embraced in any 
 other place. 
 
 BOlJJND ARIES AIND EXTENT. 
 
 The territory of the United States is bounded en the N. by the British and Rus- 
 sian possessions ; on the E. by N. Brunswick and the Atlantic Ocean; on the S. b^ 
 Ihe Gulf of Mexico; and on the W. by the Pacific Ocean. Its general length E. 
 and W. is 3000 miles ; its breadth N. and S., from the Lake of the Woods to the S. 
 point of Florida, is 1700 miles. Commencing at Passamaquoddy Bay, and tra« 
 cing the whole outline of the U. S., we have the following result: —

 HISTORY. 
 
 The settlement and early history of each state are given in their respective places. 
 The first settlement by the English was in 1607. From that period to 1775, the col- 
 oniea were under the government of Great Britain. On the 4th of July, 1776, the 
 American Congress at Phihidolphia, composed of the Delegates from the 13 original 
 Bt^tes, declared their Independence. These states united under articles of Confed- 
 eration in Nov. 15, 1777, and continued under them through the struggle of the 
 Revolution, and until the year 1787, when the present Constitution (since amended) 
 was adopted. The 13 states which adopted the Constitution were New Hampshire, 
 Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 
 Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, N. Carolina, S. Carolina, and Georgia. 
 
 The original cause of the disaffection of the colonies towards Great Britain was 
 her attempt to ta.x them without their consent or representation in the Britisli Parlia- 
 ment. Tlie effects were more openly manifested, on the imposition of the Stamp 
 Act in 1765, and in the duty on tea. The Colonists determined to resist the importa- 
 tion of teas under this duty. Accordingly, a number of persons collected together, 
 and proceeded to some ships that lay at the Boston wharves, and threw their car- 
 goes of tea overboard. The British ministry determined to punish this aggression 
 by shutting up the port of Boston, and garrisoning the town with troops. The 
 exasperation of the people on this intelligence led to a Congress of delegates of 
 the Colonies, who assembled in Philadelphia to consider the best means of redress. 
 At this momentous period the battle of Lexington was fought between the British 
 troops and the undisciplined and half-armed inhabitants, near Boston. This was 
 the first blood that was spilt — and the effect throughout the country was electric. 
 It was a signed for a general burst of indignation, and a determination to resist. 
 The war of the Revolution followed, which gave birth to a nation, and established

^ GENERAL VIEW OF THE 
 
 those principles of civil and religious liberty which elevate man to the just standard 
 of his natural rights. After a long and arduous struggle, in which every privation, 
 hardship, and sacrifice, was endured by the American armies and people, and the 
 wisdom, fortitude, and perseverance of Washington were so signally exemplified ; — 
 the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, put an end to the war. 
 In 1783, a treaty of peace was signed, by which Great Britain acknowledged the 
 Independence of the United States. 
 
 SURFACE AND CLIMATE. 
 
 The vast territory of the U. States presents a great variety of surface, with two 
 
 freat ranges of mountains stretching generally in a northeasterly and southwesterly 
 irection, and dividing the country mto three unequal divisions. The Rocky Moun- 
 tains are the highest, and connect with the Cordilleras Range of Mexico; commen- 
 cing at the Isthmus of Darien, ■fnd reaching to the Arctic Ocean, a distance of 5000 
 miles. The other principal raajge is the Appalachian, including the Alleghany 
 Mountains, which reaches along the Atlantic states about 1800 miles. The lesser 
 ranges are tlie Green, Ozark, and White Mountains. 
 
 There is a great diversity in the climate, from the extreme cold of the northern 
 winters to the bland and mild perpetual summers of the south. There are also great 
 and sudden changes in the temperature of the weather. The climate has much im- 
 proved since the early settlement of the country, and will probably undergo still further 
 changes for the better. But it is generally healthy, except in some of the southern 
 states in the summer months. 
 
 SOIL AND PRODUCTIONS. 
 
 While the country presents the greatest variety of soil, it abounds in vast tracts 
 of inexhaustible fertility, particularly in the south and west. The Atlantic border, 
 and the N. England states generally, are in a high state of cultivation, but are less 
 productive in grain than the country west of the AUeghanies. More particular de- 
 scriptions of the soil are given under the heads of the respective states. 
 
 The productions of the country are almost as various as the soil. The great sta- 
 ples are cotton, wheat, rye, Indian corn, sugar, rice, tobacco, and wool. All kinds 
 of vegetables, and nearly every description of fruits, are produced in the greatest 
 abundance. There is perhaps no country in the world so bountifully blessed by the 
 Creator with the necessaries of life, and the means of universal happiness. 
 
 LAKES, RIVERS, BAYS, &c. 
 
 The principal lakes are Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, Ontario, St. Clair, and 
 Champlain. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Columbia or Ore- 
 gon, Red, Kanzas, Lewis, Clark, Yellow Stone, Canadian, Ohio, Tennessee, Ala- 
 bama, Appalachicola, Connecticut, Des Moines, Cumberland, James, Gt. Pedee, 
 Illinois, Multomah, Mobile, Susquehannah, Platte, Wabash, St. Peters, Washita, 
 White, Tombigbee, Big Horn, St. Johns, Sabine, Roanoke, Potomac, Penobscot, 
 Pearl, Osage, Kentucky, Hudson, Wisconsin, Green, Gt. Kannawha, Delaware, 
 Coosa, Chattahooche, Cape Fear, Alleghany, and Altantiaha. 
 
 The principal bays are the Chesapeake, Delaware, New York, Massachusetts, 
 Cape Cod, Narragansett, Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Buzzards, Mobile, Pensacola, 
 Tampa, and Appalachicola. 
 
 The principal sounds are Long Island, Albemarle, and Pamlico. 
 
 The most prominent capes are Cape Ann, Cod, May, Henlopen, Charles, Henry, 
 Hatteras, Look Out, Fear, Canaveral, Florida, Sable, St. Bias, Sandy Hook, and 
 Montauk Pt. 
 
 MINERALS. 
 
 Gold is found in N. Carolina, S. Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia. Iron abounds 
 in nearly every state in the Union. Extensive coal beds are found abundantly in 
 several states, but are worked chiefly in Pennsylvania. Lead is found in great abun- 
 dance; the greatest supply of which is received from the mines of Missouri. Salt 
 sprfcigs and lakes abound in various parts of the U. States. Those in N. York 
 produce annually a large supply of salt.

 MANUFACTURES. 
 
 The value of manufactures of the U. States, in 1810, was estimated at S172,762, 
 876. In 1836, the value is estimated at $600,000,000. In Massachusetts alone at 
 $100,000,000. The great depression of the times has materially diminished this 
 amount for the year 1837. Two thirds of the clothing worn by the agricuUural 
 population in the Eastern, Middle, and Western States, are the products of domestic 
 manufacture. The greatest amount of any single manufacture is from cotton, which 
 reached in 1835 to near 100 millions of pounds ; — valued at 48 millions of dollars. 
 85 millions of dollars are invested in cotton manufactures — and it is estimated that 
 the capital vested in all the manufactories of the U. States is about 1000 millions of 
 dollars. 
 
 COMMERCE. 
 
 The commerce of the U. States is second only to that of Great Britain. The fol- 
 lowing table of the value of imports and exports for several periods, exhibits th« 
 increase since 1790.

 $95,183,199 were domestic, and $21,722,861 foreign goods. The exports were less 
 than the preceding year, by $11,733,481 domestic, and $23,499 foreign. 
 
 The total amount of American tonnage in 1836, was 1,369,580 — of which 404,814 
 belonged to N. York ; 226,779 to Boston ; 91,905 to Philadelphia ; 81,710 to N. Or- 
 leans; 81,252 to N. Bedford ; and 62,365 to Baltimore. 
 
 FISHERIES. 
 
 Nearly all the fisheries are carried on from the N. England states. The most im- 
 portant are the cod fishery, whale, mackeral, and herring. The value of fish, 
 Dil, and sperm candles, exported for the year ending Sept. 30, 1836, was $2,666,058. 
 
GENERAL VIEW OF TUB 
 
 PUBLIC LANDS. 
 
 These land? consist of territory that belonged to the U. States at the time of their 
 independence, of tracts ceded to the General Government by the several states, and 
 of lands acquired by treaty or purchase. A large quantity of this land is occupied 
 by Indians, who are considered the proprietors until their title is extinguished by 
 purchase. Much difficulty existed after the Revolution in adjusting the various 
 conflicting claims of several of the states to the large region of territory lying west 
 and northwest of Ohio river. They were finally settled, however, by the states of 
 N. York, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, ceding their claims to the Gen- 
 eral Government. Connecticut retained a portion of the territory (called the Con- 
 necticut Reserve, now belonging to Ohio) until 1800, from which was laid the 
 foundation of her School Fund. 
 
 Out of the above territory, the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and 
 the Ter. of Wisconsiji were formed. S. Carolina relinquished her claims in 1787; 
 N. Carolina, in 1789, to the territory now forming the state of Tennessee ; and 
 finally, in 1802. Georgia ceded to the General Government the region now forming 
 the states of Alabama and M'lssissppi. The vast tract west of the Mississippi, 
 and extending to the Pacific Ocean, comprehended under the name of Louisiana, 
 ■was purchased of France, in 1803, for 15,000,000 dollars ; and Florida, of Spain, 
 in 1819. 
 
 In 1800, Congress passed an act to provide for the survey and sale of the public 
 lands, which was the foundation of the present system. In 1812, the Land Office 
 was established. Surveys are made by contract, under the direction of the General 
 Land Office, through the Surveyor General. 
 
 The public sales of land are made by auction ; but large quantities are sold by 
 private entry. Settlers who have already occupied land without a legal title, are 
 entitled to a pre-emption right of purchase. 
 
 The public lands are divided into Districts, in each of which is a Land Office, 
 under the superintendence of a Register of the Land Office, and a Receiver of Pub- 
 lic Monies. 
 
 The surveys are based upon a series of true meridians, and all the surveys are 
 made to correspond with these lines. The land is divided into townships, 6 miles 
 square, and these into 36 sections, of one square mile each, or 640 acres. These sec- 
 tions are subdivided into quarter sections, of 160 acres each, and half-quarter sec- 
 tions, of 80 acres each. 
 
 Previous to 1820, the sales were on credit, and the minimum price was S2 00 
 per acre. But the speculations and difficulties arising from credit sales, induced 
 Congress in that year to pass an act, establishing all sales to be made for cash, and 
 reducing the minimum price of the land to SI 25 per acre, at which it still remains. 
 
 As stated in the article Education, one section of 640 acres in each township is 
 reserved for the support of common schools. Five per cent, also of the sales is re- 
 served, ihree-fifths of which are to be expended by Congress in making roads in 
 the state where the land is located, and the other two-fifths for the encouragement 
 of learning. 
 
 The total quantity of public lands surveyed up to Sept. 1, 1835, was 166,897,082 
 acres ; the whole quantity sold was 44,499,620 acres ; the nett payments into the 
 treasury (after deducting expenses) $58,619,523. 
 
 The following table exhibits the lands sold at certain periods, their annual aver- 
 age, and the nett receipts into the treasury therefrom.

 In 1836, the sales amounted to the extraordinary sum of $24,000,000 ; and in 1837 
 they had fallen to $7,004,538. 
 
 The population of the new states and territories, formed out of the public do- 
 main, increased from 1800 to 1830, from less than 60,000 to more than 2,300,000, 
 and since the latter period to 3,500,000 : embracing nine states — furnishing one third 
 of the U, S. Senate, and one sixth of the members of the House of Representativea. 
 
UNITED STATES. 
 
 Since 1820, the public lands have only produced 6 cents an acre over the minimum 
 government price. 
 
 BANKS. 
 
 The first bank which was established in this country was the Bank of North 
 America. It owed its origin to the celebrated Robert Morris. It was first charter- 
 ed by Congress at Piiiladelpliia, in 1781. 
 
 In 1792, tliere were 12 banks; in 1811,89; in 1815,208; in 1816,246; in 1820,308: 
 in 1830, 330; in 1836, 567; on the 1st Jan.. 1837, 633; 1st July, 1837, 000.

 The amount of specie in the U. States in 1833, was estimated by the Secretary 
 of the Treasury at S-29 ,000,000. In 183G, at $73,000,000. 
 
 The first United States Bank was incorporated daring Washington's administra- 
 tion, in Feb. 1791. The term limited by the charter expired on the 4th of March, 1811 
 — Congress refusing to renew the charter. Its capital was 10,000,000, divided into 
 25,000 shares of $400 each. Government held shares to the amount of $2,000,000. 
 
 The late Bank of the U. States was chartered under Madison's administration, 
 on the 10th of April, 1816, to continue for 20 years. Its capital was $35,000,000, 
 of which government held $7,000,000. Its charter expired in 1836. Congress pre- 
 viously passed an act renewing tlie charter, which was vetoed by Gten. Jackson. A 
 new charter was then obtained of the state of Pennsylvania. 
 
 REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES. 
 
 The revenue of the U. States is chiefly derived from customs and public lands. 
 For the years 1833, 1834, 1835, 1836, the annual receipts averaged $34,713,000. 
 The expenditures for the same years averaged, annually, $24,467,000, including a 
 total of $7,740,000 on account of public debt. 
 
 The surplus revenue remaining in the the treasury on the 1st January, 1837, (re- 
 serving 5,000,000,) was $37,468,859. By an act of Congress, passed June 23, 1836, 
 this surplus was directed to be deposited with the several states in quarterly instal- 
 ments, according to the number of their electoral votes, to commence Jan. 1, 1837. 
 The 1st, 2d, and 3d deposits were made; but the last instalment was postponed, by 
 ftct of Congress, in consequence of the deficiency of the revenue, arising from the 
 great commercial distress of 1837. The amount actually distributed was $28,101,645. 
 
 The receipts for the year 1837 (including the issue of several millions in Treasury 
 notes) amounted to $23,499,000. Expenditures $35,281,000. 
 
 PUBLIC DEBT. 
 
 The last of the public debt was paid in 1835 ; when the U. States presented the 
 only example on earth of a government entirely free from debt. The public debt 
 of the U. States originated m the struggle of the Revolution, and presented the 
 largest amount about the close of the war in 1816 — being then $127,334,933. The 
 following table exhibits the debt at different periods, from the close of the Revolu- 
 tionary War to its final extinction.

10 GENERAL VIEW OF TIIE 
 
 MINT. 
 
 The Mint was established in Philadelphia in 1792. Branch mints have recently 
 been established at New Orleans, Charlotte, N. C, and Dahlonega, Ga. The total 
 amount of coinage from 1792 to 1836 inclusive, is, of gold $22,102,035; of silver 
 $46,739,182 ; of copper $740,331 ;— total, $69,581,548. For four years the coinage 
 was as follows: 
 
 In 1833, value $3,765,710 1 In 1835, value $5,668,667 
 
 1834, " 7,388,423 | 1836, " 7,764,900 
 
 In the preceding years, there was deposited in gold for coinage from the U. States 
 mines, $2,931,500, viz.: In 1833, $868,000; in 1834, $898,000; in 1835, $698,500; 
 1836, $467,000. 
 
 ARMY. 
 
 From the peculiar position of the U. States in regard to foreign powers, and 
 the genius and economy of her republicun institutions, it has not been thought ne- 
 cessary, nor politic, to sustain a large standing army. According to official re- 
 ports the regular army, on the 30th Nov., 1836, amounted to 7,958, organized as 
 follows : 
 
 General Staff 14 
 
 Medical Department 76 
 
 Pay department 18 
 
 Purchasing Department 3 
 
 Corps of Engineers 22 
 
 Topographical Department 10 
 
 Ordnance Department 308 
 
 Two Regiments of Dragoons 1,498 
 
 Four Regiments of Artillery 2,180 
 
 Seven Regiments of Infantry 3,829 
 
 Total 7,958. 
 
 There are two great Military Divisions, divided by a line commencing at the 
 mouth of the Mississippi, following up that river to Cassville, in Wisconsin Ter- 
 ritory, thence north to the boundary line between the U. States and Canada. All 
 west of that line is called the Western Division ; and all east of it, the Eastern Di' 
 vision. 
 
 The total number of militia in the U. States, as given in an official report, dated 
 Nov., 1836, is 1,326, 821. The militia comprises all able bodied white males be- 
 tween the ages of 18 and 45; and when called into actual service, they receive the 
 same pay as the army. 
 
 NAVY. 
 
 The American navy, though small in point of numbers, is formidable in its 
 power, and very efficient in its organization and discipline. It consisted in 1837, 
 nnished and on the stocks, of 
 
 11 ships of 74* guns. 2 ships of 24 guns.

 The navy contains 50 Captains; 48 Masters Commandant ; 296 Lieutenants; 
 50 Surgeons; 14 Passed Assistant Surgeons ; 43 Assistant Surgeons ; 41 Pursers ; 
 9 Chaplains ; 198 Passed Midshipmen ; 256 Midshipmen ; 27 Sailing Masters ; 
 19 Boatswains; 20 Gunners; 19 Carpenters ; 19 Sail Makers. 
 
 POST OFFICE. 
 
 The first Post in the U. States was established in New York in 1710. In 1789, 
 at the adoption of the Federal Constitution, the whole management of the Posts 
 was conferred on Congress. There were then only 75 post offices in the U. States 
 —there are now (1838) about 12,300. 
 
 The following table will exhibit the extraordinary increa'* of this dep-irtmed

 Postmaster General may provide. 
 
 Any person who shall counterfeit the handwriting or frank of any person, or 
 cause the same to be done, in order to avoid the payment of postage, shall for each 
 offence pay five hundred dollars. 
 
 RELIGION. 
 The Constitution of the U. States declares that Congress shall make no law re- 
 specting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The 
 
VJ 
 
 GENERAL VIEW OF THE 
 
 same principle prevails in the several states. The support of religion is entirely 
 voluntary throughout tlie U. States. And its happy tendency, so consistent with 
 the mild spirit of the gospel, is everywhere manifest. A provision existed in Mas- 
 sachusetts, by which the Legislature might require the towns to support the Protest- 
 ant religion. But this was done away in 1833. Nor is it possible that any church 
 and state establishment can ever be formed in the U. States : for if the improbable desire 
 for such a union should ever arise in any one denomination, there would be at least 
 two thirds, comprehending all other denominations, united to oppose it ; — without 
 including a large portion of the community not connected with any sect. 
 
 But wnile every individual is left entirely free in the choice of his religion, or in 
 its support, and the law no where enjoins it as an obligation, it is a happy evi- 
 dence of the prevailing public sentiment, that the Constitutions of the several states 
 recognize the moral obligations and duties of the Christian religion, and extend 
 their protection over its full enjoyment and exercise. 
 
 The following summary exhibits in round numbers, dropping fractions, the num« 
 ber of churches, ministers, and communicants, in the U. States in 1836. 
 
 Churches or Societies, 21,670; ministers, 16,000; communicants, 2,200,000. Of

 All other denominations have about 300 societies or churches. There are esti- 
 mated to be over 700,000 Catholics in the United States, who increase principally by 
 emigration from foreign countries. The proportion of the Catholic to the Protestant 
 population is as oiie to eighteen, 
 
 EDUCATION. 
 
 The general diffusion of knowledge has always been considered of great import* 
 ance in a popular government. The U. States present an example of a free people 
 acting upon the principle, with slight exceptions, of universal suffrage. Every 
 white male citizen above 21 years of age, in most of the states, has a voice in the 
 choice of his rulers ; which implies that every such citizen should be capable, to a 
 reasonable extent, of exercising that right with judgment and discretion. This 
 cannot be expected without a proper attention to the education of the loAole mass of 
 thepeople. Nor can any republican institutions be safe without it. 
 
 The subject of popular education, therefore, has early received the favorable at- 
 tention of several of the states, particularly the N. England states and N. York ; 
 and now this attention is becommg more general and decided. Other states are 
 awakening up to its importance. Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan, have estab- 
 lished excellent systems ; and the gratifying prospect is presented, that in a short 
 time every state in the Union will have an effiicient common school system, which 
 •will embrace all the children of the land, under a course of good sound education. 
 
 The General Government of the U. States does nothing in aid of public instruc- 
 tion, except to reserve for that purpose one section of the public land in every town- 
 ship, being ,, part, or one mile square, — and also certain reservations for colleges. 
 These appropriations for common schools have already amounted to near nine mil- 
 lions of acres ; and for colleges and academies to near Jive hundred thousand acres. 
 To the states, respectively, belong the duty of providing in a special manner for the 
 education of the young ; and these particular efforts will be noticed under the headt 
 of the individual states. 
 
UNITED STATES. 13 
 
 The number of colleges founded in the U. States, up to 1838, is 93, but several of 
 them liave not yet gone into operation. The number of volume.s in the rollege li- 
 braries, SyO.OOO; the number in tlic students libraries, 120,000; total, 'lOOjOOO. 
 
 The whole number of Instructors is 750 
 
 The whole number of Alumni 20,170 
 
 The whole number of Students, in 1837, 9,230 
 
 Of the above Alumni, 5,3-21 were £:raduates of Harvard University, Mas.; 4,485 
 of Yale College, Ct. ; 2,183 of Princeton College, N. J.; 1,858 of Dartmouth Col- 
 kge, N. H. ; 1,700 of Columbia College, N. Y. ; 1,G00 of Union College, Schenec- 
 tady; and 1,253 of Brown University, R. I. 
 
 There arc thirty theological seminaries in the U. States and five theological de- 
 partments connected with other colleges. 
 
 The number of Professors in 1837 was 84 
 
 Tlie number of Tlieological Students 1,057 
 
 Tiic number of volumes in library 72,500 
 
 According to the " Catholic Almanac" for 1837, the Catholics have 13 colleges; 
 12 ecclesiastical seminaries ; 23 female religious institutions; 37 female academies; 
 and 37 charitable institutions. 
 
 The Catholic ecclesiastical seminaries contain 84 students. The whole number 
 of Catholic colleges is tkiricen. In eight of these (the number organized in 1837) 
 there were, instructors 130; students 995; volumes in libraries 50,000; whole num- 
 ber of Alumni, 394. 
 
 There are 2G medical schools in the U. States, numbering 141 professors and 
 2,400 students. 
 
 PUBLIC LIBRARIES. 
 
 In a report to the Senate of the U. States, in 188G, by Mr. Preston of S. C, on 
 the expediency of purchasing the library of the late Count Boutourlin at Florence, 
 for the library of Congress, — it is stated that all the libraries in the U. States 
 amount to about 400,000 volumes: of these there are 50,000 distinct works. Other, 
 and more recent autiioritics, founded upon particular examinations, give the num- 
 ber as between 700,000 and 800,000 volumes, which is probably correct. 
 
 After the destruction of the library of Congress by the British in August, 1814, 
 Government purchased Mr. Jellcrson's library, consisting of 6,484 volumes for 
 S23,950. Since which, additional sums have been appropriated, making a total, 
 since 1814, of i?99,950. The whole number of volumes in the library is 2-1,000. 
 
 Of the other public libraries in the U. States, the following are the largest: 
 
 Philadelphia, 44,000 vols. I Boston Atheneum, 29,000 vols. 
 
 Cambridge University, 42,000 | New York City, 25,000 
 
 Among other respectable libraries, the following deserve particular notice: 
 Charleston, S. C. ; Andover Theol. Sem. ; Antiquarian Society, Worcester; N. 
 York Mercantile; N. York Apprentices; Baltimore and Georgetown College; aver- 
 aging about 12,000 volumes each. 
 
 Although the libraries of the U. States are small compared with the magnificent 
 collections in Europe, which amount to an aggregate of 19,850.000 volumes — (the 
 Paris Royal containing 700,000 ; Munich, 550,000; London, 2^14,000 volumes,)— yet 
 when the age of the country is considered, and that libraries are always of slow 
 growl h, their number and extent are certainly respectable. 
 
 GOVERNMENT. 
 
 The Government of the U. States is that of a confederated republic, in which all 
 power belongs to the people. The legislative power is vested in a Congress, com- 
 
 Eosed of a Senate and House of Representatives. The Senate consists ot two mem- 
 ers from each state, chosen by the legislatures, respectively, for a period of si.x 
 years. The terms of service are so arranged, that one third of the whole Senate 
 IS renewed every two years. 
 
 Every Senator must bo at least 30 years of age, and have been 9 years a citizen. 
 The present number of Senators is 52. 
 
 2 
 
14 GENERAL VIEW OF TlIE 
 
 The Senate has the sole power to try impeachments. The Vice President la 
 President of the Senate, and has a casting vote only. 
 
 The House of Representatives is composed of members elected in the several 
 states by the people, for a term of two years. Each state is entitled, under a law 
 passed ia 1832, to send one Representative for every 47,700 inhabitants. Tho 
 present number of members is 242, and two Delegates — one from Wisconsin, and 
 one from Florida territory. 
 
 Every Representative must be at least 25 yeai-s of age, and have been 7 years a 
 citizen. 
 
 The pay of each member of Congress, during the session, is S8 per day, and $8 
 for every 20 miles' travel, to and from the seat of government. The compensatioD 
 of the President of the Senate, pro tern., who is chosen in the absence of the Vice 
 President, and of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is $16 a day. 
 
 All bills for raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. 
 
 No member of Congress can hold any office under the U. States at the same time 
 
 Congress have power to Icty and collect taxes — provide for the common defence 
 and general welfare — borrow money — regulate commerce with foreign nations, 
 among the states, and with the Indian tribes — to establish uniform laws on natu- 
 ralization and bankruptcies — to coin money, regulate its value, and fix the standard 
 of weights and measures — to establish post offices and post roads — to grant patent 
 and copy-rights — to constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court — to define 
 and punish piracies and offences on the high seas, and against the law of nations 
 to declare war — grant letters of marque and reprisal — to raise and support armies 
 — provide and maintain a navy — to provide for calling forth the milida to execute 
 the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions — to provide for 
 organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia (the states appointing the officers 
 thereof) — to exercise exclusive legislation over the District of Columbia, forts, mag- 
 azines, dock yards, &c., and to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into 
 execution the powers vested by the constitution in the Government of the U. States, 
 or in any department thereof. 
 
 The Executive power is vested in a President, who is chosen for four years, by 
 electors from from the different states, equal in number to the Senators and Repre- 
 sentatives from each state. He must be a native citizen of the U. states, and not 
 under 35 years of age. He is a commander and chief of the army and navy, and 
 of the militia, when in actual service. His compensation is ^25,000 a year. In case 
 of his death, resignation, or inability to act, the Vice President acts as President. 
 
 The President makes all treaties, with the concurrence of two thirds of the Sen- 
 ate ; and appoints, with the consent of the Senate, ambassadors, judges of the Su- 
 preme Court, and other officers, not otherwise appointed by law. He is eligible for 
 re-election, but the example of Washington in retiring to private life after a second 
 term, has established a precedent which has not since been departed from. The Presi- 
 dent has a Cabinet, consisting of the heads of the different departments, viz., the Sec- 
 retary of State, Treasury, War, Navy, Po&tm aster General, and Attorney General. 
 
 The judicial power of the U. States is vested in a Supreme Court, composed of a 
 Chief Justice and six associates, which holds its session annnally at Washington 
 city, and a District Court in each state. There are also seven judicial Circuits, in 
 each of which a Circuit Court is held twice a year for each state in the Circuit, by 
 a Justice of the Supreme Court, and by a District Judge. 
 
 The judges hold their offices during good behaviour. The Supreme Court has 
 original jurisdiction in all cases relating to ambassadors and consuls — and appellate 
 jurisdiction in all cases arising under tiie Constitution of the U. States — in all ad- 
 miralty cases — in controversies between two states — two citizens of different states 
 — and between a stale, or its citizens, and a foreign state or its subjects. 
 
 The state governments (2G in number) are founded upon the same general prin- 
 ciples of popular rights that are adopted in the Constitution of the U. States. Each 
 state has guaranteed to it a republican form of government, and the state constitu- 
 tions do not essentially differ in their forms from that of the Federal Government. 
 
 Each state is independent, and has exclusive legislation on all subjects not dele- 
 gated to the General Government. Its whole domestic and local policy is, there- 
 fore, by this admirable system, brought immediately under the control of its own 
 citizens, through their representatives. 
 
 The legislature of every state is now composed of two branches, Vermont hay- 
 ing in 1836 established a Senate. 
 
UNITED STATES. 
 
 15 
 
 In 8 states, Senators are elected for 1 year; in 4 states, for 2 years ; in 3 states, 
 for 3 years ; in 10 states, for four years ; and 1 state, (Maryland,) for 5 years. In 
 9 states, Representatives are elected for "2 years ; in all others, except Rhode Island, 
 whici» elects semi-annually, they are elected annnally. 
 
 Eight states elect their Governors for 1 year ; nine states, for 2 years ; four states, 
 for 3 years ; and five, for 4 years. Tiie Governors of the territories of Florida and 
 Wisconsin are appointed by the President of the U. States and Senate. 
 
 In all states, pxcept N. .Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and S. Carolina, the Gov- 
 ernor is elected by the people. In Louisiana, the legislature chooses one from the 
 two highest candidates voted for by the people. 
 
 Further details of the state governments are given in the descriotion of the par- 
 ticular states, in their proper places. 
 
 POPULATION. 
 
 The unexampled increase of population in the U. States, since the period of its 
 independence, is a decisive evidence of its growing and substantial prosperity. The 
 first actual enumeration of the inhabitants was made in 1790.

 Alabama was organized as a Territo- 
 rial government in 1817, and admitted 
 into the Union as a state in 1820. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Alabama, 
 Cahawba, Choctaw, Conecuh, Coosa, 
 Black Warrior, Tombigbee, Tallapoosa, 
 Chattahoochee, Perdido and Mobile. 
 
 Cotton is the great staple, but wheat, 
 corn, rice, &c. are cultivated. 
 
 The climate in the uplands is healthy 
 and the summers pleasant. But on the 
 lowlands and the neighborhood of the 
 rivers it is unhealthy. 
 
 About half of the surface of tlje »;tate is 
 composed of Piiie Barrens which arre 
 thinly covered with trees and produce a 
 coarse grass. This soil which is a red- 
 dish clay, is favorable to the growth of 
 wheat. In the north parts of the state 
 the soil is generally very good. In the 
 south much of it is low and swampy and 
 the soil thin. 
 
 The principal town is Mobile, the 
 other towns of the greatest importance are 
 Blakely, St. Stephens, and Tuscaloosa, 
 the capital of the state. 
 
 The state has two colleges, the Univer- 
 sily of Alahavia, and La Grange College. 
 There are also about 30 incorporated 
 academies. 
 
 The N. part of Alabama was formerly 
 included in Georgia, which was pur- 
 chased by the U. S. and formed part of 
 the Mississippi Territory. 
 
 The Senate consists of 30 members 
 elected for 3 years. The H. of Represent- 
 atives of 91 members elected annually. 
 Pay of the members $4,00 per day. 
 
 The principal internal improvements 
 in this state recently finished, in progress 
 or projected, are the Montgomery and 
 Chaltakooche R. R. 76 m. long. Tuscum- 
 bia and Decatur R. R. 46 m. Florida, 
 Alabama and Georgia R. R. 110 m. to 
 connect Columbus in Georgia with Pei> 
 sacola, Florida, through Alabama. Dale- 
 town and Greensborough R. R. 17 m. 
 Mobile and Tennessee R. R. Benton and 
 Haysville R. R. 18 m. and the Erie and 
 Greensboroogh R. R. 
 
 The Himtsville Canal from Huntsvilh 
 to Triana on the Ten. r. 10 m. long, and 
 a canal from the head of Muscle Shoals 
 to Florence 37 m. long. 
 
 ALABAMA R. Is formed by the 
 Coosa and Tallapoosa and receives as a 
 tributary the Cahawba from the north. 
 Coosa the main constituent of tiie Alaba- 
 ma, rises in Tennessee. The course of

 rich on the Hudson, but sandy and un- 
 cultivated in the mtcrior. One of the 
 earliest settlements in the state was in

 ALBANY City, in Albany co. N. Y. 
 the capital of the state, on the W. side of 
 the Hudson r.Mam.N. of N. Y. 163 m. 
 W. of Boston ; 230 m. S. of jNIontrcal, 
 and 376 from Washington City. The 
 Erie canal terminates here after uniting 
 with the Champlain canal, and has great- 
 ly added to the wealth and commercial 
 importance of the place. Many steam- 
 boats, sloops and canal boats are con- 
 stantly employed during navigation in 
 conveyin? iVeight and passengers to and 
 from K. Y. and the canals. Albany was 
 settled by the Dutch in 1614, and is one 
 of the oldest settlements in the U. S. Its 
 population in 1790, was 3,506; 1810, 
 10,744 ; 1820, 12,541 ; 1830, 24,238 ; 1840, 
 33,721. Its public buildings and many 
 of tiie cliurches are very beautiful, giving 
 evidence of the taste and enterprise of the 
 inhabitants. 
 
 The Capitol is a substantial building 
 standing on an elevation 130 feet above 
 the river, it is 115 teet long by 90 broad. 
 Among other public buildings the most 
 conspicuous and elegant are the Academy, 
 the Cily Hall, the Stale Hall, Albany 
 Female Academy and Stanwiz Hall. 
 
 The city contains also several highly 
 respectable scientific and literary institu- 
 tions, private academies and select schools, 
 and several excellent public schools, giv- 
 
 ing every facility for the education of all 
 the children. 
 
 The Alhany Library, Albany InsliluU, 
 Young Men's Association and the Appren- 
 tices Library, deserve particular notice.

 and W. by Missouri Ter. Length from 
 N. to S. 245 m. mean breadth 213 ; area 
 about 52,185 m. Pop. 1833, 40,370 ; 1835, 
 97,574. of which about 6,000 are slaves. 
 
 Arkan.sas was settled in 1685 ; orga- 
 nized into a Territorial government in 
 1819 ; and admitted as a state into the 
 Union in 1836. Arkansas is the principal 
 river, the other important rivers are the 
 White, Bed, Washita, Cache, and St. 
 Francia. The eastern part of the state is 
 level which gradually varies to the west- 
 ward, v/hcre the Black or Ozark Moun- 
 tains pass through the state. The soil is 
 fertile, and produces cotton, wheat, tobac- 
 co, &c., with rich and extensive prairies. 
 Iron, lead and coal are found, and abun- 
 dance of salt. 
 
 The shores of the Arkansas r. to Little 
 Rock, are considered unhealthy. The 
 level sections of the country are wet and 
 not easily drained. But the great prairie 
 and the smaller prairies in the upper parts 
 of the country are more healthy. 
 
 The Legislature meets every two years, 
 and is compo.sed of a Senate of 17 mem- 
 bers, and a H. of Representatives of 54 
 members.

 CINCINNATI, Hamilton ro. O. an 
 important commercial city and c. t. It 
 was first laid out in 1789, but took its rise 
 after the defeat of the Indians by Wayne 
 in 1794. It is situated on the N. bank o 
 the Ohio r. on a level ]ilat of ground. 
 The streets cross each other at right an- 
 gles, and are well regulated. This city 
 has been justly styled the " (iucen of the 
 
CIT 
 
 63 
 
 CLA 
 
 West." It is not more distinguished for 
 the enterprise and munificence of its inha- 
 bitants, than for their noble spirit in pro- 
 moting the cause of learning and primary 
 education. Besides several respectable 
 colleges, institutes, lyceums, &c. the large 
 and commodious buildings erected for 
 common school instruction reflect the high- 
 est credit upon the public spirit and bene- 
 ficence of the inhabitants. 
 
 Many of the public buildings are very 
 beautiful ; among v/hich the nev/ edifice 
 for the Franklin and Lafayette Banks, 
 of the Grecian Doric order, resembling the 
 United States Bank at Philadelphia, stands 
 conspicuous. The spacious Court House 
 and United States Branch Bank building 
 deserve also to be noticed. There are also 
 many fine churches, 4 market houses, col- 
 lege and literary buildings, and several 
 elegant hotels. 
 
 The commercial and manufacturing im- 
 portance of this place is very great. The 
 exports for 183-2 were estimated at ^4,000,- 
 000, and for 183G at S5,000,000. A large 
 number of steam engines are in operation, 
 in cotton and various other manufactories. 
 Various rail-roads, canals, and turnpike 
 roads, projected or in a course of construc- 
 tion, are expected to add still greater fa- 
 cilities of trade and wealth to this flour- 
 ishing emporium. 
 
 The following account of its population 
 at difl:erent periods marks its rapid histo- 
 ry. Pop. in 1800, 750; 18-20, 10,000: 
 l'8-24, 1-2,016 : 1826, 16,230 ; 1830, 24,831 ;

 COKTIffECTICUT, oneofthe 
 United States, is bounded N. by Massa- 
 chusetts ; E. by Rhode Island ; S. by 
 Long Island Sound ; and W. by New 
 York. Its mean length from E. to W. is 
 about 88 m. Its mean breadth from N. to 
 S. .58 ra. containing about 5,100 square m. 
 
 It has several ranges of mountains, 
 which, however, are not of much eleva- 
 tion. The general face of the country is 
 varied by moderate undulations of hill 
 and valley. The valleys generally are 
 very rich. The E. part of the state par- 
 ticularly, contains strong and rich soil — 
 the NW. portion is indifterent. The cli- 
 mate is remarkably healthy. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Connecti- 
 cut, the Housatonic, and the Thames. 
 
 The principal cities and villages are 
 Hartford, and New Haven, the two state 
 capitals, — New London, Middletown, 
 Norwich, Wcthersfield, and Windsor. 
 
 The chief agricultural productions are 
 corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, 
 &c. There are fine meadows and pasture 
 land, on which many sheep and other 
 stock are raised. Silk is also raised ia 
 considerable quantities. 
 
 There are many manufactories of cot- 
 ton, paper, leather, iron, &c. in a flourish- 
 ing condition, and there is a considerable 
 coasting trade with New York, Boston, 
 and elsewhere. 
 
 There are two colleges in the state —

 A common school system is established, 
 and exiendinj:: a good inlluence over thou- 
 sands of children ; but here, as in other 
 st.ites, the people too much overlook the 
 great claims of these primary schools. 
 The school fund is about S-^^.OOO.OOO. 
 
 Internal impruvcmeuls completed and 
 in jtrogress, are as follows: The New 
 York, Providence i)'- licslon Hail Road, 
 extending from Sionington to Providence,! 
 II. I. 47 m. ; and the Worcester <f- Nur- 
 V'ich Rail Roudy 48 m. ; and the Hartford

 from New Haven to tlie Massacinisetts 
 slate line, uniting with the Hampshire & 
 Hampden Canal, which reaches to North- 
 ampton, '22 m.; and the Enfield Caval,

 CONNECTICUT R. the principal r. 
 in the New England states, arises in the 
 N. exlrem-ity of N. H. and forms the 
 boundary between that state and Vt. It 
 is about 400 m. long. It is navigable fur 
 steamboats and vessels drawing 8 feet, to 
 Hartford, 50 m. from its mouth — but 
 Bir.aller boats proceed up about 280 m. 
 It has several fulls, which have been over- 
 come by means of locks and dams ; of 
 these. Bellows Falls is the most remarka- 
 ble. There are many beautiful villages 
 upon its borders.

 DELAWARE R. a large and impor- 
 tant r. rises in the state of New York, 
 Schoharie co. in the Catt.skill Mountains, 
 forms part of the boundary between N. 
 
 Y. and Pa. and between Pa. and K. 3, 
 and flows into Delaware Baj'. It is about 
 300 m. long, and navigable for the largest 
 vessels to Philadelphia, and for steam 
 boats to Trenton Falls, 35 m. further. 
 
 DEIjAVVARE Bay, between the states 
 of Delaware and New Jersey, near 20 m. 
 wide at its mouth, from Cape May to 
 Cape Henlopen. Within the latter cape, 
 a breakwater is constructed, forming a 
 safe artificial harbor for" vessels in stormy 
 weather. 
 
 DliliA'Willlll, one of the 
 United States, bounded N. by Pennsyl- 
 vania ; E. by Delaware r. and Bay, and 
 the Atlantic ; and S. and W. by Mary- 
 land. It is 93 m. long^^mean breadth 22 
 m. Area, 2,110 square m. or about 1,350,- 
 000 acres. 
 
 The general surface of the country is 
 level. The soil is a rich clay in the nor- 
 thern parts of the state, and along the Dela- 
 ware r. but in the extreme N. it is stony, 
 and becomes sandy on the sea coast. The 
 climate is mild and healtliy. 
 
 Wheat is the principal production, from 
 which very beautiful white flour is pro- 
 duced. Corn, rye, barley, and flax are 
 also raised in considerable quantities. 
 
 There are several important manufac- 
 tories of cotton, wool, paper, and gun- 
 powder in the neighborhood of Wilming- 
 ton, and some of the largest grist mills in 
 the country. 
 
 The principal towns are Wilmington, 
 Dover, the state capital, and Newcastle. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Brandy- 
 wine and Christiana crs. which unite and 
 fall into the Delaware below Wilming- 
 ton. 
 
 The state is divided into three counties, 
 which are subdivided into 24 hundreds. 
 
 Delaware has no college, but some very 
 respectable private academies, and a sys- 
 tem of common schoob, supported by the 
 interest of a fund, and a ta.x of equal 
 amount raised in the school districts. 
 
 The state was first settled at Fort Chris- 
 tiana, on the creek of that name, by the 
 Swedes and Finns in 1627. In 1655 the 
 colony was taken by the Dutch of Netv 
 York ; and at'ter the conquest of New 
 York by the English, in 1664, it was an- 
 nexed to that colony. In 1682, it was 
 icranted, v/ith Pennsylvania, to William 
 Penn. The colonies were separated irj 
 1701, but remained Tinder one governor 
 until 1776, when Delaware adopted a new 
 constitution.

 EVERGLADES, of Florida. A letter 
 from an officer in the Florida army thus 
 writes of this comparatively unknown 
 region: "At this season, (dated Fort 
 Brooke, December, 1837,) the appearance 
 of the everglades is like that of a bound- 
 less field of wheat in the harvest season. 
 A species of grass, about five feet in 
 height, covers the earth, and extends be- 
 low the horizon. The country is perfect- 
 ly level ; and the winds, which are al- 
 ways blowing, wave the grass like a 
 troubled sea. Near Fort Gardiner, which 
 is seventy miles due east from here, there 
 are strips of hammock land, and when 
 the surface rises a little, of pine barren ; 
 but the Indians state, that in the lower 
 part of the country the prairie land 
 stretches to the horizon all around you, 
 except here and there a few spots of wood 
 called Islands. It is the general impres- 
 sion that these everglades are uninhabit- 
 able during the summer months, by rea- 
 son of their being overflowed by the abun- 
 dant rains of that season ; but if it should 
 prove that these inundations are caused 
 or increased by obstructions to the natural 
 courses of the rivers, as outlets to the nu- 
 merous lakes, American industry will re- 
 move these obstructions."

 FZiORlDA, the SE. Territory 
 of the United States, bounded N. by 
 Georeia and Alabama, E. by the Atlan- 
 tic, W.and S. by the Gulf of Mexico and 
 
 part of Alabama. It is usually divided, 
 in describing it, into East and West Flori- 
 da. Length, 3()0 m. — breadth, 150 m. 
 
 The surft\ce of the country generally is 
 Hat, and a great portion of the soil in the 
 peninsula is wet, swampy and unlit for 
 cultivation. 
 
 In other parts there is a rich, produc- 
 tive soil, and many excellent forests of 
 live oak and other timber. 
 
 The climate is hot and unhealthy, ex- 
 cept between the months of October and 
 June, when it is very pleasant and healthy. 
 
 Florida was discovered by Ponre de 
 Leon, a Spaniard, in 1512, and settled by 
 the Spaniards in 1524, who were long and 
 obstinately opposed by the native Indians. 
 The country was subdued by De Soto, in 
 1539. In 17G3, it was ceded by Spain to 
 Great Britain, in exchange for Havanna. 
 The Spaniards re-conquered it in 1781, 
 since which they held it until it was ceded 
 by Spain to the United States, in 1821. 
 
 Florida has been remarkable since that 
 period for two wars with the Seminoles. 
 The first broke out in 1818, and was soon 
 brought to a close by Gen. Jackson. The 
 second war has been more obstinate and 
 bloody. 
 
 Tallahassee, in W. Florida, is the seat 
 of government. The other principal towns 
 are St. Augustine and Pensacola. 
 
 The principal rivers are the St. Mary's, 
 St. John's, the Suwanee, the Apalachi- 
 cola and the Withlacouchce.

 GEORGIA, one of the United 
 States, bounded N. by Tennessee and N. 
 Carolina, E. by South Carolina and the 
 Atlantic Ocean, S. by Florida, and W. 
 by Alabama, Its length N. toS. is about 
 280 m.— breadth 250— square m. 58,500. 
 
 On the margin of the rivers and on the 
 sea coast, the country is generally low 
 and marshy. The pine barrens extend 
 60 or 80 m. from the sea, beyond which 
 the country rise.s and t^ndulates, with con- 
 siderable elevations. In the interior the 
 land is strong and productive, and well 
 •dapted lo the cultivation of cotton, rice 
 10 
 
 and tobacco. Oranges, limes and figs are 
 also raised abundantly. 
 
 Considerable gold has been found in 
 the neighboriiood of the Blue Ridge. 
 
 The climate is very healthy in winter, 
 but hot and subject to fevers in the sum- 
 mer season. 
 
 The chief cities and towns are Savan- 
 nah, Augusta, and Milledgeville, the cap- 
 ital. 
 
 The university is situated at Athens, 
 and has a library of about 5,(HX) volumes. 
 There are over 100 schools in tlie state, 
 with a fund of S500,000 for their support. 
 
 Until recently, a large portion of the 
 NW. section of the state was occiipied by 
 the Cherokee Indians, and of the W. part 
 by the Creeks, who have recently been 
 removed to the lands assigned tftem by 
 the United States W. of Arkansas. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Savannah, 
 the Altamaha, the Great Ogeechee, the 
 Chatahoochee, the Ockmulgee, the Oconee, 
 St. Mary's and Flint. 
 
 Georgia was the last settled of the At- 
 lantic states. In 1732, James Oglcthorps 
 and a body of emigrants founded Savan- 
 nah. A representative assembly was first 
 cstablislied in 1755. Previous to the revo- 
 lution, the colonists were frequently har- 
 rassed by the Indians, and during the 
 revolution the country was often overrun 
 by the British.

 of the state of New York, rises in the 
 mountains in Essex and Hamilton cos. 
 SW. of Lake Champain, flows nearly S. 
 about 300 m. and empties into New York 
 Bay. It has three expansions, called 
 Tappan, Havcrstraw and Peekskill Bays. 
 Mohawk r. is its principal tributary, and 
 unites with it at Waterford, between Al- 
 bany and Saratoga cos. The Hudson is 
 remarkable for its bold shores, and its va- 
 ried and beautifully picturesque Highland 
 scenery. It is navigable for large steam- 
 boats to Albany and Troy, 165 m. It is

 breadth, 70 m. without including Lake 
 Iroquois, (or Manitouline.) Its depth in 
 some places is said to be unfathomable. 
 It contains a chain of islands, stretching 
 along the N. part, the principal of which 
 is the Great Manitou. That portion of 
 the lake on the NE. is variously named 
 Lake Iroquois, Lake Manitouline, and 
 Georgian Bay. It is about 130 m. long

 In 17C3, the territory embracing Illinoia 
 was ceded to Great Britain by the French, 
 who first made settlements along the Illi- 
 nois and Mississippi rs. as early as 1673.

 After the revolution, the country was held 
 by the state of Virginia, and ceilerl by 
 that state to the United Slates in 1787. 
 When the territory now forming tlie state 
 of Ohio was set apart, Indiana and Illi- 
 nois were united. In 1809, they were or- 
 ganized into two distinct territories ; and 
 in 1818, Illinois was admitted as a state 
 into the Union. 
 
 The surface of the state is generally 
 level, with a little inclination, and gently 
 undulating. In the southern part it is 
 more hilly, but without any consider- 
 able elevations. The soil of a great por- 
 tion of the state is extremely rich, and 
 has gained for it from some travellers the 
 appellation of the garden of America. 
 There are, however, some extensive plains 
 and prairies, whicr. are scarce of timber 
 and pure water. Some of them are for a 
 
 Eortion of the year inundated with water. 
 ;ut in general, these rich prairies are sus- 
 ceptible of being drained at small expense, 
 which will undoubtedly take place as the 
 population becomes more dense, and 
 ■which will remove the danger of sickness 
 produced in such neighborhood by the 
 miasmi arising from the ponds and 
 swamps. Much of the prairie land is 
 quite dry. The "bottom" lands, which 
 are flooded at times, but on which the wa- 
 ters do not stand, are inexhaustible in 
 fertility — the soil reaching to a depth of 
 20 or 30 feet. 
 
 The principal productions are wheat 
 and maize, or Indian corn ; but other 
 prains, and also cotton, hemp and tobacco, 
 can be raised. Vegetables can be produ- 
 ced abundantly. Over seventy millions 
 of pounds of lend have been produced 
 from 18-21 to 1835, yielding to the U. S. 
 government six million pounds. 
 
 The population of the state has increas- 
 ed very rapidly. In 1810, it was 12,28*2 ; 
 1820, .'S5,211 i 1830, 157,575; and in 1840, 
 476,183. 
 
 Principal rivers — Illinois, Rock, Kas- 
 kaskia, Sangamon, Little Wabash, Fox 
 and Kankakee. 
 
 Vandalia is the capital of the state. 
 
 Internal Improvements. — The state has 
 commenced an extensive system of inter- 
 nal improvements. At the session of the 
 Legislature in 1837, an act was passed 
 appointing a Board of Commissioners of 
 Public Works, and appropriations to the 
 amount of S'J,'JOO,000 were authorized, for 
 various improvements, some of which are 
 as follows: A rail road from Cairo, near 
 the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi 
 rs. by way of Vandalia and Decatur, to 
 ii point at or near the S. termination of 
 
 the Illinois and Michigan Canal, and 
 thence to Galena, S'3,500.U00. A rail roud 
 from Cluincy, on the Mississippi r. by 
 way of Columbus, Mcredosia, in Morgan 
 CO. Springfield, Sangamon co. Danville, 
 in Vermilion co. to the state line, towards 
 Lafayette, la. $1,850,000. A rail road 
 from Alton to Mount Carmel. A rail 
 road from Alton to Shawneetown, to di- 
 verge from the former at Ed wards ville. 
 A rail road from Peoria to Warsaw, on 
 the Mississippi r. 
 
 A branch of the Central Rail Road, at 
 a point on a line from Shelby ville, Shelby 
 CO. to Hillsboro', via Charleston, Coles 
 CO. and Paris to the Indiana state line, in 
 the direction of Terre Haute. 
 
 A rail road from Lower Alton, via 
 Hillsboro', to the Central Rail Road, to 
 intersect the former rail road to Terre 
 Haute. 
 
 A rail road from Bloomington, McLean 
 CO. to Mackinaw t. Tazewell co. with a 
 branch to Illinois r. to connect with the 
 Peoria and Warsaw Rail Road, and an- 
 other branch to Pckin. 
 
 A rail road from Belleville, by way of 
 Lebanon, to intersect the rail road from 
 Alton to Mount Carmel. 
 
 Besides these, there are several rail 
 roads undertaken by private companies ; 
 among which are, a rail road from Jack- 
 sonville to Augusta, 22 m.; a rail road 
 from Chicago to Des Plaines, 12 m. ; a 
 rail road from St. Louis to the coal mines 
 at Bluffs, 6 m. ; a rail road from Naples 
 to Jacksonville. 
 
 The Illinois (f- Michigan Canal ex- 
 tends from Chicago, on Lake Michigan, 
 to Peru, on Illinois r. 100 m. 
 
 Besides these, liberal appropriations 
 have been made for improving the Wa- 
 bash, Illinois, Rock, Little Wabash, and 
 Kaskaskia rs. and several public roads. 
 
 ILLINOIS R. a very important r. 
 whose northern source is Fox r. rising in 
 Wisconsin Territory, and its E. source 
 the Kankakee. When the Kankakee and 
 the R. des Plaines unite, they take the name 
 of Illinois. The comparative length of 
 the Illinois, including Fox r. is about 400 
 m. falling into the Mississippi 20 m. above 
 its junction with the Missouri. The 
 length of the Illinois proper is about 
 2ti5 m. It is navigable, generally, tor 
 210 m. and at high water as far as Otta- 
 wa, about 220 m. The navigation of the 
 r. by steam and other vessels is consider- 
 able and fast increasing.

 1ST DZ ASIA, one of the United 
 States, bounded N. by Michigan and the 
 Lake, E. by Ohio, S. by Kentucky, and 
 W. by Illinois. Its greatest length from 
 N. to S. is 275 m. by 145 m. in breadth, 
 and contains about 38,000 square m. 
 
 The surface of the country is generally 
 level, with occasional broken and uneven 
 sections, which, however, are more par- 
 ticularly confined to the neighborhood 
 of the Ohio r. in the S. part of the 
 state. There are many prairies, some of 
 which are extensive, containing belts of 
 good timber on the streams which cross 
 them. 
 
 The climate is similar to that of Ohio 
 and Illinois, and is generally healthy, ex- 
 cept on the borders of Lake Michigan, 
 which are subject to heavy rains. The 
 winters are short, and not usually very 
 severe. 
 
 The soil is extremely rich and produc- 
 tive. The prairies are beautiful and well 
 adapted to the growth of wheat and In- 
 dian corn. But much of the country in 
 the N. part of the state is low, and too 
 wet for cultivation. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Ohio, which 
 forms thf S. border of the state — the Wa- 
 bash, White, White Water, Kankakee, 
 Salamanic and Mississinewa. 
 
 The chief towns are New Albany, Jef- 
 fersonville. Vinccnnes, Indianapolis, (the 
 
 capital of the state) Madison, and Law- 
 renceburg. 
 
 Indiana College was founded in 1827, 
 and is located at Bloomington. The U. 
 S. granted two townships of land to tliis 
 college. The general subject of common 
 school education had not been much at- 
 tended to, up to the year 1838, although 
 provided for in the constitution. 
 
 The population of the state has increas- 
 ed very rapidly. In 1800, it was only 
 5,641 ; 1810,24,520; 1820, 147,178; 1840, 
 685,866. 
 
 Indiana was visited as early as 1703 
 by the French traders and soldiers from 
 Canada, and some small settlements were 
 made, particularly on the Wabash, among 
 which was Vincennes. The settlers lived 
 a long time in almost entire seclusion 
 from the rest of the world. The savages 
 frequently harassed them and broke up 
 their settlements. In 1763, the country 
 passed by treaty into the hands of the 
 English, but it was merely nominal. Be- 
 fore 1800, Indiana was included in the 
 general territory N W. of the Ohio r. and 
 from ISOO to 1809, it was united in its 
 territorial government with Illinois. In 
 1816, it was admitted into the Union as a 
 state. 
 
 The settlers suffered so much from the 
 savages, that in 1811, Gen. Harrison v/as 
 sent against them with an armed force. 
 They encamped at Tippecanoe, near 
 Prophets town, where the Indians were 
 assembled to the number of 600 warriors. 
 After negotiation, in which the Indians 
 professed great friendship, they arose at 
 night and attacked the American cam.p 
 with horrid shouts tod yells. The troops 
 were at first thrown into confusion, but 
 were rallied, and succeeded in entirely de- 
 feating the savages. Two hundred Ameri- 
 cans fell in the battle. 
 
 Internal Improvements. — The public 
 improvements now in progress in this 
 state are — The Wdbash ^ Erie Canal, to 
 connect Lake Erie at Toledo, on the Mau- 
 mee Bay, with the Wabash r. at Terre 
 Haute. 
 
 The Central Canal connects the Wa- 
 bash and Erie Canal, at Peru, on the 
 Wabash r. with the Ohio r. at Evansville, 
 and is again connected with the Wabash 
 and Erie Canal at Terre Haute, by a 
 cross cut intersecting it at Point Com- 
 merce, at the mouth of Eel r. 40* m. long. 
 
 The White Water Canal is to connect 
 Cambridge City, on the national road, 
 with the Ohio r. at Lawrenceburgh, 76 ni. 
 A branch extends from the main canal at 
 Harrison to Cincinnati, Ohio. 
 
 The Madison (^ Lafayette Rail Road,

 (of which 2'2 m. are completod, from

 finished in 181'i. Length, 100 m. 
 
 In addition to these, two McAdamized 
 roads are in progress — one from JefFer- 
 sonville to Crawfordsvillc, connecting the 
 Ohio, opposite Louisville, with tlie Wa- 
 bash and Erie Canal — IT^S m. long; and 
 
 The New Albany df- Vincennes Road —

 KENTUCKY R. rises in the Cumber- 
 land Mountains, in the SE. part of Ky. 
 and flows NW. to the Ohio r. at Port 
 "William, Gallatin co. It is navigable in 
 high water for steamboats to Frankfort, 
 the capital. Length, 325 m. This r. flows 
 through a rich agricultural country, con- 
 taining coal, iron, salt and lumber, and a 
 population of 180,000. 
 
 KEKTTUCKY, one of the Uni- 
 ted States, is bounded N. by Indiana and 
 Ohio, E. by Virginia, S. by Tennessee, 
 and W. by Missouri and Illinois. Its 
 greatest length is 400 m. from E. to W. 
 Its mean breadth, N. and S. 140 m. — with 
 an area of 40,000 square m. or about 
 26,000,000 acres. 
 
 The state originally formed part of Va. 
 and was first settled by the celebrated Col. 
 Daniel Boone, the backwoodsman, who 
 built a log hut, and established himself 
 with his family, in the midst of great dif- 
 
 ficulties and discouragements, in 1769. 
 Lexington was founded in 177G. The 
 state was set apart from Va. in 1790, and 
 in 1792 it was admitted into tlie Union. 
 
 1'he citizens of Kentucky have always 
 been distinguished for their gallantry and 
 chivalry, which were particularly mani- 
 fested in their enthusiasm to share in the 
 toil and glory of the late war of 1812. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Ohio, which 
 forms the whole northern boundary, the 
 Kentucky, Licking, Green, Cumberland, 
 Tennessee, Salt, and Big Sandy r. which 
 forms half of the E. boundary. T);e 
 Kentucky r. flows through a chasm of 
 limestone several hundred feet perpendicu- 
 lar height. 
 
 The chief towns are Louisville, which 
 is the largest ; Lexington, which is the 
 oldest ; Maysville, and Frankfort, the 
 state capital. 
 
 The surface of the country is undula 
 ting and diversified, presenting but fe-vv 
 great elevations, except in the eastern part, 
 which is mountainous. A large portion 
 of the central section of the state is a rich 
 and most beautiful country, not surpassed 
 by any in the world. The soil generally 
 throughout the state is very fertile. 
 
 The climate is healthy and agreeable — 
 the winters seldom lasting longer than 
 three months. 
 
 The whole country W. of the moun- 
 tains rests on a bed of limestone from 8 
 to 10 feet below the surface. There are 
 many remarkable cavities, called " sink 
 holes," caused by the waters penetrating 
 through the limestone. Some of them are 
 60 feet deep, and 250 in circumference at 
 the top. 
 
 There are also a number of wonderful 
 caverns of great depth and extent. The 
 Mammoth Cave near Green River is the 
 most celebrated. It has been explored to 
 the extent of 15 m. without reaching tiie 
 termination. 
 
 Iron is found abundantly — also cop- 
 peras, lead and coal are found in diflferent 
 parts of the state. Salt springs are nu- 
 merous. 
 
 The principal agricultural productions 
 are wheat, hemp and tobacco. Indian 
 corn and cotton are also raised, and a 
 reat variety of fruits. 
 A great trade is carried on by river 
 navigation, in the various agricultural 
 productions. A large number of fine 
 horses and cattle are also raised and trans- 
 ported on flat boats down tlie rivers, or 
 driven across the mountains inio the At- 
 lantic states. 
 
 Of religious denominations, the Bap- 
 tists are the most numerous. There are

 KIN 
 
 also a lar?;e number of Presbyterians and 
 Metliodists. The Catholics and E|jisco- 
 puiians are less numerous. 
 
 There are several colleges in this state, 
 viz: The Transylvaiiiaii University, at 
 Lexinjiton; the Central Coilei^e, at Dan- 
 ville; Cumberland CoUcije, at Princeton; 
 a colieije at Augusta, and one at Geort^e- 
 town. Also a Catholic Seminary, callid 
 St. Joseph's Colleije, at Bardstown. Com- 
 mon school education has not yet received 
 that attention which its great importance 
 demands.

 rocks extends along the N. part. The 
 island is divided into three counties — 
 Kings, Glueens, and Suffolk. It was first

 liCUZSIiLZiTA, one of the Uni- 
 ted States, bounded on the N. by Arkan- 
 sas and Mississippi, E. by Mississippi and 
 the Gulf of Mexico, S. by G. of Mexico, 
 and W. by Texas. Its greatest length, 
 E. and W. is 320 m. Its greatest breadth 
 N. and S. 270 m. and contains about 
 48,000 square miles. 
 
 In 1682, part of the country was ex- 
 plored by La Salle, and called Louisiana 
 after Louis XIV. He began a settlement 
 in 1684 at the Bay of St. Bernard on the 
 G. of Mexico about 300 m. W. of the 
 mouth of the Mississippi. The Missis- 
 sippi r. had been already discovered in 
 1673 by two French missionaries, who 
 crossed from Cluebec, by way of the 
 Lakes, to the Mississippi, and down the 
 r. to the mouth of the Arkansas. 
 
 A more permanent settlement was made 
 in 1699 : and in 1717, the city of New 
 Orleans was founded. In 1763, Louis- 
 iana, which included Arkansas, INIissouri, 
 and all the territory now in possession of 
 the United States W. of the Mississippi 
 r. was ceded by France to Spain, but 
 was not taken possession of by that pow- 
 er until 1769. It was ceded back to 
 France in 1800 ; and in 1603 it was pur- 
 chased by the U. States for 60,000,000 
 francs, or over 15,000,000 dollars. In 
 1812 Louisiana, as at present defined, 
 was admitted into the Union as a sove- 
 reign State. In 1814 the State was in- 
 vaded by a British army under Gen. 
 Packenham, which, after several indeci- 
 sive actions, was completely repulsed 
 with great slaughter, by Gen. Jackson, 
 below New Orleans, Jan. 8, 1815. 
 
 Three-fourths of the surface of the state 
 may be considered an entire level — divid- 
 ed into swamps, prairies, alluvions, pine 
 forests, hickory and oak lands. The ele- 
 vations are very slight, and are principally

 in the western section. Some of the prairies 
 are of vast extent, containing from 5,000 
 to 8,000 square m. The Attakapas and the 
 Opelousas prairies are the largest. They 
 contain rich pasture for cattle, and are 
 fringed with forests of pine on the N. and 
 S. iVIany spots exhibit beautiful fertile 
 plantations, on which cotton and indigo 
 are cultivated, and large herds of cattle 
 may be seen quietly grazing. 
 
 A great portion of the state, amounting 
 to 5,000,000 acres, is annually inundated 
 by the waters of the Mississippi. Part 
 of this soil is of the greatest fertility, and 
 is susceptible of being drained — other 
 portions are composed of cypress swamps 
 and marshes. 
 
 Cotton is the great staple of the state, 
 but sugar is produced in great quantities 
 in the more elevated soil. Rice also is 
 produced on the banks of the Mississippi. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Missis- 
 sippi, Red r. Washita, Atchafalaya, 
 Black, Lafourche, Sabine, Tensaw, Cal- 
 casia and Beuff. The state abounds in 
 numerous lakes, the principal of which 
 are Lake Borgne, Pontchartrain, Sabine, 
 Calcasia and Barrataria. 
 
 The chief towns are New Orleans, the 
 capital of the state, Donaldsonville, St. 
 Martins, Alexandria, St. Francisville, Ba- 
 ton Rouge and Natchitoches — but N. Or- 
 leans is l\\e only town of considerable size. 
 
 The Catholic is the prevailing religion. 
 Other denominations do not number over 
 40 ministers. 
 
 There is a college at New Orleans, and 
 one at Jackson, and $40,000 annually are 
 appropriated for the education of the chil- 
 dren of the poor.

 gtate. Bear Grass cr. falls into the Ohio 
 above the town, and affords a good harbor 
 for steamboats and other vessels. The 
 city is neatly built, and contains some 
 handsome public buildings. The site of 
 the town rises gradually from the river, 
 and presents a fine prospect of the river 
 and opposite shore. The commerce on 
 the r. is very extensive, and the enterpris- 
 ing citizens of Louisville have done much 
 in various manufactures. As an evidence 
 of the rapid increase of the place, the 
 population in 1800 amounted to 1,350, and 
 in 1840 to 21,210. Dist. 52 m. N. of

 lift AINU, one of the U. States, 
 in the NE. part, is bounded N. and NW. 
 by Lower Canada, E. by New Brunswick, 
 S. by the Atlantic Ocean, and W. by 
 New Hampshire. It lies between 43^^ .V 
 and 48=" 6' N. lat. and 66>^ 49' and 71" 
 W. long, from Greenwich.* Its greatest 
 length is 348 m — greatest breadth, 180 m. 
 Area about 33,300 square m. 
 
 The country was originally granted to 
 the Council of Plymoutli by James I. in 
 1606, who attempted a settlement at the 
 mouth of the Kr nnebeck r. which failed. 
 In 1624 the company granted it to Gorges 
 and Mason, unaer whom it was first per- 
 manently settled in 1630. Massachusetts 
 purchased the territory of them, and in 
 1691 her charter embracing it was con- 
 firmed. It remained a district of Massa- 
 chusetts until 1820, when it became a 
 separate state, and was admitted into the 
 Union. 
 
 The surface of the country, though not 
 mountainous, presents some broken ridges 
 in continuation of the Appalachian range ; 
 and occasional elevations which rise sev- 
 eral thousand feet. A range of high- 
 lands enters the state from the N. part 
 of New Hampshire and runs parallel 
 with the St. Lawrence, continuing a north- 
 erly and westerly course, intersecting the 
 N. and S. line which forms the E. boun- 
 dary of Me. These are the highlands 
 which divide the waters which flow into 
 the St. Lawrence from those which flow 
 into the Atlantic. There are other con- 
 siderable elevations in irregular groups, 
 of which the principal are the Katahdin, 
 White Cap, Saddleback, Ebeeme and 
 Spcncc Mountains. The Katahdin is 
 .'j,375 feet high ; several of the others are 
 from 3,500 to 4,000 feet above tide. 
 
 The winters are generally severe. The 
 ground is covered with snow in the inte- 
 
 Thp limits here given are nccording to tlie Anieri- 
 ran ciiiiin under the treaty of Ghent, <le.srritiing the 
 houndary in. these wonls :— " From the northwest an-

 rior and southern parts for three or four 
 months in the year, and in the forests and 
 mountainous reo;ions for five months. 
 The summers are hot, but not sufficiently 
 long for the favorable cultivation of Indian 
 corn, thou2;h a considerable quantity is 
 raised. The longest season of vegetation 
 is between the 20th April and 15th Oc- 
 tober. 
 
 The soil is extremely various. Be- 
 tween the rivers Kennebeck and Penob- 
 scot it is very fertile, and favorable to the 
 gi'owth of wheat and other grains. Along 
 the coast it is generally of a poorer quali- 
 ty. The country abounds in timber, 
 which may be considered its chief pro- 
 duction. Much of the land is well adapt- 
 ed to grazing. 
 
 The principal lakes are the Moosehead, 
 .50 m. long by 12 broad ; Umbago Lake, 
 (partly in N. H.) 18 m. long by 10 broad ; 
 Chesuncook Lake, 20 m. long by 3 broad, 
 and Sebago Pond, 12 m. long. The state 
 abounds in numerous smaller lakes and 
 ponds. 
 
 There are numerous islands on the 
 coast. The principal are Mount Desert, 
 Grand Menan, Deer Island and the Fox 
 Islands. 
 
 The principal bays are Penobscot, Pas- 
 samaquoddy, Frenehman's, Casco and 
 Portland harbor. There are many other 
 fine harbors favorable for commerce. 
 
 The chief rivers are the Penobscot, 
 Kennebeck, Androscoggin, Saco, St. 
 Johns and St. Croix. Abundance of fish 
 are taken all along the coast. 
 
 Iron abounds in many parts of the state, 
 and lead is found in small quantities. 
 Slate of a superior quality exists between 
 the Kennebeck and St. Johns rs. Marble 
 is found on the Penobscot, and good 
 building granite abounds in all parts of 
 the state. Lime is abundant in Waldo 
 and Lincoln cos. 
 
 The principal towns are Portland, the 
 former capital, Hallowell, Augusta, the 
 present state capital, Bath, Brunswick, 
 York, Saco, Bangor, Waldoboro, Ma- 
 chias, Wiscasset, Eastport and Kenne- 
 bunk. 
 
 The state has many respectable insti- 
 tutions of learning. Bowdoin College, 
 at Brunswick, founded from lands grant- 
 ed by Hon. James Bowdoin, in 1794, 
 and other lands from Massachusetts and 
 Maine. Waterville College, incorporated 
 in 1813. Bangor Theological Seminai-y. 
 Maine Wesleyan Seminary, at Readfield, 
 incorporated in 1822. Gardiner Lyceum, 
 established in 1822, to prepare young men 
 by a scientific education to become skilful 
 farmers and mechanics. 
 
 Besides these, there are about 35 incor« 
 porated academies, aided by grants of 
 land from the stale. The state has also 
 provided for common school instruction, 
 A sum equal to 40 cents for each inhabi- 
 tant is raised bylaw in every town, to be 
 apportioned among the school districts.

 locks. It was completed in 1829. By 
 means of a lock in Songo r. it is united 
 with Brandy and Long Ponds, making 
 the whole water communication 50 m. 
 Total cost, near $250,000. 
 
 The Bangor tf- Orono Rail Road, from 
 Bangor to Orono or Oldtown, 10 m. long, 
 completed in 1830. No other canal or

 A rail road has been projected from the 
 coast of Maine to duebec, and a recon- 
 noisance of three routes has been made 
 by Col. Long, of the United States Topo- 
 graphical Engineers. The route from 
 Portland to Gluebec, 277 m. is estimated 
 to cost S2,440,000. The route from Wis- 
 casset to Gluebec, 246 m. ; cost, S'l)963,500. 
 Tlte route from Belfast to duebec, 227 m. ;

 TaAIiY^JsAND, one of the U. 
 States, is bounded N. by Pennsylvania, 
 E. by Delaware and the ocean, S. &W. 
 by Virjjinia. 
 
 Maryland was first explored by 
 Lord Baltimore, a Catholic, who visited 
 the country to form a settlement on ac- 
 count of the persecution of that sect in 
 England. He died on his return to Eng- 
 land, while preparing for emigration. 
 His son obtained the grant of the territo- 
 ry, and named it Maryland, in honor of 
 Henrietta Maria, the Q.ueen of Charles I. 
 He appointed his brother, Leonard Cal- 
 vert, governor of the colony, who estab- 
 lished a settlement in 1634, at St. Mary's, 
 on the Potomac. The Catholics were se- 
 verely persecuted for some years after, 
 and the colonists experienced various 
 troubles, which were removed at the 
 restoration of Charles II. in 1G60. The 
 Calvert family were a second time de- 
 prived of the government, by William 
 and Mary, and Maryland continued a 
 royal government until 1716, when the 
 proprietor was again restored to his rights. 
 On the 14th of August, 1776, the consti- 
 tution of the State was ratified. 
 
 The only mountains are along the N. 
 bank of the Potomac, where the Appala- 
 chian ridge crosses a narrow strip of tlie 
 State. The rest of the State is generally 
 undulating and level. 
 
 ^^here is much good land in the State, 
 a<lapted to the cultivation of wheat and 
 tobacco. The valleys in the W. part of 
 the State particularly, are extremely fer- 
 tile and productive. 
 
 The climate is rather milder than that 
 of Pennsylvania, and somewhat warmer 
 in summer. The weather is liable to sud- 
 den changes of heat and cold. In the 
 low land.i, on the shores, it is subject to 
 intermittent fevers; but in the more ele- 
 vated and undulating sections, the climate 
 is salubrious and healthy. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Potomac, 
 Susquenannan, Patuxent, Patapsco, and 
 the Severn, which full into Chesapeake 
 Bay on the W. side. On the E. side are 
 Chester, Choptank and Nanticoke rs, 
 
 TheN. half of Chesapeake Bay pene- 
 trates far into the interior, dividing the 
 State into two sections, called the Eastern 
 nnd Western shores. The principal 
 islands are Kent island, the Tangier 
 islands, and Assatiegue island. 
 
 The chief tc wns are Baltimore, the com- 
 mercial metropolis, Annapolis, and Fred- 
 ericktown. 
 
 Maryland, though not called a manu- 
 facturing State, contains numerous man- 
 ufactories of cotton, wool, copper, and 
 iron-rolling and flouring mills. Flour is 
 the great staple of the State ; and tobacco 
 is also produced in considerable quan- 
 tities. 
 
 Washington College, at Chestertown, 
 was instituted inl78"2; St. John's College, 
 at Annapolis, was founded in 1784. The 
 Medical College was founded in Balti- 
 more, 1807, and in 1812, was chartered 
 as the " University of Maryland" — hav- 
 ing added to it the faculties of Law and 
 Divinity. St. Mary's College at Balti- 
 more, a Catholic institution, was founded 
 in 1799. The College at Mt. St. Mary, 
 near Emmitsburg, also Catholic, was 
 founded in 1830.

 Internal Improvcmcnis. — Two of the 
 most important improvements in the U. 
 States have been undertaken in Mary- 
 land. The C/icsapcake <f- Ohio Canal, 
 and the Baltimore (f- Ohio Kail Road. 
 
 The Chesapeake tf- Ohio Canal was 
 chartered by Virginia in 1824, confirmed 
 by Maryland and Congress, 1825, and 
 commenced in 1828. It is to extend from 
 the Potomac, near Georgetown, to Cum- 
 berland on the Potomac ; thence by Wills 
 cr. Youghiogeny and Monongahela rs. 
 to Pittsburg. Length 34U m. Distance 
 from Geors:ctown to the Pennsylvania 
 State line, 189 m. The original estimate 
 of cost was S22,875,000. A later esti- 
 mate is S9,347,408. The State of Mary- 
 land subscribes $3,000,000 for the work, 
 and the U. States Government SI, 000,000. 
 
 The whole lockage required will be 
 3,215 feet. The locks are to be 100 feet 
 by 15. Breadth of the canal at the sur- 
 face of the water, from 60 to 80 feci; at 
 the bottom, 50 feet; depth from 6 to 7 
 feet. A tunnel is required through the 
 Alleghany mountains, at the s jmmit level, 
 4 m. and 80 yards in length. 
 
 Port Deposit Cunal, 10 m. long, along 
 the E. bank of the Susquehannah r. ex- 
 tends from Port Deposit to the boundary 
 of the State — designed to overcome th« 
 rapids.

 The BaUimore if Ohio Rail Road, 
 was incor|ioraled in 18-27, by the Legis- 
 'atures of Maryland, Virginia, and Penn- 
 sylvania, commenced July 4, 1828 — to 
 extend from Baltimore to the Ohio river, 
 about 3G0 m. $f3,000,000 of the slock 
 have been subscribed by the State of Ma- 
 ryland, and S3,000,000 by the city of Bal- 
 timore. A considerable portion of the 
 road is completed and in operation. 
 
 The BaUimore cf- Port Deposit R. Road, 
 originally designed to connect with the 
 Oxford and Columbia rail roads to Phila- 
 delphia extends from Baltimore to Ha- 
 vre de Grace, 5 in. below Port Deposit ; 
 and from Baltimore 34J m. From a 
 point opposite to Havre de Grace, the 
 Wilmington & Susquehannah rail road 
 continues the route to the line between 
 Delaware and Pennsylvania. Thence the 
 Philadelphia & BaUimore rail road com- 
 pletes the communication to Pliiladelphia. 
 The whole distance by this route is S3 m. 
 The route by way of the Oxford & Co- 
 lumbia rail roads, would be 118 m. The 
 Oxford rail road is for the present sus- 
 pended. 
 
 The Baltimore <^ Washington Rail 
 Road, 40 m. long, was completed in 1835. 
 The BaUimore tf- Susquehannah Rail 
 Road, to extend from Baltimore to York, 
 Pa. 59j m. was begun in 1830, and 
 considerable progress has been made in 
 the sections within the State of Maryland.

 Although Cabot, when he discovered 
 North America in 1497, sailed along the 
 coast of Massachusetts, yet no regular 
 discovery was made until 1602, when 
 Bartholomew Gosnold explored Cape Cod 
 and Buzzard's Bay. Capt. Smith, in 
 1G14, explored the whole coast of Maine 
 and Massachusetts, to the S. extremity 
 of the bay. The flourishing descriptions 
 he gave of the country induced Charles 
 I. then Prince Charles, to call it New- 
 England. No regular settlement, how- 
 ever, was made until December 22d, 1G20, 
 when the Puritans, to the number of 101, 
 emigrated to America on account of their 
 persecutions in England. They landed 
 at Plymouth, and established a republican 
 form of government, on the princiiiles of 
 virtue and intelligence. Every cliild in 
 the community was to be instructed. Re- 
 ligion was an object of special care with 
 the colonists, which extended even to the 
 })rivilege of voting being confined to the 
 church members. Other settlements were 
 soon made along the coast. Salem was 
 founded in 1627, and Boston in 1630, 
 The hardships and dangers of the early 
 settlers were very great. The first gene- 
 ral court, consisting of 24 representatives 
 from the difterent settlements, was held in 
 1634. Previous to this, all the freemen 
 assembled from time to time for the trans- 
 action of public business. Trial by jury 
 was now established. In 1643, a union 
 took place between all the New England 
 colonies. In 1664, the province of Maine 
 placed itself under the protection of Mas- 
 sachusetts. The colonists suflTercd much 
 in a war with Philip, which broke out in 
 
MAS 
 
 177 
 
 MAS 
 
 1675. The colony of Massachnsptts Bay 
 and thf\t of Plyraoiuh, or the Old Colony, 
 were united by a royal charter in lt)9J. 
 The irovnrnors were appointed by the 
 king of Enj^land, who exercised the power 
 also of annulling the colonial laws. This 
 was the g.ni-ral condition of the colony 
 until the revolution, in 1776, in which 
 Massachusetts look a foremost and active 
 part. A state constitution was formed in 
 1780, which was revised in 1820, and 
 again revised and ratified in Nov. 183G. 
 A serious insurrection broke out in the 
 state in 178G, luider Shays, which was 
 not quelled without tjreat difficulty by the 
 troops and militia under Generals Lincoln 
 and Shepaid. 
 
 The general surface of the country is 
 somewhat rough and uneven, without any 
 very considerable mountains. The Green 
 Mountain range of Vermont enters the 
 W. part of Massachusetts, which are here 
 called the Hoosac and Tagkannuc ridges. 
 Of the latter, the highest elevation is Sad- 
 dle Mountain, in the N. part, near 4,000 
 feet high; and Tagkannuc Mountain, 
 2,800 feet high. The Hoosac range is 
 less elevated, and divides the branches of 
 the Hoosac and Housatonic rs. The 
 other highest elevations are Wachusett 
 Mountain, in Worcester co. : Mount Hol- 
 yoke and Mount Tom, in Hampshire co. 
 and Mount Toby, in Franklin co. 
 
 The chief rivers are the Connecticut 
 and its tributaries, Westfield, Dcerfield, 
 Millers and Chickopee rs. ; the Merri- 
 mac, Housatonic, Hoosac, Quinnebaug, 
 Pawtucket, Charles, Concord, Taunton 
 and Nashua rs. Of these, only two afford 
 much fiicility for navigation. 
 
 The principal bays are Massachusetts, 
 Cape Cod, Buzzards, Boston, Barnstable 
 ana Plymouth Bays. 
 
 The principal islands are Nantucket, 
 Martha's Vineyard and Elizabetli Islands. 
 The prominent capes are Cape Cod, Cape 
 Ann and Nahant. 
 
 The winters are occasionally severe, 
 but less so than formerly. Early in the 
 spring, the NE. winds are cold and disa- 
 greeable, but the weather in May and 
 during the summer becomes settled, mild 
 and agreeable. The country assumes a 
 rich and beautiful appearance, the air is 
 pure and healthy, and art and nature seem 
 to vie in rendering the whole face of things 
 deliiflut'iil to the eye. 
 
 The middle and western sections of the 
 state contain many beautiful, fertile tracts, 
 in a high stale of cultivation. In the 
 southern and eastern parts the soil is 
 lishler, and on the const there arc occa- 
 •ional marshy and barren tracts.

 The commerce of Massachusetts is cx« 
 tensive, and second only to that of New 
 York. Much of the shipping is employed 
 in the mackerel, cod and whale fisheries. 
 The whale fishery is carried on chiefly 
 from Nantucket and New Bedford. This 
 adventurous business has been justly con- 
 sidered as a nursery of skilful and enter- 
 prising seamen. 
 
 This slate is distinguished for her man- 
 ufactures of every description. Th.e most 
 considerable are those of cotton, woollens, 
 boots and shoes, leather, cordage, wrought 
 and cast iron, nails, hats, straw bonnets, 
 glass, paper, oil and salt The most 
 extensive manufactories are situated in 
 Lowell, Waltham, Taunton, Fall River 
 and Amesbury. 
 
 The principal towns are Boston, Salem, 
 New Bedford, Gloucester, Nantucket, 
 Springfield, Lowell, Newburyport, Lynn, 
 Marblehead, Plymouth, Worcester, Fall 
 River, Northampton and Haverhill. 
 
 Massachusetts contains many excellent 
 literary institutions, among which are 
 Harvard University, at Cambridge, found- 
 ed in 1C38, principally from a donation 
 of John Harvard ; Williams College, at 
 Williamstown, founded in 1755; Am- 
 herst College, near Northampton, founded 
 in 1821 ; the Theological Seminary at 
 Andover, founded in 1807. Besides these, 
 there are numerous highly respectable in- 
 corporated academies in the slate. 
 
 Common school instruction is also lib- 
 erally provided for all the children in the 
 state. The amount raised by tax in the 
 towns for common schools, according to 
 the report of 1837, was S39l,993;'by 
 voluntary contribution, S47,593; paid for 
 tuition in private schools and academies, 
 $326,642: total, 8766,228. Sum appor- 
 tioned by law from the school fund, 
 S19,002. 
 
 According to the revision of the con- 
 stitution in 1836, the number of represen- 
 tatives in the Legislature is reduced trom 
 631 to 417. Each town or city having 
 300 ratable polls, may elect one represen- 
 tative, and for every 450 in addition to 
 the first 300, one representative more. 
 Formerly one representative was chosen 
 for every 150 ratable polls, and one for 
 every additional 225. 
 
 Population at various periods : In 1790, 
 96..'S10; 1800, 422,845; 1810, 472,040; 
 1820, 523,287; 1830, 610,408; and in 
 1840, 737,699. 
 
 According to the returns of March, 
 1837, the number of paupers the preced- 
 ing year was 5,580, of which 3,T20 were 
 born in Massachusetts, 633 in other states, 
 and 1,192 in foreign countries.

 Canada and Lake Erie ; S. by Ohio and 
 Indiana, and W. by Lake Michigan and

 about 40,000 square m. Pop. 212,276, 
 
 The earliest settlements in Michigan 
 
 were made by the French, from Canada, 
 
 at Detroit, in 1670; but little increase was 
 made in the number of its inhabitants for 
 the next century. The United States did 
 not obtain actual possession of the country 
 until 1796. A territorial government was 
 established in 1805. During the war of 
 1812, the country was overrun by the 
 British troops, and recovered by Gen. 
 Harrison the following year. Since that 
 period, and especially in late years, the 
 increase of population has been rapid be- 
 yond all anticipation. On the 11th May, 
 1835, a convention assembled at Detroit, 
 to form a constitution for the state, which 
 was ratified in October; and on the 26lh 
 of January, 1837, Michigan was admitted 
 into the Union, by an act of Congress. 
 
 The surface of the country is generally 
 level, gently inclining E. & W. present- 
 ing but few elevations. A ridge of table 
 land in the centre of the state divides the 
 streams which flow into Lake Michigan 
 from those which flow into Lakes Huron, 
 St. Clair, and Erie. 
 
 The climate is mild and pleasant, but 
 frequently subject to extremes of heat and 
 cold. The winters ai-e less severe than 
 formerly, except in the northern parts. 
 
 The soil is exceedingly fertile — produ- 
 cing wheat, corn, and other grain, and 
 grass in great abundance. A considerable 
 portion of the country is rich prairie, inter- 
 spersed with belts of beautiful woodland. 
 On the E. shore of Lake Michigan are 
 i-anges of sand hills, which rise from 100 
 to 300 feet high — blown up by the prevail- 
 ing west winds. The country abounds 
 with streams and small lakes. 
 
 The principal rivers are Grand r. St, 
 Josephs, Kalamazoo, Raisin, Huron, Sa- 
 ginaw, Maskegon, Flint, Pent Water, 
 Tittibawasse, and Monistic. 
 
 The principal towns are Detroit, the 
 capital, Monroe, Tecumseh, Brownstown, 
 Ann Arbour, Ypsilante, Pontiac, and 
 Dexter. 
 
 An act was passed on the 18th March, 
 1837, to establish the University of Mich- 
 igan, to consist of three departments: L 
 The department of literature, science, and 
 the arts; 2. Law; 3. Medicine; and to 
 have 26 professorships. The government 
 to be invested in a board of regents, con- 
 sisting of 12 members. The lands con- 
 stituting the funds of the university, are 
 estimated at 8921,000. 
 
 An act has been passed for a geological 
 survey of the state, under Dr. Houghton, 
 and $29,000 appropriated for that purpose. 
 
 The legislature have also organized a 
 system of common school instruction. A 
 valuable provision was made by congress^

 hy which a section of land in each town-

 Internal Improvements. A number of 
 important rail roads have been projected, 
 and incorporated, some of which have 
 been commenced. In March, 1837, an act 
 was passed establishing a system of inter- 
 nal improvcmeni, under the direction of a 
 board iif ciiiiimissioners, and a loan of 
 S5,00(),()00 was autliorized. 
 
 The board was directed to cause sur- 
 veys to be made of the three following 
 rail roads across the state: 
 
 1. The (.Central Bail liond, to extend 
 from Detroit to the mouth of St. Josephs r. 
 
 2. The Southern Hail Ron.d, to extend 
 from the navigable waters of the river 
 Raisin to New Buffalo, via Monroe. 
 
 3. The Northern Rail Road, to extend 
 from Palma, or the mouth of Black r. to 
 the navigable waters of Grand r. or to L. 
 Michigan. 
 
 The following rail roads have been pro- 
 jected by incorporated companies: 
 
 The Gilirnltar i^ Clinton Rail Road. 
 Capital, S' 100,000. 
 
 The Detroit (f- Shiawassee Rail Road. 
 Capital, S"'0O 000. 
 
 The Del r nit if* Maumee Rail Road, to 
 extend from Detroit to the river Maumee. 
 Capital, #,500 000. 
 
 The Toledo i^' Kalamazoo Rail Road, 
 to extend from the Toledo to tlie mouth of 
 the Kalamazoo. 
 
 Many other rail roads and canals have 
 been projected. 
 
 The legislature, in 1838, made appro- 
 priations tor internal imjirovements to the 
 amount of SI, 050.000, as follows : 
 For the Southern Rail Road, S3,')0,000

 A settlement was made at Natchez, in 
 this state, by the French, in 1716, who 
 built a fort there. But as the territory was 
 long in dispute between the French and 
 the Spanish, and afterwards between the 
 French and the English, further settlements 
 were retarded for many years. Great dif- 
 ficulties were experienced with the Indians, 
 who, in 1729, massacred all the French at 
 this post, including both sexes, several 
 hundred in number. The Indians were 
 soon after entirely subdued. The whole 
 country, in 1763, was ceded, as part of 
 
 Florida, by the French to Great Britain. 
 The territory, in 1781, again fell into pos- 
 session of Spain, by whom it was ceded 
 to the United States in 1798. It was or^ 
 ganized as a territory, including Ala- 
 bama; and in December. 1817, was ad- 
 mitted into the Union as a state. 
 
 The surface of the country in the S. 
 part is level, with some moderate eleva- 
 tions in the SW. In the N. it is gently 
 undulating. A portion of the state is 
 composed of pine barrens. The soil in 
 the S. part is thin, and in the neighbor- 
 hood of the Mississippi it is generally in- 
 undated by the overflowing of the river. 
 In the N. parts the soil is very fertile. 
 
 The climate is unhealthy in the low and 
 swampy lands, and in the S. parts of the 
 state, in the summer season. There are 
 no winters ; but ice is sometimes seen in 
 the N. parts. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Mississip- 
 pi, Pascagoula, Pearl, Yazoo, Big Black, 
 and branches of the Tombecbee. 
 
 The chief towns are Natchez, Monti- 
 cello, Warrenton, Vicksburg, and Jack- 
 son, the capital. 
 
 The northern part of the state was oc- 
 cupied until recently, by the Chickasaw 
 and Choctaw Indians, which is now all 
 organized into counties. The state con- 
 tains in all 56 counties. 
 
 There are three colleges — Jefferson Col- 
 lege, at Washington, near Natchez, found- 
 ed in 1802; Oakland College, founded in 
 1831 ; and Mississippi College, at Clinton, 
 founded in 1830. There are also several 
 very respectable academies. 
 
 According to a return made in 1837, 
 there were cultivated in 1836, 1,048,530 
 acres of land ; and in the same year, 
 317,783 bales of cotton were produced. 
 Population in 1816,45,929; 1820, 75,448; 
 1830, 136,806 ; 1840, 375,651. of which 
 164,393 were slaves.

 MISSISSIPPI R. for the extent of its 
 basin and coinmercial importance, and its 
 large and numerous tributaries, may be 
 justly considered the most important river 
 in the world. Its extreme source, as dis- 
 covered by Scoolcraft in 183-2, is Itasca 
 Lake, a little SW. of Cass Lake, 3,1G0 
 n. from its mouth, and 1,500 feet above 
 the level of the sea. The r. is navigable 
 to the Falls of St. Anthony. From these 
 falls to the mouth of the Missouri, the cur- 
 rent averages about "2 m. an hour, ; below 
 this it varies from 2 to 4 m. an hour. The 
 navigation is considerably obstructed by 
 sawyers and snags. The sawyers are 
 1 irge trees which have been swept into the 
 current by the floods and the falling banks; 
 their roots are at the bottom, and tlieir tops 
 at the surf;ice of the water. Snags are 
 trees which are fast on the bottom of the 
 river, and are dangerous at low water. 
 Many of these obstructions have been re- 
 moved by government. Steam boats as- 
 cend the river, with full cargoes, at the 
 rate of 7 or 8 m. an ho-.:r. They reach 
 Louisville from New Orleans, a distance 
 of about 1,()00 m. in 8 or 10 days. For- 
 merly, the time occupied in ascending the 
 river with keel boats, to the mouth of the 
 Ohio, OtJO m. was from 7 to 6 weeks, and 
 frequently longer. The ascending navi- 
 gation is now entirely confined to steam 
 boats, which has changed the whole as- 
 pect of business in the west. The first 
 steam boat on the Mississippi was built at 
 Pittsburg, in IHll. This noble stream is 
 now the channel for a great portion of 
 the trade of the eight states upon its bor- 
 ders and its tributaries. 
 
 At the mouth of the Missouri, the Mis- 
 sissippi is a mile and a half wide. Below 
 this, to the mouth of the Ohio, the aver- 
 age width is three quarters of a mile. Its 
 average width thence to its mouth, does 
 not exceed one mile. The annual flood 
 above the mouth of the Missouri com- 
 
 mences generally in March, and subsides 
 about the last of May. Its medium height 
 is 15 feet. Below the mouth of the Ohio, 
 the medial height is 50 feet; the highest 
 rise, GO. At Baton Rouse it is about 30 
 feet, and at N. Orleans, 12. During the 
 flood the river, below the Ohio, overflows 
 its banks in many places for 20 or 30 miles. 
 The plantations of Louisiana are protect- 
 ed by levees thrown up on the banks of 
 the river,principally between Baton Rouge 
 and New Orleans. It is a remarkable 
 circumstance, that, notwithstanding the 
 numerous large rivers which pour their 
 waters into the Mississippi, its v/idth is 
 rather diminished than increased below 
 the mouth of the Missouri. Its peacctul 
 waters, however, are changed into a more 
 turbid and violent current, and its chan- 
 nel is considerably deeper. At Donald- 
 sonville it is about 120 to 130 feet deep, 
 and at New Orleans about 100 feet. At 
 low water, above the mouth of the Ohio, 
 the channel is about 6 or 7 feet deep, and 
 above the mouth of the Missouri, to the 
 Des Moines rapids, it is about 4 or 5 feet. 
 
 The principal tributaries of the Missis- 
 sippi, are the St. Peters, St. Croix, Chip- 
 j)ewa, Wisconsin, Des Moines, Illinois, 
 Missouri, Ohio, St. Francis, White, Ar- 
 kansas, and Red rivers. 
 
 MISSISSIPPI, Valley of the, compre- 
 hends the vast region of country drained 
 by the Mississippi r. and its branches, be- 
 tween the Alleghany and Rocky moun- 
 tains — extending E. and W. from three to 
 five thousand miles. It abounds in soil 
 of unequalled fertility, and within the 
 states and organized territories, is rapidly 
 increasing in population. For a more par- 
 ticular description, see the notices of the 
 several states and territories. 
 
 MISSOURI R. the main stream of the 
 Mississippi, and in connection with that 
 river, the longest in the world. Although 
 the course of discovery has established the 
 name of the Mississippi for the stream 
 below the junction, yet the Missouri is 
 much the longer, and is already a consid- 
 erable river when it approaches and pass- 
 es the sources of the Mississippi. The 
 Missouri rises in the Rocky Mountains, 
 in three streams, called Jefferson, Madi- 
 son, and Gallatin rivers, lat. 44'^. W. Ion. 
 from Washington, between 32-^ and 34*-' ; 
 and from Greenwich between 111'-' and 
 113^. The entire length of the Missouri, 
 including the Mississippi below tlie junc- 
 tion, to the Gulf of Mexico, is 4,420 m. 
 j Length of the Missouri proper, to its 
 mouth in the Mississippi, according to the 
 estimate of Lewis and Clarke, 3,100 m. 
 I It is navigable from the Great Falls to the

 sen, 4,392 m. The principal tributaries 
 are tlie Yellow Stone, Running; Water, 
 Jacques, Platte, Kanzas, Grand and Osaj^e 
 rivers. The springs which form the re- 
 motest sources of the Oregon or Colum- 
 bia r. and the Missouri, are within one 
 mile of each other. The Great Falls are 
 2,575 m. from the Mississippi, where the 
 river descends 355 feet in 18 m. The 
 principal falls, fur grandeur and beauty, 
 are surpassed only by Niagara. The 
 river, which is hen; 840 feet wide, falls per- 
 pendiculary 96 ftet. The pass through the 
 Rocky Mountains, 110 m. above the falls, 
 presents the wildest and sublimest scenery 
 imaginable. The rocks rise perpendicu- 
 larly on each side of the river, from 1,000 
 to 1,200 feet, for a distance of 6 m. The 
 current of the Missouri is rapid, and more 
 difficult of ascent than the Mississippi. 
 From the Kanzas to the Mississippi, it 
 flows from 5 to 6 m. an hour ; and further 
 below it sometimes reaches 10 m. an hour. 
 The annual floods commence in March, 
 and the r. continues to rise and fall until 
 July, the li'j^hi'st being in June. The 
 ■whole course of the Missouri is within 
 the territory of the U. States. 
 
 IMXISS0X7RI, one of the United 
 States, is bounded N. by Iowa Territory, 
 E. by Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee, 
 and S. by Aikaiisas. Its medium length, 
 N. and S. is 282 m. ; E. and W. 200 m. ; 
 area, about .50.400 m. 
 
 The surface of this great state presents 
 the greatest variety of soil — from barren, 
 swampy and rocky to extremely fertile. 
 Much of it is rich and productive, par- 
 ticularly on the Missouri r. The climate 
 is mild and salubrious. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Missis- 
 sippi, which forms the E. boundary, the 
 Missouri, Osage, Grand, Chariton, Gas- 
 conade, Wi<i Black, Maramec and St. 
 Francis. The chief town is St. Louis. 
 Jefferson City is the capital. 
 
 One of the greatest peculiarities in this 
 state is the immense lead mines, which 
 cover an area of 3,000 square m. which 
 have produced from to 14 millions of 
 pounds of lead annually. Coal is also 
 found in abundance. 
 
 The principal agricultural productions 
 are wheat, corn, rye, oats, hemp, flax and 
 tobacco. 
 
 The principal rdis-ious denominations 
 are Baptists, Metliodists and Presbyte- 
 rian.s. There are also a considerable 
 number of Catholics. 
 
 Members of the Legislature are chosen 
 for two years. The trovernor for four 
 years, with a sahiry of ^1,500. 
 
 There are six colleges in the state, viz: 
 
 The University of St. Louis, (Cath. ;) St 
 Mary's, (Catholic;) Marion, at New Pal- 
 myra; St. Charles, Columbia and Fay- 
 ette. In Marion College there is a theo- 
 logical department. Provision is also 
 made bylaw forcommon school education. 
 
 Missouri was formerly part of the great 
 territory known by the name of Louisiana. 
 It became a state and was admitted into 
 the Union in 1820, after a severe struggle 
 in Congress on the question of receiving 
 it as a slave state.

 New Hampshire was discovered by 
 Capt. Smith in 1614. In 1022 it was 
 granted by patent to John Mason, under 
 rhe name of Laconia. The first settle- 
 ments were made in the following year, 
 at Dover and Portsmouth. In 1629, all 
 the territory, including lands purchased 
 of the Indians by Rev. John Wheelwright, 
 between the Merrimack and Piscataqua 
 rs. and extending 60 m. from the sea, was 
 called New Hampshire. In 1641, all the 
 settlements voluntarily united themselves 
 to Massachusetts, and composed part of 
 the county of Norfolk. In 1679 they were 
 made a separate province, by Charles II. 
 
 The first General Assembly convened at 
 Portsmouth, in 1680. In 1681) it was 
 again united to Massachusetts, and again 
 separated in 1692. From 1702 to 1741 it 
 was united to Massachusetts, when it be- 
 came a separate government. During 
 the revolution, it was under a temporary 
 administration. In 1784 a new constitu- 
 tion was adopted, which was amended in 
 1792. 
 
 The surface of the state within 20 or 
 30 m. of the seacoast is generally level. 
 In the N. and NW. parts it is hilly and 
 mountainous. The White Mountains, 
 in Coos CO. are considerable elevations, 
 and the highest in tlie United States. 
 There are several elevations of this ridge 
 between the Connecticut and Merrimack 
 rs. the principal of which are Monad- 
 nock, Sunapee, Kearsarge, Mooshelock, 
 (or Moosehillock,) and Carrs Mountain. 
 Moosehillock is over 4,000 feet high. 
 
 The soil generally is fertile, and par- 
 ticularly so along the rivers. Tlie hills 
 afford pasturage for immense numbers of 
 cattle and sheep. Some of the valleys 
 are poor, but one side or ihe other is most- 
 ly rich and productive. The climate is 
 less severe than in Maine. The rivers 
 are generally frozen in November, and 
 the earth is covered with snow, which 
 continues until April, and in the more 
 elevated and uncultivated sections, until 
 May. The summers arc mild and salu- 
 brious. Epidemics arc seldom known. 
 Iron, copper, plumbago and soapstoneare 
 found in this state. Beautiful granite 
 abounds near Concord, Hopkinton, Bos- 
 cawen and other places, and has given 
 this the appellation of the "granite state." 
 
 This state produces much excellent pine 
 timber, which grows here very high and 
 straight. The whole surface was origin- 
 ally covered with forest trees of all varie- 
 ties. Grain, pork, beef, butter and cheese 
 are produced, and much of the latter arti- 
 cles exported. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Connecti- 
 cut, which rises in the N. of the state, the 
 Merrimack and Piscataqua. The largest 
 lake is the Winnepiseogee. There are 
 some smaller lakes, such as Squam, Sun- 
 apee and Ossipee. New Hampshire has 
 but 18 m. of sea coast, and one harbor 
 and seaport, Portsmouth. 
 
 The principal towns are Portsmouth, 
 Concord, Dover, Exeter and Amherst. 
 Much of the produce of the state finds its 
 way into Maine, from the N. and into 
 Boston and Hartford from the S. and W. 
 There are large manufactories at Dover, 
 Somersworth and elsewhere, particularly 
 of cotton and wool.

 Seminary, in 1835, at Gihnanton. Phil- 
 lips Academy, at Exeter, was founded in

 ported in part by tax ; about one hun- 
 dred thousand dollars a year is thus rais- 
 ed, in addition to an income of 9 or 
 S10,000 from the Literary fund. There 
 are about 65,000 children in the state of a

 fui elms and shade trees, have a very strik - 
 ing effect. This city is much admired fo 
 its chaste and elegant appearance. Thu

 model of the Parthenon. Yale College, 
 one of the oldest in the country, founded 
 in 1700, is located here. There are also 
 many very respectable male and female 
 seminaries. The coasting trade, particu- 
 larly with New York, is considerable, 
 and steamboats daily arrive and depart.

 NEW JERSEY, one of the 
 United States, bounded N. by New York; 
 E. by N. York and the Atlantic Ocean; 
 S. by Delaware bay, and W. by Dela- 
 ware r. separating it from Del. and Pa. 
 Its greatest length N. and S. is 163 m. its 
 mean width 50— containing 8,300 square 
 miles. 
 
 The first settlement in N. J. was made 
 by the Danes, in 1624, at Bergen, oppo- 
 site N. Y. city. In 1627, tlie Swedes 
 formed a settlement on the W. bank of 
 the Delaware. In 1640 the English made 
 
NEW

 a setftement on the Delaware, but were 
 driven nway by the Swedes and Dutch. 
 
 In 1655, the Dutch of New York con- 
 quered tlie Swedes and sent tlicni all back 
 10 Europe. In 1664, the English took 
 possession of the country, and it was 
 granted to Lord Berkley and Sir Geor;t;e 
 Carteret, and was named New Jersey, in 
 compliment to the latter, who had been 
 governor of the Isle of Jersey. Tlie 
 Dutch afterwards reconquered the whole 
 country, but soon restored it by treaty. 
 In 1676, it was divided into East and 
 West Jersey, which were reunited in 
 1702. In 1776 a constitution was adopt- 
 ed. N. Jersey was ardently attached to 
 the principles of the revolution, and 
 among the first to accept the new consti- 
 tution of tiie U. States. 
 
 The S. portion of the state is level and 
 sandy, rising towards the N. into moun- 
 tainous ridges. There are many rich 
 valleys and sections highly productive of 
 wheat and com, which are the staples. 
 Iron, copper and copperas are found in 
 various parts. An elevated range of 
 land on the Hudson r. commences above 
 Hoboken, and extends up the river for 
 20 or 30 m. forming a high perpendicular 
 •wall of stone, called the Palisadocs. The 
 highest point is about 500 feet. The cli- 
 Kiate is mild and healthy. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Hudson 
 on the E. and the Delaware on the W. 
 the Raritan, Passaic, and Hackensack. 
 Newark and Amboy are the principal 
 bays. 
 
 The chief towns are Newark, New 
 Brunswick, Paterson, Elizabethtown, 
 Trenton, the state capital, Burlington, 
 Bordentown, and Perth Amboy. 
 
 The principal manufactories are at 
 Paterson, Newark, Trenton, and Belle- 
 ville. 
 
 The Legislature consists of a Council 
 and House of Assembly, chosen annu- 
 ally. The Council is composed of one 
 member from each county, and the As- 
 sembly of three from eacli county. The 
 Governor is elected annually by the legis- 
 lature. His salary is S2,000. 
 
 The College of New Jersey, at Prince- 
 ton, was founded in 1746 ; contains 12 
 instructors, 2,183 alumni, 240 students, 
 and H, 000 volumes in the two libraries. 
 Rutgers College, at New Brunswick, was

 NE W Orleans, city and capital of the 
 state of La. is situated on the N. bank of 
 a bend in the Mississippi r. 105 m. above 
 its mouth, and 90 in a direct line. It was 
 laid out in 1717, and named after the Duke 
 of Orleans of France. At high water 
 the ground on which the oity stands is 
 below the surface of the river, and is pro- 
 tected from inundation by a bank called 
 the levee. The city and suburbs extend 
 about three miles along the river, and over 
 
NEW 
 
 ^ 
 
 NEW 
 
 one-fourth of a mile back. Owing to the 
 spongy nature of the ground tlicre are no 
 cellars. The streets are narrow, and the 
 houses are built chiefly in the French and 
 Spanish style. Among the public build- 
 ings are a custom house, a town house, 
 liospital, U. S. mint, cathedral, market 
 house, a court house, an Ursuline convent, 
 and several churches and banks. This 
 city is the great depot of the vast and 
 growing trade of tlie Mississippi r. The 
 great region of the Mississippi Valley 
 must ever continue to pour in its resources 
 to augment the business and wealth of 
 the place. The levee is constantly crowd- 
 ed with ships and craft of all kinds ; and 
 dui-ing the cotton season, immense quanti- 
 ties of bales are piled up in the streets. 
 There are sometimes 1,500 flat bottom 
 boats in the harbor at a time. Steam- 
 l.)oats are constantly arriving and depart- 
 ing, and 50 or GO may often be seen to- 
 gether. Half the population are French 
 and Spanisii. The city is subject to en- 
 demics every summer, which sweep oft' 
 many strangers ; — yet the population has 
 rapidly increased. In 1810, it contained 
 17,ai2; in 1820, 27,178; in 1830,40,082 
 inhabitants. New Orleans was, the capi 
 tal of the colony under the Spanish until 
 ceded to France in 1803, and by France 
 it was given up to the United States in 
 1803. Distance SW. from Washington,

 151 m. S. of Albany ; 225 m. NE. from 
 Washington ; 89 ni. NE. from Philadel- 
 pliia ; and 207 m. SW. from Boston. 
 The city, as laid out, embraces the whole 
 of Manhattan Island. Bounded by Hud- 
 son, East, and Harlaem rs. and Spuyten 
 Duyvel cr. The compact built parts are 
 confined to the S. point, formed by the 
 junction of East and Hudson rs. The 
 first houses were built in 1G21. The bay 
 affords one of the most beautiful harbors 
 in the world, 9 m. long by 4 broad, with 
 Long Island on the east, Staten Island 
 on the south, and New Jersey on the west 
 side, having an outlet to the ocean be- 
 tween Staten and Long islands, called 
 the Narrows. The city is well protected 
 
 by forts at the Narrows and on Bedlows 
 and Governors islands. 
 
 The city was first settled by the Dutch, 
 in 1615, and called New Amsterdam. It 
 came into possession of the English, in 
 16G4, who called it New York, in honor 
 of the Duke of York. The streets in the 
 lower part of the city are irregular, and 
 were formerly very narrow ; but within a 
 few years past great improvements have 
 been made, at immense expense, in widen- 
 ing and straightening them. A great 
 portion of this section has been rebuilt, 
 with large commodious stores. The dis- 
 astrous lire of Dec. 16, 1835, which de- 
 stroyed property to the amount of about 
 ^18,000,000, laid waste a large district of 
 tlie most valuable part of the city, which 
 has since been entirely rebuilt with ele- 
 gant substantial fire-proof stores, with 
 granite fronts. In the west side of the 
 town the streets are more regular ; and 
 above Houston-street, they are regularly 
 laid out east and west, running, north of 
 12th street, from river to river, up to 155th 
 street, nearly the entire extent of the isl- 
 and. These are intersected with wide 
 and beautiful avenues running north and 
 south. Broadway, which is the principal 
 street, is 80 feet wide and about 3 miles 
 long; contains many splendid stores and 
 private dwellings. It is the most public 
 promenade for tlie gay and fashionable, 
 and crowds of strangers from various 
 parts of the world. There arc several 
 beautiful rides on the avenues and roads 
 leading to Harlaem, Yorkville, Bloom- 
 ingdaie, and Mauhaltanville. There is 
 a rail road to Harlaem, through York- 
 ville, affording a rapid and cheap convey- 
 ance at all hours. Omnibuses are con- 
 stantly passing through the principal 
 streets, from one end of the city to an- 
 other. 
 
 Among the public buildings, the prin- 
 cipal are the City Hall, Merchants' Ex- 
 change, Custom House, Hall of Justice, 
 Astor House, Holt's Hotel, University, 
 Columbia College, St. John's, St. Paul's, 
 and Trinity churches, the Tabernacle, 
 St. Patrick's Cathedral, and several other 
 splendid church edifices, newly erected in 
 Duane and Grand streets, Broadway and 
 Lafayette-place. The City Hall stands 
 on the Park, which contains an area of 
 11 acres. The front of the building is of 
 white marble. It is 216 feet long, 105 
 broad, and 65 feet high in the centre. The 
 Hall of Record, east of the City Hall, 
 formerly a jail, is also a neat, chaste 
 building. In the rear, fronting on Cham- 
 bers-street, is a range of buildings 260 
 feet long, formerly tne Almshouse, now

 culled the New York Institution, and oc- 
 cupied for various purposes. The Mer- 
 chants' Exchange, now erecting, is to be 
 a magnificent structure, much larger than 
 the building destroyed at the great fire in 
 1835, occupying the entire front on Wall- 
 street, between William and Hanover. 
 The Custom House is a noble building 
 of marble, on the corner of Wall, Nas- 
 sau, and Pine streets. It is 177 feet long, 
 and 89 wide. Its model is the Parthenon. 
 The Astor Hotel is a plain massive build- 
 ing of granite, 201 feet on Broadway, oc- 
 cupying the whole front between Barclay 
 and Vesey streets, opposite the Park, 154 
 feet deep, and five stories high. It con- 
 tains between 300 and 400 rooms. Its 
 height is 77 feet. The dining-room is 
 100 feet by 40. The University of the 
 City of New York is a splendid building 
 of white marble, in the Gothic or English 
 collegiate style of architecture, fronting 
 Washington-square. It is 180 feet by 
 100. Tlie chapel in the centre receives 
 its light from a window 24 feet wide and 
 50 feet high. St. John's Chapel is an el- 
 egant building, with a spire 240 feet high. 
 An elegant park belongs to this cliurch, 
 occupying an entire square, opposite the 
 clun-ch. St. Patrick's Cathedral is 120 
 feet long by 80 wide, and is the largest 
 church in the city. St. Paul's Clnu'ch, 
 near the Park, is a fine building, with a 
 spire 234 feet high. Trinity Church is 
 one of the oldest in the city. It was first 
 built in 1606, burned in 177G, and rebuilt 
 in 1778. The spire is 198 feet high. 
 The graveyard attached to the church 
 contains, according to authentic records, 
 160,000 bodies, exclusive of those buried 
 there during the revolutionary war. Holt's 
 Hotel occupies the corner on Fulton, Pearl, 
 and Water streets ; is of marble, seven 
 stories high. Columbia College is a fine 
 stone building. It was established in 
 1754, under the name of Kings College, 
 which it retained until the revcTlution. 
 The Penitentiary is situated on Black- 
 wells Island ; an extensive stone build- 
 ing, the stone of which was wrought 
 from the quarries by the convicts. The 
 Mercantile Library Association, and the 
 Clinton Hall Association, have a fine 
 building on the corner of Nassau and 
 Beekman streets. The library contains 
 about 17,000 volumes, and is yearly in- 
 creasing. The Library Association is 
 composed of the merchants' clerks, a very 
 cnterjirising body of young men. Seve- 
 ral courses of lectures are delivered annu- 
 ally, on scientific and popular subjects. 
 The Lyceum of Natural History, and 
 the Stuyvesant Institute, have chaste and 
 
 elegant buildings on Broadway. The 
 Lyceum has a library and museum. The 
 N. Y. Society Library, founded in 1754, 
 has above 20,000 volumes. It has recent- 
 ly been united with the Athenffium. The 
 American Institute, incorporated in 1829, 
 was established for the encouragement of 
 domestic industry, in agriculture, manu- 
 factures, and the arts. The Mechanics' 
 Institute is somewhat similar in its de- 
 sign. Both societies have annual exhibi- 
 tions of specimens of American indus- 
 try. The New York Hospital, in Broad- 
 way, opposite Pearl-street, was founded 
 in 1771. It is supported, with its depen- 
 dencies, by funds from the state, $22,500 
 a year; and other incomes amounting to 
 about $70,000 a year. The Lunatic Asy- 
 lum, at Bloomingdale, is connected with 
 this institution. The Almshouse estab- 
 lishment, at Bellevue, on the East river, 
 embraces several large and commodious 
 buildings : and the Long Island Farms, 
 opposite Blackwells Island, where be- 
 tween 600 and 700 poor children are sup- 
 ported and educated. The Institution of 
 the Blind is one of t!ie most interesting 
 among the benevolent institutions. It 
 was incorporated in 1831. According to 
 the report of 1838, the whole number of 
 pupils since the commencement was 77 ; 
 of whom 64 remained. The pupils are 
 taught music, and to read by raised let- 
 ters, which they do with remarkable fa- 
 cility. The are instructed also in the va- 
 rious branches of arithmetic, geography, 
 grammar, &c., and several of the mechan- 
 ical branches, such as basket-making, 
 carpet-weaving, &c. The state appropria- 
 ted $12,000 towards the erection of a new 
 building, on condition that the institution 
 would raise $8,000 ; which has been done, 
 and the building, v/hich is to be a very 
 elegant structure, is ]iartly finished. The 
 Institution for the Deaf and Dumb is also 
 a highly meritorious charity, to which tjie 
 state appropriates annually about $17,500. 
 Tlie number of pupils is between 140 and 
 150. Its location is 3J miles from the 
 City Hall, on a plat of 10 acres, 9 of 
 which are leased from the corporation. 
 The Hall of Justice, on centre-street, is a 
 fine massive building, of Egyptian archi- 
 tecture. 
 
 Among other religious and benevolent 
 institutions, the following deserve partic- 
 ular notice. The American Bible Socie- 
 ty ; American Tract Society ; American 
 Home Missionary Society ; N. Y. Sun- 
 day School Union; General Protestant 
 Episcopal Sunday School Union ; N. Y. 
 Protestant Episcopal Education and Mis-

 The Apprentices Library was estab- 
 lished in 1820, by the General Society of 
 Mechanics and Tradesmen, who have 
 also an cvcellent school. The College of 
 Physicians and Surgeons is in u flourish- 
 ing state. College of Pharmacy, incor- 
 porated in 1831, to prevent impositions 
 and errors in tlie preparation of medicine 
 — a very meritorious institution. 
 
 There are four theatres, an opera house, 
 and three principal public gardens for 
 amusement — Niblo's, Vauxhall, and Cas- 
 tle gardens. The Battery, at the extreme 
 south point of the city, is a beautiful pro- 
 menade, favored with the sea breeze, and 
 a delightful prospect of the bay. Wash- 
 ington Square is another public walk, 
 adorned with shade trees. St. John's 
 Park is not open to the public. There 
 are several other squares, but none are 
 open for public resort except the Park. 
 
 New York is destined to continue, as 
 it now is, the commercial metropolis of 
 the Union. From its centfal position, its 
 proximity to the sea, and favored with a 
 harbor that can be entered at all seasons, 
 and an extensive inland trade by means 
 of its rivers, canals, and rail roads, its 
 great facilities for commerce are unrival- 
 led in this country, and perhaps in the 
 world. The amount of duties paid into 
 this port for several years, is as follows :

 Previous to the general banking law, 
 passed by the legislature in 1838, the 
 banking capital of the ciiy amounted to 
 Sl6,611,-200. Under that law, several 
 banking associations have been establish- 
 ed with large capitals, including a branch 
 of the Pennsylvania Bank of the United 
 St^ites.

 The public schools are justly the pride 
 ofthecity. They are 17 in number; the 
 buildings are large and convenient, two 
 stories high, with a basement. Thero 
 are also 28 primary schools, two African 
 public schools, and 6 primary African 
 schools ; the whole under the management 
 of the Public School Society, composed 
 of some of the most respectable and be- 
 nevolent individuals. The number of 
 scholars is about 14,500; the number 
 taught for the year ending May 1, 1837, 
 was 17,932 scholars between the ages of 
 4 and 16 years. The average number in 
 actual attendance was about 10,000 ; t4ie 
 board of trustees are between 80 and 90 
 in number, divided into sections, one of 
 which is attached to each of the buildings. 
 The annual receipts from the Commis- 
 sioners of the Scliool Fund, are from 
 S85,000 to S90,000. Expenses for teachers 
 and monitors, about $50,000. Other ex- 
 penses, including building, repairs, fix- 
 tures, fuel, stationery, &c. ;:t40,000. All 
 children have the privilege of attending 
 these schools free of charge, not as charity 
 or free schools, but as the common right 
 of all. The teachers are of the highest 
 character for moral worth and mental 
 qualification ; and all the branches of 
 English education are taught. 
 
 The city is governed by a mayor and 
 common council, consisting of a board of 
 aldermen, and a board of assistant alder- 
 men. Each ward elects an alderman and 
 an assistant. The corporation owns o 
 large real estate, which is constantly in- 
 creasing in value. 
 
 Besides the splendid lines of packets to 
 Europe, there is now a regular line of 
 steam packets just established between 
 this city and Eiigland, the average pas- 
 sages of which are reduced to half the or- 
 dinary time of the regular packet ships ; 
 forming a new and important era in steam 
 navigation. 
 
 Tlie city at present is poorly supplied 
 with water. The principal supply is 
 from the Manhattan Works, and the 
 wells. The corporation have erected 
 reservoirs in 13th street, and laid pipes 
 through the principal streets for the supply

 of water to extinguish fires only. But it 
 is now engaged in the great work of 
 bringing llie waters of the Crotou r. 41 
 m. distant, to the city, in a stone aque- 
 duct. Tiie supply of the r. is estimated 
 at from 30 millions (the minimum) to 50 
 millions of gallons daily. The cost of 
 the work is estimated at ^5,412,3o6. 
 
 The city contained in 1656, 120 houses. 
 In 1696, the population was 4,302 ; in 1771

 1834— 9,082 
 
 1835— 7,033 
 
 1836— 8,009 
 
 Of those who died in 1836, 5,721 were 
 natives of the U. States; 1,378 of Ireland; 
 313 of England; and 213 of Germany. 
 
 There are 160 churches in the city, of 
 which 136 have been founded since the 
 year 1800. Of the whole number, there 
 are 38 Presbyterian ; 28 Episcopalian ; 
 25 Methodist ; 23 Baptist ; 16 Dutch Re- 
 formed; 7 Catholic; and 23 churches of 
 all the other denominations. 
 
 There are ten large and five small 
 daily papers; nine semi- weekly, about 
 thirty-two weekly papers, and twenty 
 monthly and quarterly periodicals. 
 
 WE'W "STORK, one of the U. 
 States, bounded N. by Lake Ontario and 
 Canada ; E. by Vermont, Massachusetts 
 and Connecticut ; S. by N. Jersey and 
 Pennsylvania ; W. by Pennsylvania, 
 Lake Erie, and Niagara r. and NW, by 
 St. Lawrence r. Greatest length E. and

 New York was first explored by Henry 
 Hudson, an English navigator, in the 
 employ of the Dutch East India Compa- 
 ny ; who in 1609, sailed 150 m. up the 
 r. which has taken his name. Settle- 
 ments were made by the Dutch in 1612, 
 at Fort Orange, now Albany, and Fort 
 Am.sterdam, now New York; and a trade 
 with the natives was established at these 
 
 ♦The Comptroller's report of 1837, gives 
 27,650.358 acres, which does not include 
 the smaller lakes, &c. 
 
 places. Considerable difficulties existed 
 between the Dutch and the English for 
 some time, the latter disputing the claims 
 of the Dutch to the country ; which how- 
 ever were at length acquiesced in. The 
 territory of the Dutch colony, though not 
 accurately defined, was considered to ex- 
 tend from Fort Goed Hoop, on Connecti- 
 cut r. to Fort Nassau, on Delaware r. 
 In 1664, Charles II. set up anew the Eng- 
 lish claim to the whole country, from 
 Nova Scotia to Delaware bay, and grant- 
 ed it to his brother, the Duke of York and 
 Albany, and immediately despatched a 
 fleet and took possession of it. The 
 name of the colony was changed to New 
 York. On the breaking out of the war 
 between the Dutch and English in 1673, 
 New York fell into the hands of the 
 Dutch, but was restored to the English 
 the next year, by treaty. It now remain- 
 ed a British colony until the revolution ia 
 1776. During the wars with the French, 
 the northern parts of the colony were the 
 scenes of several bloody contests with the 
 French and savages of Canada. In 1790, 
 Vermont, which had before formed part 
 of N. Y. was formed into a separate state. 
 
 The general surface of the state is ele- 
 vated, having several great basins and 
 valleys formed by the lakes and the large 
 rivers. The Appalachian chain of moun- 
 tains enters the state from N. Jersey and 
 Pennsylvania, and is broken by the Hud- 
 son r. along whose shores it is called the 
 Highlands. The Cattskill mountains W. 
 of the Hudson, the highest in the state, 
 are from 3,000 to 3,800 feet above the 
 tide. In the N. part of the state is an- 
 other elevated region called the Peruvian 
 mountains, among which are the sources 
 of the Hudson. Their highest summit 
 is near 3,000 feet. 
 
 The climate is varied by the extent of 
 surface embraced in this state. Along 
 the Hudson as far up as the Highlands, 
 and in the neighborhood of N. Y. city, 
 the climate partaking of the sea air, is 
 milder than in the interior, the winds 
 from the ENE. & SE. generally bringing 
 rain. In the N. parts of the state, above 
 the Highlands, the weather is more se- 
 vere in winter, and snow lays longer. 
 The ice in the Hudson usually breaks up 
 about the 10th or 15th of March. The 
 climate in the middle and western section, 
 though a few degrees colder than in the 
 SE. pai-t, is considerably less so than in 
 the elevated regions in the N. and E. parts 
 of the state. 
 
 The soil is generally diversified. Along 
 the valley of the Mohawk it is extremely 
 fertile, and productive of wheat, Indian 
 
NEW

 NEW 
 
 corn, &c. but best adapted to the latter. 
 A large district extending from Cayuga 
 lake W. including the entire valley of 
 Genesee r. is celebrated for the growth of 
 wheat. Some of the finest flour is sent 
 from this region to the N. Y. market, 
 where it always commands a high price. 
 The E. part of L. Island contains sandy 
 plains; the W. part is a better soil, and 
 highly cultivated. The principal pro- 
 ductions of the state are wheat and other 
 grains, beef, pork, pot and pearl ashes, 
 butter, cheese, lumber, &c. Gypsum is 
 abundant in the W. parts, and extensively 
 used as a manure. Fine marble exists 
 and is manufactured at Sing Sing. In 
 the N. part of the state ai-e large beds of 
 iron ore. Gneiss, granite, limestone, and 
 mica slate are found abundantly in the 
 Highlands and many other parts of the 
 stp.tc. There arc many mineral springs. 
 Tliosc that have attained most celebrity 
 are in the c". of Saratoga, known as the 
 Saratoga & Baliston Springs, possessing 
 medicinal qualities. There are also the 
 New Lebanon and Clifton Springs, the 
 former near the Shaker v. the other near 
 Farmington, Ontario co. Among the 
 natural curiosities are the Niagara Fails; 
 Genesee Falls, on Genesee r. below Ro- 
 chester, about 90 feet perpendicular; 
 Trenton Falls, on West Canada cr. ; Co- 
 hoes Falls, on the Mohawk, near the 
 Hudson ; Glens Falls, on the Hudson, 18 
 m. above Saratoga; Little Falls, on the 
 Mohawk; Jessup's Falls, and Hadley 
 
 Falls, on the Hudson ; and Claverack 
 Falls, on a stream near the city of Hud- 
 son, and tiie sublime and picturesque 
 cascades of the Caiskill mountain. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Hudson, 
 Mohawk, Genesee, Niagara, St. Law- 
 rence, Black, Oswegatchie, Oswego, Sa- 
 ranac, and Tioga, a branch of the Sus- 
 quehannah. 
 
 The principal lakes are Erie, Ontario, 
 and Champlain, which border on the state, 
 lakes George, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, 
 Crooked, Canandaigua, and Skaneateles; 
 
 The principal cities and towns are 
 New York, Albany, Brooklyn, Troy, 
 Buffalo, Rochester, IJtica, Schenectady, 
 Poughkeepsie, Newburg, Hudson, Platts- 
 burgh, Catskill, Geneva, Syracuse, Can- 
 andaigua, Auburn, Lockport, Lansing- 
 burg, lihaca, Skaneateles, and Penn Yan. 
 
 I'he commerce of the state principally 
 centres at N. York city, which is the 
 great seaport of the Union. The situa- 
 tion of the state is admirably adapted for 
 an extensive and increasing trade. Its 
 noble river, the Hudson, connected as it 
 is with lakes Champlain and Erie, by 
 canals, must continually jiour in the vast 
 resources not only of the interior and N. 
 part of the state, but of the great and 
 growing states of the west. 
 
 The Ibllowing table will best exhibit 
 the general statistics of the state, includ- 
 ing the n\imber of manufactories of the 
 various kinds, and their increase or de* 
 crease in 10 years, from 1825 to 1835.

 The year preceding 1835, there were 
 24,175,357 yards of cotton cloth, and 
 6,626,058 yards of woollen cloth manu- 
 fiictured, as given in the same returns. 
 The above table shows that the number 
 of acres improvpd within the preceding 
 ten years is 2,399,378 ; the whole quaiiti- 
 ty returned as improved is about one-third 
 the area of the wliole state. But the 
 number of acres under actual cultivation 
 is probably not over one-fifth. The num- 
 ber of inhabitants to the square mile is 
 about 47 62-100. la 1825, there were 
 about 37 inhabitants to the square mile. 
 The number of cattle of every descrip- 
 tion has increased in ten years 1,399,628. 
 The decrease in domestic cotton and wool- 
 len manufactures is attributed to the in- 
 crease of these manufactures in the coun- 
 try generally, and the reduced prices at 
 which they can be purchased. 
 
 It is exceedingly gratifying to notice 
 the decreased number"of distilleries, from 
 2,129 in 1825 to 693 in 1835— being a de- 
 crease of 1,413 in ten years, or 141 year- 
 ly. This evidence of moral improvement 
 is undoubtedly to be attributed to the salu- 
 tary influence of the temperance reforma- 
 tion. Pop. 1840, 2,428,921. 
 
 The following table exhibits the popu- 
 lation at the different periods when a 
 census was taken. In 1700 it was estima- 
 ted at 30,000; in 1775 at 233,000 inhabi- 
 tants. No census was taken before 1790.

 The assessed value of real and personal 
 estate in 1836, was 8672,372,484. The 
 amount of county taxes for 1836 was 
 S768,426 ; the amount of town taxes, 
 ^1,734,037: total, $2,502,463— being a 
 small fraction less than 40 cents on S'lOO. 
 
 The state of New York, while making 
 Buch rapid advances in the improvement 
 of her physical condition, has not neglect- 
 ed to provide liberally the means of edu- 
 cation. And nothing is now needed but 
 a corresponding interest on the part of tlie 
 people, in behalf of their colleges and 
 schools, to give her a moral and mental 
 elevation corresponding with her com- 
 manding destiny. The following is a 
 list of the colleges and theological semi- 
 naries : 
 
 Columbia College, (Episcopalian,) in 
 New York, founded in 1754. Union, in 
 Schenectady, founded 1795. Hamilton, 
 in Clinton, founded 1812. Hamilton Lite- 
 rary and Theological, (Baptist,) in Ham- 
 ilton, founded 1HI9. Geneva, (Episcopa- 
 lian,) in Geneva, founded 1823. Univer- 
 sity of New York, in New York, founded 
 1831. Theological Institute of the Epis- 
 copal Churcli, in New York, commenced 
 operation 1819. New York Theological 
 Seminary, in New York. Theological 
 Seminary of Auburn, (Presbyterian,) 
 commenced 1821. Hartwick Seminary, 
 Otsego county, (Lutheran,) commenced 
 1816. Theological Seminary of the As- 
 sociate Reformed Church, Newburg, com- 
 menced 1836. Nyack College, (Catholic,) 
 30 m. N. of New York, on the Hudson. 
 College of Physicians and Surgeons, in 
 New York. Geneva Medical College. 
 Poughkeepsie Collegiate School.

 In addition to these, there are in the 
 state 64 incorporated academies, each 
 drawing an income from the Literature 
 Fund. The Albany Academy, and the 
 two Albany Female Seminaries, stand de- 
 servedly high. 
 
 A department has been established in 
 one academy in each of the eight Senate 
 Districts, for the education of common 
 school teachers. The number of students 
 in these departments was, in 1835, 108 ; 
 in 1830, 218; in 1837,284; at an ex- 
 pense of $3,200, or S400 for each depart- 
 ment. 
 
 The number of School Districts in the 
 stale, reported by the superintendent in 
 Jan. 1838, for the year 1836, was 10,345, 
 from 9,718 of which reports were receiv- 
 ed. The number of new districts formed 
 during the year was 138. The schools 
 were kept an average period of seven 
 months. Whole number of children be- 
 tween the ages of 5 and 16 years, 536,882. 
 Whole number taught, 524,188. Amount 
 of public money distributed to the districts 
 in 1837, $342,811. Amount paid for 
 teachers' wages besides public money, 
 $436,346. Of the public money raised 
 in 1836, $119,332 was received from the 
 state and local funds, and $216,562 was 
 raised by tax in the several towns. 
 
 A new scliool law was passed April 
 17, 1838, appropriating an additional an- 
 nual sum of $110,000 to the common 
 schools ; also, $55,000 annually for three 
 years towards the purchase of a library 
 in each district. Each school is required 
 to be taught at least four months by an 
 inspected teacher.

 Paupers are supported by a tax on the 
 inhabitants of the counties where they be- 
 long. Most of the counties are provided 
 with poor-houses, with farms attached.

 The value of the labor of paupers in 
 1836, was $39,124. There are 6,217A 
 acres of land attached to the poor-houses. 
 The value of the poor-house establish- 
 ments is estimated at $1,433,775. Of the 
 number relieved or supported during the 
 year, there were 6,874 foreigners ; 780 
 lunatics ; 271 idiots ; and 77 deaf and 
 dumb. 
 
 There are two state prisons, one at 
 Mount Pleasant, or Sing Sing, the other 
 at Auburn, each under the direction of 
 five inspectors, who report annually to the 
 Legislature. All convicts are kept at 
 hard labor during the day, and are con- 
 fined in separate cells at night. Such is 
 the efficiency and economy in the manage- 
 ment of the prisons, that the income from 
 the labor of the convicts exceeds the ex- 
 penses — so that they are no longer a bur- 
 den to the state. Of 747 persons in the 
 Auburn ]Drison, 311 had a very poor edu- 
 cation, and 203 were unable to read the 
 Bible — well educated, only 12. Of the 
 same number, 561 were intemperate before 
 conviction, 177 were temperate drinkers, 
 and only 9 total abstinents. 
 
 The Legislature is composed of a Sen- 
 ate of 32 members, who are elected for 
 four years, eight being chosen annually, 
 one from each senatorial district, and a 
 House of Representatives consisting of 
 128 members. The pay of each member 
 is three dollars a day. The Lieut. Gov- 
 ernor, and President of the Senate, re- 
 ceives six dollars a day during the ses- 
 sion. 
 
 The Governor is elected for two years. 
 He receives an annual salary of $4,000, 
 is provided with a dwelling house, and 
 receives for postage and other contingent 
 expenses, $750. His private secretary 
 receives $600 per annum. 
 
 The Secretary of State is also Super 
 intendent of Schools, and receives for his 
 services $1,750 per annum. 
 
 The Comptroller has charge of the fis 
 cal concerns of the state, and receives 
 $2,500 a year. The Canal Commission 
 ers each receive $2,000 a year. The 
 Treasurer receives $1,500, and the Depu 
 ty Secretary of State, $1,500. 
 The Chancellor and justices of the Su 
 
 preme Court receive $2,500 a year each. 
 The eight Circuit Judges receive each 
 $1,600. 
 
 There were in 1837, (according to Wil- 
 liams,) attorneys and counsellors, 2,101 ; 
 practising physicians and surgeons, 
 2.876; clergy of ditlerent denominations, 
 2; 192. 
 
 InLer'iial Improvements. — Tlie success- 
 ful issue of the great system of internal 
 improvements commenced in New York 
 about 21 years ago, has not only had in- 
 fluence upon lier own prosperity, but upon 
 the whole nation. The Erie Canal, one 
 of the greatest works of the kind in the 
 world, was commenced on the 4th July, 
 1817, and completed in 1825. The prin- 
 cipal canals, except the Delaware & Hud- 
 son, have been constructed by the state. 
 The rail roads have been undertaken by 
 incorporated companies. The Mohawk 
 & Hudson Rail Road was the first con- 
 stracted in the state. It was comm/:nced 
 in 1830, and completed in 1833. 
 
 The Erie Canal, from Albany to Buf- 
 falo, 303 m. long. Cost $19,255.49 per 
 mile : total cost, $7,143,789.

 rated, $11,962,711— Entire length, 655 m. 
 The depth of water is 4 feet; width at 
 the surface, 42 feet. 
 
 Black Bilker Cayial — to extend from 
 the Erie Canal, at Rome, to the foot of 
 High Falls on Black river ; 35 m. long, 
 and a feeder of 11 miles; estimated cost, 
 $1,008,437. 
 
 Genesee Valle^j Canal — to extend from 
 Rochester to Orleans, forming a commu- 
 nication Avith the Susquehannah and 
 Ohio rs. Length, 107 m. Feeders, 15

 thence up the Delaware to the mouth of 
 Lackawaxen river — 24 miles; llience in 
 Pennsylvania, to Honcsdalc — 26 miles. 
 Total, 109 miles; cost, $2,231,820. A 
 rail road, 16 miles, is connected with it. 
 
 There have been 133 rail road compa- 
 nies incorporated from the year H2t) to 
 1337, with a capital of about S35,000,000. 
 Many of them, it is probable, will never 
 be constructed.

 NIAGARA Falls, a stupendous cata- 
 ract in the Niagara r. at which the waters 
 fall perpendicularly 164 feet on the Amer- 
 ican side, and 170 feet on the Canada side. 
 The roar of the falls is heard 15 m. and 
 at times from 30 to 40 m. Goat Island 
 divides the falls into two unequal parts, 
 and is connected with the American shore 
 by a bridge. The W. side of the falls 
 presents an irregular arch, called the 
 Horse-shoe Fall. A staircase is con- 
 structed from Goat Island to the rocks be- 
 low, by which the spectator may approach 
 some distance under the arch formed by 
 the falling waters. Splendid and com- 
 modious hotels ;ire erected in the neigh- 
 borhood of the falls ; which in the sum- 
 mer season are crowded with visiters, 
 who come from all parts of the country 
 to view this most sublime spectacle in the 
 world of the kind. 
 
 NIAGARA R. in the W. part of N. 
 Y. forming part of the boundary between 
 N. Y. and U. Canada. It is the channel 
 for the waters of L. Eric flowing into L. 
 Ontario. For the first 7 m. it is from 
 half a m. to a m. in width. The r. is di- 
 vided into two channels by Grand Island, 
 below which it is one ni. in width. Its 
 width diminishes for 3 m. to about three- 
 quarters of a m. to the great cataract. 
 The whole length of the r. to L. Ontario, 
 is .35 miles ; the entire fall, 336 feet.

 NORTH CARCX«I17A, 
 
 one of the United States, bounded N. by 
 Virginia, E. by the Atlantic, S. by South 
 Carolina and Georgia, and W. by Ten- 
 nessee. Its extreme length from E. to W. 
 (not including Cape Hatteras,) is 480 m. 
 Its extreme breadth, N. and S. 185 m. 
 Area about 50,000 square m. 
 
 The first attempt to colonize the Caro- 
 linas was made by the French in the reign 
 of Charles IX. from whom the name was 
 derived, whicli was defeated by the Span- 
 iards. Sir Walter Raleigh visited the 
 country in 1584, and in the following year 
 another attempt to settle it was made, but 
 
NOR

 no traces of the settlers were ever after 
 discovered, having been, in all probabili- 
 ty, murdered by the Indians. In ltJ40, 
 several settlements were made by a num- 
 ber of persons who left Virginia on ac- 
 count of religious persecutions. In 1659, 
 a small colony from Massachusetts estab- 
 lished themselves on the banks of Cape 
 Fear r. and left the country in 16tJ3. At 
 this time other settlements were made, and 
 the plan of government afterwards adopt- 
 ed by the colony embraced the scheme 
 of the celebrated John Locke. There 
 was an hereditary nobility, and the chief 
 magistrate was called the Palatine. The 
 plan was abandoned as impracticable in 
 1693. In 1717, the colony came under 
 the royal government, as the other colo- 
 nies were, and remained so until th.e revo- 
 lution. In 1729 it was separated from S. 
 Carolina, with which it had always been 
 united. The present constitution was 
 adopted in 1776, and amended in 1835. 
 
 The surface of the state in the E. sec- 
 tion is an extensive plain, with consider- 
 able swamps, and generally poor land, ex- 
 cept on the margin of the rivers, which is 
 very fertile. In the middle section the 
 land is more hilly, and the W. limit is 
 marked by a range of the Appalachian 
 system, which take the names of Yellow, 
 Iron, Smoky and Unaka Mountains. 
 The Blue Ridge forms a parallel range, 
 from 15 to 35 m. E. The soil in the W. 
 part of the state is the most fertile, and 
 the country in general very beautiful. 
 The climate is temperate and healthy. In 
 the E. parts it is unhealthy in the summer 
 season, being subject to prevailing bilious 
 and intermittent fevers. The winters are 
 mild and agreeable. 
 
 Immense i-egions of the country are 
 covered with pitch pine, affording large 
 quantities of tar and turpentine for ex- 
 port. Indian corn and other small grains 
 are raised in considerable quantities. 
 Cotton, rice and tobacco are also produc- 
 ed. There are very few harbors on the 
 coast, and muchof the trade finds its way 
 into Virginia and South Carolina. Lum- 
 ber, grain, flour and provisions are arti- 
 cles of export. 
 
 Iron ore abounds in many parts of the 
 state, but very little is done in manufac- 
 turing it. The gold mines have attracted 
 great attention. The gold region embra- 
 ces about 1,000 square miles. Part of the 
 gold is obtained by mining, and part by 
 ■washing the sand and gravel found in the 
 gullies and beds of creeks. In 1824, this 
 state furnished for the U. S. mint, gold to 
 the value of S5.000; in 1825, $;17,000; 
 in 1829, S134,0'00; in 1832, $458,000; 
 
 in 1834, S380,000; in 1835, 0263,500; 
 
 in 1836, $148,100 : total amount to 1836, 
 S2,465,000 — besides which, large quanti- 
 ties have been exported and otherwise dis- 
 posed of. Since 1833 the quantity has 
 annually decreased. 
 
 There are a number of cotton manufac- 
 tories, which are rapidly increasing. The 
 first in the state was established in 1818, 
 at the falls of Tar r. in Edgecombe co. 
 
 The principal rivers of the state are the 
 Roanoke, Chowan, Cape Fear, Pamlico, 
 Tar, Neuse and Yadkin. 
 
 The chief towns are Newbern, Fay- 
 etteville, Wilmington, and Raleigh, the 
 seat of government. 
 
 The principal sounds and bays are 
 Pamlico Sound and Albemarle Sound, 
 and Onslow and Raleigh bays. The 
 ]3rominent capes are Fear, Lookout and 
 Hatteras. 
 
 The Legislature is composed of a Sen-' 
 ate of 50 members, and a House of Com- 
 mons of 120 i-epresentatives, who are 
 chosen for two years. The Legislature 
 meets biennially. The governor is also 
 chosen for two years, and cannot hold his 
 office more than four years out of any 
 term of six years. His salary is $2,000. 
 
 There is a literary fund for the support 
 of common schools, consisting of swamp 
 lands, estimated at 1,500,000 acres, valu- 
 ed at S'l, 000,000, to which has been added 
 ft-om the U. S. surplus fund, $1,000,000, 
 and the future dividends from works of 
 internal improvement. 
 
 The colleges in the state are, the Uni- 
 versity of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill, 
 founded in 1791, containing 8 instructors, 
 130 students, and 5,000 volumes in the 
 library. Davidson College, at Mecklen- 
 burg, founded in 1837. Besides these, 
 there are the Episcopal School at Raleigh j 
 Manual Lal)or School at; Fayetteville ; 
 Manual Labor School at Wake Forest, 
 and the Female Seminary at Salem. 
 
 The population in 1790 was 393,950; 
 in 1800, 478,103; in 1810, 555,500; in 
 1820, 638,829; in 1840, 753,4 19, of whom 
 245,601 were slaves.

 OHIO R. from which the state is nam- 
 ed, is formed by the confluence of the Al- 
 leghany and Monongahela at Pittsburg, 
 in the W. part of Pa. After a course of 
 908 m. it flows into the Mississippi. Its 
 breadth varies from 400 to 1,400 yards. 
 Below Cumberland r. its average width 
 is over a mile. At Cincinnati it is 800 
 yards, which is its mean breadth. The 
 elevation of the Ohio at Pittsburg is 678 
 feet, and at its junction with the Missis- 
 sippi r. at low water, 283 — having a fall 
 of 395 feet in its entire length. The cur- 
 rent of the river is gentle, and varies from 
 two to four miles an hour. The only ob- 
 struction in general to navigation is the 
 rapids at Louisville, where there is a ca- 
 nal to avoid them. The river is naviga- 
 ble for large steamboats half the year 
 through its entire course. Its lowest stage 
 is in September, and in March it is at its 
 highest. Its depth varies at the dift'erent 
 periods about fifty feet, and sometimes 
 rises 10 or 12 feet in a single night. The 
 Ohio flows through a fine, rich country, 
 and from the beauty of the stream was 
 called by the French discoverers " la belle 
 riviere." 
 
 OHIO, one of the United States, 
 bounded N. by Lake Erie and the state of 
 Michigan, E. by Pennsylvania and Vir- 
 ginia, S, by Virginia and Kentuck)', and 
 W. by Indiana. It is about 220 m. long 
 by 220 broad, contains 44,000 square m. 
 and returns 16,400,000 acres for taxation. 
 
 The territory now forming the state, 
 
OHI 
 
 2-29 
 
 OHI 
 
 WRS embraced in 1787 as part of the " ter- 
 ritory norihwcst of the river Ohio." The 
 first settlers were 47 emigrants, under 
 Gen. Rufus Putnam and Rev. Menas- 
 seli Cutler, from the counties of Middle- 
 sex and Essex, Mas. who established 
 themselves at iVIarietta, at the mouth of 
 Muskingum r. on the 7th of April, 1788. 
 The next year another settlement was 
 made on the Oh.io, G m. above the site of 
 Cincinnati. The inhabitants were much 
 exposed to hostilities from the Indians for 
 a number of years, which were not effec- 
 tually stopped until they were subdued by 
 Gen. Wayne in 1795. From this period 
 the settlement and prosperity of the terri- 
 tory have been unexampled. In lb'02, it 
 was admitted into the Union as an inde- 
 pendent state, and in IBiJOit wasthe fourth 
 state in population in the Union. In 
 1790, the population was 3,000; in 1800, 
 45,305 ; in 1810, '230,7H0 ; in 1820, 581,434 ; 
 in 1840, 1,5 19,.4()7. Of this last number 
 there were deaf and dumb, 426 ; blind, 
 232 ; free coloi"ed persons, 9,567. 
 
 The general surface of the state is re- 
 markably level, exhibiting a moderate 
 elevation of table land, hut no mountains 
 nor any considerable hills. The soil is 
 very fertile, and the greater portion of the 
 state fit for cultivation. Indian corn is 
 raised in great abundance, and may be 
 considered the staple. Hemp, flax and 
 tobacco can also be raised in considerable 
 quantities. Taken as a whole, there is 
 no section of country in the world per- 
 haps equally productive. Coal and iron 
 lire abundant in the eastern parts of the 
 state. Marble is found in many places, 
 and salt springs are numerous. The cli- 
 mate is generally mild, and warmer than 
 other parts of the country in the same 
 latitude. Except in the neighborhood of 
 the marshes and flats, it is very healthy. 
 
 Among the curiosities are the numerous 
 ancient mounds scatterc-d over various 
 pans of the state. Tli^ir origin is very 
 imcertain. Some of them are from 40 to 
 70 feet high, with a level area of 40 feet 
 diameter at the top, and a circumferr nee 
 at the base of 400 to 500 feet. There 
 are also numerous ancient fortifications of 
 o circular form. 
 
 Tiie principal rivers are the Ohio, which 
 forms the entire S. boundary of the slate, 
 Muskingum, Scioto, Gt. Miami, Lit. Mi- 
 ami, Maumee, Cuyahoga and Sandusky. 
 
 The principal cities and towns are Cin- 
 cinnati, Cleaveland, Znnesvillc, Colum- 
 bus, the capital, Chillicothe, Steubenville, 
 Dayton and Circleville. 
 
 Ohio is admirably situated for trade. 
 H«r central position, her noble rivers and ; 
 20 
 
 extensive lines of canals, must always 
 secure to her enterprize a great and in 
 creasing commerce. 
 
 There are a number of large cotton and 
 woollen manufactories, and a great quan- 
 tity of domestic goods are iiuuie. 
 
 The Legislature consists of a Senate 
 and House of Representatives. Senators 
 are chosen for two years, and representa- 
 tives annually. 1 he governor is elected 
 for two years. His salary is $1,000. 
 
 Among the institutions of learning are 
 the following » — University of Ohio, at 
 Athens, founded 1821; has 2.000 volumes 
 in the librliry. Miami University, at 
 Oxford, founded 182'} ; 4,00(t volumes in 
 the library. Franklin College, at New 
 Athens, founded 1825; 1,100 voUnnes in 
 the library. Western Reserve College, 
 at Hudson, founded 1826 ; 2,000 volumes 
 in the library. Kenyon College, at Gam- 
 bier, founded 1628; 2,300 vokmies in the 
 library. Granville College, at Granville, 
 founded 1832 ; 3,000 vols, in the library. 
 Marietta College, at Marietta, founded 
 1832 ; 2,500 vols, in the library. Oberlin 
 Institute, at New Elyria ; Cincinnati Col- 
 lege ; Woodward College, at Cincinnati, 
 and Willoughby University, at Chagrin. 
 There are theological departments in 
 Kenyon, Granville and Western Reserve 
 Colleges; Lane Theolog. Seminary, and 
 a theological school at Columbus. There 
 is also a medical college at Cincinnati. 
 
 The state has a considerable fund de- 
 voted to common school instruction. An 
 excellent system has been established, and 
 great efforts are being made to improve it 
 as much as possible. The lands set apart 
 for the school fund amount to over half a 
 million of acres, some of which have been 
 sold, and some let out on lease. 
 
 Internal Improvements. — The astonish- 
 ing and rapid growth and prosperity of 
 the state of Ohio, is equalled only by her 
 magnificent works of internal improve- 
 ment. It is only thirty-six years since 
 she was admitted as a state into the Un- 
 ion, and now there are near 500 miles of 
 navigable canal finished and in operation, 
 and about 200 miles of canal and 100 
 miles slack water navigation under con- 
 tract to be finished in 1839. There are 
 also other canals and river improvements 
 projected, which will soon swell the 
 amount of inland navigation in this young 
 state to upwards of 1,000 miles. 
 
 The Ohio Canal extends from Cleave- 
 land, on Lake Erie, to Portsmouth on 
 the Ohio; lenirth, 307 m.; commenced 
 1825, finished 1832. There is a navigable 
 feeder to Zanesville, 14 m. ; one to Co- 
 lumbus, 10 m. ; and one to Lancaster, 9 m.

 cession to Mas. and by that state sold to 
 Gorham & Phelps, in 1787. Oliver 
 Pholps first explored the country in the 
 following year, and purchased 2§ millions 
 of acres of the Indians. He established 
 a land office at Canandaigua, in 1789, 
 which was the first in America. Twelve

 Its mean depth is 49'2 feet. Its surface is ' 
 231 feet above the ocean, and 334 feet 
 below Lake Erie. The Welland Canal 
 connects the trade with Lake Erie. The 
 falls, in Niagara r. and the rapids, and 
 numerous islands and shoals in the St. 
 Lawrence, prevent any other than artifi- 
 cial communication for the conmierce of 
 the lake. Oswego Canal connects its 
 waters with the Erie Canal, and Black

 OREGON R. (or Columbia,) a larga 
 r. in the territory of Oregon, rising in the 
 Rocky Mountains, and flowing into the 
 Pacific Ocean in lat. 46-' 15' N. It rises 
 in two principal branches, the longest of 
 which, Lewis r. rises in about lat. 40^, 
 near Long's Peak. The N. branch is 
 called Flat Head r. or Clark's Fork, and 
 rises in about 46® N. lat. The Walla- 
 mut, or Multnomah, is another principal 
 branch. Vessels of 300 tons ascend the 
 r. as far as the Multnomah, 120 miles. 
 Sloops may ascend to the head of tide- 
 l water, 184 miles; above this, th^re are 
 I rapids which interrupt the navigation. 
 The whole length is about 1,500 miles. 
 j This river derived the name of Columbia 
 from the ship Columbia, Capt. Gray, of

 OREGON Territory, a large sec- 
 tion, W. of the Rocky Mountains, ex- 
 tending from 4-20 to 54"^ N. hit. and to the 
 Pacifie Ocean on the W. coniaining about 
 300,000 square m. Besides the Rocky 
 Mountains, there are two parallel ridges of 
 mountains and several high peaks. The 
 Oregon r. and its tributaries arc the prin- 
 cipal rs. The climate is mild and agree- 
 able. The tops of the mountains are co- 
 vered with perpetual snow. iVluchofthc 
 country is composed of extensive jirairies. 
 Pine and hemlock abound in tlie neigh- 
 borhood of the sea shore. The soil in the 
 valleys and along the shores of the riv- 
 ers, is very fertile. 
 
 The principal articles of trade are furs, 
 seal-skins, &c. Astoria is the principal 
 settlement, where the Americans have a 
 trading establishment. The country was 
 first discovered by the Spaniards. In 
 1805, Lewis and Clark descended the r. 
 and wintered on the shores of the Pacific. 
 The Indians in the territory are estimated 
 at 140,000.

 Maryland and Virginia, and W. by Vir- 
 ginia and Ohio. Greatest length E. and 
 W. 305 m. — breadth, ICO m. — containing 
 abou.t 4t),500 square m. 
 
 The territory was first settled by some 
 Swedes in 1628, which was afterwards 
 
 broken up by the Dutch from New York, 
 whose senlements were also in turn seized 
 by the English. In 1081, William Penn, 
 a Quaker, who was the son of Admiral 
 Sir Wm. Penn, obtained a grant from 
 Charles II. for the territory, including 
 Delaware, and immediately commenced 
 the settlement of it. He arrived at Nev,' 
 Castle in 1082, and fixed the site of Phila- 
 delphia as the capital, then called Coal 
 quanock, and laid out that city. In 1799 
 Delaware became a distinct colony. The 
 settlement for 70 years was happily free 
 from all disturbances with the Indians, 
 which marked the early history of the 
 other colonies. In 1718, Penn died in 
 England, aged 74. The original charter 
 continued until after the revolution. In 
 1790, a constitution was established, 
 which continued until 1838, when a new 
 constitution was formed. 
 
 Most of the central part of the state is 
 mountainous. The AUeghanies, of the 
 Appalachian chain, extend in a number 
 of ridges in aNE. course — the nearest on 
 the E. being about 150 to 170 miles from 
 the sea. They are known by various 
 names, the Kittatiny or Blue Mountains, 
 Tuscai-ora Mountains, Ragged Moun- 
 tains, Great Warrior Mountain, Laurel 
 Hill and the Alleghany Mountains, which 
 are the highest elevations. Most of these 
 mountains are thickly covered with wood. 
 E. and W. of the mountain ranges, the 
 country is level or moderately undulating, 
 and the soil feitile and productive in v/heat 
 and all kinds of grains and fruits. 
 
 The climate E. and W. of the moun- 
 tains does not sensibly differ from that of 
 other sections in the same parallels of 
 latitude. In the mountainous regions, 
 the winters are colder, and the snow lays 
 longer and deeper. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Delaware, 
 Susquehannan, Alleghany, Monongahe- 
 la, Yioughiogeny, Kiskiminetas, Juniata, 
 Schuylkill and Lehigh. 
 
 The most important towns are Phili- 
 delphia, Pittsburg, Lancaster, Reading, 
 Harrisburg, the capital, Easton, Beth'e- 
 hem, Norristown, Columbia, Doylestovvn 
 and Germantown. 
 
 Pennsylvania is a great manufacturing 
 state. The principal manufactories are 
 in Philadelphia and Pittsburg and their 
 neighborhoods. The most extensive are 
 of cotton, wool, iron, glass and paper. 
 Salt is manufactured largely from springs 
 in the W. part of the state. 
 
 The foreign commerce of the state cen- 
 tres nearly altogether at Philadelphia, 
 The value of imports is from S12,000,000 
 to 1^15,000,000 annually ; of exports, from

 Aiuhracite coal abounds more exten- 
 sively in this state ilian any other in the 
 Union. Tlie c.ual region lies principally 
 Jimong the mountains which run parallel 
 to the Blue Ridge, between that ridge and 
 the Susquehannah, and along the valleys 
 of the Wyoming and Lackawanna. Tlie 
 valley of the anthracite region is about 
 60 mdes long, and 5 to 6 broad. The 
 coal beds vary in thickness from '.i feet to 
 2G, and are most extensive in the vicinity 
 of Mauch Chunk, on the Lehigh. 
 
 In the W. part of the state, bituminous 
 coal is equally abundant. It is found 
 along tlie AUegliany, Monongahela and 
 Conemaugh rs. and elsew'here. In the 
 neighborhood of Pittsburg it is very pkn- 
 tiful. 
 
 A committee of the Pennsylvania Le- 
 gislature, in 1836, estimated the improve- 
 ments connected with the anthracite coal 
 trade to be, canals and rail roads, 480 
 miles, SD.T'^O.DG? ; colliers' boats, cars, 
 &c. Sl,270,280; capital in coal lainls, 
 Sl,900,000; mining capital and value of 
 towns, 83,375,000: total, S19,166,'2l7. 
 The bituminous coal lands are supposed 
 to comprehend 21,000 square miles, and 
 the anthracite 075 square miles. The 
 number of tons of anthracite coal shipped 
 from the Schuylkill, Lehigh and Lacka- 
 wanna mines, from 18"20 to 1835, was 
 2,498,0-24. 
 
 In the bituminous coal region are also 
 found many valuable salt springs, which, 
 by boring, produce a strong solution. 
 
 The Legislature is composed of a Sen- 
 ate and House of Representatives. Sen- 
 ators arc chosen for four years, and the 
 representatives annually. The governor 
 is chosen for three years, and has a salary 
 of 3^4,000. 
 
 Among the institutions of learning are 
 the following: — University of Pennsyl- 
 vania, at PInladelphia ; Carlisle College; 
 Jefferson College, at Canonsburg; Wash- 
 ington College; Allcarhany College, at 
 Meadville ; Western University, at Pitts- 
 burg; Pennsylvania College, at Gettys- 
 burg ; Lafayette College, at Easton ; 
 Haddington College ; Marshall College, 
 at Mercersburg ; AUxlical Department in 
 the University of Pennsylvania; Med- 
 ical Dcparhnent, Jefferson College, Phila- 
 delphia. Of the theological seminaries, 
 there are — The Seminary of the Lutheran 
 Church of the U. S. at Gettysburg; Ger- 
 man Reformed, at York ; Western Theo- 
 logical Seminary, -^i Alleghany ; Thro- 
 logical School, at Canonsburg ; Theolo- 
 gical Seminary, at Pittsburg. 
 
 The system of common schools embra- 
 ces about 3,400 district schools, 3,500 
 teachers, and 150,000 scholais. The 
 whole number of children in the state be- 
 tween 5 and 15 is about 330,000. About 
 ;jj-00,000 annually of [lublic money is ap- 
 propriated to the schools. The public 
 schools of Philadelphia are not includ- 
 ed in the above. 1'he state has a peni- 
 tentiary at Piiiladelphia, and one at Pitts- 
 burg.

 Internal Improvements. — This stale hr;s 
 undertaken tlie most gigantic system of 
 internal improvement. She has already 
 upwards of GOO miles of state canals and 
 1*20 miles of rail roads in operation, which, 
 with those in course of construction, will 
 make, when completed, by the state and 
 incorporated companies, 1,192 miles of 
 canals, and 72G miles of rail roads — all 
 undertaken since 18^26 ; an achievement 
 that would reflect honor upon the enter- 
 prize of any nation in the world. 
 
 The Pennsylvania state canals and 
 rail roads consist of the following divis- 
 ions : Columbia Rail Road, from Phila- 
 delpliia to Columbia, 81 J miles ; Canal — 
 eastern division, Columbia to HoUidays- 
 burg, 17H; Alleghany Portage Rail 
 Road, Hollidaysburg to Johnstown, 3G| ; 
 Canal — v/estcrn division, Johnstown to 
 Pittsburg, 105 : total, 395 miles. 
 
 The Beaver Canal extends from Bea- 
 ver to New Castle, '25 miles long. 
 
 The Mahonning and Beaver Canal is 
 to extend from New Castle. Pa. to the 
 Ohio Canal at Akron, O. 
 
 The Pittsburg and Erie Canal, of which 
 the Beaver Canal is a section, is to extend 
 from Pittsburg to Lake Erie, 73i miles. 
 
 The following canals have been con- 
 structed by incorporated companies : — 
 
 Schuylkill, 108 miles ; cost 5*2,500, 17o.

 PENN YAN, c. t. Yates co. N. Y. a 
 flourishing village, situated about three- 
 fourths of a mile below the foot of Crook- 
 ed Lake, on the outlet, IG m. SSW. of 
 Geneva, 22 m. SE of Canandaigua, 30 
 m. N. of Bath, 185 m. W. of Albany, 
 and 314 m. N. of Washington City. 
 Lying in a valley, on a fine plat of ground 
 gently descending to the outlet, tlie ap- 
 proach to the village on every side is very 
 beautiful. From the road on the E. par- 
 ticularly, the prospect is exceedingly pic- 
 turesque — extending beyond the v. to the 
 waters of the lake, with the promontory 
 of Bluff Point rising on the W. and in 
 the still further distance the highlands of 
 sleuben. The singular name of the v. 
 originated in the fact that its founders 
 were a Pennsylvanian and a Yankee— 
 
 the first syllable of each name beirg uni- 
 ted. There were then only two or three 
 houses and a post office. The first post- 
 master was Abraham Wagencr^ Esq. v/ho 
 was the original founder, and the Penn- 
 sylvanian above mentioned. 
 
 The village contains four churches — a 
 Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist and 
 Episcopalian — a new substantial court- 
 house, with a portico and four doric col- 
 umns, a jail, a bank, with a capital of 
 $100,000, an academy and several select 
 schools, two grist and two saw mills, two 
 printing offices, and two weekly papers. 
 
 The situation of Penn Yan, in the cen- 
 tre of a beautiful agricultural county, 
 with no other town in the vicinity to share 
 its trade, ensures it a permanent and in- 
 creasing prosperity. The outlet of the 
 lake, through its entire course of 7 miles 
 into Seneca Lake, affords a first rate wa- 
 ter power, having a descent of 269 feet, 
 which is used for a large number of grist, 
 saw and fulling mills. The Crooked Lake 
 Canal, 8 m. long, is constructed along the 
 outlet, and affo>-ds a communication iVom 
 the V. through Seneca Lake and the Cayu- 
 ga & Seneca Canal, with the Erie Canal.

 PHILADELPHIA Citu. Philadelphia 
 CO. Pa. 93 m. NE. from Baltimore; 89 
 SW. from New York; 206 SW. from 
 Boston; 98 E. from Harrisburg, and 13G 
 m. NE. from Washington Citv. N. lat. 
 3i»o 56' 51". W. Ion. 75° 10' 05" from 
 Greenwich. The city is handsomely laid 
 out on the W. bank of Delaware r. ex- 
 lending '2 m. to the Schulykill, about 3 m. 
 along the Delaware, and about 5 m. above 
 the confluence of those rivers. 
 
 Philadelphia was founded by William 
 Penn, in 1682, and chartered in 1701. 
 The streets of the city proper, (excluding 
 the Liberties,) are laid out at right angles, 
 generally about 50 tVct wide — and kept 
 remarkably clean. The houses are most- 
 ly of brick, of a neat, and many of them 
 an elegant appearance. Among tlie pub- 
 lic buildings are the United States Bank, 
 81* 
 
 U. S. Mint, State House, Girard Bank, 
 Bank of Pennsylvania, and Pennsylva- 
 nia Hospital. In the vicinity areGirard's 
 College, the Alms House, and Naval Asy- 
 lum. The U. S, Bank is a beautiful mar- 
 ble structure, with 8 doric columns in front 
 and 8 in the rear — Ijuilt afuu- the model of 
 the Parthenon. The Girard College is a 
 most magnificent building, of marble, sup- 
 ported on all sides by Corinthian pillars. 
 Connected with it arc two cl)astc and 
 commodious buildings, also of marble. 
 The Mint, the Exciiange, Pennsylvania 
 Bank, Girard Bank, and Masonic Hall, 
 are also beautit'ul buildings. Religious, 
 benevolent, and literary institutions are 
 numerous. There are upwards of 100 
 houses for public worship. Among the 
 charitable and benevolent institutions are 
 the Asylums for orj)hans, deaf and dumb, 
 widows and lunatics, Humane Society, 
 and several Dispensaries. Among the 
 literary institutions are the University, 
 Philosophical Society, Athseneum, Frank- 
 lin Institute, Academy of Natural Science, 
 Academy of Fine Arts, Medical Society, 
 College of Pharmacy, College of Physi- 
 cians, &c. In the State House, which is 
 now occupied by the Courts, is the Hall 
 in which Congress sat when the Declara- 
 tion of Independence was adopted. The 
 Arcade, a beautiful building, contains the 
 Philadelphia Museum, long known as 
 Peale's Museum. The Market Houses 
 in Market street, reach from Front to 
 Eighth streets. There are several other 
 markets in different parts of the town. 
 They are all kept clean, and are well sup- 
 plied with all kinds of farming produce. 
 The public scpmres are beautifully adorn- 
 ed with shade trees. 
 
 One of the greatest undertakings in 
 Philadelphia is the water works on the 
 Schulykill, at Fair Mount. A dam is 
 thrown across the river, which affords 
 power suflicicnt for the machinery which 
 forces tin; water into large basins on the 
 top of the Mount, from which the city is 
 supplied by pipes laid in every street, 
 extending over 60 miles in length. The 
 entire cost, including the former works, 
 is about SI. 500,000. ' The expense of the 
 works is only about 31 a day. 
 
 Philadelphia is a very extensive manu- 
 facturing city. All the various branches 
 of mechanic industry are carried on with 
 great skill and perfection. Although en- 
 joying an extensive commerce, its inland 
 position is not sofav<Mable in this respect 
 as that of New York or Boston. For a 
 considerable part of the winter the Dela- 
 ware is closed with ice. 
 
 Philadelphia is distinguished for its 
 
PHI

 PHI 
 
 seminaries of education and the literary 
 spirit of its inhabitants. Besides tiie pub- 
 lic schools, whicli are the pride of the city, 
 private schools are numerous and of the 
 highest character. TheSociety of Friends, 
 who form a large and highly respectable 
 clas.'? of the inhabitants, are noted for their 
 attention to their schools and institutions 
 of learning and science. Their children 
 are educated particularly in the solid and 
 useful branches. The various benevolent 
 operations also owe much of their active 
 usefulness and energy to members of this 
 society. In the Philadelphia public and 
 primary schools there are annually taught 
 about r2, 000 scholars. 
 
 The Philadelphia Library, founded by 
 Dr. Franklin, contains 45,000 volumes. 
 The Philadelphia yociety Library con- 
 tains 10,000 volumes. There are several 
 other very respectable libraries, and vari- 
 ous literary institutions for mutual im- 
 provement, which have a favorable influ- 
 ence on the general character of its society.

 CO, Pa. at the junction of the Alleghany

 W. by N. from Philadelphia. This city 
 is second only to Philadelphia in the state, 
 and derives its importance principally 
 from its manufactures, which are various 
 and extensive, particularly in iron, glass, 
 paper, cotton and wool. The country 
 around abounds in inexhaustible quanti- 
 ties of bituminous coal. The large use 
 made of this fuel gives the buildings a 
 dark and smoky appearance, similar to 
 the large manufacturing towns of Eng- 
 land. The city is very favorably situa- 
 ted for trade and commerce. Numerous 
 steamboats are annually built here for the 
 western waters. The Pennsylvania state 
 canals and rail roads centre here, and add 
 greatly to the trade and wealth of the 
 place. There is a fine bridge over the 
 Alleghany, and another over the Monon- 
 gahela, connecting the suburbs with the 
 city. There are 16 churches, the Western 
 University, a theological seminary of the 
 Associate Reformed Church, an exchange, 
 a museum, a high school, and a number 
 of respectable private schools. The in- 
 Jiabilants are temperate, industrious and 
 enterjirising. The liills and country 
 round in the summer season wear a fertile 
 anri luxuriant appearance. Pop. 1826,

 RED R. one of the principal tributaries 
 of the Mi.ssissippi, rises at the base of the 
 Rocky Mountains, near Santa Fe. The 
 
 False Washita and Blue rs. are the mam 
 branches for near 400 m. It forms the 
 boundary between the territory of the U. 
 States and Texas, from 17^ 45' to 23° W. 
 from Washington. Entering the state of 
 Ark. it flows S. into La. and in a south- 
 easterly direction, until it cmcr.s the Mis- 
 sissippi r. inlat. 31^ N. Much of its course 
 is through rich and beautiful prairies of 
 red soil, covered with grass, and vines of 
 delicious grapes. About 100 m. above 
 Natchitoches, commences the Raft — a 
 broad swampy expansion of 20 or 30 m. 
 in width. Tlie r. here dividing into nu- 
 merous shallows, becomes covered and 
 obstructed with the masses of drift wood 
 borne from the upper streams. Boats 
 sometimes pass through these obstruc- 
 tions, and are often obliged to follow a 
 stream into a distant lake, and pass into 
 the r. below the Raft through the outlet. 
 The r. is thus impeded for about 60 or 70 
 m. But for this, steamboats could ascend 
 to the delightful region of country above 
 it. The valley of the r. for a great dis- 
 tance above its mouth, is from C to IS m. 
 wide, and of superior fertility. Cotton 
 is the staple. The whole length of this 
 noble r. is estimated at 2,-500 m.

 RHODE ISXjAKTD, one of 
 the United Stales, bounded N. and E. by 
 Massachusetts, S. by the Atlantic, and 
 W. by Connecticut. Mean length from 
 N. to S. about 42 miles; mean breadth, 
 about 29 miles ; area 1,225 square m. It 
 is the smallest state in the Union. 
 
 The surface of the country is generally 
 level, except in the NW. part, which is 
 hilly and broken. The soil is best adapt- 
 ed to grazing; but the island of Rhode 
 Island is fertile, and productive in all 
 kinds of grain. The rivers and bays af- 
 ford a great variety of excellent fish. Iron 
 abounds in considerable quantities. Cop- 
 per is also found. The principal streams 
 are the Providence, Pawtucket and Paw- 
 tuxet rs. Narraganset Bay extends from 
 S. to N. over 30 miles into the state, and 
 contains a number of islands, among 
 which are Rhode Island, Conanicut, 
 Prudence, Patience, and Hope islands. 
 Block Island lies 10 m. S. of the coast, in 
 the ocean. The climate is mild and salu- 
 brious. 
 
 The principal towns are Providence, 
 Newport, Bristol, Warwick, and Paw- 
 tucket. 
 
 The principal commercial and manu- 
 facturing interests centre in Providence 
 and the neighborhood. There are large 
 manufactures of cotton, woollen, &c. at 
 Providence, Pawtucket, Warwick, and 
 Slatersville. 
 
 The General Assembly meets usually 
 four times a year, at Providence, New- 
 port, East Greenwich, and South Kings- 
 ton. Rhode Island has no written con- 
 stil.ition, but retains the forms prescribed 
 by the charter originally granted by 
 Charles II. in 1663. 
 
 Tlicre are about 650 common schools 
 in the state, and 26,000 children of a suit- 
 able age for instruction. Tiie legislature 
 appropriates annually $10,000 for the sup- 
 port of the schools; and this amount is 
 increased by taxes laid in the towns. 
 Brown University is the only college in 
 the state. It was founded in 1764 at 
 Warren, and removed to Providence in 
 1770. 
 
 The principal religious denominations 
 are Baptists, Methodists, and Congrega- 
 tionalists. 
 
 Rhode Island was first settled at Provi-

 and healthy spot, and a frequent resort 
 for invalids from the south. A consider- 
 able portion of it is used for grazing sheep 
 and neat cattle. The other parts are in 
 a high state of cultivation. It contains 
 the townships of Newport, Middletown, 
 and Portsmouth.

 Y. situated on both sides of Genesee r. 7 
 m. S. of Lake Ontario, 73 E. of Buffalo, 
 219 W. of Albany, and 361 N. of Wash- 
 ington City. The public buildings are a 
 court house, fourteen churches, an arcade, 
 two market houses, three banks, and six 
 fine hotels. The arcade is 100 feet front, 
 135 deep, and six stories high. The 1st 
 Presbyterian and St. Paul's (Episcopal) 
 churches are fine buildings. There are 
 three bridges across the river, and a new 
 aqueduct is now being erected for the Erie 
 Canal. 
 
 Rochester owes its rise and greatness 
 to the vast water power supplied by the 
 Genesee r. Within the city limits the 
 fall of the river is 268 feet. There are 22 
 large flouring mills with 100 run of stones, 
 averaging 500,000 barrels of flour a year. 
 There are also a number of manufacto- 
 ries and saw mills. Besides a large and 
 increasing commerce by Lake Ontario, 
 its internal trade through the Erie Canal 
 1.S very extensive. Several of the lines of 
 canal boats are owned here. In a few 
 years, Rochester will also be connected 
 with Albany and Buffi^lo by rail roads, 
 which are now in a rapid course of con- 
 struction. No city west of New York 
 enjoys more of the substantial advantages 
 of prosperity. Carthage, on the Genesee 
 r. 2 m. below Rochester, and within its 
 limits, is the port at which vessels and 
 steamboats arrive, A rail road extends 
 
 from Rochester to Carthage, and it i3 pro" 
 posed to continue it to Port Genesee on tha 
 lake. 
 
 There are several literary institutions, 
 and a large number of respectable schools ^ 
 two Institutes for the promotion of edu- 
 cation, and the Franklin Institute and 
 Alha;neum. There are 7 printing offices 
 and six newspapers, two of which are 
 daily. 
 
 Rochester was founded in 1812, by 
 Nathaniel Rochester, Wm. Fitzhugh, and 
 Charles Carroll of Maryland, from the 
 first of whom it took its name. It was 
 incorporated as a village in 1817, and as 
 a city 28ih April, 18-34. It includes an 
 area of 4.324 acres. Pop. in 1820, 1,502;

 ROCKY Mountains, that part of the 
 Chippewayan chain which lies in the west- 
 ern possessions of the U. Slates, dividing 
 the streams which flow into the Pacific, 
 from those which flow towards the Atlan- 
 tic. Their extent, heii^ht, and breadth, 
 are much greater than those of the AUe- 
 ghanies. In lat. d?'' they are covered 
 with snow in July. Frequent explosions 
 and a loud rumbling noise are heard by 
 trappers who visit them, supposed to be 
 volcanic. Their appearance is dark, 
 steril, and rugged. Some of the peaks 
 are 12 to 18,000 feet high. Lewis and 
 Clarke suffered greatly in crossing these 
 mountains. On their return, in May, the 
 snow was 10 feet deep. Captain Pike, in 
 attempting to explore the southern parts 
 was completely bewildered in the snows 
 and precipices, and lost a number of his 
 party. Their geological sti'ucture, as far 
 as known, appears to be granite.

 SOUTH C ARCI.IlirA, one 
 of the United States, bounded N. by 
 North Carolina, SE. by the Atlantic, and 
 SW. and W. by Georgia. It is 200 m. 
 lon^ by 125 m. broad, containing about 
 30,000 square m. 
 The 3tate was first settled in 1670, at 
 
 Port Royal ; and Charleston was perma- 
 nently settled in 1G80. A grant was made 
 as early as 1662, by Charles II. to Lord 
 Clarendon and seven others, of the terri- 
 tory between N. lat. SP and 36° 30'. 
 The proprietary government was very 
 complex and difficult, which was increas- 
 ed by the adoption of Mr. Locke's scheme. 
 In 1719, the two Carolinas were separa- 
 ted, and organized under the royal gov- 
 ernment. Ill 1695, Governor Smith in- 
 troduced the cultivation of rice, and cotton 
 followed soon after — two very important 
 events in the history of the state. South 
 Carolina suffered much in contests with 
 the Indians, and also in the revolution, in 
 which she became distinguished. 
 
 The surface of the country along the 
 coast, and extending 100 miles into the 
 interior, is a level plain. W. of this, the 
 surface rises into ranges of little sand 
 hills, resembling the v/aves of the ocean, 
 which extend 50 or 60 miles. Beyond 
 this, the country exhibits a fine belt of 
 rich and well cultivated soil called the 
 Ridge, extending from the Savannah to 
 Broad r. ; and all W. and NW. is a beau- 
 tiful luxuriant country, resembling the 
 finest sections of the northern states. The 
 western limit of the state is mountainous. 
 The soil of South Carolina is divided 
 into six classes : — 1. The tide swamp ; 2. 
 Inland swamp ; 3. High river swamp, 
 or low grounds ; 4. Salt marsh ; 5. Oak 
 and hickory highland; 6. Pine barren. 
 The first and second classes are particu- 
 larly adapted to rice and hemp ; the third 
 to corn, hemp and indigo ; the fifth is 
 very fertile, and adapted to the cultivation 
 of corn, indigo and cotton. The pine 
 barrens are not much cultivated. Cotton 
 and rice are the great staple commodities, 
 large quantities of which are annually 
 exported. Veiy little cotton was raised 
 in the state previous to 1795. 
 
 The winters are mild, and the seasons 
 of vegetation commence as early as Janu- 
 ary and February, and continue till Octo- 
 ber or November. Snow often covers the 
 mountains, but is seldom seen in the 
 plains. For seven years in Charleston, 
 the thermometer was not known to rise 
 above 93°, or to fall below 17°. In the 
 \o\i country the inhabitants are much sub- 
 ject to fevers in the summer season ; but 
 in the more elevated regions, the air is as 
 salubrious as in any part of the United 
 States. The characteristics of the inhabi- 
 tants of South Carolina are public spirit, 
 hospitality and benevolence. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Great Pe- 
 dee, Santce, Savannah, Edisto, Congarea 
 and Wateree,

 The principal towns are Charleston, [junction of French Broad r. 52 miles; 
 
 which is the largest, Georgetown, Co 
 lumbia, the capital, Beaufort and Cam- 
 den. 
 
 The Legislature is composed of a Sen- 
 ate and House of Representatives. Sen- 
 ators are chosen for four years — represen- 
 tatives for two years. The governor is 
 chosen by the Legislature for two years, and Mississippi Rail Road," from Mem- 
 His salary is S3,500. phis, Te. to Charleston, S. C. 740 miles ; 
 
 thence by Freneli Broad and Saluda rs. 
 to Columbia, S. C. 215 miles; thence to 
 Charleston, 130 miles : total, (JOl miles. 
 
 There have also been tliree routes ex- 
 plored, for the purpose of connecting the 
 Atlantic with the Mississippi. 
 
 1. " The northern rfiute of the Atlantic 
 
 The principal denominations of Chris- 
 tians are Presbyterians, Baptists, MeUio- 
 dists and Episcopalians. 
 
 Education is encouraged by an annual 
 appropriation for that purpose. The 
 
 [)rincipal literary institutions are the Col- 
 ege of S. Carolina, at Columbia, founded 
 in 1804, which has nine instructors, an 
 average of 150 students, and 10,000 vol- 
 umes in the library; and Ciiarleston Col- 
 lege, founded in 1785, which has seven 
 instructors, and an average of 65 students.

 Internal Improvements, — The Santee 
 Canal extends from Charleston liarbor to 
 the Santee r. 22 miles ; finished in 1802 ; 
 cost S650,667. By tliis canal, and the 
 improvement of the Santee and Congaree 
 rs. a water communication has been open- 
 ed from Charleston to Columbia. 
 
 The Catawba r. has been improved by 
 five short canals, amounting in all to Hi 
 miles. 
 
 Saluda Canal, from the Saluda Shoals 
 to Granby Ferry, on the Congaree, 6 m. 
 
 There are several other small canals

 The South Carolina Rail Road, extends 
 from Charleston to Hamburg, on the Sa- 
 vaimah r. ; length 136 miles ; completed 
 in 1833. 
 
 The great project of forming a rail road 
 communication from Charleston to Cin- 
 cinnati and Louisville, on the Ohio r. has 
 been undertaken ; charters have been pro- 
 cured from the several states, surveys 
 made, and a considerable portion of the 
 subscriptions paid in. The distance in a 
 straight line between Charleston and Cin- 
 cinnati is 520 miles. The distance on the 
 route of the proposed road is 607 miles, 
 as follows :— From Cincinnati to Cum- 
 berland Gap, 210 miles; thence to the 
 
 estimated cost, if 15,000,000.

 Clinch rivers, 356 miles — more than one- 
 third the entire route. Estimated cost of 
 the part surveyed, S6,500,000.

 TENNESSEE R. an important tribu- 
 tary of the Ohio, formed principally by 
 two main branches, Holston and Clincn 
 rs. in Tennessee, which rise in the Alle- 
 
 ?:hany Mountains in the SW. part of Va. 
 t thence flows S. into Alabama, crosses 
 the N. part of that state, and again enters 
 26* 
 
 Tennessee ; crossing the state N. it enters 
 Kentucky, and falls into the Ohio r. 57 
 m. above its mouth, and 13 m. below the 
 mouth of Cumberland r. Its entire length 
 is about 1,200 m. ; for near 1,000 m. it is 
 navigable, having but few obstructions. 
 Its principal head branches are Clinch, 
 Holston, French Broad, Nolachucky, 
 Tellico and Richland rs. It flows through 
 a country the greater part of which is re- 
 markable for its fertility. 
 
 TENNHSSHH, one of the U. 
 States, bounded N. by Kentucky and 
 Virginia, E. by North Carolina, S. by 
 Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and 
 W. by Arkansas and Missouri. It is 
 430 m. long by 104 broad, containing 
 40,(X)0 square m. 
 
 The earliest permanent settlement was 
 made in 1757, by the erection of Fort 
 Loudon. Between 1765 and 1770, settle- 
 ments were made on the Holston r. by 
 inhabitants from Virginia and N. Caro- 
 lina, which were much harassed by In- 
 dian warfare. The territory continued to 
 form a part of North Carolina until 1790, 
 when it was organized into a separate 
 territorial government, which continued 
 until 1796, when a state constitution was 
 formed ; and on the 1st June of the same 
 year, Tennessee was admitted into the 
 Union as an independent state. 
 
 The state is divided into East and West 
 Tennessee by the Cumberland Mountains, 
 which extend in a NE. and SW. direc- 
 tion. The E. part is hilly, and rises to 
 the chain of mountains which form the 
 eastern boundary of the state. These are 
 known by the names of Stone, Unaka, 
 Bald, and Iron or Smoky Mountains. 
 The middle and western parts of the state 
 are level and undulating. The soil is ex- 
 ceedingly various. The valleys in the 
 eastern section are very fertile, containing 
 large proportions of lime. In the middle, 
 much of the land is of an indifferent 
 quality. In the west it is rich and pro- 
 ductive. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Tennessee, 
 Cumberland, Clinch, Holston, Forked 
 Deer, Big Hatchee, Obion and French 
 Broad. 
 
 The climate is generally healthy. The 
 winters are mild, and the summers are 
 pleasant. 
 
 Cotton is the staple production. Wheat, 
 corn, rye and barley are also raised. 
 There are no extensive manufactories; 
 but iron, cotton and hemp have been man- 
 ufactured to a considerable extent. 
 
 Some of the most remarkable features in 
 the state, are the bold and picturesque 
 scenery of the mountains, with their lofty 
 
TEN

 THO 
 
 precipitous sides; the numerous cascades 
 falling from 200 to 400 feet ; and caves of 
 such immense depths and extent that some 
 of them have never been fathomed or ex- 
 plored. One of these caves was descend- 
 ed 400 feet to the bottom, which was of 
 smooth limestone, where was tbund a 
 stream of water sufficient to turn a mill. 
 Some of the caves have been explored 10 
 or 12 miles. " On some spurs of the Cum- 
 berland Mountains," says Mr. Flint, " are 
 marked in solid limestone, the footsteps 
 of men, horses, and other animals, asfresli 
 as if recently made, and as distinct as if 
 impressed upon clay-mortar." Near the 
 S. boundary are found trees in an entire 
 state of petrifaction, one of which is a 
 cypress four feet in diameter. Bones are 
 found, which indicate an animal 20 feet 
 high. Walls of faced stone exist in vari- 
 ous pkices, and other works of a people 
 now unknown. On some of the higliest 
 rocks are paintings, in good preservation, 
 the colors as fresh as if recently put on. 
 The foot-prints of animals and human

 TROY, city & c. t. Rensselaer co. N. 
 Y. 6 m. N. of Albany, on the E, bank of 
 Hudson r. at the head of tide. Its situa- 
 tion is handsome and elevated, and the 
 streets are regularly laid out. There are 
 13 churches, some of which are very ele- 
 gant, 4 banks, a court house, of marble, 
 a jail, an orphan asylum, and several 
 respectable academies, seminaries, and 
 scientific institutions. It is a place of 
 extensive business. The inhabitants 
 have long been distinguished for public 
 spirit, literary taste, and commercial en- 
 terprize. A large number of vessels and 
 boats are owned here, which do business 
 on the r. with N. York, and on the canal. 
 The houses are mostly of brick, many 
 of them Im-ge and elegant. The city is 
 supplied with water, by means of pipes, 
 from an eminence of 72 feet, in the neigh- 
 borhood. Poesten Kill, which empties 
 into the Hudson in the S. part of the 
 town, affords a first rate water power for 
 manufactories and flouring mills. Large 
 quantities of grain are purchased annu- 
 ally, and manufactured into flour. The 
 roads in the neighborhood of Troy are 
 very superior, some of which are Mac- 
 adamized. A rail road is constructed to 
 Ballston Spa, 24 miles long. It crosses 
 the r. on a bridge 1,600 feet long. The

 It is one of the most flourishing inland 
 towns in the state. Its increase in wealth, 
 trade, and manufactures, has been very 
 great, especially since the completion of 
 the Erie Canal. It is 96 m. W. of Alba- 
 ny. 140 E. of Piochester, by canal, and 
 202 E. of Buff'alo. It contains 16 houses 
 of public worship, some of whicli are 
 very elegant, 3 banks, and numerous re- 
 ligious, benevolent, and literary institu- 
 tions, including lycevmis, libraries, aca- 
 demies, and various seminaries in whicii 
 the higher branches of education are 
 tausrht. Many of the dwellings are ve- 
 ry lieautiful. The stores are numerous, 
 and well built. All the varieties of me- 
 chanical and manufacturing industry are 
 actively employed. The hotels are large, 
 and well conducted. There are six week- 
 ly papers, three of them religious. Nu- 
 merou.s canal boats are constantly arri- 
 ving and departing, loaded with freight 
 and merchandise. A rail road from Sche- ! 
 nectady terminates here, and another to 
 Syracuse will shortly be in operation. 
 The Utica & Schenectady Rail Road was 
 opened on the 25tli July, ls3(). The dis- 
 tance is 77 m. The first trip was made, 
 
 exclusive of stoppages, in 3 honrs 29 
 minutes. The population of the city has 
 increased very rapidly. In 1820, it was 
 2,972; 1825, 5,040; 1830, 8,323; 1840,

 fore by the French. In 1731 the French 
 made a settlement at Crown Point, and 
 built a fort. New York and New Hamp- 
 shire both laid claim to the territory of 
 Vermont, giving rise to many disputes, 
 ■which were protracted until the revolution. 
 In 1778 a constitution was adopted, and 
 Vermont declared to be an indepen- 
 dent state. In 1791, she was admitted 
 into the Union. Vermont bore a distin- 
 guished part in the revolution. Her 
 troops were called the " Green Mountain 
 boys." 
 
 The Green Mountains, from which Ver- 
 mont receives her name, on account of the 
 evergreens which cover them, range 
 through the centre of the state from S. to 
 N. They are from 12 to 15 miles wide, 
 and completely covered with wood and 
 shrubs. On the tops the trees are small, 
 and diminish into shrubbery of spruce 
 and hemlock. The summits of the moun- 
 tains are generally broken and rocky, and 
 the sides in many places precipitous. 
 The highest elevations are Killington 
 Peak, near Rutland ; Camel's Rump, be- 
 tween Burlington and Montpelier: and 
 Mansfield Mountain, which rise from 
 3,500 to 4,000 feet above tide. 
 
 The principal rivers are the Connecti- 
 cut, (which forms the E. boundary,) On- 
 ion, La Moille, Missinqua, and Otter cr. 
 which fall into Lake Champlain, and 
 "White, Pasumpsic and West rs. which 
 flow into the Connecticut. Lake Mem- 
 phremagog is in the N. part of the state. 
 
 The chief towns are Burlington, Mid- 
 dlebury, Windsor, Bennington, Brattle- 
 boro', and Montpelier, the capital. 
 
 The climate is cold and severe in win- 
 ter, but the air is pure and healthy. The 
 soil in many parts is fertile, but it is chief- 
 ly appropriated to raising stock. Large 
 flocks of the finest sheep are to be seen on 
 the rich pastures, and great quantities of 
 wool are annually produced. Since the 
 completion of the Champlain Canal, much 
 of the trade finds its v/ay to New York. 
 There is also considerable trade with 
 Montreal. Iron exists in great abun- 
 dance. Lead, zinc and copper are found 
 in many parts of the state. 
 
 The principal denominations of Chris- 
 tians are Congregationalists and Baptists, 
 of which the former are the most numer- 
 ous. 
 
 The Legislature consists of a Senate 
 and House of Representatives. The Sen- 
 ate has 30 members — the House has one 
 representative from each town. They 
 are all elected annually. The governor 
 is elected annually, with a salary of S750. 
 
 There are three colleges in the state : — 
 
 The University of Vermont, at Burling- 
 ton, founded in 1791, which contain.? 
 9,000 volumes in the college and students'' 
 libraries ; Middlebury College, founded 
 in 1800, with libraries of 0,000 volumes; 
 and Norwicli University, founded 1834. 
 Considerable attention is paid to the gen- 
 eral education of the young. The schools 
 are supported by yearly taxes, and a fimd 
 is now accumulating, the income of which 
 is to be a})plied to supporting free schools. 
 
 Population at diflferent periods: in 1790, 
 85,539; 1800, 154,405; 1810, 217,895;

 Internal Jmprovcmcnts. — Except some 
 small canals for the improvement of the 
 Connecticut river, no canal or rail road 
 has yet been constructed in this state. In 
 1835, ihe following rail road companies 
 were incorporated : 
 
 " Vermont Central Rail Road Compa- 
 ny," for a rail road from Lake Champlain 
 along the valley of Onion r. to a point on 
 the Connecticut r. to meet a projected rail 
 road through New Hampshire, by way 
 of Concord, to Boston. 
 
 The Brattleboro' and Bennington Rail 
 Road Company ; the Connecticut and 
 Pasumpsic River Rail Road Company; 
 and the Rutland and Connecticut River 
 Rail Road Company.

 VIRGIIfflAjOne of the United 
 States, Ijounded N. and NE. by Pennsyl- 
 vania and Maryland, E. by tlie Atlantic, 
 S. by jNorth Carolina and Tennessee, and 
 W. and NW. by Kentucky. It is the 
 largest state in the Union. Its average 
 length E. and W. is 355 miles; average 
 breadth 190 miles, comprising an area of 
 65,600 square miles. 
 
 Virginia, sometimes called the " An- 
 cient Dominion," Vv-as the first settled of 
 all the American colonies, and was named 
 in honor of Elizabeth the virgin queen. 
 James river was discovered in 1G07, by 
 an expedition under Captain Newport, 
 accompanied by the celebrated Captain 
 Smith. They formed a settlement at 
 Jamestown, and suffered much by famine 
 and the hostilities of the Indians. Smith 
 was taken prisoner, and when about to 
 be executed, he was saved by the interpo- 
 sition of Pocahontas, tiie king's daughter. 
 Such were the sufferings of the colonists, 
 that the remnant which remained were on 
 the eve of departure for England in 1610, 
 when the timely arrival of lord Delaware 
 prevented it. In 1620, a Dutch vessel ar- 
 rived in James river with 20 African 
 slaves, which was the first introduction of 
 slavery into the North American colonies. 
 In 1622, the Indians made a sudden and 
 desperate attack upon the settlers, and 
 347 whites, including women and chil- 
 dren, were dreadfully massacred. A se- 
 vere and vindictive war followed this 
 aggression, all improvements were for a 
 while suspended, and the colonists, re- 
 duced and harassed, were again disposed 
 to abandon the country. Relief was im- 
 mediately despatched from England, and 
 the direction of affairs was confided to a 
 governor and council appoitUed by the 
 king. After various vicissitudes, the 
 colony settled down into tranquillity, and 
 the settlements had extended beyond the 
 mountains, when in 1753 the French 
 made hostile encroachments, which again 
 involved the colony in the calamities of 
 war. It was during tliis war that the 
 youthful Washington first distinguished 
 himself, and gave presage of that renown 
 which attended his future career. Be- 
 sides the Father of his Country, Virginia 
 gave birth to many illustrious citizens 
 and statesmen, who bore a conspicuous 
 part in the revolution, and added to the 
 glory of their native state in the noble 
 efforts she made throughout the great 
 struggle for liberty. In 1776 a constitu- 
 
 tion was formed ; which was revised ift 
 1S30, by a convention, over which the 
 venerable ex-president Madison presided. 
 Of the eight presidents of the United 
 States, Virginia has given four. 
 
 Tiie surface of the state presents several 
 parallel chains of mountains, commencing 
 about 180 miles from the sea, and running 
 in a SW. direction. The AUeghanies 
 have their widest base in this state, occu- 
 ..pying the central region from 80 to 100 
 miles in breadth. Between these ridges 
 are valleys of the greatest fertility. The 
 eastern section is generally level, the soil 
 sandy, and not very productive, except 
 along the rivers, which is exceedingly fer- 
 tile. Above the falls of the rivers, the 
 land is better, and admits of profitable 
 cultivation. The section west of the Al- 
 leghanies is mountainous and broken, 
 interspersed with rich valleys and lime- 
 stone country ; a large portion of which 
 is covered with forest trees. The climate 
 is diversified according to the face of the 
 country. In the low alluvial parts, it is 
 hot and unhealthy ; the summers are long 
 and oppressive, and the winters mild and 
 agreeable. In the mountainous districts, 
 the weather is considerably colder, and 
 the air more salubrious. 
 
 Iron ore, lead, coal and gypsum, abound 
 in the mountain region, and gold has been 
 obtained in the eastern part of the state, 
 between the Potomac and James rivers — 
 chiefly in Spottsylvania co. and neigh- 
 borhood. Salt springs are numerous. 
 There are many mineral springs in the 
 mountains, and hot springs in Bath county 
 and neighborhood. Among the natural 
 curiosities of Virginia, the greatest are 
 Weyers cave, and the natural bridge. 
 The former is in Augusta county, and 
 was discovered in 180(!, by a hunter, 
 whose name it bears. The splendor and 
 magnificence of its halls and apartments 
 exceed all description. The natural 
 bridge, or rock bridge, is formed by a 
 great rock thrown across an enormous 
 chasm about 200 feet deep. The bridge 
 is 60 feet wide at top, and covered with 
 trees. There is another natural bridge 
 in the SW. part of the state, but of much 
 less size and proportion. There is alsc 
 another cave on Jackson river, near 
 Covington, of greater extent, but less 
 beautiful than Weyers cave. 
 
 The chief agricultural productions are 
 tobacco, wheat, and Indian corn. In the 
 east part nearly all the labor is performed 
 by slaves. There is not much attention 
 paid to manufactures. There are some 
 cotton factories, and a considerable quanr 
 tity of salt is manufactured yearly. 
 
VIR 3! 
 
 The most numerous religious sect are 
 the Baptists. There are, also, a hirge 
 number of Presbyterians, Methodists, and 
 Episc&|3alians. 
 
 The princijjal rivers in Virginia, are 
 the Potomac, Shenandoah, James, Rap- 
 pahannock, York, Mattapony, Pamunky, 
 Staunton, Great Kanawha, Little Kana- 
 wha, and Monongahela. The chief 
 towns are, Richmond, the capital, Nor- 
 folk, Petersburg, Wheeling, Fredericks- 
 burg, Lynchburg, Williamsburg, York- 
 town, and Portsmouth. 
 
 Mount Vernon, celebrated as the resi- 
 dence of Washington, is on the western 
 shore of the Potomac, 15 m. below Wash- 
 ington City. His tomb is a simple exca- 
 vation in the side of a bank, walled with 
 brick, and overgrown with cedars. 
 
 The Legislature consists of a Senate 
 and House of Representatives. The 
 senators are chosen for 4 years, the re- 
 presentatives annually. The governor 
 is elected for 3 years, and receives a sa- 
 lary of S3,333 33. 
 
 There are five colleges in the state. 
 William & Mary College, at Williams- 
 burg, founded 1693, has 4,.500 volumes in 
 tlie library ; Hampden Sidney College, 
 Prince Edward county, founded 1783, 
 has 8,500 volumos in the library ; Wasii- 
 ington College, at Lexington, founded 
 1812, has 1,500 volumes; the Universi- 
 ty of Virginia, at Charlottesville, found- 
 ed 1819, has about 11,000 volumes; and 
 Randolph-Macon College, at Boydton, 
 founded 183'2. There are three Theolo- 
 gical schools or departments: one at 
 Richmond, one in Prince Edward county, 
 and one in Fairfax county. There is a 
 school fund of about ^1,580,000, produ- 
 cing an annual revenue of near S^O.OOO. 
 Of the expenditure for education, 5i;45,O0O 
 only, are given to the common schools, 
 the balance to the University. The 
 number of banks in the state, according 
 to a letter of the secretary of the treasu- 
 ry, dated January 4, 1837, was four, 
 with eiijhteen branches, and a capital of 
 SG.71 1,300.

 IS from 30 to S'^0, while those otherwise 
 supported, cost from 40 to S80 a year. 
 
 Internal Improvements. — The Dismal

 The James River and KenawhaCom. 
 pany, was incorporated in 1832, with a 
 capital of $5,000,000, to connect the James 
 r. with the Kenawha by means of a canal 
 and rail road, thus forming the nearest 
 communication between the Ohio r. and 
 the Atlantic. The state has subscribed 
 near $2,000,000 of the capital. The com- 
 pany commenced operations in 1835. 
 The state has also subscribed $250,000 
 to the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. 
 
 Large sums have been expended by in- 
 corporated companies for the navigation 
 of rivers, among which are the following: 
 Roanoke navigation ; cost, $41(1,181. Ri- 
 vanna ; cost, $78,400. A company was 
 incorporated in 1834, for the improvement 
 of the Shenandoah and its branches ; ca- 
 pital, $500,000. Banister River Naviga- 
 tion Company, incorporated 1835 ; capi- 
 tal, $20,000.

 In addition to the above, about 20 rail 
 road companies have been incorporated 
 in 1835 and 1836, embracing a capital of 
 nearly $113,000,000, but as the greater 
 portion of them will not probably be 
 commenced for some years to come, they 
 are not here inserted.

 WASHINGTON City, in the District 
 of Columbia, the seat of the general gov- 
 
 ernment, is situated on the NE. side of 
 Potomac river, near the head of tide, and 
 about 125 miles from its mouth, and 295 
 from the ocean. The plan of the city is 
 admirably laid out for the display of the 
 jiublic buildings. The avenues are 10 in 
 number, and named after different states. 
 These diverge from two principal centres, 
 at one of which is the President's house, 
 and at the other the capitol. The smaller 
 streets generally cross each other at right 
 angles. The Pennsylvania avenue, 
 which is beautifully adorned with trees, 
 forms a direct communication between 
 the capitol and the President's house. 
 The city is laid out on a plan embracing 
 upwards of 8 square miles, but the build- 
 ings occupy but a small portion of that 
 surface, and are much scattered. 
 
 The capitol is a splendid edifice, of the 
 Corinthian order, built of white freestone. 
 Its dimensions are as follows : 
 
 Length of front, 350 ft. 
 
 Depth of wings, 121 
 
 East projection, 65 
 
 West do. 83 
 
 Height of wings, 70 
 
 Height of centre dome, 120 
 
 Length of representatives' hall, 95 
 Height of do. 60 
 
 Length of senate chamber, 74 
 
 Height of do. 42 
 
 Height of rotunda, 90 
 
 Diameter of do. 90 
 
 Cost of the building, upwards of 
 $2,000,000. 
 
 The capitol contains several pieces of 
 sculpture, a fine library of 25,000 volumes, 
 and the national paintings, by Trumbull. 
 The square on which it is situated, con- 
 tains 22^ acres, and is enclosed by a sub- 
 stantial iron railing. 
 
 The President's house is a beautiful 
 building of freestone. 170 feet long by 85 
 wide, and two stories high, with a high 
 basement, ornamented with a circular 
 Ionic portico. It is about a mile west of 
 the capitol. 
 
 There arc several other large buildings 
 for the accommodation of the departments 
 of the treasury, secretary of state, patent 
 office, general post office, &c. There are 
 also, in the city and suburbs, an extensive 
 navy yard, marine barracks, an armory, 
 and a penitentiary. Columbian college is 
 situated a mile N. of the President's 
 house. It has 8 professors, and 4,000 
 volumes in the library. The population 
 of Washington City, in 1820, was 13,247 ; 
 in 1840, 23,364. It will probably never 
 be a city of much commercial importance, 
 owing its advantages almost entirely to 
 its being tlie seat of the national govern- 
 
WAS 
 
 327 
 
 WAS 
 
 ment; hnt its population is constantly and 
 rapidly increasing. In the winter, dinin*; 
 the session of Congress, it is a place of 
 much fashion and gaiety. 
 
 The city was laid out under the direc- 
 tion of Washington, while President. 
 The seat of government was removed 
 there from Philadelphia, in 1800, and it 
 was incorporated in 180"2. In August, 
 1814, the capitol, President's hou.se, and 
 public offices were burnt by the British, 
 under General Ross, together with the 
 valuable public library. The public build- 
 ings were rebuilt soon after the war. The 
 capitol is in N. lat. 38° 52' 54"; W. long, 
 from Greenwich, 77 •' 1' 48".

 WEST Point, Orange co. N. Y. the 
 seat of the United States Military Acad-

 the revolution ; suuatod on the W. side 
 of the Hudson, 51 miles above New-York. 
 From the singular projection of this point 
 •he river is here but half a mile wide; a 
 * aain was stretched across in the revolu- 
 
 tionary war, to prevent the passage of the 
 enemy's ships. This was* protected by 
 fort Clinton, which was erected on the 
 eminence, 188 feet high; and on an island 
 near the opposite bank of the river, other 
 batteries were erected. Back of fort Clin- 
 ton, and on a still higher point, 598 feet 
 above the river, fort Putnam was erected, 
 which covered the works below, and 
 commanded tiic river. Tiiis strong po- 
 sition, so important to the Americans, 
 was equally desired by the British. To 
 deliver this fortress and all the garrison 
 into the hands of the enemy, was the ob- 
 ject of Arnold's treason, for which the un- 
 fortunate Andre suffered. The plain on 
 which the academy, barracks, &c. are 
 situated, covers about 250 acres of land. 
 There is an excellent hotel kept in the 
 best manner, for the accommodation of 
 visiters. The academy was Cotablished 
 in 1802. The number of cadets is lim- 
 ited to 250, who are destined for officers 
 of the army. Their age on admission 
 must be between 14 and 22. The cost 
 of each cadet to government is about 335 
 dollars annually. They encamp about 8 
 weeks during tlie year. There are 30 
 professors and instructors, and the course 
 of study occupies 4 years. A chaste mar- 
 ble monument bearing the name of 
 Kosciusko, erected by tl/fe pupils, stands 
 on the bank near the river.

 WHITE Mountains, N. H. a rid^e 
 ■with several important elevations, extends 
 in the southern part of the state ; the high- 
 est of which is called Moosehillock, and 
 is upwards of 4,600 feet high. In Coos co. 
 in the northern part of the state, the White 
 Mountains reach their greatest elevation. 
 They are the highest mountains in the 
 U. S. except the Rocky Mountains, and 
 are celebrated for their bold and magnifi- 
 cent scenery. Mount Washington, the 
 loftiest summit, is 6,428 feet above the le- 
 vel of the sea, and is composed of im- 
 mense rocks of granite and gneiss, fantas- 
 tically heaped up by nature. The view 
 from the top is indescribably sublime and 
 beautiful. The highest summits are cov- 
 ered with snow the greater part of the 
 year. They are sometimes seen from the 
 sea 60 m. distant. The other principal 
 eminences are Mounts Adams, Jefferson, 
 Madison, Monroe, Franklin, and Pleas- 
 ant, which are from 4,340 to 5,385 feet 
 high. A remarkable feature is a gap, 
 called The Notch, which forms a passage 
 between these rugged steeps, by which 
 travellers may ascend to the top of Mount 
 Washington.

 IOWA territory comprises all that por- 
 tion of country lying west of the Missis- 
 sippi river, north of the state of Missouri, 
 east of the Missouri river, and south of 
 the line between the United States and 
 the British possessions. It was organized 
 into a separate territorial government by 
 Congress in June, 1838. The country in 
 the southern and southwestern parts of 
 the territory is rich, beautiful, and undula- 
 ting, containing much excellent timber and 
 rich prairies ; the greater part of which 
 is well watered with springs and mill 
 streams. The settlement of the territory 
 is extending very rapidly. The principal 
 streams which flow thi'ough the surveyed 
 part, are the Des Moines, Skunk, Iowa, 
 "Wapsipinecon, T'orkey, Makoqueta, and 
 Yellow rivers. The Upper Iowa and St. 
 Peter's rivers are in the more northern 
 parts of the territory. 
 
 The legislative power is vested in the 
 governor, and a legislative assembly which 
 meets annually, on the 1st Monday in 
 December, at Iowa city, the seat of gov- 
 ernment. It consists of 13 members of 
 the council, elected for two years, and a 
 house of representatives consisting of 26 
 members, elected annually. 
 
 The governor is appointed for 3 years, 
 and receives a salary of $2,500. Mem- 
 bers of the legislature receive $3 a day, 
 and $3 for every 20 miles' travel. 
 
 The judges are appointed for 4 years, 
 and receive a salary of $1,800 each. 
 
 The sum of $20,000 was appropriated 
 by the general government, for the erec- 
 tion of public buildings at the seat of 
 government, $20,000 for the erection of 
 penitentiary, at Fort Madison, and $5,000 
 for a library. 
 
 The population of the territory in 1838, 
 was 22,859, and in 1840, 43,111, of which 
 Van Buren county contained 6,146 ; Lee, 
 6,093 ; Des Moines, 5,575 ; Henrj', 3,772 ;
