In 1820, 41,879 1827, 93,008 1830, 117,294 ALA 5 The principal rivers are the Ala baina, Tombigbee, Black Warrioi, Coosa, Tallapoosa, Tennessee, Cha- tahoochee, Perdido, and Cahawba. Cotton is the staple of the state. Other productions are corn, rice, wheat, rye, oats, &c. The sugar- cane, the vine, and the olive, it is supposed, may be cultivated with success. Coal abounds on the Ca- hawba, the Black Warrior, &o. ; and valuable iron ore is found in some parts of the state. The climate of the southern part of the bottom land bordering on the rivers, arid cf the country border- ng on the Muscle Shoals, is un- healthy. In the elevated part of the cgtmtry, the climate is very fine; the Winters are mild, and the sum- lers pleasant, being tempered by breezes from the Gulf of Mexico. The Cherokee and the Creek In dians possess a large tract in the eastern part of Alabama ; and the 'Jhoctaws and Chickasaws have possessions in the west. In 1831 there were three banks in his state, including a branch of he United States Bank at Mobile. Alabama was erected into a ter- 'itorial government in 1817; the 'nhabitants formed a constitution n 1819 ; and in 1820, it was admit- ed into the Union. The annual salary of the gov- ernor is $2,000. This state sends five representatives to Congress. ALABAMA, t. Genessee co. N. Y. Pop. 783. ALABAMA, t. Monroe co.

ALBANY, city, Albany co. the capital of New York, and the sec- ond town in population, wealth and commerce in the state, stands on the W. bank of the Hudson, 150 m. N. of New York, 165 W. of Bos- ton, 230 S. of Montreal, and 370 from W. N. lat. 42O 39'. E. long 3 17' from W. It is neatly and in some parts handsomely built. It contains 10 public buildings. The capital, built^upon the upper por tion of the city, has an elevatec position. It is 115 feet in length and 90 in breadth. The City Hall situated 'on the same square, is a noble building of white marble The academy, directly north of it is a spacious and showy building The Farmers' and Mechanics 1 Bank and the Albany Bank, at the bot -ALB ,oiu of State street, are of white narble. The Museum is a hand- some building in South Market street. State street, in its whole ength, is remarkably wide, and shows to great advantage. The lumber of churches is 16, of which i are of stone, 7 of brick, and 3 of wood. Canal wharf and quay are of great length, and exhibit a strik- ng show of business and bustle. Few cities present a more beauti- ul prospect than Albany, when een from the public square, or the ummit of the capital. The city lopes from the public square to the iver, like the sides of an amphi- heatre. Its canal communications vith lake Champlain, the northern akes, and the Ohio valley, give it mrivalled advantages of this sort. "VIore stages daily arrive and depart >om this city, than any other of he size in the Union, being more han 100 daily. Its literary, hu- nane, and religious institutions are of a very respectable class, and t issues 6 or 7 periodical publica- ions. Its population in 1820 was 12,630 ; in 1830, 24,216, having near- y doubled its population in ten /ears. A more emphatic illustra- tion of the tendency of the canal system could not be given. There are in the city 3 flour mills, 2 wool- en manufactories, 2 do. cotton and woollen, 1 distillery, 5 breweries, manufactories of oil-cloths, and a ery extensive cap manufactory which employs 200 males and 450 "emales, and pays $1,800 in weekly wages.

In metallic wealth, Arkansas is productive in iron ore, gypsum, and common salt Cotton, Indian corn, flour, peltry salted provisions, and lumber, are the staples of the territory. Ar- kansas was among the most an- cient settlements of the French in Louisiana. That nation had a hunting and trading post on the Arkansas river as early as the be- ginning of the eighteenth century ; but, from the peculiar situation of the adjacent country, the settle- ments upon that river made little advance before the transfer of Louisiana to the United States. Since that period, Arkansas has been involved in the various vicis- situdes of the country of which it [formed a part.

Tlu strait which connects the bay wit! the river is very narrow, scarcely a pistol-shot across, and is well de- fended by Fort M'Henry. A small river, called Jones' Falls, empties into the north side of the harbor, and divides the city into two parts called the Town and Fell's Point, which are connected by bridges At Fell's Point, the water is deep enoutih for vessels of 500 or COO tons, hut none larger than 200 tons can go up to the town.

The Battle Monument, erected to the memory of those who fell in bravely defend- up their city from the attack of the British on the 12th and 13th of Sept. 1814, is a handsome structure of marble, situated on a large square n North Calvert street. The city s generally well built. The houses are chiefly of brick ; many of them are handsome, and some splendid. The streets intersect each other at ight angles. Baltimore is supplied with water taken from Jones' Falls, and conveyed to reservoirs, whence t is distributed to every part of the city. There are several literary nstitutions in this city. A medical college was founded in 1^-07. In 1812. the institution was enlarged, and received a new charter.

CAPE BRETON, an island forming part of the British dominions in America, lying between the N. end of Nova Scotia, and the SW. point of Newfoundland. It extends, in a N. by E direction, from the lat of 450 "30' to 470 6' N., and from the Ion. 5D 45' to 61O 35' W., form ing a barrier between the Atlantic icean and the gulf, which it com- pletely landlocks, and forms into a vast inland sea ; the passage be- ;ween the NE. end and New found- arid being about C5 m. wide, in- tercepted, however, by the island if St. Paul, and just within the ?ulf by the Magdalen group of sles. Cape Breton is indented from V. to S. by spacious bays, dividing c into two islands, joined together by a very narrow isthmus. The coast on all sides is also much in- lented by bays, making the figure of the land very irregular. Its area, owever, amounts to about 40,000 sq. ms The French first formed a settlement upon this island, in 171-2, which surrendered to a Brit- sh force from New England, in 1745, and was confirmed, with all the other French possessions in North America, to England, by the treaty of 1713. Its most distin- guishing property is its rich strata of coal of superior quality; with some dreary surface it also pre- sents some Very fertile spots, well wooded, and containing a variety of wild animals, the skins of which form a branch of its traffic. Lou- isbourg, the chief town, is situated on the Atlantic coast, in the lat. of 450 54' N., Ion. 590 55' W. The chief occupation of the people, not only of Lonisbourg, but of the whole island, in addition to agri culture, is the cod fishery, which hey pursue to some extent for the West India and other markets. Total population of the island, about 4,000. It was constituted a eparate government in 1784, un- der a lieutenant-governor, appoint- ed by the king ; but by a stretch of authority on the part of the legis. "ative assembly and council of Nova Scotia, it has reverted as a prov. 'nee to that government, to which t was originally attached.

The ride to the foot of thehbe traced to the distance of nearly mountain is not particularly in teresting but as you ascend, every moment develops something mag- nificent and new. The sides of the mountain, steep and seemingly in- accessible, tower far above you. clothed in the rich, deep foliasre peculiar to such regions; while below your path a clear stream runs, one moment bubbling over its rocky bed, and the next leapinc down in cascades to the valley. The road is extremely circuitous and so completely hejnmed in by the luxuriant growth [seventy miles with the naked eye; and again at times all below is [enveloped in dark cloud and rolling mist, which, driven about by the wind, is continually assuming new, wild, and fantastic forms. From the Pine Orchard a ride or walk of a mile or two brings you to the Kauterskill falls. Here the outlet of two email lakes, leaps down a perpendicular fall of 130 feet then glides away through a channel worn in the rock, to a second fall _., f)f feet. Below this it is lost in f forettlthe dark ravine through which it G2 A U C E D finds its way to the valley of the Catskill. The waterfall, bold as it is, forms, however, but one of the many interesting features of this scene. Standing on the edge of the first fall, you look down into a dreary chasm, whose steep sides, covered with the dark ivy and the thick foliage of summer, seem like a green bed prepared for the recep- tion of the waters. Making a cir- cuit from this spot, and descending about midway of the first fall, you enter a footpath which conducts into an immense natural amphi- theatre behind the waterfall. The effect of this scene is imposing beyond description. Far over your head projects a smooth surface of rock, forming a magnificent ceiling to this amphitheatre. In front is the ever-falling water, and beyond. the wild mountain dell with the clear blue sky above. CAUGHNEWAGA, v. Montgomery co. N. Y., 404 m. from W T .,'39 W. from Albany. CAV.ULLON, t.

The soil, in its natural state, is sterile The climate is esteemed very healthy. The latitude of the Capi tol is 3tP 50' 45" north, and within a very small fraction, 77 west fron London. The mean temperature about 55 Fahrenheit; similar to that of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Richmond. The situation of the District is such that it has b come the centre of a very extensive commerce. The quantity of flon and other domestic produce, brought down the Potomac annually, is very considerable. The principal ship pin? interest of this district centres at Alexandria, but extensive busi ness is also done at Georgetown The amount of exports in 1830 was 753,973 dollars, and the shipping about 21 ,750 tons. At the junction of the east branch with the Poto mac, the United States have a navy-yard, to which vessels of thi largest tonnage can ascend. Then are three colleges in the District Columbia College, a seminar chiefly under the direction of the Baptist denomination, is situate( near Washington ; Georgetown College, a Roman Catholic institu ion, at Georgetown ; and an Epis- ;opal Theological Seminary in the icinityof Alexandria.

The following, having the populatio annexed for 1831, are some of the most considerable towns: New Al- bany, about 2,500; Madison, about 2,000; Vincennes, about 1,800; Rich- mond, about 1,500; Indianapolis, about 1,200 ; Salem, about 1,000. In- dianapolis is the capital of the state. The principal rivers are the Ohio, Wabash,White RiverWhitewater, Tippecanoe, Illinois, Plein, Theaki- ki, St. Joseph's, and St. Mary's. There are no mountains in In- diana; the country, however, is more hilly than the territory of I11J. nois, particularly towards Ohio r A range of hills, called the Knobs extends from the falls of the Ohio lo the Wabash, in a south-west di rectiori, which, in many places, pro duces a broken and uneven surface North of these hills lie the flal woods, 70 miles wide. Bordering on all the principal streams, excepl the Ohio, there are strips of botton and prairie land ; both togethei from three to fix miles in width Between the Wabash and Lake Michigan, the country is mostlj champaign, abounding alternate!;! with wood-lands, prairies, lakes and swamps. The principal pro ductionsof this state are wheat Indian corn, rye, oats, barley, buck wheat, potatoes, p.ilse, beef, pork butter, whiskey, and pencil-brandy Not far from Big Blue river there i; a large cave, the entrance of which is on the side of a hill that is abou 400 feet high. Here are found grea quantities of sulphate of magnesia or Epsom salt, and of nitre, &c The climate is generally health and pleasant, resembling that of Ohio. The Wabash is frozen ove in the winter, so that it may b< safely crossed on the ice. A college has been established at Blooming- on : it has a philosophical and a hemical apparatus, and a founda- ion has been laid for a respectable brary. One 36th part of the pub- ic lands has been appropriated for he support of schools. The salary if the governor is 1,000 dollars. This state sends 7 representatives o congress.

The country is settling about this tow r n with unexampled apidity. But a few years since, it was a solid and deep forest, where he surprised traveller now sees the xiildings of a metropolis, compact streets and squares of brick build- ngs, respectable public buildings, nanufactories, mechanic shops, printing-offices, and the aspect of universal business and bustle. Such is the present state of Indianapolis, which contains 200 houses and 1,200 nhabitants. It will probably be- come one of the largest towns be- tween Cincinnati and the Missis- sippi.

This is a long chain of Islands, that stretch in the form of an arch or bow, between North and South America, from the Gulf of Florida, to that of Venezuela. They are divided into the greater and less Antilles, and sometimes into the windward and leeward islands. These islands, with the exception of Hayti and Margarita belong to different European states chiefly to Great Britain, Spain, and France. The four Great Antilles namely, Cuba, Hayti, Jamaica, am Porto Rico, are the largest and mosi important. Some of the most consid erable of the Caribbee Isles, are Guadaloupe, Martinique or Marlii ico, and Barbadoes. The Bahama Islands are numerous, but not very important. One of them, now called Cat Island, is celebrated for being the first land in America that was seen by Columbus. There are mountains on all the larger islands of this Archipelago. The highest are on the west of St. Domingo, th< east of Cuba, and the north of Ja maica. Volcanoes have been ob served^ in Guadaloupe, and soim other islands. Their general geo logical feature is abrupt transition from mountains to plains, markec by steep and craggy rocks. Cora and madrepore rocks are common on the different coasts. Cuba an the Bahamas are surrounded b labyrinths of low rocks, several oi which are covered with palm-trees These islands are generally situatec under the tropic of Cancer, ani there is very little difference in th climate; so that the observation touching one of them will general ly apply to the whole. The period ical rains, which give birth to th spring of the country, commence ii May, and the brown of vegetatioi changes to a deep verdure. Th periodical rains fall about noon, am cause a luxuriant vegetation. Th medium standing of the thermom eter is 78 Fahr. These shower ropical summer. The sky is near- cloudless, and th^heat would be Imost insupportable, but for the ea breeze. The moon emits a ght, by which a person can see to ead the smallest print by night. The thermometer now often rises bove IKP, and suffocating calms nnounce the re-approach of the reat periodical rains. Fiery clouds re seen in th3 atmosphere, and the lountaius seem nearer than at Dior times. The rains fall in tor- nts. It is said, that 87 inches ell in one year. Iron rusts rapidly; i.imidity is great, and the inhabit- nts live in a kind of vapor-bath, 'he climate is then relaxing, un- vholesome, and dangerous to a Eu- opeati. Putrid and yellow fever nsue, as some say from miasma, .ud others whimsically affirm from unar influence. It is now generally K;lieved not to be contagious, and ess dangerous on elevated, than narshy districts. The temperate one of the Antilles commences at ,41)0 f..-et above the level of the ?a. The mountains at an eleva- ion of 4.000 feet are subject to nists and rains. Most of the wild animals indigenous to this climate are of a smaller size. The scorpion found only in the large islands. Negroes are sometimes exposed to he murderous bite of the cayman or rocodile. Parrots of various species glitter in the wood, and innumera- )le aquatic birds congregate on the shores. Humming-birds, darting ilong the bright flowers, vie in with the flowers, the their plumage emerald and r ruby. All the tropical plants, shrubs and trees are natives >f this climate. A canoe made 'rom a single trunk of a cotton tree, las been known to contain a hun- Ired persons ; and the leaf of one species of palm will shade five or six men. The palmetto, or moun- :ain cabbage tree, grows 200 feet nigh, and its verdant summit trem- bles from the slightest breeze. A splendid variety of the noblest trees graces the plantations. Lemon, orange and pomegranate trees per- "ume the air with the aroma of heir flowers; while their branches are loaded with fruit. The apple, are followed by the splendor ofjipeach and grape ripen in the moun' 192 I N D-I N D tains. The date, sapota, sapotilla,[ ted. The coffee of the country is a native of Arabia Felix. It sel- dom bears before the third season ; sometimes not till the sixth. It mammee, rose-apple, mango, differ- ent species of spondias and anno- nas, and most of the oriental trop- ical fruits ripen on the sultry plains. Two varieties of the cotton, the green seed and the small seed, arej the most common kinds cultiva- never lasts more than 30 years, and frequently decays before that time. A single plant produces from one to four pounds. TABULAR VIEW OF THE PRINCIPAL WEST-INDIA ISLANDS. < Providence > Britain 5,500. . . . 16,000.. Nassau * ( Abaco &c $ 8 r Hayti .

Cumberland mountains form the south-east boundary of this state. The eastern counties, bor-' dering on Virginia, are mountain-] ous and broken. A tract from 5 to! 20 miles wide, along the banks of] the Ohio, is hilly and broken land, interspersed with many fertile val- leys. Between this strip, Green river, and the eastern counties, lies what has been called the garden of the state. This is the most popu- lous part, and is about 150 m. long, and from 50 to 100 wide. The prin- cipal productions of Kentucky are hemp, tobacco, wheat, and Indian corn. Salt springs are numerous, and supply not only this state, but K E N-K E Y great part of Ohio and Tennes- see, with this mineral. The prin- ipal manufactures are cloth, spirits, ordage, salt, and maple sugar. Hemp, tobacco, and wheat, are the rincipal exports. These are car- ied down the Ohio and Mississippi o New Orleans, and foreign goods eceived from the same place in re- urn. Louisville, on the Ohio, is he centre of this trade. The in- roduction of steam-boat naviga- ion on the Ohio has been of incal- ulable benefit to the commercial ind manufacturi ng i nterestsof Ken- ucky.

From 1810 to 1F20, 76,851 1820 1830, (52,168 Population of New Orleans, in 1802, about 10,000; in 1810, 17,242; in 1820, 27,176 ; in 1830, 46,310. The population is principally con- fined to the settlements on the Mis sissippi. In the upper settlements the inhabitants are principally Ca nadians; in the middle, Germans ; and in the lower, French and Span- iards. A few years since a majori- ty of the inhabitants were Roman Catholics. The clergy of this order, however, are not numerous; and the constant introduction of emi- grants from the north is effecting a rapid revolution in all the institu- tions of the country. In journey- ing from New Orleans to the mouth of Sabine river, we meet with men in every stage of civilization. In New Orleans, and other places on the Mississippi, the sugar and cot- ton planters live in splendid edi- fices, and enjoy all the luxury that wealth can impart. In Attacapa? and Opelousas, the glare of expen- sive luxury vanishes, and is follow- ed by substantial independence. In the western parts of Opelousas are found herdsmen and hunters; the cabins are rudely and hastily con L U L O U structed, and the whole scene re- calls to the imagination the prime- val state of society. The exports from Louisiana are not confined to its own produce. The bulky arti cles of all the western states go down the Mississippi, and are clear- d out at New Orleans. The value f the exports in the year 1804, was $U500.:>2; in 1806, $3,887,323; in 1815, $5,102 .6 10 : in 1817, $13,501 ,036; and in 1829, $12,386,000. A canal was completed in 1831, connecting New Orleans with lake Ponchar- train. It is 4.V miles long, perfect- ly straight, and its ascent and de- scent are only 16 inches. There art 10 banks and branches in this state, 5 at New Orleans, 1 at Baton Rouge, 1 at Donaldson, 1 at Opelousas, 1 at Alexandria, and 1 at St. Francis- ville. There are colleges at Jack- son and New -Orleans. In 1827, the legislature made a grant to each parish rn the state, of $2 62 to every votfer, to be applied to the iucation o'f the indigent; the amount for one parish not to ex- ceed $1,350, nor to fall short of $POO. In consequence of this act, nearly f 40.000 irre annually appropriated to the education of the poor. The number of periodical papers in 1P31 was 12. The Mississippi was dis- covered by Marquette and .Toilette, two French missionaries, in 1673. In 1682. the country was explored by La Sails, and named Louisiana 11 honor of Louis XIV. A French settlement was begun at Iberville n 1699, and in 1717 New Orleans was founded. In 1803, the exten- sive country of Louisiana, com- prisi ng all the territory now belong- ing to the United States, lying west of the Mississippi, was purchased of France for the sum of 15,000,000 dollars; and. in 1H12, the southern portion of this country was admit- ted into the Union as an indepen- dent state. In the latter part of the last war between Great Britain and the United States, a very formida- ble armament invaded the territo- ry of Louisiana, with a view to the capture of New Orleans. Several thousand volunteers from the ad- joining country hastened to the re- lief of the city, and their energies were ably directed by Gen- Jark&on, LOU- Four engagements took place, in all of which the British were deci- sively repulsed. In the last of these, which occurred on the 8th of Janu ary, 1815, the loss of the enemy was so great, that he withdrew the re mainder of his forces, and desisted from the hopeless attempt.

Ken., on the Ohio, at the head of the Rapids 140 m., by the river, below Cincin nati, 52 W. from Frankfort, 137 S of E. from Vincennes, and 530 from W. The position of this city is 38 18' N., and 5 42' W. from W. It contained in 1600, (iOO inhabitants in 1810, 1.350; in 1820, 4,012; in 1830, 10,33tj, having more than doubled its population within the last ten years. Louisville, in a commercial point of view, is far the most im portant town in the state. The main street is nearly a mile in length, and is as noble, as compact and has as much tha air of a mari time town, as any street in the western country. It is situated on an extensive sloping plain, below the mouth of Beargrass, about a quarter of a mile above the princi pal declivity of the falls. The three principal streets run parallel with the riverfand command fine views of the villages and the beautiful country on the opposite shore. The public buildings are a court-house, jail, poor-bouse, and work-bouse, LOW 525 jpwder magazine, marine hospital, city school-house, 8 churches for the prevalent denominations of the country. The manufacturing estab- ishments are numerous and valua- ble. The greatest fall in the Ohio 3 just below this city. In high stages of water, the rocks and shal- ows are all covered, and boats pass without perceiving them. But this stage of water does not occur, on an average, more than two months in the year, rendering it necessary at all other times, that boats from he lower country should stop here. The falls equally arrested boats "rom above. Consequently freights n tended for the country above were equired, at a great expense of time, delay, and factorage, to be unload- ed, transported by land round the 'alls, and reloaded in boats above. Large steam-boats from New Or- leans, though belonging to the up- per country, were obliged to lie by through the summer at Portland. To remedy these inconveniences, he Louisville and Portland canal round the falls has been construct- ed. It overcomes the ascent of 22 feet by 5 locks, and is 40 feet deep. LOUISVILLE, v. Blount co.

A small cotton manufactory was first es- tablished here in 1813, and others vvero added a short time afterwards; at present the place continues to increase, and bills fair to equal any of the interior towns in the United States. The manufactures of Low ell arc chiefly cotton, of which more than 14,000,000 yards are made annually. Here are also made carpeting, cassimeres, satinets, &c.

The country out of which this republic has been formed, is peculiar as respects the features of its geo- graphy. It extends from lat. 15 50' to 423 N.; th; intermediate space embracing every variety of soil, from the most recent alluvion lo plains of near 8,000 fet above the contiguous oceans. These elevated plains are again broken and decorated by colossal summits, rising from 12 to upwards of 17,000 feet. From this difference of eleva- tion, and from embracing such an extensive range within and without the tropics, Mexico may be cons dercd as possessing every climate of the earth, and capable of produ ring every vegetable necessary to the wants or the luxuries of human life. Its metallic wealth is no less abundant than its vegetable. From its bowels are extracted many of the most usef.il. and all the precious metals. Mexico has but few cood harbors: some of the best and most frequented are Vera Cruz and Tarn- pid> on the gulf of Mexico, anr< Acapilco and San Bias on the Pacific ocean. Vera Cruz is the port through which most of the com merce b,?tw*en Mexico and Europe has been carried on. Gold and silver are found here in great quan- tities The annual produce, in ordinary years, used seldom to fall below 323,000,000 of silver. The sold is found in little straw-like fragments and veins. The richest nine, in its yield of native silver, is Bartopilas in New Biscay. In most of them, the metal is extracted from red, black, muriated and sul- phuretted ores of silver. The cli- mate is delightful, and the vicinity abounds with forest, and every facility to work the mines to ad- vantage. A catalogue of the names of 50 mines might easily be given, extending from Santa "Fe, at the sources of the Rio del Norte, to the Pacific. Its silver mines are the richest in the world, and have for a long time produced annually ten times" as much silver as all the mines in Europe. Some of these mines are regarded as curiosities; and one of them is excavated eight miles in length, and 1,640 feet in depth. In 1521, the Spaniards under Cortez subdued Mexico, which was, at that time, under the government of the emperor Montezuma ; and in 1821, the Mexicans declared them- selves independent of Spain. MEXICO, City jf, capital of the republic of the same name, is situa- t*d in lat. 19O 28' N., Ion. from W, 220 5 ' W ., on or near the W. shore if the Lake Tezcuco, and in the central part of the valley of Tenoch- Han. and also, nearly at mid-dis- tance between Vern Cruz and Aea- pulco. The site of Mexico is eleva- ted 7,470 feet above the ocean. The present streets have for the most part the same direction with the old ones, running from N. to 8. 248 and from E. to M E X-M I A W. But what ives the new city a peculiar and istinctive character, is, that it is situated entirely on the .continent, between the extremities of the two Lakes of Tezcuco, and Xochimilco, and that it only receives by naviga- ble canals the fresh water of the Xochimilco. A canal, dug at a pro- digious expense under the moun- tains, contributes to drain it. The houses are built on piles, as the ground is by no means firm. The streets, though wide, are badly paved. The houses in this strange and rich vale on the summits of mountains, are as magnificent and unique, as the position. They are! N. by Shelby, E. by Champaign spacious, and built of porphyry and amygdaloid. Many of the palaces and private mansions have an im- posing show, andglitter withmetal- lic riches. The cathedral is perhaps the richest in the world. Altars, candle-sticks ami images of the sainjts are of colossal size, and solid silver, and ornamented with pre- cious stones. Palaces, mansions of interior of this city. Near the suburbs, to the north, is the alnnie- da or chief promenade. Sound this walk flows a rivulet forming a fine square, in the centre of which is a fountain, with a basin. Eight alleys of trees terminate here, in the form of an altar. The detestable Inquisi- tion, finally abolished by the ex-em- pnrorlturbide, was near this square. This superb city is inhabited by 160,000 people, and is the centre of more scientific establishments than any other Spanish town in America.

The climate of this region, in conse quence of its being level and pen insular, and surrounded on all sides but the south with such immense bodies of water, is more temperate and mild than could be expected from its latitude. The southern parts have mild winters, and the spring opens as early as in any part of the United States in the same latitude: the position of the north- ern parts must subject it to a Cana- dian temperature. The winter com- mences here early in November, and does not terminate until the end of March. Detroit, the capital of Michigan, was settled by the French about the year 1670. In 1805, the country was erected by the congress of the United States into a separate territorial government ; in 1812, it was taken by the British under Gen. Brock ; and, in 1813, it was recovered by the army of the United States under Gen. Harrison. The governor's salary is $2,000. MICHILLIMACKINACK, co.

MISSISSIPPI, a river of the U. S This magnificent stream has al ready been the subject of so man; minute descriptions, that, to giv the reader a correct account of i without considerable repetition would be scarcely possible. It risei in high table-land, in the grea Northwestern Territory VV. of Lak< Superior. A medium of the au thorities respecting the point of iti origin, would give it to be in lat 47=> 47' N.. though in speaking of the source of large rivers which are formed of a great number of tribu taries, it is not often possible tc say, precisely, which particula; branch carries the most water, or rely ascend the Mississippi high- r than Natchez, which is 322 m. y the river, above New Orleans, nt it is navigated by steam-boats i the Falls of St. Anthony, a (Us- ance of more than '2,000 m. frbm s mouth. Down these falls, the ver, which here is about half a mile wide, precipitates its waters n a perpendicular descent of six- een or seventeen feet. For a long istance below these falls, it is a lear. placid, and beautiful stream, vith wide and fertile bottoms. Its medial current is not more than 2 n. an hour from the falls to the nonth of the Missouri, except at he rapids, a few miles below the nouth of the river DCS Moines, vhich are about 9 m. in length, ml are a considerable impediment the navigation during a part of he summer. Where it receives he Missouri, it is a mile and a half wide. The Missouri itself nters with a mouth not more than lalf a mile wide. The united 1 ream below, has thence, to the nouth of the Ohio, a medial width )f little more than three quarters )f a mile. This mighty tributary leema rather to diminish than to ncrease its width ; but it percepti- ly alters its depth, its mass of wa- ters, and what is to be regretted, wholly changes its character. It is no longer the gentle, placid stream, with smooth shores and clean sand- to be called the paren source to its junction with the Mis ')uri, and 1,310 from that junction to its mouth at the Gulf of Mexico making its whole length 2.910 m Its general course is south. Iti most important branches, begin ning at its mouth, are the Re( river, the Arkansas, and the Mis sou ri, on the west, the latter of which is. by far, the greatest tribu tary which it receives. Its tw the Ohio and the Illinois Ship* bars ; but has a furious and boiling current, a turbid and dangerous nass of sweeping waters, jagged and dilapidated shores, and, wherever ts waters have receded, deposits of mud. Below the Missouri its raptd- ty should be rated considerably higher than has been commonly stream. It is 1,600 m. from its done. Its medial rate of advance s perhaps four miles an hour. The >osom of the river is covered with boils, or swells, that rise with a whirling motion, and a convex surface, two or three rods in diame- :er, and no inconsiderable noise, whirling a boat perceptibly from its rack. In its course, accidental cir- nimstances shift the impetus of its current, and propel it upon the toint of an island, bend, or sand principal branches on the east, are bar. In these instances, it tear* ip the iMandi, remove* the sand- W2 258 M I S M I S bars, and sweeps away the tende: alluvial soil of the bends, with al their trees, and deposits the spoil: in another place. At the seasoi of high waters, nothing is more fa miliar to the ear of the people 01 the river, than the deep crash of a land-slip, in which larger or small masses of the soil on the banks with all the trees, are plunged int< the stream. The circumstance; that change the aspect and curren of the river, are denominated, ir the vocabulary of the watermen chutes, races, chains, sawyers planters, points of islands, wreck heaps, and cypress-bends. It occur: more than once, that in moving round a curve of twenty-five 01 thirty miles, you will return s< near the point whence you started that you can return bac to thai point, by land, in less than a mile There are, at present, bends of this sort on the Missouri and the Mis sissippi, particularly at Tunica bend, where you move round a curve of thirty miles, and come he sees this mighty river absorbing back to the, point, where you see through the trees, and at thf dis tance of three quarters of a mile the point whence you departed The divinity most frequently in voked by boatmen, seems to have imparted his name oftener than any other to the dangerous places along the river. The " devil's' race-paths, tea-table, oven, &c. are places of difficult or hazardous navi gation, that frequently occur. Thej are serious impediments to the navigation of this noble stream Such is its character from Missour to the Balize ; a wild, furious whirling river never navigated safely, except with great caution On the immense wreck-heaps where masses of logs, like consid- erable hills, are piled together, the numerous wrecks of boats, lying on their sides and summits, suffi- ciently attest the character of the river, and remain standing memen- toes to caution. Boats propelled by steam-power, which can be changed in a moment, to reverse the impulse and direction of the boat, are exactly calculated to ob viate the dangers of this river. No the first time, receives clear and adequate ideas of its grandeur, and the amount of water which it car- ries. If it be in the spring, when the river below the mouth of the Ohio is generally over its banks, although the sheet of water that is making its way to the Gulf is, per haps, thirty miles wide, yet finding its way through deep forests and swamps that conceal all from the eye, no expanse of water is seen, but the width that is curved out be- tween the outline of woods on either bank; and it seldom exceeds, and oftener falls short of, a mile. But when he sees, in descending "rom the falls of St. Anthony, that it swallows up one river after another, with mouths as wide as itself, without affecting its width at all ; when he sees it re- ceiving in succession the mighty Missouri, the broad Ohio, St. Fran- cis, White, Arkansas, and Red riv- ers, all of them of great depth, ength, and volume of water ; when them all, and retaining a volume apparently unchanged he begins estimate rightly the increased depths of current, that must roll on n its deep channel to the sea From the sources of the river to he mouth of the Missouri, the an mal flood ordinarily commences in Vlarch, and does not subside until he last of May; and its medial height is fifteen feet. At the low- est stages, four feet of water may found from the Rapids of Des Moines to the mouth of the Mis- souri. Between that point and the nouth of the Ohio, there are six 'eet in the channel of the shallow- est places at low water, and the an- nual inundation may be estimated t twenty-five feet. Between the louth of the Ohio and the St. Francis, there are various shoal ilaces, where pilots are often per- plexed to find a sufficient depth of vater, when the river is low. Be- ow that point there is no difficulty or vessels of any draught, except o find the right'channel. Below he mouth of the Ohio, the medial ood is fifty feet ; the highest, sixty. Above Natchez, the flood begins to person who descends this stream for! decline. At Baton Rouge, it seldom M I S-M I S 399 exceeds thirty feet ; and at New Orleans, twelve.

They consist of a stratum of black alluvial soil of unknown depth. As you recede from the banks of the rivers, the land rises, passing some- times gradually, and sometimes ab- ruptly into elevated barrens, flinty ridges, and rocky cliffs. A portion of the state is, therefore, unfit for cultivation, but this part of the state is rich in mineral treasures. The land is either very fertile or very poor ; it is either bottom land, or :liff; either prairie or barren ; there is very little of an intermediate quality. The climate is remarkably eren and temperate, and very M I S M I S favorable to health. The most re- markable feature in Missouri is its! lead mines, which are probably the They most extensive on the globe.

Jefferson city is the MISSOURI TERRITORY, embraces the vast, extent of country lying be- tween the Mississippi and the Rocky Mountains, comprising the greater part of the western slope of the Mis- sissippi valley, and is almost wholly uninhabited, except by Indians. A been granted by Congress for the belt of country, extending from 200 to 400 miles to the west of the Mis- sippi, is covered, in great part, with forests. To the west of this s found a vast region of plains reaching to the Rocky Mountains ; are 12 periodical papers in the state, in some parts it is fertile and cover- There is a branch of the Unitediied with grass, and in others sandy States Bank at St. Louis, which is and sterile. It has been compared the only hank in the state. The||to the stpppes of Central Asia, and IS MOB 261 portions of it to the Africa desert of Sahara. The margins o the lower courses of the rivers tha enter the Mississippi from tli region are wooded; but ia ascem ing towards the mountains, th trees gradually diminish, and a length entirely disappear. To th west of these plains the Rock Mountains rise up in an abrup manner, presenting a steep fron with many frowning rocky prec pices, and having many summit covered with perpetual snow. It a singular fact that, between th sources of the La Platte and th Buenaventura, there is an openin through this range which admit the passage of loaded wagons. Th largest rivers of this country are th Missouri and its tributaries, th Kansas, La Platte, and Yellow stone. The Great Falls of the Mis spuri, which are 2,570 miles by th river from the Mississippi, consist of a succession of cataracts an rapids, amounting in the whole t 350 feet. The largest cataraci which is 87 feet perpendicular, pre sents a scene of much beauty an grandeur. The place where the Missouri seems to have torn fo itself a passage through the moun tain ridge, called the Gates of th Rocky Mountains, is described a a very sublime spectacle. The rive flows through a chasm more than five miles long where the rocks rise perpendicularly from the water' edge to the height of nearly 1,2(X feet. The stream is here compress ed to the width of 150 yards ; and for the space of three miles, there i but one spot on which a man can *tand, between the edge of the water and the perpendicular ascen of the mountain rock. The Unite< States have established military posts at Council Bluffs and on St Peter's river. MISSOURI, the longest river in N America, is formed of three princi pal branches, the Jefferson, Madi- son, andGallatin, which rise among the Rocky Mountains, between 42 and 48 N. lat., and unite in lat 450 10' N., and Ion. lioo W. From this confluence, its course is north- erly about 250 miles to the Great Falls ; thence easterly to the Man- dan villages; thence it runs, first S., and then SE. to its junction with Hie Mississ VV., and lat. 38O ippi, i 51' N. in Ion. 900 Its whole length, from its source to the Mis- sissippi, is 3,217 m. Although it 'oses its name at its confluence with the latter, it is much the longer stream of the two, but the Missis- sippi having been first discovered and explored, it has retained its name to the Gulf of Mexico. This rror being now past remedy, the Missouri must be considered as a tributary of the Mississippi. If we add to the Missouri the length of the Mississippi below their conflu- ence, we have a river 4,490 m. iu ength, which exceeds by nearly 1,000 m. any other river on the globe. During this whole distance here is no cataract or considerable mpediment to the navigation, ex- cept at the Great Falls, which are 2,575 m. from the Mississippi. At these falls, the river descends, in the distance of 18 m., 3ti2 ft. The first great pitch in ascending the river is 98 feet ; the second, 19 ; the third, 47, and the fourth, 26. The width of the river is here about 350 yards, and, from every descrip- :ion, the cataracts are, next to those of Niagara, the grandest in he world. About 100 m. above the falls, is the place called the Gates of the Rocky Mountains. The rocks here rise perpendicularly from the ater's edge, to the height of near- y 1,200 feet, through a distance of nore than 5 and the river pressed to the width of 150 Is. Nothing can be imagined nore gloomy than the passage hrough this dark chasm. MISTASSIN, Lake, a lake of New Britain, lying E. of the S. part of "ames' Bay, and surrounded by nountains called the Great Mistas- ins. It is above 250 m. in circuit, f very irregular shape, being much ntersected by long and narrow rejections of land, and contains veral islands. It is formed of the Vfistassin and other rivers from the lountains, and its outlet is the ver Rupert. MOBILE, city and port of entry, nd cap. of Mobile co. Al., is situ- ted on the western channel of 262 IM O B M O B Mobile river, near its entrance into Mobile bay. It is 1,033 m. from W., 226 S. from Tuscaloosa, 33 N. from Mobile point, 15 WNW.from Blake- ly, 50 WNVV. from Pensacola, 40 by water below Fort Stoddart. Lat. 300 40' N. Pop. 3,194. Mobile is the only town of any great import- ance in the lower part of the state. It is situated considerably above the overflow of the river, in a dry and pleasant situation. Access to it is rendered somewhat dimcult to vessels by a swampy island oppo site the town. But when once they have entered, they are perfectly se- cure from winds, storms, arid ene- mies; and can come directly to the 'town. It has swampy lands and stagnant waters back of it, and near it a sterile country of pine woods. From these causes, though it had been one of the earliest set- tled towns in the country, it never became, under the Spanish and French regime, more than a mil tary post. Under the government of the United States, it has received new impulse of prosperity. But i a few years since, little cotton was raised in the whole country con- nected with Mobile; and none was exported directly from this place It is now a great shipping port for cotton ; and a large number of square-rigged vessels take their freight from this city. There is no other port, perhaps, in the United States, of the same size, that ha so large an amount of export. Af- ter New Orleans and Charleston, it is the largest cotton port in the country. It is enlivened, too, by tli3 coming and departing of many steam-boats, that ply on tha noble river above the city. In addition to the great, number of packet- schooners that sail between this place and New Orleans, some by the lake, and some by the Missis- sippi, there is now a steam boat communication between the two cities, by the way of Lake Ponchar- train. Of course, except during the sickly months, it is a place of great activity and business. The public buildings are a court-house and a jail, four churches, one for Roman Catholics, one for Episcopalians, one for Presbyterians, and one for Methodists. A Roman Catholic college is erecting at Spring Hill, six miles from the city. It export- ed, in 1831, 110,000 bags of cotton. It has the disadvantage of a shal- low harbor, which is moreover growing shallower by the sand de- posited by the rivers. MOBILE, r. Al., is formed by the union of the Alabama and Tom- bigbee, 40 in. above Mobile. After a course of 3 in. it divides and en- ters Mobile bay in several chan- nels. The main western channel s called the Mobile; the main east ;rn channel is the deepest and widest, and is called the Tensaw. The eastern channel passes by Blakely. MOBILE, co.

Pop. in 1820, 2,072; in 1830,3,071. MOBILE BAY, a bay at the mouth of Mobile river, 30 m. long, and, on an average, 12 broad. It commu- nicates with the Gulf of Mexico by two straits, one on each side of Dauphin island. The strait on the W. side will not admit the passage of vessels drawing more than five feet of water; that on the E. side, between the island and Mobile point, has 18 feet of water, and the. channel passes within a few yards i if tho point. There is a bar how- ever across the bay, near its upper end, over which theie is only 11 f,?et water. MOBILE POINT, is a long, -low, sandy, and narrow peninsula, which bounds Mobile bay on thn S., ex- tending from the bay of Bon Se- rours, the south-ear.tern extremity of the former, towards Dauphin island, to which it approaches with- in 3 in. This poMit has been ren- dered remarkable, by the erection of a military post on its extreme * W. extension, called Fort Bowyer. This fort was attacked Sept. I5th, 1614, by a British squadron, con- sisting of two vessels of 28 guns iach, and one of 18 guns, with a land force of 200 Indians, and 110 marines. The British were repulsed, with the loss of the Hermes, ana MOB bout 100 men killed and wounded. After their defeat at, and retreat from New Orleans, the British at- tacked and took Fort Bowyer on the 15th of Feb. Idlo.

A boat navigation is opened from Schenectady through the Mohawk Wood creek, Oneida lake, and Os wego river, to the Lake Ontario Tliis river, about 2 miles W. of the Hudson, has remarkable falls, call ed Cakoes, or Cohoes. The river jusi above the falls, is between 300 am 400 feet wide, and descends at high water in one sheet near 70 feet About J in. below, a bridge is erect ed across the river, from which there is a most sublime and beau tiful view of the cataract.

It is b;iilt upon an island of the same name jn th' St. Lawrence, 32 m. long, and at its centre 2 m. wide, at a point in the river just below the junction of the Ottawa. The river is here two miles wide, and capable of being ascended by vessels of any burden, although .500 miles from the ea. It is 180 m. SW. of Quebec, MOO 267 and 300 N. of New-York. The town has a beautiful position, and shows to great advantage. The mountain, from which it has its name, rises MI the left of the city, and seems placed there, like a rampart, to de- rend it from the blasts of winter. A thick forest covers the greater part of it ; though a few neatly built houses show their roofs from the midst of the mountain groves. The new cathedral is, probably, the largest church in America. Its front s 255 feet, and its width 134. There are five public entrances, and the interior will conveniently contain 10.000 persons. There are seven al- tars, and tho eastern window over th.; hih altar is 04 by 32 feet. The circuit of this vast edifice is 1,125 feet. It is built of hewn stone from the mountain. The college is the ext most conspicuous building, ex- tending in front with the wings 220 feet. It contains on an average 300 students. This is a Catholic insti- tution. There are 18 or 20 public buildings. The French style of building, the number of lofty spires and towers, and the glittering tin covering of the roofs, give the city a majestic and imposing appear- ance at a distance. The population, by a census in 1825, was 24,000, and s now supposed to amount to 35,000. The chief article of its com- merce is furs. It is the emporium of the North-West Company ; and nf the trade between Canada and the United States. The only inter- ruption to the navigation of the St. Lawrence up to this city, is the Rapi Is, about two miles below, which often occasion delay to in- bound vessels, as they can ba stem- mod only by a strong wind. .WONTROSE, t. and cap.

Frederickton is the cap- St. John is the largest town. Population, 80,000. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, in most particu- 'ars, are very similar. The face of the country is neither mountain- ous, nor quite level. There are sev- eral rivers, among which those of Annapolis and St. John's are the most considerable. The soil is, in general, thin and barren, particu- ' irly on the coasts. In some parts there are very extensive tracts of marsh, which are rich and produc- tive. Both the soil and the climate are unfavorable to the cultivation of grain, and the inhabitants do not raise provision sufficient for their own consumption. The fish- eries, however, compensate in some measure for the sterility of the soil. The coast abounds with cod, sal- mon, mackerel, haddock, and her- ring. Their chief exports are fish and lumber. Coal is found in Nova Scotia ; and plaster-of-Paris, par- ticularly at Windsor, from whence arge quantities arc imported into the United States. NEWBHRG, v. Cuyahoga co. Ohio, 6 m.

These are the Connecticut, Morrimack, Andros- coggin, Saco, and Piscataqua. The other most considerable rivers are the Tipper and Lower Ammonoosuc, Sugar river, Ashuelot, Contoocook, Margallaway, and Nashua. The principal lakes are Winnipiseogee, Umbagog, Ossipee, Sunipee, Squam, and Newfoundland lakes.

The sin re is g -ncrally a sandy beach, and bordering upon it are salt marshes, intersected by creeks. The principal articles of produce are beef, pork, mutton, but- ter, cheese, wheat, rye, Indian corn, oats, barley, and flax. In the township of Chester are two re- markable caves. One. called the Devil's Den, is in Mine Hill, in the part. The hill is half a mile in diameter, and about 400 tV.-t high, almost perpendicular on the south side-. The entrance of til- rave, which i* on the south Bide, is 10 yards above the base, and after a (n^aL'r. varying in its di- mensions. 25 feet in length, opens into the principal apartment, which is 15 or 20 feet square, three or four feet high, floored and coiled by a regular rock. From the ceiling are dependent numerous stalactites or Hxc.rpscenccs, in the form of pears, whose polished surfaces refluct a torch-light with innumerable hues and uncommon brilliancy. The other cave is on the west side of Rattlesnake Hill, seven miles south- west of the meeting house. The principal entrance is eleven feet high and four wide. It extends 20 foot into the side of the hill, and af- ter forming a semicircle of 53 feet in length, passes out on the same side. The manufactures of New Hampshire have increased very rapidly within a few years. There are now more than 40 cotton and woollen manufactories, many of them on an extensive scale. A srlass manufactory has been estab- lished at Keene, and there are two iron manufactories at Franconia The principal exports from New Hampshire are lumber, pot and pearl ashes, fish, beef, live cattle, pork, and flaxseed. New Hamp hire has a college at Hanover, styled Dartmouth College, with which a medical school is connect- ed ; a small academical theological institutional Now Hampton; and 384 about HO incorporated academies, of which the oldest and best en- dowed is Phillips Academy at Exe- ter. Common schools are estab- lished throughout the state, and for their support a sum, amounting, each year since 1818, to $90,000, is annually raised by a separate tax The. state has a Literary Fund, amounting to $ii4,000, formed by a tax of one half per cent, on the capital of the banks. The pro- ceeds of this fund, and also an an- nual income of ,$;,000 derived from a tax on banks, are appropriated to aid the support of schools. The number of periodical papers in 1831 was 16. There are in this state 21 banks. The Bank of the Uniter States has an office of discount anr deposit at Portsmouth, The firsi English settlement in New Hamp shire, was made near the mouth of the Piscataqua, in 1623.

The 1810 to 1820 32,013 1820 to 1830 42.204J Delaware river separates this 1 state from Pennsylvania, and the' Hudson forms the northern part of the eastern boundary. The other most considerable rivers are thej Raritan, Passaic, Great Egg Har- bor River, Hackensack, and Mus- conetcunk. Trenton is the seat of government. The other most con- siderable towns are Newark, New Brunswick, Elizabethtown, Bur-: lington, and Amboy. The Morris canal is intended to connect the 1 ; Delaware and Hudson rivers, and; to extend from Easton to Jersey! City. The whole line from Eastonj on the Delaware, to Newark on the Passaic, is finished. The remain- ing part, from Newark to Jersey City, is about 11 miles long, and not yet completed. Hopatconglake, at! tlM ummit level being about 900. granted in 1829, and which is to ex feet above tide-water, supplies the Delaware and Raritan canal, which s to extend from New Brunswick on the Raritan to Bordentown on the Delaware, a distance of 34 miles, is in progress, and will proba- bly be finished in 1833. This will be a source of groat internal im- provement. It is 7 feet deep, and 73 feet w'ide at the water-line ; and with it is connected a navigable feeder extending from the main ca- nal at Trenton, up the Delaware, a distance of about in miles. Char- ters for several rail-roads have been granted by the legislature within two years, the state- having reserved the right to levy a transit duty upon the goods, &c. transported upon them, which is expected to yield the state a large revenue, when the works shall be completed. The most important of these enterprises is the Camden and Amboy Rail- road, the charter of which w N i; \v- teiid from Amboy toCamdi'ii, a dis- tancc f 01 miles. The part of this rail-road \vhicli extends from Am- boy to Bordeiitown, a distance uf 34 miles in length, and having a deviation of only , of a mile in the whole distance from a right line, is completed. The other part of the rail-road, from Bor.li-ntown to Camden, a distance of 27 miles, is rapidly progressing. The Patterson and Hudson river rail road is to ex- tend from Patterson to Jersey City. a distance of 14 miles. The stock has been taken up, and the work commenced. A charter was grant- ed in 1R32 for a rail-road from the Hudson river through Newark. Kli/.abethtown, near Railway, and VVooi I bridge, to New Brunswick, and by means of the connecting road which the joint companies are compelled to make, it will be united lo the Cnmden and Amboy rail- road. The manufactures of the state are numerous and flourishing consisting of iron, cotton, woollens, paper, leather, carriages, shoes, and glass. In the county of Morris there are 7 rich iron mines, 2 fur- naces. 2 rolling and slitting mills and 30 forges. The annual product of these works is about 540 tons of bar iron, hOO tons of pig, beside? large quantities of hollow ware sheet iron, and nail rods. There are also iron works in the counties of Burlington, Gloucester, Sussex &c. The number of cotton manu- factories is 51. with an aggregate capital of ,?2.ft-27.r>44, which make annually 5,133.770 yards of cloth There are 13 glass manufactories in different parts of the state where glass is made of various kinds, from sand found in the state. There are in New Jersey 18 banks, There are colleges and theological seminaries at Princeton and New Brunswick, and academies at vari- ous places. This state has a schoo! fund which amounted, in October IP29, to $245.404 47, which ia all in productive stocks, yielding an in terest, on an average, of about 5 per cent.

NEW ORLEANS, city, port of en try, and capital of Louisiana, stands on the left bank of the Mississippi river, 105 in. abovo its mouth. The city proper contains six complete squares, each having a front of 319 feet in length. Each square is di- vided into 12 lots. Many of the streets do not exceed 40 feet in width. The public buildings are a town-house, hospital, the Cathedral church of St. Louis, the barracks, ustom-house, market-house, five janks, and two theatres, one for French, and the other for American X K W tf E VV actors. There is also a convent of | Ursuline nuns. The Spanish and French modes of building prevail, and most of the houses are finished outside with stucco, which gives the city rather a fantastic appear-) ance to a stranger. The ground on which it stands, is lower than the| surface of the river, which is con-j fined within its channel by an ar- tificial bank called the levee, which was raised at great expense, and' extends 50 miles. The land is soi make this amount, are sugar and cotton, its advantages of commu- nication with the country, imme- diately adjacent to it, have been overlooked, in comparison with those of its relation to the upper country. But even in these re- spects it is unrivalled. By the ba- sin of the canal, and the Bayou St. John, it communicates with Lake Poncnartrain, and the connected lakes; with the opposite Florida shore, with Mobile, Pensacola, and spongy that the houses are neces- the whole Gulf shore, east and sarily without cellars. It is very advantageously situated for com- merce, the Mississippi and its nu [west. Not a few vessels clear from the basin for the Atlantic and Mex- ican ports. The basin is scarcely merous branches wafting to it thej distant a quarter of a mile from productions of a fertile country of the ship landing on the Mississippi, more than 2,000 miles in extent. It! A person on the basin wharf can is already one of the most import-jisee the masts of the vessels, lying ant commercial ports in America, | Jon the shore of the levee, and yet and is probably destined to become. I ja vessel sailing from the basin, at no distant period, the rival of the first in Europe. The harbor, presents an area of many acres. would have to sail through the lakes along the Gulf shore, and up the Mississippi, some hundreds of covered with all tho grotesque va-ljmiles, to arrive at so little distance riety of flat-boats, keel-boats, andj|from her former position. Even water craft of every description, -the commerce and shipping of the that have floated from all points of the valley above. Sloops, schooners, brigs, and ships occupy the wharves, arranged below each other, in the| order of their sixe, showing a for-i est of masts. The foreign aspect! of the stuccoed houses in the city proper, the massive buildings of thej Fauxbourg St. Mary, the bustle and movement on every side, all seen at one view, present a splendid spectacle. There have been count- ed in the harbor, 1,500 flat-boats at a time. Steam-boats are coming and departing every hour; and 50: are frequently seen lying in the harbor at a time. There are often 5 or 6,000 boatmen from the upper country here ; and it is not uncom- mon to see 40 vessels advertised for Liverpool and Havre. No place in the United States has so much ac- tivity and bustle of commerce, crowded into so small a space, in the months of February and March., The amount of domestic exports from this city exceeds 12 millions of dollars a year, being greater than that of any other city of the Union, except New York, and nearly equal basin would- be sufficient for the upport of a considerable city. JThere is an incorporation, to con- nect the lake with the Mississippi by a canal, directly from the one to the other. A most necessary and important, canal is also contem- plated, for connecting Attakapas with the city. A rail-road 4| m. in length, from the city to Lake Pon- chartrain, has been recently open- ed. It is perfectly straight, and va- ries only 16 inches from a dead level from end to end. No city in the United States contains such a variety of inhabitants from every state in the Union, and from every nation in Europe; and there are not a few from the Spanish coun- try, and the islands. There is an astonishing contrast of manners, language, and complexion. One- half the population is black or colored. The French population probably as yet predominates over the American. Among the Ameri- cans, the inhabitants of the city of New York seem to have the greater number, and New Orleans has more intercourse with New York than at. The greatest items that] any other American city. The ir- 290 NEW tercourse with Havana and Vera Cruz is great, and constantly in creasing. The college is a respect able building, and has ample en dowments, but has, as yet, done little for the literature of the coun- try. There are a number of chari- table institutions in this city, of respectable character ; and when the epidemic yellow fever visits it, the manner in which the inhabit- ants bestow charity, nursing, shel- ter, and medical aid to the sick, is worthy of all praise. A library, for the use of the poorer reading young men of the city, has been in- stituted; and in the extent of her efficient and useful charities, New Orleans is not far behind her At- lantic sisters. There are fewer churches in the city, than in any other town of the same size in the United States. There are but three Catholic places of worship, one Presbyterian, one Rpiscopalian, a Mariners' church, a Baptist and a Methodist place of worship. Very little observance of the Sabbath. as northern people estimate it, is seen in this city. It is well known, that the forms of the Catholic wor- ship do not forbid amusements on the Sabbath.

Length from E. to W. 240 m., mean width IriO. Between lat. 15 40' and 18 N. This state is one of the most de- lightful countries on this part of the silobe. The beauty and salubrity of the climate, the fertility of the soil, and the richness and variety of its productions, all combine to minis- ter to the prosperity of its inhabit- ants ; and this province has, ac- cordingly, from the remotest peri- ods, been the centre of an advanced civi'ization. OAXACA, city of Mexico, and cap- tal of the state of the same name, stands on one of the confluents of he <:hicomr retired farms. The passages between them, and the sand-bars at their head, are among the difficulties of the naviga- tion of this river. The Ohio at Pittsburg is COO yards wide. At Cincinnati, which may be consider- ed its mean width, it is not much nore. Below the Cumberland, its average width is 1,000 yards. Its valley is deep, and heavily timbered, and has nowhere the slightest indi- cation of prairie. It varies from 2 to 10 m. in width. It is bounded in ts whole course by bluffs, some- times towering sublimely from the shores of the river, and sometimes receding 2 or 3 miles. Beyond the immediate verge of the bottom is a singular line of hills, more or Jess precipitous, stretching from 5 to 10 m. from the banks. They are known the Ohio by the familiar appella- tion of the ' Ohio hills.' Different estimates have been made of the rapidity of its current. This rapid- ty being continually varying, it would be difficult to assign any very exact estimate. It is found, according to the different stages of the water, to vary between 1 and 3 miles. In the lowest stages of the vater in the autumn, a floating substance would probably not ad- vance a mile an hour. It is subject to extreme elevations and depres- sions. The average range between nigh and low water, is fifty feet. Its lowest stage is in September; and its highest in March. But it is subject to sudden and very conside- rable rises through the year. It has been known to rise 12 feet in a night. When these sudden eleva- tions take place, at the breaking up of the ice, a scene of desolation ometimes occurs; and boats and every thing in its course are carried away by the accumulated power of O H I O H 1 the ice and the water. Its average descent in a mile, is not far from six inches. At Cincinnati, the sur face of the rher at low water, i supposed to. be i:>0 feet below the level of Lake Erie, and 4::t) above that of the tide-wat T of the Allan tic. Between Pittsbin: and th mouth, it makes three a,,d a half degrees ofsouthiiiir in latitude. Th average time cf the s.isp, nsjon of its navigation In ice, isiiv.' u- rks. One-half of the remainder of th' year, on an average, it is navisrahle by large iteam-boata in its who!,- course. The other half, it can be navigated easily only bv steam boats of a small dra'ft of water Since the Louisville and Portland canal has been completed, steam- boats of small draft can descend at all times from Pittsb.trg to the Mis sissippi. Flat and keel-boats de- scend the river at all seasons ; but in periods of low water, with fre- quent groundings on the sand-bars and the necessity of often unloading to get the boat off. It would " difficult to decide when the Ohio has the most beautifil appearance in the spring, when it rolls alonj between fall banks, or in the au tumn, when between the ripples i is calm and still, with broad and clean sand-bars ; or in the ripples where its transparent waters elide rapidly over the pebbly and sholly bottom, showing every thing as through the transparency of air The Ohio, and all its tributaries cannot have less than 5.000 miles of boatable water; and taking al circumstanced into consideration, few rivers in the world can vie with it either in utility or beauty The following table of distances is taken from Dr. Drake ; the distance? are founded on the surveys made by the U.

Wheat is the staple of the state. Other sorts of grain, various kindsof fruit, grass, hemp, and flax, are exten- sively cultivated. From 70 to 100 bushels of Indian corn, it is said, have, in many instances, been pro- duced in a year from one acre. Coal O H 1-0 H I is found in great quantities in the eastern parts. Iron ore has been discovered and wrought pretty ex- tensively in several places, particu- larly on the south of Licking river, miles west of Zanesville, on Brush creek, and in some other places. Salt springs are found on ome of the eastern waters of Mus- kingutn, and on Salt creek, 28 miles outh-east from Chillicothe, where there are considerable salt works. Ohio takes the lead among the western states with regard to man- ufactures. Some of the most im- portant manufacturing towns are Cincinnati, Zanesville, Steuben- ville, and Chillicothe. The exports rom this state consist of flour, corn, hemp, flax, beef, pork, smoked hams of venison, whisky, peach-brandy, and lumber. More than half of the exports go to New Orleans; but nuch is sent to New York and other Atlantic cities. The Ohio Canal forms a communication be- tween the river Ohio, at Ports- mouth, and Lake Erie, at Cleve- and, 320 miles in length. The Miami Canal, which is completed from Cincinnati to Dayton, 65 m., has 22 locks, and cost $746,000, about $11,000 a mile. It extends through the richest portion of the state, and is the channel of an extensive trade. The bank of the United States has an office of discount and deposit at Cincinnati. The principal literary seminaries in this state are the University of Ohio, at Athens ; Miami University, at Oxford ; West- rn Reserve College, at Hudson ; Kenyon College, at Gambier ; and the Medical College of Ohio, at Cincinnati. The number of periodi- cal papers, in 1831, was estimated, at 150. The first permanent settle- nent of Ohio was commenced at Marietta, in 1788; in 1789, the coun- try was put under a territorial go- vernment, and called the Western Territory, -which name was after- wards altered to the Territory north- west of the Ohio; and in 1802, it was erected into an independent state.

Pennsylvania is ntersected by various mountains. The principal ridges of the Allegha- ny mountains, comprehended in Pennsylvania, are the Kittatinny, or the Blue mountains. The soil of Pennsylvania is various ; a small part of it is barren, but a great pro- portion of it fertile, and a consider- able part very excellent. It is generally better adapted to tillage than grazing; and much of it, partic- ularly the south-east part, is under excellent cultivation. The two best tracts of land are, one in the south- ast part, along the Susquehannah, the other in the north-west part, between Lake Erie and Alleghany river. Wheat is the most impor- tant article of produce. The next in value is Indian corn. Buck- wheat, rye, barley, oats, flax, hemp, beans, peas, and potatoes, arc extensively cultivated. Cherries, peaches, apples, and cider, are abun- dant. There are large dairies in many parts. Iron ore is distributed in large quantities in many parts of the state ; and in some places copper, lead, and alum, are found. Here are also numerous limestone quarries, and various kinds of mar- ble ; and in the middle and western parts there is an abundance of coal. The general style of architec- ture in this state is neat and solid. Stone buildings are most common in old settlements; brick houses are frequent; log and frame houset abound in the new country. In the towns there is a considerable pro- portion of brick houses. Many turnpike roads of the most durable material*, and best construction. 320 are mad. P E N-P E a in various parts of thef state. That, from Philadelphia to Lancaster is 62 miles in length, 24 1 feet wide, and covered 18 inches' deep with powdered stone.

Pennsylvania exceeds all the other states in the variety and extent of her manufactures, some of which are of superior excellence. In 1832 there were 67 cotton man- ufactories in the state, with an ag- gregate capital of $3,758,500, and making annually 21,332,467 yards of cloth.

It is the most regularly built city in the United States. Its principal streets are 100 feet wide, and the others not less than 50. They are perfectly straight, and intersect each other at right angles. Many of them aro beautifully shaded, all ar well 324 P H I P H I paved, and kept remarkably clean The houses are of brick, and gene rally of three stories. It is un- questionably among the most man ufacturing cities, all things taken into view, in the United States, Among all the extensive branches for which it is famous, paper, print ing, and publishing are important items. A great number of gazettes, periodicals, and monthlies are is sued; and one quarterly critical and another quarterly medical journal. This city vies with Bo ton in the number and extent of its school and classical books. It has a reputation also for the extent and excellence of its breweries. Its literary, philosophical, and humane institutions are worthy of all praise. The Philadelphia library owes its origin to the illustrious Franklin. It contains a museum, a philosoph- ical apparatus, the Philadelphia Library, and the Loganian Library, amounting in all to 42,OOU volumes. The American Philosophical Socie- ty, the Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agriculture, the Athc- nsum, and the Academy of Natural Sciences, are all important institu- tions, and have libraries and collec- tions. The Friends' Library con- tains a respectable collection, and the Friends' Common School Insti- tution is an important and an effi- cient one. There are among the literary institutions, great numbers of Lancasterian, Sunday and In- fant schools. Among the humane institutions is one for the deaf and dumb. One of the noblest estab- lishments in this or any other state is the Pennsylvania Hospital. It extends a front of 273 feet, and has a large building connected with it, sufficient to contain 50 or 60 pa- tients. Appended to it is a beauti- ful garden. There are admirable arrangements for every thing ap- pertaining to the comfort and res- toration of the diseased, both in body and mind.

The Theatre in Chesnut street has a marble front. The Masonic Hall, a little farther on, is in the Gothic style. The Academy of Arts is in Chesnut street be- tween Tenth and Eleventh. Among the statues are the Three Graces of Canova, and a gallery of pictures principally the works of American artists. The Mint of the United States is in Philadelphia, and the building forms an important addi- tion to the public edifices : it fronts on Chesnut near Broad street, and is built entirely of white marble. The amount coined annually varies from two and a half to three million dollars. The Schuylkill Water- Works are a splendid establishment, and noted especially for the rich and varied prospect enjoyed from them. The building in which the machinery is contained is a hand- some one, and the machinery is capable of raising 7 million gallons of water in 24 hours.

RED RIVKR, one of the most con ciderable tributaries of the Missis- sippi, and the first from its mouth of any importance, which it receive? on th? W. about 40;) miles above New Orleans. It takes its rise in a chain, of hills near Santa Fed droves of buffaloes, cattle, and wild horses. In these regions it receives a grea many considerable tributaries, th names of which have not yet beei iven. Through the greater part of its course, Red river winds through immense prairies of a red soil cov ered with grass, and vines that b^ar delicious crapes. Ou its banks i? the favorite ranee of thf; buffalo. and other game, peculiar toth;> vast western ocean of prairies. About thirty leagues above Natehitochcs. commences the Raft, which is no- thing more than a broad swampy expansion of the alluvion of the river, to the width of 20 or 30 miles. The river spreading here into a vast number of channels, frequently shallow, of course, has been for ages closing with a compact mass cif timber, and fallen trees, wafted from the upper regions. Between RED these masses the river has a chan nel, sometimes lost in a lake, aw* found by following the outlet of that lake back to the parent chan- nel. There is no stage of tlve water, in which a keel-boat, with an experienced pilot, may not make its way through the raft. We have seen a considerable steam-boat, which was built above the raft, and floated through it in an unfinished state. The river is blocked up by this immense mass of timber for a length, by its meanders, of between .0 and 70 miles. There are places where the water can be seen in mo- tion under the logs. In other places, the whole width of the river may b,j crossed on horseback, and boats only make their way, in passing those places, by following the inlet f a lake, and coasting it to its out- let, and this finding the channel again. Weeds, flowering shrufx?, and small willows, have taken root pon ths surface of this timber, and flourish above the waters. But in all these places the courses of the river, its outline, and its bends, are listinctly marked by a margin of forest trees, which grow here on tho hanks in the same manner as they I" whr:re the channels opan It is an mpediment of incalculable injury to the navigation of this noble riv- r, and the immense extent of fine country above it. There is, proba- bly, no part of the United States wh ''re the unoccupied lands have higher claims, from soil, climate, "atermixtnre of prairies arid tim- bered lands, position, and every in- lucement to population, than the country between the Raft and Ki- michie. This country would br> set- tled with great rapidity, were it not for the obstruction which this raft pposes to tha navigation of the iver. The state has made an effort to have it removed. Accurate sur- veys of it have been made, and the general government has made an appropriation for this purpose. The river above the raft becomes broad, ^ieep, and navigable for steam-boats, in moderate stages of the water, 1.000 miles towards the mountains. Below the raft, as we have remark- d, the river divides itself into manychannels, arid fills such anunv R E E R H O 347 ber of bayous and lakes, that 1 parallel to the river, that the bar* enumeration of their names woul carry us beyond our limits.

There are likewise in this state 5 bleachsries, and two establishments for printing calicoes connected with the cotton manu- factories, with an aggregate capital of $532,375, making the grand total of 0,794,715 dollars, employed in the manufacture of cotton goods. The amount of capital employed in the manufacture of Iron and steel, is $802,666, divided among 10 found- RHO efies and 30 machine shops. Cost of establishments for the manufac tureof wool in this state, including land, water-power, buildings, stock in trade, &c., is $263,000.

Some of the ores of iron are found in almost every state; and mines of this metal are worked in New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina. The United States are supplied with copper chiefly from Mexico and ottier foreign countries, hut ores of this metal exist in most of the states, and in the north-west territory are said to be in great abundance, in situations easy of access. Lead is chiefly procured from Missouri, and Fever River in Illinois. Of coal there is a large field 20 miles long by ten broad, twelve miles from Richmond, which has been long worked. This useful mineral is also found at various places in New England, New York, and Pennsylvania. But the most abun- dant supply is on the west side of the Alleghanies. Salt is chiefly obtained from tha sea, or imported into the eastern states; but salt springs abound in various parts of the United States, particularly in the valley of the Mississippi, from the Alleghanies to the Rocky Mountains; and in some situations on the western side of the valley, plains occur of many miles in Circuit, which are periodically covered with a thick crust of salt. The salt springs, at, Salina, in New York, are extensively worked, and vast ' 'quantities of salt are made from thorn annually. Pubtir Lands, A general Land-Office exists at Washington, which is sale of. vested exclusively with the power of contracting with the Indians for the sale of their lands. The business of the Land Office ia the survey and sale of the public lands. These lands are purchased of t.hs Indians by treaty with the government of the United States. Private individuals are not allowed to have any transactions of this description with tho natives; and the law has been rigorously observed. Thn aggregate of all the unsold and unappropriated public lands of the United States, surveyed and unsurveyed, on which the Indian title re- mains or has been extinguished, lying within and without the bounda- ries of the new states and territories, according to a report made to congress in April 1832, is 1,090,871,753 acres. The lands are surveyed and set off into townships of six miles square, each of which is divided into thirty-six sections, of one mile square, or(>40 acres. The dividing lines run in the direction of the cardinal points, crossing one another at right angles. One section, or one thirty-sixth part of every township, is allotted for the support of schools, and in the country west of the Alleghanies, seven entire townships have been given, in perpetuity, for the endowment of superior seminaries of learning. The lands are offered to public sale, in quarter sections, of 160 acres, at the minimum price of one and one fourth dollar per acre, and whatever remains un- sold may hi purchased privately at this price. Th amount of sales is on the increase; in 1831, it amounted to $3,000,000. Salt springs, and lead mines, are reserved bv government. Army and By an act of congress, 1H1.>, the strength of the regular Miiiiia. army was fixe:] at 9,030 m-n. In 1821, it was reduced to 6,442, and on the 1st. of January, lrl'>2, tin- number was (5,188. The militia, which constitutes the principal military force of the United States, COfl- U N I-U N I 407 sists of all the males between the ages of 18 and 45, and in 1830, amount- ed to 1,362,315. The estimated expense of the standing army for 1832, including fortifications, armories, &c. was $6,648,099. When the militia are called into the field for actual service, they have the same pay and allowances as the regular army, bui are only bound to serve t .1 \ months. The Navy of the United States is small in point of numbers, Navy- but is perhaps the best organized ami most elective in the world. The unexpected and astonii-hing success of their frigates in combats with ISriti.-h vessels of the same class during the late war, es- tablished at once the reputation of the American navy for skill and prowess in the eyes of Europe; and the United States, with a very few ships, already rank high as a naval power. From 1816 to lfc'21, i.ne million of dollars was expended annually in building ships of war. Since lr'21 the sum thus appropriated has been reduced one half. The strength of the American navy was as follows, in l&fci: Seven ships of the line, 7 frigates of the first rate, 3 of the second rate, 15 sloops of war, 8 schooners. The oldest vessels are the Constitution, the United States, and the Constellation, all built in the year 171)7 Now building in the United States, 5 ships of the line, and 7 frigates. Of the rank of lieutenants and upwards, there are 325; surgeons and assistant surgeons, 97 ; pursers 41 ; chaplains 9 ; midshipmen 445 ; sail- ing masters 30 ; boatswains 17; gunners 19; carpenters 13; sail-makers 14. In the marine corps there are 1 colonel, 9 captains, and 30 lieuten- ants. Total number of officers and men, 6,345. There are 7 navy yards belonging to, and occupied for the use of, the United States, viz: No. 1. The navy yard at Portsmouth, N. H., is situated on.an island, on the east side of I'iscataqua river, within the jurisdiction of Mitsa- chusetts, contains 58 acres, and cost $5,500. No. 2. The navy yard at Charlestown, Mass., is situated on the north side of Charles river, on a point of land east of the town of Charles- town, contains 34 acres, exclusive of extensive flats, and cost $39,214, including commissions and charges. No. 3. The navy yard at New York, is situated on Long Island, oppo- site to the city of New York, on the Wallabout Bay, contains 40 acres, including the mill-pond, and cost $40,000. No. 4. The navy yard at Philadelphia is situated on the west side of the river Delaware, within the district of Southwark, adjoining the city of Philadelphia, in the state of .Pennsylvania, contains 11 acres, to low- water mark, and cost $37,000. No. 5. The navy yard at Washington, in the District of Columbia, is situated on the Eastern branch of the river Potomac, contains 37 acres, and cost $4,000. No. (). Tho navy yard at Gosport is situated on the south branch of Elizabeth river, adjoining the town of Portsmouth, in the state of Vir- ginia, contains l(i acres, and cost $12,000. No. 7. Pensacola, Florida. The mint was established at Philadelphia in 1792. During Mj nt . the first 10 years of its establishment, ending in 1801, the amount of silver coinage alone was $1,574,000; from 1801 to 1811, it was $4,858,000; from 1811 to 1821, $6,180,000; and from 1821 to 1831. $18.32.5,000. The whole coinage of 1831, amounted to $3,923,473, of which $714,270 were of gold, <$3,175,COO of silver, and $35.(i03 of cop- per. The expense of the mint for the same year was $28,000. Of the gold coined, $518,000 were from the gold regions of the U. S. Gold and silver are coined without expense to the owners. The probable supply of bullion for the next period of 10 years, is estimated at 6,000,000 an- nually The metallic currency of the 17. S*. is estimated at $30,000.000 408 Post-Office. U N I U T I The first post-office in America was established in the city of New York, in 1710. In 1789, the exclusive direction of posts, &c., was conferred by the constitution on congress. At that time there were but 75 post-offices in the country. In 1831, the number of post-of- fices was 8,686; the extent of post-roads 115,176 miles; and the yearly transportation of mails equal to 15,468,692 miles. The expenses of the post-office department, for the year 1830, were $1,959,109 ; the receipts, $1,919,300; balance against the department, $39,809. Salaries, Pen- The largest salary is that of the President, which is sions, &c. $25,000 annually ; ministers plenipotentiary receive $9,000 a year, with the same sum for an outfit ; the secretaries of state, the navy, treasury, and war, and the post-master general, $0,000 ; the vice president and the chief justice, $5,000 ; associate judges of the supreme court, and charge d'affaires, $4,500; and members of congress $8 per day. The annual revolutionary and other pensions amount to $1,363,29(5. There are no sinecures in the U. S. The debt of the United States consists of sums borrowed Debt, during the revolutionary war, and at various subsequent periods. The debt due by the government at the close of the war in 1783. wa.s 42,000,375 dollars ; but no proper provision being made for the payment of the interest, and the public revenue often falling short of the expend- iture, the debt continued to increase, and in 1790 it amounted to 79,124,404 dollars. Various measures were taken for its liquidation, but with little effect, till 1805. From that period a gradual reduction took place, till it was stopped by the war with England in 1812. In 1812 the amount of the public debt was 45,035,123 dollars, but in consequence of the loans made during the war, it amounted in 1816 to 123,016,375 dollars. Great progress has since been made in paying off the debt, and on the first of January, 1832, it was reduced to $24,322,235 18. UNITIA, v. Blount co. Ten., 190 rn. eastward from Murfreesborough.

Ohio, Sandy, Monou gahela, and Cheat. The Dismal Swamp Canal, 22 miles long, op >ns a communication between Norfolk in Virginia, and Elizabeth City, in tfprth Carolina. The staple pro- ductions are wheat and tobacco Th:> sqil of a great proportion of the county of Randolph and the adja- cent counties in the north-west par! of the state, is of an excellent quali ty. producing large crops of grain The surface is uneven and hilly The county is well watered, is ex cellent for grazing, and has a very healthy climate. There are many mineral springs in Virginia. The hot and warm springs of Bath coun ty, the sweet springs of Monroe county, the sulphur springs of Green brier and of Montgomery counties and the baths of Berkley county are much frequented. The mosi remarkable curiosities are the Natu ral Bridge, the passage of the Poto mac at Harper's Ferry, the cataract f Falling Spring, and several cares V I R-V I R 415 Since the year 1827, the gold mines f Virginia have attracted consider - ible attention. The belt of coun- ry in which they are found extends h-ough Bpotsylvania and some loighboring counties. The gold egion abounds in quartz, which ontains cubes of sulphuret of iron. These cubes are often partly or otally decomposed ; and the cells hus created are sometimes filled vith gold. The gold is found on he surface, and in the structure of luartz; but in greatest abundance esting upon slate, and in its fis- mres. The gold is diffused over arge surfaces, and has not yet been "lund sufficiently in mass, except n a f<;w places, to make mining irofitable. The method of obtain- ig the metal is by filtration, or washing the earth, and by an amal ;am of quicksilver. The average ,-alue of the earth yielding gold is stated at 20 cents a bushel. The imount received from this state at he United States' mint in 1830 was ji-24,000. The number of cotton nanufactories in this state in 1832 was seven, having an aggregate apital of 290,000 dollars, making annually 675,000 yards of cloth. The Natural Bridge, the most sub- ime of Nature's works, is on the iscent of a hill, which seems to lave been cloven through its length jy some great convulsion. The fissure, just at the bridge, is by some admeasurements 270 fret deep, by others only 205. It is about 45 feet wide at the bottom, and 90 feet at he top: this of course determines the length of the bridge, and its height from the water. The breadth in the middle is about 1:0 feet, but more at the ends, and the thickness of the mass at the summit of the arch, about 40 feet. A part of thia thickness is constituted by a coat of earth, which gives growth to many large trees. The residue, with the hill on both sides, is one solid rock of lime-stone. The passage of the Potomac through the Blue Ridge, says Mr. Jefferson, is perhaps one of the most stupendous scenes in nature. You stand on a very high point of land. On your right comes the Bhenandoah, having ranged along the foot of the mountain 416 V I R V I R hundred miles to seek a vent. On your left approaches the Potomac in quest of a passage also. In the moment of their junction they rush together against the mountain, rend it asunder, and pass off to the sea. This scene is worth a voyage across the Atlantic. Yet here, as in the neighborhood of the Natural Bridge, are people who have passed their lives within a half dozen miles, and have never been to sur vey these monuments of a war be- tween rivers and mountains, whicl must have shaken the earth itself to its centre. In the lime-stone country of Virginia there are sever al caves of considerable extent fiscations, and derelict property ; ilso all lands forfeited for the non- jayment of taxes, and all sums re- 'unded by the national government "or the expenses of the late war, have been appropriated to the en- louragement of learning. Of the nteres-t of the fund, $15,000 are an- nually appropriated to the Universi- y of Virginia, and $45,000 to the iducatiou of the poor in the differ- :iit counties, according to the ratio of white population. The state has i permanent fund devoted to the purposes of internal improvement if $1,418,961 11; and a disposable fund of $681,630; total $-2, 100,51)1 11. Annual income from both funds, The most remarkable one is VVier's $121,836 75. This fund is managed greatly inferior to Wier's Cave. The aggregate amount of bank capital is $5,(i07,000. The Bank of the United States has an office of discount and deposit at Richmond and Norfolk. Besides the Universitj of Virginia, incorporated in 1819 and established at Charlottesville Albemarle county, there are three colleges in this state; William and Mary college, at Williamsburg Hanipden Sidney college, in Prince Edward county, on Appomatox t. and Washington college at Lex ington, west of the Blue Ridge, nea James river. Academies and com mon schools are also established in several towns. This state has pro duced a number of eminent charac ters, of whom WASHINGTON, th< Great and the Good, is of mos illustrious memory. It has furnish ed four of the presidents of th< Union. This state has a Literary Fund, created in 1809, and amount ing, in available capital, according to a late report, to $1,510,689 71 Cave, which is on the north side of the Blue Ridge, and on the south fork of the Shenandoah. It is in a hill, which is about 200 feet in per pendicular height, and so steep thai you may pitch a biscuit from its summitinto the river which washes its base. It was discovered in 1804 Its entrance is only about 100 yards from that of Madison's Cave, anoth er celebrated cavern, which, though it has been much longer known, is whom the country was named Vir- ginia. The governor's annual salary s $3,333f This state sends 21 re- presentatives to congress. VIRGIN ISLANDS, about 30 islands 13 directors, styled the Board of Public Works. The first permanent English settlement formed in Amer- ica was made, in 1607, by 105 ad- venturers, on James river, in this state, at a place named Jamestown, in honor of James I. of England. Several unsuccessful attempts had been made in the latter part of the preceding century, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, in honor of and keys in the West Indies, be- tween St. Juan de Puerto Rico and the Leeward Caribbee Islands. They are possessed by the English and Danes. VISALIA, v. Campbell co. Ken., 97 n. N. from Frankfort. VOLNEY, t. Oswesro co. N. Y., on the Oswego, 50 m."W. from Rome.

States in full sovereignty, and the proprietors of the soil surrendered their lands to be laid out as a city, gave up one- half to the U. S., and subjected other parts to be sold to raise money as a donation to be employed and constitute a fund for the public! buildings. The buildings belonging to the U. States, are, 1. The Capi- tol: This is a magnificent structure of the Corinthian order. It is situ- ated on the western extremity of Capitol Square, 7? feet above the tide-water of the Potomac. The eminence commands a tine view of the city, the river, and the sur- rounding country. The Capitol is of white freestone, composed of a central edifice and two wings, and is of the following dimensions: Length of front 350 feet, depth of wings 121, east projection 65, west do. 83, height of wings to top of bal- ustrade 70, do. to top of centre dome 120, length of Representatives' Hall 95, height do. GO, length of Senate Chamber 74, height do. 42, diameter of Rotunda 90, height do. f.O. The Representatives' Chamber is a mag nificent semicircular apartment supported by bluish polished stone columns, lighted from above. In the centre of the building is the Ro- tunda, 90 feet in diameter, and the same number of feet in height. It is ornamented with national pai ings, representing the surrender at Saratoga and York town, the De claration of Independence, and Washington Resigning his Com mission. Each of these paintings is 12 feet by 18. There are also re lievos in marble representing Poca hontas rescuing Capt. Smith from death, the landing of the pilgrims at Plymouth, one of Penn's treaties with the Indians, and a battle be- tween Boon and two Indians. This noble and magnificent apartment is of white marble, and lighted from the dome. Men on the pediment seem dwindled to atoms, and the slightest noise creates echoes, which reverberate upon the ear with a grand and surprising effect. The foundation of the north wing was laid in the presence of Gen. Wash ington in 1798, and that of the cen tre in 1818, on the anniversary of ts destruction by the British in 1814. The building covers nearly 2 acres, and the square in front con- ains 22 acres, comprehending a :ircumference of over $ of a mile; nclosed by an iron railing, with icat gate-ways and gravel walks, bordered with shrubs and flowers, brining a delightful promenade. Pennsylvania Avenue is the princi- >al street in Washington, extend- ng from the west front of theCap- tol to the President's House. The cost of the Capitol was $2,596,500. 2.

The General Post-Office is a large brick difice, nearly a mile north-west of ;he Capitol, in which are kept the )ffices of the post-office establish- nent, the General Land-Office, and :he Patent-Office, in which more than 2,000 patents are shown, among which are a great many use- ful and useless inventions. The Navy Yard is situated on the East- ern Branch, and has all the appur- tenances for building ships of the "argest size. The City Hall is 251 feet long by 50 in breadth. Congress' Library is now kept in the Capitol, and contains from 8 to 10,000 vol- umes. The Columbian College has an extent of 117 feet by 47, is situa- ted on elevated ground, and is a lof- ty building, calculated to accommo- date 100 students. There are a num- ber of other public buildings, and 14 houses of public worship. There are also a City Library, Medical, Botanical, Clerks', Benevolent, Ma- sonic, Orphan, Bible, Dorcas, Mis- sionary, and Tract Societies, Co- lumbian Institute, and other insti- tutions. Education is not overlook- ed, as is evinced by the numerous academies and schools which are established. Beside the Columbian W A S W A 3 423 College, adjoining the city, there is a large Catholic Theological Semi- nary in the city, connected with which is a school for the general education of youth.

S. bank, a fire insurance com- pany, 10 printing-offices, 3 daily, and several tri-weekly, semi-week- ly, and weekly newspapers. The seat of government was removed here in the year 1600, during the presidency of John Adams. The city was incorporated by an act of congress, passed on the 3d of May, 1802, by which act, the appointment of the mayor was vested in the pres- ident yearly, and the two branches of the council, elected by the peo- ple, in a general ticket. In a sup plementary act, passed May 4, 1812. the corporal ion was made to consist of a mayor, a board of aldormrn. and a board of common council : the board of aldermen to consist of 8 members, elected for two years. two to be residents of, and chosen from, each ward ; the board of com- mon council to consist of twelve. three from each ward; the mayor, by the joint ballot of the twoboards, to serve for one year. By a new charter granted by congress on the 15th May, 1820, it is provided that the mayor shall be elected by the people to serve two years, from the second Monday in June ; the board of aldermen to consist of two mem- bers from each ward, elected for two years, and are, ex-officio, jus tices of the peace for the whole county.
