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.

Pop. 53,560. Chief town, Albany.
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. The business transacted in
this establishment amounts to sev-
eral hundred thousand dollars a
year.

The soil exhibits every variety,
from the most productive to the
most sterile. The various kinds of
small grain succeed well, such as
wheat, rye, oats, barley, and maize
Garden plants are abundant, and
grow luxuriously. 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. The Arkansas Ter-
ritory was erected into a separate
(government in 1819, extending from
jthe Mississippi to Mexico; but, in
J1624, the western limit was restrict-
ed to a line beginning 40 miles the

Baltimore is w?H situated for com-
merce. It is connected by good
turnpike roads with various part.*
of Pennsylvania, and with the na-
\i liable waters which run into the
Ohio. It possesses the trade of
Maryland, and of a great portion
of the back country of Pennsylva-
nia, and the western states. In
amount of shipping, il is the third
city in the Union. In its immedi-
ate neighborhood are about CO flour
mills, a single one of which has
produced 32.000 barrels in a year.
There are also a number of estab-
lishments for the manufacture of
cloth, cotton, paper, powder, iron.
&c. The city is built around a bay.
which sets up from the north side
of the Patapsco, and affords a spa
cious arid convenient harbor. 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. Baltimore con-
tains the state penitentiary; the
city and county alms-house ; a court
house; 2 museums; 3 theatres; a
custom-house; a hospital, in which
there is a fine collection of ana-
tomical preparations in wax; a
exchange, an immense edifice of
four stories; 5 market-houses, 10
banks, 4? houses of public worship
a public library, a lunatic asylum
an observatory, and several ele-
gant public fountains. A marble
monument to the memory of Gene-
ral Washington has been erected
>n an elevation at the north end of
Charles street. The base is 50 feet
square, and 23 feet high, on which
s another square of about half the
extent and elevation. On this is a
fty column, 20 feet in diameter
at the base, and 14 at the top. On
:he summit of this column, 163 feet
rom the ground, the statue of
Washington is placed. 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. It is
now styled the University of Mary
"and, and embraces the departments
of languages, arts, sciences, medi-
cine, law, and divinity. The Bal-
imore and Ohio rail-road extends
'rom this city to the Ohio river at
Pittsburg, 200 m. It was begun in
9, and a great portion of it ia
already completed. Another rail-
d has been commenced, to ex-
tend from Baltimore to York Haven
on the Supquehannah, CO m.

The periodicals of the city are

public schools are not equalled

treated from the spot, but the Hut
ish suffered the loss of nearly half

ain, a noble monument has been
commenced on the spot, and is now
about one-third finished. It is a
plain obelisk of granite, and will

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.

children. There is a find also for
educating at the South Carolina
college such boys as manifest dis-
tinguished talents. Many of the
charitable institutions of this hos-
pitable city are munificently en-
dowed, and afford ample and effi-
cient relief to the various species
of distress, for the alleviation of
which they are designed. The city
is regularly laid out; and hand
somely, and in some parts splen-
didly built. The site was originally
low and marshy; but the low places
have been filled up, and so raised
that the streets are perfectly dry.
desolated by the yellow fever, it is
considered healthier for acclimated
inhabitants, than the surrounding
country. The planters from the
[strangers from the West
jcome here to spend the sickly
months, and to enjoy the elegant
land enlightened society, with which
this city abounds. The city owns
a large amount of shipping, and in
the value of its exports is the fourth
city in the union. By the way of
(Norfolk, and across the bays, it has
rapid and .easy steam-boat commu-
nications with the northern cities.
In 1820, the population was 24,780,

of these hills, the town is distinctly
presented to the eye, and spreads a
panoramic map of exquisite beauty
and variety. Cincinnati is the most
flourishing commercial town in the
west, except New Orleans; and
furnishes perhaps the most signal
example of that spirit and capacity
for improvement, which result from
the existence of free institutions,
and are destined to fill the Missis-
sippi valley with a teeming popu-
lation. Seven of the streets are 66
feet wide, and 3:16 apart, intersect-
ed by streets of the same width and
distance, at right angles. One en-
tire square, and the fraction of an-
other, are reserved in central parts
of the city for public buildings.
The city buildings cover an irregu-
lar area nearest the form of a par-
allelogram. The central parts are
compactly built with houses and
stores that would ornament any
town. The most showy quarters
are Main, Broadway, and Fourth-
street, westward from its intersec-
tion with Main. The public build
ings are a court-house, jail, four
narket-houses, one of them 500 feet
in length, the Bazaar, U. S. Branch
Bank, the Cincinnati College, the
Catholic Athenaeum, the Medical
College, the Mechanics' Institute,
two Theatres, two Museums, the
Hospital and Lunatic Asylum, and
the Woodward High School. Some
other public buildings are in con-
templation. Beside these, there are
24 churches, great and small. The
Second Presbyterian church is the
handsomest of these, the exterior
being of agreeable architecture, and
the interior decidedly beautiful.
In 1800, the population was 500; inhThe number of substantial build-
1810, 2,540; in 1815, it was esti-j ings added annually to the city for

The growth of Cincinnati has been
rapid, almost without a parallel.

Its position is a beautiful vale, 12
miles in circumference, created byi
an elliptical sweep of Ohio hills.j

The surface of the District of Co
lumbia is generally very pleasantly
diversified by hill and dale. 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 num-
>er of banks in 1831 was 10, in
:luding a branch of the United
States Bank at Washington. The
Uautists in this district have 18
hurches, 10 ministers, and 1,658
jonununicanU; the Presbyterians,
i churches, 11 ministers, 5 licen-
iates, and 900 communicants ; the
Methodists, 1,400 members ; and the
Episcopalians, 5 ministers; the
Catholics, several churches; the
Jnitarians, 1 minister.

nary buildings, suitable to legisla-
tive and judicial proceedings, and
for religious purposes, a college,
under the title of "the S. C. Col-
lege," was established in this town
in 1801, under the direct patronage
of the state. It has 9 instructors,
and above 100 students, with an
excellent library, exceeding f\000
volumes. It is indeed one of the
nost flourishing institutions in the

geographical centre of it. It is
situated on the E. bank of the Sci-
)to river, in the centre of Franklin
county, and occupies a beautiful
slope, just below the confluence of
Whetstone river with the Scioto.
It was a compact forest in 18J2. It
now has a number of respectable
schools, a classical seminary, the
customary number of stores, a
bank, four printing-offices, a com-
nodious brick market-house, a
state-house, a building for the pub-
lic offices, a penitentiary, and an
asylum for the deaf and dumb.
The state-house is 75 by 50 feet.
The top of the cupola is 10(5 feet
high. Around it are railed walks,
'rom which the whole town is visi-
ile as from a map. It commands
i delightf.il landscape over a coun-
ry charmingly variegated, as ex-
tensive as the eye can reach. The
village of Franklinton, a mile to
he west, and the winding Scioto,
ire comprehended in this view.
The building that contains the
mblic offices, is 100 by 25 feet. In
i line with it and the state-house,
s the handsome court-house for
he Federal court. These buildings
ire all on the public square, an
*irea of 10 acres, reserved for pub-
ic us,';, in the centre of the town.

This state has had a rapid i ncrease
of inhabitants ; yet the greater par
of the land within its limits still
belongs to the United States. 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

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.

which contains 200 houses and 1,200
nhabitants. It will probably be-

INDIES, West. 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

cloudless, and th^heat would be
Imost insupportable, but for the

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

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

.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

plants, shrubs and trees are natives

'rom a single trunk of a cotton tree,

species of palm will shade five or
six men. The palmetto, or moun-

nigh, and its verdant summit trem-
bles from the slightest breeze. A
splendid variety of the noblest trees
graces the plantations. Lemon,

maica, in common with the other
West-India islands, produces in
abundance, is one of the most agree-
able and nutritious vegetables in
the world. Jamaica contains three
counties, Middlesex, Surrey, and
Cornwall. The government is com-

The principal rivers of Kentuck
are the Ohio, which flows along th
state 637 miles, following its wind-
ings, the Mississippi, Tennessee,
Cumberland, Kentucky, Green,
Licking, Big Sandy, Salt, and Roll-
ing. 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. A canal about two m. long,
iround the falls of Ohio r., at Louis-
ville, was finished in 1831. A rail
oad is in progress from Lexington
o the Ohio. The Bank of the United
States has offices of discount and
leposit at Lexington and Louisville.
There are two banks chartered by
he state, namely, the Bank of Ken-
ucky and the Bank of the Com-
monwealth of Kentucky, at Frank-
'ort. Transylvania University, in
Lexington, is the oldest and most
celebrated institution in the west-
ern states, and has medical and law
schools connected with it. Centre
College is established at Danville;
Augusta College, at Augusta ; Cum-
berland College, at Princeton ; and
St. Joseph's College, a respectable
Catholic seminary, at Bairdstown.
The salary of the governor is 2,000
dollars. This state sends 13 repre-
sentatives to congress.

is the commercial capital of the
state, and one of its most ancient
towns. It received its name from
some hunters, who were encamped
under the shade of the original for-
est, where it is built, and who,
receiving the first intelligence of
Lexington battle in Massachusetts,
named the town after that, where
commenced the great struggle of
American independence. It was
for a long time the political metro-
polis of the state, and the most im-
portant town in the West. Tran-
sylvania University has fair claims
to precedence among western colle-
giate institutions. Its chief edifice

tients, under the guidance and effi-
cient care of physicians, surgeons,
and nurses. The U. S. Branch Bank
has a large banking-house, in which
business in the way of discount and
negotiation of bills, is annually
transacted to the amount of 1,700,000
lollars. The chief manufactures are
those of cotton-bagging, and various
kinds of cordage, particularly bale
rope. Of 'the former were manu-
factured in 1830, 1,000.000 yards;
and of the latter 2,000,000 pounds.
There are three factories for spin-
ning and weaving wool, and five or
six for cotton ; and one large and

the libraries connected with the
University number 14,100 volumes.
The law school has 25 pupils; and
the medical class 211, from all the
southern and western states. The
reputation of its professors has given
it a deservedly high standing. The
Rev. Mr. Peers is at the head of a
school gaining great reputation, as
being the only one known in the U.
States, the pupils of which are pro-
fessedly guided in their whole disci-
pline, with reference to the physi-
cal, organic, and moral laws of our
being. The Female Academy, un-
der the care of Rev. Mr. Woods, is
in high repute, and has 100 pupils.
There are various other schools
which concur with these to vindi-
cate the high literary estimation of
this city. The other public edificas

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. The gov-
ernor's salary is 7,000 dollars. This
state sends three representatives to
congress.

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.

the United States, except Pittsburg.
It has the waters of the Merrimack
at command, with a fall of above
30 feet. The largest manufacturing
establishments in the country are
at this place ; they belong to 8 or
10 different companies. 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.
It contains a number of churches
and public buildings, and has had

The Territories of Tlascala and
Coliina consist of those cities re-
spectively, together with a very
limited extent of contiguous coun-
try. 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.

with Mackinack, Detroit, Chicago,
and Ohio. The amount of foreign
MD MIC
exports, in 1831, was $53,290. 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.

MISSISSIPPI, a river of the U. S
This magnificent stream has al

the reader a correct account of i
without considerable repetition
would be scarcely possible. It risei
in high table-land, in the grea

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

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

nouth of the river DCS Moines,
vhich are about 9 m. in length,

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

Its general course is south. Iti
most important branches, begin

nimstances shift the impetus of its

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

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

Missouri, are exceedingly rich.
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

is very little of an intermediate

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. Al., bounded by the
rulf of Mexico S., Mississippi W.,

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.

long. There are also canals at
German Flats and Herkimer. A

MONTREAL! city. L. C. 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.

NEW BRITAIN. The country lying
round Hudson's bay, or the country
f the Esquimaux, comprehending
Labrador, New North and South
Wales, has obtained the general
name of New Britain, and is at-
:ached to the government of Lower
Canada. That part called Labrador
s full of frightful mountains, many
~>f which are of a stupendous
icight. The valleys present numer-
us lakes, and produce only a few
stunted trees. In the parallel of
50 north latitude, all vegetation
leases. Such is the intenseness of
he cold in the winter, that brandy,
ind even quicksilver, freezes into
i solid mass; rocks often burst
vith a tremendous noise, equal to
hat of the heaviest artillery. At
Vain, Okkak, and Hopedale, the
Moravian missionaries have settle-

rnents. In New North and Soutl
Wales the face of the country has
not quite the same aspect of un
conquerable sterility as that of La
brador; and the climate, although
in the same parallel of latitude, is
a little less rigorous. But it is onlj
the coasts of these immense region
that are known, the interior hav
ing never yet been explored. Tht
natives are called Esquimaux
Some factories and forts, for th<
purpose of carrying on the fur trade
with the Indians, are establishet
by the Hudson's Bay and North
west companies. The trade of the
former is confined to the neighbor
hood of Hudson's bay ; that of the
latter extends from lake Winnipeg
to the Rocky mountains and the
Frozen Ocean. The North- wesi
company is composed of Montrea
merchants. The usual mode of trav
oiling in this country is in birch
bark canoes. With these the in
habitants pass up and down the
rivers and lakes, and when they
meet with a rapid, or wish to pass
from one river to another, they gel
out of the canoe and carry it on
their shoulders. In this way, the
men engaged in the fur trade trave
thousands of miles, and carry al
tneir goods. The principal rivers
are the Mackenzie, Nelson, Saskas
hawan, Severn, and Albany. The
Grea
largest lakes are Winnipeg, Atha
pescow, Slave Lake, an
Bear Lake.

NEW BRUNSWICK, in British

Lawrence, S. by the Bay of Fundy
and Nova Scotia, and W. by the
United States. The principal rivers
are the St. John's, Miramichi, and
Ristigouche. The lands on the riv
ers, especially on the St. John, are
very fertile, and the settlements lie

com-
at Martin's
head on the bay of Fundy, and ex-
tends east into Nova Scotia. The
chief articles of export are lumber,
codfish, salmon, and herring. The
principal ports are St. John, St. An
drew, Miramichi, and the West
Isles. The province is divided into
3 counties. 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.

whole extent of pea-const in this
state, from the southern boundary
to the mouth of Piscataqua harbor,
is 18 miles. 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

NEW HAVEN, city, sea-port, and
ap. of New Haven co. Con., and
emi-capital of the stale, stands at
he head of a bay which opens 4 m.
nto the land, from Long Island
Sound. It is surrounded by a beau-
iful and extensive plain, bounded
>n all sides, except towards the
vater, by lofty hills, which rise in
some places to the height of 300 or
400 feet. It is laid out with great
egularity and neatness ; the streets
ire 64 feet in width, and their in-
ersections rectangular. A square
n the centre is laid out as a public
ground. It is adorned with rows
f handsome shade trees and spa-
cious walks. On this square stand
the public buildings, the college ed-
fices, and 4 churches. For beauty,
there are few squares in the Union
to compare with this. Two of the
churches are for Con<rregationalists,
EMid are very elegant structures.
Another is for Episcopalians, and
is a most superb Gothic edifice of
stone. The state-house, which
stands in front of this square, is
one of the handsomest buildings of
the kind in the United States.
This city contains also a Metho-
dist meeting-house, a jail, an alrns-
hor.se, a museum, an observatory,
2 banks, a large gun factory, and
manufactories of paper and cotton.
Yale College, at this place, was
founded in 1700, and ranks as the
second literary institution in the
Union. The college library con-
tains 9,500 volumes, and the stu-
dents', 9,000. The philosophical
and chemical apparatus is excellent
and complete. The faculty consists
of a president, 14 professors, and 7
tutors. The whole number of stu-
dents in 1831, divided among the
departments of law, medicine, the-
ology, and the academic course
was 496. Of this number the col-
lege students made 269. The stu-
lents attend the lectures of the
several professors on their respec-
tive branches, and have frequent
exercises in speaking and composi-

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

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-

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. This state sends 6 repre

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

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. The city and Faux-
bourgs (suburbs) contained, in 1830,
46,310 inhabitants. It is about

nication between the Hudson and
lake Champlain, is 63 miles long,
and extends from Whitehall to
Watervliet, where it unites with
the Erie Canal. The Oswego Canal

land?, and established a colonial
government in 1629. In 1664,

his brother, the duke of York, a
patent for a large tract of country,
funning the present states of New
York and New Jersey; and during

a considerable force, in the service
of the duke, made a conquest of the
country; and the name of New
Netherlands was afterwards chang-
"d into New York. In 1673, the col-
ony was recaptured by the Dutch,
and held by them a few months ; but,
with the exception of this short pe-
riod, it was in the possession of the
English from 16G4 till the American
Revolution, in 1775. The govern-

NIAGARA, r. in N. America, which
carries the surplus waters of Lakes
Superior, Michigan, Huron, and
Erie, into Lake Ontario. Its gene-
ral course from Lake Erie to Lake
Ontario is N. For the first 2 miles
its current is rapid it then be-
comes smooth and gentle, with a
width varying from half a mile to
a mile and a half, and flows 7 in. to
Grand Isle, where it divides into
two large branches, which unite
again at the foot of this island
(which is 18 m. long) 3 miles above
the Great Falls. Its width here is
pwards of a mile ; but now its
breadth gradually diminishing as
'ts velocity increases, it becomes
reduced to $ of a mile in width,
when its waters are poured down a
precipice of 160 feet perpendicular,
accompanied with a tremendous
roar, which is heard at the distance
of fifteen miles. There is a small
island in the river just above the
brink of the falls, which divides
the stream into two parts, but they
unite long before they reach the
bed of the river below. This river,
hichis the boundary line between
N. Y. and Upper Canada, is 35 m.
298 N I A-
in length. This stupendous cata-
ract is justly regarded as one of
the most sublime and imposing
spectacles exhibited in nature. It
may well be supposed that so mag-
nificent a spectacle should attract
thousands of visitors. It has be-
come a place of great fashionable
resort ; and during the summer
months, it is thronged with visitors
from every quarter of the civilize
world. It may appear singular, yet
it is affirmed to be true, that some
persons have lived and grown ol
within hearing of the roar of these
falls without ever having seei
them, while many have made jour
neys of thousands of miles for the
purpose, and thought themselves
richly rewarded for their curiosity.
