PREFACE.
IN the preparation of this Gazetteer and the Map, which has occupied
nearly three years, the principal object has been to present a work as
complete and comprehensive as the present state of statistical and geo
graphical knowledge would admit, within the smallest practical size. To
accomplish this design, and make it eminently practical as a book of
reference, the principal places only are described in detail, and the de
scriptions are confined for the most part to matters which are permanent
in their character.
The great inconvenience attending large and expensive gazetteers, in
a country undergoing such vast changes and improvements as ours, is,
that much of the detail becomes in a very few years obsolete and use
less. The author has therefore preferred to substitute a larger number of
places, and other matter of a less ephemeral nature. And the Gazetteer
is offered as embracing several thousand more names than is to be found
in any other single work of a similar character. Besides the usual places,
all the post offices in the United States are given from the official list of
the Post Master General up to the year 1837.
Although intended to accompany the Map of the United States, yet
the Map and Book are not necessarily connected each being complete in
itself, with the single exception of a few reference initial letters of towns
and villages inserted on the map, where it was impossible conveniently to
give the names in full. The whole work taken separately, or with the
Map, is particularly calculated for business men, as a complete geographi
cal reference.
To obtain the latest information, the following letter was extensively
circulated throughout the country, particularly in the western and
southwestern sections.
DEAR SIR,
Having been engaged about two years in the preparation of a
large MAP OF THE UNITED STATES, the engraving of which is nearly fin
ished, to be accompanied with a complete REFERENCE GAZETTEER; and
desirous of making them as perfect as the latest geographical knowledge
of our country will admit, especially in reference to the increasing and
flourishing states of the west and southwest: I respectfully request
your answer to the following questions, or either of them :
1. Have any new counties been created in your neighbourhood or

state within the last two years ? if so, give the names, boundaries, and
population.
2. What new towns, or townships their situation, &c. ?
3. What new milages their situation, population, and distances from
other neighboring villages?
4. What canals and railroads, or other internal improvements, have
been projected or completed within the same period with the places
connected thereby ?
5. What new public or stage road has been established ? and please
state, generally, such other information as may be interesting, concern
ing your section of the country.
Reasonable compensation, to be agreed upon, will be cheerfully given
for manuscript and other original documents and surveys, that may con
tribute to the perfection of the Map and Gazetteer.
Very respectfully yours, &c.,
WILLIAM CHAPIN.
This circular elicited many answers from gentlemen of intelligence
in various sections of the country, with much local information in man
uscript and otherwise, for which the author owes many obligations.
It is not expected that this work is free from errors. It would be im
possible from its difficult and complicated nature to be perfect. But no
labor nor expense has been spared to make it as correct and acceptable
to the public as possible.
New York, June, 1838.
GENERAL VIEW OF THE UNITED STATES.
As many of the principal details will be presented in the descriptions of the seve
ral states, m their appropriate places, it is not thought necessary to give them here.
This article will therefore be confined to a more general view of the United States
and the territories, and to such particulars as cannot be so well embraced in any
other place.
BOUNDARIES AND EXTENT.
The territory of the United States is bounded on the N. by the British and Rus
sian possessions ; on the E. by N. Brunswick and the Atlantic Ocean; on the S. by
the Gulf of Mexico ; and on the W. by the Pacific Ocean. Its general length E.
and W. is 3000 miles; its breadth N. and S., from the Lake of the Woods to the S.
point of Florida, is 1700 miles. Commencing at Passamaquoddy Bay, and tra
cing the whole outline of the U. S., we have the following result :
Miles.
From Passamaquoddy Bay to the S. end of Florida 1900
From the S. end of Florida to the mouth of Sabine river 1300
From the mouth of the Sabine along the southern boundary to the
Pacific Ocean 2500
Along the Pacific coast to the N. W. corner 900
From the N. W. corner, along the northern boundary to Passama
quoddy Bay 3600
Entire outline 10,200 miles.
HISTORY.
The settlement and early history of each state are given in their respective places.
The first settlement by the English was in 1607. From that period to 1775, the col
onies were under the government of Great Britain. On the 4th of July, 1776, the
American Congress at Philadelphia, composed of the Delegates from the 13 original
states, declared their Independence. These states united under articles of Confed
eration in Nov. 15, 1777, and continued under them through the struggle of the
Revolution, and until the year 1787, when the present Constitution (since amended)
was adopted. The 13 states which adopted the Constitution were New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, N. Carolina, S. Carolina, and Georgia.
The original cause of the disaffection of the colonies towards Great Britain was
her attempt to tax them without their consent or representation in the British Parlia
ment. The effects were more openly manifested, on the imposition of the Stamp
Act in 1765, and in the duty on tea. The Colonists determined to resist the importa
tion of teas under this duty. Accordingly, a number of persons collected together,
and proceeded to some ships that lay at the Boston wharves, and threw their car
goes of tea overboard. The British ministry determined to punish this aggression
by shutting up the port of Boston, and garrisoning the town with troops. The
exasperation of the people on this intelligence led to a Congress of delegates of
the Colonies, who assembled in Philadelphia to consider the best means of redress.
At this momentous period the battle of Lexington was fought between the British
troops and the undisciplined and half-armed inhabitants, near Boston. This was
the first blood that was spilt and the effect throughout the country was electric.
It was a signal for a general burst of indignation, and a determination to resist.
The war of the Revolution followed, which gave birth to a nation, and established

those principles of civil and religious liberty which elevate man to the just standard
of his natural rights. After a long and arduous struggle, in which every privation,
hardship, and sacrifice, was endured by the American armies and people, and the
wisdom, fortitude, and perseverance of Washington were so signally exemplified ;
the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, put an end to the war.
In 1783, a treaty of peace was signed, by which Great Britain acknowledged the
Independence of the United States.
SURFACE AND CLIMATE.
The vast territory of the U. States presents a great variety of surface, with two
great ranges of mountains stretching generally in a northeasterly and southwesterly
direction, and dividing the country into three unequal divisions. The Rocky Moun
tains are the highest, and connect with the Cordilleras Range of Mexico ; commen
cing at the Isthmus of Darien, and reaching to the Arctic Ocean, a distance of 5000
miles. The other principal range is the Appalachian, including the Alleghany
Mountains, which reaches along the Atlantic states about 1800 miles. The lesser
ranges are the Green, Ozark, and White Mountains.
There is a great diversity in the climate, from the extreme cold of the northern
winters to the bland and mild perpetual summers of the south. There are also great
and sudden changes in the temperature of the weather. The climate has much im-
r, and will probably undergo still further
leajthy, except in some of the southern
states in the summer months.
proved since the early settlement of the country, and will probably undergo still further
changes for the better. But it is generally hei

SOIL AND PRODUCTIONS.
While the country presents the greatest variety of soil, it abounds in vast tracts
of inexhaustible fertility, particularly in the south and west. The Atlantic border,
and the N. England states generally, are in a high state of cultivation, but are less
productive in grain than the country west of the Alleghanies. More particular de
scriptions of the soil are given under the heads of the respective states.
The productions of the country are almost as various as the soil. The great sta
ples are cotton, wheat, rye, Indian corn, sugar, rice, tobacco, and wool. All kinds
of vegetables, and nearly every description of fruits, are produced in the greatest
abundance. There is perhaps no country in the world so bountifully blessed by the
Creator with the necessaries of life, and the means of universal happiness.
LAKES, RIVERS, BAYS, &c.
The principal lakes are Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, Ontario, St. Clair, and
Champtain.
The principal rivers are the Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Columbia or Ore
n, Red, Kanzas, Lewis, Clark, Yellow Stone, Canadian, Ohio, Tennessee, Ala
ma, Appalachicola, Connecticut; Des Moines, Cumberland, James, Gt. Pedee,
Illinois, Multomah, Mobile, Susquehannah, Platte, Wabash, St. Peters, Washita,

Pearl, Osage, Kentucky, Hudson, Wisconsin, Green, Gt. Kannawha, Delaware,
Coosa, Chattahooche, Cape Fear, Alleghany, and Altamaha.
The principal bays are the Chesapeake, Delaware, New York, Massachusetts,
Cape Cod, Narragansett, Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Buzzards, Mobile, Pensacola,
Tampa, and Appalachicola.
The principal sounds are Long Island, Albemarle, and Pamlico.
The most prominent capes are Cape Ann, Cod. May, Henlopen, Charles, Henry,
Hatteras, Look Out, Fear, Canaveral, Florida, Sable, St. Bias, Sandy Hook, and
Montauk Ft.
MINERALS.
Gold is found in N. Carolina, S. Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia. Iron abounds
in nearly every state in the Union. Extensive coal beds are found abundantly in
several states, but are worked chiefly in Pennsylvania. Lead is found in great abun
dance; the greatest supply of which is received from the mines of Missouri. Salt
springs and lakes abound in various parts of the U. States. Those in N. York
produce annually a large supply of salt.
UNITED STATES.
AGRICULTURE.
Of the great staples, already mentioned, cotton holds a distinguished place. In
1789, but one million pounds of cotton were raised in the U. States.

MANUFACTURES.
The value of manufactures of the U. States, in 1810, was estimated at $172,762,
876. In 1836, the value is estimated at $600,000,000. In Massachusetts alone at
$100,000,000. The great depression of the times has materially diminished this
amount for the year 1837. Two thirds of the clothing worn by the agricultural
population in the Eastern, Middle, and Western States, are the products of domestic
manufacture. The greatest amount of any single manufacture is from cotton, which
reached in 1835 to near 100 millions of pounds ; valued at 48 millions of dollars.
85 millions of dollars are invested in cotton manufactures and it is estimated that
the capital vested in all the manufactories of the U. States is about 1000 millions of
dollars.
COMMERCE.
The commerce of the U. States is second only to that of Great Britain. The fol
lowing table of the value of imports and exports for several periods, exhibits the
increase since 1790.

In 1837, the imports amounted to $140,852,980, being $49,127,055 less than the
preceding year. The exports for 1837, amounted to $116,906,060, of which
$95,183,199 were domestic, and $21,722,861 foreign goods. The exports were less
than the preceding year, by $11,733,481 domestic, and $23,499 foreign.
The total amount of American tonnage in 1836, was 1,369,580 of which 404,8.14
belonged to N. York ; 226,779 to Boston ; 91,905 to Philadelphia ; 81,710 to N. Or
leans ; 81,252 to N. Bedford ; and 62,365 to Baltimore.
FISHERIES.
Nearly all the fisheries are carried on from the N. England states. The most im
portant are the cod fishery, whale, mackeral, and herring. The value of fish,
oil, and sperm candles, exported for the year ending Sept. 30, 1836, was $2,666,058.
(JENEKAL VIEW OF THE
PUBLIC LANDS.
These lands consist of territory that belonged to the U. States at the time of their
independence, of tracts ceded to the General Government by the several states, and
of lands acquired by treaty or purchase. A large quantity of this land is occupied
by Indians, who are considered the proprietors until their title is extinguished by
purchase. Much difficulty existed after the Revolution in adjusting the various
conflicting claims of several of the states to the large region of territory lying west
and northwest of Ohio river. They were finally settled, however, by the states of
N. York, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, ceding their claims to the Gen
eral Government. Connecticut retained a portion of the territory (called the Con
necticut Reserve, now belonging to Ohio) until 1800, from which was laid the
foundation of her School Fund.
Out of the above territory, the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and
the Ter. of Wisconsin were formed. S. Carolina relinquished her claims in 1787 ;
N. Carolina, in 1789, to the territory now forming the state of Tennessee ; and
finally, in 1802, Georgia ceded to the General Government the region now forming
the states of Alabama and Mississppi. The vast tract west of the Mississippi,
and extending to the Pacific Ocean, comprehended under the name of Louisiana,
was purchased of France, in 1803, for 15.000,000 dollars : and Florida, of Spain,
in 1819.
In 1800, Congress passed an act to provide for the survey and sale of the public
lands, which was the foundation of the present system. In 1812, the Land Office
was established. Surveys are made by contract, under the direction of the General
Lanu Office, through the Surveyor General.
The public sales of land are made by auction ; but large quantities are sold by
private entry. Settlers who have already occupied land without a legal title, are
en:itled to a pre-emption right of purchase.
The public lands are divided into Districts, in each of which is a Land Office,
under the superintendence of a Register of the Land Office, and a Receiver of Pub
lic Monies.
The surveys are based upon a series of true meridians, and all the surveys are
made to correspond with these lines. The land is divided into townships, 6 miles
square, and these into 36 sections, of one square mile each, or 640 acres. These sec
tions are subdivided into quarter sections, of 160 acres each, and half-quarter sec
tions, of 80 acres each.
Previous to 1820, the sales were on credit, and the minimum price was $2 00
per acre. But the speculations and difficulties arising from credit sales, induced
Congress in that year to pass an act, establishing all sales to be made for cash, and
reducing the minimum price of the land to $1 25 per acre, at which it still remains.
As stated in the article Education, one section of 640 acres in each township is
reserved for the support of common schools. Five per cent, also of the sales is re
served, three-fifths of which are to be expended by Congress in making roads in
the state where the land is located, and the other two-fifths for the encouragement
of learning.
The total quantity of public lands surveyed up to Sept. 1, 1835, was 166,897,082
acres ; the whole quantity sold was 44,499,620 acres ; the nett payments into the
treasury (after deducting expenses) $58,619,523.
The following table exhibits the lands sold at certain periods, their annual aver
age, and the nett receipts into the treasury therefrom.

In 1836, the sales amounted to the extraordinary sum of $24,000.000 ; and in 1837
they had fallen to $7,004,538.
The population of the new states and territories, formed out of the public do
main, increased from 1800 to 1830, from less than 60.000 to more than 2,300,000,
and since the latter period to 3,500,000 : embracing nine states furnishing one third
of the U. S. Senate, and one sixth of the members of the* House of Representatives.
UNITED STATES.
Since 1820, the public lands have only produced 6 cents an acre over the minimum
government price.
BANKS.
The first bank which was established in this country was the Bank of North
America. It owed its origin to the celebrated Robert Morris. It was first charter
ed by Congress at Philadelphia, in 1781.
In 1792, there were 12 banks ; in 1811, 89; in 1815, 208; in 1816,246. ; in 1820, 308;
in 1830, 330; in 1836, 567; on the 1st Jan.. 1837, 633; 1st July, 1837, 000.

The amount of specie in the U. States in 1833, was estimated by the Secretary
of the Treasury at $29,000,000. In 1836, at $73,000,000.
The first United States Bank was incorporated during Washington s administra
tion, in Feb. 1791. The term limited by the charter expired on the 4th of March, 1811
Congress refusing to renew the charter. Its capital was 10,000,000, divided into
25,000 shares of $400 each. Government held shares to the amount of $2,000,000.
The late Bank of the U. States was chartered under Madison s administration,
On the 10th of April, 1816, to continue for 20 years. Its capital was $35,000,000,
of which government held $7,000,000. Its charter expired in 1836. Congress pre
viously passed an act renewing the charter, which was vetoed by Gen. Jackson. A
new charter was then obtained of the state of Pennsylvania.
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES.
The revenue of the U. States is chiefly derived from customs and public lands.
For the years 1833, 1834, 1835, 1836, the annual receipts averaged $34,713,000.
The expenditures for the same years averaged, annually, $24,467,000, including a
total of $7, 740,000 on account of public debt.
The surplus revenue remaining in the the treasury on the 1st January, 1837, (re
serving 5,000,000,) was $37,468,859. By an act of Congress, passed June 23, 1836,
this surplus was directed to be deposited with the several states in quarterly instal
ments, according to the number of their electoral votes, to commence Jan. 1. 1837.
The 1st, 2d, and 3d deposits were made; but the last instalment was postponed, by
act of Congress, in consequence of the deficiency of the revenue, arising from the
great commercial distress of 1837. The amount actually distributed was $28,101,645.
The receipts for the year 1837 (including the issue of several millions in Treasury
notes) amounted to $23,499,000. Expenditures $35,281,000.
PUBLIC DEBT.
The last of the public debt was paid in 1835 ; when the U. States presented the
only example on earth of a government entirely free from debt. The public debt
of the U. States originated in the struggle of the Revolution, and presented the
largest amount about the close of the war in 1816 being then $127,334.933. The
following table exhibits the debt at different periods, from the close of the Revolu
tionary War to its final extinction.

10 GENERAL VIEW OF THE
MINT.
The Mint was established in Philadelphia in 1792. Branch mints have recently
been established at New Orleans, Charlotte, N. C., and Dahlonega, Ga. The total
amount of coinage from 1792 to 1836 inclusive, is, of gold $22 102035; of silver
$46,739,182 ; of copper $740,331 ; total, $69,581,548. For four years the coinage
was as follows:
In 1833, value $3,765,710 In 1835, value $5 668 667
1834, " 7,388,423 1836, 7,764^900
In the preceding years, there was deposited in gold for coinage from the U. States
mines, $2,931,500, viz.: In 1833, $868,000; in 1834, $898,000; in 1835, $698,500:
1836, $467,000.

the genius and economy of her republican institutions, it has not been thought ne
cessary, nor politic, to sustain a large standing army. According to official re
ports the regular army, on the 30th Nov., 1836, amounted to 7,958, organized as
follows:
General Staff 14
Medical Department 76
Pay department 18
Purchasing Department
Corps of Engineers 22
Topographical Department 10
Ordnance Department 308
Two Regiments of Dragoons 1,498
Four Regiments of Artillery 2,180
Seven Regiments of Infantry 3,829
Total 7,958
There are two great Military Divisions, divided by a line commencing at the
mouth of the Mississippi, following up that river to CassviHe, in Wisconsin Ter
ritory, thence north to the boundary line between the U. States and Canada. All
west of that line is called the Western Division ; and all east of it, the Eastern Di
vision.
The total number of militia in the U. States, as given in an official report, dated
Nov., 1836, is 1,326, 821. The militia comprises all able bodied white males be
tween the ages of 18 and 45 ; and when called into actual service, they receive the
same pay as the army.
NAVY.
The American navy, though small in point of numbers, is formidable in its
power, and very efficient in its organization and discipline. It consisted in 1837,
finished aud on the stocks, of
11 ships of 74* guns.
1 do. 64 "
14 do. 44 "
2 ships of 24 guns.
13 do. 18 "
6 do. 12 "
2 do. 36 "
Total 49
And several smaller vessels.
The navy contains 50 Captains; 48 Masters Commandant ; 296 Lieutenants;
50 Surgeons; 14 Passed Assistant Surgeons ; 43 Assistant Surgeons ; 41 Pursers ;
9 Chaplains; 198 Passed Midshipmen; 256 Midshipmen; 27 Sailing Masters;
19 Boatswains; 20 Gunners; 19 Carpenters ; 19 Sail Makers.
POST OFFICE.
The first Post in the U. States was established in New York in 1710. In 1789,
at the adoption of the Federal Constitution, the whole management of the Posts
was conferred on Congress; There were then only 75 post offices in the U. States
there are now (1838) about 12,300.
The following table will exhibit the extraordinary increase of this department
and also the rapid growth of the country.

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

All other denominations have about 300 societies or churches. There are esti
mated to be over 700,000 Catholics in the United States, who increase principally by
emigration from foreign countries. The proportion of the Catholic to the Protestant
population is as one to eighteen.
EDUCATION.
The general diffusion of knowledge has always been considered of great import
ance in a popular government. The U. States present an example of a free people
acting upon the principle, with slight exceptions, of universal suffrage. Every
white male citizen above 21 years of age, in most of the states, has a voice in the
choice of his rulers; which implies that every such citizen should be capable, to a
reasonable extent, of exercising that right with judgment and discretion. This
cannot be expected without a proper attention to the education of the whole mass of
the people. Nor can any republican institutions be safe without it.
The subject of popular education, therefore, has early received the favorable at
tention of several of the states, particularly the N. England states and N. York;
and now this attention is becoming more general and decided. Other states are
awakening up to its importance. Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan, have estab
lished excellent systems; and the gratifying prospect is presented, that in a short
time every state in the Union will have an efficient common school system, which
will embrace all the children of the land, under a course of good sound education.
The General Government of the U. States does nothing in aid of public instruc
tion, except to reserve for that purpose one section of the public land in every town
ship, being ,*, part, or one mile square, and also certain reservations for colleges.
These appropriations for common schools have already amounted to near nine mil
lions of acres ; and for colleges and academies to near Jive hundred thousand acres.
To the states, respectively, belong the duty of providing in a special manner for the
education of the young ; and these particular efforts will be noticed under the heads
of the individual states.
UNITED STATES. 13
The number of colleges founded in the U. States, up to 1838, is 98, but several of
them have not yet gone into operation. The number of volumes in the college li
braries, 280,000 ; the number in the students libraries, 130,000 ; total, 400,000.
The whole number of Instructors is 750
The whole number of Alumni 26,470
The whole number of Students, in 1837, 9,250
Of the above Alumni, 5,321 were graduates of Harvard University, Mas.; 4,485
of Yale Colle^, Ct. ; 2,183 of Princeton College, N. J.; 1,858 of Dartmouth Col
lege, N. H. ; 1,700 of Columbia College, N. Y. ; 1,600 of Union College, Schenec-
tady ; and 1,253 of Brown University, R. I.
There are thirty theological seminaries in the U. States and five theological de
partments connected with other colleges.
The number of Professors in 1837 was 84
The number of Theological Students 1,057
The number of volumes in library 72,500
According to the " Catholic Almanac" for 1837, the Catholics have 13 colleges;
12 ecclesiastical seminaries ; 23 female religious institutions; 37 female academies;
and 37 charitable institutions.
The Catholic ecclesiastical seminaries contain 84 students. The whole number
of Catholic colleges is thirteen. In eight of these (the number organized in 1837)
there were, instructors 130; students 995; volumes in libraries 50,000; whole num
ber of Alumni, 394.
There are 26 medical schools in the U. States, numbering 141 professors and
2,460 students.
PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
In a report to the Senate of the U. States, in 1836, by Mr. Preston of S. C., on
the expediency of purchasing the library of the late Count Boutourlin at Florence,
for the library of Congress, it is stated that all the libraries in the U. States
amount to about 400,000 volumes: of these there are 50,000 distinct works. Other,
and more recent authorities, founded upon particular examinations, give the num
ber as between 700,000 and 800,000 volumes, which is probably correct.
After the destruction of the library of Congress by the British in August, 1814,
:Government purchased Mr. Jefferson s library, consisting of 6,484 volumes for
$23,950. Since which, additional sums have been appropriated, making a total,
since 1814, of $99.950. The whole number of volumes in the library is 24,600.
Of the other public libraries in the U. States, the following are the largest:
Philadelphia, 44,000 vols. I Boston Atheneum, 29,000 vols.
Cambridge University, 42,000 | New York City, 25,000
Among other respectable libraries, the following deserve particular notice:
Charleston, S. C.; Andover Theol. Sem. ; Antiquarian Society, Worcester; N.
York Mercantile; N. York Apprentices; Baltimore and Georgetown College; aver
aging about 12,00(3 volumes each.
Although the libraries of the U. States are small compared with the magnificent
collections in Europe, which amount to an aggregate of 19,850.000 volumes (the
Paris Royal containing 700,000 ; Munich, 556,000; London, 244,000 volumes,) yet
when the age of the country is considered, and that libraries are always of slow
growth, their number and extent are certainly respectable.
GOVERNMENT.
The Government of the U. States is that of a confederated republic, in which all
power belongs to the people. The legislative power is vested in a Congress, com
posed of a Senate and House of Representatives. The Senate consists of two mem
bers from each state, chosen by the legislatures, respectively, for a period of six
years. The terms of service are so arranged, that one third of the whole Senate
is renewed every two years.
Every Senator must be at least 30 years of age, and have been 9 years a citizen.
The present number of Senators is 52.
14 GENERAL VIEW OF THE
The Senate has the sole power to try impeachments. The Vice President i
President of the Senate, and nas a casting vote only.
The House of Representatives is composed of members elected in the several
states by the peopb, for a term of two years. Each state is entitled, under a law
passed in 1832, to send one Representative for every 47,700 inhabitants. The
present number of members is 242, and two Delegates one from Wisconsin, and
one from Florida territory.
Every Representative must be at least 25 years of age, and have been 7 years a
citizen.
The pay of each member of Congress, during the session, is $8 per day, and $8
for every 20 miles travel, to and from the seat of government. The compensation
of the President of the Senate, pro lem., who is chosen in the absence of the Vice
President, and of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is $16 a day.
All bills for raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives.
No member of Congress can hold any office under the U. States at the same time.
Congress have power to lay and collect taxes provide for the common defence
and general welfare borrow money regulate commerce with foreign nations,
Among the states, and with the Indian tribes to establish uniform laws on natu
ralization and bankruptcies to coin money, regulate its value, and fix the standard
of weights and measures to establish post offices and post roads to grant patent
and copy-rights to constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court to define
and punish piracies and offences on the high seas, and against the law of nations
to declare war grant letters of marque and reprisal to raise and support armies
provide and maintain a navy to provide for calling forth the militia to execute
the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions to provide for
organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia (the states appointing the officers
thereof) to exercise exclusive legislation over the District of Columbia, forts, mag
azines, dock yards, &c., and to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into
execution the powers vested by the constitution in the Government of the U. States,
or in any department thereof.
The Executive power is vested in a President, who is chosen for four years, by
electors from from the different states, equal in number to the Senators and Repre
sentatives from each state. He must be a native citizen of the U. states, and not
under 35 years of age. He is a commander and chief of the army and navy, and
of the mihtia, when in actual service. His compensation is $25,000 a year. In case
of his death, resignation, or inability to act, the Vice President acts as President.
The President makes all treaties, with the concurrence of two thirds of the Sen
ate ; and appoints, with the consent of the Senate, ambassadors, judges of the Su
preme Court, and other officers, not otherwise appointed by law. He is eligible for
re-election, but the example of Washington in retiring to private life after a second
term, has established a precedent which has not since been departed from. The Presi
dent has a Cabinet, consisting of the heads of the different departments, viz., the Sec
retary of State, Treasury, War, Navy, Poatmaster General, and Attorney General.
The judicial power of the U. States is vested in a Supreme Court, composed of a
Chief Justice and six associates, which holds its session annnally at Washington
city, and a District Court in each state. There are also seven judicial Circuits, in
each of which a Circuit Court is held twice a year for each state in the Circuit, by
a Justice of the Supreme Court, and by a District Judge.
The judges hold their offices during good behaviour. The Supreme Court has
original jurisdiction in all cases relating to ambassadors and consuls and appellate
jurisdiction in all cases arising under the Constitution of the U. States in all ad
miralty cases in controversies between two states two citizens of different states
and between a state, or its citizens, and a foreign state or its subjects.
The state governments (26 in number) are founded upon the same general prin
ciples of popular rights that are adopted in the Constitution of the U. States. Each
state has guaranteed to it a republican form of government, and the state constitu
tions do not essentially differ in their forms from that of the Federal Government.
Each state is independent, and has exclusive legislation on all subjects not dele
gated to the General Government. Its whole domestic and local policy is, there
fore, by this admirable system, brought immediately under the control of its own
citizens, through their representatives.
The legislature of every state is now composed of two branches, Vermont hav
ing in 18o6 established a Senate.
UNITED STATES. J5
In 8 states, Senators are elected for 1 year ; in 4 states, for 2 years ; in 3 states,
for 3 years ; in 10 states, for four years ; and 1 state, (Maryland,) for 5 years. Irr
9 states, Representatives are elected for 2 years ; in all others, except Rhode Island,
which elects semi-annually, they are elected annnally.
Eight states elect their Governors for 1 year ; nine states, for 2 years ; four states,
for 3 years ; and five, for 4 years. The Governors of the territories of Florida and
Wisconsin are appointed by the President of the U. States and Senate.
In all states, except N. Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and S. Carolina, the Gov
ernor is elected by the people. In Louisiana, the legislature chooses one from the
two highest candidates voted for by the people.
Further details of the state governments are given in the description of the par
ticular states, in their proper places.
POPULATION.
The unexampled increase of population in the U. States, since the period of its
independence, is a decisive evidence of its growing and substantial prosperity. The

ARKANSAS, one of the Uni
ted States, bounded N. by Missouri, E.
by the Mississippi r. S. by Louisiana,
and W. by Mis souri Ter. Length from
N. to S. 245 m. mean breadth 213 ; area
about 52,185 m. Pop. 1833, 40,370 ; 1835,
58,134, of which about 6,000 are slaves.
Arkansas was settled in 1685 ; orga
nized into a Territorial government in
1819 ; and admitted as a state into the
Union in 1836. Arkansas is the principal
river, the other important rivers are the
White, Red, Washtta, Cache, and St.
Francis. The eastern part of the state is
level which gradually varies to the west
ward, where the Black or Ozark Moun
tains pass through the state. The soil is
fertile, and produces cotton, wheat, tobac
co, &c., with rich and extensive prairies.
Iron, lead and coal are found, and abun
dance of salt.
The shores of the Arkansas r. to Little
Rock, are considered unhealthy. The
level sections of the country are wet and
not easily drained. But the great prairie
and the smaller prairies in the upper parts
of the country are more healthy.
The Legislature meets every two years,
and is composed of a Senate of 17 mem
bers, and a H. of Representatives of 54
members.

West." It is not more distinguished for
the enterprise and munificence of its inha
bitants, than for their noble spirit in pro
moting the cause of learning and primary
education. Besides several respectable
colleges, institutes, lyceums, &c. the large
and commodious buildings erected for
common school instruction reflect the high
est credit upon the public spirit and bene
ficence of the inhabitants.
Many of the public buildings are very
beautiful ; among which the new edifice
for the Franklin and Lafayette Banks,
of the Grecian Doric order, resembling the
United States Bank at Philadelphia, stands
conspicuous. The spacious Court House
and United States Branch Bank building
deserve also to be noticed. There are also
many fine churches, 4 market houses, col
lege and literary buildings, and several
elegant hotels.
The commercial and manufacturing im
portance of this place is very great. The
exports for 1832 were estimated at $4,000,-
000, and for 1836 at $5,000,000. A large
number of steam engines are in operation,
in cotton and various other manufactories.
Various rail-roads, canals, and turnpike
roads, projected or in a course of construc
tion, are expected to add still greater fa
cilities of trade and wealth to this flour
ishing emporium.

at different periods marks its rapid histo

DELAWARE County, SE. part of
N. Y. Watered by Delaware r. hilly.
Pop. 1830, 33,024. Delhi, c. t.
DELAWARE R. a large and impor
tant r. rises in the state of New York,
Schoharie co. in the Cattskill Mountains,
forms part of the boundary between N.
Y. and Pa. and between Pa. and N. J.
and flows into Delaware Bay. It is about
300 m. long, and navigable for the largest
vessels to Philadelphia, and for steam
boats to Trenton Falls, 35 m. further.
DELAWARE Bay, between the states
of Delaware and New Jersey, near 20 m.
wide at its mouth, from Cape May to
Cape Henlopen. Within the latter cape,
a breakwater is constructed, forming a
safe artificial harbor for vessels in stormy
weather.
DELAWARE, one of the
United States, bounded N. by Pennsyl
vania ; E. by Delaware r. and Bay, and
the Atlantic ; and S. and W. by Mary
land. It is 93 m. long mean breadth 22
m. Area, 2,110 square m. or about 1,350,-
000 acres.
The general surface of the country is
level. The soil is a rich clay in the nor
thern parts of the state, and along the Dela
ware r. but in the extreme N. it is stony,
and becomes sandy on the sea coast. The
climate is mild and healthy.
Wheat is the principal production, from
which very beautiful white flour is pro
duced. Corn, rye, barley, and flax are
also raised in considerable quantities.
There are several important manufac
tories of cotton, wool, paper, and gun
powder in the neighborhood of Wilming
ton, and some of the largest grist mills m
the country.
The principal towns are Wilmington,
Dover, the state capital, and Newcastle.
The principal rivers are the Brandy-
wine and Christiana crs. which unite and
fall into the Delaware below Wilming
ton.
The state is divided into three counties,
which are subdivided into 24 hundreds.
Delaware has no college, but some very
respectable private academies, and a sys
tem of common schools, supported by the
interest of a fund, and a tax of equal
amount raised in the school districts.
The state was first settled at Fort Chris
tiana, on the creek of that name, by the
Swedes and Finns in 1G27. In 1655 the
colony was taken by the Dutch of New
York ; and after the conquest of New
York by the English, in 1664, it was an
nexed to that colony. In 1682, it was
granted, with Pennsylvania, to William
Penn. The colonies were separated in
1701, but remained under one governor
until 1776, when Delaware adopted a new
constitution.
Internal Improvements. The Chesa
peake <f- Delaware Canal connects Dela
ware r. with the head of Chesapeake Bay,
and lies principally in this state. It is 13f
DEL
m. long, 66 feet wide at the top, and 10
feet deep. It was commenced in 1824,
and finished in 1829, at a cost of $2,200,-
000.
The Newcastle tf* Frenchtown Rail
Road, extends from Newcastle, on the
Delaware r. to Frenchtown, on Elk r. It
is 16 1-5 m. long Was finished in 1832,
and cost $400,000.
The Wilmington <$- Susqn-e/iannah Rail
Road, extends from Wilmington to the
Susquehannah, opposite Havre de Grace,
and forms part of the line of rail road
communication between Philadelphia and
Baltimore. (See Maryland.)

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

FLO RIB A, the SE. Territory
of the United States, bounded N. by
Georgia and Alabama, E. by the Atlan
tic, W. and S. by the Gulf of Mexico and
| part of Alabama. It is usually divided,
in describing it, into East and West Flori
da. Lengtn, 360 m. breadth, 150 m.
The surface of the country generally is
flat, and a great portion of the soil in the
peninsula is wet, swampy and unfit for
cultivation.
In other parts there is a rich, produc
tive soil, and many excellent forests of
live oak and other timber.
The climate is hot and unhealthy, ex
cept between the months of October and
June, when it is very pleasant and healthy.
Florida was discovered by Ponce de
Leon, a Spaniard, in 1512, and settled by
the Spaniards in 1524, who were long and
obstinately opposed by the native Indians.
The country was subdued by De Soto, in
1539. In 1763, it was ceded by Spain to
Great Britain, in exchange for Havanna.
The Spaniards re-conquered it in 1781,
since which they held it until it was ceded
by Spain to the United States, in 1821.
Florida has been remarkable since that
period for two wars with the Seminoles.
The first broke out in 1818, and was soon
brought to a close by Gen. Jackson. The
second war has been more obstinate and
bloody,
Tallahassee, in W. Florida, is the seat
of government. The other principal towns
are St. Augustine and Pensacola.
The principal rivers are the St. Mary s,
St. John s, the Suwanee, the Apalachi-
cola and the Withlacouchee.

GEORGIA, one of the United
States, bounded N. by Tennessee and N.
Carolina, E. by South Carolina and the
Atlantic Ocean, S. by Florida, and W.
by Alabama. Its length N. toS. is about
280 m. breadth 250 square m. 58,500.
On the margin of the rivers and on the
sea coast, the country is generally low
and mirshy. The pine barrens extend
60 or 80 m. from the sea, beyond which
the country rises and undulates, with con
siderable elevations. In the interior the
land is strong and productive, and well
adapted to the cultivation of cotton, rice
and tobacco. Oranges, limes and figs are
also raised abundantly.
Considerable gold has been found in
the neighborhood of the Blue Ridge.
The climate is very healthy in winter,
but hot and subject to fevers in the sum
mer season.
The chief cities and towns are Savan
nah, Augusta, and Milledgeville, the cap
ital.
The university is situated at Athens,
and has a library of about 5,000 volumes.
There are over 100 schools in the state,
with a fund of $500,000 for their support.
Until recently, a large portion of the
NW. section of the state was occupied by
the Cherokee Indians, and of the W. part
by the Creeks, who have recently been
removed to the lands assigned them by
the United States W. of Arkansas.
The principal rivers are the Savannah,
the Altamaha, the Great Ogeechee, the
Chatahoochee, the Ockmulgee, the Oconee,
St. Mary s and Flint.
Georgia was the last settled of the At
lantic states. In 173-2, James Oglethorpe
and a body of emigrants founded Savan
nah. A representative assembly was first
established in 1 755. Previous to the revo
lution, the colonists were frequently har-
rassed by the Indians, and during the
revolution the country was often overrun
by the British.

ILLINOIS, one of the United

tory and Lake Michigan, E. by Indiana,
SE. by Kentucky, SW. by Missouri, and
NW. by Missouri Territory lying be
tween 37 and 42 30 N lat. and be
tween 10 25 and 14 30 W. long. Ex
treme length, 382 m. extreme width, 220
m. Area, 59,300 square m. or 37,952,000
acres.
In 1763, the territory embracing Illinois
was ceded to Great Britain by the French,
who first made settlements along the llli-
inois and Mississippi rs. as early as 1673.
ILL
135
IML
After the revolution, the country was held
by the state of Virginia, and ceded by
that state to the United Slates in 1787.
When the territory now forming the state
of Ohio was set apart, Indiana and Illi
nois were united. In 1809, they were or
ganized into two distinct territories ; and
in 1818, Illinois was admitted as a state
into the Union.
The surface of the state is generally
level, with a little inclination, and gently
undulating. In the southern part it is
more hilly, but without any consider
able elevations. The soil of a great por
tion of the state is extremely rich, and
has gained for it from some travellers the
appellation of the garden of America.
There are, however, some extensive plains
and prairies, whicn are scarce of timber
and pure water. Some of them are for a
portion of the year inundated with water.
But in general, these rich prairies are sus
ceptible of being drained at small expense,
which will undoubtedly take place as the
population becomes more dense, and
which will remove the danger of sickness
produced in such neighborhood by the
miasmi arising from the ponds and
swamps. Much of the prairie land is
quite dry. The "bottom" lands, which
are flooded at times, but on which the wa
ters do not stand, are inexhaustible in
fertility the soil reaching to a depth of
20 or 30 feet.
The principal productions are wheat
and maize, or Indian corn ; but other
grains, and also cotton, hemp and tobacco,
can be raised. Vegetables can be produ
ced abundantly. Over seventy millions
of pounds of lead have been produced
from 1821 to 1835, yielding to the U. S.
government six million pounds.
The population of the state has increas
ed very rapidly. In 1810, it was 12,282 ;
1820, 55,211 ; 1830, 157,575; and in 1835,
according to the state census, it was
285,799.
Principal rivers Illinois, Rock, Kas-
kaskia, Sangamon, Little Wabash, Fox
and Kankakee.
Vandalia is the capital of the state.
Internal Improvements. The state has
commenced an extensive system of inter
nal improvements. At the session of the
Legislature in 1837, an act was passed
appointing a Board of Commissioners of
Public Works, and appropriations to the
amount of $9,600,000 were authorized for
Various improvements, some of which are
as follows: A rail road from Cairo, near
the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi
rs. by way of Vandalia and Decatur, to
a point at or near the S. termination of
the Illinois and Michigan Canal, and
thence to Galena, $3,500,000. A rail road
from Cluincy, on the Mississippi r. by
way of Columbus, Meredosia, in Morgan
co. Springfield, Sangamon co. Danville,
in Vermilion co. to the state line, towards
Lafayette, la. $1,850,000. A rail road
from Alton to Mount Carmel. A rail
road from Alton to Shawneetown, to di
verge from the former at Edwardsville.
A rail road from Peoria to Warsaw, on
the Mississippi r.
A branch of the Central Rail Road, at
a point on a line from Shelbyville, Shelby
co. to Hillsboro , via Charleston, Coles
co. and Paris to the Indiana state line, in
the direction of Terre Haute.
A rail road from Lower Alton, via
Hillsboro , to the Central Rail Road, to
intersect the former rail road to Terre
Haute.
A rail road from Bloomington, McLean
co. to Mackinaw t. Tazewell co. with a
branch to Illinois r. to connect with the
Peoria and Warsaw Rail Road, and an
other branch to Pekin.
A rail road from Belleville, by way of
Lebanon, to intersect the rail road from
Alton to Mount Carmel.
Besides these, there are several rail
roads undertaken by private companies ;
among which are, a rail road from Jack
sonville to Augusta, 22 m. ; a rail road
from Chicago to Des Plaines, 12m.: a
rail road from St. Louis to the coal mines
at Bluffs, 6 m. ; a rail road from Naples
to Jacksonville.
The Illinois fy Michigan Canal ex
tends from Chicago, on Lake Michigan,
to Peru, on Illinois r. 100 m.
Besides these, liberal appropriations
have been made for improving the Wa
bash, Illinois, Rock, Little Wabash, and
Kaskaskia rs. and several public roads.
ILLINOIS R. a very important r.
whose northern source is Fox r. rising in
Wisconsin Territory, and its E. source
the Kankakee. When the Kankakee and
the R. des Plaines unite, they take the name
of Illinois. The comparative length of
the Illinois, including Fox r. is about 400
m. falling into the Mississippi 20m. above
with the Miss
its junction
tissouri. The
length of the Illinois proper is about
265 m. It is navigable, generally, for
210 in. and at high water as far as Otta
wa, about 220 m. The navigation of the
r. by steam and other vessels is consider
able and fast increasing.

INDIANA, one of the United
States, bounded N. by Michigan and the
Lake, E. by Ohio, S. by Kentucky, and
W. by Illinois. Its greatest length from
N. to S. is 275 m. by 145 m. in breadth,
and contains about 33,000 square m.
The surface of the country is generally
level, with occasional broken and uneven
sections, which, however, are more par
ticularly confined to the neighborhood
of the Ohio r. in the S. part of the
state. There are many prairies, some "
which are extensive, containing belts
good timber on the streams which cross
them.
The climate is similar to that of Ohio
and Illinois, and is generally healthy, ex
cept on the borders of Lake Michigan,
which are subject to heavy rains. The
winters are short, and not usually very
severe.
The soil is extremely rich and produc
tive. The prairies are beautiful and well
adapted to the growth of wheat and In
dian corn. But much of the country in
the N. part of the state is low, and too
wet for cultivation.
The principal rivers are the Ohio, which
forms the S. border of the state the Wa-
bash, White, White Water, Kankakee,
Salamanic and Mississinewa.
The chief towns are New Albany, Jef-
fersonville, Vincennes, Indianapolis, (the
late capital of the state,) and Springfield,
the present state capital.
Indiana College was founded in 1827,
and is located at Bloomington. The U.
S. granted two townships of land to this
college. The general subject of common
school education had not been much at
tended to, up to the year 1838, although
provided for in the constitution.
The population of the state has increas
ed very rapidly. In 1800, it was only
5,641 ; 1810, 24,520; 1820, 147,178: 1830,
343 ; 031.
Indiana was visited as early as 1703
by the French traders and soldiers from
Canada, and some small settlements were
made, particularly on the Wabash, among
which was Vincennes. The settlers lived
a long time in almost entire seclusion
from the rest of the world. The savages
frequently harassed them and broke up
their settlements. In 1763, the country
passed by treaty into the hands of the
English, but it was merely nominal. Be
fore 1800, Indiana was included in the
general territory NW. of the Ohio r. and
from 1800 to 1809, it was united in its
territorial government with Illinois. In
1816, it was admitted into the Union as a
state.
The settlers suffered so much from the
savages, that in 1811, Gen. Harrison was
sent against them with an armed force.
They encamped at Tippecanoe, near
Prophets town, where the Indians were
assembled to the number of 600 warriors.
After negotiation, in which the Indians
professed great friendship, they arose at
night and attacked the American camp
with horrid shouts and yells. The troops
were at first thrown into confusion, but
of were rallied, and succeeded in entirely de-
of feating the savages. Two hundred Ameri
cans fell in the battle.
Internal Improvements. The public
improvements now in progress in this
state are The \Vaba,sh tf* Erie Canal, to
connect Lake Erie at Toledo, on the Mau-
mee Bay, with the Wabash r. at Terre
Haute.
The Central Canal connects the Wa
bash and Erie Canal, at Peru, on the
Wabash r. with the Ohio r. atEvansville,
and is again connected with the Wabash
and Erie Canal at Terre Haute, by a
cross cut intersecting it at Point Com
merce, at the mouth of Eel r. 40$ m. long.
The While Water Canal is to connect
ambridge City, on the national road,
with the Ohio r. at Lawrenceburgh, 76 m.
A branch extends from the main canal at
Harrison to Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Madison tf Lafayette Rail Road>

(of which 22 m. are completed, from

In addition to these, two McAdamized
roads are in progress one from Jeffer-
sonville to Crawfordsville, connecting the
Ohio, opposite Louisville, with the Wa-
bash and Erie Canal 158 m. long; and

KENTUCKY R. rises in the Cumber
land Mountains, in the SE. part of Ky.
and flows NW. to the Ohio r. at Port
William, Gallatin co. It is navigable in
high water for steamboats to Frankfort,
the capital. Length, 325 m. This r. flows
through a rich agricultural country, con
taining coal, iron, salt and lumber, and a
population of 180,000.
.KENTUCKY, one of the Uni
ted States, is bounded N. by Indiana and
Ohio, E. by Virginia, S. by Tennessee,
and W. by Missouri and Illinois. Its
freatest length is 400 m. from E. to W.
ts mean breadth, N. and S. 140 m. with
an area of 40,600 square m. or about
26,000,000 acres.
The state originally formed part of Va.
and was first settled by the celebrated Col.
Daniel Boone, the backwoodsman, who
built a log hut, and established himself
with his family, in the midst of great dif
ficulties and discouragements, in 1769.
Lexington was founded in 1776. The
state was set apart from Va. in 1790, and
in 1792 it was admitted into the Union.
The citizens of Kentucky have always
been distinguished for their gallantry and
chivalry, which were particularly mani
fested in their enthusiasm to share in the
toil and glory of the late war of 1812.
The principal rivers are the Ohio, which
forms the whole northern boundary, the
Kentucky, Licking, Green, Cumberland,
Tennessee, Salt, and Big Sandy r. which
forms half of the E. boundary. The
Kentucky r. flows through a chasm of
limestone several hundred feet perpendicu
lar height.
The chief towns are Louisville, which
is the largest ; Lexington, which is the
oldest ; Maysville, and Frankfort, the
state capital.
The surface of the country is undula
ting and diversified, presenting but few
great elevations, except in the eastern part,
which is mountainous. A large portion
of the central section of the state is a rich
and most beautiful country, not surpassed
by any in the world. The soil
throughout the state is very fertile.
The climate is healthy and agreeable
the winters seldom lasting longer than
three months.
The whole country W. of the moun
tains rests on a bed of limestone from 8
to 10 feet below the surface. There are
many remarkable cavities, called " sink
holes," caused by the waters penetrating
through the limestone. Some of them are
60 feet deep, and 250 in circumference at
the top.
There are also a number of wonderful
caverns of great depth and extent. The
Mammoth Cave near Green River is the
most celebrated. It has been explored to
the extent of 15 m. without reaching the
termination.
Iron is found abundantly also cop
peras, lead and coal are found in different
parts of the state. Salt springs are nu
merous.
The principal agricultural productions
are wheat, hemp and tobacco. Indian
corn and cotton are also raised, and a
great variety of fruits.
A great trade is carried on by river
navigation, in the various agricultural
productions. A large number of fine
horses and cattle are also raised and trans
ported on flat boats down the rivers, or
driven across the mountains into the At
lantic states.
Of religious denominations, the Bap
tists are the most numerous. There are
KEY
147 KIN
also a large number of Presbyterians and
Methodists. The Catholics and Episco
palians are less numerous.
There are several colleges in this state,
viz: The Transylvanian University, at
Lexington; the Central College, at Dan
ville; Cumberland College, at Princeton;
a college at Augusta, and one at George
town. Also a Catholic Seminary, called
St. Joseph s College, at Bardstown. Com
mon school education has not yet received
that attention which its great importance
demands.

thence to Charleston, S. C.
Several other rail roads have been pro

The Kentucky River Navigation, in
tended to extend from its mouth to the
three forks, by means of dams, locks and
slack water. The latter for the distance
of 250 m. to admit steamboats of 150 tons
burden. The locks to be 175 feet long,
and 35 feet wide.
Green and Barren rs. are also to be
improved by means of dams and locks,

LOUISIANA, one of the Uni
ted States, bounded on toe N. by Arkan
sas and Mississippi, E. by Mississippi and
the Gulf of Mexico, S. by G. of Mexico,
and W. by Texas. Its greatest length,
E. and W. is 320 m. Its greatest breadth
N. and S. 270 m. and contains about
48,000 square miles.
In 1682, part of the country was ex
plored by La Salle, and called Louisiana-
after Louis XIV. He began a settlement
in 1684 at the Bay of St. Bernard on the
G. of Mexico about 300 m. W. of the
mouth of the Mississippi. The Missis
sippi r. had been already discovered in
1673 by two French missionaries, who
crossed from Quebec, by way of the
Lakes, to the Mississippi, and down the
r. to the mouth of the Arkansas.
A more permanent settlement was made
in 1699 : and in 1717, the city of New
Orleans was founded. In 1763, Louis
iana, which included Arkansas, Missouri,
and all the territory now in possession of
the United States W. of the Mississippi
r. was ceded by France to Spain, but
was not taken possession of by that pow
er until 1769. It was ceded back to
France in 1800; and in 1803 it was pur
chased by the U. States for 60,000,000
frnncs. or over 15,000,000 dollars. In
1812 Louisiana, as at present denned,
was admitted into the Union as a sove
reign State. In 1814 the State was in
vaded by a British army under Gen.
Packenham, which, after several indeci
sive actions, was completely repulsed
with great slaughter, by Gen. Jackson,
below New Orleans, Jan. 8, 1815.
Three-fourths of the surface of the state
may be considered an entire level divid
ed into swamps, prairies, alluvions, pine
forests, hickory and oak lands. The ele
vations are very slight, and are principally
LOU
163 LOU
if! the western section. Some of the prairies
are of vast extent, containing from 5,000
to 8,000 square m. The Attakapas and the
Opelousas prairies are the largest. They
contain rich pasture for cattle, and are
fringed with forests of pine on the N. and
S. Many spots exhibit beautiful fertile
plantations, on which cotton and indigo
are cultivated, and large herds of cattle
may be seen quietly grazing.
A great portion of the state, amounting
to 5,000,000 acres, is annually inundated
by the waters of the Mississippi. Part
of this soil is of the greatest fertility, and
is susceptible of being drained other
portions are composed of cypress swamps
and marshes.
Cotton is the great staple of the state,
but sugar is produced in great quantities
in the more elevated soil. Rice also is

TO A I BT IS, one of the U. States,
in the NE. part, is bounded N. and NW.
by Lower Canada, E. by New Brunswick,
S. by the Atlantic Ocean, and W. by
New Hampshire. It lies between 43 5
and 48 6 N. lat. and 66 49 and 71
W. long, from Greenwich.* Its greatest
length is 348 m greatest breadth, 180 m.
Area about 33,300 square m.
The country was originally granted to
the Council of Plymouth by James I. in
1606, who attempted a settlement at the
mouth of the Kennebeck r. which failed.
In 1624 the company granted it to Gorges
and Mason, under whom it was first per
manently settled in 1630. Massachusetts
purchased the territory of them, and in
1691 her charter embracing it was con
firmed. It remained a district of Massa
chusetts until 1820, when it became a
separate state, and was admitted into the
Union.
The surface of the country, though not
mountainous, presents some broken ridges
in continuation of the Appalachian range ;
and occasional elevations which rise sev
eral thousand feet. A range of high
lands enters the state from the N. part
of New Hampshire and runs parallel
with the St. Lawrence, continuing a north
erly and westerly course, intersecting the
N. and S. line which forms the E. boun
dary of Me. These are the highlands
which divide the waters which flow into
the St. Lawrence from those which flow
into the Atlantic. There are other con
siderable elevations in irregular groups,
of which the principal are the Katahdin,
White Cap, Saddleback, Ebeeme and
Spence Mountains. The Katahdin is
5,375 feet high ; several of the others are
from 3,500 to 4,000 feet above tide.
The winters are generally severe. The
ground is covered with snow in the inte-
The limits here given are according to the Ameri
can claim under the treaty of Ghent, describing the
boundary in these words : " From the north-west an
gle of Nova Scotia, viz : that angle which is formed
By a line drawn due north from the source of St. Croix
rivor to the highlands, along the said highlands which
divide those rivers that empty themselves into the St.
Lawrence from those that fall into the Atlantic Ocean
to the northwestemmost head of the Connecticut
river." This boundary ic now in dispute. The British
claim a line S. of the head waters of the Aroostook,
Allairash and S. branch of St. Johns beginning a
Mars-hill. The award of the King of the Netherlands
making the channel of St. Johns and St. Francis river*
the boundary, being a positive departure from the termi
of the treaty, ha* not been acceded to by the U. 3.

rior and southern parts for three or four
months in the year, and in the forests and
mountainous regions for five months.
The summers are hot, but not sufficiently
long for the favorable cultivation of Indian
corn, though a considerable quantity is
raised. The longest season of vegetation
is between the 20th April and 15th Oc
tober.
The soil is extremely various. Be-
Iween the rivers Kennebeck and Penob-
6cot it is very fertile, and favorable to the
growth of wheat and other grains. Along
the coast it is generally of a poorer quali
ty. The country abounds in timber,
which may be considered its chief pro
duction. Much of the land is well adapt
ed to grazing.
The principal lakes are the Moosehead,
50 m. long by 12 broad ; Umbago Lake,
(partly in N. H.) 18 m. long by 10 broad ;
Chesuncook Lake, 20 m. long by 3 broad,
and Sebago Pond, 12 m. long. The state
abounds in numerous smaller lakes and
ponds.
There are numerous islands on the
coast. The principal are Mount Desert,
Grand Menan, Deer Island and the Fox
Islands.
The principal bays are Penobscot, Pas-
samaquoddy, Frenchman s, Casco and
Portland harbor. There are many other
fine harbors favorable for commerce.
The chief rivers are the Penobscot,
Kennebeck, Androscoggin, Saco, St.
Johns and St. Croix. Abundance of fish
are taken all along the coast.
Iron abounds in many parts of the state,
and lead is found in small quantities.
Slate of a superior quality exists between
the Kennebeck and St. Johns rs. Marble
is found on the Penobscot, and good
building gratn te abounds in all parts of
the state. Lime is abundant in Waldo
and Lincoln* cos.
The principal towns are Portland, the
former capital, Hallowell, Augusta, the
present state capital, Bath, Brunswick,
York, Saco, Bangor, Waldoboro, Ma-
ehias, Wiscassei, Eastport and Kenne-
bunk.
The state has many respectable insti
tutions of learning. Bowdoin College,
at Brunswick, founded from lands grant
ed by Hon. James Bowdoin, in 1704,
and other lands from Massachusetts and
Maine. Waterville College, incorporated
in 1813. Bangor Theological Seminary.
Maine Wesleyan Seminary, at Readfield,
incorpoi "d in 1822. Gardiner Lyceum,
establish* u in 1822, to prepare young men
by a scientific education to become skilful
farmers and mechanics.
Besides these, there are about 35 incor
porated academies, aided by grants of
land from the state. The state has also
provided for common school instruction,
A sum equal to 40 cents for each inhabi
tant is raised bylaw in every town, to be
apportioned among the school districts.

land to Sebago Pond, 20 m. and has 26
lock&. It was completed in 1829. By
means of a lock in Songo r. it is united
with Brandy and Long Ponds, making
the whole water communication 50 m.
Total cost, near $250,000.
The Bangor cf- Orono.Rail Road, from
Bangor to Orono or Oldtown, 10 m. long,
completed in 1836. No other canal or
rail road is completed.
A rail road has been projected from the
coast of Maine to Quebec, and a recon-
noisance of three routes has been made
by Col. Long, of the United States Topo
graphical Engineers. The route from
Portland to Quebec, 277 m. is estimated
to coat $2,446,000. The route from- Wis-
casset to Quebec, 246 m. ; cost, $1,963,500.
The route from Belfast to Quebec, 227 m. ;
cost, $1,721,500. The last route is pro
nounced the most eligible.
A rail road has been projected from
Portland to Bangor, 132 m. long.
The Portland, Saco fy Portsmouth
Rail Road was incorporated in 1837, 48
m. long, designed to connect with the
Eastern Rail Road from Boston to Ports

Maryland was first explored by
Lord Baltimore, a Catholic, who visited
the country to form a settlement on ac
count of the persecution of that sect in
England. He died on his return to Eng
land, while preparing for emigration.
His son obtained the grant of the territo
ry, and named it Maryland, in honor of
Henrietta Maria, the Glueen of Charles I.
He appointed his brother, Leonard Cal-
vert, governor of the colony, who estab
lished a settlement in 1634, at St. Mary s,
on the Potomac. The Catholics were se
verely persecuted for some years after,
and the colonists experienced various
troubles, which were removed at the
restoration of Charles II. in 1660. The
Calvert family were a second time de
prived of the government, by William
and Mary, and Maryland continued a
royal government until 1716, when the
proprietor was again restored to his rights.
On the 14th of August, 1776, the consti
tution of the State was ratified.
The only mountains are alone: the N.
bank of the Potomac, where the Appala
chian ridge crosses a narrow strip of the
State. The rest of the State is generally
undulating and level.
There is much good land in the State,
adapted to the cultivation of wheat and
tobacco. The valleys in the W. part of
the State particularly, are extremely fer
tile and productive.
The climate is rather milder than that
of Pennsylvania, and somewhat warmer
in summer. The weather is liable to sud
den changes of heat and cold. In the
low lands, on the shores, it is subject to
intermittent fevers; but in the more ele
vated and undulating sections, the climate
is salubrious and healthy.
The principal rivers are the Potomac,
Susquehannah, Patuxent, Patapsco, and
the Severn, which fall into Chesapeake
Bay on the W. side. On the E. side are
Chester, Choptank and Nanticoke rs.
TheN. half of Chesapeake Bny pene
trates far into the interior, dividing the
State into two sections, called the Eastern
and Western shores. The principal
islands are Kent island, the Tangier
islands, and Assatiegue island.

The chief towns are Baltimore, the com
mercial metropolis-, Annapolis, and Fred-
ericktown.
Maryland, though not called a manu
facturing State, contains numerous man
ufactories of cotton, wool, copper, and
iron-rolling and flouring mills. Flour is
the great staple of the State ; and tobacco
is also produced in considerable quan-
tities.
Washington College, at Chestertown,
was instituted in 1782; St. John s College,
at Annapolis, was founded in 1784. The
Medical College was founded in Balti
more, 1807, and in 1812, was chartered
as the " University of Maryland" hav
ing added to it the faculties of Law and
Divinity. St. Mary s College at Balti
more, a Catholic institution, was founded
in 1799. The College at Mt. St. Mary,
near Emmitsburg, also Catholic, was
founded in 1830.

Internal Improvements. Two of the
most important improvements in the U.
States have been undertaken in Mary
land. The Chesapeake <f- Ohio Canal ,
and the Baltimore tf* Ohio Rail Road.
The Chesapeake fy Ohio Canal w&s
bartered by Virginia in 1824, confirmed
by Maryland and Congress, 1825, and
commenced in 1828. It is to extend from
the Potomac, near Georgetown, to Cum
berland on the Potomac; thence by Wills
cr. Youghiogeny and Monongahela rs;
to Piltsburg. Length 341J m. Distance
from Georgetown to the Pennsylvania
State line, 189 m. The original estimate
of cost was 822,375,000. A later esti
mate is $9,347,408. The State of Mary
land subscribes $3,000,000 for the work,
and the U. States Government $1,000,000.
The whole lockage required will be
3,215 feet. The locks are to be 100 feet
by 15. Breadth of the canal at the sur
face of the water, from 60 to 8B feet; at
the bottom, 50 feet ; depth from 6 to 7
feet. A tunnel is required through the
AHeghany mountains, at the summit level,
4 m. and 80 yards in length.
Port Deposit Canal, 10 m. long, along
the E. bank of the Susquehannah r. ex
tends from Port Deposit to the boundary
of the State designed to overcome the
rapids.

The Baltimore $ Ohio Kail Road,
was incorporated in 18 27, by the Legis
latures of Maryland, Virginia, and Penn
sylvania, commenced July 4, 1828 to
extend from Baltimore to the Ohio river,
about 360 m. $3,000,000 of the stock
have been subscribed by the State of Ma
ryland, and $3,000,000 by the city of Bal
timore. A considerable portion of the
road is completed and in operation.
The Baltimore fy Port Deposit R. Road,
.originally designed to connect with the
Oxford and Columbia rail roads to Phila
delphia extends from Baltimore to Ha
vre de Grace, 5 m. below Port Deposit ;
and from Baltimore 34J m. From a
point opposite to Havre de Grace, the
Wilmington & Susquehannah rail road
continues the route to the line between
Delaware and Pennsylvania. Thence the
Philadelphia & Baltimore rail road com
pletes the communication to Philadelphia.
The whole distance by this route is 93 m.
The route by way of the Oxford & Co
lumbia rail roads, would be 118 m. The
Oxford rail road is for the present sus
pended.
The Baltimore <$> Washington Rail
Road, 40 m. long, was completed in 1835.
The Baltimore <f Susquehannah Rail
Road, to extend from Baltimore to York,
Pa. 59 m. was begun in 1830, and
considerable progress has been made in
the sections within the State of Maryland.

Although Cabot, when he discovered
North America in 1497, sailed along the
coast of Massachusetts, yet no regular
discovery was made until 1602, when
Bartholomew Gosnold explored Cape Cod
and Buzzard s Bay. Capt. Smith, in
1614, explored the whole coast of Maine
and Massachusetts, to the S. extremity
of the bay. The flourishing descriptions
he gave of the country induced Charles
I. then Prince Charles, to call it New
England. No regular settlement, how
ever, was made until December 22d, 1620,
when the Puritans, to the number of 101,
emigrated to America on account of their
persecutions in England. They landed
at Plymouth, and established a republican
form of government, on the principles of
virtue and intelligence. Every child in
the community was to be instructed. Re
ligion was an object of special care with
the colonists, which extended even to the
privilege of voting being confined to the
church members. Other settlements were
soon made along the coast. Salem was
founded in 1627, and Boston in 1630.
The hardships and dangers of the early
settlers were very great. The first gene
ral court, consisting of 24 representatives
from the different settlements, was held in
1634. Previous to this, all the freemen
assembled from time to time for the trans
action of public business. Trial by jury
was now established. In 1643, a union
took place between all the New England
colonies. In 1664, the province of Maine
placed itself under the protection of Mas
sachusetts. The colonists suffered much
in a war with Philip, which broke out in
MAS 1
1675. The colony of Massachusetts Bay
and that of Plymouth, or the Old Colony,
were united by a royal charter in 1692.
The governors were appointed by the
king of England, who exercised the power
also of annulling the colonial laws. This
was the general condition of the colony
until the revolution, in 1776, in which
Massachusetts took a foremost and active
part. A state constitution was formed in
1780, which ,was revised in 1820, and
again revised and ratified in Nov. 1836.
A serious insurrection broke out in the
state in 1786, under Shays, which was
not quelled without great difficulty by the
troops and militia under Generals Lincoln
and Shepard.
The general surface of the country is
somewhat rough and uneven, without any
very considerable mountains. The Green
Mountain range of Vermont enters the
W. part of Massachusetts, which are here
called the Hoosacand Tagkannuc ridges.
Of the latter, the highest elevation is Sad
dle Mountain, in the N. part, near 4,000
feet high ; and Tagkannuc Mountain,
2,800 feet high. The Hoosac range is
less elevated, and divides the branches of
the Hoosac and Housatonic rs. The
other highest elevations are Wachusett
Mountain, in Worcester co. : Mount Hoi-
yoke and Mount Tom, in Hampshire co.
and Mount Toby, in Franklin co.
The chief rivers are the Connecticut
and its tributaries, Wcstfield, Deerfield,
Millers and Chickopee rs. ; the Merri-
mac, Housatonic, Hoosac, Gluinnebaug,
Pawtucket, Charles, Concord, Taunton
and Nashua rs. Of these, only two afford
much facility for navigation.
The principal bays are Massachusetts,
Cape Cod, Buzzards, Boston, Barnstable
and Plymouth Bays.
The principal islands, are Nantucket,
Martha s Vineyard and Elizabeth Islands.
The prominent capes are Cape Cod, Cape
Ann and Nahant.
The winters are occasionally severe,
but less so than formerly. Early in the
spring, the NE. winds are cold and disa
greeable, but the weather in May and
during the summer becomes settled, mild
and agreeable. The country assumes a
rich and beautiful appearance, the air is
pure and healthy, and art and nature seem
to vie in rendering the whole face of things
delightful to the eye.
The middle and western sections of the
state contain many beautiful, fertile tracts,
in a high state of cultivation. In the
southern and eastern parts the soil is
lighter, and on the coast there are occa
sional marshy and barren tracts.

The commerce of Massachusetts is ex
tensive, and second only to that of New
York. Much of the shipping is employed
in the mackerel, cod and whale fisheries.
The whale fishery is carried on chiefly
from Nantucket and New Bedford. This
adventurous business has been justly con
sidered as a nursery of skilful and enter
prising seamen.
This state is distinguished for her man
ufactures of every description. The most
considerable are those of cotton, woollens,
boots and shoes, leather, cordage, wrought
and cast iron, nails, hats, straw bonnets,
glass, paper, oil and salt. The most
extensive manufactories are situated in
Lowell, Waltham, Taunton, Fall River
and Amesbury.
The principal towns are Boston, Salem,
New Bedford, Gloucester, Nantucket,
Springfield, Lowell, Newburyport, Lynn,
Marblehead, Plymouth, Worcester, Fall
River, Northampton and Haverhill.
Massachusetts contains many excellent
literary institutions, among which are
Harvard University, at Cambridge, found
ed in 1638, principally from a donation
of John Harvard ; Williams College, at
Williamstown, founded in 1755; Am-
herst College, near Northampton, founded
in 1821; the Theological Seminary at
Andover, founded in 1807. Besides these,
there are numerous highly respectable in
corporated academies in the state.
Common school instruction is also lib
erally provided for all the children in the
state. The amount raised by tax in the
towns for common schools, according to
the report of 1837, was $391,993; by
voluntary contribution, $47,593 ; paid for
tuition in private schools and academies,
$326,642: total, $766,228. Sum appor
tioned by law from the school fund,
$19,002.
According to the revision of the con
stitution in 1836, the number of represen
tatives in the Legislature is reduced from
634 to 417. Each town or city having
300 ratable polls, may elect one represen
tative, and for every 450 in addition to
the first 300, one representative more.
Formerly one representative was chosen
for every 150 ratable polls, and one for
every additional 225.
Population at various periods : In 1790,
96,540; 1800, 422,845; 1810, 472,040;
1820, 523.287; 1830, 610,408; and in
1837, 701,331.
According to the returns of March,
1837, the number of paupers the preced
ing year was 5,580, of which 3,720 were
born in Massachusetts, 633 in other states,
and 1,192 in foreign countries.

land in the centre of the state divides the
streams which flow into Lake Michigan
from those which flow into Lakes Huron,
St. Clair, and Erie.
The climate is mild and pleasant, but
frequently subject to extremes of heat and
cold. The winters are less severe than
formerly, except in the northern parts.
The soil is exceedingly fertile produ
cing wheat, corn, and other grain, and
grass in great abundance. A considerable
portion of the country is rich prairie, inter
spersed with belts of beautiful woodland.
On the E. shore of Lake Michigan are
ranges of sand hills, which rise from 100
to 300 feet high blown up by the prevail

Internal Improvements. A number of
important rail roads have been projected,
and incorporated, some of which have
been commenced. In March, 1837, an act
was passed establishing a system of inter
nal improvement, under the direction of a
board of commissioners, and a loan of
$5,000,000 was authorized.
The board was directed to cause sur
veys to be made of the three following
rail roads across the state :
1. The Central Pail Road, to extend
from Detroit to the mouth of St. Josephs r.
2. The Southern Rail Road, to extend
from the navigable waters of the river
Raisin to New Buffalo, via Monroe.
3. The Northern Rail Road, to extend
from Palma, or the mouth of Black r: to
the navigable waters of Grand r. or to L.
Michigan.
The following rail roads have been pro
jected by incorporated companies :
The Gibraltar fy Clinton Rail Road.
Capital, $400,000.
The Detroit $ Shiawassee Rail Road.
Capital, $500,000.
The Detroit if- Maumee Rail Road, to
extend from Detroit to the river Maumee.
Capital, $500,000.
The Toledo fy Kalamazoo Rail Road,
to extend from the Toledo to the mouth of
the Kalamazoo.
Many other rail roads and canals have
been projected.
The legislature, in 1838, made appro
priations for internal improvements to the
amount of $1,050,000, as follows
For the Southern Rail Road, $350,000

rises in Orleans co.
Vt. enters L. Canada, again crosses into

The territory, in 1781, again fell into pos
session of Spain, by whom it was ceded
to the United States in 1798, It was or
ganized as a territory, including Ala
bama; and in December. 1817 r was ad
mitted into the Union as. a state.
The surface of the country in the S.
part is level, with some moderate eleva
tions in the SW. In the N. it \& gently
undulating. A portion of the state is
composed of pine barrens. The soil in
the S. part is thin, and in the neighbor
hood of the Mississippi it is generally in
undated by the overflowing of the river.
In the N. parts the soil is very fertile.
The climate is unhealthy in the low and
swampy lands, and in the S. parts of the
state, in the summer season. There are
no winters - r but ice is sometimes seen in
the N. parts.
The principal rivers are the Mississip
pi, Pascagoula, Pearl, Yazoo, Big Black,
arid branches of the Tombecbee.
The chief towns are Natchex, Monti-
cello, Warrenton, Vicksburg, and Jack
son, the capital.
The northern part of the state was oc
cupied until recently, by the Ghickasaw
and Choctaw Indians, which is now nil
organized into counties. The state con
tains in all 56 counties.
There are three colleges Jefferson Col
lege, at Washington, near Natchez, found
ed in 1802; Oakland College, founded in
1831 ; and Mississippi College, at Clintor-,

MISSISSIPPI R. for the extent of its
basin and commercial importance, and its
large and numerous tributaries, may be
justly considered the most important rivet-
in the world. Its extreme source, as dis
covered by Scoolcraft in 1832, is Itasca
Lake, a little SW. of Cr.ss Lake, 3,160
m. from its mouth, and 1.500 feet above
the level of the sea. The r. is navigable
to the Falls of St. Anthony. From these
falls to the mouth of the Missouri, the cur
rent averages about 2 m. an hour ; below
this it varies from 2 to 4 m. an hour. The
navigation is considerably obstructed by
sawyers and snags. The sawyers are
large trees which have been swept into the
current by the floods and the falling banks ;
their roots are at the bottom, and their tops
at the surface of the water. Snags are
trees which are fast on the bottom of the
river, and are dangerous at low water.
Many of these obstructions have been re
moved by government. Steam boats as
cend the river, with full cargoes, at the
rate of 7 or 8 m. an hour. They reach
Louisville from New Orleans, a distance
of about 1,600 m. in 8 or 10 days. For
merly, the time occupied in ascending the
river with keel boats, to the mouth of the
Ohio, 960 m. was from 7 to 8 weeks, and
frequently longer. The ascending navi
gation is now entirely confined to steam
boats, which has changed the whole as
pect of business in the west. The first

ders and its tributaries.
At the mouth of the Missouri, the Mis
sissippi is a mile and a half wide. Below
this, to the mouth of the Ohio, the aver
age width is three quarters of a mile. Its I Length of the Missouri proper, to its
average width thence to its mouth, does j mouth in the Mississippi, according to the
not exceed one mile. The annual flood j estimate of Lewis and Clarke, 3,100 m.
above the mouth of the Missouri com- lit is navigable from the Great Falls to the
mences generally in March, and subsides
about the last of May. Its medium height
is 15 feet. Below the mouth of the Ohio,
the medial height is 50 feet; the highest
rise, 60. At Baton Rouge it is about 30
feet, and at N. Orleans, 12. During the
flood the river, below the Ohio, overflows
its banks in many places for 20 or 30 miles.
The plantations of Louisiana are protect
ed by levees thrown up on the banks of
the nver,principaHy between Baton Rouge
and New Orleans. It is a remarkable
circumstance, that, notwithstanding tha
numerous large rivers which pour their
waters into the Mississippi, its width is
rather diminished than increased below
the mouth of the Missouri. Its peaceful
waters, however, are changed into a more
turbid and violent current, and its chan
nel is considerably deeper. At Donald-
sonville it is about 120 to 130 feet deep,
and at New Orleans about 100 feet. At
low water, above the mouth of the Ohio,
the channel is about 6 or 7 feet deep, and
above the mouth of the Missouri, to the
Des Moines rapids, it is about 4 or 5 feet.
The principal tributaries of the Missis
sippi, are the St. Peters, St. Croix, Chip-
pewa, Wisconsin, Des Moines, Illinois,
Missouri, Ohio, St Francis, White, Ar
kansas, and Red rivers.
MISSISSIPPI, Valley of the, compre
hends the vast region of country drained
by the Mississippi r. and its branches, be
tween the Alleghany and Rocky moun-
tains^-extending E. and W. from three to
five thousand miles. It abounds in soil
of unequalled fertility, and within the
states and organized territories, is rapidly
increasing in population. For a more par
ticular description, see the notices of the
several states and territories.
MISSOURI R. the main stream of the
Mississippi, and in connection with that
river, the longest in the world. Although
the course of discovery has established the
name of the Mississippi for the stream
below the junction, yet the Missouri is
much the longer, and is already a consid
erable river when it approaches and pass
es the sources of the Mississippi. The

sea, 4,392 m. The principal tributaries
are the Yellow Stone, Running Water,
Jacques, Platte, Kanzas, Grand and Osage
rivers. The springs which form the re
motest sources of the Oregon or Colum
bia r. and the Missouri, are within one
mile of each other. The Great Falls are
2,575 m. from the Mississippi, where the
river descends 355 feet in 18 m. The
principal falls, for grandeur and beauty,
are surpassed only by Niagara. The
river, which is here 840 feet wide, falls per-
pendiculary 96 feet. The pass through the
Rocky Mountains, 110 m. above the falls,
presents the wildest and sublimest scenery
imaginable. The rocks rise perpendicu
larly on each side of the river, from 1,000
to 1,200 feet, for a distance of 6 m. The
current of the Missouri is rapid, and more
difficult of ascent than the Mississippi.
From the Kanzas to the Mississippi, it
flows from 5 to 6 m. an hour ; and further
below it sometimes reaches 10 m. an hour.
The annual floods commence in March,
and the r. continues to rise and fall until
July, the highest being in June. The
whole course of the Missouri is within
the territory of the U. States.
1VXISSOUB.I, one of the United
States, is bounded N. by Iowa Territory,
E. by Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee,
and S. by Arkansas. Its medium length,
N. and S. is 282 m. ; E. and W. 200 m. ;
area, about 56,400 m.
The surface of this great state presents
the greatest variety of soil from barren,
swampy and rocky to extremely fertile.
Much of it is rich and productive, par
ticularly on the Missouri r. The climate
is mild and salubrious.
The principal rivers are the Missis
sippi, which forms the E. boundary, the
Missouri, Osage, Grand, Chariton, Gas
conade, Big Black, Maramec and St.
Francis. The chief town is St. Louis.
Jefferson City is the capital.
One of the greatest peculiarities in this
state is the immense lead mines, which
cover an area of 3,000 square m. which
have produced from 6 to 14 millions of
pounds of lead annually. Coal is also
found in abundance.
The principal agricultural productions
are wheat, corn, rye, oats, hemp, flax and
tobacco.
The principal religious denominations
are Baptists, Methodists and Presbyte
rians. There are also a considerable
number of Catholics.
Members of the Legislature are chosen
for two years. The governor for four
years, with a salary of $1,500.
There are six colleges in the state, viz:
The University of St. Louis, (Cath. ;) St.
Mary s, (Catholic;) Marion, at New Pal
myra; St. Charles, Columbia and Fay-
ette. In Marion College there is a theo
logical department. Provision is also
made bylaw for common school education.
Missouri was formerly part of the great
territory known by the name of Louisiana.
It became a state and was admitted into
the Union in 1820, after a severe struggle
in Congress on the question of receiving
it as a slave state.

New Hampshire was discovered by
Capt. Smith in 1614. In 1622 it was
granted by patent to John Mason, under
the name of Laconia. The first settle
ments were made in the following year,
at Dover and Portsmouth. In 1629, all | but 18 m. of sea coast, and one harbor
The first General Assembly convened at
Portsmouth, in 1680. In 1689 it was
again united to Massachusetts, and again
separated in 1692. From 1702 to 1741 it
was united to Massachusetts, when it be
came a separate government. During
the revolution, it was under a temporary
administration. In 1784 a new constitu
tion was adopted, which was amended in
1792.
The surface of the state within 20 or
30 m. of the seacoast is generally level.
In the N. and NW. parts it is hilly and
mountainous. The White Mountains,
in Coos co. are considerable elevations,
and the highest in the United States.
There are several elevations of this ridge
between the Connecticut and Merrimack
rs. the principal of which are Monad-
nock, Sunapee, Kearsarge, Mooshelock,
(or Moosehillock,) and Carrs Mountain.
Moosehillock is over 4,600 feet high.
The soil generally is fertile, and par
ticularly so along the rivers. The hills
afford pasturage for immense numbers of
cattle and sheep. Some of the valleys
are poor, but one side or the other is most
ly rich and productive. The climate is
less severe than in Maine. The rivers
are generally frozen in November, and
the earth is covered with snow, which
continues until April, and in the more
elevated and uncultivated sections, until
May. The summers are mild and salu
brious. Epidemics are seldom known.
Iron, copper, plumbago and soapstone are
found in this state. Beautiful granite
abounds near Concord, Hopkinton, Bos-
cawen and other places, and has given
this the appellation of the " granite state."
This state produces much excellent pine
timber, which grows here very high and
straight. The whole surface was origin
ally covered with forest trees of all varie
ties. Grain, pork, beef, butter and cheese
are produced, and much of the latter arti
cles exported.
The principal rivers are the Connecti
cut, which rises in the N. of the state, the
Merrimack and Piscataqua. The largest
lake is the Winnepiseogee. There are
some smaller lakes, such as Squam, Sun
apee and Ossipee. New Hampshire has
the territory, including lands purchased
of the Indians by Rev. John Wheelwright,
between the Merrimack and Piscataqua
and seaport, Portsmouth.
The principal towns are Portsmouth,
Concord, Dover, Exeter and Amherst.

Dartmouth College was established at
Hanover in 1770 ; Gilmanton Theological
Seminary, in 1835, at Gilmanton. Phil
lips Academy, at Exeter, was founded in
1781. The common schools are sup
ported in part by tax ; about one hun
dred thousand dollars a year is thus rais
ed, in addition to an income of 9 or
$10,000 from the Literary fund. There
are about 65,000 children in the state of a
fit age to attend school.

and other edifices, which, with the beauti
ful elms and shade trees, have a very strik
ing effect. This city is much admired for
its chaste and elegant appearance. The
state house is a splendid edifice, after the
model of the Parthenon. Yale College,
one of the oldest in the country, founded
in 1700, is located here. There are also
many very respectable male and female
seminaries. The coasting trade, particu

a settlement on the Delaware, but were
driven away by the Swedes and Dutch.
In 1655, the Dutch of New York con
quered the Swedes and sent them all back
to Europe. In 1664, the English took
possession of the country, and it was
granted to Lord Berkley and Sir George
Carteret, and was named New Jersey, in
compliment to the latter, who had been
governor of the Isle of Jersey. The
Dutch afterwards reconquered the whole
country, but soon restored it by treaty.
In 1676, it was divided into East and
West Jersey, which were reunited in
1702. In 1776 a constitution was adopt
ed. N. Jersey was ardently attached to
the principles of the revolution, and
among the first to accept the new consti
tution of the U. States.
The S. portion of the state is level and
sandy, rising towards the N. into moun
tainous ridges. There are many rich
valleys and sections highly productive of
wheat and corn, which are the staples.
Iron, copper and copperas are found in
various parts. An elevated range of
land on the Hudson r. commences above
Hoboken, and extends up the river for
20 or 30 m. forming a high perpendicular
wall of stone, called the Palisadoes. The
highest point is about 500 feet. The cli
mate is mild and healthy.
The principal rivers are the Hudson
on the E. and the Delaware on the W.
the Raritan, Passaic, and Hackensack.
Newark and Amboy are the principal
bays.
The chief towns are Newark, New
Brunswick, Paterson, Elizabethtown,
Trenton, the state capital, Burlington,
Bordentown, and Perth Amboy.
The principal manufactories are at
Paterson, Newark, Trenton, and Belle
ville.
The Legislature consists of a Council
and House of Assembly, chosen annu
ally. The Council is composed of one
member from each county, and the As
sembly of three from each county. The
Governor is elected annually by the legis
lature. His salary is $2,000.
The College of New Jersey, at Prince
ton, was founded in 1746 ; contains 12
instructors, 2,183 alumni, 240 students,
and 11,000 volumes in the two libraries.
Rutgers College, at New Brunswick, was
founded in 1770; has 6 instructors, 254
alumni, 93 students, and 6,500 volumes
in the libraries. The Theological Semina
ry of the Presbyterian church, at Princeton,
was founded in 1813 ; it has 5 professors,
130 students, and 7,000 volumes in the
library. The Seminary of the Dutch
Reformed church, at New Brunswick,
was founded in 1784; it has three pro
fessors, and 24 students. The system
for the regulation of common schools was
modified by the legislature at its session
in 1837-38, but it is still considered in
efficient in several particulars.

NE W Orleans, city and capital of the
state of La. is situated on the N. bank of
a bend in the Mississippi r. 105 m. above
its mouth, and 90 in a direct line. It was
laid out in 1717, and named after the Duke
of Orleans of France. At high water
the ground on which the city stands is
below the surface of the river, and is pro
tected from inundation by a bank called
the levee. The city and suburbs extend
about three miles along the river, and over
NEW 2
one-fourth of a mile back. Owing to the
spongy nature of the ground there are no
cellars. The streets are narrow, and the
houses are built chiefly in the French and
Spanish style. Among the public build
ings are a custom house, a town house,
hospital, U. S. mint, cathedral, market
house, a court house, an Ursuline convent,
and several churches and banks. This
city is the grent depot of the vast and
growing trade of the Mississippi r. The
great region of the Mississippi Valley
must ever continue to pour in its resources
to augment the business and wealth of
the place. The levee is constantly crowd
ed with ships and craft of all kinds; and
during the cotton season, immense quanti
ties of bales are piled up in the streets.
There are sometimes 1,500 flat bottom
boats in the harbor at a time. Steam
boats are constantly arriving and depart
ing, and 50 or 60 may often be seen to
gether. Half the population are French
and Spanish. The city is subject to en
demics every summer, which sweep off
many strangers; yet the population has
rapidly increased. In 1810, it contained
17,242; in 1820, 27,178; in 1830, 46,082
inhabitants. New Orleans was the capi
tal of the colony under the Spanish until
ceded to France in 1803, and by France
it was given up to the United States in
1803. Distance SW. from Washington,

The city, as laid out, embraces the whole
of Manhattan Island. Bounded by Hud
son, East, and Harlaem rs. and Spuyten
Duyvel cr. The compact built parts are
confined to the S. point, formed by the
junction of East and Hudson rs. The
first houses were built in 1621. The bay
affords one of the most beautiful harbors
in the world, 9 m. long by 4 broad, with
Long Island on the east, Staten Island
on the south, and New Jersey on the west
side, having an outlet to the ocean be
tween Staten and Long islands, called
the Narrows. The city is well protected
by forts at the Narrows and on Bedlows
and Governors islands.
The city was first settled by the Dutch,
in 1615, and called New Amsterdam. It
came into possession of the English, in
1664, who called it New York, in honor
of the Duke of York. The streets in the
lower part of the city are irregular, and
were formerly very narrow ; but within a
few years past great improvements have
been made, at immense expense, in widen
ing and straightening them. A great
portion of this section has been rebuilt,
with large commodious stores. The dis
astrous fire of Dec. 16, 1835, which de
stroyed property to the amount of about
$18,000,000, laid waste a large district of
the most valuable part of the city, which
has since been entirely rebuilt with ele
gant substantial fire-proof stores, with
granite fronts. In the west side of the
town the streets are more regular ; and
above Houston-street, they are regularly
laid out east and west, running, north of
12th street, from river to river, up to 155th
street, nearly the entire extent of the isl
and. These are intersected with wide
and beautiful avenues running north and
south. Broadway, which is the principal
street, is 80 feet wide and about 3 miles
long; contains many splendid stores and
private dwellings. It is the most public
promenade for the gay and fashionable,
and crowds of strangers from various
parts of the world. There are several
beautiful rides on the avenues and roads
leading to Harlaem, Yorkville, Bloom-
ingdale, and Manhattanville. There is
a rail road to Harlaem, through York
ville, affording a rapid and cheap convey
ance at all hours. Omnibuses are con
stantly passing through the principal
streets, from one end of the city to an
other.
Among the public buildings, the prin
cipal are the City Hall, Merchants Ex
change, Custom House, Hall of Justice,
Astor House, Holt s Hotel, University,
Columbia College, St. John s, St. Paul s,
and Trinity churches, the Tabernacle,
St. Patrick s Cathedral, and several other
splendid church edifices, newly erected in.
Duane and Grand streets, Broadway and
Lafayette-place. The City Hall stands
on the Park, which contains an area of
11 acres. The front of the building is of
white marble. It is 216 feet long, 105
broad, and 65 feet high in the centre. The
Hall of Record, east of the City Hall,
formerly a jail, is also a neat, chaste
building. In the rear, fronting on Cham
bers-street, is a range of buildings 260
feet long, formerly the Almshouse, now
NEW a
called the New York Institution, and oc
cupied for various purposes. The Mer
chants Exchange, now erecting, is to be
a magnificent structure, much larger than
the building destroyed at the great fire in
1835, occupying the entire front on Wall-
street, between William and Hanover.
The Custom House is a noble building domestic industry, in agriculture, manu-
of marble, on the corner of Wall, Nas
sau, and Pine streets. It is 177 feet long,
and 89 wide. Its model is the Parthenon.
The A stor Hotel is a plain massive build
ing of granite, 201 feet on Broadway, oc
cupying the whole front between Barclay
and Vesey streets, opposite the Park, 154
feet deep, and five stories high. It con
tains between 300 and 400 rooms. Its
height is 77 feet. The dining-room

Lyceum has a library and museum. The
N. Y. Society Library, founded in 1754 r
has above 20,000 volumes. It has recent
ly been united with the Athenaeum. The
American Institute, incorporated in 1829,
was established for the encouragement of
factures, and the arts. The Mechanics
Institute is somewhat similar in its de
sign. Both societies have annual exhibi
tions of specimens of American- indus
try. Tl> New York Hospital, in Broad
way, opposite Pearl-street , was founded
in 1771. It is supported, with its depen
dencies, by funds from the state, $22,500
a year; and other incomes amounting to
about $70,000 a year. The Lunatic Asy-

City of New York is a splendid buildin_
of white marble, in the Gothic or English
collegiate style of architecture, fronting
Washington-square. It is 180 feet by
100. The chapel in the centre receives
its light from a window 24 feet wide and
50 feet high. St. John s Chapel is an el
egant building, with a spire 240 feet high.
An elegant park belongs to this church,
occupying an entire square, opposite the
church. "St. Patrick s Cathedral is 120
feet long by 80 wide, and is the largest
church in the city. St. Paul s Church,
near the Park, is a fine building, with a
spire 234 feet high. Trinity Church is
one of the oldest in the city. It was first
built in 1G96, burned in 1776, and rebuilt
in 1778. The spire is 198 feet high.
The graveyard attached to the church
contains, according to authentic records,
160,000 bodies, exclusive of those buried
there during the revolutionary war. Holt s
Hotel occupies the corner on Fulton, Pearl,
and Water streets ; is of marble, seven
stories high. Columbia College is a fine
stone building. It was established in
1754, under the name of Kings College,
which it retained until the revolution.
The Penitentiary is situated on Black-
wells Island ; an extensive stone build-
this institution. The Almshouse estab
lishment, at Bellevue, on the East river,
embraces several large and commodious
buildings; and the Long Island Farms,
opposite Blackwells Island, where be
tween 600 and 700 poor children are sup
ported and educated. The Institution of
the Blind is one of the most interesting
among the benevolent institutions. It
was incorporated in 1831. According to
the report of 1838, the whole number of
pupils since the commencement was 77;
of whom 64 remained. The pupils are
taught music, and to read by raised let
ters, which they do with remarkable fa
cility. The are instructed also in the va
rious branches of arithmetic, geography,
grammar, &c., and several of the mechan
ical branches, such as basket-making,
carpet-weaving, &c. The state appropria
ted $12,000 towards the erection of a new
building, on condition that the institution
would raise $8,000 ; which has been done,
and the building, which is to be a very
elegant structure, is partly finished. The
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb is also
a highly meritorious cht rity, to which the
state appropriates annually about $17,500.
The number of pupils is between 140 and
150.
Its location is 3j miles from the

The public schools are justly the pride
of the city. They are 17 in number; the
buildings are large and convenient, two
stories high, with a basement. There
are also 28 primary schools, two African
public schools, and 6 primary African
schools ; the whole under the management

open for public resort except the Park.
New York is destined to continue, as
it now is, the commercial metropolis of
the Union. From its central position, its
proximity to the sea, and favored with a
harbor that can be entered at all seasons,
and an extensive inland trade by means
of its rivers, canals, and rail roads, its
great facilities for commerce are unrival
led in this country, and perhaps in the
world. The amount of duties paid into
this port for several years, is as follows:

Previous to the general banking law,
passed by the legislature in 1838, the
banking capital of the city amounted to
$16,61 1,200. Under that law, several
banking associations have been establish
ed with large capitals, including a branch
of the Pennsylvania Bank of the United
States.
The following table exhibits the valu
ation of real and personal estate, and of
the city taxes, for several periods :
actual attendance was about 10,000; t4ie
board of trustees are between 80 and 90
in number, divided into sections, one of
which is attached to each of the buildings.
The annual receipts from the Commis
sioners of the School Fund, are from
$85,000 to $90,000. Expenses for teachers
and monitors, about $50,000. Other ex
penses, including building, repairs, fix
tures, fuel, stationery, &c. $40,000. All
children have the privilege of attending
these schools free of charge, not as charity
or free schools, but as the common right
of all. The teachers are of the highest
character for moral worth and mental
qualification ; and all the branches of
English education are taught.
The city is governed by a mayor and
common council, consisting of a board of
aldermen, and a board of assistant alder
men. Each ward elects an alderman and
an assistant. The corporation owns a
large real estate, which is constantly in
creasing in value.
Besides the splendid lines of packets to
Europe, there is now a regular line of
steam packets just established between
this city and England, the average pas
sages of which are reduced to half the or
dinary time of the regular packet ships ;
forming a new and important era in steam
navigation.
The city at present is poorly supplied
with water. The principal supply is
from the Manhattan Works, and the
wells. The corporation have erected

between the Dutch and English in 1673,
New York fell into the hands of the
Dutch, but was restored to the English
the next year, by treaty. It now remain
ed a British colony until the revolution in
1776. During the wars with the French,
the northern parts of the colony were the
scenes of several bloody contests with the
French and savages of Canada. In 1790,
Vermont, which had before formed part

are from 3,000 to 3,800 feet above the
tide. In the N. part of the state is an
other elevated region called the Peruvian
mountains, among which are the sources
of the Hudson. Their highest summit
is near 3,000 feet.
The climate is varied by the extent of
surface embraced in this state. Along
the Hudson as far up as the Highlands,
and in the neighborhood of N. Y. city,
the climate partaking of the sea air, is
milder than in the interior, the winds
from the ENE. & SE. generally bringing
rain. In the N. parts of the state, above
the Highlands, the weather is more se
vere in winter, and snow lays longer.
The ice in the Hudson usually breaks up
about the 10th or 15th of March. The
climate in the middle and western section,
though a few degrees colder than in the
SE. part, is considerably less so than in
the elevated regions in the N. and E. parts
of the state.
The soil is generally diversified. Along
the valley of the Mohawk it is extremely
fertile, and productive of wheat. Ip^i

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

The state of New York, while making
such rapid advances in the improvement
of her physical condition, has not neglect
ed to provide liberally the means of edu
cation. And nothing is now needed but
a corresponding interest on the part of the
people, in behalf of their colleges and
schools, to give her a moral and mental
elevation corresponding with her com
manding destiny. The following is a
list of the colleges and theological semi
naries :
Columbia College, (Episcopalian,) in
New York, founded in 1754. Union, in
Schersectady, founded 1795. Hamilton,

two Albany Female Seminaries, stand de
servedly high,
A department has been established in
one academy in each of the eight Senate
Districts, for the education of common
school teachers. The number of students
in these departments was, in 1835, 108 :
in 1836, 218 ; in 1837, 284 ; at an ex
pense of $3,200, or $400 for each depart
ment.
The number of School Districts in the
state, reported by the superintendent in
Jan. 1838, for the year 1836, was 10,345,
from 9,718 of which reports were receiv
ed. The number of new districts formed
during the year was 138. The schools
were kept an average period of seven
months. Whole number of children be
tween the ages of 5 and 16 years, 536,882.
Whole number taught, 524,188. Amount
of public money distributed to the districts
in 1837, $342,811. Amount paid for
teachers wages besides public money,
$436,346. Of the public money raised
in 1836, $119,332 was received from the
state and local funds, and $216,562 was
raised by tax in the several towns.
A new school law was passed April
17, 1838, appropriating an additional an
nual sum of $110,000 to the common
schools ; also, $55,000 annually for three
years towards the purchase of a library
in each district. Each school is required
to be taught at least four months by an
inspected teacher.

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

NORTH CAROLINA,
one of the United States, bounded N. by
Virginia, E. by the Atlantic, S. by South
Carolina and Georgia, and W. by Ten
nessee. Its extreme length from E. to W.
(not including Cape Hatteras,) is 480 m.
Its extreme breadth, N. and S. 185 m.
Area about 50,000 square m.
The first attempt to colonize the Caro-
linas was made by the French in the reign
of Charles IX. from whom the name was
derived, which was defeated by the Span
iards. Sir Walter Raleigh visited the
country in 1584, and in the following year
another attempt to settle it was made, but
NOR 2
hp traces of the settlers were ever after
discovered, having been, in all probabili
ty, murdered by the Indians. In 1640,
several settlements were made by a num
ber of persons who left Virginia on ac
count of religious persecutions. In 1059,
a small colony from Massachusetts estab
lished themselves on the banks of Cape
Fear r. and left the country in 1663. At
this time other settlements were made, and
the plan of government afterwards adopt
ed by the colony embraced the scheme
of the celebrated John Locke. There
was an hereditary nobility, and the chief
magistrate was called the Palatine. The
plan was abandoned as impracticable in
1693. In 1717, the colony came under
the royal government, as the other colo
nies were, and remained so until the revo
lution. In 1729 it was separated from S.
Carolina, with which it had always been
united. The present constitution was
adopted in 1776, and amended in 1835.
The surface of the state in the E. sec
tion is an extensive plain, with consider
able swamps, and generally poor land, ex
cept on the margin of the rivers, which is
very fertile. In the middle section the
land is more hilly, and the W. limit is
marked by a range of the Appalachian
system, which take the names of Yellow,
Iron, Smoky and Unaka Mountains.
The Blue Ridge forms a parallel range,
from 15 to 35 m. E. The soil in the W.
part of the state is the most fertile, and
the country in general very beautiful.
The climate is temperate and healthy. In
the E. parts it is unhealthy in the summer
season, being subject to prevailing bilious
and intermittent fevers. The winters are
mild and agreeable.
Immense regions of the country are
covered with pitch pine, affording large
quantities of tar and turpentine for ex
port. Indian corn and other small grains
are raised in considerable quantities.
Cotton, rice and tobacco are also produc
ed. There are very few harbors on the
coast, and much of the trade finds its way
into Virginia and South Carolina. Lum
ber, grain, flour and provisions are arti
cles of export.
Iron ore abounds in many parts of the
state, but very little is done in manufac
turing it. The gold mines have attracted
great attention. The gold region embra
ces about 1,000 square miles. Part of the
gold is obtained by mining, and part by
washing the sand and gravel found in the
gullies and beds of creeks. In 1824, this
state furnished for the U. S mint, gold to
the value of $5,000; in 1825, $17,000;
in 1829, $134,000; in 1832, $458,000;
!2 NOR
in 1834, $380,000; in 1835, 8263,500;
in 1836, $148,100: total amount to 1836,
$2,465,000 besides which, large quanti
ties have been exported and otherwise dis
posed of. Since 1833 the quantity has
annually decreased.
There are a number of cotton manufac
tories, which are rapidly increasing. The
first in the state %vas established in 1818,
at the falls of Tar r. in Edgecombe co.
The principal rivers of the state are the
Roanoke, Chowan, Cape Fear, Pamlico,
Tar, Neuse and Yadkin.
The chief towns are Newbern, Fay-
etteville, Wilmington, and Raleigh, the
seat of government.
The principal sounds and bays are
Pamlico Sound and Albemarle Sound,
and Onslow and Raleigh bays. The
prominent capes are Fear, Lookout and
Hatteras.
The Legislature is composed of a Sen
ate of 50 members, and a House of Com
mons of 120 representatives, who are
chosen for two years. The Legislature
meets biennially. The governor is also
chosen for two years, and cannot hold his
office more than four years out of any
term of six years. His salary is $2,000.
There is a literary fund for the support
of common schools, consisting of swamp
lands, estimated at 1,500,000 acres, valu
ed at $1,000,000, to which has been added
from the U. S. surplus fund, $1,000,000,
and the future dividends from works of
internal improvement.
The colleges in the state are, the Uni
versity of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill,
founded in 1791, containing 8 instructors,
130 students, and 5,000 volumes in the
library. Davidson College, at Mecklen
burg, founded in 1837. Besides these,
there are the Episcopal School at Raleigh ;
Manual Labor School at Fayetteville ;
Manual Labor School at Wake Forest,
and the Female Seminary at Salem.
The population in 1790 was 393,950;
in 1800, 478,103; in 1810, 555,500; in
1820, 638,829; in 1830, 737,987, of whom
245,601 were slaves.

OHIO R. from which the state is nam
ed, is formed by the confluence of the Al
leghany and Monongahela at Pittsburg,
in the W. part of Pa. After a course of
908 m. it flows into the Mississippi. It*
; breadth varies from 400 to 1,400 yards.
j Below Cumberland r. its average width
is over a mile. At Cincinnati it is 800
yards, which is its mean breadth. The
elevation of the Ohio at Pittsburg is 678
feet, and at its junction with the Missis
sippi r. at low water, 283 having a fall
of 395 feet in its entire length. The cur
rent of the river is gentle, and varies from
two to four miles an hour. The only ob
struction in general to navigation is the
rapids at Louisville, where there is a ca
nal to avoid them. The river is naviga
ble for large steamboats half the year
through its entire course. Its lowest stage
is in September, and in March it is at its
highest. Its depth varies at the different
periods about fifty feet, and sometimes
rises 10 or 12 feet in a single night. The
Ohio flows through a fine, rich country,
and from the beauty of the stream was
called by the French discoverers " la belle
riviere.
OHIO, one of the United States,
bounded N. by Lake Erie and the state of
Michigan, E. by Pennsylvania and Vir
ginia, S. by Virginia and Kentucky, and
W. by Indiana. It is about 220 m. long
by 220 broad, contains 44,000 square m.
and returns 1G,400,000 acres for taxation.
The territory now forming the state,
OHI 2
\vas embraced in 1787 as part of the " ter
ritory northwest of the river Ohio." The
first settlers were 47 emigrants, under
Gen. Rufus Putnam and Rev. Menas-
seh Cutler, from the counties of Middle
sex and Essex, Mas. who established
themselves at Marietta, at the mouth of
Muskingum r. on the 7th of April, 1788.
The next year another settlement was
made on the Ohio, 6 m. above the site of
Cincinnati. The inhabitants were much
exposed to hostilities from the Indians for
a number of years, which were not effec
tually stopped until they were subdued by
Gen. Wayne in 1795. From this period
the settlement and prosperity of the terri
tory have been unexampled. In 1802, it
was admitted into the Union as an inde
pendent state, and in 1830 it was the fourth
state in population in the Union. In
1790, the population was 3,000; in 1800,
45,365 ; in 1810, 230,700 ; in 1820, 581,434 ;
in 1830, 935,872. Of this last number
there were deaf and dumb, 42G; blind,
232 ; free colored persons, 9,567.
The general surface of the state is re
markably level, exhibiting a moderate
elevation of table land, but no mountains
nor any considerable hills. The soil is
very fertile, and the greater portion of the
state fit for cultivation. Indian corn is
raised in great abundance, and may be
considered the staple. Hemp, flax and
tobacco can also be raised in considerable
quantities. Taken as a whole, there is
no section of country in the world per
haps equally productive. Coal and iron
nre abundant in the eastern parts of the
state. Marble is found in many places,
and salt springs are numerous. The cli
mate is generally mild, and warmer than
other parts of the country in the same
latitude. Except in the neighborhood of
the marshes and flats, it is very healthy.
OHI
extensive lines of canals, must always
secure to her enterprize a great and in
creasing commerce.
There are a number of large cotton and
woollen manufactories, and a great quan
tity of domestic goods are made.
The Legislature consists of a Senate
and House of Representatives. Senators
are chosen for two years, and representa
tives annually. The governor is elected
fqr two years. His salary is $1,000.
Among the institutions of learning are
the following : University of Ohio, at
Athens, founded 1821 ; has 2,000 volumes
in the library. Miami University, at
Oxford, founded 1824 ; 4,000 volumes in
the library. Franklin College, at New
Athens, founded 1825; 1,100 volumes in
the library. Western Reserve College,
at Hudson, founded 1826 ; 2,000 volumes
in the library. Kenyon College, at Gam-
bier, founded 1828; 2,300 volumes in the
library. Granville College, at Granville,
founded 1832 ; 3,000 vols. in the library.
Marietta College, at Marietta, founded
1832 ; 2,500 vols. in the library. Oberlin
Institute, at New Elyria ; Cincinnati Col
lege ; Woodward College, at Cincinnati,
and Willoughby University, at Chagrin.
There are theological departments in
Kenyon, Granville and Western Reserve
Colleges ; Lane Theolog. Seminary, and
a theological school at Columbus. There

PENNSYLVANIA, one
of the United States, bounded N. by New
York, E. by New Jersey, S. by Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia, and W. by Vir
ginia and Ohio. Greatest length E. and
W. 305 m. breadth, 160 m. containing
about 46,500 square m.
The territory was first settled by some
Swedes in 1628, which was afterwards
from all disturbances with the
which marked the early history of the
other colonies. In 1718, Penn died in
England, aged 74. The original charter
continued until after the revolution. In
1790, a constitution was established,
which continued until 1838, when a new
constitution was formed.
Most of the central part of the state is
mountainous. The Alleghanies, of the
Appalachian chain, extend in a number
of ridges in aNE. course the nearest on
the E. being about 150 to 170 miles from
the sea. They are known by various
names, the Kittatiny or Blue Mountains,
Tuscarora Mountains, Ragged Moun
tains, Great Warrior Mountain, Laurel
Hill and the Alleghany Mountains, which
are the highest elevations. Most of these
mountains are thickly covered with wood.
E. and W. of the mountain ranges, the
country is level or moderately undulating,
and the soil fertile and productive in wheat
and all kinds of grains and fruits.
The climate E. and W. of the moun
tains does not sensibly differ from that of
other sections in the same parallels of
latitude. In the mountainous regions,
the winters are colder, and the snow lays
longer and deeper.
The principal rivers are the Delaware,
Susquehannah, Alleghany, Monongahe-
la, Yioughiogeny, K-iskiminetas, Juniata,
Schuylkill and Lehigh.
The most important towns are Phila
delphia, Pittsburg, Lancaster, Reading,
Harrisburg, the capital, Easton, Bethie-
hem, Norristown, Columbia, Doylestown
and Germantown.
Pennsylvania is a great manufacturing
state. The principal manu factories are
in Philadelphia and Pittsburg and their
neighborhoods. The most extensive are
of cotton, wool, iron, glass and paper.
Salt is manufactured largely from springs
in the W. part of the state.
The foreign commerce of the state cen
tres nearly altogether at Philadelphia.
The value of imports is from $12,000,000
to $15,000,000 annually ; of exports, from
PEN
241
PEN
$4,000,000 to $5,000,000; the tonnage
about 100,000.
Anthracite coal abounds more exten
sively in this state than any other in the
Union. The coal region lies principally
among the mountains which run parallel
to the Blue Ridge, between that ridge and
the Susquehannah, and along the valleys
of the Wyoming and Lackawanna. The
valley of the anthracite region is about
60 miles long, and 5 to 6 broad. The
coal beds vary in thickness from 3 feet to
26, and are most extensive in the vicinity
of Mauch Chunk, on the Lehigh.
In the W. part of the state, bituminous
coal is equally abundant. It is found
along the Alleghany, Monongahela and
Conemaugh rs. and elsewhere. In the
neighborhood of Pittsburg it is very plen
tiful.
A committee of the Pennsylvania Le
gislature, in 1836, estimated the improve
ments connected with the anthracite coal
trade to be, canals and rail roads, 486
miles, $9,720,937 ; colliers boats, cars,
&c. $1,270,280; capital in coal lands,
$4,900,000; mining capital and value of
towns, $3,375,000: total, $19,166,217.
The bituminous coal lands are supposed
to comprehend 21,000 square miles, and
the anthracite 975 square miles. The
number of tons of anthracite coal shipped
from the Schuylkill, Lehigh and Lacka
wanna mines, from 1820 to 1835, was
2,498,024.
In the bituminous coal region are also
found many valuable salt springs, which,
by boring, produce a strong solution.
The Legislature is composed of a Sen
ate and House of Representatives. Sen
ators are chosen for four years, and the
representatives annually. The governor
is chosen for three years, and has a salary
of $4,000.
Among the institutions of learning are
the following: University oi Pennsyl
vania, at Philadelphia ; Carlisle College ;
Jefferson College, atCanonsburg ; Wash
ington College ; Allesrhany College, at
Meadville; Western University, at Pitts-
burg ; Pennsylvania College, at Gettys
burg ; Lafayette College, at Easton ;
Haddington College ; Marshall College,
at Mercersburg ; Medical Department in
the University of Pennsylvania; Med
ical Department, Jefferson College, Phila
delphia. Of the theological seminaries,
there are The Seminary of the Lutheran
Church of the U. S. at Gettysburg ; Ger
man Reformed, at York ; Western Theo
logical Seminary, at Alleghany ; Theo
logical School, at Canonsburg ; Theolo
gical Seminary, at Pittsburg.

The system of common schools embra
ces about 3,400 district schools, 3,500
teachers, and 150,000 scholars. The
whole number of children in the state be
tween 5 and 15 is about 330,000. About
$200,000 annually of public money is ap
propriated to the schools. The public
schools of Philadelphia are not includ
ed in the above. The state has a peni
tentiary at Philadelphia, and one at. Pitts
burg.

Internal Improvements. This state has
undertaken the most gigantic system of
internal improvement. She has already
upwards of 600 miles of state canals and
120 miles of rail roads in operation, which,
with those in course of construction, will
make, when completed, by the state and
incorporated companies, 1,192 miles of
canals, and 726 miles of rail roads all
undertaken since 1826 ; an achievement
that would reflect honor upon the enter-
prize of any nation in the world.
The Pennsylvania state canals and
rail roads consist of the following divis
ions : Columbia Rail Road, from Phila
delphia to Columbia, 8U miles ; Canal
eastern division, Columbia to Hollidays-
burg, 171? ; Alleghany Portage Rail
Road, Hollidaysburg to Johnstown, 36f ;
Canal western division, Johnstown to
Pittsburg, 105 : total, 395 miles.
The Beaver Canal extends from Bea
ver to New Castle, 25 miles long.
The Mahonning and Beaver Canal is
to extend from New Castle, Pa. to the
Ohio Canal at Akron, O.
The Pittsburg and Erie Canal, of which
the Beaver Canal is a section, is to extend
from Pittsburg to Lake Erie, 73i miles.
The following canals have been con
structed by incorporated companies :
Schuylkill, 108 miles ; cost $2,500,176.
Union Canal, 80 miles, and navigable
feeders, 24 miles total, 104 miles ; cost
$2,000,000.
Lehigh, 46| m. ; 53 m. cost $1,558,000.

PENN YAN, c. t. Yates co. N, Y. a
flourishing village, situated about three-
fourths of a mile below the foot of Crook
ed Lake, on the outlet, 16 m. SSW. of
Geneva, 22 m. SE. of Canandaigua, 30
m. N. of Bath, 185 m. W. of Albany,
and 314 m. N. of Washington City.
Lying in a valley, on a fine plat of ground
gently descending to the outlet, the ap
proach to the village on every side is very
beautiful. From the road on the E. par
ticularly, the prospect is exceedingly pic
turesque extending beyond the v. to the
waters of the lake, with the promontory
of Bluff Point rising on the W. and in
the still further distance the highlands of
Steuben. The singular name of the v.
originated in the fact that its founders
were a Pennsylvanian and a Yankee
the first syllable of each name being mu
ted. There were then only two or three
houses and a post office. The first post
master was Abraham Wagener, Esq. who
was the original founder, and the Penn
sylvanian above mentioned.
The village contains four churches a
Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist and
Episcopalian a new substantial court
house, with a portico and four doric col
umns, a jail, a bank, with a capital of
$100,000, an academy and several select
schools, two grist and two saw mills, two
printing offices, and two weekly papers.
The situation of Penn Yan, in the cen
tre of a beautiful agricultural county,
with no other town in the vicinity to share
its trade, ensures it a permanent and in
creasing prosperity. The outlet of the
lake, through its entire course of 7 miles
into Seneca Lake, affords a first rate wa
ter power, having a descent of 269 feet,
which is used for a large number of grist,
saw and fulling mills. The Crooked Lake
Canal, 8m. long, is constructed along the
outlet, and affords a communication- from
the v. through Seneca Lake and the Cayu-
ga & Seneca Canal, with the Erie Canal.

PHILADELPHIA County, in the
E. part of Pa. is bounded by Delaware,
Montgomery and Bucks cos. and Dela
ware r. containing an area of about 155
square m. Besides the city of Philadel
phia, the county contains several flourish
ing towns and settlements, viz: German-
town, Frankfort, Manayunk, Holmes-
burg, Bustletown, Hamilton & Mantua
villages. The S. part of the co. is level,
the N. part undulating and broken. Pop.

PHILADELPHIA City, Philadelphia
co. Pa. 93 m. NE. from Baltimore; 89
SW. from New York; 296 SW. from
Boston; 98 E. from Harrisburg, and 136
m. NE. from Washington City. N. lat.
39 56 51". W. Ion. 75 10 05" from
Greenwich. The city is handsomely laid
out on the W. bank of Delaware r. ex
tending 2 m. to the Schulykill, about 3 m.
along the Delaware, and about 5m. above
the confluence of those rivers.
Philadelphia was founded by William
Penn, in 1682, and chartered in 1701.
The streets of the city proper, (excluding
the Liberties,) are laid out at right angles,
generally about 50 feet wide and kept
remarkably clean. The houses are most
ly of brick, of a neat, and many of them
an elegant appearance. Among the pub
lic buildings are the United States Bank,
U. S. Mint, State House, Girard Bank,
Bank of Pennsylvania, and Pennsylva
nia Hospital. In, the vicinity are Girard s
College, the Alms House, and Naval Asy
lum. The U. S. Bank is a beautiful mar
ble structure, with 8 doric columns in front
and 8 in the rear built after the model of
the Parthenon. The Girard College is a
most magnificent building, of marble, sup
ported on all sides by Corinthian pillars.
Connected with it are two chaste and
commodious buildings, also of marble.
The Mint, the Exchange, Pennsylvania
Bank, Girard Bank, and Masonic Hall,
are also beautiful buildings. Religious,
benevolent, and literary institutions are
numerous. There are upwards of 100
houses for public worship. Among the
charitable and benevolent institutions are
the Asylums for orphans, deaf and dumb,
widows and lunatics, Humane Society,
and several Dispensaries. Among the
literary institutions are the University,
Philosophical Society, Athseneum, Frank
lin Institute, Academy of Natural Science,
Academy of Fine Arts, Medical Society,
College of Pharmacy, College of Physi
cians, &c. In the State House, which is
now occupied by the Courts, is the Hall
in which Congress sat when the Declara
tion of Independence was adopted. The
Arcade, a beautiful building, contains the
Philadelphia Museum, long known as
Peale s Museum. The Market Houses
in Market street, reach from Front to
Eighth streets. There are several other
markets in different parts of the town.
They are all kept clean, and are well sup
plied with all kinds of farming produce.
The public squares are beautifully adorn
ed with shade trees.
One of the greatest undertakings in
Philadelphia is the water works, on the
Schulykill, at Fair Mount. A dam is
thrown across the river, which affords
power sufficient for the machinery which
forces the water into large basins on the
top of the Mount, from which the city is
supplied by pipes laid in every street,
extending over 60 miles in length. The
entire cost, including the former works,
is about $1 : 500,000. The expense of the
works is only about $4 a day.
Philadelphia is a very extensive manu
facturing city. All the various branches
of mechanic industry are carried on with
great skill and perfection. Although en
joying an extensive commerce, its inland
position is not so favorable in this respect
as that of New York or Boston. For a
considerable part of the winter the Dela
ware is closed with ice.
Philadelphia is distinguished for its
PHI
246
PHI
seminaries of education and the literary
spirit of its inhabitants. Besides the pub
lic schools, which are the pride of the city,
private schools are numerous and of the
highest character. The Society of Friends,
who form a large and highly respectable
class of the inhabitants, are noted for their
attention to their schools and institutions
of learning and science. Their children
are educated particularly in the solid and
useful branches. The various benevolent
operations also owe much of their active
usefulness and energy to members of this
society. In the Philadelphia public and
primary schools there are annually taught
about 12,000 scholars.
The Philadelphia Library, founded by
Dr. Franklin, contains 45,000 volumes.
The Philadelphia Society Library con
tains 10,000 volumes. There are several
other very respectable libraries, and vari
ous literary institutions for mutual im
provement, which have a favorable influ
ence on the general character of its society.
Population of the city and liberties, in
1731, 12,000; in 1790, 42,520; in 1800,
70,280; in 1810, 92,247; in 1820, 108,116;

co. Pa. at the junction of the Alleghany
and Monongahelars. 201 m.W. from Har-

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

RED R. one of the principal tributaries
of the Mississippi, rises at the base of the
Rocky Mountains, near Santa Fe. The
False Washita and Blue rs. are the main
branches for near 400 m. It forms the
boundary between the territory of the U.
States and Texas, from 17 45 to 23 W.
from Washington. Entering the state of
Ark. it flows S. into La. and in a south
easterly direction, until it enters the Mis
sissippi r. in lat. 31 N. Much of its course
is through rich and beautiful prairies of
red soil, covered with grass, and vines of
delicious grapes. About 100 m. above
Natchitoches, commences the Raft a
broad swampy expansion of 20 or 30 m.
in width. The r. here dividing into nu
merous shallows, becomes covered and
obstructed with the masses of drift wood
borne from the upper streams. Boats
sometimes pass through these obstruc
tions, and are often obliged to follow a
stream into a distant lake, and pass into
the r. below the Raft through the outlet.
The r. is thus impeded for about 60 or 70
m. But for this, steamboats could ascend
to the delightful region of country above
it. The valley of the r. for a great dis
tance above its mouth, is from 6 to 18 m.
wide, and of superior fertility. Cotton
is the staple. The whole length of this
noble r. is estimated at 2,500 m.

RHODE ISLAND, one of
the United States, bounded N. and E. by
Massachusetts, S. by the Atlantic, and
W. by Connecticut. Mean length from
N. to S. about 42 miles; mean breadth,
about 29 miles ; area 1,225 square m. It
is the smallest state in the Union.
The surface of the country is generally
level, except in the NW. part, which is
hilly and broken. The soil is best adapt
ed to grazing; but the island of Rhode
Island is fertile, and productive in all
kinds of grain. The rivers and bays af
ford a great variety of excellent fish. Iron
abounds in considerable quantities. Cop
per is also found. The principal streams
are the Providence, Pawtucket and Paw-
tuxet rs. Narraganset Bay extends from
S. to N. over 30 miles into the state, and
contains a number of islands, among
which are Rhode Island, Conanicut,
Prudence, Patience, and Hope islands.
Block Island lies 10 m. S. of the coast, in
the ocean. The climate is mild and salu
brious.
The principal towns are Providence,
Newport, Bristol, Warwick, and Paw-
tucket.
The principal commercial and manu
facturing interests centre in Providence
and the neighborhood. There are large
manufactures of cotton, woollen, &c. at
Providence, Pawtucket, Warwick, and
Slatersville.
The General Assembly meets usually
four times a year, at Providence, New
port, East Greenwich, and South Kings
ton. Rhode Island has no written con
stitution, but retains the forms prescribed
by the charter originally granted by
Charles II. in 1663.
There are about 650 common schools
in the state, and 26,000 children of a suit
able age for instruction. The legislature
appropriates annually $10,000 for the sup
port of the schools ; and this amount is
increased by taxes laid in the towns.
Brown University is the only college in
the state. It was founded in 1764 at
Warren, and removed to Providence in
1770.
The principal religious denominations
are Baptists, Methodists, and Congrega-
tionalists.
Rhode Island was first settled at Provi-
RIG
263
RIG
dence, by Roger Williams, a minister
who was obliged to leave the colony of
Plymouth on account of his religious
opinions. His followers soon increased,
and a patent for the territory and permis
sion to establish an independent govern
ment was obtained from the Plymouth
Company, in 1644. The first General
Assembly met in 1647.
Internal Improvements : Blackstone
Canal extends from Providence to Wor
cester, Mas. 45 miles ; finished in 1828 ;
cost $600,000.
New York, Providence, and Boston
Rail Road extends from Providence to
Stonington, Ct. 47 m. long; of which
about 40 m. are in Rhode Island.
The Boston and Providence Rail Road
is chiefly in Mas.
Population : in 1790, 68,825; 1800,
69,122 ; 1810, 76,931 ; 1820, 83,059 ;
1830, 97,212.
RHODE ISLAND, an island in
Narraganset Bay, R. I. which gives
name to the state. It is 15 m. long N. &
S. and 3 wide. It is a beautiful, fertile,
and healthy spot, and a frequent resort
for invalids from the south. A consider
able portion of it is used for grazing sheep
and neat cattle. The other parts are in
a high state of cultivation. It contains
the townships of Newport, Middletown,
and Portsmouth.

RICHMOND, city, and port of entry,
Henrico co. and capital of the state of
Virginia, situated on the N. side of James
r. at the head of tide water, 150 m. above
the mouth, 25 N. of Petersburg, and 123
SW. of Washington. The situation of
Richmond is healthy and agreeable. The
houses are generally of brick, and have a
neat appearance. The State House is
justly admired for its architectural beauty.
Among the places of public worship, is
the Monumental Church, erected on the
spot where the Richmond Theatre was
burnt on the 26th Dec. 1811, at which the
Governor of Va. and 71 other persons
lost their lives. This city has considera
ble commerce and manufactures. Ves
sels drawing 15 feet can ascend the river
to within 5 m. of Richmond, and vessels
drawing 10 feet can come to Rockets, a
little below the city. The falls, in which
the r. descends 80 feet in 6 m. is avoided
by a canal, and small boats reach over
200 m. above them. The Penitentiary
and the Va. armory are here. The popu
lation in 1820, was 12,0-16 ; in 1830, 16,060,
of which 6,345 were slaves, and 1,900 free
blacks.
