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 oii 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 op the United States, the engraving of which is nearly fin- ished, to be accompanied with a complete RErERENCE 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 ?oulhvvesl:— I respectfully request your answer to the ioUowing 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 villages — their situation, population, and distances from other neighboring villages'? 4. What canals and railroads, or other internal improvements, have been projected or completed within the same period — with the places connected thereby? 5. What new public or stage road has been established 7 — 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, in their appropriate places, it is not thought necessary to give them here. This article will therefore be confined to a more general view of the United States and the territories, and to such particulars as cannot be so well embraced in any other place. 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 fi. 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 ii(louth 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 45 GENERAL VIEW OF THE those principles of civil and religious liberty which elevate man to the just standard of his natural rights. After a long and arduous struggle, in which every privation, hardship, and sacrifice, was endured by the American armies and people, and the wisdom, fortitude, and perseverance of Washington were so signally exemplified ; — the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, put an end to the war. In 1783, a treaty of peace was signed, by which Great Britain acknowledged the Independence of the United States. SURFACE AND CLIMATE. The vast territory of the U. States presents a great variety of surface, with two Sreat ranges of mountains stretching generally in a northeasterly and southwesterly irection, and dividing the country mto three unequal divisions. The Rocky Moun- tains are the highest, and connect with the Cordilleras Range of Mexico ; commen- cing at the Isthmus of Darien, 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- proved since the early settlement of the country, and will probably undergo still further changes for the belter. But it is generally healthy, except in some of the southern states in the summer months. SOIL AND PRODUCTIONS. While the country presents the greatest variety of soil, it abounds in vast tracts of inexhaustible fertility, particularly in the south and west. The Atlantic border, and the N. England states generally, are in a high state of cultivation, but are less productive in grain than the country west of the 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 Champlain. The principal rivers are the Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Columbia or Ore- gon, Red, Kanzas, Lewis, Clark, Yellow Stone, Canadian, Ohio, Tennessee, Ala- bama, Appalachicola, Connecticut, Des Moines, Cumberland, James, Gt. Pedee, Illinois, Multomah, Mobile, Susquehannah, Platte, Wabash, St. Peters, Washita, White, Tombigbee, Big Horn, St. Johns, Sabine, Roanoke, Potomac, Penobscot, Pearl, Osage, Kentucky, Hudson, Wisconsin, Green, Gt. Kannawha, Delaware, Coosa, Chaltahooche, Cape Fear, Alleghany, and Altamaha. The principal bays are the Chesapeake, Delaware, New York, Massachusetts, Cape Cod, Narragansett, Penobscot, Passainaquoddy, Buzzards, Mobile, Pensacola, Tampa, and Appalachicola. The principal sounds are Long Island, Albemarle, and Pamlico. The most prominent capes are Cape Ann, Cod, May, Henlopen, Charles, Henry, Hatteras, Look Out, Fear, Canaveral, Florida, Sable, St. Bias, Sandy Hook, and Montauk Pt. MINERALS. Gold is found in N. Carolina, S. Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia. Iron abounds in nearly every slate 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. , UNlTfiD Sf ATBJC AGRICULTURE. Of the great staples, already mentioned, cotton holds a distinguished place, 1789, but one million pounds of cotton were raised in the U. States. lbs.

The value of manufactures of the U. States, in 1810, was estimated at S172,762, 876, In ]H36, 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. Years. Imports. Exports. Years. Imports Exports. 1790 $23,000,000 $20,205,156 1817 $99,250,000 $82,671,569 1800 91,252.768 70,971,780 1820 74,450,000 69,691,670 1804 85.000,000 77,699,074 1825 96.340,000 99,535.388 1805 120,600,000 95,566,021 1830 70,876,920 73,840,500 1807 138,500,000 108,843,150 1831 103,191,124 81,310,583 1808 56,990,000 22,430,960 1833 108,118,310 90,140,433 1814 12,965,000 6,927,441 1834 126,521,332 104,346,973 1815 113,041,274 52,557,753 1835 149,895,742 121,693,577 1816 147,103,000 81,920,400 1836 189,980,035 128,663,040 Tn 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 404,814 belonged to N. York ; 226,779 to Boston ; 91,905 to Philadelphia; 81,710 to N. Or- leans; 81,252 to N. Bedford ; and 62,365 to Baltimore. FISHERIES. Nearly all the fisheries are carried on from the N. England states. The most im- portant are the cod fishery, whale, raackeral, and herring. The value of fish, oil, and sperm candles, exported for the year ending Sept. 30, 1836, was $2,666,058; GENERAL 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 stales 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 Gren- 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 Greneral Government the region now forming the stales 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 Land Office, through the Surveyor General. The public sales of land are made by auction ; but large quantities are sold by private entry. Settlers who have already occupied land without a legal title, are entitled to a pre-emption right of purchase. The public lands are divided into Districts, in each of which is a Land Office, under the superintendence of a Register of the Land Office, and a Receiver of Pub- lic Monies. The surveys are based upon a series of true meridians, and all the surveys are made to correspond with these lines. The land is divided into townships, 6 miles square, and these into 36 sections, of one square mile each, or 640 acres. These sec- tions are subdivided into qiuirier 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 %\ 25 per acre, at which it still remains. As staled 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 nelt 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 10 years, from 1820 to 1830, In 4 " " 1830 to 1834, In the year 1835, 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 — fiarnishing one third of the U. S. Senate, and one sixth of the members of the House of Representatives. Annual Annual Acres. average.

It owed its origin to the celebrated Robert Morris. It was first charter- ed by Congress at Philadelphia, in 1781. In 1792, there were 12banks ; in 1811, 89; in 1815, 208; in 1816,240; in 1820,608; in 1830, 330; in 1836, 567; on the 1st Jan.. 1837, 633; 1st July, 1837, 000.

States in 1833, was estimated by the Secretaiy 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 4ih 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 siirplus reveniie i-emaining 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 com tnercial 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 $127,3^4,933. The following table exhibits the debt at different periods, from the close of the Revolu- tionary War to its final extinction. Public Debt at different periods. Years. Debt.

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 S2'2, 102,035; of silver $46,739,182; of copper $740,331 ;— total, il;69,581,548. For four years the coinage was as follows: In*1833, value $3,765,710 I 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 ines, $2,931,500, viz.: In 1833, $868,iX)0; in 1834, $898,000 ; in 1835, $698,500 ; m 1836, $467,000 ARMY. From the peculiar position of the U. States in regard to foreign powers, and 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 3 Corps of Engmeers 22 Topographical Department 10 Ordnance Department 308 Two Regiments of Dragoons 1,498 Four Regiments of Artillery 2,180 Seven Regiments of Infantry 3,829 Total 7,958 There are two great Military Divisions, divided by a line commencing at the mouth of the Mississippi, following up that river to Cassville, in Wisconsin Ter- ritory, thence north to the boundary line between the U. States and Canada. All west of that line is called the Western Division ; and all east of it, the Eastern Di- vision. The total number of militia in the U. States, as given in an official report, dated Nov., 1836, is 1,326, 821. The militia comprises all able bodied white males be- tween the ages of 18 and 45; and. when call^ into actual service, they receive th» same pay as the army. NAVY. The American navy, though small in point of numbers, is formidable in itai power, and very efficient in its organization and discipline. It consisted in 1837^ finished and on the stocks, of 11 ships of 74* guns. 2 ships of 24 guns. 1 do. 64 " 14 do. 44 " 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 SaiUng 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. * Bated at 74, but mountisg between 84 and 100. 2 ships of 24 13 do. 18 6 do. 12 UNITED STATES, u Number Amount Expendi- Y Number Amount Expendi- ofOffices. of Postage. tures. ofOffices. of Postage. tures. 1790 75 $37,935 $32,140 1825 5,677 $1,306,525 1,229,043 1795 453 160,600 117,893 1830 8,450 1,919,300 1,959,109 1800 903 280,804 213,994 1834 10,387 1,969,913 1810 2,300 551,684 495,969 1835 10,770 1815 3,000 1,043,065 748.121 1836 11,091 3,398,455 2 755,623 ISiO 4,500 1,111.927 1,160.926 1837 11,770 4,137,0561 3 380,847] In July, 1835, the length of the mail routes in the U.

Privilege of Franking. The officers of the General Government at Washington, and members of Con- gress, from the period of 60 days before they take their seats until the next meeting of the next Congress, may send and receive letters and newspapers free of postage ; if the packet weighs more than two ounces, members of Congress are charged ■with the excess only. Postmasters may send and receive, free of postage, letters and packets not ex- ceeding half an ounce in weight; and they may receive one daily newspaper, each, or what is equivalent thereto. Printers of newspapers may send one paper to each and every other printer of newspapers within the U. States, free of postage, under such regulations as the 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 ni 1833. Nor is it possible that any church and state establishment can ever be formed in the U. States : for if tiie 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 these there were Societies. Methodists, including all kinds, 4,000 Baptists, do. do ' 7,130 Presbyterians, do. do ! 2,800 Congregationalists, I 1,300 Dutch Reformed, Episcopalians, German Reformed, Lutherans, Christians, Friends, Universalists, Unitarians Catholics, 200 850 600 750 1,000 450 650 200 440 Ministers. 3,600 4,900 2,230 1,150 200 850 180 270 800 320 175 390 Members. 700,000 492,500 275,000 160,000 22,500 30,000 62,300 150,000 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 suhiect, 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 effiicient common school system, which will embrace all the children of the land, under a course of good sound education. The General Government of the U. States does nothing in aid of public instruc- tion, except to reserve for that purpose one. section of the public land in every town- ship, being jg 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 fire hundred thousand, acres. To the states, respectively, belong the duly 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. Slates, 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, 120,000; 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 College, 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. Tliere 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 S23,950. Since which, additional sums have been appropriated, making a total, since 1814, of if99,950. 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 12,000 volumes each. Although the libraries of the U. States are small compared with the magnificent collections in Europe, which amount to an aggregate of 19,850 000 volumes — (the Paris Royal containing 700,000 ; Munich, 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 OP THE The Senate has the sole power to try impeachments. The Vice President is President of the Senate, and has a casting vote only. The House of Representatives is composed of members elected in the several states by the peopb, for a term of two years. Each state is entitled, under a law vpassed 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 cixi\ hold any office under the U. States at the same time. Congress have power to Liy 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 nnd chief of the army and navy, and of the militia, when in actual service. His compensation is 5^'J[).

O. an important commercial city and c. t. It was first laid out in 1789, but took its rise after the defeat of the Indians by Wayne, in 1794. It is situated on the N. bank of the Ohio r. on a level plat of ground. The streets cross each other at right an- gles, and are well regulated. This city Ihas been justly styled the "dueen of the CIT 62 CLA ■West." It is not more distinguished for the enterprise and'munificence of its inha- bitants, than for their noble spirit in pro- moting the cause of learning and primary education. Besides several respectable colleges, institutes, lyceums, &c. the large and commodious buildings erected for common school instruction reflect the high- est credit upon the public spirit and bene- ficence of the inhabitants. Many of the public buildings are very beautiful ; among 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 183-2 were estimated at S4,000,- ■000, and for 1836 at S5,000,000. A large number of steam engines are in operation, in cotton and various other manufactories. Various rail-roads, canals, and turnpike roads, projected or in a course of construc- tion, are expected to add still greater fa- cilities of trade and wealth to this flour- ishing emporium. The following account of its populatior at different periods marks its rapid histo- ry. Pop. in 1800, 750; 1820, 10,000 1824, 12,016 ; 1826, 16,230 ; 1830, 24,831 in 1838, estimated at 38,000.

OOUETECTICUTjoneofthe United States, is bounded N. by Massa- chusetts ; E. by Rhode Island; S. by Long Island Sound ; and W. by New York. Its mean length from E. to W. is about 88 m. Its mean breadth from N. to S. 58 m. containing about 5,100 square m. It has several ranges of mountains, which, however, are not of much eleva- tion. The general face of the country is varied by moderate undulations of hill and valley. The valleys generally are very rich. The E. part of the state par- ticularly, contains strong and rich soil — the NW. portion is indifterent. The cli- mate is remarkably healthy. The principal rivers are the Connecti- cut, the Housatonic, and the Thames. The principal cities and villages are Hartford, and New Haven, the two state capitals, — New London, Middletown, Norwich, Wethersfield, and Windsor. The chief agricultural productions are corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, &c. There are fine meadows and pasture land, on which many sheep and other stock are raised. Silk is also raised in considerable quantities. There are many manufactories of cot- ton, paper, leather, iron, &c. in a flourish- ing condition, and there is a considerable coasting trade with New York, Boston, and elsewhere. There are two colleges in the state — CON 71 COO Yale College at New Haven, which is the oldest in the United States, founded in 1701— and Washington College, at Hart- ford, founded in 1826. The Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb at Hartford was the first of the kind established in the United States. The number of manufactories in 1830, was l,'21-2 ; mills, 1,597 ; dwelling houses, 41,416; cattle, 219,800; sheep, 331,054; acres of land, 2,607,81J9. A common school system is established, and extending a good influence over thou- sands of children ; but here, as in other states, the people too much overlook the great claims of these primai-y schools. The school fund is about ,4*^2,000,000. Liternal improvements completed and in progress, are as follows: The New York, Providence 4* Boston Rail Road, extending from Stonington to Providence, R. I. 47 m. ; and the Worcester if- Nor- ivich Rail Road, 48 m. ; and the Hartford . GREEN, t. Clintonco. O. 1,118. GREEN, t. Harrison co. O 1,871. GREEN, t. Adams co. O. 804. GREEN, t Shelby CO. O. G.

IIiLIMOIS, one of the United States, bounded N. by Wisconsin Terri- 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 17G3, theterritory 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 States 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, which 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 win 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 jvheat 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 183.5, 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 ImproreviC7its.-^ The state has commenced an extensive system of inter- nal improvements. At the sessio/i of the • Legislature in 1837, an act was passed appointing a Board of Commissioners of Public Works, and appropriations to the amount of S9,()00,000 were authorized for various improvements, some of which are as follows: A rail mad 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, S'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. Sl,850,000. A rail road from Alton to Mount Carmel. A rail road ft-om 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 Shelby ville, Shelby CO. to Hillsboro', via Charleston, Coles CO. and Paris to the Indiana state line, in the direction of Terre Haute. A rail road from Lower Alton, via Hillsboro', to the Central Rail Road, to intersect the former rail road to Terre Haute. A rail road from Bloomingfon, 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 vi^ay of Lebanon, to intersect the rail road from Alton to Mount Carmel. Besides these, there are several rail roads undertaken by private companies; among which are, a rail road from Jack- sonville to Augusta, 22 m.; a rail road from Chicago to Des Plaines, 12 m. : a rail road from St. Louis to the coal mines at Bluffs, 6 m. ; a rail road from Naples to Jacksonville. The Illinois <^ 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 Ka.skaskia 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. fallinginto the Mississippi 20 m. above its junction with the Missouri. The length of the Illinois proper is about 2ti5 m. It is navigable, generally, for 210 m. and at high water as far as Otta- wa, about 220 m. The navigation of the r. by steam and other vessels is consider- able and fast increasing. ILLINOIS, v.

IlfDZ ASfA, one of the United States, bounded N. by Michigan and the Lake, E. by Ohio, S. by Kentucky, and W. by Illinois. Its greatest length from N. to S. is 275 m. by 145 m. in breadth, and contains about 38,000 square m. The surface of the country is generally level, with occasional broken and uneven sections, which, however, are more par- ticularly confined to the neighborhood of the Ohio r. in the S. part of the state. There are many prairies, some of wiiich are extensive, containing belts of good timber on the streams which cross them. The climate is similar to that of Ohio and Illinois, and is generally healthy, ex- cept on the borders of Lake Michigan, winch 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 m 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, While, 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 NVV. 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 niijht and attacked the American camp with horrid shouts and yells. The troops were at first thrown into confusion, but were rallied, and succeeded in entirely de- feating the savages. Two hundred Ameri- cans fell in the battle. Internal Improvements. — The public improvements now in progress in tliis state are — The Wabash ^^ Eric Canol, to connect Lake Erie at Toledo, on the Mau- mee Bay, with the Wabash r. at Terre Haute. The Central Canal connects the Wa- bash and Erie Canal, at Peru, on the Wabash r. with the Ohio r. at Evansville, and is again connected with the Wabash and Erie Canal at Terre Haute, by a cross cut intersecting it at Point Com- merce, at thp mouth of Eel r. 40^ m. long. The White Water Canal is to connect Cambridge City, on the national road, with the Ohio r. at Lawrencfburgh, 76 m. A branch extends from the main canal at Harrison to Cincinnati, Ohio. The Madison tj- Lafayetle Rail Poad, IND 137 IRI (of which 22 m. are completed, from Vernon to Madison,) is expected to be finished in 1842. Length, ItIO m. In addition to these, two McAdamized roads are in progress — one from Jeffer- sonvilie to Crawfordsvillc, connecting the Ohio, opposite Louisville, with the Wa- bash and Erie Canal — 158 m.

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 atid lumber, and a popnhaion 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 greatest length is 400 m. from E. to W. Its mean breadth, N. and S. 140 m. — with an area of 40,G00 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 177(3. 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 wei-e 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 forma half of the E. boundary. The Kentucky r. flows through a chasm of hmestone several liundred 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 generally throughout the state is very fertile. The climate is healthy and agreeable — the winters seldom lasting longer than three months. The whole country W. of the moun- tains rests on a bed of limestone from 8 to 10 feet below the surface. There are many remarkable cavities, called "sink holes," caused by the waters penetrating through the limestone. Some of them are 60 feet deep, and 250 in circumference at the top. There are also a number of wonderful caverns of great depth and extent. The Mammoth Cave near Green River is the most celebrated. It has been explored to the extent of 15 m. without reaching 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 arc 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 Method isls. 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.

ZiCUISIAUA, one of the Uni- ted States, bounded on the N. by Arkan- sas and Mississippi, E. by Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico, S. by G. of Mexico, and W. by Texas. Its greatest length, K and W. is 3^ta. 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 duebec, 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 francs, or over 15,000,000 dollars. In 1812 Louisiana, as at present defined, was admitted into the Union as a sove- reign State. In 1814 the State was in- vaded by a British anny 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 in the western section. Some of the prairies are of vast extent, containing from 5,000 to 8,000 square m. The Attakapasand the Opelousas prairies are the hirjjest. They contaitt 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 slate, amounting to 5,000,000 acres, is annually inundated by the waters of the Mississippi. Part of this soil is of the greatest fertility, and is susceptible of being drained — other portions are composed of cypress swamps and marshes. Cotton is the great staple of the state, but sugar is produced in great quantities in the more elevated soil. Rice also is produced on the banks of the Mississippi. The principal rivers are the Missis- sippi, Red r. Washita, Atchafalaya, Black, Lafourche, Sabine, Terisaw, Cal- casia and BeufF. The state abounds in numerous lakes, the principal of which are Lake Borgne, Pontchartrain, Sabine, Calcasia and Barrataria. The cliief towns are New Orleans, the capital of the state, Donaldsonville, St. Marlins, Alexandria, St. Francisvilie, Ba- ton Rouge and Natchitoches — but N. Or- leans is the only town of considerable size. The Catholic is the prevailing religion. Other denominations do not number over 40 ministers. There is a college at New Orleans, and one at Jackson, and $40,000 annually are appropriated for the education of the chil- dren of the poor.

Maryland was first explored by Lord Baltimore, a Catholic, who visited the country to form a settlement on ac- count of the persecution of that sect in England. He died on his return to Eng- land, while preparing for emigration His son obtained the grant of the territo- ry, and named it Maryland, in honor of Henrietta Maria, the Q,ueen of Charles I. He appointed his brother, Leonard Cal- vert, governor of the colony, who estab- lished a settlement in 1634, at St. Mary's, on the Potomac. The Catholics were se- verely persecuted for some years after, and the colonists experienced various troubles, which were removed at the restoration of Charles II. in 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. Oh the 14th of August, 1776, the consti- tution of the State was ratified. The only mountains aie along the N. bank of the Potomac, where the Appala- chian ridge crosses a narrow strip of the State. The rest of the Stale is generally undulating and level. There is much good land in the State, adapted to the cultivation of wh^at and tobacco. The valleys in the W. part of the State particularly, are extremely fer- tile and firoductive. The rlimaie is rather milder than that of Pennsylvania, and somewhat warmer in summer. The weather is liable to sud- den chiinges 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. PatuX'>nt, 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 Bay pene- trates far into the interior, dividing the State into two sections, called the Eastern and Western shores. The principal island.^ are Kent island, the Tangier islands, and Assatiegue island. Year. Whites.! Col'd.

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. Population at various periods : In 1660, 12,000; 1701,25,000; 1755,108,000. Total. 319,728 345,824 380,546 407,350 446.913 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 i^ Ohio Rail Road. The Chesapeake tf* Ohio Canal was chartered by Virginia in 1824, confirmed by Maryland and Congress, 1825, and ciimmenced in 1828. It is to extend from the Potomac, near Georgetown, to Cum- berland on the Potomac; thence by Wills or. Youghiogeny and Monongahela rs. 10 Pittsburg. Length 341} ni. Distance from Georgotown to the Pennsylvania State line, 189 in The original estimate of cost was $22,375,000. A later esti- irnteis S9,347,408. The State of Mary- and subscribes ft'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 80 feet; at the bottom, 50 feet; depth from 6 to 7 feet. A tunnel is required through the Alleghany mountains, at the summit level, 4 m. .md 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. MAS 176 MAS The Baltimore d^ Ohio Rail Road, was incorporated in 1827, 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. 83,000,000 of the stock have been subscribed by the Slate of Ma- ryland, and $3,000,000 by thecity of Bal- timore. A considerable portion of the road is completed and in operation. The Baltimore tf- 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 t|- Susquehannah Rail Road, to extend from Baltimore to "Vork, 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 sperial care with the colonists, which extended even to the privilege of voting being confined to the church members. Other settle\nents 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, rnnsisting of 24 representatives from the diffVrent 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 1613, a union took place between all the New England colonies. In 1664, the province of Maine placed itself under the protection of Ma.s- sachusetts. The colonists suffered much in a war with Philip, which broke out in MAS 17'/ MAS 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 stale constitution was formed in 1780, which was revised in 1820, and again revised and ratified in Nov. 1836. A serious insurrection broke oat 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 Hoosac and Tagkannuc ridges. Of the latter, the highest elevation is Sad- dle Mountain, in the N. part, near 4,000 feet high; and Tagkannuc Mountain, 2,800 feet high. The Hoosac range is less elevated, and divides the branches of the Hoosac and Housatonic rs. The other highest elevations are Wachusett Mountain, in Worcester co. : Mount Hoi- yoke and Mount Tom, in Hampshire co. and Mount Toby, in Franklin co. The chief rivers are the Connecticut and its tributaries, Westfield, Deerfield, Millers and Chickopee rs. ; the Merri- mac, Housatonic, Hoosac, duinnebaug, 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 prominpnt 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 weathor in May and during the summer becomes settled, mild and agreeable. The country assumes a rich and beautiful appearance, the air is pure and lM>akhy, and art and nature seem to vie '.n rendering the whole face of things delisrhtful to the eye. The midiile and western sections of the stateconiain many b-autiful, fertile tracts, in u high state of cultivation. In the southern anH eastern parts the soil is lighter, atid on the const there are occa- sional marshy and b.'jrren tracts. 23 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 Aniesbury. 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 S39l,993; by voluntary contribution, S'47,593; paid for tuition in private schools and academies, jt326,643: total, S7r)6,228. Sum appor- tioned by law from the school fund, SI 9, 002. According to the revision of the con- stitution in 1836, the number of represen- tatives in the Legislature is reduced from 631 to 417. Each town or city having 300 ratable polls, may elect one represen- tative, and for every 450 in addition to the first 300, one represi-ntative more. Formerly one representative was chosen for everv 150 rataMe polls, and one for every additional 225. Pnpul.ition at various periods : In 1790, 96.510; 1800. 422,845; 1810, 472.040; 1«>0, .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 Massnchusetis. 633 in other states, and 1,192 in foreign countries.

The roar of the fulls 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 Ameruan 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 ; wliich in the sum- mer season are crowded with visiters, who come from all parts of the country to view this most sublime spectacle in the world of the kind.

UORTH CAIICI.IXTA, 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 ra. 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 222 NOR ■no 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 1659, 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 tlie 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 suit in the W. part of the stale is ihe 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, aflTording 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 manufic- turing it. The gold mines have attracted great attention. The gold region embra- ces about 1,000 square miles. Part of the gold is obtained by mining, and part by washing the sand and gravel found in the gullies and beds of creeks. In 1824, this state furnished for the U. S. mint, gold to the value of S5,000 ; in 1825, S17,000; in 1829, $134,000; in 1832, $458,000; in 1834, S'380,000; in 1835, $263,500; 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 was established in 1818, at the falls of Tar r, in Edgecombe co. The principal rivers of the state are the Roanoke, Chowan, Cape Fear, Pamlico, Tar, Neuse and Yadkin. The chief towns are Newbern, Fay- etteville, Wilmington, and Raleigh, the seat of government. The principal sounds and bays are Pamlico Sound and Albemarle Sound, and Onslow and Raleigh bays. The 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 Hterary fund fur 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 UOO,* 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, (here are the Episcopal School at Raleigh; Manual Labor School at Fayetieville ; Manual Labor School at Wake Forest, and the Female Seminary at Salem. The population in 1790 was 393,950; in IKOO, 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. Its breadth varies from 400 to 1,400 yards. Below Cumberland r. its average width is over a mile. At Cincinnati it is 800 yards, which is its mean breadth. The elevation of the Ohio at Pittsburg is 678 feet, and at its junction with the Missis- sippi r. at low water, 283 — having a fall of 395 feet in its entire length. The cur- rent of the river is gentle, and varies from two to four miles an hour. The only ob- struction in general to navigation is the rapids at Louisville, where there is a ca- nal to avoid them. The river is naviga- ble for large steamboats half the year through its entire course. Its lowest stage is in September, and in March it is at its highest. Its depth varies at the 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 16,400,000 acres for taxation. The territory now forming the state, OHI 2 was 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, 45,305 ; in 1810, -230,700 ; in 1820, 581,434 ; in 1830, 935,b72. Of this last number there were deaf and dumb, 426 ; 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, flux 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 are abundant in the eastern parts of the state. Marble is found in many places, and salt springs are numerous. The cli- mate is generally mild, and warmer than other parts of the country in the same latitude. Except in the neighborhood of the marshes and flats, it is very healthy. Among the curiosities are the numerous ancient mounds scattered over various parts of the state. Their origin is very uncertain. Some of them are from 40 to 70 feet high, with a level area of 40 feet diameter at the top, and a circumference at the base of 400 to 500 feet. There are also numerous ancient fortifications of a circular form. The principal rivers are the Ohio, which forms the entire S. boundary of the state, Muskingum, Scioto, Gt. Miami, Lit. Mi- ami, Maumee, Cuyahoga and Sandusky. The principal cities and towns are Cin- j cinnati, Cleaveland, Zanesvillc, Colum-j bus, the capital, Chillicothe, Steubenville, Dayton and Circleville. Ohio is admirably situated for trade. Her central position, her noble rivers and 39 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 for two years. His salary is S1)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 Resei've Colleges; Lane Theolog. Seminary, and a theological school at Columbus. There is also a medical college at Cincinnati. The state has a considerable fund de- voted to common school instruction. An excellent system has been established, and great efforts are being made to improve it as much as possible. The lands set apart for the school fund amount to over half a million of acres, some of which have been sold, and some let out on lease. Internal Improvements. — The astonish- ing and rapid growth and prosperity of the state of Ohio, is equalled only by her magnificent works of internal improve- ment. It is only thirty-six years since she was admitted as a state into the Un- ion, and now there are near 500 miles of navigable canal finished and in operation, and about 200 miles of canal and 100 miles slack water navigation under con- tract to be finished in 1839. There are also other canals and river improvements projected, which will soon swell the amovmt of inland navigation in this young state to upwards of 1,000 miles. The Ohio Canal extends from Cleave- land, on Lake Erie, to Portsmouth on the Ohio ; length, 307 m. ; commenced 1825, finished 1832. There is a navigable feeder to Zanesville, 14 m. ; one to Co- lumbus, 10 m. ; and one to Lancaster, 9 m. OIL •230 OLD The Miami Canal, to extend from Cin- cinnati via Dayton, the valleys of St. Mary's and Auglaize rivers, to Defiance, on Maumee r. where it will unite with the Wabash and Erie Canal ; is finished to St. Mary's. The distance by this route from Cincinnati to Lake Erie is 265 m. The portion of the Wabash and Erie Canal which is in this state, is under con- tract. This Canal is to extend from La- fayette, on the Wabash in Indiana, to near the entrance of the Maumee r. into Lake Erie. 105 m. in Indiana, and 82 m. in Ohio — total length, 187 m. Mahonning and Beaver Canal, to ex- tend from the Pennsylvania Canal, at New Castle, Pa. to Akron, on the Ohio Canal. Length, 88 m. of which 77 m. are in Ohio. Sandy Creek and Little Beaver Canal, to extend from Bolivar, on the Ohio Ca- nal, E. to Ohio r. Several other canal companies have been incorporated, most of which have not yet been commenced. The following table exhibits the pro- jected rail roads, the time incorporated, and capital of each : Naine.

(or Columbia,) a large r. in the territory of Oregon, rising in the Rocky Mountains, and flowing into the Pacific Ocean in lat. 46^ 15' N. It rises in two principal branches, the longest of which, Lewis r. rises in about lat. 40°, near Long's Peak. The N. branch is called Flat Head r. or Clark's Fork, and rises in about 46° N. lat. The Walla- mut, or Multnomah, is another principal branch. Vessels of 300 tons ascend the r. as far as the Multnomah, 120 miles. Sloops may ascend to the head of tide- water, 184 miles ; above this, th^re are rapids which interrupt the navigation. The whole length is about 1,500 miles. This river derived the name of Columbia from the ship Columbia, Capt. Gray, of ORO 233 OSW Boston, who was the first modern navi- gator who entered the river. O H. E G O U Territory, a large sec- tion, W. of the Rocky Mountains, ex- tending from 42° to 54° N. lat. and to the Pacific Ocean on the W. containing about 300,000 square m. Besides the Rocky Mountains, there are two parallel ridges of mountains and several high peaks. The Oregon r. and its tributaries are the prin- cipal rs. The climate is mild and agree- able. The tops of the mountains are co- vered with perpetual snow. Much of the country is composed of extensive prairies. Pine and hemlock abound in the neigh- borhood of the sea shore. The soil in the valleys and along the shores of the riv- ers, is very fertile. The principal articles of trade are furs, seal-skins, &c. Astoria is the principal settlement, where the Americans have a trading establishment. The country was first discovered by the Spaniards. In 1805, Lewis and Clark descended the r. and wintered on the shores of the Pacific. The Indians in the territory are estimated at 140 000. ORFORD, p. o. Grafton co. N. H. ORFORDVILLE, t. Grafton co.

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 broken up by the Dutch from New York, whose settlements were also in turn seized by the English. In 1681, William Penii, a Gluaker, who was the son of Admiral Sir Wm. Penn. obtained a grant from Charles II. for the territory, including Delaware, and immediately commenced the settlement of it. He arrived at New Castle in 1682, and fixed the site of Phila- delphia as the capital, then called Coal qunnock, and laid out that city. In 1799 Delaware became a distinct colony. The settlement for 70 years was happily free from all disturbances with the Inditins, which marked the early history of tiie other colonies. In 1718, Penn died in England, aged 74. The original charter continued until after the revolution. In 1790, a constitution was established, which continued until 1838, when a new constitution was formed. Most of the central part of the state is mountainous. The AUeghanies, of the Appalachian chain, extend in a number of ridges in aNE. course — the nearest on the E. being about 150 to 170 miles from the sea. They are known by various names, the Kittatiny or Blue Mountains, Tuscarora Mountains, Ragged INloun- 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.andW. 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, Alleo^hany, iV1onnMi;alie- la, Yioughiogeny, Kiskiminetas, Juniata, Schuylkill and Lehigh. The most important towns are Phila- delphia, Pittsburg, Lancaster, Reading, Harrisburg, the capital, Easton. Bethle- hem, Norristown, Columbia, Doylestown and GermnntoW'n. Pennsylvania is a great manufacturing state. The principal manufactories are in Philadelphia and Pittsburg and their neighborhoods. The most extensive are of cotton, wool, iron, glass and paper. Salt is manufactured largely from springs in the W. part of the state. The foreign commerce of the state cen- tres nearly altogether at Philadelphia. The value of imports is from sf 12,000,000 to $15,000,000 annually ; of exports, from PEN 241 PEN S4,000,000 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 of Pennsyl- vania, at Philadelphia; Carlisle College; Jefferson College, atCanonsburg ; Wash- ington College ; Alleghany 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, atCanonsburg; Theolo- gical Seminary, at Pittsburg. I 31 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. Abou $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. Population of the state at various pe- riods : — Population.

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, 81 5 miles ; Canal — eastern division, Columbia to Hollidays- burg, 171f ; Alleghany Portage Rail Road, Hollidaysburg to Johnstown, 36| ; 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, 73^ 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. Lackawaxen, 25 miles, and rail road ; cost $2,000,000.

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 um- ted. There were then only two or three houses and a post office. The first post- master was Abraham Wage tier, 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 S'100,000, an academy and several select schools, two grist and two saw mills, two printing offices, and two weekly papers. The situation of Penn Yan, in the cen- tre of a beautiful agricultural county, with no other town in the vicinity to share its trade, ensures it a permanent and in- creasing prosperity. The outlet of the lake, through its entire course of 7 miles into Seneca Lake, affords a first rate wa- ter power, having a descent of 269 feet, which is used for a large number of grist, saw and fulling mills. The Crooked Lake Canal, 8 m. long, is constructed along the outlet, and affords a communication from the V. through Seneca Lake and the Cayu- ga & Seneca Canal, with the Erie Canal.

The streets of the city proper, (excluding the Liberties,) are laid out at right angles, generally abouf50 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, Atheeneum, 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 diflferent 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 GO miles in length. The entire cost, including the former works, is about SI ,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 1-2,000 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.

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, 10,515; 1830. 12,568. PITTSBURG, V.

There are several libraries, cont;iining in all several thousand volumes — including the Alhaeneum, the Apprentices' and Provi- PUL 257 PUT dence Libraries. Providence is a place of considerable commercial enterprise, and has extensive manufactories of cotton, iron and machinery. The town was first Settled by Roger Williams, who was forced to leave the Plymouth colony, par- ticularly on account of his declaration in favor of entire and unrestricted religious freedom among all setts. He commenced the settlement near the mouth of the river Mooshasuck, giving it, in acknowledg- ment of the Divine protection, the name of Providence.

RED R. of Ky. falls into Kentucky r. between Clark and Estill cos. RED R. of Lake Winnipeg, rises near the sources of the Mississippi r. and flows northerly 170 m. into the S. end of the lake. 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 b. into La. and in a south- easterly direction, until it enters the Mis- sissippi r. inlat. 31° N. Much of its course is through rich and beautiful prairies of red soil, covered with grass, and vines of delicious grapes. About 100 m. above Natchitoches, commences the Raft — a broad swampy expansion of 20 or 30 m. in width. The r. here dividing into nu- merous shallows, becomes covered and obstructed witli 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, steambo.its 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 G to 18 m. wide, and of superior fertility. Cotton is the staple. I'he whole length of this noble r. is estimated at 2,500 m.

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 grdzins; but the island of Rhode Isl.ind is fertile, and productive in all kinds of grain. The rivers and bays af- ford a great variety of excelleni fish. Iron abounds in considerable quantities. Cop- per is also found. The principal strrnuiis are the Providence, Pawtui-kit and Paw- tuxei rs Na>Taganset Bay exteiid.s from S to N. over 30 miles into the state, and contains a number of islands, among which are Rhode Island, Coniinicut, Pruden-e, Paiience, and Hope isl.mds. Block Island lies 10 m. S. of the co^st, in I he ocean. The climate is mild and salu- brious. The principal towns are Provid-nce, Newport, Bristol, Warwick, and Paw- tucket. The principal commercial and manu- fai-turing 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 limes a year, at Providence, New- port, E;ist Greenwich, and South Kings- ton. Rhode Island has no wriiten 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 SIOOOO 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- RIC 263 RIC dence, by Roger Williams, a minister who was obliged to leave the colony of Plymouth on account of his religious opmions. 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 1(344. The first General Assembly met in 1G47. IiUernal Improvements : — Blackstone Canal — extends from Providence to Wor- cester, Mas. — 45 miles ; finished in 18'28 ; 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.

The situation of Richmond is healthy and agreeable. Thei 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 25th 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 b'-low the city. The falls, in which the r. descends 80 feet in fi 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 12,016; in 1830, 16,0ti0, of which 6,345 were slaves, and 1,900 free blacks. RICHMOND County, E. .part of Va. on the E. side of Rappahannock r. Pop. 1830. 6,n.'j5.

The public buildings are a court house, fourteen churches an arcade, two market houses, three banks, and six fine hotels. The arcade is 100 feet front, 135 deep, and six stories high The 1st Presbyterian and St Paul's (Episcopal) churches are fine buildings. There are three bridges across the river, and a new aqueduct is now being erected for the Erie Canal. Rochester owes its rise and greatness to the vast water power supplied by the Genesee r. Within the city limits the fall of the river is ^iiS feet. There are 22 large flouring mills with 100 run of stones, averaging 500,000 barrels of flour a year. There are also a number of manufacto- ries and saw mills. Besides a large and increasing commerce by Lake Ontario, its internal trade through the Erie Canal is very extensive. Several of the lines of canal boats are owned here. In a few years, Rochester will also be connected with Albany and Buffalo by rail roads, which are now in a rapid course of con- struction. No city west of New York enjoys more of the substantial advantages of prosperity. Carthage, on the Genesee r. 2 m. below Rochester, and within its limits, is the port at which vessels and Steamboats arrive. A rail road extends from Rochester to Carthage, and it is pro- posed to continue it to Port Genesee on the lake. There are several literary institutions, and a large number of respectable schools ; two Institutes for the promotion of edu- cation, and the Franklin Institute and Atheeneum. There are 7 printing offices and six newspapers, two of which are daily. Rochester was founded in 1812, by Nathaniel Rochester, Wm.Fitzhugh, and Charles Carroll of Maryland, from the first of whom it took its name. It was incorporated as a village in 1817, and as a city 28th April, 1834. It includes an area of 4,324 acres. Pop. in 1820, 1,502; 1830, 9,269 ; 1835, 14,404. ROCHESTER, t. & v. Ulster co. N. Y.

In lat. 47° they are covered with snow in July. Frequent explosions and a loud rumbling noise are heai'd by trappers who visit them, supposed to be volcanic. Their appearance is dark, steril, and rugged. Some of the peaks are 12 to 18,000 feet high. Lewis and Clarke suffered greatly in crossing these mountains. On their return, in May, the snow was 10 feet deep. Captain Pike, in attempting to explore the southern parts "was completely bewildered in the snows and precipices, and lost a number of his party.

Ala SOUTH CARCI.I]SrA,one of the United States, bounded N. by North Carolina, SE. by the Atlantic, and SW. and W. by Georgia. It is 200 m. long by 125 m. broad, containing about 30,000 square m. The state was first settled in 1670, at Port Royal ; and Charleston was perma- nently settled in 1680. A grant was made as early as 1662, by Charles II. to Lord Clarendon and seven others, of the terri- tory between N. lat. 31° and 36° 30'. The proprietary government was very complex and difficult, which was increas- ed by the adoption of Mr. Locke's scheme. In 1719, the two Carolinas were separa- ted, and organized under the royal gov- ernment. Ill 1695, Governor Smith in- troduced the cultivation of rice, and cotton followed soon after — two very important events in the history of the state. South Carolina suffered much in contests with the Indians, and also in the revolution, in which she became distinguished. The surface of the country along the coast, and extending 100 miles into the interior, is a level plain. W. of this, the surface rises into ranges of little sand hills, resembling the waves of the ocean, which extend 50 or 60 miles. Beyond this, the country exhibits a fine belt of rich and well cultivated soil called the Ridge, extending from the Savannah to Broad r. ; and all W. and NW. is a beau- tiful luxuriant country, resembling the finest sections of the northern states. The western limit of the state is mountainous. The soil of South Carolina is divided into six classes : — 1. The tide swamp ; 2. Inland swamp ; 3. High river swamp, or low grounds ; 4. Salt marsh ; 5. Oak and hickory highland; 6. Pine barren. The first and second classes are particu- larly adapted to rice and hemp ; the third to corn, hemp and indigo ; the fifth is very fertile, and adapted to the cultivation of corn, indigo and cotton. The pine barrens are not much cultivated. Cotton and rice are the great staple commodities, large quantities of which are annually exported. Very little cotton was raised in the state previous to 1795. The winters are mild, and the seasons of vegetation commence as early as Janu- ary and February, and continue till Octo- ber or November. Snow often covers the mountains, but is seldom seen in the plains. For seven years in Charleston, the thermometer was not known to rise above 93°, or to fall below 17°. In the low country the inhabitants are much sub- ject to fevers in the summer season ; but in the more elevated regions, the air is as salubrious as in any part of the United States. The characteristics of the inhabi- tants of South Carolina are public spirit, hospitality and benevolence. The principal rivers are the Great Pe- dee, Santee, Savannah, Edisto, Congaree and Wateree. SOD 291 SOU The principal towns are Charleston, which is the largest, Georgetown, Co- lumbia, the capital, Beaufort and Cam- den. The Legislature is composed of a Sen- ate and House of Representatives. Sen- ators are chosen for four years — represen- tatives for two years. The governor is chosen by the Legislature for two years. His salary is $3,500. The principal denominations of Chris- tians are Presbyterians, Baptists, Metho- dists and Episcopalians. Education is encouraged by an annual appropriation for that purpose. The [)rincipal literary institutions are the Col- ege of S. Carolina, at Columbia, founded in 1804, which has nine instructors, an average of 150 students, and 10,000 vol- umes in the library; and Charleston Col- lege, founded in 1785, which has seven instructors, and an average of 65 students.

The Catawba r. has been improved by five short canals, amounting in all to IH miles. Saluda Canal, from the Saluda Shoals to Granby Ferry, on the Congaree, 6 m. There are several other small canals constructed to avoid obstructions in the rivers. The South Carolina Rail Road, extends from Charleston to Hamburg, on the Sa- vannah r. ; length 136 miles ; completed in 1833. The great project of forming a rail road communication from Charleston to Cin- cinnati and Louisville, on the Ohio r. has been undertaken; charters have been pro- cured from the several states, surveys made, and a considerable portion of the subscriptions paid in. The distance in a straight line between Charleston and Cin- cinnati is 520 miles.

It thence flows S. into Alabama, crosses the N. part of that state, and again enters 39 Tennessee ; crossing the state N. it enters Kentucky, and falls into the Ohio r. 57 m. above its mouth, and 13 m. below the mouth of Cumberland r. Its entire length is about 1,200 m. ; for near 1,001) m. it is navigable, having but few obstructions. Its principal head branches are Clinch, Holston, French Broad, Nolachucky, Tellico and Richland rs. It flows through a country the greater part of which is re- markable for its fertility. TUNNESSHi:, one of the U. States, bounded N. by Kentucky and Virginia, E. by North Carolina, S. by Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and W. by Arkansas and Missouri. It is 430 m. long by 104 broad, containing 40,000 square m. The earliest permanent settlement was made in 1757, by the erection of Fort Loudon. Between 1765 and 1770, settle- ments were made on the Holston r. by inhabitants from Virginia and N. Caro- lina, which were much harassed by In- dian warfare. The territory continued to form a part of North Carolina until 1790, when it was organized into a separate territorial government, which continued until 1796, when a state constitution was formed ; and on the 1st June of the same year, Tennessee was admitted into the Union as an independent state. The state is divided into East and West Tennessee by the Cumberland Mountains, which extend in a NE. and SW. direc- tion. The E. part is hilly, and rises to the chain of mountains which form the eastern boundary of the state. These are known by the names of Stone, Unaka, Bald, and Iron or Smoky Mountains. The middle and western parts of the state are level and undulating. The soil is ex- ceedingly various. The valleys in the eastern section are very fertile, containing large proportions of lime. In the middle, much of the land is of an indiff'erent quality. In the west it is rich and pro- ductive. The principal rivers are the Tennessee, Cumberland, Clinch, Holston, Forked Deer, Big Hatchee, Obion and French Broad. The climate is generally healthy. The winters are mild, and the summers are pleasant. Cotton is the staple production. Wheat, corn, rye and barley are also raised. There are no extensive manufactories; but iron, cotton and hemp have been man- ufactured to a considerable extent. Some of the most remarkable features in the state, are the bold and picturesque scenery of the mountains, with their lofty TEN 306 THO TENSAW, p. o. Baldwin co. Ala. TENSAW R.
