GENERAL DESCRIPTION THE UNITED STATES. Boundaries. The United States are bounded N. by the British do- minions ; E. by the Atlantic ocean ; S. by the Gulf of Mexico ; S. W. by the Spanish dominions ; and W. by the Pacific ocean. The boundary on the side of the Spanish dominions, according to the treaty with Spain, ratified in 1821, begins on the gulf of Mexico, at the mouth of the river Sabine, and proceeds along the west bank of that river to the 32d degree of N. fat. ; thence by a line due north, to Red river ; thence up that river to the meridian of 100* W. Ion. ; thence due N. along that meridian to the river Arkansas ; thence along the south bank of the Arkansas to its source, in lat. 42°, and thence along that parallel to the Pacific ocean. On the side of the British dominions the boundary begins in the Atlantic ocean at the mouth of the river St. Croix, and proceeds up that river to its source ; thence due north to the highlands which separate the waters falling into the St. Lawrence from those which fall into the Atlantic ; thence, along those highlands, in a S. W. direction, to the parallel of 45^ N. lat. ; thence, along that parallel to the river St. Lawrence, and thence, up that river, and tlie great lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, and S!:perior, to the most north-western point of the Lake of the Woods. By the treaty with Great Britain in 1819, the boundary line proceeds from the last mentioned point, due north or south, as the case may be, to the parallel of 49° N. lat. and thence due west along that parallel to the Rocky mountains. The boundary between the Rocky mountains and the Pacific ocean remains unsettled. The territory of the United States extends from 25° to 49° N. lat. and from 6G^ 49' to 125° W. Ion. from London, embracing upwards of 20,000,000 square miles. Face of the country. This vast country is intersected by two prin- cipal ranges of mountains ; the Rocky mountains in the west, which run across the territory in a direction nearly parallel with the coast of the Pacific ocean, at the distance of several hundred miles, and the Alleghany mountains in the east, which run parallel with the'At- lantic coast from Georgia, through Tennessee, Virginia, and Penn- sylvania, to Hudson river, New-York. The immense valley in- cluded between these two ranges of mountains, is intersected by the Mississippi river, which runs from north to south, through thie whole length of the United States. The country west of the ;Mi»« siesippi, with tew exceptions, is a wilderness inhabited by uncrri' < S G£5£RAL BLSCAIPTIO^ OF TU£ UMT£D STAY£S. lieligion. The f>rinci[);il religious deiioniitiations are Presbytcvi' one and (/ongregatn)iialistN, who have tugeth(.'r more than 2,500 con- gregations ; the lia|)tiKls, who liaveniore than 2,700 eongregationfi ; the Friends, who have more than TjOO societies ; and the Episcopa- liane, about 600. The Methodists are also very numerous. The Bap- tJRtB and JVIeth(»dist8 are found in all parts ol'tht; United States ; the Conj^regationalists are almost wholly in i\ew England ; the I'resby- tonaus are scattered over the Middle, Southern, and Western States ; Friejids are most numerous in Pennsylvania and the adjoining States, and the Episcopalians in New Vork, Oonneetieut, Marylajui, and Viigiiiia. German 1-utherans, Ciurman Culvinists, and Moravians, tire also numerous in the Middle States. Government. The United States are a Federal republic. Each »^r the States is indep<-n<1ent, and has tht; exclusive c()ntrol of all •piicerns merely local ; but the defence of the country, the regula- t'ons of commerce and all the general interests of tlie confederacy, ai e eoinmiUed, by the c(»nstitution of the United States, to a general ;Tovernment. The legislative power is vested in a Congress, con- Kist'i\g of a Senate and House of Reuresentatives. l"he Senate is conjposed of 2 members from each State, chosen by their legisla- tures for 6 years. The Representatives are chosen by the people biennially, each State being entitled to a number proportioned to its iree pouulation, and in the slave-holding States every five slaves are uliowed to count the same as three freemen. The President and Vice President are chosen for 4 years, by electors appointed for the purpose, and each State appoints as many electors, as the whole number of its Senators and Repreaentatives. The salary of the Pre- sident is |25,000 per annum, of tlie Vice Presideiit |5,000. The principal officers in the executive department are the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, the Sec- retary of the Navy, the Attorney General, and the Post-master Gen- era i. Rapid Increase. Since the establishment of the present govern- ment in 1789, the growth of the United States in population, cona- inerce, and wealth, has been without a parallel in the history of the world. The population in 1790, was 3,929,326, and in 1820, 9,625,734. 1(1 1790, the value of exports was |16,000,000: it is now about $70,000,000. The revenue in 1790, was 12,410,320 ; it is now more than $20,000,000. In 1790, the number of post-offices was 75, and the extent of post-roads 1,875 miles ^ in 1824, the number of post-of- iiceswao 5,182, and the extent of post-roads 87,850 miles. The amount of shipping in 1790, was 486,090 tons ; in 1820, 1,280,165 tons. For tables illustrating the state of the commerce, population, and resources of the United States, sec Appencdx.

Among the source? of its prosperi*v are 1 The tobacco trade, of which it is i^ 'P-aUmnrCy city, and port of en-lthe best market, nnd draws to ir- '^^^^^-'^sfj^ W^^^e^=t>/~ <^^ £^e,c*^ BAL sell* nearly all the tobacco pro- duced in the State. 2. Flour trade. For the last 15 years, the quantity annually exported has been usually from 400,000 to 600,000 barrels, making Baltimore the largest flour market in the world. 3. Fisheries of the Chesa- peake^ consisting of herring and shad, exported to the neighbour- ing states and the W. Indies. 4. Water power : it is judged that a semi-circle of 20 miles round Baltimore contains water power r^ufficient to put in motion 1,600,000 spindles, with the cor- responding number of looms and other machinery. A- moiig the mills already erected are 60 flour and corn mills ; 13 cotton factories, one of which, the Warren factory, has 7,000 spindles ; a woollen factory, and several iron and copper works. /^ Baltimore contains the State penitentiary ; the city and county alms-house; a court-house; a museum ; 2 theatres ; a custom- jiouse ; a hospital, in which there is a fine collection of anatomical preparations in wax ; an exchange, an immense edifice recently erect- ed ; an athenaeum (stone edifice) ; 3 market-houses, 10 banks, 32 houses of public worship, 5 for Roman Catholics, 5 for Episcopa- lians, 5 for Methodists, 3 for Bap- tists, 3 for Presbyterians, 2 for Dutch Reformed, 2 for Seceders, 2 for Friends, 1 each for Luthe- rans, Independents, Dunkers,Uni- tarians, and Swedenborgians. A marble monument to the me- mory of General Washington has been recently erected, on an ele- vation at the north end of Charles- Btreet. The base is 50 ft. square, and 23 feet high, on which is ■aTiofhcr sqiiftre of\fl;bo(Tt halftiie ^ B A iN extent and elevation. On this i.4 a lofty column, 20 feet in diameter at the base, and 14 at the top. On the summit of this column, 163 feet from the ground, the sta- tue of Washington is to be placed. The Battle Monument, erected to the memory of those who fell in bravely defending their city from the attack of the British on the 12th and 13th of Sept. 1814, is a handsome structure of stone, situ- ated on a large square in North Caivert-street. The city is generally well built. The houses are chiefly of brick ; many of them are handsome, and some splendid. The principal street is Market or Baltimore street, 8G feet v/ide. It runs nearly east and west, parallel with ihc harbour, and is intersected by oth- ers at right angles. Baltimore is supplied with water taken from the Jones' falls, and conveyed to reservoirs, whence it is distributed to every part of the city. North and East of the city, the land rises to a considerable elevation, from v/hich there is a noble view of the city and harbour. The University of Maryland embraces the departments of lan- guages, arts, sciences, medicine, law, and divinity. The medical department has 7 Professors, and is in a very flourishing state. The professors in the other depart- ments are merely nominal. The buildings have accommodations for 500 students. St. Mary's Col^ lege has a valuable library, a che- mical and philosophical apparatus, and about 150 students. Balti- more college has 2 instructors and about 60 students.

Bangor will be the natural market for a large portion of the interior of Maine. It is a flourishing place, and contains a court-house, bank, and printing office. A Theological Seminary was opened here in 1815, styled "The Maine Charity School." It is under the direction of 2 pro fessors and a preceptor. Its design is to prepare young men for ihe ministry by a shorter course of study than is usual. The qualifi- cations for admission are a kn»w- ledge of English grammar, arith- metic, Latin grammar, and some acquaintance with the Latin class- ics. The term of study is 4 years.

The harbor has a bar at its month, througl which are tAVO channels for sea vessels ; the deepest has 10 feet of water at low tide. The harbor is defended by fort Moultrie on Sullivan's island, and forts Pinck- ney and Johnson. The city is regularly laid out parallel streets, from 35 to 70 feet in width, running from river to river, and intersected by others at right angles. Tlie new houses are of brick, and are many ot them elegant.

Carolina Society, the Fellowship, (Jermaii Friendly, St. Andiews, . Hibernian, Frencli, and Mechan- ics' Societies, all oi' which are well supported, au(' are «iesigned primarily to aid indigent members and their families ; besides these, there are numerous smaller asso- ciations for benevolent piu})oses. — The Medical ('olUge of South Carolina was establishetl in 1824 ; the city corporation granted ^15,000 towards tlic erection of a building ; five courses of lectures are delivered which commence the 2d Monday in January and continue 5 months ; the present number of students is 51. — The Charleston College has been recently revived, a gram- mar school and F.nglish sbhool are connected with it; tlu ofli- eers are a principal, 2 professors, a tutor, and 3 assistant teachers ; no. of scholars in the college 30. grammar school 100, EnglisT sch. 60. — The Ciiarleston ' Librar So- ciety has a w( 11 chosen library of about 13,000 volumes, ahd funds for its regular increase ; Franklin Library and the Appren- tices' Library are respectable in- < li A stitutions.

There are 4 free schools under the patronage often; two others across Mystic ri the State, besides many we ducted private schools. The commerce of Charleston is extensive and flourishing. It imports the foreign goods con- suined in S. Carolina, a consider- able part of N. Carolina, and a part of Georgia. It is connected, by a canal 22 miles long, with Santet! river. In 1S16 it was the Hfth town in the U. States in amount of shipping, the number of tons being 36,473. — The city is regarded as more healthy than any part of the low country in the Southern States, and du-ing the sickly months is the resort of the rich planters from the coun- try and the West Indies. The ci- tizens of Charleston have ever been distinguished for polished manners and unaffected hospital- ity.

The country is fer- tile and salubrious, covered with fine timber, watered by numerous navigable rivers, and sufficiently e.vtensive to support, with proper cultivation, more than a million souls. The number of the Creeks was formerly estimated at 24,000, of whom 6,000 were warriors ; but in their war with the U. S. in 1813-14, they suffered severe loss- es. They now amount to 16,000, and are the most warlike tribe on this side the Mississippi. The Baptists and Methodists have es- tablished missions among them with considerable success.

It is bordered oi>. each side by high mountains Those on tlie eastern shore torn a peninsula between Lake George and Lake Champlain, terminsted at the N. by Mount Defiance. The length ol* Lake George, from Caldwell, at its S. extremity, to the landing at Ticonderoga, is 36 miles. The outlet is 3 m-iles long, and runs at first in a NE. directio)i, descending in a succession of falls 157 feet ; it then turns SE and flows into Lake Champlain, at the foot of Mount Defiance. It is navigable for boats from its mouth to the lower falls, a dis- tance of two miles. The Lake varies in width, from 1 to 4 mile.^. It is studded with numerous small islands, on some of v/hich are found crystals of quartz, of un- common transparency and i)cr- fcction of form. The water also is remarkably pure. The French formerly procured it for religious uses, and hence called the Lake St. Sacrament. The mountains on the borders, rise sometimes to the height of 1200 feet, and fre- qtiently abut upon the water with great grandeur. Rogers' rock is on the W, side of the lake, 2 miles from the out- let. It rises out of the water at an angle of more than AtP, to the height of 300 or 400 feet. The .face of the rock, for more than 100 feet in breadth, is a perfectly L A K slide, reachino- from lop 14iJ smooth to bottom. This rock derives its name from the following incident. During the winter of 1 758, Major Rogers was one of a party whicii was surprised and put to flight by the Indians at the outlet of the Lake. Rogers came alone to the summit of this rock, whither he knew the Indians would ibllow him, by his tracks in the snow, and where he could prevent fur- ther pursuit by a singular strata- gem. Throwing his pack down the precipice, he slipped oft' his snow-shoes, and without changing their position, turned hims<;lf about, and again put them on his feet. Thus equipped, he retreat- ed several rods along the southern brow of the rock. Tlie Indians coming to the spot, went no furth- er, as they saw the two tracks both looking the same way, and apparently made by two persons Avho had came to the preeipice, ter. £,a7n<;^/c,iead mine, Mo. near St Michael's.

There are 30 spermaceti v/orks on the island, employing a capital of |600,000. The town of Nantucket, a port of eniry, and the only town on the island, stands on a harbour, in- cluded within a large bay, stretch- ing along the whole northern side of the island, from Sandy point on the NE. to Eel point oh the W. The bay makes a fine road for ships, except v/ith the wind at NW. when there is a heavy swell. The harbour is completely safe from all winds, being almost land- locked, the points at its entrance approaching within a mile of each other. There is a bar of sand at its mouth on which is only 7 feet water at low tide.

Hart- ford, 134 SW. Boston ; 107 SSE. Albany. It is the capital of the county, and tlie semi-capital of the state. The site of the city is a large plain, encircled on all sides, ex- cept those occupied by the water, by a fine amphitheatre of hills and mountains, several of which present bold and perpendicular fronts, nearly 400 feet in height. The city is regularly laid out, and consists of the Old and New tov/n- ships, in each of v/hich is an open square. That in the old town is called the Green, and is one of the handsomest in the U. States. The public buildings are a state house, the college edifices, 5 churches, 2 for Congre'gational- ists, 1 for Episcopalians, 1 for Methodists, ajid 1 for Baptists. Besides these buildings the town contains a jail, alms-house, cus- tom-house, tontine coffee-house, 3 banks, 2 insurance offices, a grammar school, a Lancasterian school, an academy, and 5 print- in? ofRres, from which a.To is«itic.r| N JE W 194 Qi E W 4 weekly newspapers, a religioufc monthly magazine, and the Amer- ican Journal of Science and Arts. The houses are generally built of wood, in a neat and commodi- ous, but not an expensive style. Several of those recently erected, however, are elegant and stately edifices of brick. The principal streets are ornamented withtrees, and most of the houses are fur- ziished with a piece of ground in the rear, sufficient for a garden and fruit trees, giving to the city a rural and pleasant appearance. The burying-ground in the N. corner of the town is laid out on a plan entirely new. The field is dJTided into parallelograms, which are subdivided into family buvying-placea. The ground is planted with trees ; the monu- ments are almost universally of marble, and a considerable num- ber are obelisks. An exquisite taste for propriety ie discovered in every thing belonging to it ; and the whole has a solemn and im- pressive appearance. The harbour is well defended from winds, but is shallow, and s^radually filling up with mud. This difficulty has beeu remedied m part .^y the construction of a wharf nearly a mile in length, ex- tending into the harbour. The depth of water on the bar, at low water, is 6 or 7 feet. Common tides rise 6 feet, and sprmg tides 7 or 8. New Haven has inter- course by steamboats and packets with New York. The Farming- ton canal will soon open an ex- tensive navigable communication with the interior. See Farming- ton canal. The amount of ship- ping in 1816, was 12,439 tons. Pop. ofthecitv in 1810,5,772; in 1820, 7,147, and including the township, 8,326, Yale College, in this place, is one of the oldest and most re- spectable Colleges in the United States. It was founded in 1700. The board of trustees consists of ten fellows ; together with the governor of the state, the lieuten- ant governor, and six senior mem- bers of the senate, ex qfficiis. The faculty, in 1825, was composed of a president, 10 professors, inclu- ding the theological and medical professors ^ a librarian ; and 8 tu- tors. The college library con- tains 8000 volumes, chiefly of classical, scientific, historical, and theological works. The literary societies among the students also have libraries, containing togeth- er .%00 volumes, principally in English literature. The cabinet of minerals, the richest and most complete in the U. States, was deposited here in 1811 by George Gibbs, Esq. and generously loan- ed by him from that period till 1825. At this time it was pur- chased by the college i a suffi- cient sum of money having been obtained, chiefly by the contribu- tions of individuals. There are9 College edifices, 7 of which stand in a line fronting the green, on the W. side. The lyceum occu- pies the centre of the line, having on the S. two halls for students between which is the athenaeum, and on the N. two halls for stu- dents betv/een which is the chapel. The four halls for students aro four stories high ; each contains 32 suites of rooms, and each suite of rooms accommodations for two students. The chapel, besides a, place for public worship, contains the college library and 8 rpqmrs JNKW iqi" tlieological students. ms Tv il' W The ly- ceum contains recitation rooms and a rhetorical hall. In the athenaeum are the philosophical apparatus and lecture room, the society libraries and a reading room. In rear of the line are the laboratory, and a stone edifice fo a dining hall, the upper floor of which is appropriated to the min- eralogical cabinet." The medical department was established in 1B13. It has 4 professors, and a spacious stone edifice in which are a valuable anatomical museum and a medical library, a lecture room, and rooms for students. The theological department of the college was enlarged in 1822, by the appointment of a profess- or of didactic theology. Instruc- tion in tliis department is also given by a lecturer in sacred lit- erature, and by the professors of divinity aid rhetoric in the col- lege. The whole number of stu- dents in 1825, was 470; namely, 75 medical, 23 theological, 16 law students, and 356 undergraduates. In 1823, the whole number of graduates amounted to 4,171, of whom 3,752 were alumni. Of the latter there were then living2,075, a greater number than from any other college in the United States.

On the streets near the river the houses are principal- Iv of brick, but in the back part of the town, of wood. Among the public buildings are an arsenal, custom-house, hospital, 4 Lancas- terian schools, a catholic college, female orphan asylum, 2 theatres, 5 banks, and several chuiches.for Catholics, Presbyterians, and Episcopalia»s. There are 5 news- papers published in the city, 3 of which are in Englisi., and the oth- er 2 in both French and English. New Orleans is admirably situ- ated for trade, near the mouth of a noble river whose branches ex- tend for thousands of miles in dif- ferent directions. The river in front of the city is crowded with boats from a thousand different places in the " upper country ;" from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri ; from Ohio, and even rom Pennsylvania and New York. In 1325, the value of exports v/as 120,972,813, of v.'hich cotton constituted |15,241,?75. There entered in the district in 1823, 133,349 tons. The aniount of shipping belonging to the port in 1816, v/as 13,299 tons. In 1823, there were 63 steam-boats on the western waters connected with the commerce of this city, meas- uring together about 14,000 tons. The island of Orleans is about 160 miles long, and from 3 to 50 broad. A levee or artificial mound is erected along the side towards the Mississippi, to prevent inun- dation.— In December 1814, the ilv H w 1518 ^ K VV 'Brltisli made an attack oti New Orleans, but were repulsed by the Americans under General Jack- son, with the loss of about 3,000 men, killed, wounded, and prison ers.

It is of a semi-circular form, of safe and easy access, sufficiently capacious to contain a large fleet, and deep enough for vessels of the largest l)urden. It is defended by Port Wolcott, erected on Goat island, and by Forts Adams and Green. On Goat island is a l^ . S. military hospifal. The site of the town is a beau- tiful declivity, Avhich rises gradu* ally from the harbour, presenting a fine view as you approach it from the water. The beauty of its sit- uation, and the salubrity of its cli- mate, have made it a place of fashionable resort from the south- ern and middle states duringfthe summer months. The public buildings are a state-house, mar- ket-house, theatre, alms-house, library, 5 banks, 2 insurance com-- panics, and 11 churches, 4 for Baptists, 2 for Congregationalists, 1 for Episcopalians, 1 for Friends, 1 for Moravians, 1 for Methodists^ and 1 for Jews. Newport has some trade with the East Indies, Europe, and Cu- ba, but is chiefly engaged in the coasting trade. In 1819, the a- mount of shipping was 10,951 tons. Tlie fisheries are very val- uable ; probably no fish market in the world affords a greater varie- ty.

A branch also crosses the Mohawk on its surface and joins the Erie canal in Water- vliet. The length of the canal, including the improved natural navigation, is 64 miles. It is 40 foet wide on the surface, and in other respects of the same dimen- sions with the Erie canal. The amount of lockage is 84 feet. Tiic surface of the Hudson at Water- section extends from Rome tOjford, is 24 feet above that of th Albany, 113 miles: through this lak distance the level of the canal uniformly descends ; and the whole descent is 419 feet. The amount of lockage is therefore 662 feet, and the difference level between lake Erie and t!it Hudson 564 feet. The delay oc casioned at the locks between Rome and Albany, has suggested the expediency of either a double set of locks, or a parallel canal along the whole of this section The canal is 44 feet wide (in the middle section 40) on the surlacc 28 at the bottom, and 4 feet deep It was commenced on the 4th of Julv 1817, and completed Oct 26th, 1825. The Champlain canal was com- menced 10th June 1818, and com- pleted '28th iNJovember 1822. Com- mencing at Whitehall on lake Champlain, it proceeds 6 miles ^ Wood creek. The channel of the creek is here made use of for about 7 miles, and the canal then proceeds to the Hudson at Fort Edward. Between Fort Edward and Saratoga, a distance of 11 miles, the channel of the Hudson iifnt present made rrw of, except' The debt due on the canals Jan. 1826, was ^7,737,000, the aggregate interest on which is ^i^4 19,000. The rccei[)ts from of tolls, vendue sales, and salt du- ties, in 1825, was ^820,000. In their report of Jan. 1825, the commissioners anticipate that the canal del)t will be extinguished within the space often years.

The island is 15 miles long, and on an average one and a half broad ; and is separat- ed from New Jersey by the Hud- son ; from the continental part of New- York by Haerlem river ; from Long Island by East river, and from Staten Island by New York harbour. The ground in the centre of the island is ele- vated and elopes gradually tb f be water. The city is illy pro- vided with sewers. An odious custom prevails of throwing the filth and waste waters into the ?5treets. The air, in hot weather, is thus rendered extremely of- fensive, and is a sufficient cause of disease, notwithstanding the natural salubrity of the place. Another and the greatest evil, af- fecting the health of the city, is the general want of pure water. The compact part of the city <" :sf B vv raviane 1, Swedenborgians 1, Je'WS 1, and Seamen 1. The New York Hospital com- prises the hospital for the recep- tion of the sick and disabled, and the lying-m hospital. The annual expenditure is about |40,000. The number of patients admitted in 1825, was 142. A valuable medi- cal library of about 3,000 volumes is attached to the institution. The Lunatic asylum, completed 1821, stands on a fine eminence, 7 miles is at the S. end of the island, and|N. of the City hall.

The National Cibte Sofitef v Wsr*? organized in 1816. In 1822, a building wcis completed, com- prising a warehouse, bindery, and printing-office, at an expense of $22,000 dollars. — The American Tract Society, organized in 1825, is composed of members of vari- ous religious denominations. A large and convenient edifice is just completed, the expense of which is defrayed by individuals in the city. Columbia College, formerly caled King's College, was estab- lished in 1754. It is accommo- dated with a spacious edifice, and has a president, 5 professors, 140 students, a library of 3,000 or 4,000 volumes, a valuable philo sophicai apparatus, and an annual revenue of more than $-4,000, The college of Physicians and Surgeons is provided with a build- ing. It has 7 professors, and is one of the most respectable and flourishing medical institutions in the count'ry. The Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church was established in 1820. A build- ing is now going up on a beauti- ful site upon the bank of the Hud- son, at Greenwich village. In- struction is given by 4 professors. The number of students in 1822 was 22. The New York Institution is in the rear of the City Hall Its apartments are occupied by the Literary and Philosophical So- ciety, the Historical Society the American Academy of the Fine Arts, the Lyceum of Natii- ral History, the American Muse- um, and the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb. — The New York His- torical .Society has a library of J(KQOO vohimes, embracing ina.ny 28,> IS D W rare and valuable works. Anuang the literary institutions not alrea- dy enumerated, are the American Academy of languages and belles lettres : the New Vork Society library containing about 16,000 volumes ; the Mechanics' Associ- ition before which lectures are delivered on science, the mechan- ic arts, and trade; the Appren- tices' library containing upwards of 5,f)00 volumes ; the New York Atheneeum recentlv established ; also, several academies, and nu- merous common schools, a Free School Society, and a Wesleyao Seminary for' the instruction of both sexes. — There are published 9 daily, 7 serai-weekly, and 6 or 7 weekly newspapers, and seve- ral weekly literary papers. — The discipline and whole arrange- ments of the fire department are not surpassed in any city in the United States. — New York contains 15 banks, 36 insurance companies, a custom-house, aa immense exchange, 10 market- houses, one of which, the Fuiton market, for size, convenience, and beauty, is said to be superior to any market in Europe ; 2 large circuses, the Park and Chatham theatres, and Ca tl and other public gardens.

It I flows in a S\V. direction for 945! miles, separating Oino and India- na, from Virginia and Kentucky, and falls into the Mississippi 193 m. below the Missouri, in N. lat. 370 and W. Ion. 88°. The dis- tance from Pittsburg in a direct line to the mouth of the Ohio is only 614 miles. The river varies in breadth from 400 to 1 ,400 yards. At Cincinnati, it is about 800 yards, which may be regaided as the mean breadth. Its current is very gentle, and no where broken by any considerable falls, except- ing at Louisville. The water there descends 22 feet in 2 miles, producing a very rapid current ; yet boats have notwithstanding frequently ascended. A canal around these rapids has long been in contemplation. The difference between high and low water on the Ohio is usually about 50 feet, and some- times 60 feet. When lowest, it may be forded in several places above Louisville. The greatest depression is generally in August, September, and October; the greatest rise in December, March, May, and June.

Otter tail rises near the sources of the Mississippi and flowing W. 150 miles receives the Sioux, which issues from lake Travers near St. Peter's river. The united stream flows N. and crosses the 49th de- gree of N. lat. the boundary of the U. States, just N. of the vil- lage of Pembina. Red River, r. which enters the Hi: Mississippi from the W. in 910 45' ^. lat. 31° 5' N. It is navigable to the great raft about 500 miles. Of its sources we are as yet ignorant. The Raijo was commonly supposed to be its prin- cipal branch, but the expedition to the Rocky mountains under Major Long has proved this opin- ion to be erroneous. A detach- ment of this expedition was to have descended Red river and finding a considerable stream to the S. of the Raijo, they followed it down, assured by the Indians also that it was the river of which they were in quest. It led them, however to the Arkansas, and proved to be Canadian river. By this mistake, they ascertained that the Raijo of Humboldt is no other thin a N. branch of the Canadian, and the sources of Red river, it is now supposed, must be looked for on the high plains con- siderably to the South.

Richmond,the metropolis of Va. is in Henrico co. on the N. side of James river, immediately below the falls, and directly opposite Manchester, vi^ith which it is con- nected by two bridges. The sit- uation is healthy, as well as highly picturesque and beautiful. A part of the city is built on the margin of the river; the rest upon Shockoe hill, which over- looks the lower part of the city» and commands an extensive and delightful prospect of the river and adjacent country. Richmond is finely situated fot a commercial and manufacturing city, being at the headof tide wa- ter, and having an extensive back country, abounding with tobacco^ wheat, and coal. The value of the produce exported from Rich- mond and Manchester is about |8,000,000 annually. Shipping in 1816, 9,943 tons. James river is navigable for vessels of 250 tons to Vvarwick, and for those of 125 to Rockets, a mile below Rich- mond. The state-house or capitol is built m a commanding situation on Shockoe hill. The design was taken from La maison Quaree at Nimes, but the execution falls greatly short of the original.

America, which rises near the sources of the Mississip pi, and passing through the great lakes Superior, Huron, Erie, and Ontvio, falls into the gulf of St. Lawrence by a mouth 90 miles wide. In difterent parts of its course, it is known by different names. From the sea to lake On- tario, it is called the St. Law- rence ; between lake Ontario and Jake Eric, Aiagara river ; between .lake Erie and lake St. Clair, the Detroit ; between lake St. Clair and lake Huron, the river St. Clair ; between lake Huron and lake Superior, the St. Mary-form S A [ and extends along the river about 2 miles. It is divided by 7 streets, 3 on the lower and 4 on the upper bank, parallel with the river, and crossed by others at right angles. St. Louis contains a land-office, 2 banks, a museum, in which is an extensive coflection of Indian cu- riosities ; 3 printing-offices, each of which issues a weekly newspa- per; a seminary, called the St. Louis college ; and 2 churches, 1 for Roman Catholics, and 1 for Baptists. Measures are taken for the erection of a Presbyterian church. The college is under the care of the Bishop, who is assist- ed by 3 professors. The library, which is the property of the bish- op, contains about 8,000 volumes. The number of students in 1324, was 67. No inland town in the world is more advantageously situated for commerce than St. Louis. It is near the point where several of the largest rivers in America unite ing thus an uninterrupted con jtheir waters. It is the natural nexion for 2,000 miles.

Susquehan^- 'h river, one of the largest rivers in the United States, is formed by the union of two principal branches, the eastern and western. The eastern branch rises in Otsego lake, NY. and running SW. receives the Tioga near the Pennsylvania boundary. it then flows first SE. and then SW. till it receives the western branch at Northumberland, after which the course of the river is first S. and then SE. till it falls into the head of Chesapeake bay near the NE. corner of Maryland. During the last 50 miles of its course the navigation of the river is obstructed by an almost con- tinued series of rapids, but fur- ther up, to the union of the two branches, there is no obstruction which cannot be surmounted at a moderate expense.

Mount Washington is fre- quently visited by travellers who ascend it by various routes, but most usually from the SE. com menciiig in the town of Conway, and following the course of Saco river, which has its origin high in the mountain. After climbing up the side of the mountain for a considerable distance, the trees begin to diminish in height, till at the elevation of about 4,000 feet, you come to a region of dwarfish evergreens, about the height of a mail's head, putting forth nu- merous strong horizontal branches machine, grist-miii, and saw-mili.

Middletown, Ct. The American literary, scientific, and military academy, under the superinten- dence of Capt. A. Partidge, was removed to this city in August, 1825. Instruction is given by the principal, 9 professors, and 10 instructors and assistant in- structors. The course of study includee any period from one to nix years, and comprises the usual branches taught in collescs and academies, together with those requisite for a thorough know- ledge of the military art. The buildings are situated on the high grounds, west of the city. They are constructed of free stone, and are sufficient for the accommoda- tion of 250 cadets. The number of cadets in 1826, was 289. The whole number educated since the establishment of the institution in 1820, is 480. For the purposes of health and improvement in va- rious practical duties of the sol- dier, the cadets perform a march aa a military corps, at least once a year ; besides other tours, made by detachments. In these excur- sions, the elevation of most of the principal mountains in New -Eng- land and New York, has been as- certained. The whole distance which has thus been travelled, is about 1500 miles. Many of the cadets walk with ease, 40 miles a day. jYeio Utrecht, Add, Pop. 1,009. Onondaga. Erase, "A canal leads from this village, 4 miles, to the Erie canal at %racuse."

The breadth of the river at the top, from bank to bank, is only about 50 feet. On the margin of the St. Lawrence, just above the mouth of the Montmorenci, are the extensive saw-mills of Mr Patterson.

Among |tlie public institutions, are the jHotel Dieu, established in 1644, iil7 for the purpose of administering relief to the destitute sick, and conducted by a superior and 3G nuns, who attend and nurse the patients ; the convent of No- tre Dame, composed of a superior and 60 sisters, for the instruction of females in all the necessary branches of their education ; the general hospital, or convent of the Gray Sisters, a refuge for invalids and the aged poor. The seminary of St. Sulpice is a very respectable institution, establish- ed by the French in 1657 ; it has several able professors, and a considerable number of students. A new college has been recentiy erected, as an appendage to the seminary, at an expense of more than 10,000^. The cathedral church in the Place d'Armes, is a large substantial stone building, in which no great taste is dis- played, the height not being in due proportion. A new cathe- dral, was commenced in 1824. It is an immense stone edifice, 255 feet by 134. The other churches are the St. James, and the Bon Secour, belonging to the Catho- lics, the Protestant Episcopal church ; 2 belonging to the church of Scotland, 1 Methodist, and 1 Presbyterian churches. The English college received its charter in 1824. It was found- ed by the Hon. James M'Gill, who died in 1814, and bequeathed 10,000^ besides a handsome real estate, for endowing the college, provided it should be erected within 'lOTlWwtj. Inconsequence of the bequest having been con- tested, this establishment is not yet in actual operation. The court-house in Notre Dame-street, is a plain handsome building.

From Cape Diamond, the ridge slopes towards the north, till it reaches the valley through which the St. Charles runs. The town is di- vided into two \ ' - ts, namely, the Upper and Lower. The Upper town is separated from the Lower by a line of steep rocks, which runs from the cape towards the river St. Charles. It is surround- ed by a strong wall with 5 gates. The Lower to^vn is situated im- mediately under cape Diamond. The communication from the Lower to the Upper town is by winding streets. The greater proportion of the houses are built of stone, with high sloping roofs. The principal public build- ings are the castle of St. Louis, the Hotel Dieu, the convent of the Ursulines, the monastery of the Jesuits, now turned into bar- racks, the Protestant and Catho- lic cathedrals, the Scots church, St. John's or the Presbyterian church, 2 Methodist chapels, the Lower town church, the court- house, the bank, the seminary, the new jail, and the artillery barracks.

A Bljoal extends more than half across the mouth of the harbour, and the channel for vessels lies close to the walls of the fort. The town is regularly, laid out, and contains, the Parliament House, Govern- ment House, a large and hand- some hospital lately erected, a provincial bank,Episcopal church, and several handsome brick dwelling-houses.

This canal opens a sloop navigation across tJi'e peninsula, from the mouth of Twelve mile creek in lake Ontario, ill a SW. direction to the mouth of Grand river in lake Erie, where a harbour is to be constructed. The ditference of level batv/een til's two lakes is 334 feet, and this is overcome by 35 locks. Lake Eri"^ Is to be the feeder of the canal through its whole extent. Winnipiseogee and Piscataqua canal. The route of this canal i?; from the mouth of Merrymeeting river, at the southern extremity o Winnipiseogee lake, to the Cocheco branch of the Piscataqua, hn- low the landing iu Dover. The route was surveyed iu the summer of 1825, and a subscription has been opened within a few months for the whole stock. • Merrimack and Cojinecticui. The route of a canal from the Merrimack to the Connecticut, through Sunopee lake, was surveyed in 1816, and found to be impracticable> at a less expense thUn 42,000,000; the amount of lockage necessary being 1600 fe€t. Another route has been recently proposed, from Plymouth up the valley of Baker's river, and down the valley of Oliverian river, to Haverhill. The lockage on this route, it is supposed, would not bti more than 500 feet. Chconplain and Connecticut. Commissioners, appointed for tlm purpose, at a meeting of citizens in June 1B25, in Montpelier, have reported that a canal is practicable from lake Champlain, throii!?'h the valley of Onion river, to the Connecticut. They propose that it should commence at Burlington, and proceed up the valley ot' Onion river to INIontpelier, which is elevated 394 feet above the level of lake Champlain. From Montpelier to the Connecticut-, three routes have been proposed, viz. 1. the northern route, through Peacham, and down the valley of Wells river; 2. the middle roure, through Barre and WiUiamstown, and thence to the mouth of White river ; 3. the southerH route, u,p the valley of Dog river, and through Koxbury, to the mouth of White river. The lockage on the first oi" these routes, including that from lake Champlain to Montpelier. -villbe 2189 feet ; on the second, 1243 ; and on the third 1451. On the third route there are very few obstacles to encounter ; the com- missioners seem inclined to prefer this, on the whole, to either of the other. Memphremagog and Connecticut. Several routes have been pvcr- posed for the canal, but the one which is preferred, as present in^^ the fewest obstacles, is from lake Memphremagog, up the valley ot* Clyde river, nearly to the source of that stream, thence down thti valley of Nulhegan river to the Connecticut. The lockage on thi*? route will be only 791 feet, while ©n the route by Barton and l*as-, sumpsic rivers, it will be 1278 feet, and on that by Black river and .I'or's brook, 2245. rjimnrtinfn and Offrr canal This canal AviTl j^o'-qp^ rrcTn Rjir'r land, on Otter creek, in Vermont, through Casiletpn, to WhitfihuJI, at the head of lake Champlain, in New York. It will open a Uoat navigation by canal and creek, of about 76 miles, into one of tlie finest districts in Vermont. Middlesex. See Middlesex canal in the Gazetteer. Cape Cod canal. Two routes have been proposed for a sloop canal across the isthmus of Cape Cod; one from the mouth of Back river, in Buzzard's bay, to the mouth of Scusset river on Barnstable bay, a distance of 7 miles ; and the other from Barnstable harbour, to Hyannus harbour. To the first of these routes, there appear to be insurmountable objections, arising from the shoals on Buzzard's bay, near its entrance^ and the want of a harbour of the Barnstable side. On the second route there is a harbour at each end of the ca- nal ; but a great obstacle here is the height of the intermediate ground, requiring a lockage of 1G9 feet. Boston and JVarraganset canal. The route of "this proposed Cic- nal commences at Weymouth landing, in Boston harbour,^ and pro- ceeding m a southerly direction to Taunton, at the head of sloop navigation, on Taunton river, 20 miles from its entrance into Nar- raganset bay. Boston and Hudson r. The ^commissioners appointed by the legislature of Massachusetts, to survey a route for a canal from Boston harbour to Hudson river, made a report at their last session, (Feb. 1826,) accompanied by an engraved plan of the route, which they recommend. This route commences on Boston neck, and passes' through Brookline, Brighton, Watertown, Waltham, We.s- ton, Lincoln, Sudbury, Acton, Littleton, Groton, Shirley, Lunen- burgh, Leominster, !Fitchburg, Ashburnham, Winchendon, and the valley of Miller's river, to the Connecticut. Thus far the route ha*s been accurately surveyed, and the expense to this point ^is estimated, at 3,000,000 dollars. The lockage between Boston and the Con- necticut will be 1959 feet. From the Connecticut it is! proposed to continue the canal through the valleys of Deerfield andHoosacrJ vers, to the Hudson, a distance of 78 miles. Lockage of this par- of the route 1322 feet; expense ^3,023,172, of which $920,832 is for a tunnel, 4 miles long, through Hoosac mountain. Hampshire and Hampden canal. Route': from Northampton c,n Connecticut river, through Westfield to Southwick, on the Con- necticut line, where it will unite with the Farmington canal, vj^hicTi leads on to New Haven. The canal is not yet commenced. Blackstone canal. Route : from tide water at Providence, to Woouso|jett falls, in Blackstone river near the Massachusetts line» and thence up the valley of the Blackstone, to Worcester. It is expected that this canal "will be completed, and opened for naviga- rion this year (1826.) Farmington canal. See this article in Gazetteer. Erie and Hudson canal. See JVew York in Gazetteer.

CQnfmences tnlhf KoiMout creak, 2 ami a lialf miles from Kino^stQii, N. Y. and 3 miles ifiom the Hudson, and proceeds up the valley of the Rondout, anil down that of the Neversink, to the Delaware, which it enters 20 miles below the mouth of the Lackawaxen. The distance from the Hudson to the Delaware on the canal line, is 64 miles, and the InckWge 616 feet. The whole of this section is to be completed by the 1st of October, 182'6. From the junction with the Delaware, tlig p j canal. The distance in which the navigation is interrupted is only ' e'fght miles, and terminates at LewisJown, ^yhere sloops from t"h'e ,\ Ipwer lake arrive. Efie and St. Lawrence. Three routes have been recently surveyeTl fi;omthe Erie canal to the St. Lawr,ence, at Ogdensburgh ; 1. from Herkimer, the valley of Black river; 2. from Rome, by Boonville ; 3, from Rome, by Camden. The lockage on the first is 1831 feti.t ; on the second, 1587, and on the third, 535. The last we presume will be preferred, and we have therefore given its length and ranch of the south brmch of Elizabeth river, 7 miles above Xoriolk, through the Dismal Swamp, to Joyce's creek, which discharges it- Slelf into the Pasquotank, 30 miles from its mouth in Albemarle a)und. The canal receives an abundant supply of water through a feeder 3 and a half miles long, leading from lake Drummond, a na- tural reservoir in the centre of the swamp, 15 miles in circumference, and about 6 feet higher than the level of the canal. The descent to the tide of each extremity of the canal is effected by a pair of locks of 16 feet lift. The Congress of the U. States have recently sub- scribed for 600 shares of the canal stocks, amounting to ^150,000 to enable the company to enlarge the width and depth of the work to correspond with those of the Chesapeake and Delaware, and thfc Delaware and Raritan canals. Santee canal. This canal, which was completed in the year 1S02> connects the Santee with Cooper river, and brings the trade of the itdrthera part of the state, and a large section of North Carolina, di- rectly to the city of Charleston, and removing the neces.sity of a circjiitous and iaconvenient voyage down the Santee, and along the sea-shore. Florida canal. Two routes have been proposed for a sloop canal across the isthmus of the Florida peninsula. The northern rout * eiomraenceson the Atlantic at the mouth of the St. Mary's, whicli ibrms the boundary between Georgia and Florida, and proceeds up the channel of that river nearly to its source ; thence, b\ an inde- pendent canal about 18 miles long to the Suwaney, which it meets iu the upper part of its course ; and thence, down the channel of the Suwaney to the gulf of Mexico. The southern route proceeds up the St. Johns and one of its branches, and then across by an inde- pendent canal of 12 miles, to a branch of the Suwaney. On each of these routes the dis^ice from the Atlantic to the gulf of Mexico is about 90 miles ; and the cutting, as we have stated, only 12 miles by one route, and 18 by the other. For a ship channel, however, 24 or perhaps 36 maybe required. This canal will save, by a short cut, a navigation of 1200 miles around the peninsula of Florida. Teiirvessee and Alabama canal. Tliis contemplated canal is in- tended to connect the waters of Tennessee river with those of the Alabama, and the gulf of Mexico. This communication is to com- mence at the mouth of the Hiwassee river, a SE. branch of the Ten- «iegsee, a beautiful stream, 3190 yards wide, navigable 40 miles, to *he CRilhowereinountafiv. ^lx mijes brlow wh^rf; fhr; HIg^3va5s^p APPEiNDIX. ;i3-> kaves the mountains, is the mouth of the Gcoah, gr Okoa, a branch of the Highwassee, navigable for boats of any burden 4 miles from, its mouth, to the shoal at Hildebrand's mills, just below which, the Uniting canal, which is wholly in the state of Tennessee, conir mences, and is to be continued along a level well timbered valley, parallel with Chilhowee mountain, 4 miles W. of it, between 8 and 10 miles, to the Canasaga, a deep rapid stream, 40 yards wide, course SW. which, 26 miles below the entrance of the canal, unites with Coosawater river, and their mingled waters take the name of Eastanalla river ; which, with Hightowah, form Coosa river. From this point to the Ten Islands, in Coosa river, about 100 miles, the river is deep, and its navigation unobstructed ; thence to the nearly Cypress shoals, is 60 miles. These shoals will require a canal of 2 miles. Tlrence to its junction with the Tallapoosa, the Coosa is of easy navigation. These two riiers united form the Alabama, whicli unites w^ith the Tombigbee, and together pour their waters into Mo- bile bay, and the gulf of Mexico. Lovdsville curtd Portland canal. A company incorporated by the Kentucky legislature have entered into a contract with a number of xespectable men who have engaged to complete a canal of the di- mensions mentioned in the table, around the falls of the Ohio at Louisville, in October 1827, for |370,000. The canal must be dug in some places to a depth of 27 feet. The fall at low water js about 22 feet, and will require three locks of dimensions sufficient to pass ships of 400 ton^. Ohio a7xd Erie canal. The route of this canal commences at Portsmouth, on the Ohio, at the mouth of the Scioto, and proceeds up that valley to the mouth of Big Belly or Walnut creek, ten miles below Columbus ; thence, up the valley of "Walnut creek to the Licking summit. From this summit the route proceeds down the valley of Licking, to the mouth of the Rocky fork of Licking, and thence across to the valley of the Tomaka, down which it proceeds nearly to the junction of the Tomaka with the Muskingum. From this point the level of the canal begins ±o ascend, and the route pro- ceeds up the valley of the Muskingum and the Tuscarawas, one cf its branches to the portage between the Tuscarawas and the Cuya-- hoga, across which it proceeds, 5 miles, to the Cuyahoga river, and down the valley of that river to Cleaveland on lake Erie. For tlie last six miles it is proposed to make use of the bed of the river by a tow-path alang the bank. — The lockage in ascending from lake Erie to the Portage summit, is 395 feet ; in decending from that summit to the Tomaka, 229 feet ; in ascending from Tomaka river to the Licking summit 152 feet \ in descending from that summit to the ' Ohio, 408 feet. — The Erie and Ohio canal was commenced on the I^th of July, 1825. It is expected that about 50 miles of the line, embracing the part nearest lake Eric, will be completed in the fall I of 1826, and the remainder in the course of two or three years after- wards. It is estimated that the revenue from tolls immediately af- ter the completion of the v/hole line, will amount to 4 per cftn^. oji the cost, ?nd to 6 ger cent, witljin five years aff^f. 536 APF.Ki\OU- Ohio and Mad riHer canal. The line of this canal commences on Mad river, one mile above its confluence with the Miami at Dayton-, iind proceeds down the Miami valley, on the eastern side of the river — through Middletown to Hamilton, and then bears off from the river iii a south-easterly direction, and passes into the valley of ]\lill creek, and thence to Cincinnati, where it terminates in a large basin, from which boats will descend, by locks, 1(]3 feet, to the <5hio. It is intended to let the waters of the Miami into the canal at Middletown and bring them to Cincinnati for hydraulic purposes. It is estimated that sufficient water can be obtained in this way to keep in- constant operation 60 pairs of 4 and a half feet mill-stones, and that the water rents will yield an annual revenue of ^0,000. 'J?he canal is to be completed in 1827, and when in full operation it Is estimated that it will yield a revenue of 6 per cent. The legis- lature of Ohio propose to extend this canal at some future day, from Dayton, through the valleys of the Miami, Loramies creek, Auglaize and Maumeo, to lake Erie. The line of a canal on this route ha^ been surveyed by able engineers, who pronounce the work practl* c.able. The whole length of a canal from the Ohio to lake Erie on this roJte would be 290 miles, the amount of lockage 889 feet, and the expense 3,221,000 dollars. Chesapeake and Erie canal. The route of this canal will ccurN mence on the tide waters of the Chesapeake and proceed up the valley of the Potomac nearly to the source of that river, and thence i^p\\^ either the valley of Cheat river or the Youghiogeny to tht; ^Tonongahela, and down the Monongahela valley to Pittsburg- From Pittsburg it is proposed to descend the valley of the Ohio to the mouth of the Big Beaver, and thence to ascend the valley of the Big Beaver, pass near Conneaut lake, and descend to the mouth or Klk creek on lake Erie. Maumee and Wabash ctinal. Congress in 1824 authorized tbe state of Indiana to cut a canal through the public lands from tT\p navigable waters of the Wabash to those of the Maumee, which empties into lake Erie. T^e^^ill requires that the survey should be completed in three years, arid the canal in twelve. ^fichigan and Illinois canal. It has been proposed to cut a cau^l from the shore of Lake Michigan, near Chicago, to the ftfot of the lower rapids of the Illinois, near the mouth of Vermillion river, a dfstance of 90 miles. Below these rapids to the mouth of the Illi'* nois, the river is deep, its current gentle, and the navigation unob- structed through the year. Those acquainted with the country sav that there are apparently no obstacles in the way of the proposea c,anal. The ground gradually descends from the lake ; the whole descent is not more than 60 or 70 feet, and the line could be fed from the lake'.through its whole length. It is supposed that the expense vv'ould not esceed 1,00.0,0.00 dollar.^. No accutate snt-vey, however, ■ITS ret h.ep,n made. TT-TE E^O-. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS mil ;: 1 1 011 290 704 A %
