Sawyers :re also bodies of trees, -less firmly : fixed, yielding tm the pressure- of the current, ap pcaring and disappearing alternately. The rapidity of the Mississippi continually under minding th banks, causing whole acres to cave in at once, bring with them the largest forest trees,rendersimpracticaleny attempts at removing thescthrprincipal danjttrsof the navigation. ;Bul like philosophers, we pro wled by adversity; ourdetentions enabled u's to explore the Indiana Territory, Tennes see, Upper and Lower Louisiana, the Missis sippi Territory, and West Florida, to a con siderable extent. Wild turkies, ducks, geese, pheasants, pelicanes, and paroquets of a beau tiful plumage, fell at wr deadly shots ; and codfish, not inferior in quality to our' rock, weighing from !7 to 133 pounds, afforded us a daily repast.' -The soil of Upper Louisiana is nuh beyond conception ; in many places it was allowed by several Kentuckians to be trie manure for their first rate land, aud m that state except immediately on the banks of the water courtet, coi 11 and sand command the same arice ; at Wilkinkonvi'.le we saw 40 warriors of the Shawanesc, Delawarcs, Chtrokees, and Scionts, psintt-d and e'iilp. cd for battle, preparing to go to war against the.
