Thin iMitnct extend from north to outb thro' the whole State of Tennessee, being bounded on the couth by the Stat, tif MisiMippVoa.O)e east by-the Tennessee River, oh' the , north by Ken tucky, and on the west by the river Mississip pi, There is' a, nnpo of hill ext nding through it from north to south, dividing1 tlie water of the Tenneee from those of Uie Mississippi. . Tbese hills are, in geneial, much nearer tlie former than the latter river. -The principal stream that flow from the dividing ridge to the Tennessee, is the Sandy. Those flowing from it to the Misaiti.nui are the Obion. LF-orked Deer, Hatch ie and Wolf,, which, wiui tlieir branr.bes, ara wivmahlr for Isuul-boata almost to the foot of Ihe ni'ge. Settlements were nrst made in tm countrv in 1820. Iiieli have ever since been, and still are. constantly and (considering the vatt quanti. ot lands every where in the, marttcLj pretty raniuiy increasing, ( lie District, is divided into seventeen counties, all of wluch are organized for the tranaction of business, thouija the settlements, except 111 Madison and Henry counties, are very scattering; the greatest portion ot the lands being unoc cupied and now- lor- sale at yery moderate prices by the landholders, or their agents in this country.--On account of the tiutny out lets to the produce of the country, by means i us numerous navigauie aireauia,; 11 win robably never coutain any very large com mercial towns. The town of Jackson, situa ted in Madison county, near the head of tlie navigation of the Forked Deer, and the town of Parts in Henry county, are now tlie largest the District, snd are both places ol con siderable trade. They each contain between six and seven hundred, inhabitants.

They Consist of mounds of earth, called 'a ere Indian Monndav Tbe mott remarkable are Mount Pinion and those in it nighbourhood, ituated in a level eounirv. fim oiirht to twelve mile above Jackson, and from one fourth of a mile to one mile and half from Forked Deer. The elevation of Mount Pinaon (a 1 was informed by gentleman living near it) was taken by Judge Mnrphey, when he was in this country, and ascertained to be 78 feet. U appear nearly round to ward its base, and it ao Keep, it ii with difficulty that, by the help of tree tt shrubs growing upon iu tide, one can ascend to it lumrtyu The top of thi mound is table land, 60.-feet aqnare.

These ore united at the base, and are of o conical form,t resembling, two stack of hay placed adjacent to each other. The auminit of all these mounds, except tha twin nif"ds, are table laud of a square or oblong tormt md, what ia very remarkable, the line by which they are bounded all vary exactly tw enty five degree from the cardinal point. .I.- . it ...... wis siues ana tops vm an 01 luvin arc urge trees, apparently the same age with ,i,. tli ronntrv must be healihlul: and ht-d'-ve there is no PorttOD of the southern I country w invaded l the growth ot tlie auiroundiiur xiountrv.

All these things lead an obsen er to suppose thai these may haye been fortifications. About one mile and a half from Mount Pinson, on the plantation of Col. Thomas Henderson, late of Raleigli, are two mounds about 00 yards apart, and about teet high: one of which ia 150 and the other 60 teet quart.

Such .ha seen the want ot curiosity omong the settlers of thi country, that few, if any of them, have been opened, Some suppose them to have been cenietnes, while ottien assert, (but 1 cannot vouch for the ioct,) that one was opened, not long ago, a lew miles from Jackson, in which no sign were discov ered of it having been 0 cemetry, but that some earthen and stone wore of very curious and ingenious workmanship Wat. found in it.

It io sold that the Chicl esaw,- who lately ow ned 'thia Country, can give no account of these mounds, fior have they any tradition concerning them: A' person now living upon thci!
