water of the Tenneee from those of Uie

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.

Mount Pinion and those in it nighbourhood,

fourth of a mile to one mile and half from

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

placed near some spring or watercourse.
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

also indicate that this country was once in

who lately ow ned 'thia Country, can give no
account of these mounds, fior have they any
