The position proved in my last tliat thin tommy vi antormei Iv inhabited, inow asbomedas eerUdni but as to what periodol'lhe u oi Id.fct by what jenus ot inhabitants, is still, as observed, left to vague utt er -lalnly and speculative inquiry no aatistaetory data having lieen afforded either by histoi-y or tradition. As it inspect the period of time, h certainly musl have been remote, hum the ap pearance oi tne am n ut lortincatioiis, as well as he !rm Ih ot the larecsl trees on those sluiieiiil- ous mounds, which are prominc'ioinlv scattered through the country. A apeeibe and itartiaular uescnption ol Iount I insoii, itii its enciming vails ot ground anil (owerinz lieurlils, hereafter mild reflect I i;lit on tins suloevt. I he stature of the former residents must have been quite different to those in the middle part of the state. It is said that near Sparta is quite an extensive btirving ground, from which many skeletons have been mi;' not evceeifiiiic two feet and a hall in heii;hl anil ei rv bone suited to that size. Dot near Fulton and Paris, as also in manv other pails of the western district, skeletons have lieen extracted from small peculiar mounds upwards of s"en fuel in height, ith hones, jaws and feeth of uncommon iliniiliililv. Also pipes and ether uteasils ol uncommon matrnitude one ot whteli 1 have bad the pleasure ol smoking with, holding upwards of a gill. From this hypothesis it may be supposed that people of different stature, as well as manners and customs, lived on ditterent sides or the 1 enneseee liner. Uy what means these seuiient beings found a support, or whether the arts and education nourished irnionsr them. I shall not pretend lo determine. Hut the present new appearance of the countrv should torm no barrier to this supposition. The circumstance of the largest trees having jjrown on tlieir summits and these artificial conn ivances, indicate some thing more than savage skill. Who ihev were. how they emus here, and alien and by what phenomena they were removed, is to me an enigma. I might enter (In metaphysical sj.ee ulatoe suppositions; lint to myself they would be unsatislactory. I will now come to a little more modem era, and state some other unnccountablea but vhic.'i nevertheless are fact. It is known that tliis country was purchased of the Cbk'ka- saws; previous to which, lor some Hundred years back, so far as tradition can reach, it has i-emain-ed their property. But fi-om one circumstance it is presoinableit once belonged tc the Creeks, i. e. the names of the most remarkable rivers, Ike. arc indubitably hi that languare. The river Forked Deer is called in the Creek Indian dialect Isa Felockitcr; the liter-.il meaning of uliiji is "deer in the forks." The Hatchee K.ver was raliclbt the liiclians"llncheeO'eena " Hatchee signifies a river, and Okeeua a high way, wbicn was the name affixed to the Mississippi. Ano ther coincidence which, although stmnge, is true, as it relates to the two rivers, " Wolf and Luce Hatchee." The) : take their source ery near each other: j-un at parralb 1 distance near 150 miles, and form a junction witliiu 6Xi jards of the Mississippi river Tlie water of Wolf is as clear ami tinnsoarrnt as crys'al. That ot Lurce Hatchee as black as pale ink, The In dians suppose that the cause of the latter pro ceeds troiu an immense bed of coral growiun in its bottom. Of the correctness of this hypothesis I leave yon to conjecture.
