Whilst l connected ' '' with the Faytteville , Observer, the 'Editor ' of the Beacon and Omnibus made' certain . enquiries respecting the bored wells of tlic south-west, which, has elicited the following- j . letter, ahid . which we copy -with pleasure from the Observcj, because - it appears to 'f have been j written by air able hand, and cannot oe .otnerwise tnan interesting to a interesting to majority of our readers. I" Lin wood, Marengo County; Ala Fehruarv 9. 1840 V MrDiixR3ikr Ihavebeen desirous to write you for aome time nnd with great pleasure avail myself of ( ' the opportunity presented by your editorial request in the Observer of the 22d uTl on tlie subject of the Ar- ' tesiah Welb.of Alabama,' &c : r:;o j That you may the better understand the character '' of tliejse Wells, I wish first to give you a brief sketch of the region of country 'in which they are -found. ; v A belt of liniestone lands passes lrom East to West thrbugti tliis State, and for some distance into the. State of Mississippi. Its average width may . be some twenty miles or more.- . Tlus district of country; is based or a lime rock varying irom 100 to pcrliapV 1000 feet in thickness: Borings have been mode 7 - . ad 800 feet without getting through it: This rock is hear die consistence of chalk, of a light yellow colour ' i the frlace, and for a few feet below, then chung ui2 to s light blue-' colour ."'.which continues tlirouzh : tjie remainder of the mass. " Wherever it ;5reps to thh surface or within a few inches of the surlace, it forms the Prarie- soils, and when to within the dis-. itahce of one or two feet . to twenty, forms the - Cane . 1 iBrake soils. When ita depth is 3 inreat that iu in- nce is lost ' at the surface, sandv land . prevaiK The difference .betweerf 'the ; Prarie and Cane B rake soils consists in the former having , a Uiin soil, and no ti , trees, while the latter has a deeper soil and is clothed kvith a luxuriant growth.of Cane . and trees of .laree f I dze and great variety The most striking feature' of " , i Jie Prairea is gieii; dei-u led appearance, the rock ap- T ' iroaching so mcr the surlace as to prevent the growth I; j trees. They are however always verdant in Sum- , I ner, and abound with flowers, various and sortie of hem beautiful, . These soils are formed by a combi ation of the superficial rock with vegetable matter, nd sometimes an admixture .of clay. , There iayeiy ittle siliciou?i matter to be found in them , It will readily occur to you, that when this rock Approaches so hear the surface and forms an impene rable barrier both to the ascent and descent of wa er, that springs of water will rarely occur. . Cisterns ' Vere at first resbrted to, and are still much" used; but lave been found a precarious resource in long droughts. 3ored wells :are therefore necessarily used as the only neans of obtaining an abundant and unfailing supply, jf pure water, In all the , sandv land, water is ob- I "ained from Serines and Wells of the usual deixh. & AbjOTng.theJWelUiuis riecessar PCk-", V feJeej beneath jt , inyariably' fijund stratum of sand-stone varying froiridiree to fiileen feet h thickness, and , when .this latter is3 gone through,' , ivaterj is. obtained. ; The, water ascends through the iperture made in the. rock, and sometimes stops tp Jnd its level at a depth of twenty to thirty feet below he surlace, when it is used as a common well 6r ?ump. Very often it rises several feet above die auiK ace and flows out m a constant stream:' In this case1, i wooden tube as in the common pump, is inserted i into the rock ajt its surface, into which the water en 1 ters as it passes out of the rock and passing! up tins '- lube is discharged as by the pump. ; r ; : C Yodask.if Jhia 4watern ,me jnom the Ocean?
