The following letter from a gentleman ,
who formerly resided in this section of the
country, and who now lives in Missouri,
contains much interesting information,
which, by permission of his correspondent,
\tc are enabled to lay before the public.
The letter is dated
Fmsxru.v, (Howard County,) v
Missouri, Oct. 25, 182 u S j
Sin Yours of the Ist Sept, was j
received a few days since, and 1 take I
great pleasure in giving yon such in- i
formation as I possess relative to the s
fKiisjcc'.s of your inquiry. No cor- t
rebt general description of Missouri t
♦ws Ayer been published, and the ar- j
tides that hava frequently appeared r
in tho feewsp.rpera, descriptive of ,
particular parts of it, have often been i
dictated by interest. Probably my <
own partiality for this section of the i
state, may give description of it i
too high a colouring; but ( will en- t
deavor to make it, and I believe it i
ivill be, sub ‘andully correct. A iin« r
field is certainly open fur the indus- *
(rious and enterprising man <rf any f
profession ;if poor, he can by indus- t
'ryaud cnserprise f become rich, if c
rich, he can use his wealth to ad van- i
btge. Not so at present, in New- (
liagland— he that is born poor, sol- i
•iota becomes rich ; and without rich- j j
. ia, be stands no chance of honors or I<
cistivetion; but' in the Western |<
wlwrc there is less, oi that I
fryie, and pLcrc the J <
v>£ I
people arc taoffe ©a an equality, the
•ftly (pasportH to promotion ars, in
egrity nnd ability. I shall com
uenco with a description of tlvis part
nf the state, known by the name of
Boon’s Lick, in which i have resided
(with an interval of absence) lor
more than three .years. Any addi
tional information you may require,
that is in my power to give, “ ill be
communicated with cherfulness.
That part oi Missouri vulgarly
railed “ Boons Lick,” is extensive,
and embraces all the settlements on
the Missouri river and its tributary
streams, west of the old counties of
St. Louis and St. Charles, its length
on the Missouri river is about HU
mites; nnd its depth buck, is various,,
depending on the extent of timbered
land, and other inducements fur set
tlement. Kmigration to this tract of
country commenced in 1810, baton
account of 5*6 being an insulated wil
dern»ES,and subsequently the scene
of an exterminating warfare, it was
not considerable until the autumn of
1816. In the beginning of 1810 the
population comprised within the lim
its herein before mentioned, did not
exceed 500* According to the.cen
sus of 1818, it amounted Ho near'
9000. And now, at the most mode
rate calculation, 25,000- The face
ofthe country is generally level, di
versified, however with gentle rises,
and elevations.—The bottoms, (land
adjoining the rivers) arc level, fer
tile, well timbered, and produce great
quantities of wild grapes. The
bluffs immediately adjacent to the
rivers and river bottoms, are general
ly high and rolling, act! intersected
with gullies and spring branches,
by which the waters are drained oil'
into the large streams, and as you
recede from these streams, the coun
try gradually spreads out into some
of the most beautiful and fertile tracts <
the eye can behold, until you arrive
at the praries, whicha<M an unbroken,
and in many instances, almost un
bounded plain. The country lies high
and dry, and is remarkably free from
marshes or stagnated waters. The
Missouri and its tributaries, have
deep channels, and are never known
to overflow their banks; though in an
agricultural point of view, the num
ber of gullies ami email water cour
ses, constitute the greatest objection
to this district j they are occasioned
by the loosneos, fertility, and depth
of the soil, and have the advantage
of immediately draining the country
of its superabundant waters; the sur
face of the ground is nut encumbered
uy any ucww»c« «• •-»•••••» ■>
though enough of this article for use
can easily be obtained from the quar
ries which abound along the bluffs
and hanks of the creek. The soil in
this district, ns respects its fertility
and productiveness, is believed to be
equal to any in the Union: there is
scarcely an instance of sterile land
to be found. Thts may be easily pro
veil by occular demonstration--it hat
already been done y experiment.—
More than 100 bushels of corn, and
in several instances, 50 bushels of
wheat have been taken from the mea
sured acre with common cultivation!
But 50 bushels of corn and 50 ot
wheat are average crops.- -llye,
hemp, flax, oats, barley, and all oth
er cultivated productions ofthe cli
mate, grow exuberantly. Potatoes
(except, sweet ones) form an excep
tion, being inferior to those of Canada
and New-England, though perhaps
only requiring an occasional change
or renewal of the seed, Tobacco is
a certain crop, grows large, with thick
leaf.—Good crops of cotton arc some
times raised, but its growth to matu
rity depending on the season, it may
perhaps oc considered precarious.
The ground is light and free from
weeds, that horticulture may be
brought to perfection with very little
trouble. Nv ith urdinvry tare, which
is little more than planting the seed,,
several beets have been raided in (his
neighborhood weighed about t 4 lbs.
—a water- melton 40lbs. and a par
snip ineauring 4 1,3 feet in length,
which I saw.
Tliere is perhaps every variety of
timber to be found in this slate, with
the exception of cypress and a very
few others, that there is in any other
part of the U. States: Fruit trees
flourish, particularly apple trees; but
unfortunately they "are secure. The
spontaneous productions of the soil
are plumbs of various kinds, goose
berries. blackberries, prisimmons,
papaws, ami red and blade haw*,
raspberries and strawberries. In the
,/iuirics and islands, frost and sum
mer grapes, white and black walnuts,
r.rabapplcs, hazle nuts, peenns, ike,
all of which are abundanthuid supe
rior of their kind. Buffalo und elk
are scarce ; bear, deer, and turkies
arc plentiful, particular tire latter ;
also wild geese and ducks, in the
spring and fall; wild honey is so
abundant, that COO gallons have been
obtained by a few days hunting amt
ofthe settlement. The prairies arc
fertile and beautiful beyond descrip
tion,having a soil almost as black, and
very similar in appearance to gun
powder ; a view of them when cloth
ed with verdure, is calculated to ex
cite the most agreeable sensations ;
but if the mind is delighted with a
distant view* ft g equally tjel
by the cbjCuts Immediately, around*
where grasses and plants of diff rent I
kinds and strange appearance, and s
flowers of various and beautiful co- i
tors, seem to vie with each other for '•
occupancy; these flowers commence (
opening in May, and every succeed- 1
ing month, until October, brings forth ]
new species. On the verge of ihe
prairies are groves of scattering trees, |
whose rich foliage, combined with
the i/aving grass beneath, and inter- <
mediate sun and sliade,give the place 1
a ninst lovely and picturoeqbc appear
ance. Raising wheat, cattle, horses,
&c. in such places, would be a pro
iitable and most pleasant business.-
These beautiful prairies will proba
bly be (lie most valuable parts of our
country, as in them are many refresh*
ing and excellent springs of fresh and
salt water; even those where timber
is at a distance, may be settled to
great ad vantage; fences may be made
by hedging and ditching; and as for
fuel, nature has providentially sup
plied the absence of wood by numer
ous and inexhaustible minesjof stone
coal. A settlement once made in
these prairies, so as to keep off the
fire, in an age would produce a heavy
' growth of limber. But, the great
boast of the country, in comparison
with which its other advantages seem
almost unimportant, is the salubrity
of the climate. Ido not believe that
the whole hemisphere affords a morc
dry, agreeable and elastic air than
; that of the U; pper Missouri; in the
spring and about the time of the ver*
nal equinox, rains arc abundant; dur
ing the summer, there arc copious
dews and occasional showers, but
scarcely ever a rainy season; from
’ tlic-autumnal equinox to the ensuing
February, there is not much rain, and
but very little snow, with an almost
uniform fine air and sunny sky. Pre
vious to the summers of 1810 and
1820, instances of sicknesshad been
very frequent, a -.d ague, with every
, oilier kind of prevalent disorder, en
tirely unknown among us j but I re
gret to say, that for the two seasons
last mentioned, the ague has been ve
ry prevalent in parts subjected to it ;
the cause of thm as relates to the
last past, is conjectured to be the un
par&llclled swell of the Missouri,
which rose many feet higher last sum
mer than ever it was known to do be
fore, and backed up to a great dis
tance every creek and river in its
course; but reasoning from analogy,
we may not expect another visitation
of the same kind for many years at
[east. TheJpUowiiur.staXcami|o.hojv
tion of the salubrity of the climate,
and heallli of the inhabitants.
The town of Franklin has been
laid oIV four years, and possesses a
population 12 or 1300 sou s, only 12
of whom have died w ithin that time;
of theses were children, 3 died of
chronic disorders, 2 of acute infla
mation, arising from billions affec
tions, 2 of consumption, 1 by drown
ing, and one by violence, franklin,
the seat of justice for Howard Coun
ty, is situated on the north bank of
the Missouri, 200 miles from St.
Louis, is laid off on a liberal plan,
and is an incorporated town; the
Public Square, reserved lop the erec
tion of public buildings, contains two
acres, and the principal streets are
eighty two and a half, feet wide; the
land office of the district, a printing
office and post office are established
in it. Being yet in its infancy, it
docs not contain many elegant
buildings; it lias, however, an agree
able and polished society, and as to
business and importance, is the se
cond town in the State.
Bo< nvil’c occupies a high bluffsitu
ation, on the south bank of the Mis
souri, and is the seat of justice for
Cooper country; it commands a
handsome view of Franklin, and is
a very eligible site,
Charlton is ab( it2s miles above
Franklin, on the same side ol the
river; it occupies a handsome site,
and from its situation and other ad
vantages, promises to become a piace
of some importance.
Cote-Sans-Depicn, *sm old though
small settlements, is about GO miles
below Franklin, on the same side of
the river, and has been just fixed up
on as the temporary seat of the
state government for six years I
think 1 hazard little in saving that it
will be permanently fixed somewhere
on ihcbank of the Missouri, within
45 aides of the last men fumed pla
ces. Commissioners are appointed
to select a site for that purpose, who
will report to the next General As
sembly.
About TO miles west of Franklin,
much first rate land has been sold;
and still farther tbeir ig..a /large' bo
dy of it to come into market, but
the time of sale is not at present
known.—There is also large bodies
of land betwen this place and St.
Charles county', including the con
templated scat of government, which
arc yet unsold, as the time of sale
is not fixed—Having hitherto con
fined myself to a description of tiiis
district, I will row proceed to satisfy
the remainder of your queries Ac
best of my ability.

The Missouri lias ioop 4
by experiment, to be navigable for r
steam boais of 2CO tons to the Coun i
cil Bluffs, a distance of 580 miles ;
above Franklin— Veel boats of 501 i
tons, in the service of the Missouri <
Fur Company, go to the Mandan. i
Vi'lages, nearly IKK) miles further.
There are several steam boats that -
ply regularly between St. and
New-Orleans, though only i
come here occasionally. ’I lie Mis
souri has a peculiar advantage over
the Ohio, Mississippi and Kentucky
rivers ; while the latter are not na
vigable several months in the year,
on account of tlie lowness of their
waters, the Missouri is always navi
gable.
T here arc no tribes of Indians
within the limits of the state; the
nearest are the Osages, who are par
ticularly friendly.
The state of society is, perhaps,
better here than in most new so
iled countries. There is a tolerable
proportion of professional gentlemen
here, but oppoitunities have hither
to been wanting to occasion a perfect
devclopcinent of their talents.—l he
minerogoly of this country is but
little known, though it may with
propriety be considered as very com
prehensive. There ars many fine
mill seats on the different creeks,
though mills are much too scarce.
This is the true country for i.'.an
ufactories of which at present there
arc unfortunately but few, and e
yen those, not conducted with suffi
cient spirit or enterprise by the pro
prietors; as for example, saltspring’fe
are found in every section of the
country, but especially in the Boon’s
Lick district; and on the waters of
Salt river, a branch of the Missis
sippi. Missouri would be able to
supply an empire with salt of a su
perior quality ; but hitherto she has
purchased much of that article from
the Illinois and Kenhaw, from Li
verpuoi, St. Übee and Turks Island!
The government monopoly was one
cause of this; but in the bill fur the
admision of Missouri, twelve springs,
to be chosen by the legislature, with
six sections of land around each, arc
to be given to the state; the re
mainder will probably be sold out,
and become private property. Ex
perience has fully proved, that the
finest hemp of America can be rais
ed within this state ; the quantity ob
tained fiom an acre is prodigious,
and by experiments made at Ncw-
Orleans, under the auspices of the
former Governor GfjneraLqtfen iw i
be superior in strength and fineness
of fibre to the boasted hemp ot Rus
sia. A duly of SSO per ton on im
ported hemp would operate as a boun
ty to the Missouri farmer, for its pro
duction, and added to the present
wholesale price (S4O per ton) would
make it a profitable article of agricul
ture ; there is but one hemp manu
factory of any kind at present within
the state, and that at Genevieve, on
the Mississippi, GO miles below St.
Louis.
Missouri is justly famous in Eu
rope and America, for the extent and
value of her Lead Mines; sin* is able
to supply half the world with that ar
ticle, and no country possesses great
er facilities for its manufacture and
transportation : the banks of the Mis
sissippi at Mercdluneuni, and other
places of the vicinity of the mineral
district, exhibit natural rock towers
of several hundred feet in height,
from the summit of which the molten
lead may descend in showers, bo re
ceived in water at the fiver’s edge,
taken up in shot, and shipped in the
boats which lay teady to receive it;
after tliis, will you no* be surprised
to hear that this manufacture is in a
decaying state ? It is not the less
true; it languishes under the torpid
influence*of a governmental monop
oly, which, with the system of short
leases, rents, and want of protection
by an impost duty on foreign lead,
are the causes of this decay ; in the
mean time, America has deen paying
to England nearly 8500*,000 per an-,
num for lead ?—The difference of the
policy pursued by Hie two nations, is
the cause of this state of things. In
England foreign K?ad pays a duty of
261. sg. 4d. sterling, on every 1001.
worth imported, and the mines are
private property. In America . fo
reign lead pays but little duty, and
the mines are monopolized by govern
ment ; the English with a few mines,
are set ling lead to bothEuropcans and
Americans! The Americans, with
mincsenough to furnish half the globe 1
are purchasing lead fromEnrlanc!!-
Should the lead mines of Missouri 1
ever become private property, or be I
leased to companies or individuals, I
for a sufficient length iff thne to war- j
rant the necessary expenditures— ■
should there be a sufficient heavy du
ty levied on foreign lead, aiid its
manufactures, (i. c ) shot, lead, read ,
and white lead, litherage, lie. to op- i
prate as a protection,againsttliw par
ricidal importation, then, and not i
till then, will the Kill value and ex- (
tent of the lead mines of Missouri be ,
perfectly developed.
Os iron, Missouri possesses im- !
mouse beds of ore, exceedingly rich,
and well situated to be worked and
conveniently transported t? o mark*
ei. And . Men mac ecu Gasc/wiadc
rivers, are the chief seats of this ore,
though it is found in many other
parts of (he state, and in such amaz
ing quantities, that it may be consi
dered forever inexhaustible. Missou
ri could furnish, but only herself
and immediate neighbours, but the
whole vajley of the Mississippi,
with iron and its manufactures} yet
she ispurchasing those articles from
Krgtand, Sweden and Russia.
’I he Fur trade, from the source of
Missouri, is , not among the least of
the advantages in the possession of
this happy country} this trady, if
properly conducted, must leave a
considerable balance in favor ot tire
state, after paying for the articles
which arc bartered for the furs.
The old settlements of bt. Louis,
St. Charles, St. Genevieve, New-
Bourbun, anil some others, stilt re
tain a porth n of their ancient French
and ‘ panisli inhabibitants, who
cheerfully accede to and in many in
stances, seem fully sensible, of (he
value of their present form of go
vernment. The population of the
Boon’s Lick district is composed
chiefly of emigrants from Ohio,-
Kentucky and Tennesce; a few
from New-England, anil many of
different nations, and the various
states of the Union.
As you are possibly not acquaint
ed with the manner of the sales of
public lands, the following short
sketch I hope may be satisfactory.—-
Alter the lands are surveyed and re
ported fit for market, they arc, by
the orders of the President, adver
tised to be publicly sold at stated,
times, in townships, with reference
to the ranges. East, West, North
or South,of their meridian; this ad
vertisement is published four months,
by all the printers authorised to pub
lish the laws of the United states;
after which at the time and place
therein mentioned, the sale takes
place; and the unsold lands, if any
remain in such townships, may be
immediately purchased at the reduc
ed price of one dollar and twenty
five cents per acre, the whole of the
purchase money to be paid at the
time of purchase; as, by a law of the
last Congress, the credit system is
abolished. Upon such easy terms,
w hat man cannot become a landhold
er, and standing proudly indepen
dent,; a pillar of his country, by the
exercise of virtuous principles, and
a moderate share of industry
(ht’happiness of, and » *~**petencc
t<uv hiiTicptr a*..t r.»—a* " 1
individuals, in large tracts, at from
two to ten dollars per acre, with
two or three years credit.
I cannot better take leave of (his
subject, than by subjoining (he follow

“ Grand, beyond the power of hu
