that onr traders and border settlers might be de-
srroyed by the numerous nations of Indians and
-host of adventurers who would occupy that ter<

come an asylum for'fugiiivea from justice—run.

of intestine divisions, and finally the whole ter-

There can bo no doubt therefore, that if
Mexico will sell, tint territory on reasonable

The present deranged state of the Mexican fi
nances affouls a reasonable ground of belief that

Out road on the 32d of Match—if toad it
ought to be Called—lay through the heart of tbe
forest, our course being -pointed out slowly by
biHZt-s, or slices, cut as guiding marks ou the
sides of the trees, it was really lik.- navigation
by means of the stars over the trackless ocean!
VVhen we had groped our way in this stratige
fashion for about ten or twelve miles, wo catuo
to a place where the slight trace of a road, in
the expressive language oi the woods, is said to
lurk or split into two. The driver stopped,
sighed, end then looked at me witii a look ofiu-
terrugation. “Take the right hand road,’’ said
1, and away wo went. I had misdirected him,
however. Indeed I had no motive for speak
ing, except the experience that, to the analogous
service of navigation, when our knowledge hap
pens to be exhausted, indecision, is generally
worse than error,as' it loses more time. Bull was
out in niy reckoning for once, as we suori found
ouiselves bewildered amongst htushwuod and
swamps. After floundering about fur sumo
time, we came suddenly, and to our great joy,
upon a bit of cleared laud. No human being,
however, was to be seen; and though numer
ous spiral curls of smoke rose amongst the
trees, they came not from houses, but from the
burning forest.
By dint of working various traverses, first to
one hand, and then to the other, the driver at
last discovered some slightindicatiuusofa path.
To my eye thero was no such thing, but his
inure practised sight made it out, as he declar
ed, quite distinctly. This we followed, till wo
came upon three red pigs, symptoms of human
ity which were most gratefully hailed by the
wayfarers. By ami by their owner appeared,
is wild-looking man of tho woods, who, howev
er, very kindly took considerable pains to di
rect us into tho right track. A road Was to bo
made, he said, but when ho did not know. In
the meantime, we mast follow certain blazes on
the trees. Off wo set again, over routs and
down the sides of gentle uudulations in the
ground, which givo the naino of a rolling coun
try to immense tracts of land in that quarter of
the world. The ivaolu surface of such districts
is moulded, by what means l know uoi, iuto
ridges of sandy suit, gently rouuded off, ho-
whoie steep or angular, and never continued in
one straight line for any great distance, i
have often o .served the soa in a culm, after a
gale of wind, with a surface soin.-whni similar,
only that in the case of these lolling countries
the ridges are uoi so icgulir in their direction,
and are many tunes larger thuu any waves 1
ever saw. They present no corners or abrupt
turtis; and, though crossed by small valleys,
these too have tlieir edges dressed off in like
manner, as smoothly as cuuld have been man
aged by the most formal landscape gardouer.
1 sought in vatu for traces of the great wave
or deluge which appears xo havo swept over
the northern and eastern parts of America ;
Out I saw uothtugiu these rolling countries suf
ficiently uuifotot in direction, or otherwise
characteristic, to justify tho application of tho
Oiluvian theory to their phenomenon. .Yu
idea, however, was suggested to me on the
spot, which farther inquiries uuy possibly veri
fy. Every one hus uoticed tiro effect produc
ed on a flu sandy beach by the ebbing tide—
A certain kind of ridges are formed, wtiich, on,
a diminutive scale, give some notion of the
couutry I am describing. Now, it is possible,
and quite reconcilable with the Huttouian the
ory of the earth, (hat this part of tho country
should have formed at one limn tlte bottom of
the sea. If wo next imagiito the gulf stream,
which now flows along the coast 1 of America,
troin tho Capes of Florida to the banks of New
foundland, «o have passed ovor .ho districts al
luded to, its gigantic current may have fashion
ed the bottom iuto a commensurate scries of
ridges, and thus have formed the roiling coun
try, which some convulsion of naturo in subse
quent times has raised to its present position—
If careful experiments on the inequalities of the
bottom of the sea, along the couise of the gulf
stream, should prove that a similar form is im
pressed upon the sand, this theory would, have
something to traiid upon.
For five hundred, miles, at the least, lire tra
velled in different paths of the South, uver a
country of this description, almost every where
consisting of sund, feebly held together by a
short wiry grass, shaded by the endless forest.
I don’t know exactly what was the cause, but it
was it long time before I got quite tired of the
scenery ot these pine barreus. There was
something, I thought, very graceful in the mil
lions upon millions of tall and slender columns,
growing up in solitude, not crowded upon ono
another, but gradually appearing to come closer
and closer, till they formed it compact mass, be
yond which nothing was to bo seen. Not even
a ray of the sun could pierce this gloom; and
the imagination was at liberty to follow its own
devices into the wildorucss, as far at it pleased.
These regions will probably be left for ages in
neglect. Tho poverty of the soil, aud the dif
ficulty of procuring water, will, in all likelihood,
condemn tho greater part of them to perpetual
sterility.
I- hud hardly made these, or similar reflec
tions on the stability of tho forest, when we
CHnin to a tract of country several leagues' in
width, where every .tree was laid prostrate ou
its side, with its roots torn out of the ground.—
Their tops were all directed to the south-west,
from which circumstance, taken along with va
rious repot is to the neighbourhood, I infer they
must have been-blown duwn by somo fuiious
gust from the north-east. Only those trees
which had fallen across the road, had been cut
away; while all the rest being left to rot ot their
leisure, a more drearyteene of destruction can
not be imagined.
'Thcso varieties gave interest to the journey,
and as the sun was high in the heavens, and
oar dayT march not long, we took all the in-
terroptinns in good humour. But the delay
had very nearly procured us a sound drench
ing. Wo had stopped at n house to ask our
way, when W0 hoard, or thought we beard, a
low murmur of thunder, to which suspicion,. a
dark pile of clouds, gathering slowly" ii the
south-west, nnd towering far above the -Woods,
gave but too much confirmation. Still we were
not sufficiently warned, and drove on. When
tho sky is clear ovor head, the sun shining, and
nil things snug, dry, and comfortable, ore are
apt to look forward to a shower of rain as a tri
fle. But when the clouds'mount to the zenith,
and the windows of heaven are opened, we re
collect the shelter we have left, with a feeling
of remorse worthy of a greater offence.
On this occasion, however, we fared better
than people generally do who nxtke light tf *
thunder-storm, iu those climates. A good smart
plump of rain, indeed, came down, hissing up
on the burning trees, and wetting our baggage
■.little. Bit after a rumble or two (be squall
passed on,.the sun came out again, and we
milled in scorn at liie stories we had heard of
lie Southern thunder showers. We had ooi
iieeu five minu es housed, however, at the end
of our day’* journey, before the storm cam ton
in good round earnest, continuing for un hour
after it was dark, in a style which I never saw
equalled, except at Sian Bias, on the western
shores of Mexico. The thunder was so near
us, that each flash <
It of ligbiniug was followed «l
most instaatanebusly by a cl ip, wuicli shook
the house, as if it'had been a ship grounding
a rock. Meiuwhile the ram fell in such quan
tities, that having no time 10 run off the court
yard, the road, or the fields, tho whole surface
was submerged, as if it had been (lie commence
ment of a second deluge.
The obliging old genilemuti who agreed to
take us in for the night, c-auglit sight of the
Camera Lucida, as we were tumbling the things
out of the carriage, in all hasie to escape the
coming tempest, and nothing would satisfy him,
tviieu he Knew its ase, but my drawing his por
trait. This request- was easily granted, as well
as that of three t or jour of his sons, fine strap
ping fellows, fit-pioneers for tho backwoods, as
ever 1 beheld, soma of whom I included iutlie

pated rovers, with the old genlemun at their
head, would mikb a tamo picture in compari

could not muster dp. courage;-to aik so formid

scribing, but far enough, at least, to betray a
pair offoet and ankles, iu perfect keeping with
a couple of brawny arms, well-known, I dare

the chops of her negroes, and, m tyb ip,- to (be

couple id* broded fowls wottH be very accepta
ble; and, by degiees, 1 plucked tipfordiude ‘o
add a word or two about rice, and potatoes.—
To each of my requests she uttered an ah 1 or
a hem I or' ineiely signified her apprehension
of my meauiug by u pod. At length, plaining
her fists ou her,knees, to help her elevation
from an immense, hide-bottomed chair, she
ro.e, and said inn good-natured tone, which
re-assured mo greatly, “ I suppose you must
havo what you want,’’ an 1 away she strndo.
In about ten seconds there was a fine scalier
amongst the household party, and a glorious
uproar in the back yard. “StlJy! Mary! you
Tom! June! Where are yoii, June t” scream
ed out Sir John, and a dozen voices answered
to the call. •...
Some of thoso were sent off to catch the
fowls, of which parly June, tin active negro
lad, took the lend. .Thu-1 wo house dugs fol
lowed ; a fence was to ba scale i; and the
poultry, as if conscious of their file, took to
their wings in horror of the gridiron, so that it
was some time before June, or July—or wli u-
ever his rightful appellation be—succeeded in
his expedition, and brought back a couple of
liens to the impatient landlady, who, by this
>time, had raised a glorious fire in the kitiheh,
rivalling the lightning, as ranch as her voice did
the thunder, which, by this 'time, was scream
ing and scolding awayamongst tho clouds.
A short calm succeeded, of which I took ad
vantage to continuo my sketch of the old in in,
with as many of his six-sms as there was day
light for, and I wasjust touching off the grinning
countenance of a youth with a bush of hair
like a bee-hive, when, to the general conster
nation of all the party—the artist included—
Sir John made her appearance in the midst of
the tempest, which had recommenced its grow
ling*. “ What are ye. aH about here, you’ latv
fellows 1” she roared.out; “ run off. aH of yon,
aud fetch me some planks to lay acrossfrom the

gave us all her simple means afforded.

On ihe 27th of March, we reached the town
of Macon, at eleven o’clock, well nigh famished
foi want of our breakfast. As we bad only
fifieen miles to travel, we made pretty sure of
getting in by nine, p/ovided we started at six.
But the roads ware so bad, wo thought we
should never arrive. We had not only to go
up and down hills so steep, that we fe ired wo
should be dashed to pieces, but to cross gullies,
and fords, and broken bridges innumerable.—
I never saw a couutry so cui. up, to say nothing
of tho stumps and roots of fallen trees, through
wliicn we lud to navigate, with no small hazard,

It bad nut the vehement bustle of Rochester, it
is true, but it resembled that singular village not
a little in its juvenile character, and might have
been taken for oue of its suburbs. The woods
were still growing in some of the streets, and
the stomps were not yet grubbed up in others.
Tilt) houses looked as if thny It td been put up
the day b<-fore, so that you smelt the saw-mill
every where. The signs nml sign-pots -wm-e
newly painted; the goods exposed bufui e tho
doors were piled np, as if just lifted out of the
wagons; the bars at the numberless grocery
stores, alias grog-shops, were glittering with
nuw bodies and glasses, barrets of *H illands,
whisky, and rum. The inhabitants were un 10
q iainted with one another’s residence; au.i I
had to go to eight or ten houses in quest iff one
gentleman for whom I had a letter. As yet the
streets had no uamus, but they were laid 0111
with perfect regularity, as I coold'discover by
stakes hero and theie at the corners, and by
rows of the Pride-of-IuJia-trees planted along
boih sides, in a son of mockery, as it seemed,
of the grim old forest, which was frowning all
round on iliose pigmv works of man. This
town of M icon, thiingo founded m 1823, had
not yet worknl il< way to the maps a id road

tho mvigatiouof the river Ocnulgeo.on wh.cll
it stands, might lie so ranch improved, that a
com.nuaicat on could ha opened witlt he sei-
nonst of Georgia, and, consequently, that n;
great poniun of the produce of the tipper part,
of that state would find its way to M icon us a*
depot. But thuso'expectaiions not being real
ized, the rage for seitlmg there had given place
to newer fish ions; other Silurians had been
preferred, and this city, which, in tho opht on
of its founders, was io have been one of thn
greatest in all >hn South, it was nuw feared
would soon vanish ahogether.
In the course of the day’s journey, wo p ish

an:s of some of these juvenile "bat decaying
towns explained to rite, thin, much of tho evil
which I saw arose from the unfortunate descrip
tion of their labouring population. According
to ail accounts, indeed, the energies of every
country where slavery is f ilia l are sadly cram
