Carey's American pocket atlas ; containing twenty a brief description of each state, and of Louisiana: also, the census of the inhabitants of the United States, for 1801 and The exports from the United States for ten years . ian title is extinguished, and which is settling underthe government of the United States, is divided into fourcounties, viz. Washington, Hamilton, St. Clair, andKnox. Rivers. The Muskingum is 250 yards wide at its con-fluence with the Ohio, and is navigable by large batteauxand barges to the Three Legs ; and, by small ones, to thelake at its head. It is confined by banks so high as toprevent its overflowing. From its source, by a portageof one mile, a communication is opened to Lake Erie,through the Cayahoga river, which is a stream of greatutility, not obstructed by any fails, but navigable throughthe whole distance. The Hockhocking resembles the Muskingum, thoughsomewhat inferior in size. It is navigable for large boatsabout 70 miles, and for small ones much further. On of this very useful stream, are found inexhaustiblequarries of iree stone, large beds of iron ore, and somerich mines of lead. Coai mines and salt springs are fre-quent in the neighbourhood of this ( r*. ) The great Scioto is a larger river than either of the pre-ceding, and opens a more exvensive navigation. It ispassable for large barges 200 miles, with a portage of onlyfour miles to Sandusky river, a good navigable stream,that falls into Lake Erie. The stream of Scioto is gentle,no where broken by falls. At some places, in the springof the year, it overflows its banks, providing for largenatural rice plantations. Salt springs, coal mines, whiteand blue clay, and free stone, abound in the country adjoining this river. Its banks are high good land, whichprevent its overflowing, The Little Miama is too small for batteaux navigation. The Great Miama has a very stony channel, and a swiftstream, but no falls. It is formed of several large branches,wh
