The schools of Cincinnati and its vicinity . works which are found throughout these western regions,to which it offers a remarkable and instructive contrast. Theone class of objects exhibiting the slow decay of works of de-fensive warfare, erected during periods of ignorance and bar-barism.—the other exemplifying the rapid progress of improve-ments in the war against ignorance and barbarism, among anintelligent community, in an enlightened age. The researches, enquiries, and observations respecting themounds have hitherto produced no important result. We en-quire, with a laudable desire for historical information, whowere their authors—whence they came—whither they went, andwho were the enemies against whom they had to contend ? Tosuch enquiries we have received no satisfactory answer. To similar enquiries respecting the Observatory, we reply :its authors are the citizens of Cincinnati, who came togetherhere from all parts of America and Europe, to build up a cityin the wilderness, and to endow it with everything conducive.
