We understand that Mr. John Melish map seller of Philadelphia, has published a small neat of this state, shewing the situation of the several counties, (including those laid oft by the general assembly last session,) the towns, water courses, range and town? ship, lines &c. from materials fui pished, by a gentleman pt Salem. Until a map on a large scale can be prepared, and which-will take time and labor to complete, Mr. Melish's little publication will be useful. . The public are indebted to Mr. Melish and the person who furnished the manuscript for such an early and valuable addition to the geographical knowledge of our country.

Mr. Samuel Williams, or me surveyor generals office, Chillicothe, a gentleman well qualified, has announced the proposed publication of a map, of Indiana, compiled from the public surveys and other authentic sources' on a scale of five miles to an inch. The whole will be 38 inches wide, bv about 6 1 inches in length. 1 L la.

To remove 15,000 in one year, will require about 60 ships or vessels, as it would be dangerous and oppressive to send on board of any vessel, more than 250 persons. The transporting of 15,000 persons in 60 ships, in each year, will cost 75 dollars for each person, being for the 15,000 Dollars persons. 1, J 25000 The expenses of cothing and fitting each colonist for the voyage, as it is known almost every one-will be unprovided for such an expedition, will be at least 25 dollars, each, making for 1 5,oo 37.5000 It is contemplated by the present plan of the American Colonization Society, to find each colonist with food fur one year, after this arrival in Africa, the charges for which as provisions must be sent from America,will not be less than 79 dollars for each, making for 15,000 ijllftoDOf It is also contemplated, and admitted to be. necessary, by ths adi "
