NATURAL BRIDGE. In Adams, one mile nortli of the North Vill
age, in rmslield county, Massachusetts, this natural curiosity exists; and it is remarkable, that so little has been written or read concern
ing it. An English travelUr, in 1618, visitedthe place and took the dimensions of tiie b ridge and excavation in the rocks, an account of which was transmitted to the editors of Edinburgh Encyclopedia, anil published under the article of Adams. The excavation or gutter is in solid lime rock, 40 rods in length, varying from oCto GO feet in height through which runs Hudson's Brook on the nortli branch ofthe
Hotsic, occupy in? from Vi to 14 feet, which is the uninterrupted wulih of t.'c cup. Over this the bridge is thrown, being (ij feet fro. n the bed of the brook, 1") feet long and 10 wide, arched teneath; and what renders it a matter of great curiosity, the arch is perfectly smooth, and leautifully white. On the wests' 1? .if the arch, is a circular cut room, large cm.-ug 1 1 ) contain ten persons. Tne whole pl.ice !jtar the marks of heiuj wrouglit by ttie rn;.,tiou ofthe water ia a most workmanlike manier. i,lorages, this cause must have operated in producing tiie result. In tlie neighhornooJ of the orMge, the rocks are somewhat open upon examining which, we find tiiem leading to large caverns and no do;ir,t, they were worked out by tlie constant friction of the water. The roar of water and the sublunary of the scenery, produce on indesr-riablc sens it ion up n the visitor, wnich stands on slippery rocks, "while foamsng billows rage .bdow." 'I'J.ere are many tradtions respecting the precipice one is, that a war party of Indians, on anexpeditiun to Jirookfield. in tiie old Indian war, was dashed to pieces on
ine rocK otiow. Dome id or years ago, a
a .Mr. Uriggs, then a student in William College, visited th place, unaccompanied. Curiosity tempted him to explirc more fully tlie precipice, and by the assistance of poles, he dedescended to the basa of it. Here his eyes fastened upon the wonders of nature. His curiosity being gratiQed, he began to t iik of returning. After repeated trials, he gave it up, and inscribed on the roc k his farewell to his friends and the world.

The editor of the "Western Times, (Judge Smith,) in ail article under the head of "Indian Payments,"' says he lias been iiifonr -' "that the Indians were so dissatisfu-d i place selected by Gen. Tipton, for the payment, that only about one sixth of them attended ; and after remaining oa the ground ten or twelve days. ' r General had to take the nione, cxv small part, back toLogansport. Tin xldians wanted to receive their money further back in their own coui.try.'1 As this article, (although given by the Editor of the Times as he received it, and without any bad intent on his part,) is calculated to jnakc an erroneous impression on the public mind, wc conceive it to be our duty, in justice to Gen. Tipton, to correct it. The tiuth of the case is this, (which we learn from the Interpreters,) the Indians were not dissatisfied because the place selected was not "fur thcr back in their country ;" but, because it was not vvlir a few .infomttil .Chfm wished it to be, on one si'c oi their land, where they had two or three trading is!ab lishnenh.

INDIANA. Some may be surprised to learn that that part of this state, which ten years ago Was exclusively inhabited tT the Indians, and is now known by the n.juie ofthe "New Purchase," contains at present, upwards of 100,000 inhabitants. Within this territory 22 counties have been organized, and not less than 40 towns and vilages erected, some of which contain from 8 to 1200 inhabitants. Tlie backwoods may well be said to be receding. We recollect the time when the now nourishing city of Pittsburgh was some distance in the backwoods. Since that time States, Cities, Toims, Villages,
