Extract of a Letter dated Craw-1 fordsville, March'25, 1845. Dear Coz Joe, You enquire in your last concerning the population, health, wealth, &c. of Crawfordsvilie. I cannot in one short letter answer all of your enquiries minutely; but I will attend to some of the most important. As to the health of this place, suffice it to say, that, beino-on the most elevated ground in the Wabash country, there being no marshes or stagnant water in the vieiuity, and the water being of the very best quality, no place in the whole western valley is so free from those descales which prevail so extensively in many parts of the country in the warm season. Indeed it appears from the report of the City In spec-tor. that the whole number of deaths during the last year was but 125, and a majority of these were infants and aged persons. Take into consideration the fact that our population exceeds 10,000 and you must be satisfied that no place can enjoy better health than this. As to the wealth of the place, you may judge when I tell you that most of the private stock of the turnpikes and rail roads .passing through it, is in the hands of our capitalists; amounting to several millions ofdollars, that both our public and private edifices equal in splendour those of any place of the same size in the country, that town lots which could have been purchased in 1835, for 2, 3, and 5 hundred doll ars. cannot now be had for so many thousand, that not a quarter section of land within five miles of this city can be obtained for less than $4000. Many men who came into this country ten years since, worth but little or nothing, now count their thousands, and several of them are our wholesale dealers. You may now perhaps call to mind our sage conclusions in 1834, when we travel ed through this part of the country that manufacturing interests could not flourish here. Then we were a little too wise, as you would be compelled to acknowledge, were vou hereto see our extensive cotton, woolen, and flour manufactories. Indeed, we have discovered that we can get the southern cotton cheaper that the Yankees. We can get cotton from New Orleans 2 per cent, cheaper than the Bostonains, -and it costs no more to get it from Charleston, by the Charleston and Cincinnati rail road, than it does the manufactories of Providence, Rhode Island, to get it from the same place. We have also found that we can grow wool better even than the Yankees of the granite hills of New Eng land, who are obliged to grind the noses of their sheep to a sharp point so that they may pick the grass from amongst the rocks; as to our horses, cattle, and hogs, no part of the country excels us; and the facilities which we enjoy for getting our products to mirket are equal if not superior to those of any other section of the country. We can choo33 between the two Jest markets of the United States, New

York and New Orleans. The Wabash and Erie canal affords an easy communication to New York, and the rail road to Madison, opens a grand highway to the Ohio river. But if we do not like the rail road, we can take the Mc'Adamized road to Louisville, or if we prefer going to the Mississippi directly, we can take the cars west, on the Alton and Wabash rail road, and 24 hours will carry us to the Mississippi. This is the point where the grand thoroughfare from the Northern and Southern States to the Mississippi intersect, and hence whoever trav els from the North or South to the Mississippi must pass through this place, southerners may take steamboat at Cincinnati; but it is better to proceed to Alton through this place than by the tedious route of the Ohio river. You doubtless recollect the almost impassable state of the roads in 1834, our streets you will recollect were filled with mud, logs, and stumps, but now all the

roads from this place are graded and most of lhcm Mc'Adamized, the streets are pav0j? ancj well lighted in the night. Wood is not qu;te so abUndand as it was in 1834; instead of getting it for 75 cents per cord, ,aswc tneu C0U1H, we are now glad to ob tain it at $2,00; coal is less expensive, we get it by the rail rord from coal creek, and the Vermillion the Vermillion coal is the best. You would be pleased with an account of our college and other literary institutions, but I have not time to specify, j and will reserve this subject for my next j Suffice it to say that the number of stu-l dents is 250, 90 of them freshmen. The faculty is as able as any in the United States Your coz JOSH.
