Crawfordsvkle, Aug. 6, 1S29. our favor of pie I4th ultimb was received in the woods, about ten days since. This if the first opportunity I have had to answer it. I finished the surveys the last day of July, at Jippecanoc. I lind the route more favorable than coold have been expected. The lands, take them as. a body, are the finest in this country. The timber, water and quality of soil, from about 30 miles above Logansport are equal to any in tho western country. Maps will be immediately made out and forwarded to Washington city. The II. States will put their part of the land in market this fall. They propose to make the division on liberal terms—they will give the State the first^ choice, which will no doubt be the tier of sections where the canal terminates. At this place there is a fine town a.ite, and au excellent placo for a basin. The town will be fronting the canal and Wabash, situated on a high bank of the latter, and about three fourths of a mile from Tippecanoe, and above its mouth about two inilcs. This is the termination of Moore's line and to the credit of this otficer, he seems to have terminated it utWerstandingly. The canal may, on its final location, terminate higher up the river but all this is my own opiuion exclusively?'

It is-situa ted between the 40th and 41st de grees of north la^ide, and includes the whole of that beautiful tract of country on the west bank of the Mi^ sissippi fronting the Des Moines Rapids The land is rich and fer t'le abounding with springs and small rivulets of transparent water Good scites for farms are every where to be fouid, the whole tract being made up of nearly equal quantities of timber and prairie The principal forest trees are the while, black and red oak, sugar tree, rock maple, the white and blue ash, wal nut, cherry and mulberry

Among the minerals which are found in Aborigina, salt peter, coal, and lead ore are the most important Salt petre is found in large quanti ties in a cave on the river Des Moines Coal is found near the rapids on the Mississippi, and lead ore occurs in most parts of the tract The mines have been only partly worked by Che Indians- During the last war their lead was obtained at this place Fish in abundance are taken at 'the rapids, of which the bass, pike and sturgeon are of an excellent quality

The river Des Moines is a rapid stream, about 300 yards wide, and navigable, atal' times, lor Mackina boats to the distance of 300 miles Its banks abound with game of all kinds, and. on this account, large numbers of Indians resort here for the purpose of hunting
