The country above this town is rich in every departmentof natural history. Inexhaustible mines of Iron andStone-Coal appear to be on the surface, 50 or 60 miles above Monroe, at which place copper may be manutactured. The salines up this river promise any reward that the union of wealth and enterprise ougut to expect in liberal pursuit. Lead and Silver ores exist in quantity within ten leagues of the Hot Sp.ings. Limestone, Marble, Slate and Oil-Stone quarries will be numbered with the valuable exhibits. Millstoies equal to the best Burr Stones are obtained with ease on the surface, equal to any demand. Valuabe mill-scats, favorable easy construction, abound. Oil m:y be expected from springs not far from the Ho: spring, suitable for do
