STATE LINE.
The Commissioners who were appointed by
this state to run the line between Kentucky
aud Tennessee west OF the Tennessee river
have performed that duty and returned.
The parallel OF 50 degrees. 30 minutes north |
latitude which IL the chartered limits betw sen |
this stale aud Tennessee, is ascertaiued TO be |
| about thirteen miles due south OF the pcint |
where Walkers line strikes the Tennessee |
river and about IL miles south OF the point |
where the same iuc strikes tie Mississippi!
ms Will convey to our leaders some idea OF |
the extent OF country now under tue jursdic-
ton of Tennessee which az rirh, belongs TO
| this state. The line run by the commissioners
from the point OF 81 degrees, 80 minutes Oh the
tennessee strikes tho Mississippi, crosses il
twice aua cOmprehends within the state OF
hentucky about 1000 acres lying in the bend
below New Madrid. Those who have access
| TO Munsells Mapwill see how this ha pppu- nv
casting their eyes on the beud in the Missls-
| sippi, at the northSrn point of which stands
New Madrid.
The commissioners represent the lands on
| the tennessee river aud on the state line to
| be generally OF good quality and capable OF
| supporting large population. The Tennes-
see is a beautiful stream having Il sufficency
OF water Tor navigation through this state dur
| ing the whole season. The lands on the Mis-
| sissippt are likewise good ; but with the eX-
| ception of u few bluffs, subject TO inundation
rom which they can never be redeemed. The

| IL is az miles on the state line from the Ten

s"fncient size and fertility TO constitute four

| on some parts Of it,
