Yerm9nt.---This mountain-state, tho
its area is not large or Its soil or choiatt
kind, is about to assume much advan-
ced rank in the union. The brave anu
hardy treemen who lnhabit il are rapid,
increasing, and their intelligence, econo-
my and industry, will be rewarded by
prosperity and wealth. The canal,
which unites lake Champlain to the
Hudson, is completed, and mas increased
the business of that part OF the state,
which lies west Of The Green Mountains,
many fold already; and the contempia-
ted Improvement, 10 the navigation OF
the Connecticut river, which washes the
whole of the eastern border, will, when
accomplished, give TO the people Of tina,
division Of the state, almost equal facii-
ties for access to the ports OF the sea
board. The mountain tops are covered
with sheep, and the pleasant vallies and
plains are filled with Cattle-lhe thou
sand streams OF alter, running in every
direction, are beginning to be applied to
the great business OF manufacturing
iron, wool, Sc. and the invaluable mines,
with which the state abounds are no ION
ger TO be useless, because their products
cannot be transported to market. The
Vermont iron, on account OF its peculiar
qualities, is of real national importance,
and the quantity is inexbaus,ible. The
manufacture has not hitherto been large,
but it is about to become great busi-
ness. We observe also, that there is
cohheras factory in the state, at which
three hundred tons will be made IN the
present year-and the mineral supply is
such that any amount to be required can
be made.-.Wte's Registers
