copyright Of his last Novel, the "Last

Unprecedented demand for the book,
that every copy of the first edition has
been sold, and the proprietors are about
publishing q stereotype edition. This is
encouraging to American authors. The

Great Raft in Red RiUer.-Capt.
Birch and Lieut.. Lee, with de,ach ment
OF men from Can,onment Jessup, who,
by the order of Government, have been
up Red River examining the great Raft,
returned a few days ago, after an absence
on that duty of abou, TWO months; we
have converscd with those scientific and
very intelligent gentlemen, on the sub
ject OF their excursion, the object oil
which we understand to have been, 10
ascertain the prac,icabi|iy Of opening a
steamboat navigation through the raft;
and we understand from them, that they
found in one hundred miles in the SER
penline bed OF the Old River, about one
hundred and eighty distinct Rats or
Jams of timber, from few 10 three or
four hundred yards in length; to break
or remove them, SO that steam boats
could pass, would be a work Of very
great labor and expense; and, if effect
ed, the timber let loose, would form new
distractions below they found the banks
of the river extremely rich, but covered
With such quanlilics Of cane, vines and
briers, that is impossible for man TO gel
through it without cutting passage, Of
which a man could cut but few yards
in day. After examining the old bed
Of the river as we'll as they could, they
crossed over an island, hauling their light
skills to the Bayou Pierre, or western
branch or division Of the river, which
they found very different; from which a
canal of less than half mile, through Q
level alluyial soil, would open commp.
nicaion into Lake Scintlo. They entered
this lake with their skins, and spent &c.
veral days in examining it. This lake
is about one hundred miles long, and FIVE
or six broad: i, has channel 10 ii in
which they found ten feet water, and the
high water mark at least fifteen feet
above the then surface; the lake stretches
along with an ndented shore nearly parallel
with the river; there is a communication be-
tween tnc ilRc anu Tic llFCr apout
twenty five miles above the head Of the raft,
and one might easily be opened many miles
higher up; they found, in descending The Bayou
Pierre Branch, which nnites with the old bed
again, about six miles above Natchi,oches, very
little obstruction, the principal of which is a
few cypress s'umps standing in the passage
which can easily be removed at low water, ;
which being done and a passage cut into Lake
Sciodo, there would be nothing at high water
20 prevent steamboats, from ascending Red
River more than one thousand miles above Ma
chtoches, or even into New-Mexico, through
an extraordinary rich fertile country, and a
mild and salubrious climate. 1t is believed
that the Bayou Pierre passage is more than one
hundred miles shorter than by the other
branch of the river.
