From the Illinois Patriot.
NoTEs BY A TRAVELLER.

Amidst the great variety of interest
which Illinois presents to the traveller in
what has been considered its most attrac-
tive parts, the Eastern section, extending
from the Wabash 10 Chicago, has been
hitherto overlooked. The difficulty
which has existed in penetrating into this
part OF the domain, from the want of roads
and the conveniences of travelling, has
caused it to be neglected and retarded its
prosperity. However, from few who had
the courage TO surmount the difficulties
which interposed to an examination of the
country, sufficient light has been thrown
upon the subject, to cause emigration to
centre hitler, and settlements are now
forming Of an enterprising and respecta-
BILE character, besides, it is acknowledged
to be region little inferior to any part of
the state. Timberis very abundant and
of a superior quality. Vermiion county
IN particular, is penetrated with Gue
streams, and the one from which the dis
trict takes its name, is river of some
magnitude, and enjoys great water pow
CT. Danvile, the seat Of Justice, Con-
tanning about 800 inhabitants, is thriving
rapidly in general improvement, popula.
ton and trade. Edgar county, on the
south, has some superior lands, timber and
good sites for mill seats. Macon, on the
west, has Decatur for its county seat, a
pleasantly situated town, and is destined
to become place of good inland trade,
and Of respectable magnitude. Some of
the prairies Of this county, equal any in
the state. There is stage road from
Vincennes TO Danville and from thence
to Chicago. Through this channel, the
merchants who visit the east, receive
their merchandise. 1t being both less ex-
|penslve and more expeditions than any
course of transportation now established,
aud is "A communication of importance.
Two new counties in this section were
formed by the last legislature. One, cal.
led Champaign, Urbana, seat of Justice,
and includes part of Vermilon on the
west. The other, lroquois, situated be-
tween Danville and Cook county. The
seat of justice, we believe is at the Ira
der's House, so called, near the junction
Of McDonald's creek and Picamink river,
and is an interesting country. 81
Besides these important improvements.
there is one other which will throw open
the entire resources and internal riches
to the eastern markets, and their CONNER
cial emporiums. The writer refers to the
Indiana canal, commencing at Maumee,
on Maumee river, about thirteen miles
from its entrance into Lake Erie, in the
north western part Of Ohio, following near
y the course of the river in direction
south west, to Logansport, OH the Wabash,
and terminating at Tippecanoe, and the
head waters Of navigatione Of the Wabash
a distance of about eos miles. OF this
great 1ork and public spirited underta-
king, nearly fifty miles are finished, and

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Anr;J ICtb 1919

IN the late conHagration of the treasury
building nearly all the correspondence OF the
Secretary of the Treasury, from the establish
ment of the Department to the 31st March,
1888. was destroyed including as well the orr
pinal letters and communications addressed 10
the Secretary Of the Treasury, as the records
of the letters and communications written oy
him. With view to repair the loss, as far
as NAV be practicable, all officers OF the Uni
ted States, are requested to cause copies 10
be prepared and authenticated by them, OF
any letters excepting those herein after anu
ded to which they may at anytime nave VIII
ten to, or received from the Secretary OF the
Treasury; and all those who have been IN
office, and other individuals throughout the
United States, and elsewhere, are invited to
do the same. That this ceres pondence may
lbe arranged into appropriate books, it is re-
louested that it be copied on folio foolscap pa
per, with a sufficient margin on all sides to
admit of binding, and that no more than one
letter be contained on a leaf. 1t is also re-
|auested, that the copies be written in plain
and distinct or engrossng hand. Where the
lorignal letter can be spared, 1T would be
preferred. The reasonable expense in copy
ing the papers now requested not exceeding
the rate of ten cents for every hundred
words, will be betrayed by the Department
The correspondence which has been saved,
and of which, therefore, copies are desired
are the records of the letters written by the
Secretary of the Treasury to Presidents ane
Cashiers of Banks, from the list October
1919, to the goth February, 1888, all the cor
respondence relating to the Revolutionary

to claims of Virginia officers to half pay, un
der the act of 5th July, 1882; and to applica
tions for the benefits of the acts of the q
March, 1881 and 14th July, 1882, for thu
relief of certain insolvent debtors of the Uni
ted States. Copies of some circular letter
and instructions, written by the Secretary
have also been preserved, and it is requested
that before copy be made of any crcula
letter or instruction, written by the Secretar,
