eraI added to the rich agricultural capa-
blllties of the mining districts, cannot
fail, in due time, to render this nearly
the most prosperous portion Of the Great
Valley. The article always commands
ready cash, The only apparent obstacle
to the rapid acquisition of wealth by the

Off Burlington, Iowa, O'Clock P. NJ.
The impressions of my first days &C.
quaintance with this kingly father of wa
tiers, mud, and drift-wood, are rather
matters Of fact than poeticaI. A broad
deep current, turbd, sweeping, whirl-
ing, boiling lined with green woods
and underbrush, often in from two to FIVE
feet water, is the scenery Of the greater
part Of its course thus far. Islands are
of almost constant occurrence. Low
shores, and liability to inundation pre-
cude and retard settlements in perhaps
two thirds Of the distance between this
and Galena. Wherever a sufficiently
elevated location presents, town is in
progress towards wealth and greatness.
These will average perhaps ten or twelve
in hundred miles, including both sides
of the river. The location OF Burlington
is delightful, AS seen from the river,
its edifices appear to be mostly of brick,
large and business'like, beyond any thing
we have yet met with in these wild re-
cesses of the wilderness. 1t must be Il
town of considerable population, and
thriving business.
