In our last despatch we gave you some statistics
Of Lowell, the chief manufacturing city OF the
Merrimack, and while these details render il unne-
cessary to give similar exhibits Of other places Of a
like character, it is but justice TO the Menimack
river to say that Lowell does not, perhaps, embrace
oDe-half its manufactures. Twelve miles below 10
the city Of Lawrence, Of $4,000 population-a city
which has grown up from the fields within the last
-four years. II is chiefly appropriated TO woolen
manufactures Fifteen miles above Lowell is
Nashua and fifteen miles further up is Manchester,
place Of some seven or eight thousand popula-
ton, which has sprung up since the election of
.Janses h. Polk. With mills OF various kinds
scattered along the way. we come to Concord,
fhe capital of New Hampshire, lately a quiet
country village, but a thrifty town, busy
with locomotives, railroads, and factories. Fol-
lowing the Ilvcr, north of Concord, twenty-five
miles 10 Lake WInnipissogee, the country be-
comes comparatively wIld-the hills are wooded
the train passes through frequent spaces of woods
of small pines, with here and there a cabin IN a
clearing, too far behind the tunes here TO stand
long.

on these roads is complete.
