The bluffs generally rise Up gradually
from the waters edge, and are, for the mos;
part, covered with oak opening, though
sometimes hardly tree can be seen or any
thing else on their smooth sides, save a
carpet Of luxuriant grasses and beautiful
wild flowers. Near the top, the sand and
limestone formation makes its appearance,
in bold outlines, anu runs along nearly par

full, caste lated rocks are seen on some
lofty hill, peering up, resembling the war
like structures of the olden time.

After riding about two days amid such
beautiful and varied scenes, of which it is
vain to attempt correct description, Saint
