Sr. LOUIS, No. Nov. 2. Is,

Sr. LOUIS, No. Nov. .. 1859 +
Having been requested by mauy frie IDS IL
write them all about this great Ci'y of The
West. | have concluded TO jot down few
items aud send you for ALL
There are several routes by Railroad from
| LewisDnrg to this city, and SO far as can
! learn they do not differ very materially as to
distance, time nor expense. Perhaps the
most central Is via Harrisburg, Pittsburg, and
indianapolis. Olher routes are on the North,
via Elnira, Dunkirk or Buildloe, Cleveland
and Chicago; on the South, via the Baltimore
Il Ohio pad. These connect at difierent
points in their course, by means OF in,ermedi-
ale roads, and also with other routes, thus CIV
ing the traveller choice OF several.
St. Louis is situated on the right bank Of
the Mississippi IS miles below the entrance
OF the Missouri river, ls2 miles above the
mouth Of the Ohio, SIS miles from the falls
of 81, Anthony, lls2 miles above New Or
leans, and l5D miles below Jefferson Ciiy,,he
Capital Of the State Of Missouri. The site
rises from the river by two PlateauS Of lime
sixty feet above the lods of the Mississippi
river. The ascent 10 the FIRST plateau is some
what abrupt, the second rises more gradually
and spreads out an extensive plain or prairie.
Thi, plain. vest Of the city, is not perfectly
tlll like some Of the prares Of the wesl, but
rolling, intersPerSed with liule hills covered
with native growth ol maple and other forest
trees. The limestone Is generally t0und-So
far as have examined-In regular Stra'Iiiri
layers, generally from twenty 10 fifty teet be-
low the surface. IL Is much lighter aud more
easily broken Than our Pennsylvania lime
stone. The soil IN this region appears 10 be
rich clayey loan, similar in appearance 10
the subSoIl Of the northern part OF Lew lsharg.
The present site of the City of ST. Louis
was selected by Laclede, in l16i, as one pos
sesSing peculiar advantages for the fur trade,
and for defence against the savage Indians
who then held almost undisputed sway over
this western country. Probably, in selecting
this sic, the trapRer considered principally |
the benefits whicf would arise In his bust
ness from the confluence Of the different
rivers. Time has confirmed his foresight In
this respect, bat this IS not all: situated, as .
s.. Louis is, midway in the Valley Of the Mis-. I
>i>Sipp!, ami midway between the Alle2henies I
aud The Rocky Mountains, nearly in the geo. /
yraphca! centre OF our great country, there is |
no inland city which can lock forward with /
50 much confidence 10 the future as this.
The population of -. Louis, in 1865, was
lhoui 1900 more than one half of whom were |
absent, great part of the year, engaged in
rapring. In 1890, the census shows the pop
nation to have been only 3.li5-whiIe II is
low estimated at nearly zoe 900. More anon.
