regarded as unhealthy, being subject
to fever and ague aud other malarious
diseases; but, in the whole circle of
our acquaintance, extending over a
large part of Fulton county, Ky. and
Obion county, Tenn, We heard Of but
two cases of sick ness. The country is
remarkably healthy, and is getting
more aud more so as the heavily tim
bered lands are cleared up and put
into cultivation.
The drouth is about the same iu
duration as in our own country, yet
their corn crop is much better, their
lands standing the drodth much better
than ours This is attributable,
think. in great measure, to their deep
er blowing. Their corn is generally
drilled, standing about fourteen inches
apart in the rows; yet, in very many
cases, still green to the ground. They
have a most excellen farming country;
theY know it and are happy.
The most noticeable feature to Us
was the improved morality of the
country Twenty years ago. like all
mpara'iveiy new countries, the stand
ard of morality was not very high ;
but now we know of no country where
higher moral sentiment, rapidly de-
yeloping into high and noble action,
prevails to greater extent. This
state of things is mainly attributable
to the noble stand of the young men
Of the country, who have set their
faces, as flint against vice and immor
ality, and especially against the pro
life mother OF evil-istemperauce.
