Being enriched by the annual wash ings of the best properties of the soil from the western high lands, which ex tend back to the summit of the Rocfcy Mountains" a "distance "of "nearly a thousand miles they are probably the richest lands in the world.

As you wonder over these vast meadows i interspersed with occasional woodlands you will net be surprised at the fierce conflict which has been going on be tween the settlers from the North and South, for the past two years for the occupancy of this valley; it is an object worth contending for ; long andsevere will be the conflict before either cf the contending parties will yield.
