'Tme editor is indbted to Dr. W. B. Pow ell, fori mni interestinig piaper, on thle ancient bed of the gulf' if Mlexico. It woi afh l'ord (mnr readers mnuch pleasuire, we thinkh, to specuilate oin the 'original anmid cuiritus coniitnt of this pape~tr. Ani abstict only cani be f'urniisheud, and that from miemory: time originaiilihaving been sent to the pulic press at Louisville previous to that of thie Southlerner being heard fromt. Th'iis mper was a reply toi eome of the initerrogattories add~reised to Dr. Powell biy the ceditor of this Giazette, respectin:g the anient ievofof the country, amid the futurme coutrse of thifMississippi. Some facts were c mnyitetd (probatbly, hon ever, kntownt to the:'Doctor biefore,) such ais the comnumon dicoverv af tunnmiil of r e~ in .hn *...ak.. its district, west of New Orleanus, 40 feet below the present. lev'el of the country. This, Captain De Hart asserts. of thitt see tion of Louisana is'a familiar fact. Again, the beds of the bayous, passing out or the Mississippi, are thick. . 1'et wi the stumps of trees. 20 fect below the level of the ad jacent country. Tie constant accretion (of the lak'e shore was likewise mntioned. The twension or tiae island of N. Orleans it) its eagutern side, has reached ome hun dreds O yards, in advance of the old sta tiotis of -the Lake vessels. On this imperfect presentation of the subject, tihe Doctor enters very ntich at large into the genological formation of our lower country-the netherlands of the Mis sissippi valley His viow is taken subse qiunt to that period when according to dis inagtishdCl geologists, the loftiest mouniain peaks of our couttry, n common with those of the planet generally were submer ged] by the ocean. That this was the ancient condition of our globe, is satisfactorily establisded, by the presence onl the loftiest mnounitains, all over the world, of marine shell, whose tex ture is too delicate to have admitted any violent agency iln effecting their disposi tions. Long stbseqnc t to this remote epoch, in the revolutions of our globe, the gllf of .1exico must according to the hypothesis of Dr. Powell, have assenlded high I) the pre s'nt bed of the Mississippi. InI all proba .hilitv. it n ashied the satid blufis at NaIchez the sand stone rock at the town of Gr Gulf, aId the lufs at Vicksburg, if it did not reach still higher. Thet reason for these apparently rash conc-ltsions are presented itt the-d facts. . Cypress stfimnps are often tound twenty antid fifty feet below the pres ent level of the country in Arlusas; just as they are found fb-ty feet below the level of the Attakapas distriet. Forty and fifty feet of earti have therefore been dtposited tipon the anient strface of tile country. In don firm a t ion of this fact. the a pear attces of tilu preciL iLan, I hriv sn.ces sive growth and deposite of timber with other alluvial matters, marked by.stcees.. ave layers. Sometimes the deposite re mains of timber are perpendicular, -at other timei they are horizontal. Are not these the very steps and stages of the geological proceses, that are going ont at the present day, whenever the lower country is in a state of accretion? It then seems undeni able that the bed of the river uintst have bectn lower than at present, (supposing tle tloods to have been near tile -sante as now) in order to- enable it to mnake those deposites oi former growths; Is not the SIlae process, perioiically carried on, throughout tle lowlands ons the Mississipp; and its tributaries? IHence fte inereasint. capacities for cultivation of extensive see tions of the valley country, wlicl..-aVere formerly tnsuseeptible of it. This -is the teStimony of ouir old inhabitants n ithin the last forty years. At the same time the bed of the river has raisred it.elf with the new ly formed cotuttry, by partaking of the gen - eral deposites. Ilenie the Mississsippi is so freqtently said by superieisal observers, to rat uii a ridge- because its margin receiving the last deposites ofthe retiring waters chargel with illtvial matiters, are alwavs higier thatn the remoiuter parts of thIe batik. Thte coancnvity ofilhe bed of thte st reama is, htow ever, uadll'eed lby this circumat~stance-, and obviusly hias ntothting~ to do with the tibr astiont of thte msaargitnal heattis 50) andl Gt feet taove the stage of how wiater, --wn- pre-j-, n {-, thete.v, itlm Doc. tor thkinks, int wh ich thle retireatnastt of the wate-rs of thte Gtlf itt Mex('ico itty haave dleepenedici to ttnake rotm f er it-s miore con fined-i waters, or thec wvateritstma hav~e di mnishudied The'la gre-at divyersiona of lahea at (-ienat oi(cani bedls tendi to coantirma thle liatt-a sut ppo-;it iont.
