tjiat I am a firmer believer than e^

thought chat all the objects which
Christianity requires me to believe,
are to be con^rnplaced with delight
It is all love 5 love is the Alpha
love the Omega. It originated in
love : it is exemplified in love : it
terminates in perfect, universal

firtrsct tf a leUer from a gentleman who
tome time nince emigrated from Jkxrts

.1 have finally concluded to fix n?v fami

of country, urn! fineness of lund, I ha\e
seen oo place that 1 Uke so vWell.. This
village is situated by the Rivers* 4? miles
from St. Louis, and about 20 miles up the
Missouri, which is navigable more tban
.3000 miles above this. The land about
Jhyi town is the most delightful that
;be imagined. Great part of it is i kind of
land of which the people in New England
have no idea ; an open, level plain of the
?richest possible soil, 40 feet d*?p, perfect
ly free from bushes, and covered wi?h $rass
?hi^er than my head. On these 'fields the
people get 80 bushels of' com,- 30 of
? Wheat, 2000 fbs of Tobacco, and the same
quantity of hops to the acre* with no ma
nure anjj very little cultivation. Where
they have orchards they raise the most
beautiful fruit imaginable. Plumbs and
hops grow wild in great abundance.'- As
thousands Of acres of the finest pasture
lies open, every one ke?%pt as many cows
and horses, as he chooses, and. cuts any"
quantity of hay for them, where he pleases,
i^nd y?K'feutter ilnd cheete are higher here,
that in New England. This arises from
?the.e*treme Ifiiiness of the people, and
from not one in a hundred knowing how to
make tlieeie. Mechanics get from 2 50
to 3 dollars a day. Land may now be had
froirvj $5 to 3 <it)llars^he acre ? but as em

Thomas,( Augoscura) Nov. 8.
Since I had the pleasure of seeing
you and your^amiable family in Fe
bruary 1817 the events of war have
prevented me ffoni giving you the
slightest ' neVls of my situation, j it
is probable, however, that you"
would have learnt from public
prints all our successes subsequent
to our departure from Aux Cayrs.
we have lately made ourselves mas
ters of the province of Cuiayana,
of the navigation of the Oronoco,
of a great p u t of the provinces of
Cumana, Barcelona, Carraca?, Bari
llas and Cassanare. We command
all the plains. We arc masters of
all the horses and cattle $ and have
sullicienc forccs, both inf.:;try and
cavalry, to pacify ail the rt-bt of the
provinces before the CikI of the
year.
