school is managed by three ladies who are called "Sis, ters of Charity," and is under the immediate inspec- tion of the resident Catholic priest. The town con- tains three brick meeting houses, a brick court house, a jail, three steam mills, one wind mill, two cotton fac- tories, three taverns, sixteen mercantile stores, six gro- ceries, and several shops for mechanics of almost eve- ry description. There are two weekly newspapers printed in the place; one of which, the "Western Sun," has been published here by the same editor, for the last 30 years. The professional gentlemen are four preachers of the Gospel, seven lawyers, and seven physicians. The mail stages between Louis- ville and St. Louis, pass through Vincennes three times a week; and those between Evansville and Terre Haute, twice a week. The town extends more than half a mile on the river bank, which is consider- ably above the greatest rise of the river, but not so high as to be inconvenient. The river opposite the town is 230 yards wide; but its navigation for steam boats is much obstructed by rapids near where the White River, twenty miles below Vincennes, empties into the Wabash. It requires, however, no great rise in the river to enable steam boats to pass the rapids; and their arrival at this town is therefore sufficiently frequent to answer the general purposes of its exten- sive trade. Vincennes is sixty miles from Evansville, the nearest point to it on the Ohio river; it is on the direct route from Louisville to St. Louis; and is 120 miles south west from Indianapolis.

WABASH, a noted and beautiful river of the west. The highest and most remote source 'of this river is in the state of Ohio where its head branches interlock with those of Stillwater and St. Mary's; whence it takes a course a little north of west about seventy-five miles, to its junction with Little river, on which is the

line of the Wabash and Erie canal. The confluence of these two streams is a few miles north of the centre of Huntington county ; whence it passes in a westerly direction through the counties of Wabash, Miami, Cass, and Carroll; receiving Salamania, and Mississinewa, from the south, and Eel river from the north. It winds thence in a serpentine south-westerly direction, into Tippecanoe county, where it receives the Tippecanoe river from the north; and passing from Tippecanoe, it divides between Warren on the north-west, and Foun- tain on the south-east; then turning south it separates Vermillion on the west, from Fountain and Parke on the east; and after passing through a part of Vigo, it becomes the dividing line between the states of Indi- ana and Illinois, to its junction with the Ohio, receiv- ing White River and Patoka from the east, and Fox river and Little Wabash from the west; and in its course, washing the western borders of Sullivan, Knox, Gibson, and Posey counties, The Wabash is naviga- ble for steam boats from its mouth up to the mouth of Eel river, and affords the advantages of navigation to the several villages on its shores and to the adjacent region. The country through which it flows abounds with extensive prairies, and in its forests are all kinds of timber found in the west; the country is well wa- tered, and the land exceedingly fertile.


WABASHI, an interior county, bounded on the north by unorganized territory, on the west by Miami coun- ty, on the south by Miami and Grant, and on the east by Huntington. It extends about twenty-four miles from north to south, and sixteen miles from cast to west, containing about 380 square miles, or 143,200 acres. It was organized in 1832, subsequent to the time of taking the enumeration. It is supposed the white population does not at this time exceed five hun- dred. The county presents a variety of soil and sur- face. The valleys along the rivers are from half a mile to three miles in width. In those valleys the fo- rest timber consists chiefly of walnut, sugartree, cher- ry, poplar, ash, beech, elm, and oak, with an under- 17

WAR


growth of spice, plum, and hawthorn: Those val- leys are bounded by hills and broken lands for a dis- tance of a mile, or a mile and a half. The table lands are either dry and rolling, or flat and wet; the soil rich and loamy, and the valleys particularly are ve- ry fertile. . The flat table lands abound with willow swamps. Limestone rock is abundant in this part of the state; and it is also well supplied with never-fail- ing springs and rivulets of pure water. The only ar- ticles of trade in this county are furs and peltry.

WARREN, a north-western county bordering on the state of Illinois. It was organized in 1828. It is bounded on the north by unorganized territory, on the west by the state of Illinois, on the south by Vermil: lion county, and on the east by Fountain and Tippe- canoe. Its greatest extent is from north-east to south- west. It extends from north to south about sixteen miles, and from east to west about fifteen miles. It contains about 350 square miles, or 224,000 acres, and had, in 1830, 2,834 inhabitants. The face of the coun- try is generally level, except on the margins of creeks and rivers, where it is rolling and in some places brok. en. The forests consist chiefly of oak, ash, sugartree, walnut, and hickory; a great portion of the county is prairie land ; the Grand prairie includes the north-west part of the county, and comes within eight or ten miles of the Wabash river. The soil is a rich loam and ve- ry fertile. The Wabash river winds along the south,


187


WAR


East border of the county, a distance of thirty miles, and is navigable for steam boats of ordinary burden. The interior streams are Big and Little Pine creeks, Rock creek, and Redwood, all which are good mill streams. Limestone and freestone rock are both found in this county, the latter particularly, is of an excel- lent quality for the purposes of architecture. Stone coal is also abundant and of a good quality. Iron, lead, and copper ore have been discovered in several places; but sufficient examination has not yet been made to ascertain the extent or value of either. Sc- veral old furnaces have been discovered, some of which appear to have been concealed with design; and little doubt is entertained, but that, at some former period, both copper and lead ore have been smelted at those places. Along the bluffs of the Wabash and Big Pine creek are numerous large pits, half filled up, from which fragments of ore have been taken; and which, if opened again, it is believed would lead to beds of the same material. Beef cattle, horses, mules, live hogs, corn, flour, oats, pork, beef, potatoes and poul- try, are the principal staple articles of the county. Williamsport is the seat of justice.

WARRICK, a south-western county bordering on the Ohio river. It was organized in 1813, and is bound- ed on the north by Pike county, on the west by Gib- son and Vanderburgh, on the south by the Ohio river, and on the east by Spencer. It extends about twen- ty-two miles from north to south, and twenty-four miles from east to west. It contains about 412 square miles, or 263,680 acres; and, in 1830, it contained 2,973 inhabitants. The face of the country is gene- rally rolling, and near the river somewhat hilly. The timber consists chiefly of oak, hickory, ash, elm, wal- nut, poplar, honey locust, sugartree, cherry, and gum. The soil is a sandy loam, bedded on clay, and produ-

ces excellent crops of grass and small grain, and in some places very good corn; all kinds of esculent roots also succeed well. There are many quarries of free- stone in different parts of the county, and limestone is also found in some places, but not very abundant, and seldom appears above ground. Inexhaustible beds of stone coal are in almost all parts of the county, of which large quantities are annually exported to the coast of the Mississippi and to the city of New-Orleans. The staple articles are flour, corn, oats, beef, pork, po- tatoes, stone coal, and live stock. The Ohio river washes the southern border of this county, and Little Pigeon divides it from Spencer on the east. The in- terior streams are Big Pigeon and Cypress. Boon- ville is the seat of justice.


WASHINGTON, an interior county, bounded on the north by Jackson county, on the west by Lawrence and Orange, on the south by Harrison and Floyd, and on the east by Clark and Scott. It was organized in 1813; and extends from north to south about twenty- five miles, and from east to west about twenty-four miles. It contains about 550 square miles, equal to 352,000 acres; and had, in 1830, 13,072 inhabitants. The face of the country is highly diversified by ine- qualities of every variety of size from the gently swel- ling undulation to the lofty and precipitous hill. The soil is generally of a secondary quality; there is how- ever a great deal of third rate land ; but the major part of the county consists of good farming land. In point of general healthiness, it is not inferior to any county in the state. It abounds with almost all the varieties of timber, of which the beech and several kinds of oak are the most numerous. The substratum of the soil is generally limestone; and there are in the surface nu- merous hollows, and sinks, and some caves, one of which is about three quarters of a mile from Salem. Muscatatack is the boundary line on the north. Blue River and Lost river rise in this county. Besides these, the principal creeks are Rush, Twin, Highland, Delany's, Elk, Bear, and Sinking creek. The staple

WASHINGTON, a flourishing post town, and the seat of justice of Daviess county. It is located on a high, healthy, and very pleasant situation, on the road lead- ing from Louisville to Vincennes, four miles east of the West Fork of White River. It is surrounded by a very 'fertile and well cultivated country. For about five years past this town has been constantly and ra- pidly improving. The town has seven or eight brick dwelling houses. Except these the buildings are ge- nerally frame, and constructed in genteel style. It contains nine mercantile stores, two taverns, two grist mills, a saw mill, a carding machine, a mill for the manufacturing of linseed and castor oil, a steam mill, two lawyers, two physicians, and two preachers of the Gospel, and a large number of craftsmen of various occupations; with an aggregate population of about six hundred inhabitants.

It extends from north to south twenty miles, and from east to west twenty-one miles. It contains 420 square miles or 268,800 acres; and in 1830; it had 23,344 inhabitants. The face of the country is moderately hilly, and shaded by a heavy forest, consisting of ash, beech, oak, poplar, sugartree,

and walnut; with an undergrowth of spice, paupaw, and hawthorn. The soil is generally a rich loam bed- ded on clay, with a light mixture of sand; it is well adapted to the culture of grain of all kinds; and it is said by those best acquainted with it to be unrivalled in the exuberance and variety of its productions, by any county in the state. Good building rock is found on the margin and in the beds of several of the streams, where it is left exposed by the current, and can be procured with little labour. It is generally limestone, and of such a texture as to yield freely to the chisel, and is susceptible of a polish almost equal to the finest marble. The only water courses in this county are the East and West branches of Whitewater and their tributaries, affording numerous good sites for machine- ry. On these streams, there are at present upwards of forty mills of different descriptions. It is estimat- ed that about one-third of the present population be- longs to the society of Friends; the Methodists are the next, in point of numbers ; there are also United Breth- ren, Baptists, Dunkers, Universalists, and Presbyte- rians; and a number who connect themselves with no religious society. There are several seminaries of learning, and about fifty houses of worship in the coun- ty. The staple articles are chiefly cattle, horses, mules, live hogs, beef, pork, flour, corn, oats, potatoes, and poultry. Centreville is the seat of justice.

junction with the Wabash, about four miles below La- fayette. On this creek are two grist mills, four saw mills, and a carding machine.


WEST FORK, a large and beautiful mill stream in the western part of Wayne county. It is the princi- pal western branch of Whitewater; and is also known by the name of West river. It rises in Randolph county, and winding in a southwardly direction through Wayne and Fayette, enters Franklin and unites with the East Fork near Brookville. It flows through a country of excellent land, and, with its tributaries, fur- nishes a great number of good mill seats.


WEST LIBERTY, a village in Rush and Henry coun- ties. It is pleasantly situated on the west bank of Blue River on the road leading from Centreville to Indianapolis. The principal street is on the line be- tween the two counties. It was, at its first establish- ment, a promising village with flattering prospects; but the National Road, passing about half a mile north of it, has checked its growth, and since the esta. blishment of that road, it has been on the decline. It is about fifteen miles north-west from Rushville, and about thirteen miles south-west from Newcastle, and contains about seventy or eighty inhabitants.


WEST UNION, a village in Fayette county, seven miles south-east from Connersville.


WEST UNION, a village in Madison county. It is situated on the south bank of White River, six miles cast of Andersontown, and contains about a hundred inhabitants. .:

course into Jackson, empties into Driftwood a little distance above Brownstown.


WHITE LICK, a considerable mill stream which ri- ses in Boon county, and winding in a south-easterly direction through Hendricks, it enters Morgan, and empties into White River about seven miles above Martinsville. On this creek are several quarries of freestone of an excellent quality for architecture.


WHITE LICK KNOB, a noted prominence in Morgan county, on the west side of White Lick creek, threc miles above its mouth. It rises to a considerable height above the surrounding lands, and affords a de- lightful view of the country east and south, and also across a valley on the west, of about two miles in width. At the foot of this hill is the noted deer lick from which the creek takes its name.


WHITE RIVER, a large and beautiful river, the dif- ferent branches of which extend over a great portion of the interior of the state. Its two principal branch- es are known by the names of the East and West Forks. The East Fork is formed by the junction of Sugar creek and Blue River in the south-east corner of Johnson county ; whence it takes a serpentine south- westerly direction through the. counties of Bartholo- mew, Jackson, Lawrence, and Martin, and divides Daviess, on the north, from Dubois and Pike, on the south, to its junction with the West Fork, at the south-east corner of Knox; in its course having received Flatrock, Clifty, Sand creek, Muscatatack, and numerous smaller tributaries. This stream with its various branches, drains the counties of Henry, Hancock, Rush, Shelby, Johnson, Decatur, Bartholo- mew, Jennings, Scott, Jackson, Lawrence, and Mar- tin, and the west of Jefferson, the north of Washington and Orange, and the south of Monroe and Daviess. It can at a moderate expense, be made navigable for steam boats at all times of ordinary spring floods, a distance of 150 miles from the confluence of the two branches. And the main stream and several of its tri- butaries are navigated every year, from points much


194


WHI


higher, by flat boats loaded with the produce of the country. The West Fork has its source in Randolph county; whence it winds in a westerly direction, through Delaware, Madison, and Hamilton ; and thence south-westwardly through Marion, Morgan, Owen, and Green, and dividing between Knox and Daviess, unites with the East Fork on the northern border of Pike; having received, in its course, the waters of Fall creek, Eagle creek, White Lick, and Eel river, and a great number of other tributaries. This branch with its tributaries drains the counties of Randolph, Dela- ware, Madison, Hamilton, Marion, Hendricks, Put- nam, Clay, Morgan, Owen, Greene, and the north of Monroe, the west of Daviess, and east of Knox. This branch is navigable for steam boats during the spring season as far up as Indianapolis; and affords a suffi- ciency of water for the descent of flat boats, from points much higher. From the confluence of these two branches, White River runs in a westerly direction, passing between Knox, on the north, and Pike and Gibson on the south, and unites with the Wabash ri- ver eighteen miles below Vincennes, and about thirty miles from the confluence of its principal branches. This part of the river is about two hundred yards in width, and navigable for steam boats of ordinary size, at the usual stages of the water in the spring season.


WHITE RIVER, a township in Gibson county.


WHITE RIVER, a township in the north western part of Johnson county.


WHITE RIVER, a centre township in Randolph county.


WHITEWATER, a very notable river in the eastern section of the state. It has two principal branches, called the East Fork, and the West Fork, which run in a southerly direction, passing through the counties of Wayne, Fayette, and Union, into Franklin, and unite their waters near Brookville. From the conflu- ence of the East and West Forks, it takes a south- easterly course, passing through the north-east corner of Dearborn county, and empties into the Great Mi-


195

ami in the state of Ohio. Flat boats of the largest size pass with facility down this river, at any time dur- ing the spring floods.


WILDCAT, an excellent mill stream which rises in the Miami Reserve, and meandering in a western di- rection through the counties of Clinton, Carroll, and part of Tippecanoe, empties into the Wabash near to the Tippecanoe battle ground. This stream furnish- es several good sites for mills or other machinery ; and the lands through which it flows are fertile and well timbered.


WILLIAMSBURGHI, a village in Clay county, four- teen miles east north-east from Bowlinggreen. It has a store and eight or ten inhabitants.


WILLIAMSBURGH, a village in Wayne county, ten miles north from Centreville, containing about sixty inhabitants.


WILLIAM'S CREEK, a small mill stream in Fayette county. It runs south-eastwardly, and empties into the West Fork of Whitewater, on the west side.


WILLIAM'S CREEK, a small mill stream in Marion county. It runs south-eastwardly, and empties into White River on the west side, in the northern part of the county.


WILLIAMSPORT, a post town, and the seat of justice of Warren county. It is situated on the west bank of the Wabash river. The site is pleasant, high, and dry, and commands a beautiful view of the river; yet not so high as to render it inconvenient for commer- cial purposes. It has the advantage of a landing for boats which is equal to any on the river. The town contains two taverns, two stores, a physician, three lawyers, and a number of mechanics of various kinds, with an aggregate population of about two hundred and fifty inhabitants. The surrounding country con- sists of land of the best quality, well watered, and in- creasing rapidly in population and improvement. Williamsport is about seventy-three miles north-west from Indianapolis. N. lat. 40 deg. 14 min. W. lon. 10 deg. 3 min.
