The thin, elastic, yellow glistening metallic looking scales found in many of the boulders, are yellow mica, or, as it is commonly called in this country, isinglass.

FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
well known to geologists, that that soil is the most productive, which has been derived from the destruction of the greatest variety of different rocks; for thus only is produced the due mixture of gra- vel, sand, clay and limestone, necessary to form a good medium for the retention and transmission of nutritive fluids, be they liquid or æriform, to the roots of plants. Now, Indiana is situated near the middle of the Great Valley of northwestern America, and far distant from the primitive range of mountains; and her soil is accordingly formed from the destruction of a vast variety of rocks, both crystal- line and sedimentary, which have been minutely divided and inti- mately blended together by the action of air and water. It has all the elements, therefore, of extraordinary fertility. -
FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
The constitution provides that an enumeration be made every five years of all free white male inhabitants, above the age of twenty-one years, and the representation of both houses of the General Assembly is apportioned by such enume- ration in such ratio, that the number of repre- sentatives shall never be less than thirty-six, nor exceed one hundred, and the number of senators not exceeding one half, nor less than one third the number of representatives. Every free white male citizen, twenty-one years of age, who has resided in the state one year, is entitled to vote, "except such as shall be enlisted in the army of the United States or their allies." Elections are held annually, by ballot, on the first Monday in Augu t.
The Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Sena- tors, hold their offices for three years. The judi- ciary is vested in a Supreme Court, in Circuit Courts, Probate Courts and Justices of the Peace.
The Supreme Court consists of three judges, who are appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, for the term of seven years, and have appellate jurisdiction.
64
PUBLIC LANDS.
The Circuit Court consists of a presiding judge in each judicial circuit, elected by joint ballot of both houses of the General Assembly, and two as- sociated judges in each county, elected by the quali- fied voters in their respective counties for a like term. The Probate Courts consist of one judge for each county, who is elected by the voters, for the same term.
Justices of the peace are elected in each town- ship for the term of five years, and have jurisdic- tion in criminal cases throughout the county, but in all civil cases, throughout the township.
EDUCATION.
The same liberal provision of one section of land in each township, has been made for the encour- agement of common schools, as in other western states.
Academies and seminaries of learning have been established in many of the large towns-a college at Bloomington, from the encouragement of state funds. Other institutions are rising up; among which are, the Hanover Institution in Jefferson county, and Wabash college at Crawfordsville.
PUBLIC LANDS.
In all the new states and territories, the lands owned by the general government are surveyed and sold under one general system. Several offices, each under the direction of a surveyor general, have been established by acts of congress ; and dis- tricts embracing one or more states assigned them.
65
PUBLIC LANDS.
The office for the surveys of all public lands in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, is located in Cincinnati.
In the surveys, Meridian lines are first esta- blished, running north from some prominent place- these are intersected at right angles, with lines run- ning from east to west, called Base lines. There are five principal meridians in the land surveys of the west-the first and second of which are connect- ed with the surveys of Indiana.
The first principal meridian, is a line due north, on the eastern boundary of the state, from the mouth of the Great Miami river.
The second principal meridian, is a line due north from a point on the Ohio river; 9º 29' west from Washington.
From these principal meridians, with their cor- responding base lines, the country is divided into townships of six miles square; which are sub- divided into sections of one mile square or 640 acres-and these again are subdivided into quarter sections of 160 acres each. These divisions are designated by the surveyor, by appropriate marks in the field, which can easily be distinguished from each other. If near timber, trees are marked and numbered with the section, township, and range, near each sectional corner. If in a prairie, a mound is raised to designate the corner; and a billet of charred wood buried, if no rock is near.
Ranges are townships counted either east or west from principal meridians.
Townships are counted either north or south from their respective base lines.

PUBLIC LANDS.
Fractions, are parts of quarter sections intersected by streams, or confirmed claims.
The parts of townships, sections, quarters, &c., made at the lines of either townships or meridians, are called excesses or deficiencies.
Sections, or square miles, are numbered, begin- ning in the northeast corner of the township, pro- gressively west to the range line, and then progres- sively east to the range line, alternately terminating at the southeast corner of the township, from one to thirty-six, as in the following diagram-

In the state of Indiana there are seven land dis- tricts with offices attached to each, open for the sale and entry of public lands, as follows :
The Cincinnati District embraces all the lands east of the following old Indian boundaries, viz : Be- ginning where the old Indian line strikes the Ohio, in range 13 E .; thence with it, say N. N. E., to where it intersects the other Indian line in Sect. 23, T. 11, R. 13 E. ; thence S. W. with another Indian

line to where it intersects another line in Sect. 33, T. 10, R. 11 E .; thence with that line, say N. N. E., to its bend in Sect. 11, T. 21, R. 13 E., and thence N. E. towards Fort Recovery, to where it intersects the state line in Sect. 36, T. 23, R. 15 E. The Jeffersonville District, (commencing on the Ohio,) is bounded on the west by the second princi- pal meridian, as far north as the line between town- ships 9 and 10 north; thence east with the line be- tween township 9 and 10, until it makes the Indian boundary line on the south side of Sect. 33, T. 10, R. 11 E .; thence (being the Cincinnati line) with the Indian line northeastwardly to the junction of the Indian lines in Sect. 23, T. 11, R. 13 E .; thence S. S. W. to the line in range 13, on the Ohio ; thence with that river to the beginning ..
The Vincennes District embraces all the lands west and south of the following lines : Beginning on the Ohio, where the second meridian first leaves the same; thence north with the meridian line, until it is intersected in Sect. 1, T. 9, R. 1 west, by the old Indian line; thence with the old Indian boundary northwesterly, until its intersection with the Illinois state line in township 16 north.
The Crawfordsville District is included in the lines beginning on the Illinois line, where the In- dian line strikes it in township 16; thence S. E. with the Vincennes line on Indian boundary to in- tersection with the Meridian line in Sect. i, T. 9, R. 1 W .; thence north with the meridian line to the corner of townships 9 and 10; thence east with the line between townships 9 and 10, to the south-cast corner of T. 10, R. 1 east; thence north with the line between ranges 1 and 2 east, to the N. E. angle

of T. 26, R. 1 E .; thence west with the line be- tween townships 26 and 27 to the Illinois line, and with that line to the beginning.
Indianapolis District, beginning at the S. W. cor- ner of T. 10, R. 2 E .; thence north with the line between ranges 1 and 2 east, to the line between townships 20 and 21 north; thence with line between townships 20 and 21 north, east to its intersection with the old Indian or Cincinnati line, in range 13 east; thence S. S. W. with the Indian or Cincinnati line, to its intersection with the line between town- ships 9 and 10, in range 11 east ; and thence west with the line between townships 9 and 10 to the beginning.
The Fort Wayne District, beginning at the S. W. corner of T. 21, R. 2 E. (being the N. W. corner of the Indianapolis District ;) thence east with the line between townships 20 and 21 to its intersection, on R. 13, with the old Indian or Cincinnati line ; thence N. N. E. to the bend of this line, and then N. E. with it to the Ohio state line, in Sect. 36, T. 23, R. 15 E., being the north corner of the Cincin- nati District ; thence with the Ohio line to the north boundary of Indiana ; thence west with that boun- dary to the line between ranges 6 and 7 east ; thence south with the line between ranges 6 and 7, to where it would be intersected in the Miami Re- serve, by the line between townships 26 and 27; thence west with the line between those townships to the line between ranges 1 and 2 east ; and thence south with the lines between R. 1 and 2 east, to the beginning.
The La Porte District embraces all the residue of the state : being the lands north of the line be-

tween townships 26 and 27, and west of the line between ranges 6 and 7 east.
Lands bought of government are exempted from taxation for five years after purchase. All other lands owned by residents and non-residents are sub- ject to taxation annually, for state and county pur- poses. If not paid when due, costs are added ; the lands sold, are subject to redemption within a limi- ted period, generally two years.
HISTORY.
This country was first explored by adventurers from Canada, with a view to the Indian trade, to- wards the close of the seventeenth century ; and the place where Vincennes now stands is said to have been thus early occupied as a trading post. A company of French, from Canada, made a settle- ment here in 1735. The country in common with the western Valley was claimed by France, until it was ceded to Great Britain, at the treaty of peace in 1763, under whose jurisdiction it remained, until subdued by the American arms under the intrepid Gen. G. R. Clarke, and his gallant band, in 1779.
A Territorial government was organized by Con- gress in 1787 : including all the country north-west of the Ohio river, which was then called the North- western Territory.
In 1802, when the state of Ohio was organized, all that part of the Territory lying west of a line due north from the mouth of the Great Miami was organized into the Territory of Indiana, which was divided, and from which Illinois Territory was form- ed in 1809. In June, 1816, a constitution was adopted, and, at the ensuing session of Congress, Indiana was made a state.
