KENTUCKY.
This State, ranking the eighth in wealth. population and importance in the Union dates its first settlement back to about 1760, at which time it formed a portion of the State of Virginia. The art admitting it as a separate State was passed February 4, 1791, and the admission took effect June 1, 1792. It is situated between latitude 36° 80' and 39º 06' north, and longitude 5° 00' and 12º 38' west from Washington, comprising _. 24,115,200 acres, or nearly 40.000 square miles, and contains a total population. according to the census of 1880, of 1.648.708, of which 271,522 are colored. Com- parison with the previous census report (1870) shows that, in the decade last past. Kentucky has increased her population at a ratio of twenty-five per cent. The surface of the State is an elevated plateau, sloping from the Cumberland mour- tains on the south-east to the Mississippi und Ohio rivers on the north and west. It lies within the Mississippi basin, and within the special division of the Ohio' valley. The average elevation 1.000 feet above the sea. The numerous rivers penetrating all parts of the State have worn their channels deep enough to secure ample drainage to the lands, with few exceptions. It has a river boundary of 813 miles; by the Chottrol, or Big Sandy, on the north-east, 120 miler; by the Ohio, on the north, 643 miles, and by the Mississippi, on the west. 50 miles. The principal rivers have their source in the Cumberland mountains, and afford to all parts of the State river communication with the Ohio and entire Mississippi- river system. No State has a frontage on navigable rivers equal to Kentucky. This insures cheap transportation in the future for the abundant fores's and large deposits of coal and iron ores contiguous to the streams. As a whole, the sur- face of Kentucky includes a larger area of very fertile, and a less area of barren soil, thun any other equal area in a State so rich in mineral wealth. The production of these soll includes the whole of the crops of the Mississippi valley. except the sugar-cane; corn. wheat, oats, rye. barley, hemp, fax, and sorghum. are grown over its whole area. All the ordinary fruits attain their perfection here. Cotton is raised as a crop in the south- western region. Tobacco is more extensively cultivated here than in any other State in the Union. The best natural grass-lands of the continent are found here. The blended horses of the State are perhaps the most famous of its exports. Its remarkable superi- ority in this regard is due in part to the care given thereto, and is, in the main, the result of the peculiarly favorable ffects of a combination of circumstances, in which soil, climate, and water all have place. Cattie and sheep also do well here. The climate here, as in all America, is variable; it is, however, much less so in Kentucky than in the States farther north. The average temperature is about 55° Fabr. lti rare to have the thermometer below zero, and it never remains twenty-four hours below that point.

KENTUCKY STATE GAZETTEER.
The summers, although warm, are not oppressive. The rainfall is about forty-eight inches per annum along the Ohio river, inervaring toward the south-east to about sixty inches at the eastern extremity, This is distributed with fair regularity throughout the year.
As regards proximity to markets, this State has peculiar advantages. Reference to a map will show that it is the most centrally placed in the group of States east of the Rocky mountains; from its geographical centre it is about an equal distance to Maine, Florida, Southern . Texas and Minnesota. The State of Colorado, the great Lakes and the mouth of the Mississippi fall in the sweep of the same line. The existing railroads of the State are, on the white good, and want to lat . to make them a system of trunk lines exceedingly well adapted to the development of her resources. The Lowville and Nashville Railroad with its numerous branches extend through and form a network be- tween Louisville, New Orleans and all points South. This road, the largest in the State, Is how controlling 2.200 miles. Having within the last few years absorbed the smaller roads through the south and south-western port of this State, now forms a must complete link with the whole system of Southern railroads. Next in importance to the State is the Louisville, Cincinnatial Lexington, from Circlemati south-west to Louisville and from theace east to Lexington and Mi. Stemning. A line now in course of construction the Ashland Coal and Iron Raitrorl will shortly connect the eastern terminus of this road with the Chesapeake and care and this, when completed, will give Kentucky what the most needs, a direct line to the s worn seaboard. The importance of the Cincinnati Southern Railway cannet bat - perceived at once, traver-ing the whole State, north and south, and crossing the bluegrass lands on their longest and best section. The Kentucky Central Railway opens up the trade of the bluegrass region, the finest agricultural see- tion of the State. The Paducah and Elizabethtown Padlroad penetrates Western Ken- tacky in such a manner as to afford easy access to a large portion of that section. The Eastern Kentucky Railway rass through the counties of Greenup and Carter, and. it expectations are falfiled, will eventually form a much needed line through South-eastern Kentucky. The New Orleans and St. Louis, and the Memphis, Paducah and Northern. in the south-western portion. assist in forming through lues from that section to St. Louis and New Orleans.
The mineral resources of Kentucky are very extensive It is the only State having within its borders parts of the two great coal-fields. The area of coal is over 12,700 square miles. exceeding the area of the Pennsylvania coal-fields, or the entire coal area of Great Britain ani Island. In the eastern portion of the State, especially, iron abounds and has as vet hardly reached a fraction of the possibilities of production. The greater part of the ore territory of the State is as yet untouched by the pick of the miner.
About 50 per cent. of the area of the State is primitive forests, abounding in a great variety of valuable timber, among which are oak, maple. ash, yellow poplar, black wal- mut. hickory, lynn, beech, che-tnut and red cedar. The financial condition of Kentucky is most excellent. The State is practically free from debt, owing but $180,000, and having on deposit in the bank holding the bonds an amount more than enough to pay off the salle.
- Without indulgence in excessive claims, we may reasonably expect for Kentucky in the time to come a substantial growth proportionate to her natural advantages. 2 nother century will, doubtless, see the Ohio Valley the great seat of those productions that require cheap power and cheap food for their making, bringing & population equal to that of the Aqual areas of the great European States.
