The Capital Of Michigan

A correspondent of the Jackson Gazettc, thus describes the country where the Capítol has been located : " Thus the long vexed question has been settled and the capitol of the State is placed well nigh in the wilderness. - Those, however, who suppose that the proposed locaiion is a frog pong, or on a dre:iry wnste, are vastly mtstnken. A flying visit a week or two since to " Seymour's place," so called, and through a portion of the town of Lansing, enables us to correct any false impressions that may ave been obtuined in reference to the character of tho country. The part of the town through which we passed, (and this includes "Seymour's place,",) is what is termed timber or heavy open' ings. The surface is slightly undulating, the soil rich, and :he face of the country delighlful. The land is elevated and free from marsh ; nnd for arable purposescan scarcely be excelled. Grand Uiverruns through the town, and at this point il is no inconsiderable stream. The water is clear, the currtifTt rapid, and the banks high. At Seymour'u place, a dam is erected across the river, and a saw-mill in operation. The water power secms to be extensivo and valuable, and should that point be the place, a more desirable loention for a villngo cannot be well desired. It is situated on the -ast bank of the river. and the country back is truly magnificenf. On the whole, since Jackson conld not secure the coveted honor, we nre pleased with this location. lt will cause that portion of the State to settlo rapidly - ts rich resourers will be developed, and we shall see a thriving village grow up where there is now but a single log house.
