The deep silence which reigns in these regions, and which is interrupted only by the rushing sound of the waves, and the immense mass of water, produce the illusion that you are no longer standing upon firm ground ; you are fearful less the earth should give way to the powerful element, which, pressed into so narrow a space, rolls on with irresistible force. I had formerly seen the falls of Niagara ; but this scene, taken in the proper point of view, is in no respect infe- rior to that which th...ey present. The immense num- ber of streams which empty into the Mississippi, and caused it to be named, very appropriately, the Father of Rivers, render it powerful throughout the year ; it generally rises in February, and falls in July. In September and October the autumnal rains begin ; and they continue to swell it through the winter. When it overflows its banks, the Mis- sissippi inundates the country on both sides, for an extent of from forty-five to fifty miles, thus forming an immense lake.
