The total number <^ inhabitants in i790,a49»07 3.»07/>94 were flavea. Thia State is wa- tered by nwny ntvinble rivers, the principal m which are Savan- nah, Edifto, SantcCt Fedee, and their branches. The tide in ao part of the Sute, flows above 35 g^ilei from the £ea. A canal of ai miles in length, conneAing Cooper and Santee rivers, i« nearly completed. The only harbours of note, are thofe of Gharleflon, Port*Royal, and Georgetown. The climate is difiinrent in different parts of the State. Along the fea-coaft, bil- ious difeafes and fevers of various kinds are prevalent between Ju- ly and Odh>ber. The upper country, iltuated in the medium between extrexae heat and cold, is as healthful as any part of the United States. Except the high hilb of the Santee, the Ridge and fiane few other biila, thit country it like one extenfivc plain, tin Ku reach the Tryon and Hog* ck Mountains, aao miles N. W. of Charkfton. The whole State, to the diftance of 80 or 100 miles from the JTea, generally (peaking, is low and kvel, almoft without a ftfme, ami aWunda aore or leia, efpecially on and nor ibc rivers, with fwamps or marfliei, which, when cleared and cultivated, yield, in Cavoura- ble fealbns, on average, an annual income of llrom ao to 40 dolls, for each acre, and often much moac : bttt this ipecies of foil cannot Imi eoltivated by white men, without ccdangcring both health and life. Thefc fwkmps do not cover an hundredth p^ of the State. It is curious to obferve the gra- dations from the feasroaft to the upper country, with tefpaft to the produce, the mode of culti- vation, and the cultivators. On the iHands upon the fea-coaft, and for 40 or 50 milet hack, and on the rivers much farther, the cultivators are all (laves. The articles cultivated are corn, rye* oats, every fpecies ctf palfe, and fintatoes, which, with the finall rice, arc food for the negroes ; rice, indigo, cotton, and fome hemp, for exportation. In th« middle fettlements, negroes are .arc not fo numerous. The maff ter attends perfoiuilly to his owa bufinefs« The land is not prop- perly iltuated for rif;e. It pro- duces tolerable good indigo weed, and fome tobacco is raifed for exportation. The fanner is con- tented to raife corn, potatoes, oats, rye, poultry, and a little wheat In the upper country, there arc but few negroes ; gen- erally fpeaking, the farmers have . none, and depend, like the inhab- itants of the northern States, upon the labour nf tbemfelvea and, faoulies for fubliftence \ the plough is uCed abxvoft wholly. In- dian cov« in great quantities, wheat, rye, barley, eats, potatoes,, £cr. arc raifed for food ; and to- hacT^o, wheat, cotton, hemp, flai^ and iptligo, for exportation.
