  Remarks. 
  — 
  Of 
  our 
  timber 
  and 
  timber-trees 
  much 
  of 
  

   interest 
  might 
  be 
  said, 
  did 
  our 
  space 
  admit 
  of 
  it. 
  

  

  The 
  Cypress, 
  for 
  many 
  purposes 
  of 
  building, 
  stands 
  

   unrivalled. 
  I 
  have 
  no 
  means 
  of 
  estimating 
  the 
  value 
  

   of 
  the 
  trade 
  in 
  this 
  timber, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  immense. 
  

  

  There 
  is 
  scarcely 
  a 
  town 
  or 
  village 
  on 
  the 
  Mississippi,
