COLUMBUS , the political metropolis ofOhio , and very nearly the geographical centreof it. It is situated on the east bank of theScioto river, in the centre of Franklin county,and occupies a beautiful slope, just below theconfluence of Whetstone river with the Scioto.It was a compact forest in 1812. It now hasa number of respectable schools, a classicalseminary, the customary number of stores, abank, four printing-offices, a commodious brickmarket-house, a state-house, a building for thepublic offices, a penitentiary, and an asylumfor the deaf and dumb. The state-house is 75hv 50 feet. The top of the cupola is 10G feethigh. Around it arc railed walks, from whichthe whole town is visible as from a map. Itcommands a delightful landsca}>c over a coun-try charmingly variegated, as extensive as theeye can reach. The village of Franklinton, amile to the west, and the winding Scioto, arccomprehended in tiiis view. The building, thatcontains the public offices, is 100 by 25 feet.In a line with it and the state-house, is thehandsome court-house for the Federal court.These buildings arc all on the public square, anarea of 10 acres, reserved for public use, inthe centre of the town. The penitentiary is inthe south-west angle of the town, and inclosedwith a high stone wall. Immediately belowthe penitentiary is a lateral canal, on whichcanal-boats have already floated to the town,connecting this town with the Ohio and Eriecanal 11 miles south. This will greatly addto the resources of the town. There are threechurches, of which the Presbyterian church isspacious, being 50 by 50 feet. Manufactureshave commenced, and its relations to the canalwill give a new impetus to their growth. 'Pilecircumstance of its being the political metrop-olis of its great state, attaches to it a distin-guished and polite society.
