Sept. 1** -- I have this day rode a mile and a half into the woods to examine the remains of another fort ; and I am truly thrown into a wilderness of conjecture. The fort lies upon 2 sides of a small creek, which is about the centre between the N. and S. branches of Sandy creek. It is an irregular fort, but was built with a good deal of art. The ditch is at present in many places, 4 feet below the surface. Standing in the ditch I find that I can just oversee the land in the fort. In one direction it is an hundred rods across ; and on an average, it is about 50 wide. There are a number of gateways. On both sides of y® creek there are most singular walls. Upon the East side there is one redoubt, about 8 rods from one of the gateways. Some pai'ts oi the wall are doubled -- or, rather, there is an inner and an outer wall. The ground appears to be very much broken up on the No E. corner -- and looks as tho' there had been works within works. Within the walls upon each side of the creek there are wells, or peculiar springs which answered for wells. 1 am in doubt whether those appearances are such as give sufficient evidence that they are the effects of art.

Upon the west side of the creek tlie well is at the corner of ye fort -- and upon the top is about 9 rods round. It descends, and is very steep until it comes to a point at the bottom. In the corner of this basin there is a living spring -- the water rises and passes again into the ground. A pole may be run down into the spring about 15 feet.
