SALES on pIIBIIC LAND.

HUNTSVILLE, (Alabania) July i0.-Ihe
third sales of The United States land com
ment ed in this place on Monday last: The
section of country now offered Tor sale, Is
perhaps one of The poores, IN the purchase,
but such is the a,idity TO procure, onad-
vaI,ageous terms, Cotton land IN this
mild aud comgeulal climate, that the sales
have been brisk and the prices much
higher than was generally expected IL is
believed that this land has gone quite as
high and perhaps higher than similar quail
ity in the late sales of February and March.
This fact furnishes an evidence OF The
continued prosperity OF the country and
ability of people 10 purchase. Every other
kind of property MAINTAINS lis stand
withoHt any material alteration which
shews the correctness OF the calculations
made by rejecting men during the late
sales. The sales oi September and No
vcmber are looked forward TO, with pecu-
liar interest, as the countries ihen TO be
disposed of are not surpassed in fertility
by any portion OF the Alabama Tcrlio-
ry. [Rep.
