 LEWISBBRGH.
 T OTIS in this town will be offered foF HA sale at the next July term of the Conn ty Court, commencing on Monday, the 9th day of said month, on a credit of SEX and twelve months, purchasers giving bond and approved security.
 Lewisburgh IS beautifully situated on the north bank Of fhc Arkansas river, 45 or 50 miles above the Little Rock, and it is be- lieycd. untes more advantages Tn point of locality of situation and tine fertility of the adjacent country, than any tewn in thc Territory. It is situated between the two aourlshing settlements of Pcconcry be- low, and Point Remove above, and most excellent body of land on the opposite side of the river, iaciuding Esq r Ellis settle- ment, and extending southwest as far as the prosperous settlement of Fourche-la- Favrc. Northeast from Lew burgh, forS or 10 miles, the country Is gently rolling and interspersed with a few rich praries, until yoH reach the rich bottoms of cane and cypress, and the north fork of fCadron and sources ofPoint Remove; all ofwhich are very fertile and susceptible of exten- siYe settlements Further on in the same direction, you steike the.yery hourishing settlement Ghe most Iemote in the coua- ty) ofLittle Red river, known by the name of Rich Woods, or New Kentucky. This picturesque, healthy and fertile section of the country IS settling rapidly with an en- tcrprising, industrious class of citizens, who find It greatly to their interest to make isewisbHrgh the place of deposite for their imports and exports, being the nearest possible point to navigation. which will, without doubt establish trade of mutual and lasting benefit between the two places.
 Lewisburgh is the permanent Scat of Justice for the county ofConway, the cen Ire of business for the immense regions of inc country above ementioned, which, with the acknowledged healthiness of the situa- ti' will unite in making it place of no l,s considerable commercial importance.
 Within afew hundred yards of the town is fine bold neYer~failng chalybeate spring, and also spring of pure water building materials of every description are Tn great abundance on and near the premi- ses, such as clay suitable for brick, an ex- cellent stone quarry, and extensive groves of fine timber.
 A courthouse and jail will be contract ed for and completed in the current year. winch, together with some private dwell iings wanted immediately, present strong induce ments to the nechanic, who will be liberaiiy encouraged
