TOWN OF PINE BLUFF,

MCPHERSON COJIWI3.l
 sss :l | ..ii..s tosss Tiii : . .siaered
 R- for safe at Auction, on Monday, the 18th day of October next, and succeeding days, on credit ofsix and twelve months, the purchaser giving bond, with approved Esecirity.
 The locality of this town is on the south side ofthe Arkansas river, about 50 miles | below Little Rock, and equi distant above the Post of Arkansas, on ahandsomely el- eyated bluff bank, the first which presents itself Tn ascending this noble river. Ihls bluff and the plain several miles in it's rear, are covered with lofty pine of the finest quality, which taken in connexion with large Cypress, a few miles above and adjacent to the river, which is sur Erounde ed oy four or five saw mills, presents, perhaps, the greatest facilities for build ing that can be found west of the Missis- sippi.
 For twenty miles above and below this site, and Oh both sides of the river, are to be found the most fertile, wide and con- tinuous boHoms of land that this river fur- nishes, principally above highwater mark . afording to the cultivator of the soil a prospect for the growing ofcotton, as well as all the productions necessary for the snstenanee and comforts of life, notte De surpassed The Bayou Barthelm, which runs through this county parallel to the Arkansas river, a few miles south of this place. is clothed with rich bottoms suffi- cient to sustain dense population. This stream already claims hourishing and in- creasing settlement.
 Jefferson county is now rapidly increas- ing in population, wealth, and enterprise i; and from the fact that it contains larger bodies of fertilecotton land than any coun- ty of the same extent in the Territory, in connexion with many other local adyanta- ges, 1t will necessarily give respectabil- lty and importance to its permanent and central seat of justice, which few other loca tions can boast.
 Pine Bluff is as healthy and beautiful situation as is to be found on the Arkansas river, and affords every inducement to the mechanic and merchant that any new town in a new and promising country could present.
