Progress Of SOuthport.-As the season
of navigation approaches, we cannot help
but notice the increased active business
appearance of our village. Andtruy, we
think, never before did a spring open upoa
Southport, giving ernest throughout the
season, OF SO great increase and activity in
every department of business We have
been informed from sources upon which we
can rely, that at least forty new buildings
will be erected in Southport, during the
present spring and coming summer. We
make this assertion, confident Of its truth,
and In the present distressed pecuniary con-
dtlon of the territory, need we say more
OF the progress Of our town; and il is evil
dent, that if the wants Of our population
demand this increase Of buildings, there
must be an increased activity in every de-
partment of business. We might pen
long article upon this subject: we may recur
to IT again, but at present we must conclude
by saying, that the increase Of our town is
demanded by the wants Of the country
around us, and whilst that continues 10 fill
up with an enterprising and industrious
population, we have no fears but our course
will be onward.
While on this subject, we cannot forbear
10 mention the progress of an improvement
which has for some time been projected,
and which in the absence OF a harbor. is
OF more than little importance, not only
10 our town, but the country around US.
We allude to the construction of acharf
which 1t is intended to projec. into the lake
that vessels and steamboats, in all ordinary
weather can lay alongside and discharge
and receive freight. A large share of the
timber TOR this work is upon the ground,
and it will be completed as early as posi-
BILE after the weather will permit. This
will give Southport facilities for the land
ing OF freight, passengers, &c. as good as
are enjoyed on the west side Of the lake,
north of Chicago. We have not time at
present, to allude further 10 this subject,
