WISHING TO transfer a portion of nv labor
TO the South West, where have large and
valuable landed property that desire 10 bring
into active operation, offer for sale one of the
most desirable highland Estates in this region of
country.
This Estate is in Nelson county, 5 miles below
the Court House, hourshing little village-and
= miles above New Market, on the James River
Canal. The tract contains w

more than half OF which is IN wood. remarkably
well timbered-and very large portion OF it as
line Tobacco land as any in that part Of the couu-
Try, Most Of the cleared land As in a good state
OF cultivation, having been improved by the par
'tial use of Plaster and Glover, to which think
IT IS as well adapted as the famous ''Short Hills"
Of Loudoun.
The tract occupies beautiful valley. the CEN
tire oil which Is cleared, leaving supply of tim
Der on each side, running a short distance up the
sides OF the low mountains forming the valley.
Although situated among mountains, this tract OF
land lies remarkably weli-being level as
could be desired; with not 80 acres the noun
tain side too steep for cultivation.
II has, think, near 100 .4eres IF Creek and
Branch Flats, (most Of which are highly impro-
we'd, having been keptup as Tobacco Lots, capa-
6tc IF being concerted into ,oafercd meGdo,v. This
meadow land alone, under a judicous system OF
management, such as is practised by the Farmers
oil the Valley OF Va, would give profit greater
than the interest on the purchase money for the
Estate! Hay has during the last year been sell
ling on the Canal, for 81 to ST. ,s5 per lOO-and
the demand is likely to continue, for besides sup.
plying the large number of horses used in the
navigation of the Canal, the price of transporta-
ton is so low as to enable the farmers convent
ent to the line to furnish this article to all the
towns from Lynchbnrg to Richmond.
Nhis grand State work-the ]. X. and h. Ca
nal, by rendering transportation certain safe, and
cheap, has already enhanced, and must continue
to enhance the value of the lands along the line
OF the Improvement. 1t has practically, SO far

The land offer for sale is well enclosed-in a
good state of cutivation-is susceptible Of divi-
sion into three or four farms, each well supplied
with timber on too sides, and Astounding with

Oily covers itself with green sward-the best OF
our natural or artificial grasses.

thousand dollars in buildings and other improve

TO the judcious and managing farmers of the
Valley, this tract of land, which considering its
locality and convenience to markeO could soon
be made as productive as their own, which they
can sell at three or four times the price ask for
mine-holds out inducements which think they
