Rut these mechanics may say, Why go TO the

,vbere land is equally abundant and untitled

sand miles distant the same boat, captain and
clerk pass by the shop of the artisan and the
bouse of the planter. There is but little need OF
middle men, who eat up so much OF the LABOR OF
the hard working artisan These are the chief
reasons why your surplus mechanics should come
10 the central rivers of this valley This district
offers special attractions, because 1t is not only
central and healthy but because it abounds in the
materials used bv artisans, such as iron, wood,
CLAW lead &c. and bituminous Goals tor motive
power and heating purposes An acre OF coal can
Be had in this vicinity for 81 %. Think OF 10000
bushels OF Goals, convenient oil access and hun
dred cords of oak, maple and black walnut timber

enavigable stream for the price OF days work
A few years since the company who commenced
operations here purchased ire males of coal direct
Nv on the river bank and chiefly at this low price
They now sell the coal in the mills at cent the
hushel and man with wheelbarrow, pick and
shovel can net out from 10 to 200 bushels in l0

made purchase of land under these coal hills, and
ON the river bank, and intends TO put up work
shops to be rented at low rate, with power light,
gas and heat. In this movement there Is not only
money, foresight, but philanthropy. Here is Of
fered to the artisan not money, but, what is bet
1er the means of making money. The proprietor
will furnish the shop to work in and the house to
live In The artisan has the TOOLS and, by their
use, he can soon save enough to buy lot and put
alp house of his own. Here will be the profit Of
the land proprietor, He has purchased by the
acre and wished to sell by the foot and, in order
10 make sales, his tenants of the work shops must
accumulate capital.
The Cotton mill of this place is about to be put
in operation and the help have already been
selected in New England at average Lowell wages
The mill, as respects the building, machinery, ar
engagements, probably is not surpassed by any In
the world.
With such Instruments Cotton cheaper
than in New England by over cent pound
with market at their very DOORS and with the
most select and efficient overseers and help 10 pc
found in New England, the proprietor must be
able to make whatever profits can be maze out OF
the business The operatives will get good wages
will have certainty OF constant employment
and will be able to lay up money, because they
will get cheap food and cheap fuel
Canneton has within IL months, increased IN
population about 1000. We expect larger M
crease during the next year. Yours, &c.
