PUBLIC SALE OF LOTS IN THE CITY
OF LA SALE,

Is PROPOSED to be held upon the ground, on
i FRIDAY, the AID day of November next
la Sale, which will hence forward be the port Of
entry for the largest trade on the gull u situate
upon the mainland exactly at the northwestern
angle of the Gulf of Mexico at the terminus Of the
present line Of mail steamers from New Orleans
10 that coast, and embraces the only ground upon
the western margin of the bay of Matagorda, where
vessels drawing more than six feet of water can
come to anchor and discharge cargo at wharf
without Tightening.
The proprietor of this sitc after residence of
twelve years at Galveston, the last six of which
have been principally devoted by him TO hydro
graphical and typographical examinations of the
Gulf OF Mexico, (and moro especially of the entire
coast Of Texas) has selected La Sale in perfect
confidence that IL possesses, more than any other
place, from the mouth of the Mississippi 10 Yuca-
tan, decidedly superior advantages for conceutru-
ton of the principal trade OF the Gulf.
1t is not deemed necessary TO speak at large of
the peculiar convencnccs and advantages OF the
position Of La Sale. slight glance az the map
(takeu in connection with the fact that il presents
the best entrance and anchorage to be found for
many hundred miles on that part Of the Cuff will
show concluRlvcly TO intelligent men that II must
command the entire trade of the rich valleys of the
San Antonio, Guadalupe, La Baccs, Navidad Col
orado, Caney, and Bernard rivers in Texas, well
as the trade of all northern Mexico, west of Lorcdo
or Eagle Pass, embracing ri Paso del Norte Chi
huahua, Durango, Sonora, &c. Already the trade
which for a quarter of century past has gone TO
| these regions by way Of Santa Re, lie taking the
iOutt Wy way O Tue Oh rom tiils
bay to the city of chihuahua, the distance is less
than from Santa F6 No question is therefore en-
tcrtanod that nne-tcn Of what has been hereto
fore called the Santa Re trade will, after the pres
cnt year, take its course by La Sale from all the
eastern f not also the westerly cities Of the Union
II may aso be looked upon adjudicatcd fact
by the common sense of the world, that the over
land line Of trade and travel between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, whenever il may be resolved
on as a national work, must have its best eastern
terminus practically at La Sale. wherever it may
sun politicians men sectionaly interested (os-
tensibly) TO fix il. IL will certainly be the point Of
embarcation for the principal emigration from Eu-
rope TO the State of Texas.
Facilities in wharf, warehouses, motel, &c, hav-
ing been recently constructed at In Sale, the pro-
prletor now with great confidence presents it 70 the
consideration of intelligent, practical men, who
may wish Immediately TO engage in active bust
ness make profitable investments in real estate,
as afiording more certain and greater advantages
than have been afforded, since the commcnccme
of this.progressiUs century, at any one point west
OF the Alleghanies.
