The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-10-14
A PUBLIC SALE OF LOTS IN THE CITY
OF LA SALE,

rs PROPOSED to be held upon the ground on
i FRIDAY, the 22d day Of November next
La Sale which will henceiorward be the port of
entry for the largest trade on the gulf, ID 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 a wharf
without Tightening.
The proprietor of this site, after a 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
Gull 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 TO Yucca
TAM decidedly superior advantages for concentra-
ton Of the principal trade of the Gulf
1t is not deemed necessary 10 speak at large of
the peculiar convenences and advantages OF the
position of La Sale. A slight glance at the map
(tafen 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 Gulf will
show conclusiveiy to intelligent men that IL must
command the entire trade of the rich valleys Of the
San Antonio, Guadalupe, La Bacca, Navidad, Col
orado, Caney, and Bernard rivers in Texas, well
as the trade of all northern Mexico, west of Loredo
or Eagle Pass, embracing FL Paso del Norte, Chi
huahua, Durango, Sonora, &c. Already the trade,
which for quarter OF a century past has gone to
these regions by way Of Santa Re, is taking the
route by way OF the bay of Matagorda. From this
bay to the city of Chihuahua, the distance ID less
than from Santa Fe. No question is therefore
tertaned that nine tenths of what has been hereto
fore called the Santa Fe trade will after the pres
ent year, take its by La Sale from all the
eastern (f not also the westerly cities of the Union.
Ii may also be looked upon an adjudicated fact
by the common of the world, that the over
land line of trade and travel between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, whenever IL may be resolved
on a national work, must have its best eastern
terminus practically at La Sale, wherever il may
suit politicians scctonally interested (os-
tensibly) to fix it. II will certainly be the point Of
embarCation for the principal emigration from Eu-
rope TO the State of Texas.
Facilities in wharf, warehouses, hotel, &c. hav-
ing been recently constructed al La Sale, the pro-
pretor now with great confidence presents il 10 the
consideration of intelligent, practical men, who
may wish Immediately to engage in active bust
ness make profitable investments in real estate,
atIording more certain and greater advantages
than have been afforded, since the commencement.
