The proprietor of this site, after "A residence Of
/ twelve years at Galveston the last six of which
I 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 1t possesses, more than any other
place, from the mouth of the Mississippi to Yuca-
tan, decidedly superior advantages for concentra-
ton of the principal trade of the Gulf.
II Is not deemed necessary to speak at large of
the peculiar convenences and advantages of the
position Of La Sale. slight glance at the map
(taken In connexion 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 conclusively to intelligent men that it 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 a. well
as the trade of all northern Mexico of Loredo
or Eagle Pass, embracing III Paso del Norte, Chi
| huahua, Durango, Sonora, &c. Already the trade,
which Tor quarter OF a century past has gone to
| these regions by way OF Santa Fo, 10 taking the
| route by way OF the bay of Matagorda. From this
bay to the city of Chihuahua the distance is less
/ than from Santa Fe. No question is therefore en-
tertaned that nine. enths 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 Of not also the westerly cities of the Union
l II may also be looked upon adjudicated fac,
| by the common sense of the world that the over
land line of trade and trave. between the Atlantic
| and Pacific oceans, whenever ii may be resolved
on as a national work, must have its best eastern
terminus (practcdfty) at La Sale, whenever it may
suit politicians seclonally interested Cos
