OF LA SALE,

rs PROPOSED to be held upon the ground, on
i FRIDAY, the Odd day of November next.
La Sale, which will henceforward be the port Of
entry for the largest trade the gulf is 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
to 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
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
Gulf of Mexico (and moro especially of the entire
coast of Texas,) has selected La Sale in perfect
confidence that Z possesses more than any other
place, from the mouth Of the Mississippi to Yucca
tan, decidedly superior advantages for conccntra-
ton OF the principal trade of the Gulf
IL is not deemed necessary to speak at large of
the peculiar conveniences and advantages OF the
position of La Sale. A slight glance at the map
(taken in conneIion with the fact that it 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

or Eagle Pass, embracing FL Paso del Norte, Chi
huahua, Durango, Sonora, SC. Already the trade,
which for quarter Of century past has gone 10
these regions by way OF Santa Fe, is taking the
route by way Of the bay of Matagorda. From this
than from Santa FG No question Is therefore
tertaincd that nine tcnhs Of what has been hereto
fore called the Santa Fe trade WILL after the pres
ent year, take its course by La Sallc from all the
eastern (f also the westerly cities of the Union
IL 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 1t may be resolved
on national work. must have its best eastern
terminus practically at La Sale, wherever II may
suit politicians sectioually interested (os-
tcnsiby) to fix it, IL 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 at La Sale, the pro-
pricor now with great confidence presents IL TO the
consideration Of intelligent, practical men, who

mess, make profitable investments in real estate
afording more certain and greater advantages

of this progressive century, at any point west
