 cenhy been given in the Waterbury Amer can. of the f;,rma ton of a Company from illis and adjacent sections, for the purpose Qf emigration 10 some desirable section in tie west, to establish colony; still, re-. Iteration of the same facts ia the Enquirer may arrest ille attention of some who have not vel been, and might no, otherwise be informed of this fact, and yet, who may thereby be induced io consider il,e projeci snd perhaps to become zcalous actors in the enterprise. The ohjeci of lI,is prnjec, is cencisely this i: for number of forty ur fifty, or more, if' they can be obtained, to agree in turning company, and going to rSne desirable point in some of the Vest ern States. say Iowa, for instance, where geod land can he purchased at Govern- lfient prices, and situated on some strea III ihai wllI g sfnrd good water privileges. and which uainraliy possesses proper facilities Scr nianufaciuriiig, atd where timber is snlficienily abundani for building purposes. lencing aud fuel, aud of their starting | sei> clement.

 Sdch a settlement when formed would at once attract tie attention Ol western e,nisranis snd settlers. and land ss' pnr. chased and owned by the members wonld of cnarse increase in value as the settle. nent increased; and the fact, that in all pOriiOns ol ii,e West, small settlement IS but io be made, and village or city is sonn seen in it's place 1; should give tiiem the fnl assurance that they would derive $, once great profit from. the sale of their latsd, to say nothing of the many other sd vsniages which the increase Of population ard business in other respects would coz fer upon shem. Said genileman, who has traveied much in tle west, and who is now a resident oi Iowa, in recent letter addressed to me on ihis snbjeci, There are many points on tie Missouri river that caa SOW easily be obtained which " i'll war rant your company the highest success ;n prscuriag, although it will take longrr iipe 10 bring them in state of perfection. The mouth of the Big Sioux river above Council Biufs, is one of the points; when once settled it's history will be a duplicate of that of Chicago, io vii Lois that cosis ailhe raie of fen shiIlings per acre hui a few years ag1, now bring ffon, $500 iO 9l0.00O per lef.
