the TsTritory.. It IS located on Nobie's Fork OF
Stranger Greek on the Pottawatimfe ioad from
ParkVfile on the Missouri river to Uniontown, ION
the Kansas River, and at the junction of, the Fort
LeayenWorth road, It; is about 30 miles from
Pazkville, 15 from Leayenworth, il from Kick
apoo City and IS miles from the Kansas river,
oa d high beautiful belt Of preirie4of about half
male in width, with large body Of good, timber
on each side; The advantages OF the location are
already known and appreciated and many persons
are now waiting to build. - = s9Fei4!s
. The location is about central betweenl the
Missouri and Kansas rivers, and With the best
natural roads in the west leading to it. It is a.
bout central to country that is susceptible of a
large and dense population, ana thing points
to this place as the centre of county that will
be, formed, making it of necessity a county seat
There is an abundance of lime stone rock, in
exflaustib1e veins Of Stone coal in the diate
vicinity, which have been tested, and propedit
be good. Added to all these there is good tim
Der, good soil, and good water adjoining the
town. There are several fine springs of clear

aware Mills were established, said to be an ex-
feellent mill site. 80 .2a = = -asStjf3 ;f g
The town will be SURVEYED immediately and
Plats made, but no public sale of lots will take
place before next spring. But in order to accom-
moodte tnoSe WHO want 20 ou1lu lnIs Winler
few lots will be sold at private sale. sasf2t ~
An examination of the premises, will not fail
TO conyiee any one of the superior claims of Jack
sonville. The great body of the travel from the
regson of country bordering on the Mo. River
from Weston down to Parkvilie, crossing, to the
valley Of the Kansas must pass through this
place.
We have submitted a few facts to the public
to elicit their attention. A glance at the coun-

lovely the eye rested upon. A rare chance

A letter from Riga, dated the lst ult.,s says:
"The fears of a hostile visit from the ships
of England and France, entertained BY our gov
ernor, were so great as to induce him this sum-
mer to have large quantities of stones sunk in
the channel TO our harbor, so rs to prevent the
entrance of at least the ships of the line. And,
indeed, this measure of precaution has been
executed with such success as entirely to i'm
pede the navigation Now that the British
ships are withdrawn, several loaded merchant
vessels endeavored to leave the port, but the
distractions were found to be insurmountable
and after several attempts to get out, the ships
were obliged to return to the port and discharge
their cargoes, some of them having suffered
considerably damage from humping on these
artificial rocks, though the captains knew ex
sctly were they were situated. The entrance
to our port may therefore be considered as
totally impervious to hostile ships of war, and
in the event of a peace, will require vast
amount of labor combined with great expense
% clear away the distractions, and restore
our tnrbor to the status quo ante bellum.
