led by very few places. It's situation on Ia
most seutherly bend Of the upper Ohio River.
10 miles above Cincinnati, go below Wheel
ing, $40 below Pittsburg, $50 miles from Rich
mond, and 40 miles from Washington, will
furnish facilities for transportation and travel
Possessed BY no, place in this part Of the
West. Here much Of the ascending trade and
travel Of the Ohio must seek shorter routes TO
the Atlantic cities, with the productions Of an
extensive region Of country adjoining will
seek shipment for Southern and Western Mar-
kets at the point, by the Coyington and Ohio
Railroad in connection with the Roads Of East
ern Virginia, as well as thelJanes River and
Kanawha Canal. We, in common with the
whole Ohio Valley below, viii soon be placed
in direct communication with all the large Ci-
ties on the Atlantic Seaboard, by route much
shorter and cheaper than any yet projected -
| The other two roads terminating here will
place usin connection with the neighboring
State Of Kentucky and the whole South Wes-
tern portion Of the Union.
For confirmation of the above facts, We re-
fer to the statements and figures set forth in
the recent publication Of Lieutenant Maury on
that subject; also to the reports Of Civil Engi-
neers for the last five years In the ability TO
build up and support manufactures, and to
establish an extensive trade with the surroun-
ding country, Morganza may safely challenge
competition with any other Western locality
Its SITUATION at the mouth of Big Sandy ena.
bles IT already to command the large aud in
ereasing trade Of that River, as well as Of 9TH
er fertile valleys in Western Virginia and the
adjoining States; the Agricultural and Min
eral resources of which, awaiting only prop
er encouragement, are as yet not half develop
ed. Itis in the midst of the great Coal and
Iron reSi6n of Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio;
hence it may be fairly asserted that Nor
ganza is wanting in no essential element Of
prosperity. I'd
The site is admirably adapted for building
purposes. The Ohio river bottom is As of a
mile wide and ascends at the rate Of 25 feet
per mile as it recedes from the Ohio river.
The l2catioD is healthy one; the latitude and
climate corresponding with those of Louisville,
KY. The title is indisputable; the whole sur
vey of 500 acres, having been the property of
the Morgan family for so years. III -
