To persons acquainted with the Valley of the
Ohio, little need be said in regard to the eligibiIi
ty of this poilt as site iora Manufacturing town
in founding which the proprietor does but fulfill the
predictions of all business men familiar with The
locality for the past twenty years.
NIorganza is situated at the Junction Of the O.
hio and Big Sandy River, (Which for some
months in each year is the head of navigation on
the Ohio and the Covingion and Ohio, Mays
vile and Big Sandy, and Lexington and Zig SAN

location at the Junction Of two navigabe Rivers
and three important Railroads now building with
others proected,) presents combination Of adyan-

Louisville. 80 miles from Cincinnati, 900 from
Wheeling. 3 o from Piisburg, 800 miles from
| Richmond. and 4 o miles from Washington. will
furnish facilities for transportation and travel pos
seSsed by M place in this part ol the West. Here
much of the ascending trade and travel of the o.
MO must seek shorter routes 10 the Atlantic Cities
while the productions of an extensive region OF
country adjoining will seek shipment for Southern
and Western Markets at this point, by the Coz.
ington and OHIO Railroad in connection with the
Roads of Eastern Virginia as well as the James
River and Kanawha Canal. Wa. in common
with the whole Valley below, will soon be placed
in direct communication with all the large Cities
on the Atlantic Seaboard, by Il route much shorter
and cheaper than any yet projected. The other
two roads terminating here will place us in con-
nection with the npighboring State of Kentucky
and the whole South Western portion of the I'm
ion.
For confirmation Of the above facts we refer to
the statements and figures set forth in the recent
publication of Lieutenant Maury on that subject !;
also to the reports Of Civil Engineers for the last
five years. In the ability to build up and support
manufactures, and TO establish an extensive trade
with The surrounding country. Morganza may safe
ly challenge competition with any other Western
locality. Its situation at the Month of Big Sandy
enables it already to command the large and in
creasing trade of that River. as well as of other
fertile valleys in Western Virginia and the adj
joining States; the Agricultural and Mineral re.
sources of which, awaiting only proper encourage
ment are as yet not half developed. : 1t is in the
midst Of the great Coal and Iron region of Virgin
ia, Kentucky and Ohio; hence it may be fairly
asserted that Norganza is wanting in no essential
element Of prosperity.
The site is admirably adapted for building pur-
poses. The Ohio River bottom is As Of mile
wide and has water front Of two miles on the
Ohio. and ! mile on the Sandy River, and as.
cends at the rate of rs feet per mile as it recedes
from the Ohio River. 1t has good landing al
all stages of water. The location is healthy
one; the latitude and climate corresponding with
those of Louisville. Ky. The title is indispula-
ble the whole survey of 500 Acres. having been
The property of the Morgan family for so years.
