To persons acquainted with the Valley of the
Ohio, little need be said in regard 10 the eligibili
ty of this point as site for 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.
Nlorganza 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, J and the Covington and Ohio, Mays

location at the Junction OF two navlgablo Rivers

River and kanawha Canal. We. in common
witt, the whole Valley below, will soon be placed
in direct communication with all The large Cities
on the Atlantic Seaboard, by route much shorter
and cheaper than any yet projected. The other
two roads terminating here will place us in con
neciion 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 10 the ability to build up and support
manufactures, and 10 establish an extensive trade
with the surrounding country. Murganza may safe
