THESE LANDS were granted by the
u Government to aid in the construction Of
this Road, and are among the richest and most
fertile in the world. They extend from North
cast and Northwest, through the middle of the
State, to the extreme South and include every
variety of climate and productions found be-
tween those parallels Of latitude. The North
ern portion is chiefly prairie, interpreted with
fine groves, and in the middle and Southern
section timber predominates, alternating with
beautiful prairies and openings.
The climate is more healthy, mild and equa-
bic, than any other part of the country-the
air is pure and bracing, while living streams
and springs of excellent water abound.

supplies cheap and desirable fuel, being fur
nshod at many points at So 10 $4 per ton---and
wood can be had at the same rate per cord

abounds which can be procured for little moro
than the expense of transportation.
