 Buffalo City is situated on the South side of
 White River, seventy miles by land and one
 hundred and fifteen miles by water above Bates
 vile, Arkansas, at the foot of the Buffalo
 Shoals, eleven miles above the mouth of the
 North Fork, and one mile above the mouth of
 the Buffalo Fork of White River, at the head
 of reliable navigation on White River, about
 two hundred and fifty miles by land from St,
 Louis, one hundred and twenty from Little
 Rock, two hundred miles from Memphis, one hundred and fifty miles from Fort Smith, ninety-ive miles from Jacksonport. and one hundred and forty miles from Des Arc. Buf. falo City is accessible for good size steam boats most of the year, and small boats of very light draught nearly or quite all the year.
 By glance at map of Arkansas, per sons can see at once the destiny of Buffalo
 City, situated as it is, at the foot of the Bufa-
 To Shoals, the head of reliable navigation on
 White river, surrounded by a very large ex- tent of fertile settled country, commanding an immense wagon trade west and north west. from one hundred and twenty-five to one hun dred and seyenty-fye miles, and on the north one hundred miles, and on the south and south- west, from fifty to seyenty-fve miles. This vast extent of high, healthy country is unsur- passed in fertility in the west. Uninterrupted by spectators, lands are very cheap, produ. cing wheat. corn, oats, tobacco, etc., equal to any part of the United States and for the raising of hogs, cattle, horses. mules, sheep, etc., is scarcely to be equalled anywhere, the truth of which is fully demonstrated from the fact that emigration, of the most substantial and desirable character, has been pouring into this region of country for the last few hyy oe Union, and from information received, the emigration will continue unprecedented in almost any part of the globe The wants of this vast country, so rapidly settling up, makes it absolutely necessary that trading point be established at the most accessible point nearest and most convenient to the masses on tn. beautiful and ever navigable White river Buffalo City being situated at the foot Of the Buffalo Shoals, the head of reliable nayiga- tion on White river, is the place selected by nature itself for a trading point for that i'm mense country Nature has said to naviga tors, here is the great Buffalo Shoals thns far you shall go up this beautiful stream and no farther; hence Buffalo City took its name Had this natural site for city been judiciously laid off in Tots and sold some years ago, as the present proprietor will do immediately, it would mquestionably have bean a place by this time of no small note The undersigned, having become sole proprietor of the grounds and buildings by purchase, in part from Wm. Byers, of Batesville, and in part of the estate of Wm. Tunstall, of Jacksonport, Arkansas and further, in part by entry in the United States Government Land- Office, at heavy outlay of money, is determined to lay it off immediately in real city style, fronting the wide front row, as we'll as wide streets and alleys; also, squares for public buildings and promenades, etc., etc. The river being straight, the banks having gradual descent, pot subject to cave, with deep water close up to the shore, with the beautiful level rich grounds all above overflow, combined with the beautiful scenery partly surrounding the town, md pure spring water gushing out near at land, and never-faiing cold pure healthy well water to be had in any part of the town, with me woods convenient, combined with many advantages and conyenences, with the health 'ulness of the place, makes, beyond doubt, he prospects at this point for city, in fact, ,ar superior to any other point in all this re- zion of country, and inferior to no point on White river, or any other in the State of Ar lansas.
 Mail facilities must and will no doubt soon ,e extended by steamboat up White river from Iacksonport to Buffalo City, Git already having ,een extended from Jacksonport up Black iver to Pocahontas.) When this is done it urnishes transportation for freight and pas engers out to the Mississippi river the year ound, justifying at once the establishment of 'arious stage lines from Buffalo City to the interior, north and northwest, west, south and outh-west These things are no fiction, but he conclusions of those best acquainted with he country; men of sound mind and judgment.
 Two boats are now preparing to run from acksonport to Buffalo City, connecting with he regular New Orleans, Memphis and Na- 'oleon packets. .oig
