 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 ville, 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-five miles from Jacksonport, and one hundred and forty miles from Des Arc. Buff falo City is accessible for good size steam boats most of the year, and small boats of very light 6raught 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 Buffa- To Shoals, the head of reliable navigation on White river, surrounded by very large ex- tent of fertile settled country, commanding an
 immense wagon trade west and northwest, from one hundred and twenty-five to one hun dred and seventy-five miles, and on the north one hundred miles, and on the south and south- west, from fifty to seventy-fve miles. This vast extent of high, healthy country is unsur- passed in fertility in the west. Uninterrupted by speculators, lands very cheap. produ- eng 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 years by thousands. from every part of the Union. and from information received, the emi grafton will continue unprecedented in almost any part of the globe The wants of this vast country. so rapidly settling up, makes l it absolutely necessary that trading point be established at the most accessible point nearest and most convenient to the masses on the l beautiful and ever navigable White river. 1 Buffalo City being situated at the foot Of the
 Buffalo Shoals, the head of reliable naviga- 1 ton on White river, is the place selected by
 nature itself for trading point for that im-
 mense country. Nature has said to haviga-
 tors, here is the great Buffalo Shoals thus far you shall go up thi' beautiful stream and no 1 farther; hence Buffalo City took its name. 1 Had ths natural site for a city been judciousy laid off in lots and sold some years ago. as the present proprietor will do immediately it would unquestonably have been 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 Batesvile and in part of the estate of Wm. TnnstaH, of Jacksonport Arkansas, and further, in part by entry in the United States Government Land-Ofiice. at heavy outlay of money, is determined to lay it off immediately in real city style, fronting the river in convenient size lots and blocks, with wide front row, as well as wide streets and alleys; also, squares for public buildings and promenades. etc., etc. The river being straight, the banks having gradual descent, not subject to cave, with deep water close up to the shore, with the beautiful level rich grounds all above rfow, combined with the beautiful scenery partly surrounding the town, and pure spring water gushing out near at hand, and never-faiiing cold pure healthy we'll water to be had in any part of the town, with fine woods convenient, combined with many advantages and convenences, with the health fulness of the place, makes, beyond doubt, the prospects at this point for city, in fact, far 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 kansas.
 Mail facilities must and will no doubt soon be extended by steamboat up White river from Jacksonport to Buffalo City, Cit already having been extended from Jacksonport up Black river to Pocahontas.) When this is done it furnishes transportation for freight and pas- oeHBeis is out to eilo 4NiSsisstppl IIFer tue year round, jlustifying at once the establishment of various stage lines from Buffalo City to the interior, north and northwest, west, south and southwest. These things are no fiction, but the conclusions of those best acquainted with the country; men of sound mind and judgment. Two boats are now preparing to run from Jacksonport to Buffalo City, connecting with the regular New Orleans, Memphis and Ma poleon packets.
 | To persons desiring to settle in Buffalo
 City, we say don't pay any attention to those
 who would try to discourage you, who stand
 out as 'sl living monuments" of " masterly in- activity" to denounce everything as !" visiona- ry0 that seems new to their sleepy intellects. and who war upon the moving spirit of the day, and would, if they could, strangIe every enterprise, lock the wheels of advancement to
 a " stand still,p and block up all avenues of trade and commerce.. They but thereby prove | their utter ignorance of the facts and devel-
 opments of the present age, "and their own unftness for the times" r9 uga gJr A good dsite, also $500 worth of lots will be given for the immediate. establishment of good Saw Mill, and good site and S500worth of lots will be given for the establishment of first class Flouring Mill, at Buffalo City. A better location for such business cannot be found anywhere.
 The sale of Lots is to be made in good faith and without reserve. Lots can be had at pri- vate sale.
