 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 Bufe- 10 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 north Invest, from one hundred and twerA y fire to one hun dred and seventy-fye 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. Uninserrnpted by speculat0rs, lands are very cbeap, produ- cling wheat. corn, oats, tobacco, ets., equal to any part of the United States snd for the raising of hogs, cattle, horses. noules, sheep, etc.. is scarcely to be equalled anywhere, tho truth of which is fully demonstrated from ths 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 emigration will continue unprecedented jip 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 the beautiful and ever navigable White river. Buffalo City being situated at the foot of the Buffalo Shoals, the head of reliable naviga- tion on White river, is the place selected by nature itself for trading point for that inn mense country. Nature has said to navign- tors, here is the great Buffalo Shoals: thus far yon 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 lots and sold some years ago, as the present proprietor will do immediately. 1t would nnquestionably 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 Vim. Byers, of Batesyille, 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 river in convenient size lots and blocks, with 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, not 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, and pure spring water gushing out near at hand, and failing cold pure healthy we'll water to be had in any part of the town, with fine woods convenient, combined with many advantages and ronveniences, with the health fulness of the place, ma kes, beyond doabt, the prospects at this point for csty, in fact, far superior to any other point in all th, TO- zion of country, and inferior to no point on White river, or any other in the State of Ar kansas. tst.

 Mail facilities must and will no doubt SCOTT be extended by steamboat up White river from Jacksonport to BuiIale City, {it already having been extended from Jacksonport up Black river to Pocahontas.) When this is done it furnishes transportation for freight and pas seDgers out to the Mississippi river the year round, Justifying 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. f.kIR
 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 " living monuments" of s' masterly in to denounce everything as 'svisiona- ry7 that seems new to their sleepy fnteffffrrtsy and who war upon the moving spirit of the day, and would, if they could, stranglc every enterprise, lock the wheels of advancement to a " stand still" 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, Sand their own unftness for the tines"
