NEWYnEK nAuY 1RiBlj Ne, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3 1858.

VIII you who propose reno ing to the far West,
subject yourselves and faml es 10 the hardshps of
a border life N That vlgor Jus climate Viii you
set up your cabin upon the bleak prairie or in the
bowling wilderness viii long distances aud lonely
and dangerous roads, t', market, 10 mill, to black
smith shop, 10 ,st-office, "a church. to
school. Ia neigh oors and friends Think
twice, before tab .ng such step. Are you pre-
pared Ia carry t" n bushels of wheat long distance
10 market, aud exchange the whole for one pound
of tea or Ia lie medicine for your suffering family
who have zen prostrated by the missma that rises
from the 'Jrairle, IS from ten thousand stagaant
pools Think again, friends, for indeed these
things arr worth thinking OF. Have you thought
of bU wing YOUR loved ones. all IN succession IN
lon .y spot near your cabin, unnotced and I'M
n curucd by your nearest nelshoors, whose hearts
.n,e become hardened by their own suffering, and
IN consequence turn a deafear 10 your appeals for
,beir sympathy Or would you prefer Ike
hero 70 be- Yourself the victim, leaving them 10
buHet the storms of fate, and retrace their weary
WAY back TO their native land These things are
constantly occurring, and yet IT Is seldom mat
any on. tskes enough notice of them Ia NEIL
ton them in the public prints. 1t is expected, as
A matter OF course, that u large portion oi these
Western emigrants are to be lmmoialed upon
the altar of adventure. and consequently 'hrlr
suferincs create no sensation and produce no m
quiy
or. should you be- fortunate enough 10 escape
the aforementioned disasters are YOU prepared 10
contend with low prices of farm produce, and hlgh
prices of whatever you have To buy, with worth
less banks and floods of counterfeit money. with
lawless neiphbors and bands of desperadoes, on
whom civilization has only had the effect OF deyel-
ornc their vices, thus rendering them more iormi-
dable than the savage or the wild beasts of the
forest Think once more, friends, for all these and
innumerable other nameless ills are quite sure 70
assail the Western emigrant.
Turn, then. your faces Southwark TO more so
cal community and more genial cline. Here,
good lands aud good markets await you in the heart
of civilization. Here kind-hearted neighbors VIII
sympathze in your mistortunes and rejoice IN your
prosperity: and here you can in reality reclIne I'M
der your own fig tree with none Ia modest or make
you afraid. But have you got the Western
fever" very bad indeed Go out there. and IT you
YOU escape other Ills, a more potent Western
fever" native of the soil will cure your former
malady: when. should you survive, you can, as
many already have done, turn your back upon the
inhospitabl. West" and seek the pure atm0S
phere md other advantages of Eastern Virginia.
But suppose YOU come here first and see how
Won Ike il. 4 few hours ride by rail vii bring
Won here and the price of hrst-class bali lFtlcket
will pay the expense. You viii not 90 out ot the
world but directly to the central portion OF It to
the capital of this great nation. And, should you
settle In Fairfax you may go 10 the city with ear
load of produce sell il for cash. AT It's full value
repair 10 the House of Congress, hear the great
spirits pour out their eloquence for a few hours.
nav your respects to the President, and other
friends and be- home the same day 10 take supper
With wife and children. X.
