 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-fve miles from Jacksonport, and one hundred and forty miles from Des Arc. Buff faIo City is accessible for good size steam boats most of the year, and small boats of very light Graught 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-fve miles, and on the north one hundred miles, and on the south and south west, from fifty to seventy-five miles. This vast extent of high, healthy country is unsur- passed in fertility in the vest Uninterrupted by spectators, lands are very cheap, produ- cling 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 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 the beautiful and eve" navigabe 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 a trading point for that in- mense country. Nature has said to naviga- tors here is the great Buffalo Shoals thus far you shall go up this beautiful stream and no farther; hence Buffalo City took its name, Had th;s natural site for a city been judiciouSy 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
 
 of Wm. TunstalI, of Jacksonport, Arkansas, and further, in part by entry in the United States Government Land Office, at a 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 buldings and promenades. etc., etc. The river being straight the banks having a 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 never-faiing cold pure healthy well 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 ill the State of Al kansas.
 Mail facilities must and will no doubt soon be extended by steamboat up White river from Jacksonport to Buffalo City, Git already Having been extended from Jacksonport up Black river to Pocahontas.) When this is done t furnishes transportation for freight and pas sengers ont to the Mississippi river the year round, iustifying at once the establishments 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 wlo the country; men of sound mind and judgmeh
 Two boats are now preparing to run troa Jacksonport to Buffalo City, connecting wll the regular New Orleans, Memphis and Nc poeon packets

They but thereby prov their utter ignorance of the facts and de"' opments of the present age, and their OWE unftness for the times."
