THESE LANDS were granted by the
d Government to aid in the construction Of
this Road, and are among the richest and most
fertile in the world. They extend from North
east and Northwest, through the middle of the
State, to the extreme South, and include every
variety Of climate and productions found be-
tween those parallels Of latitude. The North
ern portion is chiefly prairie interspersed with
fine groves, and in the middle and Southern
section timber prcdominates, alternating with
beautiful prairies and openings,
The climate is more healthy, mild and equa-
bic, than any other part Of the country--the
air is pure and bracng, while living streams
and springs Of excellent water abound.
Bilumnous Coal is extensively mined, and
supplies cheap and desirable flcl, being fur
nished at many points atS2 to S4 per ton-and
wood can be had at the same rate per cord.
Building Stone Of excellent quality also
abounds, which can be procured for little more
than the expense Of transportation.
The great fertility Of these lands, which arc
a blaclaTich mould from two 10 five feet deep
and gently rollmg,-their contiguity to this
Road, by which every facility is furnished for
travel and transportation to the principal mar
kcts North, South, East and West, and the
economy with which they can be cultivated

can be found; and present the most favorable
opportunity, for persons Of industrious habits
and small means to acquire comfortable :
dependence in few years.
