a VALUABLE SUGGEsrIoN-A suggestion was
made to the City Council of Evansville, at its
last meeting. which might be adopted with adj
vantage in other portions of the State We copy
from the Times:
Willard Carpenter. ESQ. made suggestion to
the Council at its last meeting that we should
like to see carried out. He proposed that pa m
phlet should be prepared, for general circulation
and to be seat to England aud Germany, setting
forth the advantages of Evansville and the coun-
try tributary to il, for emigration. Mr. Carpen-
ter said that he found out when in Europe that
the people knew very little about Indiana, and
especially Southern Indiana. They were well
acquainted with Wisconsin and Illinois, and
other portions of the West. but knew almost
nothing about this State The reason was. that
efforts had been made by pamphlets. circulars
and agents sent over to make the people OF Eu-
rope we'll acquainted with the advantages those
States afforded emigration He considered the
natural advantages of Evansville as superior 10
Cincinnati and was satisfied, having travelled ex
tensively both in Wisconsin and Indiana. that the
country tributary 10 Evansville was much supe
rior to Wisconsin The lands were cheaper and
better, and markets were convenient He said
lands could be bought to day in Pike and other
counties near us by paying the principal and in
terest on the purchase or entry mODev, and some
OF these lands were the best IN the State Such
a work gotten up with care. setting forth the
advantages of our city and the country adjacent
to it, in a commercial agricultural and educa-
tional point of view. would encourage and bring
"A large class of emigrants TO settle among u.s.
adding to the wealth and business OF our city
and country generally. We hope this matter
will be we'll considered before action is taken
upon il.
