VALUABLE LAND
For Sale.

The subscriber offers for sale his Plantation in
CASTOR county, N. c., on the waters of Taylors
Creek, containing $40 Acres. About one-half is
cleared, and mostly under cultivation the present
wear From 35 to 40 acres is fine bottom land. The
buildings are plain but comfortable. Gold has been
found in two places on the land and, judging from
surface specimens, the indications are sufficiently
encouraging to warrant the expense of thorough
plorations.
There is fine crop of corn, peas, &C.. grow
ing upon this land and it is offered for sale mainly
from the fact that the owner resides in different
county, and his former slaves now free. 1t is
situated upon the line of the Will, Char Il Ruther-
ford Railroad, and about miles from the flourish
ing Town of Charlotte, thus making it convenient
and valuable investment A portion Of the land
(decompesed granite) would be finely adapted to the
culture of the grape and other fruit.
Persons wishing to examine the land will cali up

point out the boundaries; and for further nforma-
ton to terms, will address at Brevard Station

Justice. The applause when this part Of the message
