Northwestern States are of such character
that great majority of immigrants arriving
at this port embark directly upon steam
boats for st. Louis and other Western cities.

q commercial point of view, the unsurpassed
fertility Of the soil, its many nayigable
water courses, and the ease with
which artificial means of communica-
ton may be established owing to the
easy grade upon which railroads and canals
may be constructed, will convince the most
casual observer that Louisiana is unsur.
passed in her agricultural and commercial
advantages.

nual report of the late Chief Of the Bureau
Of Immigration, and carefully examined the
BOOKS Of the officer would respectfully sub
nit the accompanying bill for your earnest
