Such, to the best of our knowledge are

more sparsely peopled sectors of our country
| now inviting immigration We cannot say
which should be deemed most attractive; for
some prefer milder, others more bracing air
some incline to catle-breeding others to grain
growing. We have said nothing of Fruit
| but this does best in the central States, worst
at the two extremes; though good Apples are
grown both in Minnesota and in Texas.
Peaches flourish in the latter not in the
former. We Judge from what we saw that
Texas next to California, will produce the
Grape most luxuriantly of any State in the
Union.
But, whatever locality you may choose,
never fail to associate in companies of twenty
to one hundred families and make bargains in
the great city nearest you for the conveyance
Ivy railroad of your persons and goods to their
destination. You may thus save nearly half
the expense while travelling far more safely
and comfortably than otherwise.
