| do not believe that the advantages of this
country are sufficiently known by our people
along the Jersey shore. The general notion that
the country is cold, ungenial region, is as op-
-posite to the truth as you can conceive. There
is no better land in the United States. The eli
mate is decidedly more congenial than is suppo-
sed, and the prospects OF settlers are remarkably
hattering. The poorest man may have large
farm by squatting on an unapproprated tract, for
81 25 an acre, or he may purchase antestablished
claim or title for tracts that have been already
improved, at a trhing advance. Every thing
that is produced in the Middle States, can be rais-
ed here with at most one-third the labor.


Wheat Yields As TO so bushels to the acre with
the least possible labor; oats and corn about the
same. Melons, pumpkins, turnips, potatoes, &c.
exceed in size any thing | ever saw. The aver
age crop of potatoes is from 4 TO 500 bushels to
the acre. One farmer in the vicinity has raised
more than the largest quantity named, on a sim
gle acre. There is ready market for far more
than the whole produce Of the country, as large
portion of the people engaged in the mineral
or mining business, and its collateral branches


Every thing produced commands very high
prices Flour sells readily at $40. Wheat has
been at So dollars, corn brings ST. 25, potatoes
ST., beef and veal IL cents, butter 80 cents, eggs
81 cents, and so on. Much of the supplies are
now brought up from Illinois and st. Louis, in
the steamboats,. Labor is high; and there is a
constant demand for laborers. Men who get 8
or ] dollars in Jersey, might here receive $50 a
month, and found. days work is s2. You
will observe, also, that all the substantial com
forts of life are enjoyed here. The society is
good, and the country is filing up with an indus
trious people from New York and New England
daily. Numerous schools and churches have been
established in various parts of the country, within
a few months, and within three years the terrific
ry must become state. Now is the time for
emigrants.
