5 situated Tn Crawford county, on the left A- bank of the Arkansas river, about five hundred and fifty miles from the Mississip- pI, by the course of the river, and few miles below the Indian boundary line. The im- mediate situation is picturesque and pleasing to the eye, easily approachable by the roads, unusually elevated for position on tils mar gin of the river-~indeed, a portion of the townste is high and commanding eminence with an abundant and nevcr-failing supply of the most palatable and the purest water. Steamboat navigation to this point, and for some distance above, is as safe and as sure as our river affords; its extension to any great distance above is preeaTioas, uncertain and not to be relied on.

 Van Buren has more extensive regions of back country to support 1t, beyond all shadow of competition, than any other point or place on this river, or ill the Territory, known to the Writer. The contiguous settlements of Lees creek and Frog Bayou have here their trade. The large, populous and agricultural county of Washington, in this Territory, must resort to Van Buren as the point of em- barkation for her produce, and must seek her supply Of essential articles from the same quarter; with equal truth, and with equal po- eitlveness, may the same remarks be made Va oootlA-NSSSSiit NttcsOtlt. st IdrIuly dQNuHt- ing Tn numbers, in means and in wants! To add another weghty item in the list of ad4 vantages, the projected United States road, now in train of execution, from Jackson. in lawrence county, by the county seat of Ezard and Washington, crosses tho Arkansas river at Van Buren.
