The authorized force is 1,867. The recruiting service is progressing tistactorily, and it is believed that in a ,w months the disparity will be overcome. listments to the number of 10,541; were ade during the year .ending Sept. 30, but !is was not the whole number who desired t. win glory, lighting under the banner of U de Sam—for there were upwards of ILO,- 010 persons who offered to enlist, and were k r( fused in consequence of minority and. gen e alunfitness for service. C;asualities amount ec to 5,500. It is lamented, as a growing evil, that ap p ications for the discharge of minors ale so frequent ; the infants who are released sub jr et the Government to a s e rious bill of ex pmse. The Secretary recommends that the contract should be Made binding in every c Ise Where deception has been employed,and a modification of the existing law is called .r. The troops retain the Caine geheral distri ttion ; four additional regiments have been . ganized. The Cavalry companies which ere sent against the Sioux have gone into 'inter quarters at Fort Lavenworth, aml ill he in position for operations in the oring. The MIL Infantry clie , .ks the Indians I the Oregon route. All intercourse with the Florida Seminoles is been strictly prohibited. Efforts are in ogress for their removal from the Vlorida 1 untry. The troops have explored the re on, have opened roads, and have arrived at iurces of accurate information respecting le territory now in possession of the 11.1.1i:ins, i that future operations will be greatly ra ltated. The propriety of levying %minti er reinforeinuents in the l'acifle Department r the purpose of chastising the savages on at coast, is a question which the Secretary clines to decide, priderring to leave it to I e military commander in the Impartment. is gallantry of the troops in the Indian : mpaigns of the year is spoken of in terms high praisei; but the unusual extent of erations has caused large expenditures, hich have exceeded the approbriations. The anticipations entertained, at the time the establishment of the Hilitury .:I , yium, tve not been fulfilled. The average co t t of aintaining each inmate is $5OO. It . is too uch, and a reduction is necessary. The ember of men received in four years, is 257; i st, so far, $371,497. The new buildings ar Washington will acconimodate 1511 mem to branch of the Asylum at. East Pascagon , ;hiss., is discontinued, and similar action recommended in reference to the branch at • II trrodsburg. The camels and dromedaries which were or .l-red front the East will arrive in February. 'l' vise animals have been found ii,,•fili in the C line; and - will be employed in military ser vi .e here. Proper attention to the coast defences is v. ry important, particularly the fortifications r, Ship Island, as connected with the defence O Ihe approaches to New-Orleans, and the c, mman , L of the inner channel. of ..oininuni e tion between the Mississippi River and Mo b'le Harbor. The entrance of the Columbia II ver should also be fortified. Appropria ti us-are asked for the erection of arsenals in T xas, New-Mexico and on the North Pacific C Ist. New models for all small arms have I), en adopted, embracing the late improve n cuts. A new pistol, with increased length o barrel, and capable of instantaneous change ii to a carbine, is particularly noticed. The work upon the Military Roads has made s tisfactory progress. The survey of the 1 orth western lakes has been prosecuted r ith energy. The snag-boats on the Western r very have been sold. . The Pacific Railroad Expeditions have been s Iccessfully.completed. It is decided that t le most practicable and economical route is t tat of the 32 0 parallel. The Colorado Desert i. not 'lnsusceptible of culture. The Secre t ry is quite favorable to this route, setting f rth its advantages in glaring colors. The p acticability of sinking Artesian wells along lle route was tested. The contributions to p iysical science included in the results of 1 ege surveys are exceedingly valuable. The final portion of the Report is au e aborate consideration of the military de f.nces of our Pacific territory. It is argued t at a Railroad to the Pacific is indispensable, f r the reason that tt will be the only means u throwing relief into the Pacific country, in el se of any collision with a maritime-Power, u r own Navy being inadequate to the con y y of the necessary number of storeships. A railroad communication is not only likely t. be a paying enterprise, but it will have t e effect of fortifying the Western Coast I /.] a nt ainst attacks from abroad. No stronger g onnd Waver of a Pacific Road has been t cen by any party not directly concerned in s ecnlation, than that which is assumed by r. Secretary D.tvis. EPORT OP SECRETARY 01' THE NAVY. The report of Secretary Dobbin is an ex emely interesting document. The Home Squadron,. commanded by Cap . in Paulding, consists of the frigate, Potomac, se sloops Paulding , and Saratoga, and the earner Fulton. The Columbia was last at Thomas. No intelligence has been had I f the long-missing sloop .41baily, trhich has leen given up as lost. The Brazil Squadron consists of the frigate •a vannah, Captain Slater ; the sloop German , W7l, and the brig Bainbridge; the Secretary marks that these vessels have been " in ustriously cruising between Rio de Janeiro nd Montevideo ; but, as there has been no special necessity fora squadron there during ()past twenty years, they have done nothing ,ut cruise. The African Squadron, under the command I f Captain Crabbe, consists of the sloops-of ar Jamestown, Dale, St. Louis, and brig Dolphin. The sloop Marion, recently at cited. to the African. squadron, has been - ndetuned as unseaworthy. The slave Trade iouth of therfEquator has been broken p. The Mediterranean Squadron, commanded Captain Breeze, consists of the frigate ongrgss, the steamer Saranac, the sloop ronstellation, and the storeship Snypfy.— othing has been done in the Mediterranean. The East India Squadron, under the coin laud of Captain Abbot, consists of the sloop ilaredonian, the steamer Powhattan, the sloop 'andalia and the storeship J. P. Kennedy. he civil war in China has afforded seine em iloyment for our vessels in the East. The ecretary recommends sending one or two teamers of light draft to navigate the Chinese ivers. The steamer San Jacinto sailed from York in October to relieve the Mace onian, whose . time abroad has expired. The urvey of Behering's Straits and the North acific, under command of Commander ogers, has been carried on with satisfactory isults. The account of this expedition is 1e most interesting part of the Message. The Pacific Squadron is composed of the igate Independence, the sloops St. Mary, !ohn Adams and. Decatur, and the steamer assachuseds, the sloop Warren, and the ip Fredonia. The Squadron is under the I.mmand of Captain Mervin. Like all of his predecessors, the Secretary arnestly recommends an increase of the 'avy, and particularly an addition of steam lips of a light draft of water. A great Na al force, the Secretary hints, cannot be im- I ro ‘c- contend le: ü b d y the .sv tap ith t that a f t the f drum, any like respectable great rmy. . Ile considers our Navy too dhninutive ower, and too feeble to protect even our own I arbors. The aggregate tonnage of the United . tates in 1812, was 1,249,997 tons. For the year ending Jane 30, 1855, it was 5,212,- 0 0,00 10-95, and our Sea coast is now ;greatly ihereased in extent, and the damage which Might be effected by a respectable enemy in sx months would greatly exceed the cost of Navy sufficient to protect our commerce : ,, ciently. The question of an increase of t e Navy the Secretary regards as one of . eace rather than of war. The Secretary enlarges -at great length npoh i e apprenticeship syqem, which he has dopted as a means for Furnishing a reliable ody of seamen for the Navy, and gives the estimony of officers in its favor. But we IMME look in vain for any original idea or sugges tion in Mr. Dobbin's report; it is entirely destitute of anything of the sort, and ex hibits no special knowledge of the service, beyond the figures which are furnished by the heads of bureaus. The estimated expenses of the Department for the ensuing year are $13,524,505 37, which is less, by nearly $3,000,000, than the esti mates of the last fiscal year. POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT The Report Shows a net increase of 662 Post Offices during the year ending 30th of June 1855,—the whole number of offices at that date being 24,410, and on the 30th of November, 24,770. On the 30th of June last there were 7,033 mail routes, at an estimated length of 277,908 miles. The total annual transportation of mails was 67,401,166 miles, costing 85,345,238. Compared with the ser vice of the year previous, there is an increase of 3,397,025 miles of transportation, or of about 51 per cent., and of $675,221 cost, or about 14 4-100 per cent. The increase by railroad service is 3,483,132 miles; by modes not specified, 3,565,177 miles—while the trans portation by coaches is less by 2,325,628 miles and by steamboat 1,335,656. This change re sults mainly from the reletting of contracts in many of the Southern and western States and Territories. On the 30th of June last there were in service 319 route agents at a compensation of $235,170 65-100; 29 local agents at $19,32, : and 981 mail messengers at $100,471 65, making a total of $354,970 30 to be added to the coat of transportation. This makes the total amount for the current year, $5,b'24,950 30, which will probably be increased to $6,000,000 by new services and routes. The cost of foreign mail service, not included here, amounts to $611,467. The Postmaster states that on 3d April last, he cthodudeLl a contract with Mr. James F. Joy, t o convey the mails from Cairo to New-Orleans :Lll.l back daily, he having full power to nego tiate such contract on behalf of the Illinois Central Railroad,but though the latter used every exertion to comply with their engage ment, they failed to do so from the high price demanded of them by the owners of the boats on the line, and the route was accord ingly advertised for reletting. The new distribution schemes have been completed, and each distributing office has now alphabetical lists of all the counties in all the States, except California. In acaord :ince with the late act of Congress, suitable measures have been adopted to put in oper ation the new system of registering valuable letters, but it has not been sufficiently long in operation to be able to forma just estimate of the success of the plan. The Postmaster has, however, found abundant proofs of its usefulness, and of the necessity of bringing it to perfection. The expenditures of the Pepartment fur the last fiscal year amount to $0,988,342, and the gross revenue derived from postage (in land and foreign) are $6,642,136 13, which, adding the annual appropriations made in compensation of mail service to the Govern ment, by the acts of 3d March, 1549, and 3d March, ISSI, amount to $7,342,136 13. De ducting the balance against the United States due to Foreign Powers, for postal accounts, from the above the actual gross revenue of the Department for the year ending 30th of Jane, 1555, will be $7,335,177. The gross revenue of 1854, after deducting foreign bal ances, amounted to $8,516,851 ill, making a difference in favor of 1555 of 3518,519 10. The excess of the cspdndilure for 1355 is $2,- 826,206 16. This excess is attributed partly to the increase in compensation to Postmas ters and Clerks of Offices, and partly to the increase of expenditures for transportafion owing to the great extension of Railroad ser vice. The condition of the Department goes to show the rates fixed by the act of 3d March, 1851, will not enable the Department to sustain itself by its own resources. Another cause of this excess of expenditure is attributed to the letters and documents carried free of charge for members of Con gress and others, and to the immense amount of printed matter cpnxeyed at low rates. The Postmaster-General thinkS that the reduction of fifty per cent for advance payment on news papers is wholly without justification. He also recommends that pre-payment by stamps be made compulsory on all kinds of matter. The expenditure of the Department for 1556 is estimated at 310,199,024 and the means available for the same year $9,010,373, leav ing a deficiency of 31,183,151 to be provided fur. . Reference is again made to the fact that the Collins line of steamers receives from Government $858,000 for twenty-six trips while the British Government paid the Cun ard line $860,700 for fifty-two trips, which, in the opinfon of the Postmaster-General is amply sufficient. Measures have been recent ly taken to lay before the Mexican Govern ment'proposals on the subject of a Postal Convention. The Report alludes at some length to the last Report of the Postmaster- General of Great Britain, and concludes by deprecating the denunciation of the Depart ment for mistakes, carelessness or neglect, instead of advising it of the wrong commit ted and leaving it .to apply the remedy. TREASURY DEPARTMENT The tables on foreign trade show that the increase of dutiable goods imported during the year ending June 30, 1855, over the year ending June 30, 1854, is $126,185,900 ; do. of free goods, $18,3522,926 ; decrease of specie and bullion, $411,430 ; showing a total in crease of $14,028,396 in favor of 1655. The increase last year over 1550 is given thus : - Dutiable goods, 565,746,688. ; of free goods, $18,348,934 : decrease of specie and bullion, $968,950—t0tal increase, $83,144,642. The foreign imports at all the ports of the United States (including of course, California and Oregon) for the fiscal year ending June 3U, 1855, were $261,382,960, against $305,780,- 253 for the preceding year, showing a decline of $44,397,293. The total exports from the United States to foreign' ports for the fiscal year, ending June 30, 1855, were 8275,156,- 846, against 278,241,064 for the preceding year, showing a decline of only $3,084,218. lt will be seen from this that, while for the year 1854 the imports exceeded the exports $27,539,139, for the last year the expoits ex ceeded the imports 813,773,886. The tables further show an increase, during the last year, of 510,102 , 561 in the imports of free goods, but a falling off 'ls'f $51,253,807 in dutiable merchandise, and 53,246,250 in specie. ( )f, the total exports of. specie for the last year, $53,957,418 were of domestic production and $2,289,925 of foreign. The shipments of domestic produce, exclusive of specie, were $22,409,369 less than for the preceding year, while there is an increase of $1,497,231 in the exports of foreign produce, and 512,565,510 in the export of specie. The Secretary favors the admission, duty free, of wool as a raw material, together with chemicals and dye-stuffs, but no interference with the article of iron. The Eastern manu facturers, it is said, would be satisfied with this. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Mr. McClelland devotes a large space in his report to a consideration of the Indian ques tion. His views are clearly expressed, and a number of °recommendations are submitted. The Indian chiefs and warriors, addicted to drinking and gambling, are made the dupes of evil-disposed persons. The system of granting licenses to traders is indicated as the basis of all the evils of which complaint is made. It is necessary to abolish the cash system of payments, and enable the Indian to obtain all he requires at cost price, if we mean to remedy the trouble, or to civilize and enlighten the savage. A study of the history of the Indians, in connection with the conduct of the whites toward them, reveals the fact that Indian disturbances are too often traceable to the indiscretions and aggressions of the white men. Upon this point the re port enlarges. Never before has the Indian been subjected to such severe trials and hard ships; the offences of which he is guilty are often palliated by extreme want. All this impresses the necessity of kindness and for bearance; and accordingly the Secretary sug gests the propriety of attempting to civilize and Christianize the Red Men. He alludes " THAT COUNTRY IB THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LA.BOR COMMANDS THE =WEST BEWARD."-7-BUOILANLIT. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 15, 1856. to the amount of good that has been effected by missionary enterprise, and discovers in the Indian a susceptibility of improvement and civilization, which renders it a duty to persevere in all humane efforts to preserve the race from extinction. In this particular Mr. McClelland and Col. Davis are of two minds. The statistics of this Report cover much space ; we give the principal figures : Amount of land sold last fhual year, acres... 8,730,474 Amount received therefor $2,335,916 Lands surveyed in 1853, acres 13,315,253 Lands sold 6,364 163 Land warrants issued 37,958,912 Virginia military land warrants 1,460,000 Pensioners 14,488 Pensions paid $1,505,112 Patents Issued since January 1, 1832 1,800 Patent•Ofce Building $1,600,000 Expenditures National Insane Hospital 171,341 Indian stock, now held $1,098,879 Surplus fund of the Department 359,246 The business of the General Land Office has greatly increased. The surveys have been vigorously prosecuted, and a large quan tity of land is ready to be brought into mar. . ket during the coming year. °REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AF FAIRS.—CoI..Manny-penny, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, iu his annual report, makes many suggestions looking to an improvement of the Indian race. The evil effects of the pay ment of annuitiesi in cash, to the Indians, are referred to, and the fact that the greater por tion of the money finds its way into the pock ets of white men engaged in selling liquor and gambling, to the great detriment of the morals of the aborigines,is strikingly set forth. The secretary further says: " Combinations of men, too, as powerful as they are unscrupulous, keep constantly on foot systematic & organized plans to deceive and corrupt the chiefs' and principal men, and thus they often obtain the signature of these ignorant, deluded and corrupted people, to powers of attorney and other instruments, appropriatins and assigning to them and their confederates in such nefarious practices large amounts of the funds of the Indians without any valid consideration therefor. These last named parties have frequently been enabled, with instruments and powers of attorney, obtained by means as degrading to them as injurious, demoralizing and cor rupting to the Indians, to obtain the sanction and approval of Congress and the executive departments, and thus the government, in stead of protecting, has in some instances been the oppressors of its wards. On this subject the developementos which hays transpired since the last report induce me to repeat the suggestions 'that all execu tory contracts, of every kind and description, Made by Indian tribes or bands, with claim agents, attorneys, traders or other persons, should be declared by law null and void, and an agent, interpreter, or other person employ ed or in any way connected with the Indian service, guilty of participation in transactions of the kind referred to, should be instantly dismissed and expelled from the Indian coun try, and all such attempts to injure and de fraud the Indians by whomsoever made and participated in, should be penal °Graces, punishable by line and imprisonment.' " WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE To the editor of the Intelligeneer, dated WASUINOTON, D. C., Jan. 4th, 1855 The President, on last Monday, took the whole of both Houses of Congress completely by surprise, in presenting to them his Mes sage, that had been so long delayed from the people of the country by the action of the op posing members, in failit ' t. to organize the lower branch of Congress by the clecti‘ Speaker. The Message is before you, is unnnecessary for me to speak of it in The House refused to receive the no of the President, that is the ahuliti which constitute the majority of the house, did this mean thing. This saute majority that have so long delayed the public business of the country, could not understand, why the Message was presented to the public, when they were not organized. " For this decison of the President, the people of the States will thank him, as well as by their approbation of his independence in not delaying the delivery of his Message, to grati fy a set of disorgauizers in Congress, Who are wasting the public money, when they have the power to elect a,:Speaker any day they think proper. The democratic party, being so few in number in the House, are but abi ding their time in attendance on the moves that the abolition party are making in the House, and will still bide their time, as they are powerless, in their efforts to organize and a Speaker. I have had the pleasure of a long and inter estit, conversation with a citizen of New York, recently returned from London. While in England, this citizen was necessarily intro duced to Mr. Buchanan, the able and accom plished, but free American representative of American principles at the Court of St. James. Mr. Buchanan, we are informed, has now the favor of the British people in a more eminent degree, than any Minister that has ever repro rented this government since the days of the great philosopher, Dr. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. His bland and courteous demeanor, his accom plished manners, his upright and candid course of duty, in his adherence to the justice of his republican principles and the rights of the U. States, have made for him many warm friends in the British Metropolis who are the friends of peace between the two greatest commercial nations of the world. We are informed by this gentleman also, that the conduct of the Editors of the London Times, in refusing to publish the denial furnished by Mr. Buchan an of the charges published against him by the Times Editors, worked sorely against the conductors of that paper, fo• the people seem ed ready to take up his iluarrel in right gaud earnest by condemning the conduct of the Times editors. This shows that Mr. Buchan an, as a citizen of our republican country, has made an impression upon the people of Eng land, that will not be lost upon future repre sentatives of the U. States, should prudent men, like himself, be sent to England to man age the diplomatic relations of the two coun tries. 1113 thstinguised citizen of your State, will, his friends, be presented to the Democratic Convention of next spring, to be as! at Cincinnati, for consideration, as 'e gentleman fur the Presidency of the and, judging from the numerous t tions in nearly all the States of th! his favor, we are disposed to believe unanimity with which the name of Mr. Bu chanan is spoken of for the Presidency, that there can be hut little doubt, but that he will be the chioce . of the Conventinu then and there assembled. Yours, McFARLAND. ST. LOUIS CORREsPOMDENcE. ST. Louis, December 31, 1855. Within a few brief hours the curtain of another year will drop between us and the past. Another year will have terminated, and a new one begun.— "What a mighty sum of events has been consumma ted ! What a tide of passions and affections has flowed ! What tires and deaths have alternately arrived! What destinies have been fixed forever! Once more, our planet has completed one of those journeys in the heavens, which perfect all the fruit ful changes of its peopled surface, and mete out the few stages of our existence; and every day—every hour of that progress has, in all her wide lands—in all her million hearti, left traces that eternity shall behold. Who, on the first night of a New Year, can turn from reviews like these, and sleep upon the pillow of a good conscience, though that pillow should be moistened, aye, steeped in tears ?" May the advent of Fifty-Six brighten and cheer the hopes of those who met the misfortunes of the past. Let those who have desponded cast a glance into the future, and hope for better and brighter prospects in this the new-born year. Let us perse vere and trust in Providence. With a will and a determination many dif f iculties can be overcome.— Let us begin a new life, as it were, and commence anew our labors,—let us make an effort, a mighty effort, to crush out such obstacles as pertain to our subversion. We will have several very important duties to ,perform in the year of '56, one of which is the elec tion of a President to preside over the destinies of he Idiom people. Who the favored gentleman will be, is for futurity to determine, and that fa turity now points to "Pennsylvania's Favorite " Bon in whose hands the reins of this government would be sacredly and faithfully held. It is admitted on all sides that the Hon. James Buchanan, with his un spotted reputation, gigantic mind and acknowledgca statesmanship, is the man for the times and the place—at a period, too, when trouble threatens from abroad; and there is none better acquainted with our foreign relations than he now at the Court of St. James, It is the duty of the friends of Mr. B. to secure his nomination in the Cincinnati Convention, and it is also the duty of the Democracy of the country in the year of '56 to elevate the distinguish ed Statesman of Pennsylvania to the highest office in the gift of the people.

Pennsylvania Land. Twenty-seven thousand acres of good land have d.su purchased, with the inten tion of giving a Farm of twenty-five Acres for each share, payable by instalments of one dollar:a week. It is located in the county of Elk, where a junction will soon be formed by four railroads, immediately connecting it, with its great agricultural and coal resources, with Erie, Dunkirk, Buffalo, Rochester and all the cities on tba Lakes. Also a road leading directly to N. York, ono directly from this property to Philadelphia and Intermediate places, one directly from this property to Pittsburg, and one directly from this property connecting with the Western roads, forming the grandest concentration of railroads upon any one spot In Pennsylvania, tending at once to develop its Immense agricultural and coal resources. The soil fs not surpassed in richness by any In the State. 1 t is divi ded— I.—lnto farms or shares of twenty-live Acre, at the price of two-hundred dollars, which is payable lu instal ments of one dollar per week. IL—lnto farms or half shares of twelve and a half acres, at the price of $lOO payable, in instalments of two dollars a month or by the week. Besides this, there is a valuable saw mill upon the prop erty, and one hundred and fifty lots in the thriving town of St. Mary's, which the subscribers get. This originally formed part of a large tract, a great por tion of which was settled by industrious and educated Germans, numbering some twenty-five hundred. They se lected the land on account of its agricultural and mineral wealth, which alone is an indisputable evidence of the facts, as they are well known to be superior judges upon these subjects. .They went there some twelve years ago, and they now have a thriving and beautitul settlement, which is laid off in regular rotations of fine farms. St. Mary's is the town of the settlement, and is rapidly in creasing in population. It has hotels as good as any in the state—fine stores—a college, where the highest branch es of education are taught, both literary and musical—saw mills, grist mills, coach manufactories, and every thing conceivable to add wealth and prosperity to the place.— The land of the company surrounds this town, and all the improvements, thereb ' reaping the benefits, and present ing a splendid oppcs•tutlty for settlement. Limestone abounds. This is both al evidence of the quality of the soil and a great fertiliser. At St. Mary's it sells at from ten to twelve cents a bushel, burnt. The timber (sof great value, and consists of Cherry, Ash, Chesnut, Pine, Oak and Hemlock, all of primeval growth, of groat size, and towering from eighty to a hundred and twenty feet high. That which the stockholders do not want will he sold to the timber merchants, with conditions to cut It in a certain time. This will clear the land, and bring a large revenue into the treasury, which will go to the reduction of the price of the farms. This explains its agricultimal resources. Ent there Is another consideration of equal, if not greater, importance. The land is one great bed of coal. Upon this property it is literally inexhaustible. By taking a glance at the latest map, first at this locality, and then over the State, it will be found to possess the grandest feature of prosperity, Mt .provement, and almost immediate development. It is su perior to any other. It is the only place having the great concentration of railroads, by which New York, the Lakes, Philadelphia and Pittsburg are at its doors. There is no coal in New York, and on acconneof its nortbernly situa tion, it possesses the advantages of nearness. This is des tined to become the Pottsville of that portion of the State. The prospect in the future for this place exceeds any that • l'ottsville ever had; and there, land which a few years ago was selling at live and ten dollars an acre, when the rail-. road opened its mines sold for from two to live hundred dollars an acre. These are farts. VlZse who are Ignorant, let them make inquiry. Improvement is still progressing. Se arrive at the truth. J edge the future by the past, and thee what will this land be? It is preper that reason sin odd give the answer. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad. of which this. Bigler is President, and which connects this laud with the Lakes and Philadelphia, and the Allegheny Valley Railroad, of which tiov. Johnson is President, connecting this laud with Pittsburg, ore In rapid course of completion. and up on a great extent the locomotives are running. The retie., lions which suggest themselves upon this subject are I hose—it takes two hundred weeks to pay for the farms. They will bu distributed when they are half paid for. By that time the railroads trill be finished. That will be early enough for all practical purposes. The advantago• of buying it before their completion is evident. When that is done property will go up one hundred per cent.-- Speculation lu coal would at once run it tip to such a price as would make it impossible to obtain for agricultur al purposes. We now get it without paying the then int proved price, and the stockholders will enjoy the rise. A tract of about two thousand acres will be laid off at once, and ready by next Spring, in order that persons who wish to farm immediately ran do so. Friends and rtlat Ives, as well as those having more than one share can have their farms together. An linprovemest department will also be connected with the company. By this means, in order to accommo date those who are usable to give their personal attention io fencing or preparation, or desire to rent their properties out instead of residing there, arrangements can lei made to place each farm in complete order, so as to be ready fur cultivation. After the farina have been all sold, stock holders can have manure furnished, houses built and other work dune upon credit, they securing the payment to the company within a reasenahle time, so that a man in the first place receives a farm at the lowest possible price, and then is etiolated every assistance in placing it under crops. lIEN RY hl, PRICE, These embrace the principal features, and an excellent opportunity is now offeren fora man to obtain a home for himself; his wife and children, either at the present or time to come. Many business men, Mechanics, and work ingmen upon farms, who save several dollars a month, ran, by thus uniting together, become freeholders, whilst they scarcely miss the outlay, and at less expense than the annual cost of tobacco or the most trifling luxuries. A saving and purchase of this kind eat nothing, and con stantly increase in value. In case of nickneeo or misfor tune by which he is thrown not of employment, he has a home to go to, where he can always make a good living.— The title is unexceptionably good--one of Atte oldest in the Slate, toeing the Holland Title.
