WHESE lands were granted by the Govern ment, to aid in the construction of this Railroad. and include some of the richest and most fertile Prairies in the State, interspersed here and there with magnificent groves of oak and other• umber. The Road extends from Chicago, on the North-East, to Cairo •at the South, and from thence to Galena and Dutdeith, in the North-west extreme of the State, and as all the lands lie within fifteen wiles on each side of this Road, ready and cheap means are afforded by it for transporting the products of the lands to • any of these points and from thence to Eastern and Southern markets. Moreover, the rapid groWth of flourishing towns and vil lages.along the line, and the great increase in population by immigration, etc., afford., a sub stantial and growing hove-demand fur farm produce. • The soil is a dark; rich mould, from one to five feet in-depth, is gently robing and peculiar ly fitted for grazing cattle and 'sheep, or the cultivation of Wheat, Indian corn, etc. ' Economy in cultivating and great produc tiveiffSs are the well known characteristics of Illinois lands. Trees are not required to he cut down, stumps grubbed, or stone picked off*, as issenerally the case in cultivating new land in the older States. The first crop of Indian Corn, planted on-the newly broken sod, usually repays the cost of plowing and fencing. ‘Vileat sown on the newly-turned sod is sure to yield very LAitGi,.; PROFITS. A man with a plow and two yoke of oxen will break one and a half to two acres per day. Contiacts can be made for breaking; ready for corn or wheat, at from $.2 to 2,50 per am e. By judicious lua,n ri,vernent, the land may be plowed and fenced the first, and under a mud STATE OF CULUVA TION the second year. "Corn, grain, cattle, etc., will .he forwarded at reasonable rates - to Chicago, fbr the Eastern market, and to Cairo for the _Southern. The larger yield on - the cheap lands of Illinois o%er the high-priced lands in the Eastern and Mid dle States, is known to be much inure than Sufficient to pay the difference of transportation to the Eastern market. Bituminous coal is mined at several points along the Road, and is a cheap and desirable fud. It can . be delivered at several points along the - Road at $1,50 to $4,00 per ton ; Wocid can be had at the same rates per cold.. Those who think of settling in lowa or Min nesota, should bear ia wind, that lands there, of any value, along the water courses and for many miles inland. have been disposed of ; that for those located in the interior, there are no conveniences for transporting the produce to tuatket, Railroads not having been intro duced there. That to send the produce of these lands, one or two hundred miles by wagon to market, would cost much more than the ex pense of cultivating them.; and hence, Govern ment lands thus situated,' at $1,25 per acre, are not so good. investments as the land of this company at the prices fixed. 'Fhe - s - anie - remark - S. - Thad - goo3in relation to laud; in Kansas and Nebraska, for although -ant lands may be liamd nearer the water the distance to market is far greater, mired miles the produce of those' MED OEM -lands . are carried either in wagons, or inter rupted- water communications, increases the expenses of transportation, which twist be borne by. the settlers, in the reduced price of their products ; and to that extent precisely are the incomes from their farms, and of course on their investments, annually and every year reduced. The great fertility of the lands now offered for sale by this company, and their consequent vteld over those of the Eastern and Middle States, is much more than sufficient to pay the differetpie in the cost of transportation, e sp e cial.

As a security to the pet formance of the contract. the first two years' interest must be paid in advance, and it must be understood that at least one tenth of the land purchased shall -yearly be brought under cultivation. Twenty per cent. from the cr e dit price will be deducted for cash. The Com pany's construction bonds will be received as cash.

Special arrangements with dealers can be made to supply those purchasing the Company's lands with fencing materials, agricultural tools, and an out lit of provisions in any quantity, at the LOWEST WITOLESA.LE PRICES. It is believed that the price, long credit, and low rate of interest, charged for these lands, will enable a man with a few hundred dollars in - cash and ordinary im:ustry, to make himself independent before all the purchase money becomes due.

Th e soil is a rich limestone loam, and es pecially atin pted tb cultivation, asitls neither hilly nor stony. but gently rollinr , or fine table land. Around and through this property thereoare already some 20.000 acres under cul tivation, and its fertility has been established from the crops produced. Upon this subject it is easy to be fully satisfied. There is a ready cash market for produce which is much better than trade. It is the • • Cheapest, as land of a similar quality is selling at much higher prices adjoining, and especially such as contains coal. Cool.—This in particular is the Coal District, several veins underlaying the whole - property, and the, attention of miners, and those acquainted with coal lands, is specialty called to it. It has the advantage-of being the nee/res./ to the' great lake nrrketi----with which it will be connected by the Sunbury and Erie Railroad now under contract and in course of completion from Erie to Ridgeway,- - with de scending grade the whole way. The soil over bituminous coal is the best, for instance Eng land and other countries. The price per acre is trifling for the coal alone, as it will certain ly, in so favorable a locations within a short time pay -largely. This is important as an immense coal trade will soon open. Four coal , companies have 'already been started to work mines in the vicinity, and there are now fifteen openings around St. Mau's. The Timber, Stockholders also receive.—. There is no reservation whatever either of tim ber or coal. It is very valuable, and will pay for a great part of the land. On account of the excellence of streams, there are fine opportuni ties for mills. For Health, the location is much recommend ed by Physicians. The chills and fevers are unknown, also pulmonary complaints, being protected from the north east winds by the-Ar leghenies. The water is pure, and amongst the best, the land abounding in fine springs. Four Railroads will shortly be completed, connecting it by a direct communication with New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Erie, Buffalo, and all the cities on the Lakes. They are the Sunbury and Erie, the Allegheny Val ley, the Pittsburg and Buffalo, and the Venan go. Energetic exertions are also being made for the building of the Tyrone and Clearfield. which also passes through this property. The effect of this upon trade, and general develop ment, as well as the coal, may be imagined. The large and flourishirig town of St. Mary's is in the centre of the tract, numbering, near 3.000 inhabitants. It has Hotels, good iinhlie -schools, saw and grist, mills. stores, well stock ed and every thing desired. There are 235 half acre lots in the town of St., Mary's, which will be sold and the proceeds equally divided amongst those who buy farms. Ridgeway, the county seat, where an extensive -business is , done, adjoins the tract on the west. The whole district is intersected by good tuinpike, and other roads. This is a rare opportunity offered to these who wish to farm or have a good investment for the future. By making proper inquiries, and considering the advantages of good soil, an abundance of coal, healthfulness of climate. Railroad facilities, and its location, a correct judgment may be formed of its , present advan tages and ultimate increase.
