FOR HALF,. 



ONE of the most valuable tobacco plantations in 

 the County of Powhatan. 

 Adjoining the village of Scottsville, in Powhatan, 

 a handsome brick dwelling containing nine rooms, 

 with 175 acres of land (nearly one-third in wood) at- 

 tached, can be bought for $3000, payable one-third 

 cash, balance in one and two years. This property is 

 described as forming a very beautiful and eligible situ- 

 ation for a Lawyer or Doctor, and as being admirably 

 adapted to the purposes of an academy. The buildings 

 cost more than is demanded for the whole property. 



The plantation of Mr. Robert K. Pemberton, in 

 the county of Powhatan. This is just such a piece 

 of property as is seldom in market. It is situated on 

 James River, above Maiden's Adventure Dam, be- 

 ing the upper part of the well known and valuable 

 Maiden's Adventure estate. It contains 750 acres ; 

 144 of James River low grounds of the very best 

 quality. The highland is very similar to the cele- 

 brated Beaverdam lands. The situation is pictu- 

 resque and beautiful in the extreme; the dwelling 

 commodious, and the barns, stables, out-buildings 

 and fences in complete order. The property can be 

 bought for about 822,000; one-third cash, balance 

 in one and two years. 



A splendid mansion with 20 acres of highly im- 

 proved grounds, adjoining the delightful village of 

 Fredericksburg. To a wealthy gentleman seeking a 

 retreat in the neighborhood of the most polished so- 

 ciety in Virgina, this property, which can be bought 

 very low, offers great attractions. 



Eleven hundred acres of land on the Appomattox, 

 18 miles above Petersburg ; 500 acres in wood of vir- 

 gin growth, 300 low grounds, principally a stiff red 

 soil, admirably adapted to wheat, clover and tobacco. 

 Buildings consist of two dwelling houses, barns, sta- 

 bles, quarters, &c; eight never-failing springs, afford- 

 ing a good site for a mill, with 16 feet fall— fencing- 

 excellent. 



This tract is the property of Mr. S. W. Cousins, 

 and can be purchased at any time shortly for $3500, 

 a great bargain. 



One thousand acres of land on James River, about 

 6 miles from Williamsburg — 360 acres are cleared 

 and marled — the balance is in wood, and very conve- 

 nient to the river. The buildings are chiefly new 

 and commodious. 



To a gentleman wishing to purchase a small farm, 

 with every facility of improvement, an opportunity 

 is now offered in a tract of 500 acres adjoining the 

 southern corporation line of the spirited and flourish- 

 ing town of Petersburg. From 6 to 8 loads of ma- 

 nure may be hauled from town per day, but the tract 

 abounds in beds of marl of the very finest quality, 

 two hundred acres have already been highly im- 

 proved by these means. The buildings are in com- 

 plete order, and are sufficient for the accommodation 

 of a large family. The water is abundant, convenient 

 and excellent — the health of the place is proverbial. 

 Upon the premises is situated an old mill site, which 

 might be turned to great account. Price $7500, r 250 

 acres, including all the buildings, all the improved 

 land, and nearly all the marl, can be had for $5000. 



• Besides these, the subscriber is authorized to sell a 

 variety of farms of almost every description, making

FARM FOR SALE. 



EXPECTING to remove to Richmond, I will offer 

 for sale, on the 3lst of October, 1844, the farm 

 on which I now reside, (Locust Grove,) lying one 

 mile from James River, and 10 miles from Richmond. 

 This tract contains 1G0 acres of excellent land, with 

 a clay foundation, and a marl bank near at hand. It 

 has on it a very excellent dwelling house, nearly new, 

 with all the necessary out houses, an excellent or- 

 chard, and a good well of water. It will be sold 

 without reserve, on liberal terms, say six and twelve 

 months ; it would form a most capital location for a 

 physician. 



I will offer for sale also on the same day, all of my 

 household and kitchen furniture; it is nearly new 

 and some of the best quality. I will sell also my 

 crop of corn, fodder and oats"; my horses and mules, 

 cows, hogs and farming utensils.

FARM FOR SALE. " 



CAWSON'S, one mile from City Point, on James 

 River, in the comity of Prince George, will be 

 offered at public sale, on the premises, on Thursday, 

 the 5th day of September next, and will be sold with- 

 out reserve, on liberal terms, if there is respectable 

 competition for the purchase. It contains five hun- 

 dred acres; one hundred in cultivation, and the 

 balance heavily timbered — besides a large quantity 

 of building, ship and stave timber. It will average 

 fifty cords wood to the acre, which can be sold on the 

 wharf, at City Point, for one dollar and seventy-five 

 cents, and can be cut and transported there, by con- 

 tract, for seventy-five cents the cord. The land lies 

 level, and no lime or marl has yet been applied, but 

 it has for the last three years produced forty bushels 

 corn to the acre; and the present year, which is the 

 first time it has ever been in wheat, and under many 

 disadvantages and losses, it has produced more than 

 twenty-two bushels to the acre, and more than six- 

 teen bushels to one of seed. For these facts I refer 

 to Messrs Pannil & Lea, and John M. Stockdell, of 

 Petersburg, and to Alexander Hobbs, who lives on 

 on the place.
