TO NEW-YORK FARMERS AND EMIGRANTS. 
(YNE hundred and fifteen thousand acres Illinois Lands for sale, 
in tracts of 40, 80, 120, 160 acres, or more, to suit purchasers. 
The lands are all first rate, and among the very best in the state, 
and are situated in the counties most densely settled, viz., 
Morgan, Scott, Cass, Mason, Menard, Green, Sangamon, Logan, 
Christian, Mason, McLean, Woodford, and Macoupin. To actual 
settlers every reasonable indulgence will be given as to time of 
payment. The price from $3 to $5 per acre. 
A correspondent of one of the New-York papers, writes re¬ 
specting this section of Illinois as follows : 
“ Beardstoivn, Cass Co., III., Jan. 10, 1846. 
The Riches of the West.—Gothamites on the Wing. —It is 
now six weeks since I left the city of Gotham, during which time I 
have seen considerable"of this western country, and I must say the 
beautiful prairies of Illinois, far exceed what I had anticipated, 
and this country may truly be called the garden of the world. 
There is nothing to prevent farmers in this country from getting 
rich, as the land is the most fertile in the world, and it will pro¬ 
duce everything grown in the vegetable kingdom. 
“ A New England man would hardly believe me if I tell him 
that some farmers here produce ten thousand bushels of corn, and 
naif as many bushels of wheat in a year, to say nothing of cattl® 
and hogs, of which seme raise as many as five hundred head. Oinj 
farmer told me that he raised the last year 6000 bushels of corn, 
and it was all produced by the labor of two men only. 
“ Cattle and sheep feed upon the prairies all winter, as they are 
seldom covered with snow.” 
Most of the above lands may be cultivated 100 years or more 
without manuring, being of the richest alluvial soil. The titles are 
indisputable, and the lands will be sold at low prices and in quan¬ 
tities to suit purchasers. Letters (p^st paid) addressed to D. B. 
Ayers, Esq., of Jacksonville, Ill., or the subscriber, will receive 
prompt attention. As many persons out of the state have an i«l«a 
that the taxes are very burdensome in Illinois, we state that they 
range from $1.50 to $2.00 per annum, on 80 acres of land.
