Ev ansville is situated on the northern bank of the Ohio river in the state of Indiana at the most northwardly bend of the Ohio river about 13 mnes above the Red Hanks, 28 from Princeton, 52 from Vincennes, and 30 from Harmony. This town is laid out on a liberal and convenient plan, with a handsome public square about 2 rods from the river, Watt r Strert, on the bank of the river is laid out IO0 feet wide. Main Cross street passing the public square is 76 feet wide, ail other streets are 60 feet wide throughout. With an alley of t feet through the centre of each square or block, and a. the rear ol each lot. The situation of this town is acknowledged by all travellers to ?je the most beautiful of any on the O do from Pittsburgh to the Mississippi; it certainly possesses more natural and local advantages tnan arc, other Qfi the northern bank ol the Oi.io The bank at this place, and for a considerable distance . bove and below tnc town is high, level, and dry and from 10 to 20 feet above high watermark, with a commanding beautiful view of the river for several miles each way ; it is tiie established and only onvenient Landing, and place of deposit for all manner ot Merchandize and Groceries imported to the western p rt of the state, so much so that merehai ts from Vincennes and other parts of too western pari of the state, lino it their advantage to land their merchandize at L is place, and transport them in waggons to the place of destination at almost all seasons of the year, in preference to the circuitous, difficult & sometimes impassable rout of the Wabash ; this place also is, and ever vvib be. the most suhable $c convenient place of deposit for the p . -duce of the greater pari ofWarrfok Gibson, and part of Posey counties ; it ts in fact, to the western part of the state of Indiana, what Limestone is to Kentuc ky the principal place of deposit It is situated immediately above the mouth of big Pigeon creek which affords one of the best harbors on the Omo river. On this stream there are several v duable mill seats in the vicinity oi Evansville, at one of which and within three miles of tiie town, there i.- an excellent gri.-t and ! iw mill, now in complete operation. The country back from tiie river, is generally high and dry of a good soil, well adapted to the culture of- Corn, Hkmp, Wheat and Tobacco, particularly the two latter With plenty of never failing springs of excellent water ; the country in the vicinity ol Evansville has a very healthy appearance, and ten years experience has pi oven it to be one of die most healthy neighborhoods on, or near the Ohm river, and inferior to none in point of health in the western parts of Kentucky or state of Indiana ; mere bants mechanics and men of enterprize and industry will do well to come and judge for themscA es.
