WILL BE PUBLISHED
IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME, AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES: Pending to shew that by a due encouragement of these essential interests, the nation will be rendered more respectable abroad and more prosperous at home. TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
AT a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expences of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.

MORE EVIDENCE AGAINST GENERAL WILKINSON.
BY the attention of a gentleman in Philadelphia, we are furnished with the following important deposition, which we hasten to lay before our readers—We make no observation on its contents—they need none. But it may not be improper to state the reasons which justify and require the publication.
It has been said and published as their opinion by the court, to be an universal and first rule of military courts, especially courts of inquiry, whose proceedings are merely preparatory, to prevent all publication of those proceedings, and of the testimony taken in the course of them. In open and direct violation of this rule, expressly laid down by themselves, General Wilkinson has been permitted not only to publish that part of the proceedings in this case, (and a large part it was) which consisted of his own scurrilous and slanderous attacks on the witnesses against him, made in the shape of addresses to the court; but also for the purpose of traducing those witnesses, to garble the testimony, and publish such part as he pleased, with all such misrepresentations as he thought would conduce to his object. This proceeding, if not directly sanctioned by the court, has been winked at and acquiesced in; and copies of such depositions, as he chose to ask for, have been given to him, if not for this avowed purpose, yet certainly with a perfect conviction that they would be so used. This was the case particularly with Mr. HARPER's deposition; a copy of which was given to General Wilkinson, and by him published in the Aurora, for the express purpose of furnishing an opportunity of slandering the witness; while a repeated application of that witness himself for a copy, for his own use and protection, was, we are correctly informed, treated with silent neglect.
Although every witness who has deposed against Gen. Wilkinson, as far as we know, or have heard, has come in for his share of abuse, yet the most malignant and persevering attacks have been reserved for Mr. Clark; because his testimony was the most important, the most direct, and the most comprehensive; and because, supported by the original documents which he adduced, it produced an universal conviction of Gen. Wilkinson's guilt; a conviction, which completely possessed the minds of the members composing this court; although they did not consider the testimony as strictly legal, and therefore pronounced a sentence of acquittal.
This is not indeed expressly declared by the court, as it was by the jury who acquitted Col. Burr, on similar grounds. But it is evidently to be inferred from the words of the sentence, from the irresistible force of the testimony, and from the known circumstances of the case; as will, we understand, at a proper and no distant time, be most clearly shown.
Under these circumstances, we have deemed it our duty, as friends of truth and justice, to dispense, as we formerly intimated, with the observance of a rule, which has been violated on the other side, in favor of guilt and defamation. These are our reasons for publishing the subjoined deposition, which opens scenes that must fill with horror and disgust every virtuous mind.
Let it be recollected, that this deposition was taken on the part of General Wilkinson, and not of Mr. CLARK, or with his knowledge. Let it also be remembered that the witness, Mr. DANIEL W. COXE, of Philadelphia, is not a Federalist, but a zealous and uniform supporter of Mr. Jefferson. In this part of the continent, it is unnecessary to say that he is a man of high and unimpeached character, and of most respectable deportment.
I agree that the deposition of Daniel William Coxe, esq. shall be taken and read as evidence, on behalf of general Wilkinson, before the court of enquiry, whereof colonel Burbeck is president.

INTERROGATORIES.
To be exhibited to D. W. Coxe, esq. on the part of brigadier gen. Wilkinson.
Interrogatory 1. Have you ever held conversations with Daniel Clark, esq. respecting the political situation of the territory of Orleans, and the sentiment of its inhabitants towards the U. States? If so, relate the tenor of his conversations, particularly at the period while colonel Burr was engaged in the prosecution of his plans.
Answer 1. I have frequently conversed with Mr. Daniel Clark, on the political situation of Louisiana, and well recollect, that he considered the inhabitants as attached to the U. States at the period of the cession, and that it depended entirely on the general government, to cement the bonds of union, by pursuing a sound and judicious policy. Mr. Clark himself a strong Ame-
rican in principle (even prior to the cession of that province) and having, on various occasions, exerted his influence in favor of this country, at the hazard of his liberty and fortune (as is well known to the present and former administrations) it consequently follows, that the people of Louisiana, who derived their opinions principally from him, passed under the American government, with the strongest impressions in favor of its wisdom and justice. Mr. Clark, however, considered the policy adopted by the administration (after taking possession of Orleans) as neither wise nor conciliatory, and but ill calculated to inspire the inhabitants of that country with confidence in the liberality of its views and disposition towards them. At the period of Burr's conspiracy and since, Mr. Clark believed the creole inhabitants loyal, disinclined to revolution, and averse from turbulence and those political schisms, which appeared to disturb the new-comers among them.
Q. 2. Do you remember any conversation respecting a plan of separation of that territory from the U. S. the manner of its accomplishment, the period when it would take place, or the character of and the individuals concerned in the same.
A. 2. I remember no mention by Mr. Clarke, of any plan for the separation of Louisiana from the U. States, except the old Western Conspiracy for dismembering the union, and general Wilkinson's agency in that affair, which, after the development of Burr's plot, I know he believed to be the source of those enterprizes in which he considered Burr and Wilkinson as united.
Q. 3. Have you ever heard Daniel Clark, esq. mention that col. Burr was to be at the head of such a combination, and that he was to be president, with a salary of 50,000 dollars per ann.
A. 3. After the explosion of Burr's conspiracy, I have heard Mr. Clark express his opinion, that Wilkinson and Burr had been acting in concert, but I have no recollection that he ever mentioned to me that Burr was to be president, with a salary of 50,000 dollars per ann.
Q. 4. Do you know, or have you any reason to believe, any correspondence took place between Daniel Clark, esq. and Aaron Burr, during the years 1805 and 1807. If so, relate your knowledge of the same, and how obtained.
A. 4. I know of no correspondence between Burr and Daniel Clark, except a letter that Mr. Charles Biddle informed me Burr had left with him to be delivered to Mr. Clark on his arrival from New Orleans, and which I supposed to relate to Burr's baggage, part of which he told me was left in New Orleans, and called with Mr. C. Biddle, at my counting-house to inquire if I had received it by any of my vessels. I accompanied Mr. Clark, after his arrival, to Mr. C. Biddle's, to receive the above-mentioned letter; and perfectly recollect his saying, rather peevishly, that Burr and Wilkinson made him of much importance, and would pester him with letters, but that he had declined corresponding with Burr. No baggage or letters were, however, received by me, from colonel Burr, from Mr. Clark, or any other person. In further answer to this query, which appears to insinuate a connexion between Mr. Clark and colonel Burr, I beg leave to state, that having myself been always strongly impressed with a belief, that Burr was a dangerous and unprincipled man, and the marquis de Casa Yrujo, having one day jestingly observed to me, that he understood Mr. Clark was going to Vera Cruz, and was intimate with Burr when at New Orleans, I immediately wrote Mr. Clark (which was about the end of the year 1805) respecting the Marquis's observations, and advised him to have nothing to say to Burr in any way. The following is an extract from Mr. Clark's answer to me, on the subject, the entire original of which is annexed hereto, with the post-mark thereon.
"New-Orleans, 6th Feb. 1806.
"MY DEAR FRIEND,
"I received this day your favor of 20th December, by post, and thank you for the information contained in the private enclosure. Be pleased to assure the respectable person who informed you I was closely connected with col. Burr, that he has been much imposed on in this particular, that I never was acquainted with him until he came last summer to New Orleans, and that I neither was, nor could be mad enough to attach myself to a man of desperate fortunes, whose stay among us did not exceed a fortnight. If he or any of his friends have said any thing that could induce people to believe I had any connexion whatever with him, I disclaim it, and time will prove the truth of mine or their assertions, and I shall be glad to learn that an eye were kept to my proceedings. What in God's name have I to expect or could I hope from col.
Burr? And is it probable I should commit my fortune and perhaps reputation at my period of life, to commit follies for him? No, the thing is too improbable to think seriously of, and I solemnly assure you there never has nor ever shall be any connexion between him and me. I lent him when on the point of departure, a pair of horses to take him to Natchez, with a servant to bring them back, and bought his bill for $300 on Philadelphia, which I remitted to you, and this is all the politeness or intercourse I had with him, except once inviting him with a party to dinner, and less I could not do, in consequence of the letters of which he was the bearer to me; * I have entered into this long explanation to set you at rest on this subject, and I beg you will return many thanks to the person from whom you received your information, for giving me an opportunity of being on my guard, against the attempts that might be made to entrap me into any thing, which could appear like a connexion or intimacy with Mr. B. should he ever return to this quarter.
"Benjamin Morgan has a vessel called the Patty, belonging to John Craig of Philadelphia, consigned to him, and this vessel has one of the permissions mentioned in a former letter. Morgan has agreed with the captain, that he and I shall avail ourselves of this permission, and shall ship a cargo in the vessel, and the marquis de Casa Calvo will give us the necessary certificates. We propose that the cargo shall amount to $40,000, to be consigned to me, and a friend whom I shall name another time shall have 1-3 interest. We pay for vessel and permission at the rate of 2 dollars per barrel freight, for the quantity we ship, and I count on our gaining one cent per cent. on the amount of the adventure. We shall have $15,000 insured here, and Price and you, when you hear further from Morgan and Chew and Relf, can have the rest covered at home for the voyage out. As for the returns back, I must trust to circumstances to be able to advise you. We have on hand almost all the goods we shall ship, and shall consequently have little or no advances to make, which could interfere with any advances intended for you, and even in the event of a capture the amount insured will be a remittance to you; this is but a hint to you for the present, to-morrow when things are more matured I shall write to you.
"I expect to sail on the 9th, in the William Wright, as advised some time since. The Caroline dropt down the river a day or two ago.
"Your's, affectionately,
(Signed)
"DANIEL CLARK."
Q. 5. Have you considered gen. Wilkinson and Daniel Clark, Esq. at any time on a friendly footing? Do you know whether any change took place in Daniel Clark's opinions, and when, of general Wilkinson?
A. 5. I never considered Mr. Daniel Clark and general James Wilkinson as being friends beyond mere appearances. Mr. Clark always thought ill of the general on account of his Spanish connexions, and never to me (even in confidence) uttered an opinion in his favor. I know that he was impressed for a long while with the idea that Wilkinson had relinquished his pension from Spain, and finding him still patronised by the administration (though it was acquainted with his former agency in the old western conspiracy) he continued to maintain an intercourse with him, which both his own public situation as consul for the United States at New-Orleans, and Wilkinson's, as military commander in the south-western country, rendered necessary. A great change to the general's further disadvantage, however, took place in Mr. Clark's opinion, from a variety of circumstances, among which may be noticed the following: 1st. The period and manner of Wilkinson's first communication to the president, accompanying his deposition of the contents of Burr's cyphered letter to him. 2d. His proceedings, denunciations and arrests in New Orleans, which Mr. C. conceived to be outrageous and improper. 3d. His affidavit before the grand jury at Richmond, who on the simple facts before them at the time, had nearly found a bill for treason or misprision of treason, against Wilkinson, as a coadjutor of Burr, and Mr. C. declared to me on his arrival in this city, last October, that he considered the perjury of Wilkinson, in his capacity of commander of the American army, as without a parallel, and was fully convinced of his being the author of the conspiracy, which he claimed the merit of frustrating. I am thus particular, as I have been so pointedly interrogated as to the causes of Mr. Clark's alienation
from the General, after an intimacy of many years, and I deeply regret the necessity of using terms and epithets, which alone are adequate to convey my knowledge of Mr. Clark's opinion of general Wilkinson. I will further state, that though Mr. Clark was convinced at one time, that the General did not receive in 1804, the 10,000 dollars from the Spanish government, of which so much mention has been made; he, however, changed his opinion on the subsequent information, and was convinced that Wilkinson did receive the money, in violation of his promise to him to drop his Spanish connexions, though it did not appear charged on the Spanish treasury books, on account of its being part of a larger sum of secret service money, placed at the disposal of the military governor of Louisiana, and not of the fiscal and accounting officer. Mr. Clark also believed, that the General, by way of screening himself from the suspicion of being connected with Burr, and of increasing executive confidence in his fidelity, had denounced many innocent persons (and his name among them) in a letter to the President, which has never been published. The foregoing circumstances furnished additional reasons for the ultimate and entire estrangement of Mr. Clark from general Wilkinson, and completed his disgust at and abhorrence of his conduct.
Q. 6. Do you recollect D. Clark's opinions, and when, of Gen. Wilkinson's conduct at N. Orleans in 1805 and 1807, whether he confided in his loyalty to the United States, or suspected him? relate any knowledge you may have, and whether from Daniel Clark's opinion of the General, or your own knowledge, you have ever proffered your assistance, mercantily or otherwise, in advancing his interests?
A. 6. The first part having been already answered, I will merely add, that I am unacquainted with any offer of mercantile or other aid, having been made by Mr. Clark or myself, to advance Gen. Wilkinson's interest, tho' as to what Mr. C. may have done, I cannot speak with certainty beyond my own knowledge.
Q. 7. Have you, since the charges exhibited in the House of Representatives of the U. States, in Congress, by John Randolph and Daniel Clark, Esquires, gone to Lancaster? Was the motive of the visit to see or communicate with Andrew Ellicott? Did you see or communicate with Andrew Ellicott; and what respecting? Were you induced by the desire of any other person to take this visit?
A. 7. I did visit Lancaster last January, and for the express purpose of seeing Mr. A. Ellicott and inducing him to attend the court of enquiry as an evidence, which however he declined doing unless the bill giving courts martial power to coerce the attendance of witnesses, in which case he said he should go to Washington although he considered the court of enquiry as incompetent to the proper investigation of general Wilkinson's conduct. My journey to Lancaster was my own free act and without the knowledge or instigation of any person. It arose from a conversation I had a few days previous with captain John Dunlap in this city who informed me that he had conversed with Mr. Ellicott on his return through Lancaster, who corroborated Mr. Clark's statement as laid before the house of representatives, and declared Wilkinson to be a pensioner of Spain. On entering Mr. Ellicott's house, the evening after my arrival at Lancaster, I found him engaged in explaining to a number of gentlemen of the legislature the affair of the old western conspiracy, and Wilkinson's participation therein, which Mr. P. was elucidating by references to his printed journal when commissioner on the part of the United States for running the southern boundary. He confirmed the correctness of Mr. Clark's statement and mentioned his own agency in detecting Wilkinson's connexion with the Spaniards, by means of intercepted letters, &c. the circumstances of which he said he had communicated in cypher to our government at the time, and the following is a memorandum I made on returning to my lodgings of some other important circumstances mentioned to me by Mr. Ellicott. "January 30th, Andrew Ellicott informed me this evening that in the month of June 1801, (as well as I recollect) he communicated personally to Mr. Jefferson, the exact sum of money that had been sent by don Thomas Portel to gen. W. that this money was not on account of any mercantile transactions but of the pension allowed the general by the Spanish government, [see note B.] that Wilkinson was not a man to be trusted, and if continued in employ, would one day or other disgrace and involve the government in his schemes."
Q. 8. Do you know any other matter of thing that may be of use in the enquiry, respecting the conduct of brigadier general Wilkinson, which the military court of enquiry is now prosecuting at Washington?
* These letters were from gen. Wilkinson himself.

I declare that, under the authority of Mr. Clark to receive and open in his absence all letters addressed to him, I have received per mail the one hereunto annexed addressed to him by Mr. Thos. Gemmill and dated Pinkneyville, 22d March, 1808, and which I conceive it my duty to lay before the court of enquiry.
Pinkneyville, 22d March, 1808.
DEAR SIR, From a short and imperfect acquaintance, I have taken the liberty of writing to you. I have been informed by a gentleman of undoubted veracity attached to the U. States army, now stationed at the camp near this place, that general Wilkinson has written to two officers of the army, to wit, col. Kingsbury and capt. Beyer, both stationed at said camp, requesting each of them to give testimony relative to the interview you had with general Wilkinson at Fort Adams, at the time mentioned in your communication to congress. You may perhaps have heard, and know better the relative situation and standing of those deponents with the General than I, and what influence he may have with them. The first I am credibly informed has been promised a furlough, the second flattered with a prospect of promotion to a majority; each of them have received a letter from the General, holding forth fair promises at the commencement, and concluding with an earnest request that they be punctual in sending on their depositions, the purport of which is intended to invalidate that part of your testimony, which relates to your interview with the General at Fort Adams, and each of those gentlemen have been heard to say, that you were with the General but a few hours at that time.
The General has also requested, that those depositions be written by major Stoddard, who was immediately sent for on the upper country of this territory for that purpose. He has arrived, and they are now at work.
Having heard captain Sterret of New Orleans, speak of your visit to the General; and knowing that his statement will correspond with yours, as to time and duration of stay, I have written to him requesting that his deposition might be taken in legal form, and forwarded to you as soon as possible. Mr. Evans, of Fort Adams, I think, can testify the same. There are several gentlemen in this neighborhood, whose testimony would go in corroboration, who will not come forward voluntarily. Mr. Evans, I presume, will; if so, I will have his deposition taken, and inclose it to you. The unusual anxiety and interest the friends of gen. W. express on this occasion, although they endeavor to conduct the business as secretly as possible, have induced me to take the part I have; conscious that it can do you no injury, I shall feel happy if I have had it in my power to render you a service.
Your friend and ob't. serv't, (Signed) "THOS. GEMMIL." Daniel Clark, esq." Post-marks outside as follows: "Pinkneyville, M. T. Ma. 24th." "Washington, May 18."
Having a personal acquaintance with the Baron de Carondelet, Thomas Power, and the late Governor Gayoso, and Philip Nolan, and previously seen the documents laid by Messrs Randolph and Clark on the table of the House of Representatives, I do aver and declare, from my own knowledge of the hand writing or signature of them, is true and correct; I have examined them with a view of proving the same, if ever called upon for that purpose. [See note C.]
I also declare, that I have lately perused the official copy of a public dispatch in the Spanish language, from the marquis Casa Yrujo, to don Pedro Cevallos, secretary for foreign affairs in Spain, dated Philadelphia, December 18th, 1806, which communicates the entire conviction of the marquis that general Wilkinson (well known and designated in correspondence of state under the name or appellation of No. 13) was united with Burr in a plan to sever the western country from the union, and that there was nothing to fear from their views which was not directed against the Spanish possessions, but against their own country.
I further declare, that on the arrival of Mr. Thomas Power in this city from Richmond, last October, I had many conversations with him, and he appeared much incensed against general Wilkinson, for having (as he said) faithlessly published a certificate, which he had given him the preceding spring at New Orleans, at his particular request, under a solemn promise, that it was intended merely for Mr. Jefferson's private inspection, to quiet his suspicions, and should never be made public. Mr. Power likewise related to me an interview he had with general Wil-
kinson on arriving at Richmond from New Orleans, as follows: After being conducted (I think by night) to the general's chamber, or the general to his, Wilkinson locked the door, and with emotions of agony and despair, raising his head and hands towards Heaven, exclaimed—"What, Power, are you come here to do? and what evidence do you intend giving before the court? Can't you go out of the way?" To which Power replied—"I shall answer nothing which can implicate my own government." "If so (said the general) I am safe—give me your hand; and do you promise this?" Power answered, that was his intention.
I further declare, that I have obtained information which I believe may be fully relied on, that William Lewis, Esq. of this city, counsel for col. Burr, possesses facts, statements, and documents, which will prove, that there existed between Burr and Wilkinson, an agreement and mutual understanding in relation to the conquests which they projected making in the west, and that they were to co-operate in the accomplishment of that object.
Philadelphia, 13th June, 1808. PENNsylvania, ss. Before me, Thomas Smith, esquire, one of the judges of the supreme court, personally came D. W. Coxe, of the city of Philadelphia, merchant, and being duly sworn, declareth and saith, that the foregoing answers to the foregoing interrogatories contain the truth, the whole truth, in the subject matter according to the manner therein stated. (Signed) D. W. COXE. Sworn and duly subscribed before me this 13th of June, 1808. (Signed) THOMAS SMITH.
NOTE B. Here is a fresh and most mortifying instance of that odious and despicable vice, of which the present chief magistrate of this country has several times lately been convicted. In the message of the President to the house of representatives, dated January 20th, 1808, after enumerating in compliance with a request of the house, the various pieces of information which he had received after he came into office, relative to General Wilkinson's connections with the Spaniards, and of which this from Mr. Ellicott is not one, he goes on thus: "No other information within the per-view of the request of the house, is known to have been received by any department of the government, from the establishment of the present federal government. That which has been recently committed to the house of representatives (meaning that by Mr. Clark) is the first direct testimony ever made known to me, charging General Wilkinson with the corrupt receipt of money."
And what then was the information, made known to him by Mr. Elliott, one of his friends and supporters, in 1801? Does not the cheek of every honest man in the nation burn with shame at this new detection? Tho' this instance unfortunately does not stand alone, it is far more flagitious and alarming than the others. They, as in the cases of Bollman, and John Smith of Ohio, were falsehoods, deliberate indeed, but told by Thomas Jefferson, in his individual character, to other individuals.—But here we find the President, in his official character, and in an official message to another branch of the government, on a very important public concern, stain—liberate and willful falsehood, for the purpose of screening a guilty tool and favorite! Well might Fauchet exclaim to his government, in his famous interrupted dispatch No. 10, tho' speaking of a different person, "What will the old age of this republic be, when its youth exhibits such scenes of depravity and corruption?"
It may be proper to add, that Mr. Ellicott's deposition, it is believed, has been taken.—If he has not confirmed this statement of Mr. Coxe, let it be shown by the production of the deposition, which no doubt is in the power of General Wilkinson. If the deposition was not taken, why was it not?
Mr. Ellicott's letter to General Wilkinson himself, long since received and published, states the fact, though not its communication, to the President.—Editor North American. NOTE C.
Thus it seems that the authenticity of these most convincing and unanswerable documents was proved in the most legal and technical form, by a most respectable witness. The instructions to Power being thus proved to be in the hand-writing of Nolan, and it having been admitted by general Wilkinson, as appears from the sentence of the court, that Nolan was his agent, the writing of these instructions is brought home, in the most strict and legal form to general Wilkinson. Now turn to the instructions themselves, and they will be found to clear up every possible doubt, of the receipt of money from the Spaniards, by general Wilkinson, of the clandestine and corrupt nature of that receipt, and of general Wilkinson's traitorous connections with that government. See also Power's let-
ter to Portell, proved by Mr. Coxe, to be authentic, and Portell's answer; also Derbigny's deposition, relative to concealing the money in sugar barrels, and the letter of Gayoso also proved by Mr. Coxe. These papers are all published in this Gazette, of 16th Jan. and 4th May. But we are too far anticipating a subject which demands and will soon receive, a far different discussion.—Editor North American.
Alexandria Daily Gazette. THURSDAY, JULY 21.
MR. SNOWDEN, BY THE COMPLETE FARMER, published in England, "by a society of gentlemen, members of the society for the encouragement of arts, manufactures, and commerce," it appears by a number of experiments made in Ireland, that Potatoes planted "over dung" produced about one fifth more than those planted under, and the preference given to seed "reasonably large."
"Mr. Marshall, amongst many other useful experiments, says, that having planted potatoes between cabbages, though at intervals of more than three feet under, the halm became so luxuriant that the cabbages did not thrive being in danger of being smothered; and regretting at the same time, that so much succulent herbage should be suffered to rot where it grew, broke off some of the stems and threw them before the cows. They eat them readily. This induced him to set some men to work with a sickle, to cut a patch of it, to try if the cows would eat it in any quantity; and likewise to try its effects on the roots. The first was soon devoured.—They eat as many as a man could wheel in a large wheel-barrow presently, leaving only the woody part of the stem; and these were thrown to the hogs, who eat them greedily, or sucked them, so that the refuse might be contained in the crown of a hat. By the cows eating the halm and the roots, suffering no bad effects, what a saving there must be. For though the potatoes were planted wide, there was herbage equal to the mid-dling crop of tares; besides the surface being left open for the cabbage; which could be hoed and earthed up with the hand hoe as if no potatoes were there. It was his opinion that checking the rising sap may reflect it to the roots, and instead of an evil prove beneficial. The cows in consequence of their food yielded considerable increase of milk, and of a richer quality than before; the butter was perfectly and remarkably sweet; and the cows increased in their desire of the halm. By this process the whole receives the perfect fallow, for the intervals of the potatoes are tilled before the cabbages are planted; and the intervals of the cabbages after the potatoes are taken up.—The soil by this method gives four crops, viz. the halm, the potatoes, the cabbages, and the sprouts. Upon examination it appeared that the potatoes which had their halm cut were not so large as those that had their halm remain uncut; but does not the gain of the halm more than balance the loss in the roots? By some it is said that the potatoes have done growing when the halm begins to turn; therefore Mr. Marshall recommends the cutting the halm when the roots have grown large, and before the tops of the halm have lost their succulence—if possible soon enough for the halm and late enough for the potatoes."
In my next I shall communicate some observations of the celebrated Arthur Young, esq. on the advantage of feeding hogs with clover. Z.

FOR SALE, My SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Machodock creek, between four and five miles below King George court house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattox Bridge. The situation is healthy, affords fine water, embraces the great advantages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, navigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys respectable society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the benefit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improvements alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for building and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood, and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses. The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an overseer, and customary houses of other descriptions—to which are annexed a well laid productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed. Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved. In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Negroes my Plantation utensils, some Household and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. among the latter are a pair of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thoroughbred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foal-getter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my negroes, which I shall dispose of in my neighborhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be required in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the purchaser's own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable merchandise. The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CHAPIN, esq. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county. R. W. Ashton.
