tend .o them the most fatherly pre.%. tion. They waited on General Jack. son, previous to his departure from Franklin, and expressed to hhn the;. perfect confidence in his patanal at ttaleiElillefnt tsleilillefnt, and their os tina, they should never meet him again q, :. tliis side Of the grave.
 Should this treaty be ratified by botb the contracting parties, ofwhich ther' appears but little doubt, the Ine;;,us will ere long take their departure Gs,s their new home where its evident thev can be more comfortable and more han by than where they now are; and t win Eot be long before their place is occn pied by an industrious and cnterprisjn, white population.
 Commissioners on the part of the Gov. ernment will meet the Choctaws. +, their nation, on the 18th inst. when. < is believed, that treaty, similar to that entered into with the Gttici1asaws. will be concluded with them.

 General La Fayette's farm yard js thus described in letter froman Amer. ican lady to her husband, published in the Baltimore American | Farmer:-..Iie has here flock of 1900 of the finest Merino sheep, all of which saw turn ed out, attended by two shepherds and four dogs. The cows are much larger than. ours generally, and are treated more like human beings than brutes.- They are turned putin the morning and brought in in the heat of the day, fed. suffered to rest a certain time, and again turned eutuntil sunset, when they are put up for the night. In one of the stables there are twenty-two cows and two bulls. The veal they have here is the whitest, fattest, and incest ] ever saw. The calves are attended by tvs Wonfep, and fattened by peculiar pro cess: they give them eggs, four q day to each calf, which are put down thei. threats whole. This, with their alllewz. ance of milk, lana told, fattens themina very short time. Each COW is confined with a llaltar of sufficient length to let them lie attheir ease; their hides arc nicer and cleaner than many of ous gentlemen's carriage horses. In anotit. CT stable were thirteen COWS. aalongss which were tbose of the Devon breed given him by Mr. Patterson, of Baltt inore also nine half :s grown calves, al, as he told me, were of the same stock. The horses in the Generals stables are attended to with equal care. There were in the stables fifteen horses, be- sides his carriage horses and three don. kies--one large one for farm use, the other two for the young ladies and chil- dren to ride: I 1assure you they go quite pleasantly, as yesterday ] rode one at round the park, and to the lake. The pisgery is the most complete you ean imagine, containing q great number oF hogs of all sizes, as and breeds, but the one gave to the General, is the largest l have ever seen, and is much more esteemed than any of the others The General relates with much appa. rent pleasure, that an English iarmef of great wealth and knowledge, on see. ing this hog, said-Well, sir, you mas
 boast of having the finest boar that ever was sent from England-and would scarcely beliye him when, with pride, he told him it came from the United States, and not from England. The farm yard is avery large square, with buildings extending quite around i. fThe house for the sheep occupies an entire side of the square; the buildings are ali of stone, aisi built as if to CT dure forever.-Thc General has great variety of birds, poultry and American deer, all provided with the incest possi-
 ble accommodations. Were you here,
 l am sure you might designate many
 things that would be valuable for our
 farmers to know. They make cheese
