country command more distinguished admis-
ton. Although white manual labor is Eardly
known in the county of Jefferson, yst the yisilant
supervision of its farmers and planters has produced
the highest state of cultivation. The fields every
where appear to have been TILED with the utmost
care and experience, and believe the crops
throughout the couaiy may well compare with the
golden harvest of Western Newly ork. The aver
age product of Wheat il is believed will approach
twenty Lushel, to the acre; and two aud a half
tons of grass on the best meadow land !. hot an
uncommon Weld. The cattle and horses are very
superior to those Of the lower country. and in fact,
there is more universal thrift and contenimsnt IN
the beautiful valley of the Shenandoah than Is

State Moreover the people in Jefferson are riskt
and steady in politics, and IN Al will cast vote
for HENRY CLAY, much larger, than it gave
