AGRlCULTtRAL SURVEY,

Mr.. Editor-lt has been stated in the
public prints, that the office of Agricultural
Surveyor Of The State has been offered to
MIR. NJ. Tuomey, of Petersburg Va, but
the announcement of his acceptance has
not met my eye. can say, however. tina,
he has accepted the honor conferred upon
him, and will be with US the first of March
at farthest, to enter Immediately upon his
duties, and ] hope his survey aud report
will be permitted 10 include the scientific
geology of Tue State as we'll as an exami-
nation in a purely agricultural point of
view.
MIR. Tuomey, with whom I am acquainted
personally as well as By correspondence,
is a gentleman, Intelligent and capable in
geologic examinations. He has thorough
Iy examined the geology of the vicinity OF
his place of residence, (whose geological
pnsition is similar to that of Hamburg,
Columbia and Camden iu our Stale,) and
il is hoped that au interesting monograph
will he put forth by him on the subject. |
do not desire to raise public estimation in
an undue degree, a circumstance tending
rather TO The disadvantage of those i'll
whose favor such expectations have been
excited, but rather TO bespeak the kind at
lenlions Of our community towards MIR.
Tuomey. as a gentleman of modest and
unobtrusive merit, who is coming among
US under the disadvantage Of being entire
ly unknown 10 almost every inhaltitan oil
The State, and having bur limited por-
tion Of time allowed him for tie accom-
plishment OF mnch labor.
Although Mr.. Tuo,ney may possibly
feel depressed al lines by the thought that
his predecessor was such man as MIR.
RulRn. he is YET the very man to continue
what Mr.. Ruffin has begun. From long
intercourse as inhabitants OF the same town
he is we'll acquainted with Mr. Rutfin's
views aud with the results of their applica-
ton, although in the exercise Of his own
iudgemeu, he may sometimes differ from
him. He has in fact already lent hisad
10 the survey in the determination OF the
names of fossil shells, and in other modes,
which Mr.. Ruffin mas acknowledged at pages
AZ aud 63 Of his report.
The recent survey andreport OF Mr. kui-
fin has given an impulse to scientific ex-
aminations OF soils, aud TO improvements
in agriculture, which will be continued by
the Iabors of Mr.. Tuomey, and it is hoped
will no, snbside un,ilits influence Is ielt IN
every part ofthe State. Others will be in.
duced 10 cooperate to The same end by en-
,eriue collateral departments, as for IN
stance, the chemical examination oil soils,
and The investigation of the habits of de-
structive animals, insects especially. DR..
William Hume of this city has already
been examining The habits of the trouble

so about to analyze systematically soil'

LETTER FROM Mr.. ELLSWORTH.
Washington Citu, !

~
Patent Office, Nov. 3, ,ls43.
: Messrs: Gaylord and Tucker.-I no.
,iced in your last number Of the Cullivalor,
just at hand, particular notice of Bonn
mer's process-also his advertisement an
nouncing, "Bommer's manure method, Sc
cured By letters PATENT" and referring TO
"documents recorded ip the patebt Office"
to prove his, rights. This advertisement
has greatly Increased the burlhen of an

may be mislcd by my silence, | hasten 10
state the facts as they appear of record.
Mr.. Rommer, on the 18th of May, l843,
presented an application for patent for
making manure. This application was
daily examined, and rejected for want Of
novelty. No appeal was taken. The
application was Withdrawn, and S20, the
usual sum allowed on Withdrawals. paid TO
Mir BONNER on. the 6thiof July last. No
other application has been made by Mr..
BONNER for patent for similar .purpo-
ses,* 1t may NOT be improper 10 state
that Messrs. Baer & Gouliart, in June,
ls43, obtained patent to an alleged i'm
provement on the method OF making ina
nure, patented iu France by Jauffret,
which saidmethod, however, has not been
patented in Inc United States, and is there
fore free 10 the public. How far the pub

tions, may be ascerlained by referring to
the claim of the American patent, which,
you will perceive, is restrictedto the prepa-

from Jauffret manure heap.
These ingredients are, in many cases, to
be replaced by others; this lye TO be pre-
pared 10 or Is days before use. The
quantity Of materials above named, for the
conversion Of from TO 1000 lbs. of straw
or other dry vegetable stalks, will answer
for about double that quantity Of green
vegetable matter.
In using this lye, the plan Of Mr.. Jauf
frets to steep in it the vegetable fibres,
which are to be acted upon by throwing
them into the vat or reservoir containing it,.
and removing it thence at great labor so
as 10 form high heap in the vicinity o:
The vat, in which The DRAWINGS are allowed
10 run.
We have thus given brief outline of
the method of Mr.. Jauffret, the same ap-
pearing necessary to the understanding of
our improvements, which consist in our
omiting altogether The excessive labor Of
sleeping The materials to be acted upon The
I've, and elevating Them from thence 10
the heap; and also in the preparation Of
lye, which is equally effective with iha,
of Jauffrei. at much less cost, and which
can be used Immediately on its being
made, thereby saving the delay Of 10 or
Is days, which LA Melhode Jauffret,"
requires.
We prepare a reservoir to contain The
I've as usual, and in the immediate vicinity
of this, we make our stacks or heaps Of
vegetable matter, which is to be converted
into manure.
HMr. BONNER informs us that on finding his
own claim rejected, he was induced to make
an arrangement with Baer & Gouhart, by
which his claim was again presented, and the
patent secured in their names.-EDs.
