and the rest productive, arabic, land under Gull
tivation.
The timber consists of the varieties of Oak,

estimates the value of the hickory alone, for
Spokes, at double the assessed value of the land:

ship timber.
The arabic land has heretofore been cultivated
by intelligent and liberal agriculturists, and un-
til the war with extraordinary remuneratlVe re-
suits The estate was somewhat neglected dur
ing the war, and the owners have not had tho

acre. Mari is abundant on the place, and has
been literally applied. The Mattaponi is q
beautiful stream. Its navigation was obstructed
during the war, but ut a slight expense 1t can be
made navigable for vessels of lOO tons to the
