most generally marled and thereby best, improved 

 districts of Virginia. Yet but a few miles outside 

 of this gradually widening circle, marling is com- 

 paratively neglected, and some proprietors have 

 even done nothing as yet to obtain the profits from 

 it, which they might command as cheaply as any 

 other persons. But though the progress of this 

 mode of improvement, like every other in our be- 

 nighted agricultural condition, is slow, compared 

 to what it should be, still it is steadily gaining 

 ground, and never loses ground or favor where 

 once commenced. It may be long before the comple- 

 tion — but we nevertheless have undiminished con- 

 fidence in our prediction often heretofore made, 

 that, by means of marling, the tide-water region 

 of Virginia is destined to become the most valua- 

 ble agricultural region of the state, and one hav- 

 ing agricultural advantages inferior to but few re- 

 gions in the world. — Ed. F. R.
