On Tuesday, the 20th inst., the committee made a visit to the re-

 ed them over every part of his extensive grounds, and through the 

 stables and other out-buildings; also through the manure yard, and 

 giving the committee ample explanations as they proceeded. 



For the high state of cultivation of the fields, the mode of manu- 

 facturing manure, the condition of the horses and cattle, the cultiva- 

 tion and fine breed of fowls, and the entire arrangement of the farm 

 and buildings, the committee cannot speak in too high commenda- 

 tion. 



About 100 acres are under cultivation, forming an immense vege- 

 table garden as folloves: Seventy acres of this land are divided in- 

 to ten allotments, which are cultivated by nine German and one 

 English gardener, who raise vegetables for the markets, and the bal- 

 ance of the farm is cultivated by the General and son.

 cabbages, one acre beets, half an acre carrots, four acres potatoes, 

 cut nine acres of Rbubarb (or pie plant,) and mowed twenty acres 

 grass; fifteen acres of the grass was cut over twice; and a great va- 

 riety of other vegetables, as celery, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, leeks, 

 &c. He keeps eight horses, and six milch cows. He stables the 

 horses summer and winter, and cuts grass for the cattle from May to
