With these explanatory remarks, 1 will state it* yield, and such other characteristic traits as it strikes tue to possess. Bly patch was planted on a plot of ground in my garden, 32 by 2d feel in dimensions making 73B square feet. Tlie soil was deep rich loam, which. t described to you, 1 highly manured. It had the benefit of good culture, and its work ing was always done at the right time. On toe 15th September, 1 gathered and housed my little crop, consisting of 254 good ears, rejecting all me nubbiuf While tlie corn was in the roasting enr •tale, as I observed in liiy former note. I pulled 24 good eorr. If theu, I add these to Uiose I pull ed on the 15th September, it gives the product of S66 ears ou 736 square feet of ground, and as there are 43,500 square feet in an acre, the yield, calculating that each ear will shell half a tin : oi com, - was at tlie rate of 123 33-65 bushel* pur •ere. But this i- far short of the lictuaJ yield.as one of my cows fonud her way into my garden on Me night of the 25th of August, and destroye . a con siderable quantity. Besides this, my cli ckens de predated largely upon it. Having spoken of iu yield, 1 will proceed to state its peculiar traits ut character. Its suckers branch out from the root, and after arriving at maturity, it is difficult to distinguish them from the main stalks, being so uearly equal in size, and so alike in appearance. The stalks and suckers were from 9 to 11 feet high; not so tiiicjc as may be supposed from trie number of suckers which were thrown out and permitted to grow, as the larger varieties of field com, which are generally carefully suckered.— From actual measurement, however, 1 can state the suckers and staiks in my putch were from 3 3-10 to 4 1-10 inches iu circumference, measured four inches from tlie ground. 1 planted hut two grains of corn in each hill, uud yet those lulls had on them 10,14, and in oue ifutrnce lu good sized ears each. The ears have teu rows of grain on them—are from 8 to 11 inches long, of medium thickness; the grain a beautiful peurly white flint, of great specific gnvily, and Jroin the sweetness of tu,- roastiugears, which we cooked, 1 nave no dnnb will prove an excellent meal-eom. uni lie ibuud to possess u ver/lurge quantity of saccharine mat ter. It uiokus, us uiiy be presumed, a very iar-e quantity of fodder; and on taut account is desira ble to a very great portion ol com planters, most of whom rely in u measure upon their coru-neida to furnish winter provender lor tueir stock. - So lur from its being a late corn, und ‘requiring two seasons to mature it, I consider .it au early com, which opinion is borne-out by the fact of iny having gathered and honsed mine on tie Joth oi September, a period when. iniicii other com is scarcely out of the milky state. I have given tlio result of my own experience above, and will add, that two of my friends ivho made experiments with it also, speuk in high terms of its productiveness. Besides tnese gentlemen, 1 observe iu your paper that Dr. Muse uud Mr. Sniigston.of the Eastern Shore of this State, arc well pleased with their experiments. I hare thus discharged u fluty which I owe to Mr. Thorhurn, uud will remark, that in doing so I have no possible interest, eithqj* of u pecuniary nature, or of feeling, to subsorve. He is n gen tleman that I know not, except by reputution. 1 have never bad tlie 'slightest correspondence with him, and in all tium ui probability never will.

Tnroiigiioiit the interior of the enclo sure, and under the turf which Ims grown over die ruins ofthe wall, are to he found vast quanti ties ofa speceies of brick, broken and crumbling, in all part* of which are to’be seen tbe traces of the straw by whten it was bound together. This b *ick Ims evidently never beeu subjected to ti.e a d lion of great ueut. and was probably dried n Uie sun. Other curious relics have also been oc casionally foil' d iu the vicinity, but no examiiui t:nu of any importance has yet been made. The antiquity of this interesting object is proved by Die size of the trees growing on the inouud. ann among the roots of pdf'cnthe brick is to be found. Many of these trees are oak and *n<*alru*, some oi die former of which are eight or nine feet in cir cumference. Another large and reinnrkahle curiosity is a high immntl on the htautiful plantation of Judge Barkm in. in Clark County, and almost bordering on the road between this city und the town of Washington. This mound coversfiom a third to an h dfan icree. is proportioned with gioat n.cet) and exactness, and c iiiuot be less than .>0 or 40 feet in height. It ha* never been examined, but doubtless fonns the tomb of the chieftuiiu of some former tribe of Indian*. A key of singular construction was found some time since, much corroded with rust, and deeply buried tinder die soil, hy a plantdV in one of die northern counties. Thi* is one of the strongest evidences ofa high state ofciviUzatiou among die na'.ion who could have use for sflcli an implement. Men in the Hunter stute do uot need locks or bars »o secure die simple implement* of flieir occupa tion, nnd even auoor of withe* or slender boughs, is rarely added to the sligntlv construct Tiiere must be valuable* to seaure, vine for the property ofotlier* whit M indv, the mviiri »b|e attendant mi must prevail to render a lock or n key a n» a. t c!e of domestic economy. We have hastily mentioned.** they happened to occur to onr mind*, two or three among the thousand .interesting relic* with which onr plain* our hilfr. and onr forests ure so richly stored. A> some other time we shall take up the subject witi. more accurate and extensive information. It i* a ’natter of serious importance and we hope tin- existing Antiquarian Society of this place will pmc. their operations with more energy, or that a lie.v one may he organized. The collection that ha- already been made should he kept in a place of se curity under tlie eye of a proper officer, nud ex ertions made to mid to its store*.
