In the free stales the land is portioned out into small farm&, tilled by the hands of the owners, whose attention is exclusively bestowed upon the business of agriculture* There is a certain portion of intellect devoted to the improvement of every hundred sjcres^ In Virginia the land is held for the most part in portions ten or twenty times larger, and even were the owners zealous for im- provement, on farms* so large that sanoe careful over-r sight and attention could not be bestowed on every ...part. But then the owners of the land will not give their attention to the matter. It is contrary to the whole tenor of their habits, taste and education. They have slaves, and can hire an overseer. Why should they plague themselves with the details of a business which they do not like, and da not understand? From the overseer and the slaves, as they ihave ho interest in improvement, of conrse nothing is to be exr peeled. In fact it is the obvious inte.rest of the over- seer to scourge as much out of the plantation.
