The mansion-house, commonly, is situated about one hundred paces from the entrance, and an avenue of laurel trees, which are cut in a pyramidical form, and pride of China trees, leads to the door. The most of these houses are two stories high, and are surrounded with piazzas and covered galleries. Back of the elegant mansion- house stand the negro cabins, like a camp, and behind the sugar cane fields, which extend to the marshy cypress woods about a mile back, called the cypress swamp. Among th...ese country- houses is a nunnery of Ursulines, the inhabitants of which are employed in the education of female youth. Five miles from the city we reached the former plantation of McCarthy, now belonging to Mr. Montgomery, in which Gene- VOL. II. 9 66 ral Jackson had his head quarters. About one hundred paces farther, commences the right of the line, to the defence of which this general owes his great renown. I left the carriage here, and went along the remainder of the line, at most a mile in length, with the right wing on the river, and the left resting on the cy press swamp.
