The Long Lake Lands con
sist of 5tf QO seres of Switmp, afl in one
body .extending bHter than a mile' on the
Lake, and covering all the' timbered and
valuable lands on it, between 700 & 8Q0
acres of piney woods, joining the 'swamp,
and 120 acres on the river Neuse, nine
mUes below the town of Newbern, at a
1
?ery suitable place for erecting warehou- f
ses to deposit the produce of the SWamp ;
Farm intended for sale. f Of the swamp,
120 acres are cleared and reduced to the
plough ; 4o acres jnore were ditched a-)
round and deaded eight years , ago, and '
bout half of it Igrubed and cut dpwii j
this winter j 20Q acres more were dead-
ed on the opposite side of the canal from
the cleared land Syearsjago,. A canal has
been laid out, extending from the, piney
yoodsto the lake, dividing .the body ' of
Swamp pearly into 2 equal parts, & better
than a mile and a quaner of it cut part
of the way JO feet, the rest; 6 feel wide,
and all the way 3 feet deep of deepen A
nother ; canal, serving as a drain to the
main canal, is cut .from that .190 poles
down the creek, 10 feet wide and 8 deep,
Each field of 40 acres on the canal, has
aditch 4 feet wide and 3 deep around 3;
Sides of it; which with three small ditch-
eS, a foot wide and 2 feet deep through '
the field, has been found amply sufficient
to lay the land as dry as heed be desired
in the wettest seasons. -On a lot of 5 or f
6 'acres, at the head of the canal, .are'e-1
rected an excellent ' barn and, smoked!
bouse,' overseers and jiegro hoosea,i Bnd
amnil house, with S rooms on the tower j
and v one in the.iupper story, ti as. Deep
raised and enclosed f r-.the ; owner's resi-j
dence. On the 120. acre tract at the ri
ver, is an bid framed .bouse, with a brick
chimney, a .parcel s of ne bearing pear
and apple tree's. The bouse, with a little
repair, could.be made a very comfortable
residence for residing at a while upon a
fishing j fowling or hunting expedition,
As a farm, no body of swamp land in the
state is susceptible of being - rendered
more productive or valuable for the culti-
. vati n of corn, peas, cotton, oats or rice 5
while the waters of the lake, through the
agency of undershot wheels may be ren
dered subservient to working mills or
manufacturing froichinerv of any kind
end to almost any ext ent, and at the same
time be employed in transporting the
produce ofthe establishment from the
' margin of the lake to the Unding at the
river, a I am enabled from seven - years
experience, to say that both negroes and
white people raised on the sand hills, in
the healthiest part of Lenoir county, en
joy better health on t ese lantls than they
where tbey -vere raised. For the land I
have cleared, I have been offered one
ball the corn, peas, and fodder it : would
roi'kice"y tf I wouli rent them, and these
fl;ei by no meHiis as fertile a those on
fiui near the lake. Even at the present
loJ prices of produce, this ' would : ay a
re i of 3 to 9 doarsncre. 7 The hea
yieist timbered part of the land, I know
bv Experience, can be cleared and put in
order for the plough at a surj under $15
on acrei From the fertility of the soil,
bealthiness of situation, and vicinity to a
good market, there would be no itifficulty
in ''finding good tenants at tfie above rate
ol rents, for every foot pf the, swamp, as
fast as it could be cleared.- Can capital
be better employed by those having, it to
spare, than in the purchase "and impro -ing
these lands, either lor their fqwa cui
iivcttion, or for renting; when it is known
thai they tan be bought at private sale for
$5 nn acre for the swamp, & $1 an acre
01 the piney woods adjoining it, & $400,
lb-price it cost for the place on , tht ri
er, and the payments; made as accom
" dating as the purchaser cati desii e, ; so
thrft the purchase money be a' small part
pa'd flown, and the balance ? ell secured
on interest. If not pfeviously disposed
of at private sale on traWve, or Tsome
thing near the above terms,' this property
will.be sold to the highest biGder, at the
Ciurt House, in Neberit,on Thursday,
