After our ^arrivftj,'in the county of Lunenberg," only ten uiiles from North. Carolina,; we were _strnck with the appearuifce of ;the roads. The Virginians cifll them roads, but your Canadian people would call them ditches. In your country you have a long 6treet, perhaps more than twenty miles in length, with comfortable farm houses on each side of it You have a wide road well turnpiked and in many pKcea well|graveiled. Nothing f' the kind j is seen in: Virginia!. Roads 'rim in every direction, as plantations are not laid opt with any order whatever. What they call roads, are narrow places about the width of the waggon wheels, aiid the centre of the road is the lowest. As the soil is easily washed awrty here,"and as the land, is .very rolling, the roads, are generally about three feet lower than the land fgi each tide. This tendency of the .soil to wash away! has one advantage, jit soon cuts. Idown a hill. I have travelled on roads: so deep that jtho banks on each side were morel than twelve feet over -ypiir head.
