A Rare Opportunity in the Best Market, and Moat De lightful and Healthful Climate in the Union. Only thirty milee South of Philadelphia. on a Railroad; being a Rich, Heavy Soil, and Highly Productive Wheat Land; Amongat the Bert in the Garden State of New Jersey. It consists of 20,000 acres of GOOD land, diviled into Farms of different sizes to suit the purchaser— FROM 20 ACRES AND UPWARDS—and is sold at the rate of from $l5 to $2O per acre for the farm land, pay able one-fourth cash, and the balance by quarter yearly installments, with legal interest, within the term of four years. The Soil is, in great part, a Rich Clay Loam, suit, able for Wheat, Grass and Potatoes—also a dark and rich sandy loam, suitable for corn, sweet-potatoes, tobacco, all kinds of vegetables and root crops, and the finest varieties of fruit, such as Grapes, Pears, Peaches, Apricots, Nectarines, Blackberries, Melerrs and other fruits, best adapted to the Philadelphia and New York Markets. In respect to the sod and crops there can he no mistake, as visitors can exam ine both, and none are expected to buy before so do ing, and finding these statements correct—under these circumdtances, unless these statements were: correct, there would be no'use in their being made: It is considered the best Fruit soil in the Union. [See Reports of Solon Robinson, Esq., of the New York Tribune, and the well-known agriculturist, William Parry, of Cinnaminson, New Jersey, which will be furnished inquirers.] The Market.—By looking over a map the reader will perceive that. it enjoys the best market in the Un ion, and has direct communication with New York and Philadelphia twice a day, 1 - ling only thirty-two miles from the latter. Produce I: this market. brings double the price that it does in locations distant from the cities. In this location it can be put into market the same morning it is gathered, and for what. the farmer sells he gets the highest price : whilst. groceries and other articles he purchases he gets at the lowest. price. In the West, what he sells brings him a pittance, but for what he buys he pays two prices. In locating here the settler has many other advantages. He is within a .few hours, by railroad, of all the great cities of New England and the Middle States. He is near his old friends and associations. He has school for his children, di vine !service, and all the advantages of civilization, and he is near a large city. The Climate is delightful; the winters being as- lubrious and open, whilst the summers are no warm er than in the North. The location is upon the line of latitude with northern Virginia. Persons Wanting a change of Climate for Health, would be much benefitted in Vineland. The mild ness of the climate and its bracing influence, makes it excellent for all pulmonary affections, dyspepsia or general debility. Visitors will notice a difference in a few days., Chills and fevers are unknown. Conveniences at Hand.—Building material is plen ty. Fish and oysters are plenty and cheap. Visitors must expect, however, to see a new place. Why the Property has not been Settled Before ?— This question the reader naturally asks. It is be cause it has been held in large tracts by families not disposed to sell, and being without railroad facilities they had few inducements. The Railroad has just been opened through the. property this season, for the first time. Visitors are shown over the land in a carriage, free of expense, and afforded tune and opportunity for thorough investigation. Those who come with a view to settle, should bring money to secure their purchases, as locations are not held upon refusal. The Safest thing in Hard Times, where people have been thrown out of employment or business. and possess some little means or small incomes, is to start themselves a home. They can buy a piece of land at a small price. and earn more than wanes in improving it, and when it is done it is a certain in dependence and no Lass. A few acres in fruit trees will insure a comfortaNle living. The land is put down to hard times. and all improvements can be made at a cheaper rate than most any other time. The whole tract, with six miles front on the rail road, is being laid out•with fine and spacious aven ues, with .1 town in the centre—five acre lots in the town seli !rom $l5O to$200; two and a-half acre lots, at from $BO to $l2O, and town lots 40 feet front by 1%0 feet deep, at sloo—payable one-half cash and Lae balance within a year. It is only upon farms of twenty acres, or more, that four years' time is given. To Manufacturers, the town affords a fine opening for the Shoo manufacturing business. and other ar ticles, being near Philadelphia, and the surrounding country has a large population, which affords a good market. • This settlement, in the course of several years, will be one of the most beautiful places in the coun try, and most agreeable for a residence. It is intended to make it a Vine and Fruit grow ing country, as this culture is the most profitable and the best adapted to the market.. EVery advan tage and convenience for settlers will be introduced which will insure the prosperty of the place. The hard times throughout the country will be an advan tage to the settlement, Rs it compels people to resort to agriculture for a living. Large numbers of people are purchasing, and the people who desire the best location should visit the place at. once. Improved Land is also for sale. TIMBER.—Land can be bought with or without Timber. The Timber at market valuation. The title is indisputable. Warrantee Deeds given clear of all incumbrance, when the money is paid. Boarding conveniences at hand. Letters promptly answered, and Reports of Solon Robinson and Wm. Parry sent, together with the '•Vineland Rural." Route to the Land:—Leave Walnut. street. wharf, Philadelphia, at 9 o'clock, A.

Esq., published in the New York Tribune, in reference to Vineland. All persons can reA this report with interest. Advantages of Farming nenr Home—Vineland—Re intirks upon Ztlsrl—Soil. its great. Fertility—The Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crups Produced— Practical Evidence. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming that we know of this side of the west ern prairies. We found some of the oldest farms appar ently just as profitable productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation ; and this manly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants us the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl, in ail its forms, has been used to fertilize crops in England, from the time it. wa.,s occupied by the Romans; and in France and Germ Loy a marl bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the field.-_ Mow much more valuable then it must be, when found already mixed through the soil. where new particles will be turned up and exposed, and transformed to the owner's use every time he stirs the earth. Having then satisfied our minds of thecause, they will not be excited with wonder at seeing indubitable evidence of fertility in a soil which in other situa tions, having the same general characteristics or at least appearances, is entirely nerenu merative except as its produCtiveness is promoted by artificial fertil ization. IV rear words about the quality and value of this lam.. for cultivation, of which we have some strong proof. Our first visit Was to William D. Wilson, Franklin township, Gloucester county, who -purchased some eight. miles north of Millville, about three years ago, 'for the' purpose of establishing a steam mill, t o work up the timber into lumber, to send off by the new railroad, as well as the firewood and coal, for which he built a branch track-a mile and a half long. lie also furnished sixteen miles of the road with ties, and has no doubt made the mill profitable, though his main object was to open a farm, having become convinced that. the soil wits valuable for cultivation. In --this he has not been disappointed, as some of his crops prove. For instance, last year, the second time of cropping, 306 bushels of potatoes on one acre, worth 611 cents a bushel in the field. This year seven acres, without. manure. produced 356 bushels of oats. In one field, the first crop was potatoes, planted among "the roots, and *yielded 75 bushels.— The potatoes were dug, and wheat. sown. and yield ed 16 bushels; and the stubble turned under and sewn to buckwheat, which yielded 338 bushels ; and then the ground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a-first. crop 2j tons per acre. The fertilisers applied to these crops were first, ashes from cletringsl second, 225 pounds of super phosphate of lime; third, 200 pounds Peruvian gu ano; then 50 bushels of slaked lime has been spread upon the clover since it was mowed, and turned in for wheat. Mr. Wilson's growing crops, and the wheat stub ble of the present. season, all indicate his land as productive as any part of the State. At. Mary Barrow's, an old style Jersey woman farmer, several miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we were so particularly struck with the flue appearance of a field of corn, that. we stopped ,to inquire of the hirea man how it was produced. We found that the laud had been the year but. one before in wheat.. sown with clover, and this cut one season, and lest spring plowed once, with one "poor old nag," and ?]anted with corn. “Yes, but you manured high, we suppose 7” we said interrogatively,"and got this reply : "Waal, you see, we couldn't a done tSat ; ' cause we hadn't but forty one-horse loads altogether, for 23 acres, and we wanted the most on't for tha track. The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbtige, cucumbers, melons, &c., and a very productive patch of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that the soil was not :.ifertile, even unaided by clover, which had fed the coin, becausethe '•truck patch" bad not been in cultivation long enough to obliterate all signs of the forest. Our next visit was to the large farm of Andrew Sharp, five miles north of idalville, from half to a mile east. of the railroad, and just about in the cen tre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work here in December, 1858, upon 270 acres. In less than three years, he has got 234 acres cleared and in crops this season, as well inclosed and divided into several fields, with cedar rail or pole fence ; has built a two-story dwelling. about 36 by 40 feet, and a smaller house , for farm laborers, and a stable and granary and some other out buildings. Considerable part of the land was cleared for the plow at $9 an acre, and on some of it the first crop was buckwheat, limed whit 50 bushels in powder per acre. This.crop may be put. in July 4th to 20th, and yields 20 to 30 bushels per acre, harvested in November; when the land being sowed with 150Ibs of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12 to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The rye'stubble turned. after knocking off a large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano and seeded to wheat, give 15 or 16 bushels. The crop which he was threshing while we were there promi ses more, of ak very plump grain, and the straw is very heavy. We went over the stubble, and found the clover and timothy, from seed sowed last spring, on the wheat Without harrowing, looking as well as we ever saw it upon any old cultivated farm, and with a lit tle work done in the winter to clear off some roots and rotten stumps, and setting stakes to mark per manent ones, he will be able to cut the crop the next year with a mowing machine, and we will guarantee two tons per acre, if he will give the overplus if if war runs the estimate. Part of the land was planted with potatoes for a first crop, which yielded 120 bushels per.acre. It was then limed with 50 bushels per acre. and seeded with wheat and clover, yielded and average of over 15 bushels per acre, and the clover now looks beau tiful. Other portions have been planted with corn as a first crop. which yielded 30 bushels of yellow f_mt. corn, and the second crop 40 bushels, and the third crop. treated to moms. of guano, we are sure no one would estimate below 40 bushels per acre. [The reader will recollect that the writer is now speaking of land perfectly new, and which can scarcely be considered in good arable condition En.] In other cases, the corn crop of last year was fol lowed with oats,this season, not yet threshed, but will average probably 40 to 50 bushels. Sweet po tatoes, beans, melons, and, in fa.rl, all garden veg etables, as well as young peach and other fruit trees planted this year show very plainly that this long-neglected tract of land should remain so no longer, and there is now a strong probability that it will not.; for-under the auspices of Mr. Landis, it will be divided into small lots, with roads located to accommodate all—the surveyor is now busy at. this work—and all purchasers will be required to, build neat. comfortable houses, and either fence their lots in uniformity. or agree to live without fence, which would be• preferable, by which means a good poptilation,will he secured, who will estab lish churches. schoolsV.Stores, mills, mechanic shops and homes—homes of American farmers , surroinui ed by gardens, .rchards, fields and Comforts of citr ilized life.
