It is conaidered the best Fruit. soil in the Union. [See .Reports of Solon Robinson, Esq., of .the NeW York Tribune, and the well-known agriculturist. William PairY, of Cinnaminson, New Jersey, which Will be furnished inquirers.] The Market-4;y 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,ling only thirty-two miles from thelatter. Produce 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, Ind he is near a large city. The Climate is delightful ; the winters being sa 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 ajActions, dyspepsia or general debility. Visitors will notice a difference in kfew days.

Why. the Property has not been Settled Be/are,— 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 time 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 iu 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 v,m is es in improving it, and whel it is done it is a certain in dependence and no lass. A few acres in fruit trees will insure a'conifortable living. The land is put down to hard• Ames. and all improvements can be made at a chea y sr 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. , town in the centre—five acre lots in the town seis $l5O to$200; two and n-half acre lots, at from $BO to $l2O, and town lots 50 feet front by. Ico feet deep, at sloo—payable one.half cash and kle 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 Shoe 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 ono of the most beautiful places in the coun try.-and mosta.groeable 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..

SEir The following is an extract from the report of Solon Robinson, Esq., published in the New York Tribune. in reference to Vineland. All persons ca re d this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near Home—Vineland-11e marks upon Marl—Soil, its great Fertility—The Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crops Produced— Pram ical 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 site of the west ern prairies. Ire 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. Tho 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 marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl, in all its forMs, has been used to fertilize crops in England, front the time it was occupied by the Romans; and in Prance and Gerint.ny a marl bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the field. How much more valuable then it mud be, w ien 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 unrenumerative except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil ization :". - ew 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, Gluucester county, who purchased some eight miles north of Millville, about three years ago, for the purpose of establishing aateatu mill, to 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. He also furnished sixteen miles of the road with tiett, and has no doubt. made the mill profitable, though his main object: was to open a farm, having become convinced that. the soil was 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 60 cents a bushel in the field. This year seven acres, without manure, produced 3.56 bushels of oats. In one field, the first crop was potatoes, planted swung the roots, and yielded 75 bushels.— The potatoes were dug, and wheat sown, and yield ed 10 bushels; and the stubble turned under and sewn to buckwheat., which yielded 881 bushels; and then the ground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop 2 tons per acre. The fertilizers applied to these crops were first, ashes from clearings: second, 225 pounds of super phnsphate 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 WOMILL 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 hit es 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 last spring plowed once, with one "poor old nag," and plantA with corn. •'Yes, but. you trimmed high. we suppose ?" we said interrogatively; and gOt this repty";--- "Waal, you see, we couldn't a done that; 'cause we hadn t. hut fOrty one-horse loads altogether, fer 23 acres, and we wanted the most on't for the track. The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbti,ge, cucumbers, melons, &AL, and a very-productive patch of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that the soil was not lafertile, even unaided by clover, which had fed the coin, because the "truck patch" had not been in eultivatien long enough to obliterate all signs of. the forest. Our next visit was to thelarge farin of Andrew Sharp", five miles north of from half to a. mile east. of the railroad, and just about in the cen tre of Vineland. My. 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 Sit by 40 feet, and a smaller house for ham laborers, and a stable and granary said some other outbuildings. Considerable part of the land was cleared for the plow at $9 all acre, and on some of it the first crop was buckwheat, limed with 50 bushels in powder per acre. This crop maybe put in July 4th to 20th, and yields 20 to 30 bushels per acre, harvested in November; when the laud being sowed with 150Ibs of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12 to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of strew. The rye stubble turned, after knocking off a large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano and seeded lo wheal, gave 111 or 16 bushels. The crop which he was threshing while we were there promi ses more, of a 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 otT 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 tans per acre. if he will give the overplus if it Over_ runsthe estimate. Part of the land was planted with potatoes for a first crop, which yielded 120 bushels per acre.
