Only thirty mile., South of Philadelphia• on a Railroad I bring a Rich, Heavy Soil, and Highly Productive Wheat Land; Amongst the Best in the Uardot State of Sew Jersey. It consists of 20,000 - acres of GOOD land, divi•led into Farms of ditlereut size, to suit the purchaser— Frnt 20 ACRES AMU uPwAttos--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 yuat•tcr 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 Pwaraes—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, Melons and other fruits. best adapted to the Philadelphia and New York Markets. In reupee.t to the soil 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 circumstances, 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, Fling only thirty-two miles front the latter. 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 whet 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. Ile is within a few. hours, by railroad. of all the great cities of New England and the Middle States. He is near Ills old friends and associations. He has school for his children, di vine service, and all the advantages of civilization, and lie 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 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 7 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 mirchases, 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 wa b es in improving it, and when it. is done it is a certain in dependence and no lam A few acres in fruit. trees will insure a comfortaSle living. The land is put down to hard. Imes, 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 • town in the centre—five acre lots in the town set, i. !rout $l5O to $200; two and a-half acre lots, at from $BO to $l2O, and town lots 50 feet front by rio feet deep, at sloo—payable one-half cash and . t.ie balance within a year. It. is only upon firms of twenty acres; or mdre, that four years' time is_ given. ' • To Manufacturers, the town affords a fine opening for the Shoe manufacturing business. and other ar ticks, 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 he 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 he an advan rage to the settlement, as it compels people to resort to agriculture for a living.

Our first visit was to William D. Wilson. Franklin township. Gloucester county, who purehased some eight miles north of Millville.about three years ago, for the purpose of establishinga steam mill, to work up the timber into lutnber, 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. Ile also furnished sixteen miles of the road lvith ties, and has nu doubt made the mill profitable, though his main object was to open a farm. having become convinced that the soil was valuable forcultivntion. In this he has not been"disappointed. as some of his crops prove. For instlueo, last year. the second time of cropping. 306 bushels of potatoes on ons acre. worth 60 cents a bushel in the field. This year seven acres, without manure. produced 356 bushels of oats. In one field, the first crop was potatoet., planted among the roots, and yielded 15 bitshels.— The potatoes were dug, and wheat sown. and yield ed 16 bushels; and the stubble turned under and stein to buckwheat, which yielded 33it bushels ; and then theground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop 2.1 tons per acre. The fertilizers applied to these crops *ere first, ashes front clearings: second, 225 pounds- of super phosphate of liMe; third. 200 rounds Peruvian gu ano; then 50 bushels of slaked lime has been spread upon the clover since it was mowed, an Wilted 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 mileas.onth of Ur. Wilson's, we were so particularly struck With the fine appearance of field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the Lb ed man how it was produced. We found that the land had been the year but one befcire in wheat. sown with clover, and this cut one season, and last !ring plowed once, with one "poor old nag," and planted with corn. "Yes, but you manured high. we suppose?" we said interrogatively, and got this reply "Wash you see, we couldn't a done tont 'cause we hadn t but forty one-horse loads altogether, far 23 acres, and we Wanted the most on't for the trick. The truck consisted of 'beets, carrots, cablu,ss, cucumbers, melons, &c., and a very productive patch of Limit beans, grown for marketing. So we were satiated that the soil was riot ;Afertile, even unaido4 by clover, Which - bid fed the coin, becausethe “trnot patch" had not been in oultivatuniong enough to obliterate all signs of the forest. Our next visit was to the hirge form of Andrew Sharp.' five Miles north 'of'9lsllville, from' half mile east 'of . the raitroath'and just abOut in the 'cen tre of Vineland. Th..

Considerable part of the land was cleared for the plow at 59 an acre. and on ;50111E or it the first croft was buckwheat, limed with 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 ra November; when the land being sowed with istrlha of Peruvian guano and seeded' with rye. yielded 12 to 15 bushels per acre and SI 0 worth of straw.
