Only thirty miles South of Phdaddpkia, on a Railroad; being a Rich, Ileavy Soil, and llighly Productive Wheat'Land; Anionyst the Best in the Garden State of Xero Jersey. It consists of 20,000 acres of GOOD land. into Farms of different sizes to suit the purchaser— FROM 20 ACRES AND UPWARDS—and is sold at the rata 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, Melons and other fruits, best adapted to the Philadelphia and New York Markets. In respect. 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. [Sec Reports of Solon Robinson. Esq., of the New York Tribune, and the well-known agriculturist, William Parry; of Cinnaminson, New Jersey, which will he 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, }ling only thirty-two miles front the latter. Producer this market brings double the price that it does in locations distant from the cities. In this locatiott 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. Ile 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 and he is near a large city. The Climate is delightful ; the winters being sa lubrious and open, whilst the simmers 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 byfamilies 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 fol. 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 smelt incomes, is to start themselves a home. They can buy a piece of land at. a small price. and earn more than wi s es in improving it, and when. it. is done it is a certain in dependence and no osv. A few acres in fruit trees will insure a:comfortable living. The land is put down to hard: times, and, all improvements can be made at a :oLea p er rate than most any other time.

HUTCH 'SON Report of Solon Robinson, OF Tali FKW YORK TRIBUNE, I.:PON TUX VINELAND SETTLEMENT. riar The following is on extract from the report of Sulon Robinson. Esq., published in the Now York Tribune, in reference to 'Vineland. it persons can, re 41 this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near lionte—Vineland.--Re marks upon Marl—Soil. its great Fertility—Una Cause of Fertility—?mount of Crops Produoa— Practical Evidence. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition fur pleasant farming that we know of this side of the west ern prairies. We found some of the oldest farms tipper- MN' just as profitable productive as wh en first c l eare d of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist woulP 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 plasants the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl, in all its forms, has been used to fertilise crops in England, from the time it was occupied by the Romans; and in France and Germt.ny a marl bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the field.— Bow 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'♦ 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 unrenu Literal ive except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil ization. .4 Yew words about the quality and value of this lan. for cultivation, of which we nave some strong proof. Our first visit was to William D. Wilson. Franklin township, Gloucester county, who purchased some eight miles north of. Mi'trifle, about three years ago, for the purpose of establishing a steam 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 ties, 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. n t his 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 abushel in the field. This year seven acres, without manure, produced 356 bushels of oats. lu 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 10 bushels! and the stubble turned under and sown to buckwheat, which yielded 331 bushels; and then theground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop 21 tons per acre. The fertilizers applied, to these crops were first, ashes from Clearings ; second, 225 pounds of super phosphate of lithe; 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. .tl,t, Mary Barrow's, an old style Jersey woman farmer, several miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we were so particularly strnek with the fine appearance of s field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the hired man how it. was produced. We found that the laud Mid been the year hut one before in wheat. sown with clover, and this cut one season, and last spring plowed once, with one "poor old nag," and planted with corn. -I'kYes;,but you immured high. we suppose ?" we said interrogatively, and got this reply ; -- "Watti;yoti see, we Couldn't a done gnat; 'cause we hadn t but forty one-horse loads altogether, for 2 acres, and we wanted. the most on't for the truth. The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage, cummibers, thelons,Ae., and a very productive patch of - Lima beaus,,grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that the soil was not ,Afertile, even unaided by clovey, which had fedthe ceitt, because the "truck patch" had 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 Millville, 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 4U 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 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 in November; when the land being sowed with 150Ibe of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12 to 13 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The rye'stubble turned, after knocking of a large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano and seeded to wheat, gave 15 or 16 bushels. The crop which he was Areshing 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 upomany 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 it over 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.
