Only thirty miles South of Phitadelphia, on a Railroad; being a Rich, heavy Soil, and Highly Productive Wheat Land; Amongst the Best in Me Garden Slate of New Jersey. It eonsists 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 nstallments, with legal interest, within the term of four years. The :oil 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. [See Reports of Solon Robinson. Esq.. of the New York Tribwie, 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, }ling only thirty-two miles from 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 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 be sells brings him a pittance, but for what. he buys he pays two prices. In locating here tile 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 civilization. and be 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 benefited 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 Properly has not been Settled Before Y 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 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 l es in improving it, and w.lart it is done it is a certain in dependence and no ..ms. A few acres in fruit trees will insure a comfortaNe 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, ie being laid out with fine and spacious aven ues, with town in the centre—five acre lots in the town set, j rom $l5O to$200: two and a-half acre lots, at from $BO to $l2O. and town lots 50 feet front by I'4/ feet deep, at sloo—payable one•half cash and t.te balance within a year. It is only upon farms of twenty acres, or more, that four years' time is given. To Manufacturers, the town alfords a fine opening for the Shoe manufacturing business. and other ar ticles, being near Philadelphia, and the,surrounding country has D. large population, which affords a good market.. This settlement, in the cohrse 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 rage 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., as it compels people to foot.' 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.

J. A. BARR, MATTHIAS NEAD Report of Solon Robinson, OF THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, UPON THU VINELAND SETTLEMENT. gar The following is an extract from the report of Solon Robinson. Esq.. published in the New York Tribune. in reference to Vineland. All persona cry re d this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near ilome—Vineland—Ra marks upon Marl—Soil. its great Fertility—Ma Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crop 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 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 won I'd 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, allowing many distinet 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 plasauts 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 Germ Lay a marl bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the field.— ..flow 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 the cause, 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 unrenunierative except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil ization :ew words about the quality and value of this lanu'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 Minyale, 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. In this he has not been disappointed, as some of his crops prove. For instence. 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 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 sown to buckwheat, which yielded 331 bushels; and then theground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop tons per ncre. The fertilizers applied to these crops were first, ashes from clearings: second, 225 pounds of super phosphate of lime; third. 200 pounds Peruvian gu artO; then 50 bushels of slaked lime has been spretid 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 ilia 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 fine appearance of field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the hit e.l man how it. was produced. We found that the land had 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. "Yes, but. you manured high. we suppose ?" we said interrogatively. and got this reply ; "Waal, you sae, we couldn't a done teat ; 'cause we hada I but forty one-horse liads altogether, for 23 acres, and we wanted the most on't for the tr.ek. The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbege, cucumbers, melons, &c., and a very productive patch of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that the soil was Rot Itfertile, even unaided by clover, which had fed thecorn, because the ttruck patch" had nor been in cultivatmi 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 40 feet, and a smaller house for farm laborers, and a stable and granary and some,other out buildings. Considerable ptirt of thelend was cleared for the plow at $9 an acre. rind 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 tieing sowed with 151 albs of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye. yielded 12 to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw.
