The Soil is, in great part, a Rich Clay Lanni. suit able for Fr/teat, 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 be 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 he no use in their being made. It is considered the best Fruit soil in the Union.

Persons Wanting a change of Climate - for Health, would be much benefitted in Vineland.

Chills and ferers are unknown. COnVeldenees at llitnd.—Building material is plen ty. Fish and oysters are plenty and cheap. Visitors must. expect, however, to see anew 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 jnst 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 4 borough '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 waes in improving it, and when it. is done it is a certain in dependence and no 13es. 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 clatapar rate than most any other time.

It. is only uPou 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 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.

Fertility—The Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crops Produced-- Practical Evidence. It is certainly one of the most extempiee fertile ttracte, in an almost level position. and suitable condition fur pl,asant fiitininy that WC bluer (-)f this, side of tha west ern prairies. We forma' some if the oldest farms appar ently just as profitable pr' ductiee Ce when first cleared aj forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover th e cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is is m arine deposit, and all through the soil we round evidences of calcareous substances. generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing ninny distinct forms of ancient shells, or the tertiary formation; and this marly substance is scattered till 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, frotu the time it was occupied by the Romans; and in France and ,Gernmmy a mark bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure. that. can be dug and carted and spread over the field.— How much store valuable then it must be, when found already mixed through the soil, where new particles will be turned up and exposed, and tram formed to the owner's use every time he stirs the mrth. 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 unrenumerative except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil ization. a l'ew words about. the quality and value of this an. for cultivation, of which we have some strong preen 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, to work up the timber into lumber, to send oil 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 tics. and has uo 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, withont manure, produced 356 bushels of oats. In one field, the first crop was potatoes, planted among the roots, and 'yielded 75 bUshels.L- The potatoes were dug, and wheat sown, and yield ed 16 bushels; and the stubble turned under and sown to buckwheat; which yielded 3311 bushels; and then - the ground 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 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 is for wheat. Mr. Wilson's growing crops, and the wheat stub ble of the present season, all indicate his land as productive us 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 a field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the birts man how it was produced. We found that the land 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 planted with corn. "Yes, but. you Immured high, we suppose?" we said interrogatively, and got this reply :-- "Waal, you see, we couldn't a dune that t. 'cause we hadu t. but forty one-horse loads altogether, for 23 acres, and we wanted the most met for the truck. The truck consisted of beets, carrots, calda,ge, cucumbers, melons, &c., and a very productive petal of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that the soil was not afertile, even unaided. by clover, which had fedthe coin, because the "truck patch" bad not been in cultivatan long enough to obliterate all signs of the forest. Our next visit was to the large farm of Andrew Sharp. five miles north of Miilville, from halt' to a mile east of the railroad, and just about in the cen tre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work here in December. 1555, upon 270 acres. In less than three years, he has get 234 acres cleared and its 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 outbuildings. Considerable part of the land was cleared for the, plow at $0 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 busliela Vet' acre, harvested in November; when the land being sowed witlosolba 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, gave 15 or 16 bushels. The crop which he was threshing while we were there protni 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 oil' 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 mowino• ° machine, and we. Will guarantee two tons per acre, if he Will give the overplus if it aver 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 dint corn. and the second crop 40 bushels, and the third' crop, treated to 150Ibs. of guano, we are sure no use would estimate below 40 bushels per acre.
