So that it is hoped that. the surplus Coin in the Treasury, at. no distant dsy, will enable the United States to resume specie payments upon all liabilities. . The Loan is called 5-20 from the fact that Bonds may run for 20 years. yet the Government has a right to pay them off in Gold,at par, at any, time after b years. THE INTEREST IS PAID HALF-YEARLY, viz: on the first days of November and May.

In respect. to the .soil and crops there can he no mistake, as visitors can exam ine both, and'itoue are expected to buy before sodo 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 Pruit 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 Alarket.-- 7 ,8y looking over a map the. reader will perceive that. it. enjoys the best market in the Un and has direct communication with New York and Philadelphia twice a day, liing only thirty-two rages from the latter. Produce is 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 lie gets at the lowest. price. . In the West. what he sells brings him a pittance, but for what. he buys lie pays two prices. In locating _here the settler has many oilier 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, and hp 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 dayi. 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?— This question the render 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 wahes in improiring it, and whet it is done it is a certain in dependence and no lass. A few acres in fruit. trees will insure a comfortaJle living. The land is put down to hard- times. and all haprovemeats can be made at. a cheapar rate than most any other time.

Esq., published in the New fork Tribune, in reference to Vineland. All persons sew recd this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near Ifoote—Vinelend—Re marks upon Marl—Soil. its great. Fertility-=The Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crops Produced— Practical Evidence. It is certainly one of the most ettensive fertile trade, 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 Me oldest farms appar ently just as profitable productive as w h en first c l ears , of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would 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 distinet 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 plasmas the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl, in all its forms, has been used to fertilize crops in England, from the time it. was occupied by the Romans; and in France and GermLny 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 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 ether situa tions,.having the same general characteristics or al least appearances, is entirely unrenuwerative except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil ization. proof. Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklin township, Gloucester county, who purchased somo eight miles north of Ovine, 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 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 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 33/ bushels; and then theground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave ms a first crop 24 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 i■ for wheat. Mr:Wilson'a growing crops, and the wheat. stub ble of the present season, all indicate his lend 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 a field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the hitel 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 manured high, we suppose!" we said interrogatively, and got this reply:— "Vaal, you see, we couldn't. a done that; 'cause we Ladn t hut forty one-horse loads altogether, for 23 acres, and we wanted the most on't for the truck. The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, melons, &c., and a very productive patch of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that thesoil was not efertile, eves unaided by.clover, Which had fed the corn, bOcausetbe "truck patch" had not been in eultivaticn 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 that three years, he has got 234 acres cleared and it Crops this season, as well inclosed and . divided into several fields; with cedar rail or pole fence ; has built. a two-story dwelling, about 38 by 40 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 is November; when the land being sowed with 1501bs of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded lt to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The ryeistubble turned, after knocking off •a large growth of oak sprouts, - and dressed again with guano and seeded to wheat, gave 15 or 18 bushels. The crop which he was threshing while we were there promi ses more, of a very plump grain, and the straw is very heavy.. Vie went over the stubble. and found the clover and. timothy, from seed sowed last spring, on the wheat without harrowing, looking as well as we ever saw it upon any old cultivated fhrm, and with a lit tle work done in the winter to clear off some roots and rotten stumps, and setting 'stakes to mark per maneht ones, he will be able to cut the crop the next year With a mowing machine, and we will guarantee two tons per acre, if he will give the oveiplus if ii aver_ runs the estimate. A. L. IRWIN, JAMES M. IRWIN Report of Solon Robinson, 07 THE NEW YORK I,FON Tffli 2$ few words about the quality and value of this an.., for cultivation, of which we have some strong Part of the land was planted with potatoes for • 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 hare been planted with corn as a first crop. which yielded 30 bushels of yellow '.lmt corn, and the second crop 40 bushels, and the third crop. treated to lsOlbs. of guano, we are sure no one would estimate below 40 bushels per acre. [The reader will recollect that. the writer is now speaking of land perfectly new, and which can scarcely be considered in good arable condition En.] In other cases, the corn crop of last year was fol lowed with oats this season, not yet threshed, but will average probably 40 to 50 bushels. Sweet po tatr4s, beans, melons, and, in fact, all garden veg etables, as well as young peach and other fruit trees planted this year show very plainly that this long.neglected tract of land should remain so no longer, and there.is now a strong probability that it will not ; for under, the tuaspiees of Itir.
