The tints bee come for the citizens of tb• Borough
to take a bold stand against the unrestrained sale of
liquor. It is true, taverns end saloons have been
licensed by tl.e Court, (more than is requisite for
the convenience and wants of the community and
transient visitors,) but they are allowed too much
lizense. The law is daily violated. The peace of
the town is disturbed by drunken men and boys,
nor on ly in the night time but in the broad light of
day. The evil is growing worse and worse, and
will ;so continue until the people are stirred up to
the enforcement of law and order. There are some.
places worse than others, and to such let the day of
grace be short. Let something be done speedily.

111 HE Secretary of the Treasury has not yet given
J.. nutiee of any intention to withdraw this pop
ular Loan from Sale at Par. and until ten days no

SUBSCRIPTION AGENr," will continue to supply
the public.
The whole amotlnt of the Loan authorized is Fire
Hun trod Millions of Dollars. NEARLY FOUR
HUNDRED MILLIONS HAVE .BEEN ALREADY
SUBSCRIBED FOR AND PAID INTO TliE TREA

large demand from abroad, and the rapidly increas
ing home demand for use as the basis for circula
tion by National flanking Associations now organ
izing in all parte of the country. will, in a very
:hart period, absorb the balance. Sales have late
ly ranged from ten to fifteen millions weekly. fre
iuently exceeding three millions daily, and it is
well known that the Secretary of the Treasulry has
ample a d unfailing resources in the Duties on
Imports and Internal Revenues, and in the issue, of
the Interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes,
it is almost a certainty that he will not find it ne
cessary, for a hog time to come, 'to seek a market
for any other twig or permanent. Loans. THE IN
TEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF W RICH AdE PAY

Prudence and self-interest must force the m i nds
of thesi contemplating the formation of National
Banking Associations, as well as the minds of all
who have idle money on their hands. to the prompt.
conclusion that they should lose no time in sub•
scr:bing to this most popular Loan. It willnoOn

remium. as was the result. with the "Seven Thirty"

sutbscrii,ed for at, par.
IT IS A SIX PER CENT LOAN, THE INTEREST

The Government requires all duties oti imports to

Amounted to-over a Quarter of a Million of Dollars
daily, a sum . nearly three times greater- than that
requi.ed in the payment of the interest. on all the
s_2o'■ and other permanent Loans. So that it. is
hoped that the sarplus Coin in the Treasury, at. no
distant day. will enable the United Statesto resume
specie payments upon alt 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 ot. in Gold at par, at any unit
after 5 years.
THE INTEREST IS PAID HALF-YEARLY, viz :
on the first days of• November and May.' -0
Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are
Payable to bearer, and are $O ,$lOO, $5500. and
$11100; or liPgistered Bonds of same denomina
tions, and in addition. $5,000. aid SlO,OOO. For
banking purposes and for Investments of Trust
monies the Registered Bond,. are preferable.
Theses 20'e can he taxed by States, ciite-,

The inconvenience of a few days' delay in the

AO great; but as interest commences from the day
of oulaseription, no loss is ocensioned, and every
effort is being made to diminish the delay.

New Settlement, of Vineland.
A EMEDY FOR HARD TIMES.
A Rare Opportunity in the Best Market, and Most lk
lisflitful and Hee, Wu/ aureate in the Union• Only
thirty miles South of Philadelphia. on a Railroad;
&tiny a Rich, Lleavy Soil, and highly Productive
Wheat Land; Amongst the Beet in the Garden Stale
of New Jersey.
It consists of 20,000 acres of GOOD land, diviied
into Farms of different sizes to.suit the purchaser--
FROM 20 ACRES AND I:temps—and i 9 Sold at the rate
of from sis 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-080 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 sea and
crops there can be no mistake, as visitors can exam
ine both, and none arc expected to buy before so clu
ing, and finding these statements correct—under
these circuinstances, 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, I - ling only thirty-two
miles from the latter. Produce t. 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 he sells
brings him a pittance, hut for what ho buys he pays
two prices. In locating here the settler has many
other advantages. He is within a few hours, by
railroad. or all the great cities of New England and
the Middle States. He is near his old friends and
associations. lie has school for his children, di
vine service, and all the advantages of civilization.
and he is near a large city.
The Climate is delightful ; the winters being sk
lubrious and open, Whilst the summers are no warm
er' than in the North. The location is upon the
line of latitude with northeim Virginia.
Persons Wanting a change of Climate for Health,
woulil be Much henefitted 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 Iland.—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 Refbre
This question the reader naturally asks. It is be
cause it has been hold 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 b es in
improving it, and whoa it is done it is a certain in
dependence and no Lass. 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 chea,ar rate than most any other time.
The whole tract, with six miles front on the rail
road; it being laid out with fine and spacious aven
ues, with • town in the centre—five acre lots in the
town groin $l5O to$200; two and a-half acre
lets, at from $3O to $l2O, and town lots 50 feet front
by 1%0 feet deep, at sloo—payable ono-half cash
and t.t.e balance within a year. It is only upon
farms..ef twenty sores, er mere, tkat four years'
time is given.
To Manufacturers. the town areas .11. line openieg
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 moat 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 be an advan.
tage to the settlement., as it compels people to resort
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.
TIMISER.—Land can be bought with or without
Timber. The Timber at market valuation.
The title is indisputable. Warrantee Deeds given
clear of all incumbrance, when the money is paid.

Marl, iu all its forms, has been used to fertilie*
crops in England, from the time it was occupied by
the Romans; and in France and Germt.ny a maid
bed is counted on us a valuable bed of manure, that,
MI be dug and carted and spread over the field.—
How much more valuable then it mart he, when found
already mixed through the coil, where new particles trill
be turned up and exposed, and transformed to the owner's
use every time he afire the earth.
Having then satisfied our minds of (because, they
will not be excited with wonder at seeing indubitable
evidence of fertilityin a soil which in other situa
tions, having the same general characteristics or at
least appearances, is entirely unreuu met-wive except
as its productiveness is proinoted by artificial fertil
ization
rew words about the quality and value of this
lan. for cultivation, of which we nave some strolls
proof.
Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklin
township, Gloucester county, who purchased son•
eight miles north of hlillville, 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. II•
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 instAnee, last year, the second
time of cropping, 3U6 bushels of potatoes on one
acre, worth 00 cents a bushel in the field. This year
seven acres. without manure. produced 350 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 IG bushels ; and the stubble turned under and
sown to buckwheat, which yielded 33ii bushels;
and then theground was sown to clover and timothy,
which gave as a first crop 2} tons per acre.
The fertilizers applied to these crops were first,
ashes front 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 whoa L.
Mr. Wilson's growing crops, anti the wheat ■tuL
ble of the present season, all indicate his hind as
productive as any part of the State.
At Mary Barrow's, au 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 4.
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. end got. this reply :.
"Waal, you see, we couldn't a done tact; 'cause
we ha& t but forty one-horse loads altogether, for
23 acres, and we wanted th- most on't for the truck.
The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage,
cucumbers, melons, Sze., and a very productive pate)"
of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were
satisfied that the soil was nut 'll - 'ertile, even unaided
by clover, which Lad fed the coin, becausette *lrma
patch" had not been in enhivath.l long enough to
obliterate all signs of the forest.
Our next visit was re the large farm of Andrew
Sharp. five miles north of Miliville. from half to s
mile east of the railroad, and just about in the mai
tre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work here
in December, 1858, upon 270 acres In less Oar
three years. he has got 234 acres cleared and is
crops this season, its well inclosed and divided into
several fields, with cedar rail or polo fence ; has
built a two-story dwelling, about 3b 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 it
November; when the land being sowed with 150 tbs
of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye. yielded 11
to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The
ryeistubble turned, aft or knocking off a large growth
of oak sprouts, and dressed again with perm and
seeded to wheat, gave 15 or 16 bushels. The crop
which lie was threshing 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 this
wheat without harrowing. looking as well me ever
saw it upon any old cultivated form, and ;with a lit
tle work done in the winter to clear off some roots
and rotten stumps. and setting statics to Rn ' ark per
manent ones, be will he able to cut the crop the next
year with a. mowing machine, and we will guaranies
two tone per acre. if he will give the overplus if it .n.Prr
runs the estimate.
Part of the land was planted with 'potatoes for a
first crop. which yielded 120 httsh•cls per sere. It
was then limed with Al bushels pe•' acre. and seeded
with wheat and clover, yielded and average of over
Ni bushels per acre, and the clover now looks beau
tiful.
Other portions have been planted with corn as %
first crop. which yielded 30 bushels of yellow '''.Ant
corn. and the second crop 40 bushels, and the third
crop, treated to 150135. 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
ED..]
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 59 hti&lels. Sweet po
tatoes. beans, melons, and, in fazl, -all garden veg
etables, as well as youno• b peach :and other fruit
trees planted this year show very plainly that thix
long-neglected tract of land should remain so no
longer. and there is now a strong probability that
it will nom for under the auspices of Mr. Landis,
it will be divided into small lots, with roads located
to accommodate all—the surveyor is now busy at
this work—and all purchasers will he required . to
