By looking over a map tho reador will perceive that it enjoys the best oarket in the Union, and has direct communication with New York and Philadelphia twico a day, being only thirty-two miles from the lattor. Produce in this markot brings double tho prico that it does in locations distant from the oitios. In this location it can be put into market the same morning it is 'gathered, ana lor wnat mo larmer sells ho gets the highoat price; whilst groeeries and other articles he purchases he gets at the lowest price. In the West. what he sells brings him a pittance, but for what ne ouys ne pays two prices. In locating hero the lettlor'has many other advantages. Be is within a few hours by railroad, of all the great cities of Now England and the Middle States. He is near his old friends and associa ions. Ho has school for his ohlldron, divine sefviuo, an;' all tho advantages of civilisation, and he is near a Inrgo city. THE CLIMATE Is delightful: tho winters being salubrious and open, whilst tho summers are no warmer thnn in tho North. The locitlon is upon the line of latitude with Northern Virginia. Persons wanting a change of olimato for health, would be much benefitted in Vineland. Tho mildness of the climate and its bracing influence, makos it excellent for all pulmonary nfToetions, dyspepsia, or general debility.

It la booause it has been held in large trnots by families notdisposod to sell, and being witho it railroad facilities they had fow induoomonta, The railroad haa juat boon opened through tho proporty this soa-son for the first time Visitors aro shown over tho land in a carriage, free of expense, an 'afforded time and opportunity for thorough Investigation. Those who come with a view to settle, should bring money to secure thoir purcnases, as locations are not hold upon refusal. Thesafest thing in hard timos,where penplo have boon thrown out of employment or bu.-inos?, and possess some little means or small Incomes, is to start themsol ves a homo. Thoy can buy a piece of land at a smnii price, ana earn more man wages in im- 5 roving it; andwhon it is done it is a certain in-ependonoe and no bss. A few acres in fruit trees will insure a comfortable living. Tho land is put uown to nara lime prices, and all improvements can bo mado at a oheapor rato than most any othor time. Tho whole tract with six milos front on the rail road, is being laid out with fine and spacious avenues with a town in tho eentro five aero lots in the town soli at from $150 to $200; two and-a-half aore lots at from $80 to $120, and town lots 50 foot front by 150 foot deep; at $100 payable one half cash ana tne Balance within ayear. It ia only upon farms of twenty aoros, or more, that four years' time is given. TO MANUFACTURERS, the town ahVds a fine opening for the shoe manufacturing businoss, and other artieles, being near Philadelphia, and tho surrounding country has a large population, which affords a good market. This settlement in the course of aJoxofoU years, will be one of the most beautiful'' pWifia tho country, and most agreeable lor a residence. It is intended to make it a Vino and Fruit growing country, as this eulture la the most piofitable and the best adapted to the market. Evory advantage and convenience for settlera will be introduced which will insure the prosperity of the place The hard times throughout the oountry will be an advantage to the settlement, as it compols people to rosortto agriculture for a living.

Itia certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, In an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farmlnt that we know of thia side of the western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently lust aa profitably productive aa when first cleared of forest fifty er a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this eon tinned fertility. The whole eountryisa marine deposit, and all through the aoil we found evidences of ealoareoua eubstanoes, generally in the form of indurated ealoareoua marl, showing many diatlnot forma of anaient shells, of the tertiary formation; and this marly aubativnce il scattered all through the anil, in a very comminuted form, and In the exact oonditlon moat easily assimilated by such plants aa tbe farmer doaires to cultivate. Marl in all its forma, haa keen ntA to fnrtlllia eropa in England, from the time It wu occupied by the Romans; and in France and Germany a marl bed ia counted on aa a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the field. now muon more valuable then It must be, when found already mixed throuih the soil where new particles will be turned np and exposed, and transformed to the owners as every time he stirs tee anrtn; Hating then ntisflod ear a ndi of the caaje,thej will not be excited with wonder at aeeing lndub-itablo evidence of fortuity in a aoil which in other situations, havl.ig tho same general oharaeteristlia oral least appearances, is entiroly unromuneratiio except as iu productiveness ia promoted by artificial fertilization. A few words about the quality and value of thia land for cultivation, of which wo have strong proof. Our first visit was to William I). Wilson, Franklin township, Gluuoostor oounty; who purchased somo eight miles north of Millvillo, about throe yours ago, for tho purpose of establishing steam mill to work up the timier into lumbar, to sond off oy inonewranroau, as wen as arowood and coal, for which ho built a branch traokamile and a half long. Ho also furnished sixtoen miles of the road with tios, and has no doubt made tho mill profitable, though bis main object was to opun a farm, having become convinced that the soil was valuable for cultivation. In this ho haa not boon disnp- fiointed, ao some of his crops provo. For instance, ast year, tho second time of cropping, 308 bushels of potatoes os ono acre, worth 00 cents a bushel in tho field. This year soven aorea itnout any ma-nuro produoed 355 bushels of oats. In ono Sold, the first orop was potatoes planted among tho roots andyioldcd 75 bushela. Tho potatoes wore dug, and wheat sowd, and yielded IS bushols; and tho stubblo turnod and sown to buckwhoat, which yield od 33 bushels; and then the ground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop 2i tons per aore. Tho fertilisers appliod to those crops; wcro first, ashes from clearings; second 225 pounds superphosphate of lime; third 00 pounds Peruvian guano; then 50 bushels of slaked lime has been spread npon thocloversince it was mowed, and turned in for whoat. Mr- Wilson's growing crops, and the whoat stub-blo.of the presont season, all indioato his land as being productive as any part of the State AO lary Barrow's, an old style Jersoy woman farmer, several miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we wcro bo particularly struck with tho fine appearance of a field of corn, that wo stopped to inquire of a hired man how it was produced. We found that the land had been tho year but one before in wheat, sown witholovor, and this cut one season, and last springplowod onco with 'one poor old nag' and planted with corn. i es, Lut you manured high, wo suppose? wo said interrogativoly,and got this roply Waal, you seo, we couldn't a done that, booause we hodn'tbut forty ono-horse loads altogothot, for 23 acres, and we wanted the most on it for tho truck." Tho truck oonsisted of boots.carrots, oabbago, ou-jumbors, melons, Ac, and a vory productive patch if Lima Beans, grown for marketing. So we woro mtisfied that the soil was not infortilo, even unaided by clovor, which had fod tho corn, b coauso tho truok patch had not boon clovered.and had boon in cultivation long enough to obliterate all signs of tho forest- Our next visit was to tho farm of Andrew Sharp five miles north of Millville, from half to a milo east of tho railroad, and just about in tho centre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work here in Dccombor, 1858, upon 270 acres. In loss than threo years he has sjot 234 aorcs cleared and in orops this season, all well Inclosed and divided into several fields, with ccdarrail or polo fenoo; has built a two story dwolling, about 33 by 10 feet, and a smallor houso for farm laborors, and a stablo or granary and some othor outbuildings. Considorablo part of tho land was cleared for tho plow at $9 per aore, and on somo of it tho first crop was buckwheat, limed with 50 bushols in powder per acre. This orop may bo put in July 4th to 20th and yiolds 20 to 30 bushols por acre, harvested in November; when the land being sowed with 150 lbs of Peruvian guano and seeded with ryo, yielded 12 to 15 bushels por aore and S10 worth .'f trnw.

MARCH 87 Further Particulars of the Newbsrne Fight. . Baltimore, March, 18. Sergeant Maj. D. II. Johnson, of the 28J Massachusetts Rcgimont, came a passenger by the steamer Commodore. From him we gather the following intevesting particulars Our troops under Qen. Burnside, landed on Thursday evening, near the mouth of Subine Creek on the west side of Ncuse River, fifteen miles below Newburno. Owing lo a dense fog the naval vessels did not participate in tbe fight. Early on Friday' morning, tho fight commenced. Our troops advanced along the country rood running parallel with the Neuse River, but a mile or two in tho rear. Tho road was skirted on the west side by a railroad, and dense swamp. All along lho river side were a series of battoncs which were taken by our troops one after another, after somo bloody hand to hand contests. Our troops were divided into th.ee brigades, under Generals Reno, Foster and Parks. We advanced gradually, the enemy deserting their guns, until, we r ached a line of earthworks extending across the road from ibe liver to the swamp on the west, a dUtwcs of some two miles. These earthworks wereveiy strong; they were located about two miles south of Newbert e and between them and the city ran the river trench The country road and the lailroad both passed through these works and crossed into the '.ity by bridges. In front of these works the rebels I ad felled a large number of trees, forming aa almost impenetrable abattis. Hero the flying rebels wero rallied and made for awhile a despraie stand. Our men fought until all their ammunition w's spent, when on order to charge bayonets was given, and the works were f nally taken at the pcint of the b yonet, the enemy flying and leaving everything behind them in their retreat.The rebels burnt tho bridge commun 1 caticg with the town, over vUch the country road and the railroad rp. As tbey had their trains o"cars in their rear, just across the bridge, they were of course able to carry off their wounded and dead. heir has is therefore not certainly known but it must have been severe. Before our troops reached l'''3 'ast work they encountered another which was deserted before they came np. Il was in front of 'bis bsi '((-''fifint'en our uitiittunl Ij.s Wri.i hiijl iueJ. The force of the rebels is supposed to have been about 8,000. We captured a number of prisoners, including Col. Avery who cursed his soldiers i 8 cowards. Just as the battlo terminated the fog lifted, and enabled our gunboals, which had been waiting for an opportunity to participate in the fight, to come up the river, and our troops weie furnished with means of transportation across the river to Newberne. The rebels attempted to fire tho town on their i e treat, but were prevented by the citizens, who extinguished the flames as fast as they were started by soldiers. None of our Generals or staff officers were killed or wounded. We captured from 30 to 40 cannon. Tbe officers of the rebels left their baggage behind, and the men threw away everything. The fight terminated at 3 P. M. an Friday when our troops remained masters of the field. New York, March 19. The following are the details or the battle at Newberne : Com' modore Ilowtn was in command of the fleet of gunboats, and had sunken vessels, torpet docs, and other rebel obstructions- to over come and pass, but surmounted all with but slight damage to but two ol 15 vessels. Two brigs three barks and nineteen schooners were sunk by the rebels above the two rebol batteries. The latter were silenced and the sunken vessel passed , and our flag hoisted over the silenced batteries as our force went along. This was on Saturday afternoon, and night closed in. On Sunday morning a heavy fog set in. but lifted, when our boats passed np safoly, and silenced Fort Thompson with its two heavy columbiads. Then Fort Ellis, with 9 guns was captured after pretty brisk righting, but . the rebels fled soon in a panic and our flag waved over another fort. Only one fort was left to be engaged, and Newberne would be at the mercy of our troops. This was Fort Lane, but the rebels having enough of the boats, offered little if any resistance and fled. The rebels then fifed a large number of scows filled with resin and turpentine, intending to float them down and burn our gunboats, but they got stuck and burned away furiously. The gunboats then sbellcd the depot and track, but our troops bad then crossed and a white flag was hoisted. Our navy did not lose a m n. Operations on land were briefly as follows: Our troops landed 12 miles below Newberne, Geno's brigade in the advance. M:st of the troops boiig so anxious to land that nearly every regiment jumped into the water and waded ashore, and the whole division was ashore in less than two hours. After marching two miles tbey found a deserted rebel camp, with camp fires burning and hot rebel breakfasts untouched. A breast woik was only passed' and the division hivoucked for tbe night, and early in the morning skirmishing began Foster's brigade, composing the Maseachus etta 24th. 25 h,2Gth and 23d, with the 10th Corneo icat in reserve, were in line, and en gaged a 20 gun battery of the rebels on their le't flank, who showered grape, canister acd shell upon them, also heavy musketry from their infantry. The 2d brigade, comprising the 21st Massachusetts, 61st New York, 61st Pennsylvania tnd the ttth New Jersey, en gaged them en the right, and Gen.

OCTA correspondent of the Cincinnati Times writing rrom Columbus tells this story: "After two day.) exploration lor infernal machines, and to discover where the bluff bad been undermined, as was reported to have been done, Cupt. W, A. Sohmitt and company, of the 27th Regiment, discovered ridgos of new earth, similar to ridges which are formed by covering up gas or water pipes in a city, and traced thorn to a cavern. Effecting an entrance, he found a strong, rude woodei frame, covered by eartb, to attract no attention. Inside this, with tbe assist i ance of a light, ho found implements similar to those used in a telegraph office, with wires running in a dozen different directions Fallowing the raised rows of earth, he soon came to a spot where something had evidently been buried. Digging oown some five feet be came to a large iron cask, about three feet high, and a foot and a half throngh in shape, as near as can be described, to a well formed pear, with an iron cap ,'ast.cned by eight scrows. Taking off the cap, he found grapo, canister and four 8-pound sholl, surrounded by about two bushols of coarse powder. Oa the bottom of the cask there was a wooden box containing several batteries with hollow wires attached to two larger wires, covered with a substance impervious to water, connectine with the cavern before spoken o'. A dozen of these iron pots or casks were thus united with this cavern.

Tho following is Gen. Burnside' congratulatory address to his troops. GENERAL ORDER NO. 17. Headquarters Dsf't North Carolina,) Newderns, March 19. J The General commanding congratulates his troops on their brilliant and bard won victory of the 14ih. Their courage, their their patience, their endurance of f itigue, exposure and toil cannot be too highly praised. After a tedious march, dragging their howitzers by hand through swamps and thickets after a sleepless night, r as- sed in a drenching rain, they met the enemy in his 'chosen position found him protected by strong earth works mounting many and heavy guns, ind in an open Geld themselves, they conquered. Will such soldiers advance is viciory. The General commanding directs with peculiar pride that as a well deserved tribute to valor in this second vie ory of the expedition, that each regiment engaged shall inscribe on its banner the memorable name, "Newberne."

The Emperor Napoleon, if we are to believe the current gossip in the Paris correspondence of the London journals, contemplates using his influence to irke Archbishop Hughes, of New York, first cardinal, and then, when a vacancy occurs, Pope of Rome. It is very certain the archl ishop is in high power at the Palais Royal, and there are many state reasons wi y Napoleon might rfish to fill tbe Papal chair with some one outside of the influences that surround the Italian and French prelates, which are known to be unanimously ho tile to tbe present po'icy of Imperial France. Hence he rumor is not so improbable as it appears at first sight. If the Papacy is to be enved in these evolutionary times it mut have more fact and ability at its head than it hag had of late years.

I have a great many things to ray to yuu, but 1 cannot tell you all the incidents that have occurcd since 1 wrote to you laBt. On Thursday morning, or rather Wednesday night, we commenced putting up enlrencnmontsnot less tuan a mile irom the rebel fort, working bard all night W completed oui embankments, rnd by day break our big guns commenced on the rebel forts, which waf returned by them immediately. The fighting continued all that day, and the way the shells and balls struck around us waa anything but pleasant. However, I cared very little for them, until Col. Swayne camo rid in ; near me, when I took hold of his horn whilo he dismounted for some purpose, leaving Ins horse in my care. I held mm until I became tired, and then hitched him to a bush near where I s'ood, and had just stepped aside when a shell explosed; and a piece passing near my head, struck the Colonel's horse in the side, opposite the spot w'lere I l:nd just been standing. Just after another ball struck a man in the breast and tore him to pieces ne r me. and a shell just after exploded and tore off one man's leg, and broke the legs of two others. Another shell burst, and a piece broke a man's leg near me. Although the balls and shells flew thick and fast, the foregoing is all the damage they done us. We then moved and found a phoo where the shells and unit wie not so dangerous; and while lying on the ground, as close to it as we could, one man wa wounded by the bursting of a shell. We continued in this position until night, when we were ordered a mile eloper to the rebel fort, where we lai i down to sleep, when it commenced raining harder than I al-. most ever felt it. I layed and tried to sleep until l becamo so wet,. 1 could lay no long er, when I got up and sat on my konpsa k, the water being at least three inches deep. I covered my heai with my blanVet, and went to sleep in this ronition. In the morning we started for camp, not knowai ing that the rebels bad fled. When wn got to camp the news came that the rebels had fled, and we started to seo what they had 1 ft. In the first fort we found 12 heavy cannon with powder shell and grape all in good order. Some say this is the best fort of its size in this country. In the other fort they loft seven or eight cannon. We then advanced to town, where we found houses without doors or " indows. We then returned to the fort, and mounting to the top of it, we gave three cheers for the Union. We expect in a few days to have harder fighting than we have ha1. All well. THOMAS E TAYLOR. Tho "Impregnable Humbug" Special to the N. Y. Tribune. Washington, Friday March 14, 18G2. A visitor to Manassas examined the provision returns of seven companies of the 21st North Carolina Regiment, which he found in a heap of papers. The highest number of men in any one of these companies was thus officially shown to be 46, others showed less tha i 40 men. If 'here were no more in the other three companies, the regiment was between 400 and 500 strong. The returns of other companies belonging t" different regiments averaged no more men. Irish deserters said that with furloughs, deserters, oVc, several regimen' s had dwindled down to 200- By what a bugbear has the Capitol of the .Nation been belengured and the Treasury bankrupted.

The deputation of the joint Investigating Committee on the conduct of the War, returned in wrathful mood this even ing from the bloodless field of Manassas. Their estimate of the lorccs which has held at bay the p0er of he Rep blio, is so t-mall as to m-iku brave men to hang their Leads.
