OF THE NEW tOUK TBIBUNK, rtroN TBI VINELAND SETTLEMENT t-J"The following is an extract from the report of Solon Robinson, Esq., published in the New York Tribune, it reference to Vineland. All persons can read this report with interest. Advantaeos of Fat mine near Homo Vine- land Remarks npon Marl Soil, its great Fertility The Cause of Fertility Amount of Crops Produced Practical Evidence.

In an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farminr that wa know of this side or the western prairies, w a louna soms of the uldest firms apparently just as profitably productive ns when first clearod of foreil fifty ar a bnndred vers airo The geologist would toon discover tha cause of this continued fortuity. Tha whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evideneea of raleareous substances, generally in the form of Indurated calcareous marl, snowing many distinc frmjof anoient shells, of tbe tertiary formation: and this marly sobs to nee is soattorad all through the snit. In a very eomminuted form, and in tba eiaot condition ntosteasily assimilated oy such plants as tne rarmer desires to cultivates Marl in all its forms, hes been used to fertilise orops in England, from the time it was ooenpied by te Romans; and in France and Germany a marl bed is ooun'edon aa a valuable bed of man ore. that ean be dug and oarted and epread over tha field. Bow moon mora valuable then it mast be, when found already rolled through tha soil where naw particles will be turned qp and aiposed, and transformed to the owners nio every time he stirs tie earth: llripjll'e JiliiS'tf own) nd of tho au!e,they will not be excited with wonder at aeelni Indub Itnhle evidenoa of fertility in a soil which in other situations, having tho samo general characteristics or at least appearances, is entirely unremunerative evoept as lis productiveness Is promoted by artificial fertilisation. A few words about the quality and value of this land tor cultivation, of which wo have strong proof. Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Frank- iiu townsnip, uioaoeaior oouniy; wno purohased some oight miles north of Millville, about three yoarsago, for tho purpose of establishing a steam mill to work up the tiin i ar into lumbar, to send off oy me new railroad, as wen as firewood and ooal, for which be built a branch track a mile and a half long. Ho also furnished sixteen miles of the road with tios, and has no doubt mode tha mill profitable, though his main object was to open a farm, having become oonvinced that tha soil was valuable for cultivation. In this ho has not been disappointed, ao some of hisorops prove. For instance, last year, me second time 01 cropping, iiuu bushels of potatoes os one acre, worth 60 cents a bushel in the field. This year seven acres jitaout any ma-nuro prodneed 359 bushels of oats. In one Hold, the first erop was potatoes planted among the roots and yielded 76 bushels. Tho potatoes were dug, and wheat sowd, and yielded 16 bushols; and tho stubble turned and sown to bnokwheat, whloh yield ed 33 bushels; and then the ground was sown to olover and timothy, which gave as a first erop VA tons per asra. m The fertilisers applied to these erops; ware first ashes from clearings; second 225 pounds super1 phosphate of lime; third 200 pounds Peruvian guano; then 60 bushels of slaked lime has been spread npon the olover sinoo it was mowed, and turned in for wheat. Mr- Wilson's growing orops, and the whoat stubble of the present season, all indicate his land as being productive as any part of the State. At nary narrow's, an old style Jersey woman r. , :,.. ...... i. f. ,- i nriinUri tr.,w -;ih .1,1 r r-""- v - u, muuoar- annflar. ance of a field of corn, that wo stoppod to inquire of a hired mniihow it was produced. We found mat tne lane nan Deen the year but one before in wheat, sown with olover, and this out one season, and last spring plowed once with 'one poor old nag' and planted wiihoorn. 1 as, '.ut you manured high, we suppose? we said Interrogatively, and got thisroply Wnal, you see, we couldn't a dono that, bocause we hadn't but forty one-borse load) altogether, for 28 aoros, and wo wanted tha uustonitfor the truck." The truok consisted of bcots.carrots, cabbage, cu-3umhers, melons, Ac, and a very productive patch of Lima Beans, grown for marketing. Ho we were satisfied that tho soil was not infortile, even unaided by olover, which had fed the oorn, because the truck patch had not been olovered,and had been in cultivation long enough to obliterate all signs of the forest Our next visit was to the farm of Andrew Sharp five miles north of Millvillo, from half to a mile east of tho railroad, and just about in tho centre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work hero in December, 1858, upon 270 acres. In loss than three yoars he has fot 234 aores oloarod and in orops this season, nil well inclosed and divided into several flolds, with oedni rail or polefenoe; has built a two story dwelling, about 3d by 40 feet, and a smallor houso for farm laborers, and a stable or granary and some other outbuildings. Considerable part of tho lnnd wasclcarod for the plow at $9 per aero, nnd on some of it tho first orop was b.iokwheat, limed with 50 bushels in powder per acre. This orop may be put in July 4th to 20th and yiolds 20 to 30 bushols por acre, harvested in November; when tho land boing sowed with 150 lbs of Peruvian guano and seeded with ryo, yielded 12 to 15 bushols per acre and $10 worth of straw. Tho ryo stubble turned, aftor knocking off a large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano and soodod to wheat, gavo 15 t It) bushels. Tbe orop which he was threshing whilo we woro there promises moro, of a vory plump grain, and the straw is very heavy. We went over the stubblo, and found tho olover and timothy from seed sowed lost spring, on the wheat without harrowing, looking as well as we ovor saw it u,ion auv old cultivated farm, and with a littlo work done in the winter tu clear off some roots nd rotten stump. , m t sottiogstak.es to mark permanent ones, he will be able to cut the crop the next year with a mowing machine, and wo will guarantee two tons per acre, if he willgive the over plus if it overruns the estimate. Part of tho land was planted with potatoes for a first crop, which yiclae i 120 bushels por aoro. It was then limod with 50 buhels per aoro, and sood-ed with wheat and olover, yielding an. average of over 15 bushels portiere, and the olovor now looks beautiful. Other portions have been planted with oorn as a first crop, which yielded 30 bushols of yellow flint oorn, ana ino sooona orop lorty bushels, ana the third crop, treated to 150 lbs of guano, wo are suro no one would ostimote below 40 bushols por aoro.

In other casos the oorn orop of last vear was fnt. lowed with oats this sonson, rfot yot thrashed, but will avorage probably 40 to 50 bushels. Sweet potatoes, boar.s, melons and in fact all gardon vegetables, as well as young peach and othor fruit trees planted this yoar show very plainly that this long jeglocted tract of land should remain so no longer, and thore is now a strong probability that it will not; for under the auspices of Mr. Landis.it will bo divided into small lots, with roads located to accommodate all tho surveyor is now busy at this worn, .ana an purcnasors win ne required to build neat comfortable houses, and either fence their lota in uniformity, or agree to live without fonce, wuicn wuuiu ue prvioruoie, oy wnicn means a good population will be secured, who will establish churches, sohools, stores' mills, meshanio shops and homes homes of American farmers, suriounded by gardens, orchards, fields and oomforts ef civil ited life.

HOW THE UNION SOLDIER DIED, BT via. E. h. vaiour. Frequently in the early part of this civil war Union soldiers in Virginia were found dead by the relieving guard, having been assassinated by the Secessionists, Not in the gorgeous chamber; Not in the lofty hall, Where flags and anciont banners The mighty past recall. Not on the field of glory, Whsre countless thousands lie-But 'neath the silent starlight, He layeth him down' to die. No mother bendeth o'er him; No wife or sister dear, To soften his dying anguish, , , Or follow his lonely bier. Hush! toll me, is he sleeping? Why sinks his weary brow? He hears not the lurking foemen That leaneth o'er him now. See how those false eyes glisten, Mark you the glittering knife! One stroke; and it is ended Our Northern soldier's life. 'Twas thus in the gloomy midnight. Far away from his northorn bride, By tho hand f a Southern traitor, The Union soldier died. From New Madrid. New Madrid, March 17. 1862. Ma. C. S. Pile, Dbab Sib: As we have been some time ia the flold, I believe I will fulfill my promise to write you. Nothing of Ty great importance occurred durinet our journey to our final landing; at tho little town of Hannover, Missouri, to require special mention; although we parsed by many places and saw and heard, as is common to every journey of any length, many things of con siderable interest There is one thing however that attracted tbe attention of every one, I mean tbe groat change that occurs in the public sentiment ol tbe people between Cin cinnati and Louisville Until, and for some tim after, we had passed Cincinnati, the love of the people for the Union and the Consti tution, showed itself in loud demonstrations of applauBe as we passed along, hut as we approached Louisville it became evident that we wore approaching the country of an enemy. The cheers (or the Unicn became loss frequent and the Stars and Stripss could bo seen only at greater intorvals, until at length the disappeared altogether- Large crowds might sometimes be seen s'anding along tho shore, hut their tongues were silenced by tbo poison nf treason in their hearts. This continued to be the case almost all the way from Louis villo to Cairo, along tbe south sido of the river; but though tho public sentimnnt was clearl - in favor of the pretended Southern Government, yet there were no signs of an armed foe until after our landing at Commerce At Cairo wo saw the first gunboat and I must con'ess that my first notion as to their formidable charaotor has been fully sustained by our actual experience with those of the onemy. There wore quite 8 number of them at Cairo, and among tho rest some of those that had been in tho battle at Fort Donelson. Thoy had evidently seen some hard service as their disabled condition plainly showed. The pilot houses of some were torn in pieces; the Wheel houses of others destroyed, and all boro npon them some marks of that hotly contested field. Here also we saw some of the "Secesh" pris oners, and their wounded, or at least, a boat load of them. The prisoners wero about the hardest looking sot of mortals I ever saw; many of them being ragged and without uni forms, and to all appear ncos as ignorant as they appeared miserable There were how ever some very intelligent men among them, especially among the officers; but these were plainly o' the better class of southern society. 3ut of all the scenes of misery that it was ever my fortune to behold, that of the rebel wounded was by far the mos. complete and sickening. They had just arrived from Fort Donelson and being crowded closely together their condition could not be other than miserable, Many of them were severely and sorce mortally wounded, and iu a matter, cl course the stench had almost become intoler able, and then to one unaccustomed to such sights, the vet? sieht is sickenine. After Ittn.ling at Commeroo, we were de layed only t few days, by preparations which 'n the eaBt would hare occupied weeks, after which the march waa begun. Late on the evening of the first day we came up to the famous black swamp which covors so large a portion of south-eastern Missouri. It is a dreary, desolate waste covered in places to the depth of ten or fifteen feet with mud and wator, but more generally with tall swamp grass, briars and every thing else that tends to make a country dreary and deserted. Here we saw the first signs of the enemy. There was only one practicable road over the swamps, and this the rebels Lad endeavored to raider impassable by tearing np all the bridges, and placing all imaginable obstacles to our advanoe over the road. Just at the farther end of the narrow passage the enemy had planted a urn all battery, which their cowardice impelled them to desert an onr advance guard approached. If they had held their position they might have given us considerable trouble, as there no poss bility of effecting a passage by any other route. Nothing ol importance occurred betwee- this point and New Madrid; although tbe rebels occasionally made their appearance in pna.ll bedies. On tbe fourth day of or march wt Arrived near New Madrid, and-the first brig ade, composed ol the 27th, 39th, 43d and 63d Ohio Regimonts, advanced In lire of battle. No sooner did the rebels observe us advancing than they opened on us with their heavy artillery. They appearid to have conslderab'e of a aotion to fight a naval battle with us, fer which we were not altogether prepared, as they withdrew to thoir gunboats and opened on us from tbom. Our officers saw at once that it would be usolens to attack tbom until our heavy artillery had come up, so we with drew for a mile or bo and encamped. During the ten days we lay befcre the town, before tbe final attack, both armies wero largoly re enforced, and the skirmishing was nlmast con tinual. On some occasions indeed, the en gagements bore more resemblance to an artil lery battle than a mere skirmish, as nearly all the firing on both sides was from the can non. Late on the evening of the 12lh It be came generally known that some movemon1 of Importance was at band, though its character was not so generally known. The 431 was called out shortly after tho beating of "taps" and with knapsacks and every thing, commenced their march they knew not where. After marching and counter march tng for about an hour they found themselves within 2,000 yards of the rebel fortifications with plenty of picks and spades to use through the night. During the night three regiments were employed continually throwing up en. trenchments and mounting cannon. At day light the aotion was commoucod by tbe artillery on both sides, and during the whole day, the roar of tbe cannon was incossant. The 43d and 63d, Ohio, were supporting the batteries, and of course were in the most exposed position of any of the numerous Regiments that lay near expecting the command to storm the rebel works. The day however wore away, and still the infantry bad to lay flat on the ground, while a storm tf balls swept ovor tbem, until night at last put an end to the conflict but not to the misfortunes of the poor soldier. A torrible thunder storm arose and the rain came down in torrents on our un protected men. It was in the midst of the darkness occasioned by the storm that the enomy made preparations to dejert a place which they found thoy could not hold much longer, and so busily did they work that by daylight tho last boat load pushed out of sight. They wero obliged ho we for, to leave all their ammunition, and stores of every dc scription, of which they possessed large amounts; 16 cannon, many of them of the h-o-ost cilibrc, also fell into our hands. Tbe rcloi lortifications had evidontly cost a vast amount of lime and labor, but they wore by no means calculated to resist successfully a detormined attack by infantry. What tho loss of tbe lebels was wo will perhaps never find eut, but it must have been rory Urge, as at one time during the day they wore driven from one of their forts by the groat number of shells bursting among them Our oxn loss was vory small, not ovor 30 altogether killed and wounded, and ono halt of which was in our own Regiment and tbe battory it supported. We have received our mail from Mt. Vernon, fros ef chargo for re-forwarding, for which, you have tho sincere thanks of the whole Regiment. I should be ghd to hear from you at an early date. With sincere well wishes for you and your familyj I remain your friend, Geobqe W. Wise. Company B, Fourth Ohio. We are indebted to our old friend Capt. II. B. Banning, of company B. 4th, Ohio Regiment, for the Baltimore Clipper of the 26th, ult. from which we talte the fol'owing extract showing the whereabouts of that company at that date. Our readers, many of whom have relations and friends in th s noble company, will be gratified at the highly complimentary manner in which 'he officers and men are all not bed below, and we venture that few compliments are better deserved in these days, than this. ARRIVAL Or RKDJL PRI30KKR8 . Y sterday afternoon, about five o'olock, strain of cars arrived at Camden station; having on board 23G rebel prisoners taken on Monday evening last at Winc'iester, Va. Tbey were in charge of Company B. 4ih Ohio regiment, Capt. H. B. Ecnning and Lieut. W. T. Palton. The arrival of the train was very unexpected, as there had b en na telegraph to that effect, but they were looked for some time during the night, in consequence of which there were very lew persons prerent, but in a short time i became pretty generally known ihrongLru: tht city, when hundreds of persos Hoc! ; to the depot to gel a glimpse of them After a few moments delay, Mr. James L McPhail, Deputy Provost Marshal, made his appearanoe with a squad of police officers from the different districts, and formed a line ani kept the crowd back, which had increased to sever&l hundreds. Orders wero then given to form the rebe' prisoners in line; which bein done, the Ohio boys aided by the police guarded them np Howard st eel to Madison, thence to the "Hotel de James, de Joil," where they were provided with good comfortable quartern end rations, (strangers to them,) (Japt.

Numbers of persons would couie to their doors and exclaim, "Who are thov?" "What are they?" and "Where arj they goinu?'' Upon being answered, would say, "Well, that beau all I over saw." In oonversa'ion with several of tho rebels we found them to be very intelligent, and some of whom we were personally acnuainted witli. Some say they wore pressed into service, others that tbey enlist d for the war voluntarily, and bcli jved conscientiously that they were right, and were wil mc to fight for their rights.. Several, upon entering the tail; reuaric ed, 'To glad we are sa e, and all we want is plenty to eat and drnk."

The prenter part of iho Tennessee river expedition arrived at Savannah, Il .rdir county, Tennos3oe, on the evening and during tbe nigntoi he Ilih; instant, t.ir nuarly two miles up aud down t .e stream lay li e fleet. More vessels wo e conntant ly nrriv ng, the channel was filed with them, gliding about in senroh of landings near their respective brigade and hca i- qnaiters, and the air was heavy with the murky smoke fro i hundreds of puffing ciiimuevs. H ilt a dozen regiments were brought out on dress parade, and the delighted inhabitants of the pleasant little country town of Savannah cr wded into the streets or peeped out behind the curtains of the second story windows to see tho u w:nlel sight and convince tbeir halting lauti itinc, beyond peradventura, the Yankoes wre there at least to defend tnera in their til- concealed preference for tho Union cause. Conspicuous among the troo s were the noted Eleventh Indiana end Missouri, of Gen. Lew. Wallace's division, whose steady tread and precision of movement were unexcelled by any equally numerous body of regulars our old army over boastedThe expedition bed, indeed, reached the sunny South. Wo were seventeen mile3 from the Mississippi line, find only twenty-five or thirty f.om the north-west corner of Alabama, precisely as far north as the northern line of South (!nrolinn, and lar-ther down than any of our armies, except ing the small ones that h-w-j gone around by the sea const expeditions. BOUIITErtN TENNESSEE UNIONISM There wan ct' I'-nco throup1! the day that the pri:icf.l Union t er.'.i in-r.i along the Tennessti' . '.tuj nut wiidiiy myth.

"Laws-a-merch," replied hr companion, "I kuowed tbo Ynnkees was a powerful people, but I n-iv r did see so many boats in all my born liiys before. Guess we will have peace now." More pruclicnl was the masculine respon e to the reappearance of tho fliig. Some one hundred and fifty citizens of he town and county volunteered fur the war to fill up the D.n- elson-thir.ned ranks of the Illinois regi ments that were first to disembark. BUARP PRACTICE IN PICKETINO A RUSK. Throughout tho day General Wallace kept scouting parties out around the position of his infau ry. The results of t ieir labors were the capture of three rebel privates and ono captain, and ascertaining that Gentnl Cheatham, with a force thn:. when all concitLtrated. amounted to full 15,000, had marched from Purdy thed.y before to take posses, ion of ihe very landing at which we bad disembarked, wh'te a high bluff gave a splendid position for artillery to cummand the river,) and that, .oiled in this by our arrv '1, be was then lying within four and a b.ilf m.les of our position. Our brigades wed- kept oou stantly chaining their p aces; and if (he e1 el flous could mike anything of Gen eral Wallace's dispositions or numbers tney must have possessed extraordinmy powers for combinations. Tbe reb-1 captain was taken by a ian- kee ruBe,iha. must bare struck him as ex ceedingly uochiv.lrio. He was out cn pi.k. t .uly. One of our oouts oame ud- okniy on him at a point where two of hi pickets were posted. Fortuna ely, t scout was quiok witted, or the capturo might have been cn tbe other side. "Who are v hi?" he bolaly inauired oi l e fi at rebel tie reached. "I'm picket.'' Wed, so am I, but a little off my post, looking around for tbe Yankees." "W era is your post?" askod the captain; "you've no business to be away from it." "Come this way and I'll show you," responded the acout. Tba moment he got out of sight of the two privates, he quietly informed the officer that he was a picket on the other side, and would have to take him along! And he actually marched the oaptaio in, sord, pistols, shoulder-Btra; and ell. General Choatham was to astonished by our unaccountable demonstrations that ho never dreamed of attacking us, and so-tuaily burnt a little bridge between the positions to prevent us fiom attacking him. TALK WITH THE BLAVX9. Therejwas no scarci y of evidence that we could get fbundant, and, so far as tba facts came within their comprehension, wholly reliable information, from tha alaves. At one of the houses near where tbe division halted was a party of slaves whose maetor had runaway. One of them was a sad exemplification of some of th social workings of the system. Her master was her father, and her mistress was her step-mother. She had been rather better raised than mo t of her companions, and was remarkably vivacious and intelligent. as wf II as strikingly handsome. She gave a great Qtai ot valuab.'e information to tha General, and was especially clear and secure1 e in her statemedts. "Won't rouhave trouble for tellinff us all this, when year master comes back?" said some one. "Oh, lhey'1 quiz us wonderfully," said she ''but they won't make muc out of us. The most they'll want to know :s what you said to ns about running away." Some one made an al lusion to our numbers or plans in tho presence of this slave famiiy. "Oh. you needn't fear saying anything here" said mi quad, oon, "itrnse people are all right you may bo sure, and as close as tbe grave." Death of tho "Beardod 'Woman.' Julia Pastrana, the "Beard d Woman,' w o as exhibited for some time at Barn-urn's Museum, and subsequently in varirj parts of the o i mtry and E irop, died in Moeco w, in 1 860.

He gives a very cheering account of the feelings of the people in that section of country. Ho says that there is moro decided Union feeling in that psrt .if Ten- ness e ana the northern portions of Alabama, than in a laige part of Kentucky. M n enough had come in from Alatrma to our headqua; ters at Sa?annah to form regiment, and an Alab ma Union regU m at oa neen lormea. it ill be remem-rered that throughout the entire section of country there are ery few s aveholders. sna the people have no motive to war against th federal government Troops were flocking in from Alabama. Tennessee,. ueorgia and Mississippi, with the prospect that brigade nvght soon bo formed of troops from the Guli and cotton states to-fight against the rebellion. Other statements at a still later date, confirm these statements. " he mountainous regions are almost invariably loyal, tt the slavtholding are certainly disloyal. Yar.ooy Not Captured; . It turns out after all that the arch traitor Yancev is still at large, and that tht statement of hit- having recently made a specb in New Orleans has some probability in it. Ve learn fiom our correspondent at Key West, the manner in which the rumor ot' his r.pture got started It appears that Commodore Ridely of the Santiago de Cub.t, received a letter from the American Consul-Gen ral at Havana, informing him that Ymrey had S'lih d for a souib' rn port in the William Mallory.
