This question the reader naturally aak.1. It is .teoause it has been held in large tracts by families Botdisposed to sell, and being witho it railroad fa-eilitios they had few inducements. The railroad . baa just been oponed through the property this sea- rn for the first time. Visitors are shown over the land in a carriage, "free of exponse, an 'affordod time and oppertunity 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 bavo been thrown out of employment or business, and possess some little means or small incomes,is to start themselves a home. Tboy can buy a piece of land at a small price, and earn more than wages in improving it; and when it is done it Isaeertain independence and no lass. A few acres in fruit trees - will insure a comfortable living. The land Is put down to hard time prices, and all improvements eaa be made at a ohcaper rate than most any other time. The whole tract with six miles frond on the railroad, is being laid out with fine and spacious aven ues with a town in the centre five acre lots in tne town sell at from $150 to $'200; two and-a-half acre lots at from $80 to $130, and town lots 60 feet front by 150 feot doop; at $100 payable one half cash : and the balance within a year. It la only upon (farms of twenty acres, or more, that four years' ttime is given.

' land Remarks upon Marl Soil, its great Fertility The Cause of Fertility , Amount of Crops Produced Praotioal Evidence. ', I Itiicertaloly one of the most extensive fertile ' -tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming that wo know of this side of the western prairiea. We found some -ef the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive at when first oleared of forest fifty er ' hnndred years ago. . ' The geologist would soon discover the oanse of this continued fertility. The whole country ia a marine doposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of Indurated calcareous marl, showing ninny distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation;and this marly substance ii scattered l J through the soil. In a very comminuted form, 'and in the exact condition most easily assimilated ) by such plant aa the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl in all ita forms, baa been nsed to fertilise crops in England, from the time it wai occupied by tho Romans; and In France and Germany a marl 'bed Is counted on aa a valuable bed of manure, that lann be dug and carted and spread over the field. , flow much more valuable then it must be, whon ! f. und already mixed through the soil where new W,r idea will be turned up and exposed, and transitu d to the ewnors use every time be stirs the living then satisiod oar i oil of the eems,they will not bo excited with wonder at seelnir imluh Itable evidence of fertility in a loll which in ether situations, having the samo general characteristics orat loaitappoarunces, is entirely unromunerative exoopt aa its productiveness ispromotod by artifi- VIU1 lOrilMIillMUQ, A fow words about tho quality and value of this land fur cultivation, of which we havo strong proof. Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Frank lin township, Ulonoester county; who purchased some eight miles north of Millvillo, about three yoarsago. for the purpose of ostablishinga ateam mill to work up the timier Into lumbar, to send off by the new railroad, as well aa firewood and coal, for which he built a branch trackamilo and a half long, ueaiso lurmsned sixteen miles of the road Willi ties, and nas no doubt made the mill profita ble, though hia main object was to open a farm, having become convinced that the soil was valuable for cultivation. In this he has not been disappointed, ao some of hisorops prove. For instance, im. jHiuonuuuu uuitj vi uropping, oun nushols of potatoes os ono acre, worth 00 cents a bushel in tho field.

The fertilisers applied to these crops; were first, ashea from clearings; aecond 225 pounds anpsr-phoaphate of lime; third 100 pounds Peruvian guano; then 60 bushels of slaked lime has been sproad uyuu luvuittigiauiua ii. nua moweu, ana turned in for wheat. Mr- Wilson'a growing crops, and the wheat stubble. of the present season, all indicate hia land aa being productive aa any part of the State. At Mary Barrow'a, an old style Jersey womaa farmer, several miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we were ao particularly atruck with the fine appearance of a field of oarn, that we stopped to Inquire of a hired man how it was produced. We found that the lane had been the year but one before in wheat, aown with olover, and this cut one season, and last spring plowed once with 'one poor old nag' and planted withoorn. Ii ea, 'utyou manured high, we auppose? we said interrogatively, and got this reply-Waal, you see, we couldn't a done that, because we hadn't but forty one-horse loads altogether, for 23 acres, and we wanted the most on it for the truck." The truok consisted of beets,oarrots, cabbage, cn-jumbers, melons, Ac, and a vory productive patch t Lima Beans, grown for markotina. So we were utlsfied that the soil was not infertile, even unaided by olover, which had fed tho oorn, b eoause the truok patch had not been olovored, and had boon in cultivation long onough to obliterate all signs of the forest' Our next visit was to the fnrm of Androw Sharp fire miles north of Millville, from half to a mile oust of the railroad, and just about in the centre of Vinoland. Mr. Sharp oommonood work hero in Docember, 1858, upon 270 acres. In less than three years he has fot 231 acres cleared and in orops this soason, all well inclosed and divided into several fields, with cedar rail or pole fonce; has built a t wo story dwelling, about 36 by 40 foot, and a smaller house for farm laborera, and a stable or granary and some other outbuildings. Considerable part of the land was cleared for the plow at $9 per acre, and on some of it the first orop wasbjokwheat, limod with 60 bushels in powder per acre. This orop may bo nut in Julv 4th to 2nth and yields 20 to 30 bushels per aoro, harvosted in November; when the land boing sowed with 150 lbs of Poruvian guano and seeded with rye,yio!ded 12 w uusneis per aoro ana ijiu worm of straw. The ryo stubble turned, aftor knocking off alurira growth of oak sprouts, and drossed again with guano and soeuod to wheat, gave 15 t 10 bunhe! j. The orop which ho was threshing whilo wo were tnero promises more, or a very plump grain, and the straw is very hoavy. We wont over the stubblo. and found the nWni- and timothy from eecd sowed last spring, on tho wheat without harrowing, looking as well aa wn evor saw it uiion apy old cultivated farm, and with a little work done in the winter to cloar off somo roots and rotten stumps, and setting stakes to mark pormanentonos, ho will be able to cut the orop the next year with a mowing machine, and we will guarantee two tons per aoro, if he will give the over plus il ii uvurruua luu esuuiatc. i'art of the land was planted with potatoes for a first crop, which yielded 120 bushels per acre. It was then limed with 60 bushe per acre, and seal ed with wheat and clover, yielding an averogo of over 15 bushols per acre, and tho clover now looks Deautuui. Othor portions havo been plantod with corn na a first orop, which yieldod 30 bushels of vellnir Hint corn, ana mo second orop orty bushols, ana the third crop, troatod 150 bs of guano, we arosnro no one would cstimoto boiow 40 bushols per acre The reader will rceolleot that the writer is now spoaking of land eniirely new, and which can scarcoly be considered in good arable condition. In other cases tho corn crop t)f lost vcar was fol lowed with oats this season, not yet thrashod, but win average pr-onoiy u to ou ousneis. Sweet potatoes, beans, melonsand in foot nil garden vegetables, aa well as young peach and other fruit trees planted this year show very plainly that this long aeglcoted tract of land should remain so no longer, and there is now a strong probability that it will not; for under the auspices of Mr. Landis, it will be divided into small lots, with roads located to accommodate all tho surveyor is now busy at this work, .and all purchasers will be required to build neat oomfortablo houses, and eithor fence thoir lota in uniformity, or ngroo to live without fonce, which would be preferable, by which moans a good population will be seeured, who will establish churches, schools, stores-mills, meshanio shops and homes homes of American farmer, suriounded by gardens, orchards, fields and comforts ef civil ised life. If any one, from any derangement of business, is desirous of changing his pursuits of life, or who is from any cause desirous to find a new location and cheap home in the oountry, aud who may road and believe what we have truly stated, he willdowoll to go and seo for himself what may be aeon within a two houjs' rldo out of Philadelphia.

It app' ars that a piece of cloth has been manufactured of a common plant, which crows wild in the Gelds, and which will be exhibited to a commission composed of manufacturers. The discovery has been communicated to the Emperor, who takes great interest in its success. An Amoiloan Illustration. (From the Philadelphia Osteite. ) In the midst of the details of the glor'ous naval victory at m-mphis, an odd circumstance is found narrated which is to good to be lost sight of. The steamer Platte tr. tlI J . .i r.. . v auey uua smr.eu iroin at. Louis on a trading voyage down the river. She s opped at all the accustomed points us usual, down to Fort pillow, where she found that (lie fhtilla had gone to attack Memphis, and so followed in its wake to to have the opportunity of opening the Grit regular trade at Memphis. The story is t!.us told by the officers of the vessel: "As we came in Bight of Memphis, the cannonading was going on in fr.mt of (he city, and as nothing but the gunboats preceded us, we concluded (hat discretion was (he better part of valor, and rounded to at the point above town, anxiously a waiting for somothirg. to (urn up. Ia half an hour the fireing ceased, and the transports bad come along in the me n-time, we btill in their wake, and all of us slowly dropped down to the levee. The waving of many flao-P and the strains of martial music waited over the river from the transports loaded with troops, tho t'.ous ands of men, women and children thatlined the levee, the cotton yard and the house tcps, the little tugs flitting about from t learner to Bteamer, the aunb:ats s'owlv moving into position abreast o( the city, as tney returneu irom tne pursuit of the ene my, formed such a piciure as ia seldom ever seen, and never to be forgotten. "At the leeve we found the following steamers, sumo of them with C. A. 8. on their wheel houses: H. It. W, Hill, Nation al, Kentucky, Victoria, Acadia, and Sove reign. We landed along with the b.dance of the fleet, and in less than fifteen minuti s after the fight we had our stajje plank rut reaay lor business.. ' Ibere, if that is not a nrettv sham ex hibiton of American enterprise, we do not Know wtiat can be. The same mail whi h brought us tbe full accounts of the battle also brought St. Louis papers containing uumeroua auverusemems 01 steamers bound for Memphis and all other points on tne river, ihus the commerce of the Mis sissippi is resuming its old channel. A touching Soeno. The Philadelphia Inquirer gives the following as an incident occurring at Fortress Monroe on the arrival of the wounded from the ate Richmond battles: Amoiig those brought to the White House was a rebel colonel who had been shot through the lungs. As he appeared to be dying, Mr. Barclay asked him if he wished anything done. He snys "Yes," and o-av , rtio commissioner tuc uamcj aud address of bis wife and children. "And now," says he ,:ask God to forgive mo kr ever having anything to do with this wicked rebellion." Mr. Barclay nske I if he de-sird him to pray with him. He answer-ed in the affirmative, and after a prayer, petitioning the forgiveness of AlmigLty God for hia sins and His Fatherly inter-position on behalf of the soon-to-be wid-owed wife ani'. orphaned children, the penitent Carolinan raised Lis trembling arms and threw them about tbe neck of Mr. Bar clay, and kissed him again and again. The bystanders were all in tears as they turned Irom the affecting scene and walk ed silcnily away, Ingenuity of Prisona.s. Our Federal prisoners, who bave been recently released from durance vile, were deprived of a 1 means of obtaining money. Funds were sent to them by their friends, but Confederate rascality opened their let. ters and appr priated the cotents. This was more than human nature could stand and thei ingenuity was set at work to remedy the w nt. This was effected by taking a five cent shinplaster in which these parts so greatly abound placing it over paper, holding it up to the window, aud thus transferring them, altering the fives to fifty, and in this way they succeeded in passing off about $3,000 worth of this worthless trash among the rebels and their officers.Another item of interest connected wiih them is the manufacture of bono jswelrv, With true Yankee characteristic, they seized ravenously on the bones contained in their horse and mule meat, and salt junk rations and carved out rings, ttillettoes, crochet needles, pen holders, numerals, bosom piua. etc., with some beautiful devices and elaborately carved. They have thus manufactured and sold to our boys on their release about $5, 000, worth of bone jewelry. Newberne Progress. Memphis, June 17 (via Cairo:) The shipments North up to to-day have been as follows: Cotton 3,000 bales; molassess 6,000 barrels and 3,000 half barrels-sugar 6,100 barrels. There was muoh coming in yesterday. The first day the pest-office was opened tho citizens mailed a thousand lettcs, mostly on business to Northern cities, aud bought $300 worth of postage stamps. There were upwards of 100 applications for post office clerkships, includiug the cntin force under the confederate rul .

Correspondence Cleveland Leader. Our correspondent "Mack" has sent us .the Memphis Avalanche of the 2th ult., found in the l'ostf.flloo at Corinth, whera the aforesaid '-Mack'' now tabernacles. He calls our attention to the mode of doing things among tbe robels, as given below by the Avalanche', correspondent, and speaks of Farris, (a Kons tuckian) as one of the bravest of meo, and who bad been serving as a guido in the Union army, Tbe rohol correspondent says: Another soldier waa yesterday shot for des.rtioo.

On the day previous (Wednesday) I saw another suffer the same fate -a spy named Coon Farris, from Faris or Piducau, Tuna A more stoical death I never witnessei. A ne roue along upon a rudo cart, seated upon . box which was to be his future bed, he acted as indifferent as il he wero a sped atoi and not tho object of the terriblo preparations Whon the vehicle stopped, he jumped lightly out and waited lor the removal of the coffin. This being dono, he walked carelessly to tree twenty feet distant; tbe coffin was placed under it, bis handcuff were unlocked, and fur a moment be engaged in conversation with the officer attending him, Not a sign of trepridation was visible. The keen blaek eye was as bud and unwavering as evor and neither cheek blanched nor muscle quiv red. His interview terminated! the last words of which; as I was informed, were. 'I die an hoas t end aa inuoajat nun!" he 'jjli his so.it' uij a the ooffi 1, his coat was buttoned across his breast; arms pinioned. Irom behind; eyes bandaged and of his own accoid ho leaned back against the tree. Such was the impuiurtable sell possess on of the mau, however, that he was even then shut out from the world for the last time, with only a moment bridging the interval between time and eternity, he took the pains to make himself comfortab e by moving his head from sido to sir'e, on tho rough tree that it might rest easilv upon the rough ridges of the baik. The gu rd was then ordered forward three paces, so that but ten steps separated them from the culprit. The officer took his plaoi at their right, and in a low ton? gave the or der, "take aim" a few Beeondsj ausj-"fhe! ' A (plash of brains, a sudden start, a dropping 01 tbe jaw, ana an was over. Tne spy bas paid the forfeit of bis hie for his crime, and lbe majesty of the Military law was vindica ted. Closing a Controversy. The Hoube yestetd iy c incurred in the Senate's amendment (purely verbal) to the bill prohibiting Slavery lor ever in all Terri'ories of tbe United Slates. As now fully passed, the bill reads: "To tbe end that Fieedom may be and remain iorever the fundamental law of he land in all places whatsoever, so fir as it lies within the power or depends upon the action of the Government of tbe United States to make it so, therefore, "Be it enacted, &s., Tbat from and after the passage of this ict there shall be neither Slavery nor involuntarily servitude in any of the United States now existing, or which may at any time hereafter be fo. m ed or acquired by tho United State a, otherwise than in punishment of erimes where-tf the party shall have been duly convio ted." This bill needs only tbe signature of the President which it will not need long to make it the law of the Land. It is not often that so much of that righteousness which "exalteth a nation" is embodied in a legislative act.
