Advantages of Fai ming near Home Vine-land Remarks upon Marl Soil, its great Fertility The Cause of Fertility Amount ol Crops Produced Practioal Evidence. Uncertainly one of tho most extensive fertile traetB. in an almost lovol position, and suitable oonditlan for ploasant farming that wo know of this side Iff the western prairies. Wo found soma of the o'.est farms apparently just as profitably rodiictve as when first oloared of forest fifty er a irw.-ed years ago The geologist would soon discover tho cause of this continned fertility. The whole countrv is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidoncos of calcareous substances, generally In the form or Indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinet forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation: and this marly substanco is scattered nil through the snil, in a very enmrninnted form, and In the exact condition most easily assimilated by snob plants as the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl in all its forms. hs seen used to fertilize crops in England , from the time it was occupied by tne Komans; and In r ranee and Uormany a marl bed Is counted on as a valuable bed of manuro.that pan be dug and carted and spread over the field. will not bo exolted with wonder at seeing Indub-itablo evidence of fertility In a soil which In other situations, havl.ig tho same gonoral characteristic! oral least appearances, is entiroly nnromunorative i , . its productiveness ispromotod by artifl- . v. I,,,,. HUH, A few words about the quality and value of this land for cultivation, of which wo havo stron proof. 8 Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklin township, Gloucester oountyi who purchased aoino oight milos north of Millvillo, about throo yoarsago, for the purnoso of establishing ...... mill to work up tho tiimer into lumbar, to send off uy uiunewruuroaa, as wen as tlrewood and ooal for which ho budta branch track a mile and a hall' long. Ho also furnished sixtooii miles of the road with ties, and has no doubt niuda tho mill profitable, though his main object was to open a farm having become convinced that tho soil was valuable for cultivation. In this ho has not boon disappointed, no some of hisorops provo. For instance, last year, tho Boeond tirao of cropping, 300 bushels of potatoos os ono aoro, worth 00 cents a busliol In tho field. This yoor sovon acres itnout any ma-nuro prodneed 300 bushuls o! oats. In ono field, tho first erop was potatoos planted among the roots' and yielded 75 bu.ihols. Tho potatoes ind. and whoat sowd, and yielded 10 bushels; nnd the smuoio uirnoa ana sown to bucKwhoat, which yield ed 33 bushels; and thon tho around w.i t clover nnd timothy, which gave as a first crop 2i Tho fertilisers applied to thoso crnTIS! vnrn Cat nshos from clearings; socond 225 peunds super-phosphato of limo; third !00 pounds Peruvian guano; thon 50 bushols of slaked limo has boon spread npon the clover since it was mowod,and turnodin for Wheat. Mr Wilson's growing crops, and tho whoatstubble- of tho prosont season, all indicate his land as bolngproduotivo as any part of tho Stato. At Mary Barrow's, an old stylo Joraoy woman farmer, scvoral miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we were no particularly struoK. with the fine nppoar-anco of a field of oorn, that wo stopped to inquiro of a hired man how it was produced. Wo found that the lane had boon tho yoar but ono beforo in wheat, sown with clover, and this cut ono season, and last spring plowod onco with 'one poor old nag' and planted with corn. les, utyou manured high, we suppose? wo said interrogatively, and got this roply Waal, you see, wo couldn't a done that, because we hadn't but forty ouo-horso load) altogether, for 28 acres, and we wanted tho most on it for the truck." Tho truck oonsistod of boots.carrots, cabbogo, ou-jurabors, melons, &c, and a very productive patch jf Luna Hoans. grown for marketing. Ho wo woro satisfied that tho soil was not infertile, oven unaided by clover, which had fed tho corn, becauso tho truck patch had not boon elovored,and had boon in culti vation long onough to obliterate all signs of the forest- ... .- , Our next visit was to tho farm of Androw Sharp fivo miles north of Millvillo, from half to a inilo oast of tho railroad, and just about in tho oentro of Vineland. Mr. Sharp oommonoed work hero in Decombor, 1858, upon 270 acros. In less than throo yours ho has t-ot 234 aoros cleared and in crops this season, all well inclosed and divided into soveral Holds, with cedarrail or polofenoe; has built a two story dwelling, about 36 by 40 foot, and a smallor iiuuao uir uirui laoorors, and a stablo or granary and somo othor outbuildings. . . Considerable part of tho land was cloarcd for the plow at $9 per aoro, and on some of it the first crop was bjokwhoat, limed with 60 bushols In powder per acre.

SOLON ROBINSON. A Graphic. Description of tho Chargo of Genorui Smith's Division. A correspondent of the Now York Herald gives the following graphic description of the chargo of Gon. Smith's division at tho battlo of Fort Donolson. Tho correspondent nays: Capt. Hillycr started olTtoflnd Gen; Grant, who had not been on the fluid siuco half past four o'clock in the morning It was now noar noon. Ilillyer met the Genoral coming back from tho transports, and communicatod to hiiu the fact that McOlornand had boon at-tackod, and compelled to fall back, but had rallied ard regained his position. Gon. Grant immediately rods upon the field it being thon hall past ono o'clock and thors learned the status of the array. A body of from ten to twelve thousand of the enomy had cut through our right fhnk, and oscaped. This was ino attack upon McClernand. A galling firo was being kept up upon our left and centre from hoavy siege and field artillery, and our forces wore boing fast decimated. To remain in this position would surely prove our ruin; to fall buck out of range of the enemy's guns would demoralize the armv; and no alternative was left them but to hazard everything upon a united chargo upon the whole enemy's works. The officers clamored and tbo men were impatient to make tho assault, still- Iho General hesitated, and it was not until half past two that the order to assault the works was given. Then Captain Ilillyer rode down to General Smith to com municate the order, when the old General's visage gleamed with a new light. Slid Capt1 Ilillyer: "Gonoral Smith, General Grant ordors you to assault ond take tho onomy's works in your front, at all hazards." "Bet'cr late than never," said Smith; "but I'll do itl Tell Ge eral Grant I'll do it" And turning to his men he said; '.'Soldiers wo are ordered to tako those works by assault. Are you ready?" "Aye, aye; sir, ready! Hurrah!" And a shout came from that phalanx of brave men, such as comes only from patriots upon great occasions. "Ready! Close ranks! Charge bayonots! Forward! Double ouickl March!" And march thoy did in close order, the advancing brigado looking more like a bluo porcupine, wild i'a Tni": tn-i il f.irtvird, than ntijjlv dUu 1 o.u compare it to, right up to the rebel works. Though tho enomy kept tip an in cessant firo from howitzor, flald-pioco and musket, of shells, solid shot and lead, still that brigade marched on, nothing daunted, to tne enemy's earthwork', which roached, over it it went, right into tho raidHof the butternut colored devils who had so savagoly welcomed them inside the entrenchments. When tho bluo coats appeared insido the breastworks, tho old veteran, Charles F. Smith, at their head, brandishing his sword and looking for all tho world liks a doion regiments of regulars boiled down and quintn csccncod into one man, tho rebels took to their heels aid left for tho next lino of entrenchments as though tho devil or some othor justice of tho peaco was alter them with a warrant for treason. Our boys flrd one volley after them as they retreated, then planted the stars and stripe? upon the walls, gave throe times three choers when it swelled to tne breeze and settled down for further ordors. Tbhj was tbo turning point of tho fight. When it was discovered that tho national ensign had been planted within tho enemy's entrenchments, Captains Ilillyer and Itawlmgs rode along the lines, and waving their swords, announced It to tho despondent troops of McCIernand's and Wallace's divis ions, who gained now courago and rallied to the assault upon th.a right. Then a charge was made all along the enemy's front. lie was forced to l is earthworks, leaving the opon fMd ,to our troops and securing to us an easy victory on tho morrow. JAMES BLANCIIATID.
