By looking over a map tho render will porooive that it enjoys the best market in the Union, and has diroot communication with New York and Philadelphia twico a day, being only thirty-two milos from the latter. Produco in this market brings double tho prico that it doos in locations distant from the oities. In thKloootion it can bo put into market th same morning it is fgathcrcd, and for what the farraor soils ho gota the highest prico: whilst grocorios and other articles ho pur-ohascs he gots at the lowest price. In the Wost, what ho sells brings him a pittance, but for what he buys he pnys two pricos.

Iu one field, the first orop was potatoes planted among the roots and yielded 73 bushels. The potatoes were duir. and wheat sowd, and yielded 10 bushels; and tho stubble turned and sown to buckwheat, which viehl ed 33 bushels; nnd then the ground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a flr.n crop 2-i kjii pur uuio. lue lortuisors applied to tneso crops: woro first. ashes f rem cloaringsj second 225 pounds superphosphate of limo; third 200 pounds Peruvian guano; then SO bushels of slaked lime has boen spread npon the olover since it was mowod, and turnod in for wheat. Mr- Wilson's crowing orops, ami tho wheat stub. blo.of tho presont season, all indicate hia land as boing productive as any part of the Mtnto. At Mary Harrow's, an old stylo Jersov woman farmer, several milos south of Mr. Wilson's, wo were so particularly struck with the fine appenr-ance of a field of corn, 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, sown with clover, and this cut ono season, and last spring plowed once with 'one poor old nag' and planted with corn. 1 es, tut you manured high, wo suppose? we said interrogatively, and got this reply Waal, you see, wo couldn't a dono that, because wo hadn't but forty one-horse loads altogether, for 28 acres, and wo wanted the most on it for tho truck." The truck consisted of beets,carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, melons, Ac, and a very productive patch of Lima Boans. grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that the soil was not infertile, even unuid-od by clover, which had fed the oorn, because the truck patch had not boen clovored, and bad been in cultivation long enough to obliterate all signs of the forest- Our noxt visit was to the farm of Andrew Sharp five miles north of Millville, from half to a mile east of the railroad, and just about in th. eontro of Vincland. Mr. Sharp commenced work here in December, 1858, upon 270 acres. In less than three years be has (,'ot 2ii aoros cleared and in crops this season, nil woll inclosed and divided into soveral fields, with oedarrail or polefonoe; has built a two story dwelling, about 3d by 40 feet, and a emallor house for farm laborers, and a stable or granary and some othor outbuildings. Considerable part of tho land was cleared for the plow at $9por acre, and on some of it thofirst crop wasbackwhoat, limed with 50 bushels in powdor per aero. This orop may bo put in July 4th to 20th and yields 20 o 30 bushels per acre, harvested In Novombor ; whon the land being sowed with 150 lbs of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12 to 15 bushels per aore and $10 worth of straw. Tho rye stubble turned, after knocking off a large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano and seeded to wheat, gave 15 t. Id bushels. The crop which he was threshing while we were thero promises more, of a very plump grain, and tho straw is very heavy. We wont over the stubble, and found tho olover and timothy from sood sowed last spring, on the whoat without harrowing, looking as well as wo ever saw i t upon any old cultivated farm, and with a littlo work done in tho wintor to clear off some roots and rotton stumps, nnd sotting stakes 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 aore, if ho will give the over plus if it overruns the estimate. Part of the land was planted with pnratnc for first crop, whioh yielded 12(1 hnslu Is vr ai rf. I. was then limed with 50 bushel per uuru, uud seeded with whoat and clover, yielding an average of over 15 bushols per aero, and tho olover now looks beautiful. Other portions hnvo boon planted with corn asa first crop, which yielded 30 bushols of yollow flint corn, and tue socond crop -,ony bushols, nna the third crop, treated to 150 jbs of guano, we are sure no ono would estiinoto bol ow 40 bushols per aore. The reader will recollect that the writer is now speaking of land entirely new, and which can scarcely be considered in good arable condition. En. In othor eases the corn orop of last year waa followed with oats this season, not yet thrashed, but will average probably 40 to 50 bushels. Sweet potatoes, boans, molonsand in fact nil garden vegetables, aa woll aa young poach and othor fruit trees planted this year show very plainly that this long legloetod tract of land should remain so no longer, and thoro is now a strong probability that it will not; for undor tho nuspioea of Mr. Landis, it will be divided into small lots, with roada located to ao-oommodate all the aurveyor is now busy at this work, .and all purchasers will b. required to build neat comfortable housos, and either fenco their lots in uniformity, or agree to live without fence, which would be preferable, by which means a good population will be secured, who will establish churches, schools, stores' mills, meshanio shops and homes homos of American farmers, surioundod by gardona, orchards, fields and ooaiforta of civil ised life. If any ono, from any derangement of businees, is desirous of changing his pursuits of lifo, or who ia from any eanae desirous to find a new location and cheap home in the country, aud who may read and believe what we have truly stated, bo will do well to go and see for himself what may be seen within a twohouis' rldo out of Philadelphia.

The published statement that Secretary Chase was in Philadelphia consulting with ex-Secretary Cn moron in relation to a defalcation in tbe War Department, is erroneous in three particulars, namely: Secretary Chase has not been in Philadelphia lately; he has not consulted with Gen.

Did we not know and implicitly trust tbe skill, tbo combinations and indomitable valor ol our Generals and troops now erecting works of attack at Yurktown, we might be appalled at tbe number, strength and relative position of the rebel dofences. They consist of three principal lines. First From Y oiklown to Williamsburg along tbe turnpike, are six detached works flanking each other along tbo whole lino, and mounting two hundred and forty guns. Bo-hind these are the great encampments sf the troops in four grand ercampments of tho weaern extremity General Magruder has tbe headquarters of the rebl reserve at Wil" liamsburg. This line corstitutes the last ditch of rebel rom .nee. Large numbers of t .,t. r Urge numbers of i a , . . ... negroes have been drafted to make it deep ... ... . . at Williamsburg. Second In front of this, within rango of its guns, is tbe second line of works, covering Yorktown on the east, and diverging slightly from the first line as it proceeds to the James river. Here on this 1 ne, there are one hundred and twenty guns. This line it particularly intricate and strong, and has double outworks on the West behind Skiff's Creek. These works command tho third lins with their guns should that bs taken.Finally the third or outer line extends protuberant in (he centre from the mouth of Skiff's creek acress the upcer rmrt of Wormsley.s creek, crossing as it passes, Warwick's creek, which is thoroughly defended, nd was the scene of the last battle. Water communication is supplied to the ditches of the wcrks on the creek, so that tbey may be suddenly filled in case of an attack. To a direct attack in front these de fences are, though not impregnable, very strong and difficult, forming as they do, a web of fire over a space of at least fire miles square. But we have already suggested that tho rebols are placing vain and cowardly dependence upon shelter rather than upon manhood, aud that this must rob them of their morale. It is a wise Injunction that we should possess our souls In patience. The plans for tbe reduction of Yorktown cannot be published at present, but when tho day of onset comes we shall be astonished at tho now unknown elomoots which shall enter into tbe contest There may be Malakoffs to storm, but when the storming time comes there will bs no north side upon which tho rebels can retreat" Whatever be the prosent aspect ef York- town, of the rebels stay thore tncy will bs hemtnsd in. surrounded and cut off.
