OF THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, cron rns VINELAND SETTLEMENT t-fThe following is an extract from the report of Solon Robinson, Esq., published in the New York Tribune, It referenoo to Vineland. All per-aons can read this report with interest. Advantages of Fat ming near Home Vine-land Remarks npon Marl Soil, its great Fertility The Cause of Fertility Amount of Crops Produced Practical Evidence. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farniin; that we know of this side of the western prairies. We found lotas of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive aa when, first cleared of forest fifty r a hundred years ago Tho geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substanoes, generally In the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of aneicnt sbolls, of the tortia-' ry forination'.and this marly substance is Mattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, . and In the exact oondition most easily assimilated ( by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate. I Marl in all its forms, has been used to fertilise crops in England, from the time it was occupied by i the Romans; and in France and Germany a marl '-. bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the Sold. Hew much more valuable thon It must be, when found already mixed through the soil where new : tnrticlei will be turned np and exposed, and trans-' or a 6d to the owners use every time he stirs tie I arih. - BaTUztuiautk&td our a fib of the caae,tiy will not bo excited with wonder nt seeing iudub-ltahle evidence ot fertility in a soil which in other situations, hnvi.tg tho same general characteristic or at least appoaraiicos, is entirely unrciniiiierativo except as iu productiveness is promoted by artificial fertilisation. A few words about tho quality and value of this land for cultivation, of which wo hava strung proof. Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklin township, Gloucester county; who purchased soiuo eight miles north of Millville, about thrco yours ajo, fur the purpose of establishing a ,., mill to work up tho tim. or into lumbar, to send off oy i no new murium, as won us nrcwood and ooal, for which he bu .It a branch track a mile and a half long. Ho also furnished sixteen miles of tho road with tios, and has no doubt mado tho mill profltn-bio, though his main object was to open a farm having become convinced that the soil was valuable for cultivation. In this be has not boon disnp- fiointod, no some of his crops prove For instanco ast year, the second time of cropping, UOrt bushels of potatoes os one acre, worth 00 cents a bushel in tho field. This yonr sovon acres irltnuut any manure produced 360 bushols of oats. In ono flnl.l tho first crop was potatoos planted among the roots I and yielded 75 bushels. The potatoes wore duo- ' ...I l,t onu,,l nnA ..I.I.I...I lit . -"" j.uiuou w iHiuieis; ana tho stubblo turned and sown to buckwhoat, which yield od bushels; und then the ground was sown to clovor nnd timothy, which gavo as a first crop 2li tons por acre. The furtiliiors applied to these crops; woro first, ashes from clearings; second 22S pounds superphosphate of lime; third '(00 pounds Peruvian gu-auo; then 60 bushols of slaked lima has been spread npon the clover since it was mowed, and turned in for wheat. Mr- Wilson's growing crops, nnd tho wheat stubblo of tho present season, all indicate his land as being productive as any part of tho Stato. At S lary Barrow's, an old stylo Jorsoy woman farmer, several niilos south of Mr. Wilson's, we woro so particularly struck with tho fine appearance of a field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of a hired man how it was produced. Wo found that the lano had boon the year but one bofore in wheat, sown with o lover, and this cut ono season, and last spring plowed onco with 'ono poor old nag' and planted with corn. 1 es, '.ntyoa manured high, we suppose? wo said interrogatively, and got this reply Waal, yon seo, wo couldn't a done that, booauso wohadu'tbut forty one-horse load! altogether, for 23 acres, and wo wanted tho most on it for the truck." Tho truck consisted of beota,carrots, oabbago, cu-jiiinhors, melons, Ac, and a very productive patch jf Lima Boans. grown for marketing. Ho we were satisfied that the soil was not infertile, ovon unaided by clovor, which had fed tho corn, beoauso tho truck patch had not bocn clnvorod.and had boon in cultivation longcnough to oblitorateall signs of tho forest1 Our noxt visit was to tho farm of Androw Sharp five miles north of Millville, from half to a mile east of tho railroad, and just about in the contre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp oommcnocd work horo in December, 185S, upon 270 acres. In less than threo years ho has it 234 aorcs cleared and in crops this season, nil well inclosed and divided into sovoral fields, with eedar rail or pole fonoo; has built a t wo story dwelling, about 36 by 40 foet, and a smaller housofor farm laborers, and a stable or granary and some other outbuildings. Considerable part of the land was elenred for tho plow at $!) por acre, and on some of it tho first crop was b ickwhoat, limed with 50 bushols in powdor per aoro. This crop may bo put in July 4th to 20th nnd yields 20 to 30 bushols per aero, harvested in November; whon the land boing dowed with 150 lbs ofl'oruvian guano and seeded with ryo, yielded 12 to 15 bushels per acre 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 U 10 bushels. The crop which ho was threshing while wo wore there proinisos more, of a vory plump grain,, and tho straw is vory hoavy. Wo wont over tho stubblo, nnd found tho olover nnd timothy from scod sowed last spring, on tho whoat withoui harrowing, looking as well as we ever saw it u,ion any old cultivated farm, and with a little work done in tho winter to clear off some roots cud rotten stumps, and sotting stakes to mark pormanont ones, ho will bo ablo to cut the crop tho next year with a mowing machine, and wo will guarantee two tons por aoro, if he will give the ovor plus if it overruns tho estimate. Part of tho land was planted with potatoos for a first crop, which yielded 120 bushels per acre. It wns then limod with 50 busho per acre, and seed-od with wheat and olover, yielding an average of ovor lo bushels per acre, and tho clovor nowlm.lr. bciiutit'ul. Other portions have boon planted with corn as a first crop, which yielded 30 bushels of vollnw n;,,t corn, ami iuo seconu .j'opurty bushels, ami the third crop, treated 750 ;bs of guano, wo are sure no ono would cstiun. to bol ..w 40 bushels per acre. Tho roudorwill recollect that the writer is now speaking of land ontirely now, and which oan searcoly be considered ingoodarablo condition. en. In othor cases tho corn eron of last vcar was fYt. lowed with oats this season, not yet thrashed, but will avorngo pr-bably 40 to 50 bushels. Sweet po- latuus, uvu;sf iiiuiuiiB uiiu in luui 1111 garuon vogota-bles, as well as young poach and other fruit trees planted this year show vory plai ,ly that this long leglected tract of land should remain so no longer, and thero is now a strong probability that it will not; 101 unuor tne auspices ot Mr. Land is, It will be divided into small lots, with roads looated to accommodate all the surveyor is now busy at this work.. and all purchasers will be required to build neat comfortable houses, and either fonce their lots in uniformity, or agreo to live without fence, numu woum oe preicrnDie, ny wmcn means a good population will be secured, who will establish churches, sohools, stores-mills, meshanio shops and homes homes of American farmors, suriounded by gardens, orchards, fields and comforts of oivil iscd life. If any one, from any derangement of businoss, is desirous of changing his pursuits of lifo, or who is from any cause desirous to find a new location and cheap home in the country, aud who may rood and boliove what we have truly stated, he willdowoll to go and 803 for himself what uiuy be seen within a twohouas' rldo out of Philadelphia.

As a general thing the mcrhaais of this State cherish nothing bul the kindest feelings toward their old friends in the Norh, with whom they have dealt so long, nnd it is Iheir earnest desiro to resume business and renew Iheir former acquaintance wi h thoso who have her tfore placed so rauch con- fidenceia their integiitj.

One of the leading citizens of this gt ite remarked to me th - other day that tbe merchants in vv0n street, paying eucu high prio b for North Caiolina Blocks, hid coutubuted much toward aiding this State in her resolution to injure her good financ al name. It made ti e Old Norlh proud to see that tlnir stocks, duiinjj tho darkest days ol the rebellion s ood high, r in Vt-w York than of any other Southern S'.at. Rest assured she will never dishonor any of her obligations in any par-licular.Wer it prudent I might mention the names of many merchants in the interior who have the cash on hand ready to hand over to their Northern creditors aa soon a an opportunity offers. One gentleman ia this city, fi. D. Jones, who has berstfbra been engagid in the fish packin- business very extensively, and whose bill for twine, ropes, salt, die, amounted to large sums, has, I learn, informed his Northern creditors thrt their money is now ready for ihem, and lhat he will resume business again. Seven regiments of Norlh Carolina troop3 haye recently disbanded, among which is the lltb, that as engaged in tho Be'hel battle, and many mo.e on the evo of doing tho same thing.
