OF THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, cros tn VINELAND SETTLEMENT JVThe following ll an extract from the report of Solon Rbinson, Esq., published In the new York Tribune, I". roferenee to Vineland. All per-sons ean read this report with interest. Advant!s of Fai roinp near Ilnme Vine-land Remarks opnn Marl Soil, its great Forlili'v The Came of Fertility Ammnt'of Crops Produced Practical Evidence. Uncertainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, In an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farmlnj that wo know of this side of the western prairies. We found sons of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive at when Irst cleared of forest fifty er a hundred years ago The geologist would soon discover the eame of this continued fertility. The whole country Is a marine depoeit, and alt through the soil we found evidences nf eateareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation! and this marly substnee 18 scattered all through the Soil, tn a very eommlnulod form, and in the exaot condition most easily assiinilatod by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl in all ite forms, has teen used to fertilise crops in England, from the time it waa occupied by the Romans) end in France and Germany a marl bed ta eounted on a a valuable bed of mannre.that yhn be dug and carted nnd spread over the field. Jlow mteh more valuable then It most be, when found Already mixed through the sell where new particle will be turned up and exposed, and trans-i arm' the owners use every time bestirs Ue , rfb.e . ... .tiering then satisfied our m B-Js of the eagse,they will not be excited with wonder nt seeing indub-ltublo evidence ol fertility In a soil which in nthor situations, having tho saino general characteristics or at toast sppearanoes, is. entirely nnremunoratire except as Itsprouuotivenosa ispromotea Dy ariiu-ciiil fertilization. A few words about tho quality and value of this land for cultivation, of which we have strong proof. Our first visit was to William D. Wilnon, Franklin townjhip, Gloucester oounty; who purohasud some eight miles north nf Millville, about three yoarsago, for the purposo of ettablidhinga steam mill to work up tho tini or into lumbar, to sond off by tneiiew nulrnocl, ns well ad crowned and coal, for which lie bn .It a branch track a milo and a half long. Ho also furnished sixtoen miles of tho rood with tios, and has no doubt mado the mill profitable, though his main ebjcot was to open a farm, having become convinced that tho soil was valuable for cultivation. In this he has not been disappointed, no some of his crops provo. For instance, lust year, the socond timo of cropping, 30(1 bushels of potatoes os one acre, worth GO cents a bushol in tho field. This year sovon acres ritnout any ma-nuro produced 359 bushels of outs. In one field tho first eron was liotatoes nlanted ninnne- the rn,i and yielded 75 bushels. The potatoes were dug, and wheat sowd, and yielded 18 bushels: and tho stubble turned and sown to buckwheat, which yield cd 33 bushels; and then the ground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop Vt tuns por luiro. The fertilisers applied to theso crops; wero first, nshes from eloarings; socond 225 pounds superphosphate of lime: third '200 pounds Peruvian cu- ano; then 50 bushels of slaked liino has boon spread npon me clover einoe it was movrcu, ana turned in for wheat. Mr- Wilson's crowing crops, and tho whoat stubble of tho present soason, all indicate his land as being proJuotiro as any part of the State. At Mary Barrow's, an old style Jorsoy woman farmer, several rnilos south of Mr. Wilson's, wo wore so particularly struck with tho fino appoar-anco of a field of corn, that wo stopped to inquire of a hired man how it was produced. M'e found thnt the lane had boon the year but one before in wheat, sown witholovor, and this cut ono season, and last spring piowedonco with 'one poor old nag' and planted wi'h corn. es, utyou manured high, wo suppose? wo said interrogatively, and got this reply Waal, y.iu sue, wo couldn't a dono that, booause wo hiidn'tb'ii. furty one-horse loadi altogether, for 2d acres, and wo wauted the most on it for the trunk.1' Tho truck O'ln-iistcd of bcots.carrots, cnbbago, cu-Jiunhers, niolous, Ac, and a very productive putoh if Linu It ians. grown for marketing. Ho we wore satisfied that tho soil was not infertile, even unaided by clover, which had fod tho corn, becauso tho truekpalch had not becu clnvored,aiid hadbenn in cultivation long enough to obliterate all signs of the forest- Our next visit was to tho farm of Androw Sharp fivo miles north of Millville, from half to a milo east of the railroad, and just abuut in tho eentio of Vineland. Mr. Sharp oommenoed work hero in Decorabor, 1858, upon 270 noros. In loss than three yeurs bo has t'ot 23i acres cleared and in crops this season, nil wull inclosed and divided into sovoral fields, with cedar rail or polofenee; has built a two story dwelling, about 30 by 40 foot, and a smaller house for farm laborers, and a stablo or granary and some other outbuildings. Considorable part of the land was eleared for the plow at $0por acre, and on some of it tho first crop was b-iokwhaat, limed with 50 bushels in powder per a ro. This orop may bo put In Jul) 4th to 20th and yields 20 to 30 bushola per aero, harvested in November; whon tho land being sowed with 150 lbs of Peruvian guano and seeded with ryo, yioldod 12 to 15 bushels por nero and $10 worth of straw. Tho rye stubblo turned, nftcr knocking off a largo growth of oak sprouts, and drossod nain with guano nnd soeded to whoat, g:ivo 15 to 10 bushels. Tho crop which ho was threshing while wo wcro there promisos mnro, of a vory plump grain, and the straw is very heavy. Wo wont over the stubblo. and found the clovor nnd timothy from seed sowed lost spring, on tho whoat without harrowing, looking as well as we ever saw it u.ion any old cultivated farm, and with a littlo work done in tha winter to rlear off sumo roots nd rotten stumps, and sotting stakes to mark permanent onos, no will oonbie to cut the crop the next year with a mowing machine, and wo will guarantee two tons por aero, if he will give the over plus if it overruns tho ostiinnt". Part of tho land was planted with potatoes for a first crop, which yielded 120 bushels per aero. It was then limod with 50 bushe por acre, and soeded with whoat aud clovor, yivlding an uvorago of over laousuois por acre, ana tao clover now looks bonutiful. Other portions have boen planted withcornnsa first crop, wlnoh yielded 3D bushola of yellow flint corn, and the second croporty -bushels, ana tho third crop, trontod 150 Jus of guano, wearosuro no one would estimate bel iw i bushels nor acre. (The reader will reoollcot that the writer is now soenKing oi n.no: ennreiy new, and which can scarcoly be considered in good arable condition.

Walbridge afti t Fourteen months ago, from this very platform, the c ty of New Yoik, in the presence of s quarter of a million of loyal citizens, declared that elio would not sit tamely by and behold a wicked, reckless, ma ligimnt minority consumate the over hnw and ruin of the only representativtt consti tutional Ooyernment on earth. When she fixed tl-is determintlicn, and announced htr will, eleven rebellious Slates had attempted to sever their c mnection ' ith (he Federal G vernment; hid torn from the forts, arsenals, mannssinps, and harbors withii the limits the banner of the consti-tu'ional Union. This reckless, rampant rea-cn, though long threatened, to tk ihe civiliz d world by surprise1 and, as the conspiiaiors by thousands poured their murderous hail of hot and shell uron that hirsty. half famished gar ison at Ff, Sumter, with its seventy fxhausted but loyal men, they little realized that throughout the w ole Christian world they were c tll-ing silently into exerefco force whol'y beyond huraar. control; forihat man oust be an aithest, or have no soul, who does not realize that since the fjrt event God him- eelf has been mmi'ost in the moral and po liticial phenomena which this great, loyal nation now presents, and ftatermen and ph'losophers and generals will begin to ra--an r ght and act right when they rca'iz; ihi great truth. The establishment of free B8tituiions of this continent toward ame-1 cia'ing the condition of the human race was Eto md to the inauguration of the Christian religion, and their iiisraembermcnt nd ovei throw is reserved orJy to Jehovah hit self.

It is fair to assume, should inteivention fiver come, ihe two Western Powers of France and England will act iu unison, as they did in the Crimean War.and as they have recently 00 c u pdated with 8pain by intent nt-in. with the e internal a IT irs of Mexico. Those two Powers oombmed possess a la-u army. If undistrub-d.in fromeiht to nine montns, by gigantic cffjr.s aud at a vast coast, they might ferry across (he Ailantio Irom 240.000 (0 274 000 soldiers, wi b all thtir armaments and supplies This would.however.be doing far more than what they ere able to do in the Crimean war, though largely aided by Americtn steam transport ships At n time in the year can they in one voyage readi.y transport 100,000 Si ldiers, and the immense amount of necessary arms and supplies. Even if able to shelter their soldiers till the last detachment arrives, and moveto-iri-ilier, some nine or ten months afterho--t liiios should arise they would stand in the p isence of disciplined troops twice as numerous as themselves in the presence ol troops who have fought far more baitles against resolnte troope than themselves a few thousand French troops alone except d. Tbe American troops regiment for regiment :ix months from to-day, will be as well drilled,in better condition and practice, will have seen ra re active service nnd as m ny battles, and will be belter armed, than the regiments to whioh they will stand opposed, and will be more than twice as numerous. Their next means of assault consists in vessels of war numer ous and powerful and in addithn, the biigrsn hive constructed canals from the St. Lawrence into the great chain of American lakes, to enable them to convey gunboats tutu these waters. We have no such connection with the ocean. Iney can transport their gunboats amo iff our com mercial vessels, aud in front ot our interior cities, along a lake coast ol more I an two thousand miles unopposed. We have noth tog absolutely to.hing with which to oppjsu them on these great inland sens, Hut cr contra, we have to day auro nr moie.l vessels genuine ioa clads than both Franca and E:ilaud. That much iood hits co 1 0 out of this evil rebuliioo. In a few wock.' not months we shall be ubletoreaj li j KiglUh, if thiy du.nn l it of us, a new version of the nav-d lesson oflCli.'. Six or eight of our trruortd yes eels can readily d.-stroy the entire unarm-ored ft et of England. We t hall eoou have hfbat iron-elud vessels, armed with cue.

The result will b? to decisive as :o admit of no mistake, if there is any virlue ia ordnance throwing pre j -Ciilcs four limes heavier than any approved gun with whir.h any E igiish or French vesm is now a. mod. Let us examine our meinic of delense. Of course bef -re going into battle; a goluier puts on his aiuior, wt,en a man leaves home he ljcks ihe oors f bis bouse Mo a nation going to war with a n-.val en.-my, will at u eaily day, ca e-lully lock the ra u hsof all ih.sa va'uable baroors, in etJ sju ids and rivjid, wui-:n have uairow entrances, and thus lessen tbe home du lea of the tket, as well as to furnish a place of refuge when disabled by storms or pressed by superior lorce. The mode of obstructing entrances to harbors, to as to elLctually secure them, and yet allow of tbe pasige of a IrienJly snip with but li tie htndra .ee, is pjtnted out with great clearoetg by the Board 01 Engineers in a report mado to the tecio tary ot W r in 1810. The ubs ructton can be created in the entrance to a harbor like that oi Ne York in probbly two or three days, the wholo British navy could not lotcu a passage through tho entrance wt.huut iiivt removing tlitf obsiructiue, and the obstrucion could be removed by ..n in my only nuer 1:10 fencing 01 tin: forts under luu uorcmriud of whose guns it is p! cad. Hiving taken step3 to cuel'ully .-ecuic the most important entrance by t mpoiary obalructioua 1 nd by heavily armed forts, let uh promptly provide an interior water coramunicanon between our -ch ef cities parallel with cur Ailanticcoast and having nutnevoui communications with it at protected points. This has buen frequently recommended by the Board of Engineers as a woik of vast military im ponance In April last the Military Com luittee of Congress, in an able report demonstrated how this object could be speedily and cheaply accomplished, viz: U enlarging ibv locka of three short ca nals of an aggregate 1 ngth f only 78 miles.

Our own sense tells us that if a ship or ships of war or commerce should be blucktded in a harbor, anil thin prevented fr im going to soa tlie evil would be lessened If tha harl or was ounneoted by a safe and UDt-xpoted interior channel, with all the harbors on the coast 'or a ihousa-id miles so also a blockade 0' ona harbor cnnlrj be broken up, by q-iietly concentrating in it a superior 'oroe, drawo Irom the other harbors coni.ected -with it by the interior chin-el. Let us also earnestly request tbe gov-ernmont to aid in opening the communication for our iron gunboa 8 Irom the Mississippi to the Unison, the Delaware and St; Lawrence. Then la l e event ol war, our iron-clai hips from tha West.tbroiuh tbe loyal States, ou d liilrlir oily into the lakes proceed to tbe head , of the ot.

Tbe navijble waters of Csnada secured, this inland fl-et could forthwith repair to the aid of our de eases at the numb ol the Hudson.

(Signed) ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Fellow cit'xens of the House of Repre sentatives I herewith relurn to your honorable body, in which it originated the bill f r annct eniitled an act to suppress (reasrn and rebellion, to seize nnd confiscate the propeity of rebel and frr other purpor es.lo gather with my objections to its becoming a law. There is much ia the bill to whioh I perceive no obj iction. It ii wholly pro spec ive, and touohes neither the per em or property of any loyal citizen, in which particular it U just and propT. Tbe 1st and 8 1 sections provides for conviction and punishment of pe'rso' s who shall be guilty of treason, ana me person wno snail incite, get on foot, assist, or engage in any rebellion or insurrection against tbe author ity of the Un ted Stales, or tbe laws th rc-01, 01 shall give hid or com! rt to any such existing rebellion ot ineurrecikn. By luir construction the petsons within theso seciions are not to ' e pu uished with ou'. regular trial in duly constructed Courts und-.-r the lormn and all the substantial- provisions of law, and of tbe constitution tpplicable to their several cas s. To tbii I perceive no objjo'ion, and especially as such persons would hi within the genual pardoning power, and also wit' in the special provision for pardon and amntsty contained in this act. It also provides that tho slaves of confiscated under these sections tihall be free. I tbiuk thero is an unfor'unate form ol expression rather than a substantial ob" jection to this. It is startling to say that j Congress can free-a slave- within a sets, and yet wo:o it said that tie ownership of tne slave had first been transferred t-the State, and that Congress had iben liberated Lim, the d-ffijul y would vanish, and this is the real case, the traitor agi.ijs iho General Government forfeits bis sUo at least as justly a) I 0 does any other property, aud he loneits both to tha government ngaiu t which ho cU'-n ls. The Governm.'ht, so Uv as there can be ownctship, cvas tt.u torched slaves, ai d the qu-s ion for Congress in regard 10 them is, shall they be mado lice or sold to new masters. 1 see no ol j c ion to Congress deciding in utlvatce that tluy shall be fie:. To the high bomr ot Ken ucky, as I am informed, the has been the owner of some slaves by escheat, and has sold none but 1 berated all' 1 hope the sumo is trua of some other States Indeed I do nut Ulieve it wcu'd be piiyscialiy possible for the Geuiral Gov-eminent ioie.urn persons so circumstanced to uo ual tlavery. I beluve there would be pi y-ical rcsislanco to it which would never be moved asido by argument, or driven away oy force. Ia this view of it I luve no obj.ction to thu Icature of tie aill. Anoihcr matter in tbrse two sections, and running through o.lier p iris of the act, will be notified herua ter. I perceive no objection lo the third and fourth sec i.ms. So f ir as I wish to no. ice tbe filth nnd sixth secti ns they msy be considered together. That the enforcement of this section would do no irjustice to the persons embraced within them is clear. Thnt those wuo make a counsel of war should be compelled to pay the cost of it U too obviously just to be called in question. What I have said in regard lo slaves, while common.in ; on the fi.-st aud second sec lions, ia applicable to the 9 h with thed (Ter ence th t uo provision is nude- ia tile whole act tor dotorm n ng wbedier a particular individual si ive doeo or docs not fill with n the clauiO dufiaed in that s.c ion. He h to be Ireo upon certain conditions, but w lie. her t.iese condition - do or do not por tain to Lim no i;n.lo of asc.-r'.aiiig, is provided th'S could ho easily supplied. To givo government protection to the proporty 01 persons uho have abandoned it ibat sain) government is nb.urd, if considered' in the more light ol justice. 1 ha severest justice ruay not always ho the best policy. The principle ot seizing nnd appcopiiatm.' the property of tke persons embraced with in these sections is certainly not very 00 jeclionaMe, but a justly discriminn ing ap plication ot it wouid be vi ry difficult, and to a great extent impossible Would tl not be wise to place a power of rcnvisioD some w hero so that these persons may know they have something to tave by desert ng lam nit sure whether such power of re mission is or it not within section 13, without a special act of Coi.gress. I think our mihtaiy commanders, when in military p .rase, they are in ihe enemy' country, should, in un ordrly mr.rner seize aud keep whatever ol real and per, sonal property may bo necessary or convenient tor their ''omnuuds. At the tame time lo preserve in some way the tv'dv.uco of what tbey can do To the lO.h sec ion I make n3 objection;; e oath, thorein required seems lobe pro-1 the oath, therein rt quired seems lo be pro per, and ihe remainder ol the sec'ion is substantially identical with a law already existing. The 1 1 h secl'on fcimply assumes to confer discreiionary pwtr upon iho t-motive without the law.- I havn n? h ssita'.i.n to go as far in the tlireciicn iiul caied . h it may at any timo d-cm ex -di-i.it, an I 1 ready to say now, I think it is proper for our military commanders to tmploy as la borers as many persons of Ai'nc.n descent ns can be use I lo advantage. The 12 h and 13 h saotiona are something bet'er, unol jctiinable,and tbe li b is entirely proper, if all o'.her pirts nf the act shall stand Toat to which I chiefly object pervades most parts of the ac', but mori- oirLCtly . ppuars in the 1st, 2 1, 7ih ni 8 h seciions. It is the sum ot those piovi ions which lesull in the divesting of litlu forever. F 1 th t cancer of treason, and the In gredients of treason, but amounting tn full crime, it declares forfeiture extending be- yond the lives of the guilty p inks, where as the Constitution ot tb "Jotted Stales declares that no attainder of treason shall wjrk oorr jption of blood or forfeiture ex cept dining the Ills of ihe person attsint d. True, there is to be no lorm&i attainder in this case; still I ti.ink the greater pun ishment csnnot be constitutionally inQ cted in a diff. renl o m for the eame offence. With great tespect I am constrained to say 1 thick this feature of the act ia uneonsli'u-tional, and it would not bedifflcuU to mod ify it. I nvy remark that ihe provision of the Constitution put in the lanjut 'e borrow ed from Groat Britian, applies in this coun try, as I underst iud, to real or landea estate. Again, this aot, by proceedings in "MM." forfeits proptriy for the ingredients of treason without convictioa of tho sup posed criminal or a personal bearing given bim in any proceeding. That we may n' t touch property lyinz within our reach, be Cause we cannot give personal notioe to a 1 oxrner who fs abj. nt endeavcrinj to destroy tbe Government, iscsttain y not very satisfactory; still the owner may not be thus engaged, atid I think a rtOFOLftblo time thuulil bo provided fnrsuch parlies lo appear ami have a reasonable henrino;. Similar provijions aM dot unoommon in conneouou with proc ;edin s in Rta. For the reason stated I re'urnthe bill to thi House in which it originated. The Building of Monitors at Ohnster, Messrs.

The tnv.n hull i3 tha sum a In orjioar iron ras sols; at.d are miro saitibh for siiling tha" the originial Monitor. After the completion ol tha main hull timber fi-s feat dep aid three feet wide is attached to tha uppor part 0 the vessel on the sile in such a manner tha' any dorangoni"nt of the said timber thore will le no laak ia in the main hull. Upon the outside ot thi.) timber is fastened fire plates of inch tron, firmly secured, without tho use of through bolts, experiments hiving 'temonstrattd the fact that pla'es fastened with through bolts ware likely to become ooss when the ship wis at sea. When tbo Monitors ire in aetion there will bo eighteen inches of the ilva feet of tha arm- r abovo water, and be'oro a ball could strike oho main hull it would fmo to travel twonty one 'et through tho water. The decks com posed of plank sovon inches thick npon which i placed two l!iickne.vei' of balf-inch iron plates. There will bo one cupalo lor each vessel; each will be twonty-one feet in diam eter, nine feet high, and eleven inohe3 thick, and carry two fifteen inch guns. The pilot houses will be plaoad on .he top of the cupalo and ao fixed that the cupalo will revolve and tho pilot house remain stationary. In his respect tho arrangement differs from the old Monitor's pilot-house. Toe pi ot-house will be of iron, eight inches thick. The vtntllan tion of the vessels will bo accomplished by drawing the air through the cupalo, and a'ter it pas 3 os to every pirt of tbe ship it will pass out at tho st.ra. This method, it Is thought; will be much better than the original, which was by ps suing the air through the vessel than allo wing it to esoipe through the cupalo loich of these vessels will have two main eu gines, with 40.irch cylinders, two blowing ongint-s, two turret engines, and two pumping engines- There will bo two of Martins boil era in each boat. The engines are now being made at the works of I. I. Morris & Co. in this city ,ai.d the cupalos are being constructed . in New York, tbe intoiior arrangerrtot oi them being Bimilur to the that oce consti ucted iu that city. A war vessel similar to theso is tdso being coastroited at Wilt 1 irg'on, Dolew.ira O.io 01' the Monitors, it is thought, will be ready for launchijg about the last of August utid the other In September.
