It is certainly on of the most extensive fertile tracts, tn an almost level position, and suitable conditio for pleasant farruin that we know of thia aid of the western prairie. W found soma f the vldeet farm apparently jnst aa profitably prodostiv a when first cleared ef forest fifty r a hnndred years ago The geologist would soon discover the eanse of this eontinned fertility.

A fow words about th quality and value of thia land for cultivation, of wbioh w bars strong proof. Our Aral vialt waa to William D: Wilson, Frank- iiu Hiwnsuii, uiutsounivr oounty; wno purchaaod some eight mile north of Millville, abont three yrago, for th purpose of establish lev a steam mill to work up the tim er into lumbar, to aend oft oy me new raiiroaa, aa well as tiro wood and coal for whioh he bu It a branch track a mllo and a half long. Ho also furnished sixteon niilos of the road with ties, and has no doubt made tho mill profitable, though bis main objoot was to open a farm, having become convinced that the soil waa valua- oioior cultivation, in mis ho baa not been disappointed, ao soma of his crops prove. For instanso, last year, the seoond time of cropping, 301 bushels nf potatoes os one acre, worth to oent a buahel in tho Bold. This year acvea acre vitnout any manure produced 35S bushel of oats. In on field the firaterop was potatoes planted among tho root and yielded 74 bushels. Tbe potatoea were dug and wheat aowd, and yloldod 10 bushels; and the siuDoie inrnea ana sown to nucKwneat, which yield ed S3 bushels; and then the ground waa aown to oiover ana umoiny, wnicn gave as a first crop IW tons per acre. Ths for til iters applied to these erops; were first, iiva iiviu KiBiiriugi, icouna jj3 peunas super-phosphate of lime; third 100 pounds Peruvian rn ano; then 60 bushels of slaked lime has been spread ujou ma civver since it was mowea,ana turned In lor wneai. Mr- Wilson's growing orops, and the wheat stubble of the present season, all indioat his land as being productive as any part of tbe State. At Mary Barrow's, an old style Jersey woman farmer, several miles aonth of Mr. Wilson's, we wars so particularly struck with the fine appearance of a field of earn, that we atunoarl tn inn,,i of a hired man bow It was produced. We found mat ine inn nan Been the year but one before in whoat, sown witholover. and thia cut one IRIUnn and last spring plowed once with 'one poor old nag' and planted wi h corn. i aa, .ut you manured hixh. we snnnonT mM iubnrru(pfciTaiy,na gut tnia reply Waol, you aee, ws couldn't a done that, because we hadn't but forty one-horae load) altogether, for 28 acres, and wo wanted the moat on it for the track." The track consisted of beots.carrota, cabbage, cu-jumbers, melons, Ac, and a very productive patch of Lima Beans, grown for marketing. Ho we were satisfied that the soil waa not infertile, even unaided by diver, which hod fed the corn, because the truck patch had not been clnvered, and had been in cultivation long enough to obliterate all signs of ths forest Our next visit was to the farm of Andrew Sharp five miles north of Millville, from half to a mile east of the railroad, and juat about in the centre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp oommenoed work here In December, 18i, npon 270 acres. In loss than three years be haa (-ot 234 acres sleared and in crops thia season, all well inclosed and divided into several fields, with cedar rail or pole fence; baa built a I wo story dwelling, about 3d by 40 feet, and a smaller house for farm laborers, and a atable or granary and soma other outbuildings. Considerable part of the land was cleared for the plow at $9 per aero, nnd on some of It tho first crop was bjclcwheat, limed with SI) bushels in powder per ajro. This orop mav bo put in July 4th toUOth and yields 20 to SO bushels per ocro, harvested in November; when the land being sowed with 150 lbs of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye,yiolded 12 tn 15 bushels per acre and $10 worth of straw. The rye stubble turned, after knocking off a large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano and seeded to wheat, gave 15 tn 10 bnshcls. The crop which ho was threshing while we were there promises more, of a very plump grain, and the straw is very heavy, We went over the stubble, and found the clover and liinethy from reed sowed lost spring,' on the wheat wi'hcut harrowing, looking as well aa wo ever saw it u,ion any old cultivated farm, and wilh a little work done in the winter to clear off aome roots nd rotten stumps, and setting stakes to mark pormn iiont ones, ho will bo nblo to cut tho crop the noxt year with a mowing raachino, and we will guarantee two tons per aero, if he will give the uver piua ii iv iivurrmm iiiu esuuini . Part of the land was plan tod with nolatoos for a first crop, which yioldert 120 bushels per acre. It wap then limed with 50 bushe per aero, nnd seed ed with wheat and olovcr,yUlding un average of over 15 bushels per acre, and tho clover now looks beautiful. Other portions have been planted with corn as a firaterop. which yielded 311 huxhcls nf vcltow flint corn, ami tne second orop -,orly bushels, ana the third crop, treated 150 I In of gmtno, wo are auro no one would estiinuto bol w 40 bushida per acre. The reader will reoollect that tho wrltor is now Brooking of lund en'iroly new, nnd which can scarcely be considered in good arable oondition, Ed. In othor cases Iho corn orop of last year was followed with oats this soason, not yet thrashed, but will avorngo pr bobly 40 to 50 bushels. Sweet potatoes, rears, molousand in (not nil garden vegetables, ns well aa young peach and othor fruit treca planted this year show very plai ly that thia long icglected tract of land should remain bo no longer, and there is now a strong probability that it will not; for under tho auspices nf Mr. Liindia, it will be divided into small lots, with roads located to accommodate all the surveyor is now busy at this work.. and all purchasers will be required to build neat eomfortable houses, and either fence their lo' in uniformity, or agree to livo without fence, wnicn wouia oe preieruble, by which means food population will be secured, who will establish churches, schools, stores' mills, meshanio shops and homes homes of American farmers, surrounded by gardens, orchards, fields and comforts ef civil bed life. fr any one, from any derangement of businesi, 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 read and believe what we have truly staled, he will do well to go and a eo for himself what may be seen within a two bouja' rldo out of Philadelphia.

The L. uisvllle Journal rays: Morgan has been disapi oiiited or deceived as to the em-i per or Kentucky, He was heard to say at Millerubnrg that he had been promised twenty thousand recruits of tho bent blood of the State all mounted aod armed, but instead thereof he had received tut a fear vagabonds. and tad been compelled lo eteil horses for their use. The (act is that Morgan, from a partisan leader, bts degooersted into s oom-mon horse-thlof. and this is acknowledged by most of those who were under the influence of the eocbintmaot whioh distance lent to his exploits, f I is former syrapithis rs at Pi nk- iort and Lezirgton shouldered muskets and joined the ez ernxirictd H ime Guards, de oounoing his exliops as those of a common thief and highway robher, and saying, "If this is ths way he wagis war for Southern Rights w are .dnne with it." I seems aa if the all-wise Providence, whioh has always proteoted us as its chosen people, had takes this mode of rrrking Its mysterious ways. It has per-mi'ted this miscreant to invade the State with bis cchorts of cut hroats; to plunder 'ritnds and foos indiscriminately; to make pretentious promises of prouotion; to ibsuo proclamations calling up-m "ths young blood of Kentucky" to avenga fancied wrongs ol the daughters ol Louisiana; to steal upon the se curity of our peaceful citizens and to achieve some important successes at ths ouiset all of whioh are to be f llowed by a thorough end humiliating retreat or capture. His raid instead of enlisting the sympathies of respect able men has disgusted them, and he has at tracted to b is bandit standard only the vaga bonds who find cong nial occupation in rob bing the stables of Kentucky's world known stock raisers snd stealing all the money they oould lay their hands npon. It required only this to open the eyes of many deluded citi-suns, and show them that this rebellion. wherever probteutsd, haa tho same infamous features ol rapine and uneurbtd licentious' ness; that it is without a single ennobling sentiment, sod has for its object the selfish aggrsndiziment of its loaders, whi have da- UrjiinerJ to put money in their purses, in the desperate hope that they may escape merited punishment and enjoy their lives in disgrace- tul exile in foreign lands upon the fruits of their bold maraudings. Ia a few dayi Mor-gtn and his piratical gang will be subdued. Clay Smith, Metcalfe and Maxwell are tbe avengers npon bis bloody track, and soon the m moryof his exploits will live but in the comments of contempt sod on the ains prige with the exploits of Murrell and other notorious thieves of our great western valley. What tha Prosidant said. "Again" thi Western correspondent o1 the Cincinnati G xitto, has found hi way to Washington, whouco he writea under date of July 13 h: "On the single matter of the P.esident's belie: as to the amount of our losses, we already have throe or lour contradictory versions ; while I huppen to know that every one of them edicts with tbe statements tbe President himself made to a certain party of four, only last Friday evening. Said tbe President with marked emphasis, 'I ain't tell where the men have gone in that army. I have sent their at one time and another, one hundred and ' (oerbaps prudence reqn res tbal I should leave the next two pUcis for Saras blank ) 'one b-indred and thousand men, and I can only fiud just half that many no.

So, to i, on that evening, tbe President had not 'determined to remove qecrtary Stanton at once,' or at any other time; and he had not determined to remove Q-a. McClellao and put Burnside.'or 'put Mitchell.' or'Htl leek in command.' He was assured that re taining McCleilan was seriously damaging enlistments under ths new call in the West, but he promptly replied. 'Perhaps I do lose so us there, but I shall lose on tbe other band elsewhere, if I were to remove him.' And be was equally free in ixpress his con1 fldence in Secretary 8 union, snd bif lndig nation-at the abnse heaped on thit officer for actions he bimsell had ordered. There is no special privacy in these re" marks, and ths public is fairly sntitled to knowledge ol them. Tbe President may have changed his Kind sine then he may be at a) loss to know his own mind as the retailers ol th news, that UcClellaa is to be promptly removed, and that Stanton' U to be promptly removed and that our losses before Richmond have been insignificant, would lead I us to think, but I must sgam say simply that I. . ,. ...

They were in favor ol subsisticg our treopt upon toe enemy, of using negroes or all military purposes, snt of pushing ths war wi'bout lurlher delay.

Tremenduous spp.au .e j Plana of tho Rjdais. Among other interesting ileuis as to the proceedings of the Rabels, we have some ink-ling of tbe subjects discussed at two confer. ence of all the principal Rjbel military leads e.-s. held in Richmond on tbe 4'h and 6th instants. It is understood that they came to the conclus'on that tbey must lose no more territory. The defensive policy was strobgly attacked, and both Lee and Beauregard adk vised the invasion of the North at three difTmont points -namely, from Cumberland or Williamjport Into Pennsylvania,- from Louisville aod Cincinnati into Wiaoa and Ohio, and from Ptduoth and Ciiro into Illi nois. It is alleged that the following plan of operation for the remtinderof the summer campaign was agreed upou: 1. Tne immediate obstruction of th) James river so aa to make it impossible for McClellao to use it as a means for communicating wilh the Q ivermint an J lor tbe transporter lion of reintoroements and army supplies. 2. The re.oc3up.tioo of Williamsburg, York town a td the entire peninsula. 3 The recovery ol the whole of tbe terri tory of Virginia, and '.ho repossession of the Baltimo.eaad Oiio Railroad. 4. Tbe recovery of Niw Orleans, Memphis ana the Mississippi river, and ths expulsion of the Federal troops from Tennessee and Keotuoky. When these objects had been accomplished, tbe Lee and Beauregard plan proposed. 6 To make the Potomac and Ohio rivers at once the base of tbeir operations and frontier line.and to transfer tbe seat of war from Virginia to Maryland. 0. To burl upon Washington, from Richmond, a column of two hundred thousand roops. the cap;ure of that city, the "libera tion" of Baltimore, and the invasion of th Noith at tbe three points named above- By beoomiDg in turn ths invaders, they hope to make it necessary for us to seep at home, for tbe defense of oar cities, ally (Ire hundred thousand troops.

The region takes its Spanish name from the fact that owing to its aridity and btrrenness.the Indians were or-mpelled to stnke our tracks to enabled them to cross it with rapidity and certain ty. Not o 'e drop of water is found through out its extent, anc yet. as it lies directly on tbe best overland mail routes betwt en the eastern and western slopes of tie Uiion.it was of the greatest moment to mrke it traversable. With a view to do this, the great artesian well enterprise was under taken, and entrusted to l apt.

During tbe polit ical campaign of 1863 he sympathised, 's much as an officer pr perly could, with the Republican candid tie for the Presidency and. in an addresi on the subject of fortifications read before the Literary Society of Cinoirina'.i, satirized the policy ol Presid6ut Buchanan in unsparing terms Up. n the election of Mr. Linool n, he accompanied that geatlemtn on his perilous and memorable trip from Cincinnati to Washington, in February, 1861, and wbb court-martaihd by President Buchanan s"',ort!y pf t-rwards.but upon therecommenda ion of Mr Holt.ihj Po'trn ister General.the matter was allowed to die. When the re bellion broke out 0-tptain Pope, as a seal-on i, able, aod reliable offljnr, was placed in situations of re.iponsibi ity aud rapidly promoted, eo mum so that on tbe 17'b of May, 1861, he received bia corrmission as Brigadier G-nsral in the 'rmy of Missouri. Wacn G-n Fremont waa withdraw i from his command Gi.i, Pope had ehargt of the Westin D-iparimont until Gen. Hunter's arrival. ILs brilliant movem-uis in Central Missouri grea'iy contributed to he succeasof the ctmpiign in that direction, and saved St. Louis. His late, even more dashing exploits at Islatd No. 10, have made his country familiar with his name. Munificent Gift to the Government.

On Tuesday, sayi the Pittsburih Dispatch the sernnd flf eoa inch guu Qnidhed at lb Fort Tilt Works was taken from the ihnp to the metal yard of the Pennsylvania Rtilrond at the corner of Grant and Liberty streets, vhcro it will be shlpoid to the Etst on a car prepared for that purpose. Two of these large guna bate already bieo taken over the same rotd, but the mode of transportation from the shops t6 the railroad waa different Irom that now sdnptod Both tbe Lincoln' and 'Union' were drawn along the streets no wheels fitted on the guns themselves, by wlndla.seodpol- . . .. , leys. Since the tranncorlalion rf heavy ord nance ban becomo an every dav business, the firm has provided a Urge waqjn Or the purpose, and thfs was used for the first time on Tuesday. Twelve borsos and two Ida ropns manned by workmen and spectators, moved the gun along the level with eas) but the enormous weight ovor 40.000 lbs., toll rather severely on the mo'ive poer on an up grade. The wagon on whioh the gun was hauled was duilt in the ordinary frm of wagon running gears, the whre'fl and axles being of the most massive character. Instead of tbe customary "coupling tongue, two immense timbers are stretohed from tbe front to hind axles and securely fastened Bjneath these timbers the gun is alung by the common timbei wheel tickle. Nothwithstanding the breadth of the I ires on tho wheels their progress along tbe pavement crushed and sunk the boulders almost as readily as ordinary wheel prints on a dusly road. The manufacture of large guns is stsaJily progressing st the works, which will soon b ia a oondition to turn them out with as great rapidity as the ordoanoe of small calibre The third gun ol fifteen Inch calibre was taken out of the lathe costerday anl another will be put in Its p'aoe immidiitely. None of the navy fifteen inch guns have yet been turned out. No "Bull Baa" Among the Bees. A battle of bees recently occurred at Con-neaur, Ohio. Eire Dipple had seventy swarms, about equally divided on the east and west sides of his house. Ou the 17th tbey went to war, thoso on the west side of tbe house being arrayed in battle against those on the other side. Tboy filled the air- covering a space of moro than one aero ol ground, aod fought deaperaily for three hours not for "spoils," but lo- conquest; and while at war, no living thing could exits in the vicinity. Tbey stung a large flock o' Shanghai chickens, nearly all ol wbieb died, and persons passing ilong tbe rosds'de were oWiged to make baste to avoid their albgs. Quiet was not restored until nigtfall. Two young swarms were entirely destroyed, nod the slain literlly covered the ground. Neither party were victorious, and thoy only ceased from utter prostntion.
