New SEFTLEMENT--A new settlement
has been started at Hammonton, New Jer.
sey, which for success and progress rivals
anything we have heard OF in the west.
There is a large emigration having objection
to The West on account of unhealthfulness,
distance and association, which embraces
this new enterprise. The land is in a genial
climate, and the soil is said to be among the
best Jersey soil. Jersey. as will be seen by
the agric ultural statistics at the Patent Off
ice, is the FIRST agricultural State the in Union.
Fhe tide of emigration to this place is inn
mense, as well from the West as from the
North. Many Of the best grape growers OF
Ohio have located, with a view of making
wine. To judge of its progress, the popula-
ton one year ago is numbered at only five
persons. it now numbers ever eight hundred
souls, has one hurried and twenty-five bull
dings, three stores, two churches, Episcopal
and Methodist, steam mill, brick yard IL arble
yard, public school,, newspaper, SC, some
twenty FIVE miles of new roads opened, six
So uare miles being improved, a new railroad
station, and all the elements of an old place.
We are satisfied that this place must possess
merit from It's unparalleled progress.

PRESIDENTIAL SYMPTOMS IN MAssACHU-
sETTs.-The New Bedford Standard closes
some very kind remarks about GOV. Chase
as follows:
"At the recent dinner given to him in
Boston, at which Governed Banks presided,
there was exhibited a feeling of cordial
friendship and perpetual good will which
must have satisfied all who were were pres
emf, that Gov. Chase is one upon whom
Massachusetts will readily rely, if need be,
to lead her sons in the coming contest
He has some admirable qualities which are
needed. He is firm and judicious, and high
ly practical; and the whole commercial
community understand we'll that he is safe
and trustworthy. His talents as a states
man are OF a high order. He has had full ex-
perience and knows thoroughly the duties
of government. Like our own Governor
Banks, he has shown himself an able ad-
miuistrator of affairs, and like Governor
Seward he has amaseed a legislative expert
ence that has made him conversant with the
wants of the people, and with those wants o:
the people which call for immediate nation
al protection. He is a very strong man in
the West and Northwest. No man can
snite the various interests of the free states
more surely than he can. We shall hold
ourselves uncommitted for the present
/ While so many good men are with US we
s.afe at liberty to take time to choose. But
among them all, we know not now any one
who combines more of the elements OF sue
cess than the statesman of Ohio"
