U. S. 7--;0 LOAN.
Bv authority of the Secretary of the Treasury,
the undersigned has assumed the General Subscrip
tion Agency for the sale ot United States Treasury
Notes, bearing sfven and three tenths per cent, in
mest, per annum, known as the
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN.
These Notes are issued under date of August l'fb,
18(54, and are payable three years from that time,
In currency, 01 are convertible at the option of the
bolder into
U. S. 5-20 Six per cent.
G0 L D-B E ARI N G BONDS
These bonds are now worth a premium of nine per
cent., including gold interest from Nov., which
mikes the actual profit on the 7-30 loan, at current
rates, including interest, about ten per cent. p-r
annum, besides its exemption from Stale and luum
cipal taxation, tehiek adds from one to thin per cent,
wore, according to the rate levied on other property.
The interest is payable semiannuiliy by coupons
attached to each note, which may be cut tU ai d
•old to any bank or banker.
The interest amounts to
One cent per day on a$Q note.

Notes of *ll the denominations named will be
promptly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions.
This is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
now offered by the Government, an I it is confilent
)y expected that its juperior advantage* will make
it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE,
Less thar, $200,000,000 remain unsold, which will
probably be disposed of within the next 66 or 50
day, when the notes will undoubtedly command a
premium, as has uniformly been the case on closing
the subscription to other loans.
In order that citizens of every town and section
of the country may be afforded facilities for taking
the loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Pri
vate Bankers throughout the country have general
ly agreed to receive subscriptions at par. Subscri
bers will select their o .vn agents, in whom they
fcave confidence, and who only are to be responsible
for the delivery of the cotes loi which they receive
orders.

The pioperty of th' company is all owned in fee
simple and is all paid for; and consists of the fol
lowing tracts:
Ist. That valuable Island known as the ''Lower
Stump Creek Island," containing C acres ar.d 93
perches; situated ir. the Allegheny river, at the
motiln of the Clarion river. On this island a der
rick was erected iri the spring o! 1861. and an en
gine placed on the ground, but the war breaking
out fhc parties sold off and enlisted.
2J. The "Upper Stump Creek Island," situated
but a lew rods above the Lower island, containing
4 acres and 20 perches, four acres of which are own
ed by this Company, on which are erected a house,
stable, &c.
Neither of these fslan is is liable to overflow, and
both are well pro'ected by stones and trees ag.inst
washing. By reference toithe map of Pennsylva
nia, it will be observed that the Clarion river emp
ties into the Ailegneny at a point due South fiorn
Oil Creek, and as oil is found at Freepor', on this
line further South, we have every reason to believe
that these islands are in the very centre of the great
Oil Belt of Pennsylvania. Besides all this they lie
far below the Coal Measures.
The Company also own? one acre and sixty-one
perches of land, about miles above the Upper
Isiaud, at the month of Ritchey Run, near tbe town
of Emlenton, Venango county, Pa., upon which is
the celebrated Fox and Vv'idel weil, with new en
gines, derriek, &c., and the well
is bored to the depth of 420 teet. This well was
tubed at 350 feet. a.id in a fewbouia pumping yield
ed about one barrel of oi!; but the proprietors de
termined to sink it deeper, and the company will,
as soon as possible, sink this weil if necessary, to
the depth of 1000 leet or more. The "Stump isl-j
and Company" own the WHOLE of this well, fixtures j
and land, and tbe "Development Fund" will be am-!
ply sufficient to complete this well, and sink othere
in the island. There is besides, room enough on
the Ritchey Run tract for several more wells.
The property owned by this Company is all prac
tical boring territory, and persons acquainted with
tbe lands along the Allegheny and other oil streams
will bear witness that we have more practiral bor
ing surface than many of the 300 acre tracts con
tain. In addition to this, our basis will compare
favorably witb the laige majority of Companies
whose capital stock is five times as great.
The services of an efficient Superintendent have
been obtained, and the Directors ate determined to
prosecute operations vigorottsly. Persons desirous;
of securing a portion of the 21,000 shares of stock ;
must apply soon, to Hon. S. L. RUSSELL. Bedford, j
