THE Secretary of the Treasury has not yet given I notice of any intention to withdraw this pop ular Loan from Sale at. Par. and until ten days no tice is given, the undersigned, a• "GENERAL SUBSCRIPTION AGENT," will continue to supply the public. The whole amount of the Loan authorized iv Five - Hue lred Millions of Dollars. NEARLY. FOUR HUNDRED MILLIONS HAVE BEEN ALREADY SUBSCRIBED FOR AND PAID INTO THE TREA SURY. mostly within the last seven months. The large demand from abroad, and the rapidly increas ing home demand for use as the basis for circula tine by National Banking Associations now organ ising in all parts of' the country. wilt, in a very short period, absorb the balance. Sales have late ly ranged from ten to fifteen millions weekly, fre oently exceeding three million's daily, and it is well knawn that the Secretary of the Treasury has ample at d entailing resources in the Duties on Deports and Internal Revenues, and in the issue of the Interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes. it is almost a certainty that he will pot find it ne ceseary, for a long time to come, to ieek a market for any other long or perraritent Loans, THE IN TEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF WHICH AttE PAY ABLE IN GOLD. Prudence and self-interest must force the minds of those contemplating the formation of National Banking Associations, as well as the minds of all who have idle money on their hands. to the prompt conclusion that they should lose no time in sub ser.bing to this moat popular Loan. It wilt soon be beyond their reach, and advance to a handsome premium, as was the result with the "Seven Thirty!' Lean, when it was all sold and could no longer be subscribed for at par. IT IS A SIX PER CENT LOAN, THE INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL PAYABLE IN COIN, THUS YIELDING OVER NINE PER CENT. PER ANNUM at the present rate of premium on 31in. The Government requires all duties on imports to be paid in Gold ; these ditties for a long time past amounted to over a Quarter of a Million of Dollars daily, a sum nearly three times greater than that required in the payment of the interest on all the i.2trs and other permanent Loans. So that. it is lisped that. the earplug Coin in the Treasury, at no distaat day, will enable the United States to resume specie payments upon all liabilities. The Loam is called 5-20 from the fact that Bonds may run far 20 years. yet the Government has a right to pay them off in Gold at par, at any time after 5 years. THE INTEREST IS PAID HALF-YEARLY, viz: en the first days of November and May. Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are payable to bearer, and are $5 $lOO, $590, and $1 9 09; or Registered Bonds of same denomina tions, and in addition. $5, 0 00, a,d, $lO,OOO. For tanking purposes andlor •nvestments of Trust-- monies the Registered Bonds are preferable. These 5-20's can be taxed by States, eine , . towns. 0% counties, earl the Government tax on them is •illy one•and-a-half per cent.. on the amount of in come. whoa the income of the holder exceeds Six Hundred dollars per annum ; all other investments smelt se income from Mortgagee, Railroad Steck ♦ad fonds. etc., must pay from three to five per sent, tax on the income. Banks and Bankers throughout the Country will teetinne to dispose of the Bonds; and all orders by mail. or otherwise promptly attended to. The inconvenience of a few days' delay in the delivery of Bowls is untivoitlabie, the demand being s• greet; but as interest commences from the day of subscription, no lose is occasioned, and every effort is being made to diminish the delay.

In respect to the aoit and crops there can he no mistake, as visitors can exam ine both. and none are expected to buy before so do ing, and finding these statements correct—under these circumstances, unless these statements were correct, there would be no use in their being made. It. is considered the best Fruit soil in the Union. [See Reports of Solon Robinson, Esq., of the New York Tribune, and the well-known agriculturist., William Parry, of Cinnaminson, New Jersey, which will be furnished inquirers.]. The Market.---By looking over a map the reader will perceive that it. enjoys the best.market in the Un ion, and bas direct communication with New York and Philadelphia twice a day, 1 - ling only thirty-two miles from the latter. Producer this market. brings double the price that it does in locations distant from the cities. In this location it can be put into market. the same morning it. is gathered, and for what the farmer sells he gets the highest price: whilst. groceries and other articles he purchases he gets at the lowest. price. In the West, what. lie sells brings him a pittance, but for what lie buys he pays ' two prices. In locating here the settler has many other advantages. He is within a few hours, by ' railroad. of all the great cities of New England and the Middle States. He is near his old friends and associations. He has school for his children, di vine service, and all the advantages of civilization, and be is near a large city. The Climate is delightful; the winters being sa lubrious and open, whilst the summers are no warm er than in the North. The location is upon the line of latitude with northern Virginia. - Persons Wanting a change of Climate for Health, would be much benefitted in Vineland. The mild ness of the climate and its bracing influence, makes it, excellent for all pulmonary affections, dyspepsia or general debility. Visitors will notice a difference in a few days. Chills and fevers are unknown. Conveniences ailland.-I . 3uibling material is plen ty. Fish and oysters are plenty and cheap. • Visitors must. expect, however, to see a new place. Why the Property has not been Settled Before 7- _ This question the reader naturally asks. It is hs cause it has been held. in large traces by families not disposed to sell, and being without railroad facilities they had few inducements. The Railroad has just been opened through the property this season, for the irst time. Visitors are shown ever the land in a carriage, free of expense, and afforded time and opportunity for thorough investigation. Those who come with a view to settle, should bring money to secure their purchases, as locations are not held upon refusal. • The Safest thing in Hard Times, where people have been thrown out of employment. or business. and possess some little means or small incomes, is to start themselves s home. They can buy a piece of land at a small price. and earn more than wages in improving it, and when it is done it. is a certain in dependence and no oat. A few acres in fruit trees will insure a comfortable living. The land is put down to hard- times, and all improvements can be made at ai cheaper rate than most any other time. The whole tract, with six miles front. on the rail road, is being laid out. with fine and spacious aven ues, with t town in the centre—five acre lots in the t.ewa yeti $l5O to $200; two and a-half acre lets• at tram $BO to $l2O, and town lots .50 feet front by I:Q feet deep, at sloo—payable one-half sash aid tae balance within a year.

Ts btarsafaeherers, the town affords a 11140 opening for the shoe manufacturing business, and other ar ticles, being near Philadelphia. and the surrounding country has a large population, which affords a good tostrket. This settlement, in the course of several years, will be one of the most beautiful places in the coun try, and most agreeable for a residence. It is intended to make it. a Vine and Fruit grow ing country, as this culture is the most profitable and the best adapted to the market.. Every advan tage and convenience for settlers will be introduced which will insure the prosperty of the place. The hard times throughout the country will be an advan tage to the settlement., as it compels people to resort to agriculture for a living.

Advantages of Farming near Bane—Vineland—Re. marksupon Marl—boil. its treat Irortility—The Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crops Pre.aucloiL , -.- Practical Evidence. It is certainly one of the most etetensess fertik Snags. in an almost level position. and suitable condition fee pleasant farming that we know of this tide of the watt— ern prairies. We found some of the oldest farms oppas. ently just as profitable productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover theeause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences or calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinea forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation; and this manly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most. easily assimilated by such plasanta the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl, in all its forms, has been used to fertilise crops in England, from the time it was occupied b r the Romans; and in France and Gernmny a marl bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the - field.— How much more valuable then it must be, when found already mixed through the soil, where new particles will be turned up and exposed, and transformed to the etonor's use every time he stirs the earth. Having then satisfied our minds of thecause, they will not be excited with wonder at seeing indubitable evidence of fertility in a soil which in other situa tions, having the same general characteristics or at least appearances, is entirely unrenumerative except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil ization. few words about the quality and_value of this am., for cultivation, of which we nave some strong proof. Cur first visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklin' township, Gloucester county, who purchased some eight miles north of Millville, about three years ago, for the purpose of establishing a steam mill, to work up the timber into lumber, to send off by She new railroad, as well as the firewood and coal, for %link he built a branch track a mile and a half long. lle also furnished sixteen miles- of the road with ties', and has no doubt made the mill profitable, though his main object was to open a farm, having become convinced that the soil was valuable for cultivation. In this he has not been disappointed, as some of bin crops prove. For instance, last year, the second time of cropping, 306 bushels of potatoes on one acre, worth 60 cents a bushel in the field. This year seven acres, without. manure, produced 356 bushels of oats. In one field, the first crop was potatoes, planted among the roots, and -yielded 75 bushels.— The potatoes were dug, and wheat sown, and yield ed 16 bushels; and the stubble turned under and sown to buckwheat, which yielded 83i- bushels; and then the ground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop 2f tons per acre. The fertilizers applied to these crops were trot., ashes from clearings: second, 225 pounds of super phosphate of lime; third, 200 pounds Peruvian gu ano; then 50 bushels of slaked lime has been spread upon the clover since it was mowed, and turned in for wheat. Mr. Wilson's growing crops. and the wheat. stub ble of the present season, all indicate his land as productive as any part of the State. At Mary Barrow's, an old style Jersey woman farmer, several miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we ware so particularly struck with the fine appearance of a field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the hired man how it was produced. We found that the laud had been the year but. one before in wheat, sown with clover, and this cut one season, and last spring plowed once, with one "poor old nag," and planted with corn. "Yes, but you manured high, we suppose!" we said interrogatively, and got ibis reply : "Waal, you see, we couldn't a done that ; 'cause we hada t but forty one-horse loads altogether, for 23 acres, and we wanted the most- en't for the trt , ek. The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbtge, cucumber'S, melons, &e., and a very productive patch of Lima beans, grown for 'marketing. So -we were satisfied that the soil was not infertile, eve' unaided. by *lever, which bad fed the corn, because the "truck patch" had not been in cultivation long meet to obliterate all sips Gf the forest. Our next visit was to the large farce of Andrew Sharp. five wiles north of Millville, from half to a mile east of the railroad, and just about in the cen tre of . Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work here -in December, 1858, upon 210 acres, In less than three years. be has got 284 acres cleared and in crops this season, as well inclosed and divided into several fields, with cedar rail or pole fence ; he built a two-story (Melling. about 36 by 40 feet, and a smaller house for farm laborers, and a stable and granary and some other out buildings. Considerable part of the land was cleared for the plow at $9 an acre, and on some of it the first crop was buckwheat, limed with 50 bushels in powder per acre. This crop may be put in July 4th to 20th, and yields 20 to 8t) bushels per acre. harvested i• November; when the land being sowed with 15011 of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 1. to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The ryeistubble turned, after knocking off a large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano and seeded to wheat., gave 15 or 16 bushels. The crop which he was threshing while we were there promi ses more, of a very pluinp grain, and the straw is very heavy. We went over the stubble, and found the clover and timothy, from seed Bowed last sprink. on the wheat: without harrowing, looking as well as we ever saw it upon any old cultivated farm, and with a lit tle work done in the winter to clear off some roots and rotten stumps, and setting stakes to mark per manent ones, he will be able to cut the crop the next year with a mowing machine, and we will guarantee two tons per acre, if he will give the overplus if it goer- Mitt the'estimate. Part of the land wa s planted with potatoes for a first. crop, which yielded 120 bushels per acre. It was then limed with 50 bushels per acre, and seeded with wheat and clover. yielded and average of over 15 bushels per acre, and the clover now looks beau tiful. Other portions have been planted with corn as a first crop. which yielded 30 bushels of yellow °lnt corn, and the second crop 40 bushels. and the third crop. treated to 1601 As. of guano, we are sure us one would estimate below 40 bushels per acre. [The reader will recollect that the writer is now I speaking Of land perfectly new, and which can scarcely be considered in good arable condition 1 En.] A. L. IRWIN, JAMES M.
