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 Lion by National Banking Associations now organ izing in all parts of the country. will, in a very short period, absorb the balance. Sales have late 1y ranged from ten to tifteen millions weekly, fre quently exceeding three millions daily, and it is well known that the Secretary of the Treasury has ample and unfailing resources in the Duties on Imports and Internal Revenues, and in the issue of the Interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is almost a certainty that be will not find it ne cessary, for a beg time to come, 1 3 seek a market for any other long or perianent Loans, THE IN TEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF WHICH ARE PAY ABLE IN GOLD. Prudence and self-interest must force the minds of these 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• scribing to this most popular Loan. It will soon be beyond their reach, and advance to a handsome oremium, as was the result with the "Seven Thirty" Loan, when it was all sold and tould no longer be subscribed for at par.

So that it is hoped that the sarplus Coin in the Treasury, - at no distant day, will enable the United States to resume specie payments upon all liabilities. The Loan is called 5-211' front the fact. that. Bonds may run. for 20 years. yet the Governtnent has a right to pay them off in Gold at par, at any time atter 5 years. THE INTEREST IS PAID HALF-YEARLY, viz: on the first days of November and May. Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which arc payable to barer, and are ss', $lOO. $5OO, and $11100; or Registered Bonds of same denomina tions, and in addition. $5,000. and $lO,OOO. FOr tanking purposes and for.. investments of Trust monies the Registered Bonds are preferable.

Only thirty miles South of Philadelphia. on a Railroad; being a Rich, Lleavy Soil, and Flighty Productive Wheal Land; Amongst the Beat in the Garden State of New Jersey. It consists or 20,000 acres of GOOD land, diviisd into Farms of differeut sizes to suit the purchaser— FROM 20 ACRES AND UPWARDS—and is sold at the rata of from $l5 to $2O per acre for the farm land, pay able one-fourth cash, and the balance by quarter yearly installments, with legal interest, within the term of four years. The Soil is, in great part, a Rich Clay Loam, suit able for Wheat, Grass and Potatoes—also a dark and rich sandy loam, suitable for corn. sweet-potatoes, tobacco, all kinds of vegetables and root crops, and the finest varieties of limit, such as Grapes, Pears, Peaches, Apricots, Nectarines, Blackberries, ?deist's and other fruits, best adapted to the Philadelphia and New York Markets. In respect to the soil and crops there can he no mistake, as visitors can exam ine both, and none are expected to buy before so do-. lug, 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 .3larket.---By looking over a map the reader will perceive that it enjoys the beet market in the Un ion, and has direct communication with New York and Philadelphia twice a clay, f:eing only thirty-two miles from thelatter. Produce t. this market brines 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 he sells brings him a pittance. hut fur what. he 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. Ile has school fon , his children, di vine. service, and all the advantageS of civilization, and he is near a large city. The Climate is delightful ; the winters being sa lubrious and open, whilst the summers are no warm er than iu 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 aeneral debility. Visitors will notice a difference in a few days. Chills and fevers are unknown. Conveniences at Hand.—Building material is plen ty. Fish and oysters are plenty and cheap. Visitors must expect, howerer, to see a new place. Why the Property has not been Settled Before ? This question the reader naturally asks; It is be cause it has been held in large tracts by families not disposed to sell, and being without railroad facilities they bad few inducements. The Railroad has just been opened through the property this season, for the first 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 a home. They - can buy a piece or land at it small price. sari earn more than wa k es in improving it, and Whet it is done it is a certain fa dependeuce.and no lass. 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 a 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, wilt, a town in the centre—five acre lots in the town sell At. `rem $l5O to$200; two and a-half acre lots, at. from $BO to $l2O, and town lots 50 feet front by 1%0 feet deep, at sloo—payable ono-half cash and 6.19 balance within a year.

VINELAND SETTLEMENT " The following is an extract from the report of Solon Rubinson, Esq., published in the New York Tribune. in reference to Vineland. All persons can read this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near Home—Vineland--Re marks upon Marl—Soil, its great. Fertility—Thy Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crops Produced-- Practical Evidence. It is certainly one of Me most estertanto fertile tracts, in en ainkist level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming that we know of this side of the uest ern prairies. We found some of the oldest farms appar ently just as profitable productive us when first cleared of jitrest fifty or a hundred ,years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine. deposit., and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances. generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct 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 Outwit' the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl. in all its forms, has been used to fertilise crops in England, from the time it was occupied by the Romans; and in France and Gernu_ny a mail 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 owner'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 sanie general characteristics or at least appearances, is entirely unrenumerative except as its productivenesa is promoted by artificial fertil ization. proof Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklin township, Gloucester county, who purchased some eight miles north ofHville, about three years ago, for the purpose of establishing a steam mill, to work up the timber into lumber, to send off by the new railroad, as well as the firewood and coal, for which he built a branch track a mile and a half long. He 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 lie has not been disappointed, as some of his 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 33 i bushels; and then the ground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop 2} 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 turnei ii 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 were 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 land 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 this reply "Waal, you see, we couldn't a done that; 'cause we bsdn t but forty one-horse loads altogether, for 23 acres, and we wanted the most on't for the. truck. The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, melons, &c., and a very productive patch of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that the soil was not infertile, oven unaided by clover, which had fed the coin, beca.use the "truck patch" had not beau in' eultivatt‘n long enough to obliterate all sigma of the forma. Our next visit Was to the large farm of Andrew sharp, lye miles 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 270 acres. In less the. three years. he has got 234 acres cleared and in crops this season, as well inclosed and divided into several fields, 'with cedar rail or pole fence; has built a two-story dwelling. about 36 by 40 feet, and a smaller house for farm laborers, and a stable and granary and sonic 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 duly 9th to 20th, and yields 20 to 30 bushels per acre, harvested in November; when the land being sowed with 1501ba of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 14 to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The ryeistubble t urned, after knocking oif a large growl h of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano and seeded to wheat, gave lr , or Iti bushels. The crop which. he was threshing while we were there pronti ses more, of a very plump grain, and the straw is very heavy. We went over the stubble, and found the clover and timothy, front seed sowed last spring, on the wheat. without harrowing. looking as well as we ever saw it upon any old cultivated farm, end 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 lie will give the overplus if it aver_ runsthe estimate. A. L. IRWIN, JAMES M. IRWIN Report of Solon Robinson, OF TliE NEW YORK TRIJi t NE, L - YON TAE "few words about the quality and value of this an. for cultivation, of which we have some strong Part of the land was 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 t!int corn, and the second crop.9o bushels, and the third crop, treated to 150ths. of guano, we are sure no one would estimate below 90 bushels per acre. [The reader will recollect that the writer is now speaking of land perfectly new, and which can scarcely be considered in good arable condition En.] In other cases. the corn crop of last year was fol lowed with oats this season, not yet threshed, but will average probably 40 to 50 bushels. Sweet po tatoes. beans, melons, and, in fa. - 1, all garden veg etables. as well as young' peach and other fruit trees planted this year • show very plainly that this long neglected tract of land should remain so no longer, and there is now a strong probability that it will not ; for under the auspices of Mr Landis, it will he divided into small lots, with roads located to accommodate all—the surveyor is now busy at this work—and all purchasers will he required to build neat comfortable houses, and either fence their lots in uniformity. or agree to live without fence, which would be preferable, by which means a good population will be secured, who will estab lish churches, schools, stores, mills.
