U. S.
THE Secretary of the Treasury has not yet given
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 AGENP," will continue to supply
the public.
The whole amount of the Loan authorized is Five
Hundred. 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•
tion.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
ly ranged from. ten to fifteen millions weekly, fre
qaently exceeding three millions daily, and it is
well known that, the Secretary of the Treasury has
ample and , unfailing resources in the Duties on
Import!! and Internal Revenues, and in the issue of
the Interest. bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes,
it is alinest a certainty that lie will not find it. ne
cessary, for a lain time to come, to seek a market
for any, other long or permanent. Loans, THE 'IN-
TEREST AND PRRINCIPALOC WHICH ARE PAY
ABLE IN GOLD. . =
Prudence t.nd 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 moat popular Loan. It will soon
he beyond their reach, and advance to a handsome
premium, as ,was the result with the "Seven Thirty"
Loan; when ii was all , sold and could no 'longer be
sihscrined for :it par.
IT IS A SIX PER CENT LOAN, THE INTEREST
J. H. RILEY
AND PRINCIPAL PAYABLE IN COIN, THUS
YIELDING OVER NINE PER. CENT.PER ANNUM
at the present rate of premium on Ygn.
The Government requires all duties on imports to
be paid in Gold ;"these duties for a long time past
amounted to orer a Quarter of a Million of Dollars
daily; a sum nearly three timer greater than that
required in the payment-of the interest on all the
5-20'k and other - permanent Loans. So that it is
hoped that:the sdrptus Coin in the Treasury, at 'no
distant day, will enable the United States to resume
specie payMents upon all liabilities.
' The Loan is called 5-20 from the fact that. Bonds
may run for 20 years, yet. the Government has a
right. to pay 'bent vff in Gold at par, at any tune
after 5 years.
TTII INTEREST IS'PAID ILA LF-YEARLY, viz
on the first days of November and ,May.
Subscribers can hare Codpon whieh are'
payable to bearer, and are JlOO, $5OO, and
$1.000: or 'Registered Bonds of "same delomina
tient, and in addition. $5,000. and $1.0,000.. F or
Banking purposes and fur investments of Trust-.
monies the Regislefed Bonds are preferable.
These 5-20's can be taxed ny States., cities, towns,'
of counties, and the Government. tax on them is
only one-and-a-half par cent.. on.the amount of in:
comma. when the income of the holder. exceeds Six
undi-ed dolb:rs per annum:. all ether investments
such as incense from Mortgages, Railroad Stock
and Beads. etc., must pay froM three to fire per
cent, tax on the income.
li..
anks and Bankers throughout the Country will
Continue 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 unavoidable. the demand being
so great; but as interest commences from the, day
of .subscription, no loss is occasioned. and every
effort is being made to diminish the delay. ,

TO ALL WANTING FARMS
New Settlement of Vineland.
A EMEDY FOR HARD TIMES.
A Rare Opportunity in the Best Market, and Most De
lightful and Healthful Climate in the Union. Only
thirty miles South of Philadelphia. on a Railroad;
being a Rich, Heavy Soil, and Highly Productive
Wheat Land; Amongst the Best fn the Garden State
of _Veto Jersey.
It consists of 20,000 acres of GOOD land, divided
into Farms of different sizes to suit the purchaser—
PROM 20 AGUES AND liPWARDB—and is sold at. the rate
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 learn, suitable for corn, sweet-potatoes,
tobacco, all kinds of vegetables and root crops, and
the finest varieties of fruit, such as Grapes, Pears,
Peaches, Apricots, Nectarines, Blackberries, Melons
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
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 has direct communication with New York
and- Philadelphia twice ft day, being only thirty-two
miles from the latter. Produce r' 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 he sells
brings him a pittance, but for 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. He has school for his children, di
vine service, and all the advantages of civilization,
and Jic is near a large city.
The Climate is delightful; the winters being act-,
bibrious and open, whilst the summers are no warm
er than in the North. The location is upon the
line of latitude with northern Virginia.'
Pertobs 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 at Hand.—Building material is plen
ty. Fish and oysters are plenty and cheap.•
Visitors must expect., however, to see a newplace.
,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 had few inducements. The Railroad has just:
been opened through the property this season, for
the first time..
Visitors are shown over the land in a carriage,
free of expense, and afforded time and'opportunity
for thorough investigation. Those who come with
.view t &set tie. - 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 of
land at a small price, and earn more than wa ts es in
.improving it, and when it is . done it is a certain in
dependence and'no 1359. A few acres in fruit, trees
will insure a comfortable living. The land is fiut
down to hard-times, and alk improvements can be
mane at a chea l ier rate than most any other time.
The whole tract, with six miles . front on the rail
road,_is -being leid.out with flue and apt - Mit:Ms aven- .
ues, with t town in the centre—fivettcre lots in the
town selk,,lL from $l5ll to $2OO ; two and a-half acre
lets, at front SBO to $l2O. and town lots 50 feet front
by Fig feet deep, at sloo—payable one-half cash
and La.. balance within a year.' It is only upon
farms of twenty acres, or more, that four' years'
time, is given.
To Manufacturers. the town affords a fine 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 'market.
This settlement, in the course of several years,:
will be one of the most beautiful places in the coun
try. and lutist-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 reifort
to agriculture for a living.
Large numbers of people are purchasing, and the
people who desire the best, location should visit the
place at once. •

Practical Evidence
It is certainly one of the most oxtensint fertile tracts,
in an almost level position, and suitable condition for
pleasant farming that we know of this side ef the west
ern prairies. We found some of the oldest farms appar
ently just as profitable productive as when first thorn!
of forest fifty or a hundred years ago.
The geologist , would soon discover thecause of this
continued fertility. The whole country is a marine
deposit, find ill through the soil we found evidenoes
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 exaot
condition most easily assimilated by such plasants

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
leak appearances, is entirely unrenumerative except
as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil
ization.
A words about the quality and value of this
anu for cultivation, of which we have some strong
proof.
Our 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 the new
railroad, as well as the firewood and coal, for which
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 valoable for cultivatien.
In this he has not been disappointed, as some of his
crops prove. For instance, last year, the second
time of cropping, 306 binhels of potatoes on one
acre, worth tilt cents a bushel in the field. This yenr
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 33t- bushels;
and then theground was sown to clover and timothy,
which gave as &first crop 2-1. tons per acre.
The fertilizers applied to these crops were first,
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 were
so particularly struck with the fine appearance•of a
field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the hires
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 platitcd
with corn.
• "Yes, but you manured high, we suppose I" we
said interrogatively, and got this reply •
"Waal, you see, we couldn't a done that; 'cause
we hadn'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, cabbece,
cucumbers, melons, &c., and a very productive patch
of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were
satisfied that the soil was not infertile, even unaided
by clover, which had fed the coon, because the "truck
patch" had net been in enlaced= long enough to
obliterate all signs of the forest.
Our next, visit. was to the large farm of Andrew
Sharp; five 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 than
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 some other out buildings. "
Considerable part of the land was cleared for the
plow if $6 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 30 bushels per acre, harvested in
November ; when the land being sowed with 150Ibs
of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12
to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The
ryelstubble 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 plump grain, and the straw is
very heavy.
We went over the stubble, end found the clover
and timothy, from .seed sowed last spring, on the
wheat'without harrowing, looking as well as we ever
saw it upon any old cultivated farm, and with a lit-

year with a mowing machine, and we will guarantee

- runs the estimate. .
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 80 bushels of yellow tint
corn, and the second crop 40 bushels, and the third
crop; treated to.lsolbs. of guano, we are sure no
one would estimate below 40 bushels per acre.

speaking of land perfectly new, and which can
scarcely be considered in good :treble condition
