U 4 S 3 05-20'So
TIR 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-
Hee is given, the undersigned, a, "GENERAL
SUBSCRIPTION AGENT," 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 List 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 AsZociations 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
quently exceeding three millions daily, and it is
well known that the Secretary of tho Treasury has
ample and unfailing resources in the Duties on
Imports and Internal Revenuei, and in the issua of
the Interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes,
it is almost a certainty that he will not find it ne
cessary, for a long time to come, to seek a market
for any other long or permanent Loans, THE IN
TEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF WHICH ARE PAY
ABLE IN GOLD.
Prudence und 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-
Berthing to this most popular Loan. It will soon
be beyond their reach, and advance to a handsome
premium, as was the result. with the "Seven Thirty"
Leah, when it was all sold and could no longer be
subscribed for at. par..
IT 1S A SIX PER CENT LOAN, THE INTEREST
AND PRINCIPAL PAYABLE IN COIN, TifUS
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 duties for a long time past
amounted to over a Quarter of a Million of Dollars
daily, a snm nearly three times greater than that
required in the payment of the interest on all the
6-20's and other permanent 'Loans. Su that it is
hoped that the simptus Coin in the Treasury, at no
distant dav, will enable the United States to resume
specie payment's upon all liabilities.
The Loan is called 5-20 from the fact that Bonds
may run for 20 nava. yet the Government has a
right to pay them tar in cold at par, at any time
after 5. years.
THE INTEREST TS PAID HALF-1 EARLY, viz:
on the - first dsys of November and May.
Subicribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are,
payable to bearer, and .are $5 ,, , $lOO. $5OO, and
$1000; or Registered Bonds of same deaomina
tionst and in addition, $5,000, and $lO,OOO. For
Banking purposes and for investments of Trust
monies the itegietered Bonds are preferable.
Theses-20's onn be taxed by States, citte•, towns,
of counties. and the Government. tax on them is
only one-and•a-half per cent.. on the amount of in
eewie, when the income of the holder exceeds Six.
Hundred dollars per annum; all other investments
such as income from Mortgages, Railroad Stook,
and Beads, etc., must pay from three to five per
sent. tax on the income.
Banks 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 Bona is una,voidab'e.tho demand being•
.se great; but as interest commences from the day
of subscription, no loss is occasioned, and every
effort is being made to diminish the delay.

The Great,
AMERICAN TEA COMPANY,
51 Vary Street, Yew Pork;
Since ita organization, has created a new era in the
history of •
Wholesaling Teas in this Country
They have introducel their selections of Teas, and
are selling them at not over Two Cents (.02 Cents)
per pound above Cost, never deviating from the OSE
PRICE asked.
Another peculiarity of the company is that their
TEA TASTER not only devotes his time to the selec
tion of their Teas es'to quality, value, and particu
lar stylet for particular localities of - country, but he
helps the TEA buyer to choose out of their enormous
stock such TEAS as are best adapted to his peculiar
wants, and not only this, but points out to him the
best bargains. lt. is easy to see the incalculable ad
vantage a TEA Bu ea has in this establishment over
all others. If he is no judge of TEA, or the MARKET.
if his time is valuable, he has all the benefits of a well
organized system of doing business, of nn immense
capital, of the judgment of a professional Tea:Taster,
and the knowledge of superior salesmen.
This enables all Tea' buyersno matter if they
are thousands of miles from this market—to pur
chase on as good terms here as the New York mer-
chants
Parties can order Teas and will be served by us
as well as though they came themselves, being sure
to get original packages. true weights and •tares;
and the Teas are warranted ns represented.
We issue a Price List of the. Company's. Teas,
which will be sent to all who order it; comprising
Hyson, Young Hyson, Imperial; Gun
powder, Twankay and Skip.
Oolong, Sono/tong, Orange and Hyson Peko,

scription and the prices annexed that. the Company
are determined to undersell the whole Ted trade.
We guarantee to sell all our Teas at not over
TWO CENTS (.02 Cents) per pound above cost, be
lieving this to be attractive to the many who have

New Settlement of Vineland.
A EMEDY FOR HARD TIMES.
A Rare Opportunity in the Bed 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 in the Garden Slate
of New Jersey.
It consists of 20,000 acres of GOOD land, divided
into Farms of different sizes to suit the purchaser—
rxou 20 ACRES AND uPwAnns—and is sold at the rate
of from $l5 to $2O per acre for the farm land, pay
able one-fourth dash, 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 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. 7 --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 day, }ding only thirty-two
miles from th ela tt er. 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
marktt 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,.wbat 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. lie is near his old friends and
associations. He has school for 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 arc 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 at Hand.—Building 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?—
This question the reader naturally asks. It is be
cause itlas 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
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 of
land at a small price, and earn more than wades in
improving it, and when it is done it is a certain in
dependence and no toss. A few acres in fruit trees
will insure a comforta'Sle 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 tine and spacious al-en
tice, with t town in the centre—five acre lots in the
town sell at from $l5O to $200; two and a-half acre
lots, at from $BO to $l2O, and town lots 50 feet front
by 150 feet deep, at sloo—payable one-half cash
and the balance within a year. It is only upon
farms of twenty acres, or more, that four years'
time is given.
To Manufacturers, the town itfords a fine opening
for the Shoe manufacturing business, and other ar
ticles, being near Philadelphia, and the surrounding
country has a large pcipulation, 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 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.
Large numbers of people are purchasing, and the
people who desire the best location should visit the
place at once.
Improved Land is also for sale.

Tribune, in reference to Vineland
read this report with interest.
Advantages of Farming near Home—Vineland—Re
marks upon Marl—Soil, its great Fertility—The
Cause et' Fertility—Amount of Crops Produced—
Practical Evidence.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts,
in an almost level position, and suitable condition Jot
pleasant farming Mat we know of this side of the west
ern prairies. We found some of the oldest farms appar
ently just as profitable productive as when first cleared
of forest fifty or a hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this
continued fertility. The whole country is a marine
deposit, find all tlrough 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 marly substance is scattered all through the
soil, iu a very comminuted form, and in the exaot
condition most easily assimilated by such plasants
the farmer desires to cultivate
Marl, in :Al its formS, has been used to fertilise
crops in England, from the time it was occupied by
the Romans; and in France and Germa.ny a marl
bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that
can be dug and carted and spread oTer the field.—
How much more valuable then it must he, when found
already mixed through the soil, where new particles wilt
be turned up and exposed, and transformed to the owner's
use every time he stirs the earth.
Having then satisfied our minds of the cause, 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 unrenutnerative oxcept
as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil-
ization
A few words about the quality and -value of this
lams 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 hliilville, 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. lie
also furnished slated? . miles cf 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 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 1 1 bushels;
and then the ground was sown to clover and timothy,
which gave as a first crop 21 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 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 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, 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, even unaided
by clover, which had fed the corn, becausetbe '•track
patch" had not been in cultivation long enough t•
obliterate all signs of the forest.
Our next visit was to the large farm of Andrew
Sharp,-five miles north of lliillville, 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 1ty.40 feet, and
a smaller house for farm laborers, and a stable and
granary and some oilier 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 30 bushels per acre, harvested in
November; when the land being sowed with 1501bs
of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12
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 iG 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, and 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
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 ever
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 ()lover, yielded and average of over
15 bushels pen 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 !!tut
corn, and the second crop 40 bushels, and the third
crop, treated to 150Ibs_ of guano, we are sure no
one would estimate below 40 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

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
