IHE Secretary of the Treasury hat not yet given .11. notice of any intention to withdraw this pop ular Loan from Sale at Par, and unil ten days no- tioe is. given, the undersigned, as "GENERAL SUBSCRIPTION AGENT:," 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 deniand for use as the bags, for cifouls, tion'bv National. Banking Associations now organ izing in all parts of the country. will, in ayery short period, absorb the balance. Sales havelate ly ranged from ten to fifteen 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 issu a of the Interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is almost a certainty that he will not find it no oos.sary, for a larg time to come, to seek a market (kir any other long nr pernianent Loans, THE IN TEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF WHICH ARE PAY ABLE IN GOLD. Prudence told self-interest must force the minds of these contemplating the, formation of National I.lattking 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 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 :ein. The Government requires all duties on imports to he paid in Gold these duties 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 fi-20's and other permanent Loans. So that it is hoped that the 'Barons Coin in the Treasury, at. uo distant. thy, will enable the United States to resume specie payments upon all liabilities. The Loan is celled 5-20 from the fact that Bonds may run for '2O 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: on the first days of November and May. Subscribers can have Coupon Beads, which are payable to bearer, and are $5"l. $lOO. $5OO. and $1000; or Registered Bonds of same denomina tions, and in addition. $5,000, and $lO,OOO. For Banking purposes and for investments of Trust monies the Registered Bends are preferable. Theses-20'•s can be taxed by States, cities, towns, of counties, and the Government tax on them is only one-and-a-half per cent.. on the amount of in come, when the income of the bolder exceeds Six Hundred dollars per annum : all other investments such as income from Mortgages, Railroad Stock and Bonds, eto., must pay from three to five per cent. tax on the income. Banks and Bankers throughout. the Country will continue to dispose of the [fonds; and all orders by mail. or otherwise promptly attended to. The inconvenience of a few days' delay in the delivery of .130n , 1s is unavoidable. the demand being so greet ; but as interest commences from the day of subscription, no loss is oceasioned, and every effort is being made to diminish the delay.

In respect to the sea 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.

In this location it can be put into market the same morning it. is gathered, and for what the farmer sells lie gets the highest price: whilst groceries and other articles he purchases be gets at the lowest price.. In the West, what he sells brings him a pittance, but for what he buys ho pays: two prices. In locating here the settler has many other advantages. lie 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 iidelightful ; the winters being sa lubrious and open, whilst the summers era 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 climatejuni its bracing influence, makes it excellent for all pulmonary affections, dyspepsia or general debility. Visitors will notice a difference in a few days. chili: and fevers are unknown. Conveniences rzt 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 1- 7 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 this 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 thifig is Hard Times, where people have been thrown out of employment. or business, and possess some little means or small incomes, is to :tart l'henuelves it home. They can buy a piece of land at. a small price, and earn more than wei N es in improiring it, and whea it is done it is a certain in dependence and no orts. A few acres in fruit trees will insure a eomfortale living. The land is put down to hard• times, and all improvements can be made at a ches v er rate than most. any other time.

All persons CM read this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near Iforno—Vinels.nd—Be marks upon Marl—Soil, its great Fertility—The Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crops Produced— Practical Evidence, It is certainly one of the most extensive farniie tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming that we know of tide side of the west ern prairies. We found some of the oldest fame appor enay just iur 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 marina deposit, and all through the soil we found evidence of calcareous substances. generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinot forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation ; and this nearly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form. and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such planets 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 GerroLny a marl bed is count ed on as a valuable bed of manure, that can he dug and carted and spread over the field.— How much more valuable then it must be, when Angell already mired through the soil, where 11810 particles wild 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 semis general characteristies or at least appeafances, is entirely unrenumerative except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil ization. A few words about the quality end 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 iota, eight. miles north of .11E11 , 611e, aboutthree years ago, for the purpose of establishing a Ate= mill, to work up the timber into lumber, to send off by the new railroad, as well as the firewood and coal, for which be built a branch track a utile and a half long. He also furnished sixteen miles of the road with ties, and has no doubt. made the mill profitable, though Lis 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 - 4 . 5 buahels.— The potatoes were dug, and wheat sown. and yield ed V bushels; and the stubble turned under and sown to buckwheat, which yielded :33i bushels ; and then theground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop 2 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 eltiver since it was mowed, and turned in for wheat. Mr. Wilsoti'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, thet we slopped to inquire of the hirwd man how it was produced. We found that the hind had been the year but one before in wheat, ISONY4 with clover, and this cut one season, and last spring plowed once, with one "poor old nag,';-rand planted With corn. "Yes, but you manured high. we suppose ?" vte 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, Stc., 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 bad fed the coin, because the "truck patch" had not been - in cultivation 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>. 111 r. Sharp commenced work here iu December, 1858, upon 270 acres. In less than three years, he vhas ; 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 at $0 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 150 lbs of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded P.! to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The ryetstubble 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, and found the clover and timothy, from Ee• e d sowed last spring, on the wheat without harrowing, looking as well as weever saw it, upon any old cultivated farm, and with a lit-, tle work done in the wintir 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 A. L. IRWIN. JAMES M. IRWIN Iteport of Solon Robinson. Or TITS N6TY 'MK& TRIIITNE, VAR year with a mowing machine, and we will guarantee two tans per acre, if he will give the overplus if it over_ 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.
