Searetary of the Treasury has not yet given 1
• notice of any intention to withdraw this pop
ular Loan from, Sala at Par, and until ten days no
tice is given, the nndersigned, a.. "GENERAL
SUBSOILIPVGN AglitNT," will continue to supply
the public.
The whistle amount of the Limn authorized is Five
Hundred 'Millions of Dollars. NFAltitY FOUR
HUNDRED MILLIONS HAVE BWRN 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 pf the country, will, in a very
short period, absorb the balance., Sales have late
ly ranged froptlen to - fifteen millions wee4ly, fre
quently exceeding three millions daily, and it is
well known that the Secretary of the Treastiry has
ample and unfailing resources In the Dulias on
Imports and Internal Revenues, and in the issua of
the Interest bearing Legal Tender'Treasury Notes,
it is almost a certainty that he -will not Anfl it. ne,
cessary, for a long time to come, to seek a market
for any other long or permanent beans, THE IN
TEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF IV HIC 11 A dR PAY
ABLE IN GOLD.
Prudence and self-interest mitst force tbe minds
of those enntemplating the formation of National
Banking Associations, as well as the minds of eli
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 handsothe
premium, as was the result with the "Seven Thirty"
Loan, when it was 411 sold arid could no longer be
subscribed for at par.
IT IS A SIX PER CENT LOAN, TIII3 INTEREST
AND PRINCIPAL PAYABLE IN 001 N. TItUS
YIELDING ONrEII NINE PER CENT. PER ANNUM
at the present. rate of premium on loin..
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 sum nearly three times greater than that
reqniteil in the payment of the interast An all the
5-20's and ether permanent Loans, lip that it is
hoped that the surplus Corn in the Tre4sery, at. no
distant. d:ty, will enable the United States to resume
specie payments upon all liabilities. .
Tim Loan is called 5-20 from the fact that, Bonds
may run for 20 leers, yet the Government has a
right to pay them off in Gold at par, at any time
after 5 years.
THE INTEREST IS PAID HAT.F-YEA.RLY, viz:
on the first, days of November apd May.
Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are
payable, to bearer, and ape sst', $lOO, $5OO, arty
$1000; or Registered Iletnis of same denomina
tions and in addition. $5,000. and $.1.0,000. For
Banking purposes and for investments of Trust,
monies the Registered Bonds are.preferable.
Theses-20's can be, tair,ed by States, cities, towns,
of counties, and the (lovernment tax on them is
only one-and-a-half per cent_ on the amount of in
come. when the income of the holder exceeds Six
Hundred dollars per annum; all other investments
such as income from Mortgages, Railroad Stock
and Bonds. etc.. must pay ft-pm threp to five per
cent.. tax on the income.
Banics and Bankers throughout the hountry'will
continue to disposc of the Bonds; and all orders
by mail. or otherwise promptly attended to.
The inconvenience of a few days' delay in the
delivery tf Bqpds is punvoidable. the demand being
so great; 'hut as interest commences from the day
of embscrip,tion, no loss is oce.asioned. gt;tl @Vary
effort is 'neing made to diminish the delay.

A EMEDY FOR HARD TIMES,
A Rare Opportunity in the But Narita, and Most De

thirty miles South of Philadelphia. on a Railroad;
being a Rich, Heavy Sail, and Highly Productive

of New Jersey:
It consists of 20,000 serea of G DOD laml, dici . led

FROM 20 Atin.4B AND UPWARDS—and is sold at the rate
of from SIG to $2,0 per• acre for the farm land, pay
able one-fourth cash, and thp 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 midi' lettllt, suitable for corn, sweet-potatoes.
tobacco, h. 1 kinds of vegetables and root crops. and
the finest varieties of fruit, such as Grapes, Pears,
Peaches, 4pricots, Nectarines, Blackberries, Melons
and - other fruits, beat 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 ail in the Union.
• [See Reports of Solon Robinson, Esq., of the
New York Tribase, and the well-known agripnlturist,
William Parry, of Cinnaminson, New Jersey, which
will be furnislted inquirers.]
The ilarket.—By looking over a map the MOT
will perceive that it enjoys the best market in the Un
ion, and has direct communication with New York
and Philadelphia twice a day, l-ting only thipty-ttve
miles from thelnder. Produce Ke this market. brings
Idouble the price that it does in locations distant
. frorn the cities. In this location it can be pitt into
I market the same morning it is gathered, awl 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 pities of New England and
the Middle States. Ile is pear his old friends and
associations. He has schuol for his children, di-
Ivine service, and all the advantages of civilisation,
and be is near a large 'city,
The Climate is delightful i the winters being sa
lubribus and open, whilst the summers are no warm
er than in the North. The location is upon the
line of latitude with-northerp
. .
Persons Wanting a change pf 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 fiebility. Visitors will notice a difference in
a few days. Chills and fetters are unknotca.'
Conveniences at Hand.—BuNing material is plen
ty. Vigil and oysters are plenty and cheap.
Visitors-must expect., however, to see a new place.
Why the Property has not been Settled Before?—
Tills question the reader naturally asks. It is be
cans° 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 °ported through the property this season, for
the. first time.
Visitors are shown over the land in a carriage,
free of espouse, and afforded time and opportunityfor therm - 10 investigation. Those who come with
a view to settle, should being money to secure their
purchases, as locations ape not. held upon refusal.
The Safest thiq• in hard Times, where people
have been thrown nut 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, anti earn More than wa d es in
improving it, and Nhen it, is done it is a certain in
dependence and no ,see. A few acres iu fruit trees
will insure a comfortable living. The land is put
down to: hard. times,.-and all improvements can be
Si.made a.chesor rate than most any other time.
The Whole tract, with six miles front ow the rail
road, is beinglaid out with fine and Spabious evenues, with 7. town in the centre—five acre lots in the,
town seli-m, from $l5O to $2OO ; two and a4talf acre
lots, at,frorit $BO to $l2O, and, town lots 50 feet front
by 1;0 feet deep; at sloopayable one-half cash
and L. 1.9 balance within a year. It is qnly upon
farms of twenty aerss, or more, that four years'
time is given.
To Manufacturers, the town affords a fine opening
far 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 kite 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
w'h'ich 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. .

The geologist would soon discover the cause of this
continued fertility. The whole country is a marina
deposit, and all through the soil we fotind 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, twd itt the exact
condition most easily assimilated by such plasams
the farmer desires to cultivate.
Marl, in all its forms, hits been need to fertilize
crops in England, from the limo it was occupied by
the Romans; and in France and Gernu.ny a marl
bed is counted pa as a valuable bed of manure, !hat

Having then sal ittfied our minds of the en use, 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 it
least appearances, is entirely itnrenomerative frx cep t
as its productiyonoss is promoted by artificial fertil
ization.
A Few worqs about the quality and value of this
lam ' for cultivittion, of whlgh. we havp some strong
proof.
Oor first Vielt was to William P. Wilson, Franklin
township, Glotheester county, who purchased some
eight miles north of Ilillville, about three years ago,
for the purpose pf 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 utile and a half long. He
also furnished sixteen toiler of the rpad with ties.
and has no doubt made the mill profitable, thought
his main object was to open a farm, hiving become,
convinced that the soil was valuable for cultivation.
In this he has net 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 856 builiela
of oats. In one field, the first crop was potatoes,
planted among the roots, and yielded "f 5 bushels.—
The potatoes were dug, and wheat sown. and yield
ed 16 bushels;
and the stubble turned under and
sown to buckwheat, which yielded
,831 bushels;
and then theground was sown to elevef and timothy,
which gave as a first prop 2l tons per acre.
The fertilizers applied to these crops were first,
ashes front clearings ; second, 225 poiipds of super:.
phosphate of lime; third, - 200 pounds Peruvian p
an° ; then 50 bushels of slaked lime hap been spread
upon the clover since it was munied, and turned in
for wheat. • -- •
Mr. Wilson's growing
. crops, and the wheat stub
ble of the present Beaton, 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 bire4
man how it was produced. We found that tho laud
had been the, year but one before in wheat, sown
with clover, and this cut one season, and lest spring
plowed once, with ono ttpoor old nag," and planted
with corn. •
"Yes, but you manqped high, we suppose T" wo
said interrogatively, and got this reply ;—•
"Waal, you see, we couldn't .a done - that; 'cause
we hadn't hut fort ougt-horse lop,tis altogether, fer
2S acres, and we wanted the moat on't for the. truck.
The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage,
cucumbers,tnelons, s l;e., and a very productive patch
of Lima beans, growp for - marketing. So we were
satisfied that the soil was not infertile, even unaided
by clover, which had fed the corn, heeause the "truck
patch" had not been in cultivatica long enough to
obliterate all signs of the forest.
Our nest visit was to the large farm of _Andrew
Sharp; five miles north of Millville. from half to e.
mile east of the railroad, and ,just "about in the ees
tre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work here
in December. 1858, upon 270 acres. In less than
three years, he Les got. 284 acres cleared •and in
crops this season, as well inelesed'enddivided into
several fields, with cedar rail or role fence; has
built a two-story dwelling, abput 06 by 40 feet, and
a smaller house for farmlaborers, and a stable and
granary and some ether out buildipgs:
Considerable part of theland was cleared for the
plow at $9 an acre, and an some of it the first crop
was buckwheat, limed with 50 bushels in powder
per acre. This crop tea r y he pit in July 4th to 20th,
and yields 20 to 80 bushels per acre, harvested in
November; when the land bow sowed with 1501bs
of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12
to 15 bushels per acre and Sit/worth pf straw. The
ryelst übble turned, after knocking oft' a large growl h
of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano and
seeded to wheat, gavels 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 seed sowed last sprug, on the
wheat, withOpbharrowing, looking aswell Owe ever
saw it uvqp any old cultivated . farm, and with a lit
tle work 'dope in the winter to clear off some roots
and :rotten stomps, and setting stakes to mark per
manent ones, hp will be able to cut the crop the 'text
year with a Mowing machine, and ice will guarantee
two tons per acre, if he will gripe the overplue if it over
mans the eetiotate.
Part of the land, was planted with petatees for t
first crop, which yielded 120 busbeLe per sere. It
Was then limed with 50 bushels per acre, and seeded
with wheat ahtt clover, yielded and average Of over
15 bushels per acre, and the clover now leeks beau
tiful. •
Other portions have bon planted with corn as a
first crop. whit yielded 80 bushels of yellow "_tatcorn, mid the Mond prop 40 bushels, and the third
crop, treated ttilso.lbs. Of ghapo, we are sure no
one would estimate below 40 bushels per acre.
