badly, and of course arresting his progress. He at once culled out that he was mortally wounded M r . BLONAKER went up to him, while LATSITAW pur sued his horse, and the prisoner told him that he was fatally injured—that he could not live long, and at once admitted that he was a rebel spy, and MO met a just fate. He gave his name as atm, a nd stated that he had been in this section making o bservations for the benefit of the rebels. Ile is a man of about forty years of age, stoutly built, with dark hair and goatee, is quite intelligent n od has evidently not been a laboring man. It is more than probable that he is a rebel officer. On bin person was found a belt with nearly $lOO of gold, and be had Chattanooga and yirginia rebel mo ney, and a little Pennsylvania currency. He represents himself as a native of Lee county, Va., but says that he has lived in Missouri for some years, and was about to return to Lee county. He bad a letter, with the date and place where it was written torn off, which refers to a journey to be undertaken, and certain information to be conveyed bait it furnishes no clue to parties in complicity with him. He bad also a Cincinnati paper of the 28th ultimo in his pocket, from which we think it prob able that he peened through that place several week's ago. He was in' this town' a few days before he was arrested; tried to sell some gold at the Bank, and very carefully scanned a map of the county hang ing in the Bank. His thigh wound is very serious, but not none. sarily mortal, and his recovery is altoketheeproba. ble. Had ltits - woUnd been less dangertiusi it might have been difficult to gather sufficient evidence to warrant holding him as a spy, but when he was shot he supposed he was about to die, and be ad mitted his piirpose and Inisiinesis frankly. Ile is now in the' Hospital in this place, in the custody of Gen. Conon, and will, we learn, be sent to Fort Mifflin as scion as he recovers sufficiently to be re moved.

Sub scriptions to these Bonds are reeeived in United States notes or notes of National Banks. They are TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the Government, at any period not lean than ten nor more than forty years from their date, and until their redemption FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN, on Bonds of not over one hun dred dollars annually and on all other Bonds semi annually. The interest is payable on the first days of March and September in each year. Subscribers will receive either Registered or Cou pon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are recorded on the books of the U. S. Treasurer, and can be transferred only on the owner's order. Coupon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more convenient for commercial uses. Subscribers to this loan will have the option of hatng their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying the accrued interest in coin—(or in Uni ted States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent. for premium,) or receive them drawing interest from the date of subscription and leposit. As these Bonds are Exempt from State or Mun icipal Taxation, their value is increased from one to three per cent. per annum, according to the rate of tax levies in various parts of the country. At the present rate of premium on gold they pay OVER EIGHT .:PER CENT. INTEREST in currency, and ire of equal convenience as a per manent or iemporary inveetnient. , iris beliweed that no securities offer so great in ducements to lenders as the various descriptions of U. S. Bonds In all other "feints of indebtedness, the faith.or ability of - private parties or stock cora oy,separate:communities only is pledged ,for payment, while for the debts of the United States the whole property of the country is holden to se cure the payment of both principal and interest in IMG! These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from $.50 up to any magnitude, on the'same terms, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and ;the largest. capitalist. They can be con verted into money at any Mornint, and the holder will have the benefit of the interest. ' It may be useful to state in this connection that the total Funded Debt of the United States on which interest is payable in gold, on the 3d day of March, '1864. Wail $789 975,000. The interest on this debt far the coining fiscal year will be $45,937,126, while the customs revenue in gold for the current fiscal year, ending J line 80th, .1864, has been so far at the rate of over $100,000,080 per annum. It will : be seen that even the presentgold reven ues of the Government are largely in excess of the wants of the Treasury for the payment of, gold in . terest, while the recent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the annual receipts from customs on the same, amount of importations, -to $150,000,- 000 per annum.

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, ihe undersigned, a. "GENERAL SUBSCRIPTION AGENP," will continue to supply the public. The whole amount of the Loan authorized is Five Hunlred Millions of Dollars. NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED MILLIONS HAVE BEEN ALREADY SUBSCRIBED FOR AND PAID. INTO THE TREA SURY, nosily within the last seven months. The large demand from abroad, and the rapidly increas ing heme deinand for use as the basis for circuia tion by National Banking Associations, Ow organ:. izing in, all parts of the country. 10'11, in a very short period, absorb the balance. Sales have late ly ranged from ten to fifteen millions weekly, fre xiently 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 lie 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, awa ARE PAY ABLE IN GOLD. Prudence had 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 . scribing to this most popular Loan. It will soon be beyond their reach, and advance to a handsoine premium, as was the result with the "Seven Thirty" Loan, 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 rain. 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 tittles greater - than that required in the payment of the interest. on all the 5-20's and other permanent Loans. Se that it is hoped that the surplus 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 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 Bonds, which are payable to bearer, and are $5l, $lOO. P5OO, and $1000; or Registered Bonds 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. These 5-20's can be taxed by States, eine.. towns, oi'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 holder exceeds Six Hundred dollar's per annum; all other investments such as income from Mortgages, Railroad Stuck and Bonds, etc., must pay from three to five per cent. tar 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 Bon's is unavoideb!e. 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.

A Rare Opportunity in the But 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 as Best in the Garden State of New Jersey. It consists of 20,000 acres of GOOD land, diviied into Farms of different sizes to suit the purchaser— FROM 20 ACRES AND UPWARDS—and is sold at the rate of from $l5 to $2O per sere 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 Uioh 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 /Waffle, and the well-known agriculturist, William Parry, of. Cinnaminson, New Jersey, which will be tarnished 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 a day, kaing only thirty-two miles from the latter. Producer 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 aells 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 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 in the North. The location is upon the tine 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 excellentlor all pulmonary affections, dyspepsia or general debility. Visitors will notice a difference in a few days. Chills and fevers are unknown. , Conveniences at Iland.—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 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 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 sLemployment or business, and possess some little ns or small incomes, is to start themselves a home. They can buy a. piece of land at. a small, price, and earn more than wiles in improvitig it, and it - hen it is done it is a certain in dependence and no Kies. A few acres in fruit trees will insure a comfortable. living. The land is put down to hard r times, and all improvements can be made at a cheegsr 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, town in the centre—five acre lots in the town soli a,,'rom $l5O to $200: two and a-half acre lots, at from $BO to $l2O, and town lots 50 feet front by feet deep, at $lOO--payable one-half cash and balance within a year. It is only upon farms of twen,ty acres, or more, that four years' time, is. given. TO Mcinufneturere, fi l e 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.

All persons eau re: Al this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near lionte--Vineland—Be marks upon Marl—s3il. if 9 great. Fertility—The Cause of Fertility—Autount. of Crops i'reducod— Practical Evidence. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level potilion, and suitable conditiox for pleasamt farming that me know of this Melt of the west ern prairies. We found some of the °Wit farms appar ently just as profitable productive as when first cleared 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, and all through the soil vte found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, snowing 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 plasants the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl, in all its terms, bas been 'mod to fertilise crops in England, from the time it. was ocoupied by the Romans; and in France and Crernitmy a marl bed is couuted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the geld.-- Row much more valuable then it must be, when found already mired through the soil, where new particles still be turned up and exposed, and traneformed to the owner's use ei:ery time he stirs the earth, Baring 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 et least appearances, is entirely unrenumerative except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil isation. A Few words about the quality and value of this bunt for cultivation, of which we have some strong proof. Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklin towaship,.Gloucester county, who purehaged some eight miles north of Jlillville, about three years ago, for the purpose of est abliahing 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 fur 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 emits 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 bushele.— The potatoes' were dug. anti wheat sown, and yield ed 16 bushels; and the stubble turned under and sown to buckwheat, which yielded 334- bushels; and then the ground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop 2 : 1- tens per acre. The fertilizers applied to these crops were firat, ashes from clearings: Second, 225 pounds of super phosphate Of lime; third. '2OO 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 at 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 tine appearance of a field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the Liras man how it was produced. Wo found that the land had been the year but one before in wheat, mown with clover, and this cut oue season, and last sprigg. 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 33 acres, end we wanted the most on't for the truck. The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, melons, Sze., and a very productive patch of Lima beans, krown for marketing. So we were satisfied. that the soil was not infertile, even unaided, by clover, which had fed the corn, becauSe the .truck patch" had not been in eultivatka 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 mile east of_the railroad, and just about in the cot 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-Tole fence; has built, a two-story dwelling, about 36 by 40 feet, and a smaller house for farm laborers, and astable and granary and some other out. buildings. Considerable part of the land was cleared for s ths ,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 Noveinber when the'land being sowed with 150Ths of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12 to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw.
