Sub scriptions to these Bonds are received 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 lea: than ten nor more than forty year: 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 convenientjor commercial uses. Subscribers to this loan will have the option of having their Bonds draw interest from March-lst, by payinittie accrued interest in coin—(or itiUtti 'led 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 deposit. As these Bonds are Exempt from State or Municipal Taxation, their value le increased from one to three per cent. per annum, according to the rate of tax levies in, 'vergotis parts of the country. . At• the present rate of premium on gold they pay OVER - EIGHT PER CENT:INTEREST in currency, and are of equal convenience as a per manent 'or temparary investment. It is believed that no securities offer so great in ducements to lenders as the various descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness,, the faith or ability of private parties or stock com panies or 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 coin. These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from $5O 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 moment., and the holder will have the benefit of the interest. It may be useful to slate 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, 1364. was $768,975,000. The interest on this debt fer the coining fiscal year will be $45,937,120, while the customs revenue in gold for the current fiscal year. ending Jane 30th, 1804, has been so far at. the rate of over $100,000,060 per annum. It will be seen that, even the present gold men ties of the Government are largely in excess of the wants of ihe , Treastiry for the payment of gold in terest, While the recent incronse of the tariff will dotibtless raise the R 7 1 ,1111111 receipts from customs on the same amount of importation:, to $150,000,- 000 per annum: Instructions to the National Banks acting as loan agents were not , issued from the United States Treasury until March 26, but in the first three weeks af 'April the 'subscriptions averaged more thin TEN MILLIONS A WEEK.

THE Secretary of the Treasury has not yet given notice of any intention to withdraw this pop-' tiler Loan:from Sale at Par, and until ten days no . - Hee is given, the undersigned, ,a' GENER AL . SUBSCRIPTION MIEN r," 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 forcireults tion by National Banking Associations now organ ising in all parts of the country. will, id a Very short period, absorb the balance. Sales have late ly ranged from ten to fifteen millions weekly, fre quently eiceeding three millions daily, and it is well keawn that the Secretary of the Treasury has ample and unfailing resources in the Dutiei on imports and , lnternal Revenues, and in the lash,' of the Interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Nni es, it is almost a ;certainty that he will not find it ne cessary, for a bog time to come, to seek a market for any other long or permanent Loans, THE IN TEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF WHICH ABLE PAY ABLE IN GOLD. Prudence end 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 handsome premium, as teas the result with the "Seven Thirty" Loan„witendt . was all sold and could no longer he subscribed for at par. Pl' 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 min. The Qoverinnent requires all duties on imports to be pnid in .Gold ; these. duties for a long tiino past amounted to over a Quarter of a Million of Dollars daily, a sum' nearly three tithes greater than that required in the payment of the interest on all the 5-20's and other permanent Loans. So that it is hoped that the surplus Coin In the Treasury, at no distant day, witl enable t he United States to resume specie payments upon all liabilities. Tho Loan ie called 5-20 from the fact that Bonds may run for 20 years, yet the Government has a right to pay then off, in Gold at par, at, any time after 5 years. THE INTEREST IS PAID HALE , YEARLY, on the first days of November and May. Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are pajtable • to bearer, and are $5O, $lOO, $5OO, .and $1000; or . Registered Bonds of came iigiomitia tiona and in addition. $5,000, sail SIO,UOO. For Banking purposes and for investments ef Trust, monies the Registered Bonds are preferable. Theses-20's can-be taxed by States, cit.te, towns, of counties, and the Government .t4,on them is only One-and-a-half per cent.. on the aniount of in come...when the income of'the holder exceeds Six ; Hundred dollars per annum; all other investtnents such as income from Mortgages, Ruitmad Stock 'and Bonds, etc., must . pay from three to fire per cent. tax on the income-. Hanks and Bankers throughout the Country will continue to , dispose of the Bonds; and ell orders by Mail. or otherwise promptly attended to. The inconvenience of a few daytt: delay in the delivery of Bonds 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.

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 asiociations.

SALE BILLS , PRINTED HERE, NEATLY AND CHEAP Report of Solon Robinson, OF THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, UPON THII VINELAND SETTLEMENT ,124.1- . : The following is an extract from Ciao report of Solon Robinson, Esq., published in the Now York Tribune, in reference to Vineland. All persons can read this report with interest. Advantages of Farming. near Home—Vineland—Re 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 fertile frosts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming that 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 steered of forest filly or a hundred years ago. The geologist. would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through 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 manly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plasaats the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl, in all its forms, has been need to fertilise crops in England, from the time it was occupied by the Romans ; and in France and Germi.ny a marl bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that _can be dug and carted and spread over the Sold.— How much more valuable then it must be, when found already mixed through Me soil, where new partioles will be turned up and exposed, and transformed to As owner's use every time he stirs the earth. Having then satisfied our minds of thaeause, they will not be excited with wonder at seeing indubitable evidence of fertility in a soil which in ether situa tions, having the same general characteristics or et least appearances, is entirely unrenumermive except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil ization. A cow words about the quality and value of this lanu 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 whloh 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 for cultivation. In this he has not been disappointed, as sonic 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 Ittekwheat,' which yielded 331 bushels; and then the ground was sown to clover and . timothy ) which gave as a first crop 2+ tons per acre. The fertilizers applied to these crops wore 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 is for Wheat. Mr. Wilson's growing crops, and the wheat stub ble of the present season, all indicate hia land as produetive 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, thatwe stopped to inquiry of the hired man how it was produced. We found that the land ,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 iwe hadn't but-forty one.lorse loads altogether, far 23 acres, and wo wanted the most on't for the truck. ; The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbsge, cucumbers, melens,, ttc., and a yery productive pateh of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that the Soil was not. infertile, even unaided by clover,-which hadted the COTll, , becßuseihe "truck patch" bad 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 hiillville, from half to a mile east. of -the railroad, 'and- just about 'in the cea tre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp- commenced work: here in December, 1858, upon 270 acres. In loss than . three se:irs,. he has-'got 234 acrep cleared' and in crops this season, as well inclosed and divided into several fields, with cedar rail or ' T pole.lence f has built. a two-story dwelling. about 86 . -by`4o feet, toad` &smaller house. for farm laborers, and astable' and granary and some other outbuildings.- • - Considerable 'part of the land - was cleared•fOr'flie plow at S 9 amacre,' and on some of •it the-first 'crap was buckwheat, limed with 50 bushels, in powder per acre.
