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 less than ten nor more than forty years from their date, and until their , redemption FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST WILL t BE PAID IN COIN, on Bonds of not over one ltun • 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. e Subscribers will receive either Registered or Con t 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. d Coupon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more convenient for commercial uses. Subscribers to this loan will have the option of having their Bonds draw, interest from March ]st, by paying the accrued interest in coin(or in Uni ted States notes, or the notes of National Banks, - adding fifty per cent for promium,) or receive them le drawing interest from the date of subscription and ieposit. As these Bonds are - Exeivf from State or Municipal Taxation, their value is increased from one to three per cent. 4"• per annum, aceordiug to the rate of tax. levies in various parts of the country. • • At lherpiesent rate of pftmium on gold they pay OVER EIGHT PER CENT.

The interest on this debt ha far the coming fiscal year will be $15,937,126, o f while the customs revenue in gold for the current fiscal year, ending J tine Nth, 1804, has been so far at the rate of over $100,000.000 per annum.

A Rare Opportunity in the Best Market, and Most De lightful and Healthful Climate in the Union. Only thirty miles - South of Philadelphia. on a Railroad; belay .a Rich, Heavy Soil, and Highly Productive Wheat Land; Amongst the Best in the Garden State of New Jersey. 1t consists of- 20,000 acres of GOOD land, divHed 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 acre 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 Rich Clay Loam, suit able for Wheat, Orass 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, hest adapted to . the Philadelphia and New Yerk Markets. In respect to‘the soil end 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.---By looking over a map the reader will perceive that it enjoys the bait market in the Un ion, and has direct communication with New York and Philadelphia twice a day, being only thirty-two miles from the latter. 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 -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 lie 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 cities of New England and the Middle States. Ile is near his old friends and - associations. Ile has school for his children, di vine service, and all the advantages of civilization, and he is near a largo 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 line of laiitude.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. Visitoys will notice ft 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. IV/iy the .Property lies not been Settled Before 7 This question the reader naturally asks. It is beT. 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 ha's jest. 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 Titnes,-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 it-piece of land at. a small price and, earn more than wa g es in improving it, and when it is done it is 'a certain in dependence and no 1.345. A few acres in fruit trees Will insure a comfortable living. The land is put down to hard4imes, 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 fine and spacious ovenues, with z town in the centre—five acre lots in the town sell arr.= $l5O to $2OO ; two and ti-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 . Lie balance within a year. It is only upon farms of twenty acres, or more, that four year* time is given. To Manufacturers, the 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. 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. . `lt 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 following is an extract from the report of Solon Robinson, Esq., published iu the New I ork Tribune, in reference to - Vineland. All persona can read this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near Home—Vineland—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 fertile tracts, 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 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, and all through the soil we found evidences ",calcareous substances, generally in the form of 'rated calcareous marl, showing many distinct - w ancient shells, of the tertiary formation ; 1 t limarly substance is scattered all through the m'oy comminuted form, and in the exact c r o p s i'il, easily assimilated by such plasant a th e .

A few words . ttbout the quality and valul e t lanu for cultivation, of which we have some a. proof. • Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklit. township, Gloucester county, who purchased some eight miles north of MiGrille, 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 whit% he built. a branch track a mile and a half long. Be 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 some of hie crops prove. For instance, last. yea r, the second time of cropping, 306 bushels of pot atoes on one acre, worth i.lo 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 33i 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 weals first, ashes from clearings: second, 225 pounds of super phosphate of lime; third, 200 pounds Peruvian gu ano; then 60 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 fotind that thelland had been the year but one before in wheat, sews; with elover;and this cut one season, and last sprint ! . plowed once, with one "poor old nag," and plants' with corn. ' • "Yes, but you manured high, we suppose I" ..' said interrogatively, and got this reply : "Waal, you see, we•couldn't a done that . 'ca - : we hadn't but forty one-borse loadi altogetler,.• 23 acres, and wo wanted the most on't for the trtq The truck consisted of beets, carrots, mad; cucumbers, melons, &c., and a very productive 1' of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we; satisfied that the soil was not infertile, even III; by clover, which had fed the COM, because the y patch" had not been in cultivation long emit obliterate all signs of the forest.
