The Secretary of the Treasury has moi
yet given notice of anv iniention to with.
draw this popular Loan from Sale at Par,
and until ten days notice is given, the
undersigned, as "General Subscription
! Agent,' will continue to supply the public
The whole amount of the Loan author
| lied is Five Hundred Millions of Dollars
Nearly Four Hundred Millions have been
already subscribed for and paid into toe
Treasury, mostly within the last seven
mon hs. The large demand from abroad
and the rapidly increasing home demand
for use as the basis for circulation by Ma
tIonal Banking Associations now organiz-
ing in all parts OF the country, will ia a
very short period absorb the balance
Sales have lately ranged from len 10 ff-
teen millions weakly, frequently exceed
ing three millions daily, and as II is well
known that the Secretary OF the Treasury
has ample and unfailing resources in the
DUlies on Imports and Iernal Revenues
and in the issue of the Interest bearing
Legal Tender Treasury Notes, il is almost
certainty that he will not find il neces-
saay, Tor long time to come, TO seek a
market for any olher long or permanent
Loans, The Interest aud Principal of which
are payable ia GOLD.
Prudence and self interest must force
the minds those contemplating the for
nation OF National Banking Associations
as well as the minds OF all who have idle
money on their hands, 10 the prompt con.
cluson that they should lose no time in
subscribing TO this most popular Loan
II will soon be beyond their reach, and
advance 10 a handsome premium, as was
the result with the "Seven Thirty" Loan.

over a @ larler OF Million of Dollars
daily, sum nearly three times greater
than that required in the payment of the

nent Loans. So that ii is hoped that the
surplus Coin in the Treasury, at no dis an
day, will enable the United States to re
sumo specie payments upon all liabilities
The Loan is called 5 20 from the iact
that whilst the Bonds may run for twenty
years yet the Government has a right TO

after FIVE years.
