of March 9Th 1854 which provides that all Bonds is

period not less than ten fhas forty from

on Bonds of not over enc hundred dollars annually
and on all other Bonds semi annually. The in
terest is payable ON the first days of March and
September in each year.
As these Bonds by Act of Congress, are
EXEMPT FROM MUNICIPAL OR STATk
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 paw
OVER EIGHT PER CENT. INTEREST
in currency, and are of equal convenience as per
manent or temporary investment.
It ia believed that no securities offer so great
inducements to lenders as the various descrip-
tons of o. 8. Bonds. In all other forms of in
debtedness the faith or ability of private parties
or stock companies or separate communities oniT
is pledged for payment, while for the debts Of the
United States the whole property of the countrT
Is holden to secure the payment Of both principal
and interest in eoiu.
These Bonds may be subscribed for In sums mon
$50 up to any ma gnitude, on the same terms, aud
are thus made equally available to the smallest
lender and the largest capitalist. They oaa be
converted into money at any moment, and the
holder will have the benefit of the interest.
THE Funded Debt of the United States on
which interest is payable in gold, the Sd day of
March, 1854, was s76s 600. The interest this
debt for the coming fiscal year will be s4'-sN LIS.
while the customs revenue in gold for the current
fiscal year, ending June 3oth 1854, has been far
at the rate of over 800 600 600 per annum.
It will be seen that even the present gold reve.
mas of the Government are largely in excess OF
the wants of the Treasury for the payment of gold
interest, while the recent increase of the tariff
will doubtless raise the annual receipts from
$50 900, 900 per annum.

THE RUMORED JUNCTION OF BRECKI,
RIDGE WITH LEE

RlD4E WITH LEE.
Secesh in Washington is jubilant to-day
over the + elief that Breckenridge, Imboden and
Echols, having defeated Sigel have joined Lee,
adding important and effective reinforcements
to him.
We are inclined to believe the rejoicings OF
these parties quite premature as it is hardly
possible that Breckenridge, even by forced
marches, could since Sunday (the day of his
encounter with Sigel) have covered the dis
lance between New Market and Spotsylvania
Court House.
New Market is in Shenandoah county, on
the turnpike road, between HarrisoEburg and
Mt Jackson, the valley terminus Of the Ma
nassas Gap railroad, is $50 miles from Rich
mond, and it's nearest railroad connection with
Lee is by the Manassas road and Virginia Cen.
tra,, via Manassas Junction, Gordonsville,
and Orange .. H., and that line Of road is use.
less to Lee above Orange Court House.
Breckinridge's route, therefore, in joining
Lee would have been by turnpike from New
Market to Orange Court House, a distance OF
nearly fifty miles. He could there use the rail-
road as far as Beaver Dam Station, when he
would be obliged to take the turnpike road
again to join Lee, involving a large amount of
tedious marching; and In the condition Of Lees
railroad communications it is doubtful if he
(Breckinridge) would be able to avail himself
in any manner of railroad facilities.
Furthermore, it is doubtful il Breckenridge is
not yet confronting Sigel.
