U. s. lO-4O BONDS.

THESE Bonds are issued under the Act Of Congress of March 9th, 1864, which provides that all Bonds issued under this Act shall be EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by or uader any state or municipal authority. Subscriptions 10 these Bends are received in United States Notes or Notes of National Banks. They are TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN, at the pleas ure of the Government. at any period not less than ten nor more Mnn toty yeats from their date and until their redemption. FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN on Bonds of not over one hundred dollars annually. and on all other Bonds semi-annually The inter est is payable on the first days of March and September in each year.
 Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon Ponds, as they may prefer. Regis tered p oos5i.! .!- are recorded on the Fooks of the U. s. Treasurer. and can be transferred only on the owners order. Coupon Bonds are pay able to bearer. and are more convenient for commercial uses.
 Subscribers to this loan will have the op- ton of having their Bonds draw interest from March 1st, by paying the accrued interest in coin-(0r in United States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent. for premium, J or receive tfem drawing interest from the date of subscription and deposit. As these Bonds arc
 EXEMPT FROM MUNICIPAL OF STATE
 1AAAllON,
 their value is increased from one to three per cent, per annum, according to the rate of tax levies ill various 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 q permanent or temporary investment.
 It is believed that no securities offer SO great t,I <ha1 tions of U s. Bonds In all forms of indeht ed aess, the faith or ability of private parties or stock companies or separate communities only is pledged for payment, while for the debts of the United States, the whole proper ty Of the country is holden to secure the pay ment of both principal and r terest in coin,
 These Bonds may be subscribed for :n 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 converted into money at any mo- ment and the holder will have the benefit of l the interest
 It may be useful to state in this connection that the total Funded Debt of the Unised States l on which interest is payable in gold. on the Sd day of March, 1864, was S76S .965 GOO. The interest on this debt for the coming fiscal year nue in gold for the current fiscal year, ending June aOth, 1864. has been so far at the rate of over $tO0, ,000, 900 per annum.
 It will be seen tiiat even the present gold revenues of the Government are largely in ex- cess of the wants of the Treasury for the pay ment of gold interest; while the recent in crease of tho tariff, will doubtless raise the annual receipts from customs on the same amount of inportations, to $l5O, ,OOO, GOO per | annum.
