U. s. 5-2O'S.

THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY has not yet given notice of any intention to withdraw this popular Loan from Sale at Par, and until after ten days notice has been given, the un dersigned, as AGENTS FOR THE SALE OF TuE BONDS, will continue to supply the public.
 The whole amount of the Loan authorized is Five Hundred Millions of Dollars. NEARLY FoUR HUNDRED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN ALREADY sUBscRIBED LoR AND PAID INTO THE TREASURY, mostly within the last seven months. The large demand from abroad, and the rapidly increasing home demand for use as the basis for circulation by National Bank ing Associations, now organizing in all parts ot the country, will, in very short period. absorb the balance. Sales have lately ranged from ten to fifteen millions weekly. frequent ly exceeding three millions daily. and as it is well known that the Secretary of the Treasu- ry has ample and unfailing resources in the Duties and Imports and Internal Revenues, and in the issue of the Interest Bearing Le- gal Tender Treasury Notes, it is almost u cer- tainty that he will not find it necessary, :or a long time to come, to seek market for any other long or permanent Loans, THE lNlE REST AND PRINCIPAL OF WHICH AGE PAYABLE IN GOLD.
 Prudence and self-interest must force the minds of those contemplating the formation of National Banking Associations, as well as tine minds of all who have idle oney on their hands, to the prompt cpn'luSion that they shouH lose no time in subscribing to this most popular L n.n. It will soon be beyond their reach, and advance to hanh'ome premium. as was the result of the :" Seven Thirty Loan, when it was all sold and could no longer be subscribed for at par
 IT lsA SIX PER CENT Lo4N, TIE INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL PAeABLE IN CoIN, THUS YIELD ING CvER NINE PER CENT PER ANNUM ut the present rate of prehium on coin
 Tine Government requires all duties on lm- ports to be paid in Coin; these duties have for a long time past amounted to overa
 Quarter of Million of Dollars daily. asum nearly three times greater than that re. uuired in the payment of the interest on all the 2G's and other permanent Loans. So that it is hoped that the surplus Coin in the Treasury, at no distant day, will enable the United States to resume. specir payments upon all liabilities.
 The Loan is called 5-2O from the fact tha' while the Bond may run for 70 years. yet the Cove nment has light to pay them oh III Gold, at par, at any time after tive years.

 These 5-2Os cannot be taxed by States, Git lea, Towns or Counties, and the Government tax on them is only one and half per cent. OH the amount uf inoome when the income of the holder exceeds Six Huhdred Dollars pc, annum all other investments, such as income from Mortgages, Railroad Stocks and Bonds. etc, must pay from three to i've per cent. tax on the income.
 BANKS AND BANKERS throughout the coun- try will continue to dispose of inc Bonds; /; aud all orders sent to us by mail, or otherwise, will be promptly attended to.
