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 u,;der any state or municipal authority. Subscriptions to these Boads ale received in United States Notes or Notes of National Banks. They arc TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN, at the pleas ure of the Government, st asly period not kss than tea nor more than foty years 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~anpually The inter- est is payable on the first days of March and September in each year.
 Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Regis tered Bonds are recorded on the Pooks of the U. $. Treasurer, and can be transferred only on the owner order. Coapon Bonds are pay commercial uses.
 Subscribers to this loan will have the op- tion of having their Bonds draw interest from March 1st, by paying the accrued interest in coin-(or in United States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent. for premium.) or receive them drawing interest from the date of subscription and deposit. As these Bonds are
 EXEMPT FROM MUNICIPAL OR STATE
 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 pay
 OVER EIGHT PER CENT INTEREST in currency, and are of equal convenience as a permanent or temporary investment It is believed that no securities offer so great | inducements to lenders as the various descrip- tions of U. s. Bonds. In all forms of indebt, 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 ir 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.
 that the total Funded Debt of the United States on which interest is payable in gold. on the 3d day of March, 1864, was S768 ,965, ,OOO The interest on this debt for the coming fiscal year will be s45, ,937 ,l26, while the customs reve, nue ip gold for the current fiscal year, ending June aOth, 1864, has been so far at the rate of over s1OO, 900 AG0 per annum.
 It will be seen that even the present gold revenues of the Governmept are largely in ex cess of the wants of the Treasury for the pay. Rept of gold interest, while the recent in. crease of the tariff, will doubtless raise the annual receipts from customs on the same amount of importations, to Sl50, GOO per annum.
