HE SECRETARY OF I'll" TREASURY has not yet given notice of any intention to withdraw this popular I.,an from Sale lt Par, and until after ten days notice hls been given the un- dersigned, as AGENTS FOR THE SALE BONDS, will continue to supply the public.
 Tine whole amonnt of the Loan authorized is Five Hundred Millions of Dollars. NEARLY FouR HUNDRED MlLLIoas OF DOLLARS HAVE DEEH ALREADY SUBSCRIBED loR AND PAID INTO THE TREASURY, mostly within the last seven montis. The large demand from abroad, and the iap'lly increasing home demand for use as the basis for circulation by National Bank, ing Associations now organizing in all p.trts oi the country, will, in very short pctiod absorb the balance. Sales have lately ranged from ten to fifteen millions weekly, frequent
 y exceeding three millions daily, and as it is well known that the Secretary of tEe Trcasu " has ample and untaling resources in the Duties and Imports and Internal Revenues and in the issue of the Interest Bearing Le- ga Tender Treasury Notes, it is almost d cer- taintv that he viii hot find it necessary, ,or long time to come, to seek market for any other long or permanent Loans, THE ME REST AND PRINCIPAL OF WHICH ABE PAYABLE IN GOLD.
 Prudence and self-intcrcst must force the minds of those Contemp plating the iopntion of National Banking Associations, as well as the minds of ull w!.o have idle money on their hands, to tine prompt Con, ,luSon that they should lose no time in subscribing to this most popular Loan. It will soon be beyond their reach, and advance to handsome premium. as was the result of the "Seven Thirt " Loan. when it was all sold and could no longer be subscribed for at par.
 IT IS A SIX PER CENT LOAN. TIE INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL PAeABLE IN CON, THUS YIELD ING CvEn NINE PER CENT PER ANNuM at the present rate of premium on coin.
 The Government requires all duties on 1m ports to be paid in Coin these duties have for q long time p;lst amounted to overa
 Quarter of Million of Dollars daily a sum nearly three times greater than that re- quired in the payment of the interest on all the } 20's and oth-r permanent Loans. So that it is hoped that the surplus Coin in the Treasury, at DO 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 tlle Bond may nun for 20 years. yet the Cove nmcnt has right to pay them oil in Gold, at par, at any time after five years. InE INTEREST IS PAID HALF YEARLY, VIZ on the lirst days Of November and May Subscribers can have Coupon B"nds, which ale payable to bearer, and are so, $1O0, and $ 600; or Rcgistertd d Bonds of same denomi nations, and in addition, $5,OOO and S1OQOO. fOf bahkihS purposes ana lol ih' hiehto u Tr,ist-moncs, the .Et sistcrcd Bol.ds pref crable.
 These 5-20's cannot bc taxed by States, Git es, Towns. or Counties, and the Government tax on them is only one and half per cent. on the amount of income. when the income of the holder exceeds Six Hundred Dollars Der annum :; all other investments guch as income from Mortgages Railroad Stocks and Bonds. etc, must pay from three to five per cent. tax | on the income.
 BANKS AND BANKERS throughout the coun- try will continue to dispose of inc Bonds; and all orders sent to us by mail, or hcrWiSc, will be promptly attended to.
 l The inconvenience of a few days delay in l the delivery of the Bonds is at times unavoid- able the demand being so great but as inter- est commences from the ,day of subscription. no loss is occasoncd, and every effort is being made to deliver the Bonds as promptly as l ,ossble.
