U. S. 7-30 LOAI. 
By authority of tlie Secretary of the Treasury, the 
undersigned has assumed the General Subscription 
Agency for the sale of the United States Treasury Notes, 
bearing seven and three-tenths per cent, interest, per 
annum, known as the i 
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN. 
These Notes are issued under date of June 15th, 1865, 
and are payable three years from that time, in currency, 
or are convertible at the option of the holder into 
U. S. 5-20 Six per cent. 
GOLD-BEARINa BONDS. 
These bonds are worth a premium which increases the 
actual profit on the 7-30 loan, and its exemption from 
State and municipal taxation adds from one to three per 
cent, more, according to the rate levied on other property. 
The interest is payable in currency semi-annually by 
coupons attached to each note, which may be cut off 
and sold to any bank or banker. 
The interest amounts to 
Oue cent per day on a - - $50 note. 
“ $100 
“ $500 “ 
‘ $iooo 
“ $5000 “ 
Notes of all the denominations named will be promptly 
furnished upon receipt of subscriptions, and the notes 
forwarded at once. The interest to 15th June next will 
be paid in advance. This is 
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET 
now offered by the Government, and it is confidently 
expected that its superior advantages will make it the 
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE. 
Less than $300,000,000 of the Loan authorized by the 
last Congress are now on the market. Tliis amount, at 
the rate at which it is being absorbed, will all be sub 
scribed for within four months, when the notes will un 
doubtedly command a premium, as has uniformly been 
the case on closing the subscriptions to other Loans. 
In order that citizens of every town and section of 
the country may be afforded facilities for taking the loan, 
the National Banks. Slate Banks, and Private Bankers 
throughout the countr y have generally agreed to receive 
subscriptions at par. Sirbscribers will select their own 
agents, in whom they have confidence, ana wno on.y are 
to be responsible for the delivery of the notes for which 
they receive orders.

Life policies are issued, payable in annual, or in one, 
five, or ten annual installments , also non-forfeiture en¬ 
dowment policies, payable in ten annual payments, 
which are paid at death, or on arriving at any parliculai 
age. Life insurance as an investment has no superior, 
as it has saved millions of doll;irs to the insured, and 
thousands of families from ruin. Dividends are paid to 
policy holders, thus enabling them to continue theii 
policies, if otherwise unable to do so.
