BANKERS AND DEALERS IN GOVERN¬

No. 38 Wall-st., New-¥ork. 
AGENTS FOR THE SALE OF 
tiie united states five-twenty year 
SIX PER CENT BONDS. 
The interest on these Bonds is at the rate of Six per Cent, 
per Annum, and is payable 1st May and November, in Gold. 
They are called “Five-Twenties,” because redeemable at 
the option of the Government after 5 or within 20 years. 
The Coupon Bonds are issued in denominations of $50 
$100, $300, $1,000, and are payable to bearer, as are also the 
Coupons for the collection of the interest. The Registered 
Bonds are issued in denominations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000 
$5,000, $10,000, and are payable to the order of the holder, and 
registered in his name on the books of the Treasury Depart¬ 
ment at Washington. The Registered Bonds have no Cou¬ 
pons attached for the collection of interest, but the Interest 
may be collected by the holder in person, or by any person 
having his Power of Attorney for the purpose, at any Sub- 
Treasury of the United States which he may designate. 
We sell the Bonds for the Government, both Registered 
and Coupon, in any of the foregoing denominations, at the 
rate authorized by Congress, without any additional charge 
for Commission, viz.: at Par, and accrued interest, or at Par, 
with interest commencing from the date of subscription. 
Note. — The Bonds are issued to us by the Govern¬ 
ment at different •periods, and bear interest from the date at 
which we pay for them, as indicated by a stamp on the first 
Coupon, For the few days intervening between their issue 
and the time of sale, we charge the accrued interest, paya¬ 
ble in Current Funds. Or, if purchasers prefer it, we take 
their subscriptions, and ordinarily in two or three days 
thereafter, deliver them Bonds, hearing interest from the 
date of their own subscription and payment, with no ac¬ 
crued interest to be paid. 
We are thus enabled to save parties all trouble and ex¬ 
pense in finding Legal Tender Notes, or otherwise investing 
in these Bonds. 
Orders or inquiries by mail will receive prompt attention, 
and the Bonds will be sent to any address, by mail or express, 
as desired. Payment may be made in Bank NotesCdreent 
in New-York, Drafts and Checks on City Banks, or U. 
S. Legal Tender Notes. Persons in the country can send 
their orders and money to us direct, or call at the nearest 
Bank and ask the Cashier to do it for them. Drafts or Checks 
may be sent with safety by mail. Bank Notes or Legal Ten¬ 
ders should be sent by Express. 
igj?- On and after July 1,1863, the privilege of con¬ 
verting Legal Tender Notes into these Bonds, at 
PAR. WILL CEASE, AND IT WILL BE NECESSARY FOR PERSONS 
DESIRING TO OBTAIN AT PAR A UNITED STATES BOND 
BEARING SIX PER CENT INTEREST, IN GOLD, to 
SEND IN THEIR ORDERS BEFORE THAT TI5IK. 
These Bonds arc the CHEAPEST GOVERNMENT SECUR¬ 
ITY NOW IN THE MARKET, and pay the LARGEST IN¬ 
TEREST on their cost, and Congress has provided that they 
eiiail be paid in GOLD, when due. 
They are destined to become the BEST KNOWN, MOST 
POPULAR and MOST AVAILABLE, of all the Bonds of 
the Government. 
The operation of the National Tax Law. which it is now 
certain will produce double the income originally antici¬ 
pated, will make the issues of the United States Govern¬ 
ment the safest and most desirable investment in the world. 
They are in reality a First Mortgage on everything in the 
country, as no Railroad or Corporation of any kind, can pay 
a dividend, or the interest on its own issues, until it lias eon- 
' ributed out of its gross income, through the operation of the 
Tax Law, to the support of the National Credit. 
The present bonded debt of the United States is less than 
Three Hundred MrLLtoNS, including the seven and tliree- 
tentiis Treasury Notes: but the Government owes enough 
more in the shape of Legal Tenders, deposits in the Sub- 
Treasuries, Certificates of Indebtedness, &c„ to increase the 
debt to about eight or nine hundred millions. Secretary 
Chase has calculated that the debt may reach one thousand 
seven-hundred millions if tlie Rebellion lasts eighteen months 
longer. II is, however, believed that it will not last six 
months longer—but even if it does, the National Debt will 
lie small compared with that of Great Britain or France, 
while our resources are vastly greater. 
There is no doubt that the revenue will not only he ample 
to pay the ordinary expenses of the Government, and all in 
tercet on the debt, hut. leave at least one hundred millions 
annually toward paying off the debt, and that the Govern¬ 
ment will be able to get out of debt again, as it has twice be¬ 
fore, in a few years after the close of the war. 
The duties on imports of all articles from abroad must he 
paid in gold. It is now being paid into the Treasury at the 
rate of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars each day, which is 
twice as much as is needed to pay the interest in Gold on all 
the Bonds of the Government. 
The Supreme Court of the United States have just de¬ 
cided that the States have no power to tax the Securities of 
the Government. This is conclusive upon this point, and 
will greatly increase the value of these, securities. 
As the right to convert Legal Tender Notes into Five 
Twenty Bonds expires on the 1st of July, those having 
funds in Savings Banks, the interest upon which would be 
forfeited if withdrawn before that day, can secure bonds, to 
he delivered during the first 20 days of July, by a deposit of 
10 per cent with the subscribers. 
We also deal in all classes of United States 
Securities, and buy and sell Stoelts and 
ISomls on Commission. 
We pay special attention to orders from 
tlie Country. FISK & HATCH,
