Only a few days ar« now left of the term within which the Note* are fundable in eight per cent, slock, and all who can spare the money a tumid hasten thus to invest It before the 22<1 i net. There *ru two strong considerations of mUrett that should induce men to fund «n thi* way all their mouey not needed for prosani support- lit. Tho laonds wil! most probably command a premium in a short time. Why should they not? They will un questionably be a* wife and as certain of ultimate redemption u* thocurroney, and they will b«» •ccurnulating or drawing yearly Interest, u» the currency will not. Tho 8 per cent, bondn of tho hundred million loan now command a premium, ind *0 should llio H percent, bonds now about t" be exchanged for Confederate notes. It i» more doubtful whether tlie 7 percent, bonds will for a long time command a premium, mid hem e tho im portance of prompt investment 2d. The notes on hand, or the property bouahtwilb them, will be heavily taxed by tho revenue bill which the two house* nfCongrc*t will have perfec.edand agreed upon within a few ony*; hut tho bond* will t>e exempt from taxeiion^ Thi* dif ference in favor of the bund* will of itself he equal, probably, to ton per cant. Even should tlis* bunds lie ten per cent, below par In tho market, their exemption from taxation will counterbalance tho depre ciation. A patriotic motive to contribute to the improvement of the currency, and tho consequent benefit -as! both th* Govern ment and tho people, should be a still -tronger consideration in favor of fund- ingtho notes. l>»t every man who can afford it rvapund at once to the appeal of tho Govsgnment, aud aid to this extent Ihomuiaiop cause IFAty, exferitnglh*citizen*of Kichmc to imiufe the ex ample of the citizens Au<u«ta yci AttafiLs, bi urn .■ z * purchasing U the jKMir, Th ilios scout to havo the credit f< j those ioatftution*; but if I kec with iu appearance I stirring events, Ut Columbus is due tbs ** * 1 honor ofbaving first moved in this matter in association of thi* kind but from some cau-»o faded Reccetiy it was revived, and that whk-1 was as a man’s hand now overshadows th. whole place.
