THB SKVBN-THIHTY I*o AN, The exact history of the popular Loan known to tbe world as the 7-30 is as follows: It is called a “7-30" loan, for tbo reason that the interest on a hundred dollars is seven dollars and thirty cents a year. Congress, in July, 1804, authorized the Se cretary of the Treasury to borrow $400,000,- 000 in 9Uch.form as he deemed best. Os this amouut $100,000,0.10 was issued as Ten-For-- ties | $70,000,000 as Five : Tweutie.s and the"" balance .-3330,000,000, as Seven-Thirties. 'Ou the 3d nt..March last, Congress authorized a further loan of $000,000,000570,000,000 of this was taken and added to the $230,000,- 000 of Seven-Thirties issued under the act of July, 18«4,. to round It up to $300,000,000 This made the first series of the Seven-Tbiriy loan. This left $530,000,000 unissued of the amouut authorized by the last act. The issue of $300,000,000 of itas- Seven-Thirties, was directed by the Secretary of the Trea sury. Their sale commenced on the Ist ot April last. This was the second series of the Seven-Tbitty loan. Its sale has averaged between $8,000,000 and $9 l lMK) J 000 a day. Only about $35,000,000 remains this 12th day of May. When it is all sold, there will be left at the disposal of the Secretary of the Treasury, under the act of March 3, 1805, $230,000,000. It is presumed that this amount will be issued in tbe shape of a third aeries of the Suren-Thirty Lean, payable in three years from the 15th of Oc tober nex^and That it will have as rapid a sale as the preceding series have iiadf The government will thus be euablvd to pay all its dues to soldiers, contractors and other creditors, aud to liquidate .all the fiofting claims against the Treasury. The publiq sentiment In large cities is that there never has heou such prompt discharge ol a.national debt at the close of a great war—never in the world such a spectacle qf a whole people pressing forward to supply their government with, the means to pay off the vast body of war claims that succeed a war debt. All feel that the Secretary of the Treasury U en titled to the greatest praise for bis successful management of the department and tbe busi ness, like energy and tact,, displayed in all of bis plans and purposes.

Tbe success of the Savannah Dailv Her ald—in Its large circulation, its popularity, the extent of its advertising patronage, and the reliance which all our exchanges seem to in its news—affords us great satisfac tion- We commenced under very di°cour aging auspices, with hardly au acquaintance in Savannah, money scarce, the army about leaving, advertisers rather discourged and disposed to be very economical, communica tion with the country entirely cut off, a thou sand miles from our base of supplies.with no direct communication and no certain com munication direct or indirect. But we were bound to succeed aud have labored on, meet ing encouragement from almost all quarters. We have placed our paper on it» own merits, and done all that energy and perse verance could do to make it successful, and we are proud that wc have succeeded. W e now have as large a circulation in Savannah as we anticipated in our most sanguine mo ments. Our circulation is also extending to the interior, and Is almost unprecedentedly large, considering the number of inhabitants, at Hilton Head, Beaufort, and other points iu the Department, with a large list of Northern subscribers. ... .
