pNITED STATES
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN.
XHIBD SERIES,
TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS.
By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, - the
undersigned, the General Subscription Agent for the
sale of United States Securities, offers to the public the
third series of Treasury Notes, bearing seven and
three-tenths per cent, interest per annum, known as
the
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN
* These notes are issued under date of July IS, 1565,
and are payable three years from that djte iu curren
cy, or are convertible at the-optlon cff-tWs holder into
U. S. FIVE-TWENTY SIX PER CENT.
GOLD-BEARING BONDS.
These Bonds arc now worth a handsome premiipn,
and are. exempt, as are all the Government Bonds,
from State, County, and Municipal taxation, which adds
from one to three per cent, per annum to their vulue, ac
cording to the rate levied upon other property. The
interest is payable semi-annually by coupons attached
to each note, which may be cut off aud sold to any
bank or banker. '
The interest at 7.30 per cent, amounts to
One cent per day on a SSO note.
Two cents per day on n SIOO note.
Ten cents per day on a SSOO note.
Twenty cents per day on a SI,OOO note.
One Dollar per day on a $5,000 note.
Notes of all the denominations named will he prompt
ly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions.
The Notes of this Third Series are precisely slmilai
in form and privileges to the Seven-Thirties already
sold, except that the Government reserves to itself the
option of paying interest in gold coin at 6 per cent., in
stead of 6 3-10ths in currency. Subscribers will deduct
the interest in currency up to July 15tb, at the time
when they subscribe.
The delivery of the notes of this third series of the
Seven-thirties will commence on the Ist of June, aad
will be mode promptly and continuously after that
date.
The slight change made in the conditions of this
THIRD SERIES affects only the matter of Interest,
The payment in gold, if made, will be equivalent to
the currency interest of the higher rate.
The return to specie payments, in the event of which
only will the option to pay the interest In Gold be avail
ed of, wouid so reduce and equalize prices that pur
chases made with six per cent. In gold would be fully
equal to those made with seven and three-tenths p«
cent, in currency. This is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
Now oftered by the Government, and its superior ad
vantages make it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Less than $230,000,000 of the Loan authorized by
Congress are now on the market . This amount, at the
rate at which it is being absorbed, will all be subscrib
ed for within sixty days, when the notes will undoubt
edly 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 he offorded facilities for taking the
Loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and-Private
Bankers throughout the country have generally a; reed
to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers will select
their own agents, in whom they have confidence, and
who only are to be responsible for the delivery of the
notes for which they receive orders.

To The Savannah Herald:
When 1 wrote you last I wa9 quite elated
with the apparent progress towards liberality
in this community. The Legislature had
“gone back” on the Metropolitan Police Bill,
and a proposition to open the Public Library
Sunday evenings had been entertained in the
city council. But it seems that we have not
progressed so far as that yet. After the re
solve to throw open the Public Library had
passed both branches of the city government,
the Mayor—who is inclined to toady to the
old fogy class—came out with a veto which
might" have been taken from tbe state papers
of a- colonial governor in those times when
the Puritans in this vicinity sought liberty to
worship God in their own way—and to make
everybody else conform to said way—which,
to say the least, was not tbe most attractive
way that was ever devised. We still retain
something of that narrow spirit which actu
ated those intolerant old fellows, while we
lack, I fear, the stern convictions which,
only, redeemed their course from contempt.
They taught that it was better to serve God
with the outward man—though such service
was an acted lie—than not to serve him at
all; and in that belief they compelled all the
rascals and vagabonds in the community to
“tend out” at meeting, observe the forms of
worship in vogue, and help pay the bills. I
think that those who oppose liber,ility here
in this age are the spiritual des . ndents of
the aforesaid vagabonds and unbelievers,
rather than of the believers themselves.
The bill which was substituted for the
Metropolitan Police Bill and passed by both
Houses of the Massachusetts Legislature,
will result in drawing about twenty-five or
fifty thousand dollars from the Treasury of
the State, which will go to pay for the food
and raiment of the gas-bag apostles of the
Maine Liquor Law. Nobody supposes that
a constabulaiy police force, independent of
city authorities, will be able to do any more
towards enforcing the liquor law than the
police of the several cities. However, they
can try the experiment and keep the “Apos
tles” out of almshouses whiLfrthey are doing
it. Itis a sort’of a ‘Tub thrown at the whale,”
which may be of service; for it post
pones for five years at least, any further at
tempt to create a metropolitan police for
Boston.
The news of the capture of Jeff Davis, un
der circumstances which leave not a vestige
of romance in his case, was received here
with pleasure but with nothing like the feel
ing excited by the capture of Richmond or
the surrender of Lee. The rebellion we have
long felt existed in the organized armies it
had created, and not in any man or set of
men. The rebel capital was not in Rich
mond, nor yet in Jeff Davis’ carpet-bag, but
in Lee’s camp. I don’t think the. capture of
Jeff caused so much excilement here' as the
capture of that other bad rebel Booth. And
if we ever attached any importance to the in
dividual chosen to direct the conscription and
other less important business of the rebel
Government, we learned better in view of the
humilialmg, the contemptible ..exhibition he
made ot himself in his attempt “to escape iff
his wife’s dress, and his chicken-hearted pro
test against hunting down women and chil
dren! There was nothing like exultation
heard on Boston streets, but of derision there
was not a little. The remark of Mrs. Davis,
touching the dangerous character of “the
President" when provoked was considered
particularly funny. What will be done with
him ? is a question that bothers many people,
who think it would have decided a knotted
question in a way worthy of Alexander if
some fanatic like Cobbett had been present,
moved by the spirit of the Lord, to shoot the
rascal in his boots. As long as he is taken
alive, I think it would be a good idea to show
him through the North, in the classic costume
he favors, for the benefits of soldiers’ widows
and orphans.
There is a very warm railroad quarrel go
ing on iu New Hampshire, two champions of
which are the editor ol the Manchester Mir
ror on one side and a writer in the Concord
Monitor—supposed to be no less a person
than Gov. Gilmore—on the other side. John
B. pitches into the “Concord Monopoly," and
Joseph A. retorts heavily against John B,
The latter is an experienced cooa-lmnter, but
such an old coon as Gov. Joe Giluiore is not
easily treed, and the contest waxes warm.
The people of New Hampshire—the most de
mocratic and one of the liveliest States in the
Union (God bless the Union!) are always
ready to take sides upon any question—sec
tional, political or ethical—and they lose no
opportunity now to encourage and stimulate
their doughty champions. “Concord ’
and “Manchester” aro the battle-cries and the
conflict is too warm to be comfortable this
hot weather.
Speaking of New Hampshire—all the hotel
keepers among the mountains and lakes cf
that “Switzerland of America” are making
extensive preparations for the summer travel.
Many oil princes, shoddy and tikes and contract
baronets, of high degree, have never climbed
the awful side of Mount W ashington or sail
ed upon the placid bosom of Winnipesaukee,
or viewed, even at a distance, the enchanting
scenery which abonnds in that regiob. Now
is the time for them to come and receive
patents of nobility where the Storm-King
bolds his court, and where “the great spirit
smiles” upon the lovliest scene that meets
his gaze east of the Mississippi. All the
places of resort in this alpine country are
now connected by telegraph, and the iron
borse is only kept at just the distance neces
sary to preserve the romance and keep oat
the commonplace.
Anew impulse has recently been given to
a railroad project that has been for Borne
.years before the public of no little importance
to the. prosperity of New England. I refer to
PRICE. 5 CENTS
the European and North American Railway,
which, when the connecting links are com
pleted, will make a route from Boston to
Halifax, N. S-, a distance of 706 miles. A
railroad already runs from Boston to Bangor,
Me., a distauce of 248 miles. From Bangor
to St. John, N. B , is 196 miles, uncompleted.
From St. John to Halifax it is 262 miles, and
of this distauce a railroad is already in ope
ration 162 miles. The incompleted portion
is 296 miles—of which 108 miles are In
Maine and 188 miles in the British Provinc
es—ll 9 miles in New Brunswick, and 69
miles in Nova Scotia. The unconstfucted
portions in the British Provinces have been
chartered, and liberal grants of pecuniary
aid by the governments of those colonies
have been authorized. There is a favorable
prospect for thair speedy completion so as to
form a continuous line from the eastern
boundary of Maine to Halifax. The State of
Maine has made liberal grants of aid, in tim
ber, lands, &c., the city of Bangor has loan
ed its credit for .$500,000, aud an appeal ha %
been made to the State of Massachusetts for
a loan of its credit to the amount of $700,-
000 on conditions which will save the State
from loss. The matter was favorably report
ed up, and the Legislature passed a resolve
in aid of the project, assigning to the same
certain money due the State of Maine from !
the sale of public lands, and her part of a
joint claim of Maine and Massachusetts
against the general government—the consid
eration dating back to the time when Maine
was a part of the old Bay State.
Meanwhile, a few wholesale traders In
Maine are doing a very unwise and illiberal
thing by enforcing an old law - against hawk
ers and and pedbirs, which prohibits merch
ants residing out of the Statt* from selling
goods in Maine by sample. If the •narrow
policy is persisted in, the merchants of Boston,
whose agents have made trade campaigns
throughout New England for years, will
take measures and things will be very
unspleasant. N6w Hampshire had such
a law, but I believe it has been repealed after
a short trial.
A great event is at hand in this “city of
notions,” in fact seveial great events, On
Tuesday, the 23d instant, the celebrated
Handel and Hadyn Society will begin to cele
brate its fiftieth anniversary, the festival will
continue six days, and there is now no reasoni
to doubt the entire success of the undertaking
weighty as it is. The rough materials are
amply provided,—a selection of splendid,
works, a chorus of voices which now bids
fair to exceed considerably the promised six
hundred, an orchestra of an hundred compe
tent men an organ than which there is no
grander in the world, a large number of the
nest solo singers in the country, an organist
equal to any need of his position, a thorough,
accomplished, experienced a!ld energetic con
ductor. * From these materials much has bee*
mqde; conductor and organist are carrying
the singers through rehersals which are care
ful and successful; the principals ate busy
with their study, and only the final full re
hersals and reeded .to bring all into harmony
together. The season tickets are placed at
sls and a single ticket at from $1,50 to $2,50.
It is announced that it will excel all music#!
entertainments that were ever offered in this
country, reminding one ot the most famous
that have occurred in England and Germany.
The anniversary meetings will commence
on Sunday, the 28th, and I shall have to de
vote one entire letter to this curious phase
of religious life. Some of the meetings
which were to be held June Ist will be otrntr
ted, the day being set apart for public
mourfaing, in accordance with the Presi
dent's proclamation. • The observance of the
day in this city will be solemn and impres
sive, upon a scale rarely known in New Eng
land. A large procession, military and civiq,
an eulogy by Senator Sumner, and a general
suspension of business is already announced.
On the week succeeding that of the anni
versaries, delegations from the Board of
Trade of all the Western cities will be en
tertained by the Board of Trade and the
City Government of Boston. They will be
treated to the usual round of entertainments,
an excursion down the bay, a run of our
public institutions, visits to Lexing
ton and Bunker Hill, and a
banquet in Fanueil Hall. It is the same old
programme, but perhaps the Museum of
comparative Zoology will be thrown in, and
there are also the new City Hall, and the
new City Hospital, models in tbeir way to
be seen.
The Legislature has officially adjourned
after a very “gassy” session of 134 days, the
mest vigorous measure of which was a re
solve by which the members raised their
own pay. - They tried to do many mische
vous things which they were not smart
enough to accomplish.
Amusements aup tolerably active in town,
with nothing of especial note to mention.
The dramatic season in Boston has been uni
versally barren of incidents worthy of re
membering. So far May has been ns wet and
disagreeable for May as April was fine, and
agreeable for that capricious month. The
hay crop bids fair to be large and early—that
makes beef makes muscle—and I
am truly-yours. Lota. -
A sudden panic fell upon the worshippers
on Easter Day In a large church at Lisbon.
An enormpus spider was suddenly seen to de
scend to an ancient web that is said to have
existed for many years. The creature was
so formidable that the women began to scream
and a scene of general terror and excitement
followed. When captured it was found to
be, with legs extended, nearly five feet long,
and weighed six pounds.
A religious revival, is in progress in Phila
delphia, and preaching and extra religious
services are held in seveial churches every
evening. The Rev. Mr Hammond, theemi
nent revivalist, preached to au immense au
dience in an open lot, near the Academy .of
Music, on Sunday, and preached rn the eve
ning to a crowded congregation in Calvaty
Church, On both occasions, the deepest in
terest was manifested.
A western copperhead journal tbar is soTe
ly disappointed by the conclusion of the war
and • the subjugation, of the South; never
theless finds some consolation in the “filet
that there is hope now that abolitionism wil 1
die.
