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.

Taking Back a Few Remarks abou Liberal Progress—Our Constabvlirg Policet Bill—The The Capture of J. D. creates no Excitement •—/I Railroad Quarrel in New Hampshire — Ho! for the Mountains and the Lakes —From Halifax to Boston—Festival qf the Handel and Haydn Society—Preparations for Entertaining Westerners Amusements, 4rc., frc. Boston, May 21. 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.
