SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN,
tins titill,
TWO HUNDRED atm THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS.
By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, the
undersigned, the General Subscription Agent for tiif
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 U, 19G5,
and are payable three years from thatdate in curren
cy, or are convertible at the option of the .bolder Into
C. S. FIVE-TWENTY SIX PER CENT.
GOLD-BE A RING - BONDS.
. These Bonds arc now worth a handsome premium,
and are exempt, as are all the Government Bonds,
from StaU, County, and Municipal taxation, t ckU} add»
from om to three per cent, perimmtm to fieir ruTuA eo
cord>ng to the rate levied upon other property. The
Interest is payable semi-annually hy coupons attached
to each note, which may be cut off and acid to any
bank or banker.
The interest at 7.30 per cent amounts to
One cent per day. 004 tMfefe
Two cents per day on'a%fto note *
Ten cents per day on a S6OO 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 be prompt
ly furnished npou receipt of subscriptions.
The Notes of thj Third Series are precisely simiiai
in form and privileges to the Seven-Thirties already
sold, except that the Government reserves to itself the
option of paying interest in gold c in at 6 per cent., in.
stead of 6 3-10ths in currency. Subscribers will deduct
the interest in currency up to July 16th, at the time
when they subscribe.
The delivery of tha notes of this third series of the
Seven-thirties will commence on the Ist of June, and
will lie made 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 bo avail
ed of, would so reduce and equalize prices that pur
chases mode with six per cent, in gold would be fully
equal to those made with seven and three-tenths per
cent, in currency. This is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
Now offered by the Government, and its superior ad
vantages make it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Less than $130,000,000 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 undoobt
ediy command a premium, as has uniformly hem the
case on dosing the subscriptions to other Loads.
In order that citizens of every town and section of
the country may be offorded fadlltles for taking the
Loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Private
Banker* 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 axe to be responsible for the delivery of the
note, for which they receive orders.

Interesting Extracts.
Railway Connection with the North.—
In an able article upon this subject the Macon
Telegraph says:
The really important question, particular
ly to our readers in Middle Georgia, is whjlt
tax will be imposed upon them in the shape
of freight?, and it is to this point to which
we wish to direct a
Our railway comtfiffuications being so bad
ly broken up, it is much to be feared that the
additional freight expenses before they can
bo repaired wui be nearly as costly «3 the re
pairs themselves. The Central road is so
badly injured that it is doubtful whether it
will be in full operation in a year’s time
Meanwhile the enormous supplies, necessary
for this depleted country must, as things
stand, either be brought down through Louis
ville, Nashville, Chattanooga and Atlanta,
or irom Savannah up the river to Augustai
from Augusta to Atlanta by rail, and thence
down, or they may take the more precarious
route by steamer to Darieu, aud thence up
the Oomulgee ; or they might be shipped to
Apalachicola, and thence up the Chattahoo
chee and Flint to Albany, or from Apalacha
co ato Fort Gaia -s or Columbia and thence
over tne South-w estern and Muscogee, rail
ways.
If it were possible to force through imme
diately the track layiug upon that part of
the Milledgeviile and Augusta road which is
already graded between Milledgeviile. and
Mayfield, it would shorten the railway tran
sit of goods via Sayannah about two hundred
miles, k aud concentrate upon th- road at
once an enormous traffic, befor* the Cen
tral road could begot into operate a.
We call the attention of enterprising men
to the universal importance of this thirty
four miles of track, at this particular Junc
ture. It is equally to the interest of Middle
Georgia, the Central and the Georgia rail
roads that it should be laid at once, and it
is the best chance to turn an honest penny
in railway speculation that we know of.—
.But if this cannot be built within a short
time, then it is for the interest of the Geor
gia and the Macon and Western railway to
equip themselves as rapidly as possibly for
a heavy business, and determine by a system
of low freights and prompt carriage, to mon
opolize the immense carrying trade which,
it they are wise, will soot open upon them
, Restoration of Givil Law,
The following orders, restoring civil law
to a certain extent, in Georgia and other
States, have sheared. The Macon Tele
graph says‘'These orders are liberal and
conciliatory, and we know they, wiil be met
in a corresponding spirit by the people, and
tend to‘dissipate
that the Federal authority :IS
in a riitorou3 and oppressive manner.”

General Ordersi No. 21.
A large portion of Northern Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, and Western North Oaro-.
lina being now within the lines of tho Fed
eral Anny, the Major General Commanding
desires to restore the authority of the civu
law iu the several counties of these States
embraced within this Department at as early
a period as possible.
It 13 accordingly recommended that ail duly
authorized Judges, Sheriff*, Commissioners,
Justices of the reace, and other officers who
may be in these counties, immediately pro
ceed to outer upon and perform the duties of
their respective offices, according to the laws
of the State in force at the beginning of the
war, as far as it may be found to be practi
cable.
Wherever vacancies in county offices ex
ist, it is enjoined upon the loyal people of the
neighborhood-to bold regular elections and
select -officers competent to reorganize the
civil courts, and uphold the authority of the
civil laws.
Commanding Officers of all Military, Dis
tricts and Posts are directed to protect the
civil authorities as far as may be consistent
with the interests of the service, and to co
operate with it in restoring order.
At the breaking out of tue rebellion against
the National Government, the people of Nor
thern Alabama and Geoigia and- Western
North Carolina, overpowered by the tide of
secession, were among the last to desert the
cutue of the Union; and the Commanding
General ot tills Department confidently hope*
Uiat they will be among the first to return to
their allegiance and to assist ill the restora
tion of peace and the enforcement of the
laws.

The Unton Rule In Savannah.
[Savannah Correspondence of the Macon Telegraph. J
The “Forest City’’ has been occupied by
the Union forces over five months, and so
favorable has been the change that the gen
eral satisfaction is manifest The observer
heurs no grumbling at the great change
which has been wrought, and sees but little
discontent manifested. Occasionally a sul
len face is seen, but not «teo. Tne social
status of the city is feat approximating that
point for which Savannah was so justly ctl
ebrated years ago. The churches are undis
turbed in their worship, except iu the form
of prayers used in reference to the govern
ment. A general school system has been
established, which makes provision for the
education .of both white, and black, in sep
arate educational organizations. The latter
was ordered by the military authorities, and.

of which Mayor Arnold is the head. The
schools, I am told, arj. well attended, and
the system is working well.
Iu political matters nothing is doing, but
there is the greatest* anxiety to take steps to
bring the State back -into -the Union. The
call of Gov. Brown, for a meeting of the
Legislature, wa? enthusiastically responded
to by a large meetiug of the most influential
citizens, and at first there was some disatis
faction felt at the negative position taken by
the U. S. authorities. But reflection has led
to the. conclusion that--the course, resolved
upon is the wisest It is admitted that the
-action of the people sinee.the passage of the
ordinance of separation has been illegal un
der the Constitution of the United States,
and therelore the State ha? no Governor or
Legislature. Primary ac>ion by the people,
therefore, is necessary, tj le-crgaaize the
State Government, aim tney but await the
opportunity to do so. Jt is understood; how
ever, no steps will be allowed to be taken
except by permission of the Washingi on Gov
ernment. aud under the direction of the Mili
tary Governor.

The future of the'negro In the Sooth, It
seems, is determined. Wo mean his future
status as to slavery. But what we desire
now to direct the attention of our Military
Authorities in Georgia to, is what shall be
his present and future in regard tff labor?
We do this respectfully, and with an eye
solely to the general benefit. The Wheat,
Oats, and Com are now fast approaching
maturity, Shall the negro be freed from
their farther cultivation, or shall he be made
to attend them until they be harvested ,and
gathered? ’ This is a grave question, and
ought to be determined without delay. Re
cently many ot the. farms and plantations
in our State, we learn, promising abundant
bajvests, have been abandoned by tbe ne
groes cultivating them, rendering it certain ‘
that the labor thus far expended upon them,
unless it be restored, will be lost—that the ’
fields npvv so promising in appearance, will
yield no return. In the present condition of
our State—with an almost starving popula
tion now—what will be the condition of
both whites and negroes, in the' fulure, 'if
the labor of the latter be withdrawn from
our fields? We appeal, mpst respectfully,
to those who can control this labor; in the
name of humanity, we appeal to them,*'to
regulate this matter without delay. N«wU

It will interest many of out readers to learn
that th* beautiful village of Marietta is rapid
ly recovering from the desolation that mark
ed Its appearance a few. months ago. The
charming Spring * time-lias beautified it with
its usual wealth of flowers and shady vegeta
tion.
A large number of its citizens have return
ed, repaired their residences and planted
gardens that are yielding largely. The peo
ple have settled quietly into the usual rou
tine of habits and business they were used to
before the misfortunes of war laid its heavy
sorrows on the laud.
A government mail line passes through the
place and regular communication with other
places will soon bo furnished its citizens.—
Wagons and stages are running daily but ir
regularly on private account from Atlanta,
and usually carry* through psfeseugers for
points far north of the towD. >
A great deal of energy has been used bv
the people in its vicinity to plant, and their
labor promises to be repaid with rich and
abundant crops of corn and other produce.
The lruit crop promises to be very fine and
abundant. Tho peach trees are laden with
an unusually large amount of fruit, and if no
aocident of drouth occurs there will be a very
large and valuable: yield of that fruit.
• The season promises well for all produce,
and the providential blessings ol large and
