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 15,15C5, and are payable three years from that date in cmret* cy, or are convertible at the option of the hblder into U. S. FIVE-TWENTY SIX PER CENT. GOLD-BEARING BONDS. These Bonds are now worth a handsome premium, 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 and 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 a 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 be prompt ly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions. The Notes of this Third Series are precisely similai 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 iin at', per cent., in stead of C 3-lOths in currency. Subscribers ml deduct the interest in eurrency up to July 15th, 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, and will be 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 rjpide, 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, wonid 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 per cent, in currency. This is THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET Now ottered by the Government, and its superior ad vantages make it the GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF TIIE 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 fur within sixty days, w hen 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 be oftorded facilities for taking the Loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Private Bankers throughout the country have generally agreed to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers will select their own agents, in whom they have confidence, and who only are to lie responsible for the delivery of the notei for which they receive orders.

Our city was thrown into excitement yes terday morning, in consequence of an an nouncement, at all the African churches, on Sunday night, made by some evil dispose®, officious, and unauthorized parties purport ing to lie from headquarters, which may prove for a few days, a matter of serious in convenience to housewives, but will finally result to the greater detriment of the dream ing darkey, whom through foolish and insane zeal it was supposed to benefit. We have been requested by the authorities to state that such a course will not be countenanced by them, but the of this folly will meet with the punishment they so richly de serve- The negroes should be wise enough to look to the future. They should ask themselves, iu the event of their assumption of the privi leges they claim, how they are to live. They have been provided for without thought or care on their part. If they#b;mge their social relations, as many have done and others promise to do, of course the obligation of the former master ceases. The negro must de pend upon his own resources. He must work or starve. The change he designs to make in his condition will not endow him with the privilege of stealing, or living upon the property of others. We repeat he must work. Ana just now but little employment can be obtained. White men are begging for situations, and these will always be preferred by employers. There is nothing to employ the extra number that will be thrown upon their own resources, it the negroes act hasti ly. Thieving will not bp permitted, but punished to the utmost extent of the law, and the evil disposed may as well under stand this. One word to the masters. It will be the wisest policy to at once prepare for-the great change in our social system which now seems inevitable. The change has already been made by many, and some have testified to us with the happiest results, pecuniarily as well as socially. Some have demonstrated to their own satisfaction that the system which they had been taught to believe was indis pensable, has really been a harden, and are much better satisfied with the arrangements they have made, than their fondest hopes anticipated. Therefore as a general change will undoubtedly he made very soon, by a power that cannot Be resisted, the part of wisdom will be to make it after preparation to supply deficiencies in our households. And-we would also counsel an unusual watch fulness for the protection of property. The Worst passions of an ignorant and hitherto dependent people will have to be controlled. Our people and the civil authorities caftnot be too vigilant, and we feel assured the mili tary authorities.uwill heartily second every effort that may be made tending to the pre servation of law and order. For this purposp the army is among Us, and no disturbingele ment will be permitted to riot in the rand. Os this we have had official .assurances. t n . Railroad arp Steamboat Travel.— Of thfl five railroad# Teilcung to this eitj% three, the Macon and Western, the Soulh Western anil the Macon and Brunswick, are in success ful operation along their whole line,’together with the several branches of the two former. Trains are running regularly to Atlanta and Thomaston, to Albany and Eufaula, and to Buzzard Roost on the Brunswick road. The Muscogee road, which extends from Fort Valley to Columbus, is doing nothing. Gen. Wilson’s command burned the Flint river bridge,' seven miles beyond the former place. The ears and engines had all been Wrought'to this side. The main track was not material ly damaged, and, therefore, as soon as that bridge is repaired, communication with Co s: lumbus direct will be resumed. Travelers thence now go to -Eufaula and up the Chat tahoochee by steamboat. • - General Sherman’s army completely de stioyed the Central Railroad for over one hundred miles. No effort to repair the line has been made by the-Company, but-it iB reported that it has been repaired to Millen on the Savannah end. A large force of-ne- . groes under the direction of the military au thorities :s said to be working upon it, but the information is not authentic. Trains run to Gordon and to Milledgeviile as usual. Travelers going North from this city, gen erally go down the Brunswick road to Buz zard Roost, ana from thence by 1 boat down the Ocmulgee and the Altamaha, to Savan nah, or go by way of Atlanta to Augusta, and from thence down the s%vannah river. From Savannah they take regular ocean steamers plying to New York. To make a trip now to the southwest, is as difficult as twenty-five years ago. Small patches of railroad in operation with here , and there a steamboat, can be obtained, but the best plan is private conveyance through out.—Macon' Telegraph. • Capture of Governor Harris. —The Cin ciunat-i Commercial of May 22 has a despatch from Nashville which reports the capture of the rebel Gov. Harris, of Tennessee, and $600,000 belonging to the State Treasury.-r- The State archives and all the State bonds have a|sO been captured. Ordination of Deacons. —Last Sabbath (May 21st) a most interesting and impressive scene took place at the St. Helena Baptist Church, situated seven miles from Land s End on the road to Port Rogjd Ferry.— Thirteen colored brethren were ordained to the sacred office of Deacons of the large and flourishing Church, already numbering 1500 members. Only a few Sabbaths since, Rev. Abraham Murchison baptised there one hun dred and ten willing converts who were re ceived into the bosom of the church.— Port Royal New South. General Lee,, it is said, proposes, if per? mitted by government, to retire to his estate at White House, on the Pamukey river, and there spend the' remainder of his days. A SI,OOO dressing ca3e has been sent from London to the Chicago fair, and it is to be voted to the prettiest girl in Chicago at $1 a vote. Boston is about to have an immense music festival, over five hundred singers being in regular attendance at the rehearsal.
