THIRD SERIFS, 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 a* the SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN. These notes are issued under date of July 15,1565, and are payable three years from that date in curren cy, or are convertible at the option of the holder into U. 9, 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 lie prompt ly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions. The Notes of this Third Series are precisely sirailat 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 0 per cent., in stead of C 3-lOths in currency. Subscribers will deduct the interest in eurrencyupto July 15th, at the time when they subscribe. The delivery of the notes of this third series of the Seven-thirties will commence bn the ]at 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 thp 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 per cent, in currency. This is . THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET Now oflered by the Government, and its superior ad vantages make it the GREAT POPULAR IXJAN OF THE PEOPLE. Less thaD $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 be 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 note-i for which they receive orders.

FILES TO THE ftStli. THE TRIAL OF THE ASSASSINS. THE LAST EYLALE.MEYT OF THE FOLK YEARS’ WAR. Jeff. Davis and Jack Ketch. THB MEXICAN SITUATION. Jefferson Davis Indicted for Treason, Tlie Amnesty Proclamation Void. The Trial. Ia the trial of the assassination conspira tors yesterday, the first evidence taken was that ot additional witnesses for the prosecution The following is the substance of the facts elicited: George P. Edmonds, of Burlington, Ver mont, who was counsel for the government of the United States in the examination of the St. Albans raiders in Canada, testified to Jacob Thompson, Clement C. Clay, aud George N. Sanders being in attendance as de fenders of the raiders, and identified the paper produced in the Canadian court, signed by the rebel Secretary of War, authorizing Lieutenant Young, the leader of the raiders, aud his party to carry on depredations along our Northern border. In this document Young was directed to report to Thompson and Clay for instructions The prisoner Atzerodt was identified by Colonel Nevius, of Genesee, N. \, as the man who, on the afternoon ol the 12th of April, in the Kirkwood House, Washing ton, inquired for aud was directed by him to the room of Vice President Johnson. Some others of Dr. Mudd's former slaves testified regarding his absence from home at different times shortly prior to the assassina tion, and to where he went on those occa sions, and also relative to Booth's and Har old's visit to the Doctor’s house and the latter's associations with and assistance to the rebels. Several Witnesses were called by the de fence and examined with the design of im peaching the veracity of some of those who have testified agaiust Dr. Mudd, and to en deavor to show that the Doctor had not given aid and comfort to the rebels. He had, however, they stated, provided food aud shelter for some of the citizens iu 1861, who had become alarmed lest they should be ar rested at the time that General Sickles was in that region of country. Mr. Ford, the proprietor of the theatre in which President Lincoln was assassinated, who had been confined in the Old Capitol Prison since shortly after the tragedy, and John S.Clarke, brother-in-law of Booth, were yesterday unconditiomaily released, by or der of the Secretary of War. The Fight at Boco Chico, the Last En gagement of the War. New Orleans despatches contain further details of the flight at Boco Chico, Texas, on the 12tli inst., which, though but a trifling affair in itself, will probably hereafter be re membered, now that the rebellion is ended the surrender of Kirby Smith, as the last engagement in the desperate four years strug gle. The battle was between a few hundred men on each side, Col. Barrett commanding the Unionists and Gen. Slaughter the Rebels. The national loss was seventy-two in killed, wounded and captured, Col. Barrett being compelled to retreat, owing to Gen. Slaugh ter being reinforced. It is reported that-the rebels put to death all the Union prisoners. On Friday, the 12th inst., one company of the First Texas (Union), with about two hun dred and fifty soldiers from the Sixty-second United Slates colored infantry, under the command of Col. Barrett, were marcLn-d up the Rio Grande from Brazos Santiago. At the Pass of Boco Chico Gen. Slaughter met the advancing force with about five hundred men. A tight ensued, and General Slaughter was compelled to Jtrll back in the direction of Brownsville. Here he was reiu foregd with infantry and artillery. Colonel Barrett then attempted to fall back on Brazos, hut the rebels pressed him so close that lie lost seventy-two men killed, wound ed and prisoners. Captain Temple and Lieutenant Ludwick, of the Thirty-fourth Indiana, were among the captured. Only four soldiers belonging to the Sixty second United States colored infantry, are reported captured, but with the exception of fifteen of the company of the First Texas cavalry, the whole were Killed, wounded or captured. It is rumored that all those who were cap tured were executed. This is not impossible as both parties were Texans. The following is General Slaughter’s offi cial report of the affair : „ HeadqrV, Western Sub-District, > Texas; in the Field, May 13, ’65.) Capt. L. G. Aldrich, Asst. Adj. General .• We attacked the enemy—about eight-hun dred strong—this evening at three o’clock, and drove him in confusiou eight miles, kill ing and wounding about thirty and capturing eighty prisoners, with many arms and accou trements. OwiDg tq the scattered condition of the men, a halt was ordered. Captain Car riugton’s command coming up, lie was again attacked and driven within one mile of Brazos, when darkness put an end to the pursuit. Had not our artillery horses broken down, we would, doubtless, have captured the whole command. I cannot speak too highly of the sagacity of Colonel Ford and the gallantry of his command. Our loss was four or five severely wounded. We did not have three hundred in the fight, large numbers not having arriv ed. J, E. Slaughter, Brigadier Gen. Com’g. * Official—L. G. Aldrich, Assist. Adj, Gen. PRICE. 5 CENTS Jeff Davis and .lark Ketch. Hundreds of letters have been received by the President, from all parts of the country, many of them from discharged soldiers, pray ing to be allowed the privilege of playing Jack Ketch for Jeff Davis; and an equal number of letters have been received from ladies all over the States, suggesting the dis position to be made of the female toggery in which Jeff Davis played his part of “women aud children.” There was received to-day at the Executive office, a long rope, stained black, • made of South Carolina cotton, and {>rovided with two slip nooses, artistically ashioned, seut by the daughter of the first rope maker who erected a rope-walk near Boston, with a request that it should be used in haugiug Davis and Breckinridge. This is the third coil of rope that has been forward ed for tbis purpose. There arc constant applications at the War Department for permission to inspect Jeff. Davis’ historical female toggery, which are necessarily declined, as otherwise the rush would interfere too much with public busi ness. An evening paper suggests that they be placed in a case in the Patent Office, to accommodate all who may desire to- see the last ditch of the Southern confederacy. Release of Manager Ford and John 8. Clarke from Prison. The Secretary of War to-day ordered the unconditional release from the Old Capi tol prison of John T. Ford, proprietor of Fold’s Theatre, and John S. Clarke, brother in-law of the assassin Booth. On Friday night while the fire was still ra ging on Broad street, the guard discovered a fire iu the parlor of Mr Fargo on Renold street. On proceeding to the building ho found the curtains of one of the windows was in flamesalso a portion of the wood work. As the flames had not made much headway they were quickly extinguished. The tire was undoubtedly the work of an in cendiary. Our citizens should be doubly watchful and vigilant uutii matters get set-' tied. Express Enterprise.— We understand that the Express Company will start a wagon line North which will run to Columbia, Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh, Danville, Richmond, Goldsboro, Wilmington and intermediate points. It will run regularly hereafter, leaving Au gusta every Monday. The Mexican Situation. From Matamoras. Mexico, now become a point of much interest, owing to the struggle for supremacydn progress iu its vicinity be tween the republican and imperial forces, despatches have been received to tile 15th inst., giving most interesting details of events there and along the Meccan border. When Gen. Negrete, with a considerable force of republicans, appeared before Matamoras, af ter important successes in the interior, all was excitement and alarm; but Gen. Mejia, the imperial commandant, though having but a small body of troops under aim, resolved to defend his position, aud made every pre paration. Some skirmishing took place, but suddenly, iu the night, Negrete, for-some un explained reason, marched his army away, it was said, to Monterey. On tho 15th inst. quiet had returned to the town, and Mejia having received reinforcements, he was con fident of holding it if again attacked. The republicans were said to' be very finely armed and equipped. Where they got their materi el from was not known. Matamoras and other Mexican towns on the Rio Grande have severely felt the collapse of the rebellion.— During its existence they prospered amazing ly, and their merchants and business men were rapidly acquiring wealth, owing to the profits of the blockade running trade. Now that the demand tor the contraband goods is at an end, these- towns have sunk to their former insignificant business proportions,— Mr. Wood, the American Consul inMatamo ras, confines himself to the duties of a com mercial agent, and is not interfered with by the imperial authorities. Jefferson Darla Indicted, A true bill of indictment for treason has been found against Jeff. Davis by the Grand Jury of Washington, and it is said that as soon as the attendance of the witnesses for the prosecution can be procured he will be taken from the casemate in Fortress Monroe,’ where he is now in close confinement, and conveyed to Washington for trial. Washington, May, 26, 1865. The Grand Jury of the District to-day found a bill of itdictment against Jeff. Da vis afld John C. Breckenridge for high trea son. Davis and Breckenridge are indicated separately. The overt act was the raid in July last within the District of Columbia and the jurisdiction of this Court, the killing of citizens * and the destruction of prop erty. Breckenridge being present in person and Jeff. Davis constructively. District At torney Carrington announced the fact in the Court, and asked for the bench warrant in the case of Breckenridge, who is still at. large. He also asked that such steps may be taken as will bring Davis before the Court for trial. . Tlie Amnesty Proelamat lon does not re store Citizenship. Washington, May 26,. J 865. * The Attorney General has just made a most important decision. He affirms that the am nesty proclamation was a means only only to secure a specific purpose, which was the suppression of the rebellion. The rebellion ended, the amnesty is void. It does not le store citizenship, property, or vested rights. The President has no power to pardon ex cept for what is past. The executive clemen cy cannot stretch to the future. Therefore, decrees of confiscation there must stand. The decision will be given to the public in a few days. The National Loan. —The recent falling off in the subscriptions to the Seven-Thirty Loan is attributable to the fact that fears have been entertained that there might be a tight money market, but of this there need ke no apprehension as there will be no demand on the National banks for some time to come, as there are now sufficient funds in the hands of the Assistant, Treasu rer to pay all the present wants of the Gov ernment. -rr’fct
