THIRD 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 15,1365, and are payable three years from that date in curren cy, or are convertible at the option of the holder 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, ami Municipal taxation, which adda .from one to three per cent, pea- annum to their value, ac cording to the rate levied upon other property. The interest is payable semi annually by coupons attached to each note, which may be ent off and sold to any bank or bankers The interest at 7.30 per cent, amounts to One cent per day on a SSO note. Two cents per day on a sfcloo 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 th.s Ta..d Series are precisely similar iu 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 0 3-ioihs in currency. Subscribers will deduct the interest in currency 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 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, iu 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 I^EOPI.E. Less than $'230,000,000 of the Loan authorized by Congress are now oiKthe 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 Louns. Iu order that citizens of every town section of tile country muy be offorded facilities for taking the Loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Private Bankers throughout the eouutry have generally a; reed to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers will select their own ugents, iu whom they have confidence, and who only are to be r capon si l»lg for the delivery of the note> lor w hich they receive others.

[Correspondence of Savannah Herald. \ LKTTtR FHOM JACKSONVILLE. Business—Repairs on the Railroad—Line of Steamers between Savannah and Jacksonville - The Negroes—Collision between White and Black of the Generals. Jacksonville, May 31, 1865. 7 o the Editor of the Savannah Herald : But little outward change has taken place since the termination of the war. The peo ple come in worn the interior without re striction, but they have no money that is worth auylhing here, and their coming adds but little to the business of thy place. The work of repairing the gap in the rail road between hete and Baldwin was com menced this week, With its now being an open port, and the facilities for bringing in the productions of the country from the in terior, Jacksonville may receive an impetus in becoming a place of some business impor tance. Is there to be a line of steamboats put ou between here and Savannah ? There were formerly five steamboats running every day between the two The advantages to the place were muffial. Will it not be ad vantagoous for a steamboat to ply weekly between the two ports, touching at interme diate points. A large number iu the interior will go Sortli this summer, aud would pre fer this route if theie could be auy ceitaiuty of regular communication. .The negroes have flocked into the town during the past week by scores. They came mostly from this side of the Swanee River. West of there they liape generally remained with their former owneis to work on the plantations for wages. A little diflicuity occurred at Lake City while a portion of the 3d U. S. C. T. were on their way to TkUahassee; the treble was with some of the men of General M Cook’s command, who have been sent as guatds to the trains over the railroads. Order was re stored before anything serious bad oceurred. No trouble occurred when they arrived at Tallahassee. General Vodges and Staff, accompanied by General Scannon went to Tallahassee yester day. Gen. M'Cook was expeeted to return to Georgia the first of this week. JFrom the Macou Journal, othj Value of Georgia Bank Notes. * We give the following, from a reliable souree, of the present rates at which Geor gia bills arc purchased by brokers iu green backs, or used iu business transactions. Dif ferent funds and particular circumstances might vary the nominal value that holders or purchasers place upou them. For this reason, we cannot assure the public of auy fixed value, or what may be the changes of a day or hour. The following are the rates per dollar, paid fer them : Marine Bank of Geoigia 40 cts.

M. Selkirk, Gen’l Agt. C. R. R. makes the following statement. The flames buist forth in the vicinity of the oil room. Nothing was stored in that room save oil, and that was contained in metal vats sunk below the level of the floor. No other combustible matter was ever depos ited there. The adjoining room held the pro visions used for the bauds ou the line of the road. There was turpentine in the Depot, but not in close proximity to tbe oil room. The explosions were caused by the brass pieces, loaded, which were shipped up by the military authories from Waynesboro, and by a number of muskets and a hundred pound box of gunpowder, also forwarded by the unitary. The depot was closed by the clerk in charge at 6.30 P. M. He weut through every portion of it in so doing, and as it was nearly an hour by suu, no other light was re quired. A sentry patrols the entire legtb, of the building inside the yard—another per forms the same duty outside towards the street, aud our watchman is stationed iu the rear. The latter passed down the buiidiug close by the doors, a few minutes before the tire broke out. I have endeavored to collect all the evi dence I can of tbe probable origin of the fire. The Corporal of tbe guard ascribes it to lightning. Mr. Day, watchman, asserts that be saw the lightning strike, and before he could recover himself and cross the yard tbe Jhone broke forth. Mr. McLaughlin states that be saw tbe lightning strike iu that direc tion, and that it was immediately followed by the alarm of lire. And Mr. Derry of the Or phan Asylum, witnessed the scene from his street porch. 1 have uo reason to suppose that the fire was the act ot an incendiary ; and do not think under tbe circumstances that it was caused by spontaneous combus tion. Gen. W. T. Sherman. The Charleston Courier has been favored by a friend with the annexed copy of a let ter written by Major-General \V. T. Sher man, acknowledging the kiud attentions be stowed on his child by officers aud soldiers of the Thirteenth Regulars; Gayoso House, > Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 4—Midnight. > Captain C. C. Smith Commanding Battalion Thir tenth Regulars : My Dear Friend: —l cannot sleep to night till I record an expression of the deep feelings of my heart to you aud to the offi cers and soldiers of the battalion for their kind behaviour to my poor child. I realize that you all feel for my family the attach- ) ment of kindred; and I assure you all of full reciprocity. Consistent with a sense of duly to my profession and oflice I could not leave my post, and sent for my family to come to me iu that fatal climate, and iu that sickly period of the year, and behold the reply ! The ehiUl who bore my name, and in whose future I reposed with more con fidence than I did iu my own plaus of life, now floats a mere corpse, st oking a grave iu a distant land, with a weeping mother, brother aud sisters clustered about him. But, for myself, I can ask. no sympa thy. On, on I must go till I meet a sol dier’s fate, or see mj r country rise superior to all factious, till its flag is adored and res pected by ourselves aud all the powers of earth. But my poor Willy was, or thought lie was, a Sergeant of the Thirteenth. I have seen his eye brighten and his heart beat as he beheld the battalion under arms, and ask ed me if they were uot real soldiers. Child as he was, lie had the enthusiasm, the pure love of truth, honor and love of country which should animate all soldiers. God only know’s why he should die thus young. He is dead, but will uot be forgotten till those who knew him in life have followed him to that same mysterious end. Please convey to the battalion my heart felt thanks, and assure each aud all that if, in after years, they call ou me or mine, and mention that they were of the thirteenth Regulars when poor Willy was a Sergeant, they will have a key to the affections of my family that will openjall it has ; that we will share with them our last blanket, our last crust. Your friend, W. T. Sherman, Major-General. The Assassination—Official Note of Sympathy. —The following is a translation of the official note addressed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of his Prussian Majesty to Mr Judd, the Minister of the United States at Berlin, relative to the murder of Presideut Lincoln, aud the attempted assassination of Secretary Seward: Berlin, April 27, 1865.—The Royal Gov ernment is deeply grieved by the news re ceived by the mail yesterday of the murder of Presideut Lincoln, and the simultaneous attempt on the life of the Secretary of State, Mr. Seward. Iu consequence of the so happily establish ed frieudly relations between Prussia and the Uuited States, it falls upon the undersigned to announce to that Government the sincere sympathy of the Royal Government in the heavy bereavement which has bean inflicted by this crime, and therefore respectfully re quest Mr. Judd to transmit the expressions of this sentiment to his Government. The undersigned has the honor, etc. Bismahk. Hon. Mr. Judd, etc. Victor Hugo on the Death of Lincoln The Boston Liberator says : “The following ‘latest utterance’ on American affairs by tbe illustrious poet, patriot,' and fh-oserit, - Victor Hugo, has been, received by Mr. G. Julian Harney, now of this city : “Hauteville House, Guernsey, May 4, 1865.—Dear Mr. Julian Harney: I thank you lor your excellent letter. “At the moment you were writing, the North was victorious and Lincoln alive. To day Lincoln is dead. That death ennobles Lincoln, and confirms the victory. The South has gained nothing by this crime. “Slavery is abolished. “It is abolished by the glorious means with which it has been attacked and through the execrable means by which it had been defended. “Long live liberty! Long live, the Re public 1 “I press your hand, ■ Victor Hugo.” When Jeff Davis parted with his family after reaching the deck of the Pierce, he beckoned his son Jeff and . bade the young hopeful to summon Bob, bis colored body servant. When Boh made his appearance Jeff shook him warmly by the band and bade him good by. In justice to Bob it should be said that lie did not seera-at all sorry to part from liis late master. It seemed to cost Mrs. Jeff but little effort to part from her husband. As the Pierce was about getting under way, she leaned over the rail of the Clyde and called out to her husband, “Jeff'! if they will allow you, write to me and let me know what kiud of quaiters you have." Wants it Back. —A Washington des patch to the Philadelphia Press says: Mrs. It. E. Lee, wife of the late General Lee, has written to the authorities, claiming Arlington Heights as her property. She complains that the grounds have been greatly abused by our Government, and slates that she will visit .Washington in a few days for the purpose of demanding this from Presi dent Johnson. This matchless and incom parable piece of impudence will be treated by the authorities with contempt, as it richly deserves. Thk Crops In Central Georgia. —The Milledgeville Recorder says that the wheat harvest iu that section commenced to a limi ted extent last week. The cold dry spring, with the frost ot late, has considerably in jured it. We hopp, uethertbeless, there will be enough made for domestic consumption. Corn and other growth has, from late rains, considerably improved, though more back ward than usual. Prospects on the whole are as yet tolerably fair. The Emperor Napoleon has] jest turned 57—a mere boy.yet. PRICE. 5 CENTS THE FASHIONS OF PARIS. Mr. Sala sends to the London Illustrated News the following memoranda, picked up duriug a four day’s holiday in Paris recently; ladies’ fashions. To the ladies a few words about the new est Paris fashions. First, bonnets are worn ; but there are no longer any bonnets to wear, only fronts. The falls or curtains have been sliced away to maike room for a prodigious display of "back hair.” The crowns have entirely disappeared to give way to a won derful airaugement of jewelled daggers, and arrows, and spears, which seem to be thrust through the skull, after the curious fashion which has so loug prevailed among the peas ant girls of the Italian Tyrol; and the enta blature, so td speak, of the bonnet (by which 1 mean the architrave of tulle, the frieze of silk or velvet, and the cornice of artificial flowers) alone remains. Tin* latest French bonnet, indeed, is like Hudibras’s story of the bear and the fiddle—begun and broke off iu the middle. It is a magnificent but incom plete work, like Buckle's History of Civili zation, like the Nelson Monument, like Don J uau. The bonnet is very small. It would just suit oue of Cremer’s two guinea doffs ; but what there is is gorgeous I saw one lady on Monday, with appireutly a gold knife and fork transfixiug her tresses where the crown of her chapeau should have been ; another had Titiau’s bunch of grapes on the top of her head. Auother wore a bouuet front all huug with Byzantine and Algerine coins, which tinkled as she walked, prettily. And a fourth, on an exquisite elliptical structure, wore a quantity of soft, green vegetable mat ter, resembling spinach. It only needed a lioached egg in the centre to be perfect.— louuets are rather dear just now ; they are “riz.” Lucy Hocquet charges 50 francs for four square inches of milliuery; and Madame Havard won’t let you look, at anything under sixty. RAQK FOR STEED ORNAMENTS. Jet ornaments, dear ladies, which have been all the rage for some time past, are falliug into disuse. .The ruu is now upou steel. The quantity of minute mariue stores worn by the fair ladies of France is astonish ing. There are steel bonnets; and the Wo man with Iron Mask may soon rival the mys terious man of that Ilk. Steel bracelets, steel necklaces, steel collars, steel decorated fans, reticules and parasols, steel brooches, fringes aud tassels, aud trimmings of steel glitter ou the graceful forms of the giace lulest ladies in Christendom. Ater steel comes straw. On ts est pas sur la paille, mais la paliie est sur tout le tnonde. — The ladies appear to havejunplaited their old straw bonnets and stuck them all over their dresses. A mantle or jacket tessalated with real straw iu fantastic devices is much pa tronized, and imitation straw for fringe is be coming universal. A black lace mantle thickly seme, or powdered with tiny straw balls very much resembling pommes de feme sautees, has attracted considerable attention. CRINOLINE GOING OUT AT LAST. Finally, crinoline seems to be really going oqt, aud the robes a queue, or loug trains, ale coming in. The latest and artl'ulest plan is 'to have a petticoat iu the same shape as the lobe, brief in front aud elongated behind; aud the dress is looped up in front to show the boots, aud, it is to be presumed, to pre sumed, to prevent the fair train-wearer Hip ping herself up every second pace or so. Artemus Ward on the Drama.—“A, Ward” has been annoyed by the remarks of ignorant people upon his great show. Many persons declare that his ‘“wax figgers” are not of a character elevated and refined. He says : 1 maintain that wax figgers is more eleva tiu than all - the plays ever wroten. Take Shakspeer for instance. People think he’s great things,* but 1 contend he is quite the reverse to the contrary. AVliat sort of sense is tliar to King Leer, who goes round enssin. bis darters,‘cliawin hup, and throwin straws at folks, larlin like a silly old koot, and mak ing ass of hitnself generally ? There's Mrs. Macbeth—she is a nice kind of woman to have, ain’t she—a putting old Mac, her husbaud, up to slayin Duuoau with a cheese-knife, while he is paying a. friendly visit to their house. O, it’s highly morality, Ispose, when she laughs wildly aud sez, “gin me the digger—i’ll let his bowels out,” or words to that effeck—i say this is all strictly proper, i spose! That Jack Favvlslafl is likewise an immoral cuss, take him how you may ; and Ilamilit is as crazy as a loon.— Thare’s Richard Third—people think he is grate things, but i look upou him in the light of a monster. He kills everybody he takes a nosion to, in cold blood, and then goes to sleep in bis tent. Bimeby he wakes up and yells for a hoss, so he cau go off aud kill some more people. If he is not a fit specimen for the guffis, then I should like to know were you find um. There's “largo, ’ who is more ornory nor pizin. See how shameful he treats that highly speclable injun gentleman, “Mr. Ottieller,” making him lor to believe his wile was tew thick with “Caslieo.” Observe bow “lergo” got “Casheo” drunk as a blind owl on corn whisky, in order to carry out his sneakin’ desines. “See how he works “Mis tlier Otheller’s” feelings up so that he goze and makes poor “Desdemouy” swallet a pil ler, which caused her doth. But I mu9t stop. At sum future time I shall continue my remarks on the drammer in which I shall show the vast superiority of wax figgers, snaix, uud the tixius, in an intellectual point of view. Robert Dale Owen is writing a life of Pres ident Lincoln. It will be published at.New York in about two years. Col, Nicolay and Major Hay, the late President’s private Sec retaries, will also write his biography, for which they.have the best of facilities, having known him so iutfbiately during the-most important years of his lile. It is said that Mr. G. A. Sala will introduce to English readers the celebrated confederate heroine Belle Boyd, whose marriage and ro mantic adventurers' have alregdy supplied paragraphs to the newspapers. Tbe work, to which Mr. Sala contributes an introduc tion, will bear the title of “Belle Boyd in Camp and Prison, written by Herself.”
