The undersigned, as General Subscription Agent, Is authorised by the Secretary of the Treasury to continue the sale of this popular Loan, and TEN DATS public notice will be given of discontinuance. ABOUT TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS remain unsold, and this amount is scarcely sufficient to furnish a basis for the circulation of the National Banking Associations now being formed in overy Part of the Country. But a short time must elapse before this loan Is wholly ab sorbed, the demand from Europe. Germany especially, being quite active. ' As it Is well known that the Seeretsry of the Trea sury has ample and unfailing resources In the duties on imports, internal revenues, and In the Issue of interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes, It Is nearly cer tain that it will net he necessary for him for a long time to come to Issue further permanent Loans, the interest and principal of which are payable in Gold. These considerations must lead to the prompt conclu sion that the time Is not fardietant when these ‘ ‘ Five- Twenties” will sell at a handsome premium, as was the result with the “Seven-thirty” Loan, when it was all ■old, and could no longer be subscribed for at par. Thie ls a - SIX PER CENT. LOAN, the internet and principal being payable in coin, thus yielding about bight per cent, per annum at the present) premium on gold. •. It la called ‘ ‘ Fire-Twenty, ” from the faot that whilst the Bonds may rum for ftoenft/ years, yet the Govern ment has the right to pay them off fit Bold at par, at any time after Jive yean. ' The Interest is paid half yearly on the first days of No vember and .

When the income exeeedi six hundred dol lars per annum. Income from all other investments, inch as mortgages, railroad stocks, bonds, &e** mus pay from three to five per cent, tax on the income. . Banka and Bankers throughout the country will con tinue to dispose of the Ronds, and all" orders by mall or otherwise properly attended to. The Treasury Department having perfected arrange* mints for the. prompt delivery of Bonds, Subscribers will be enabled to receive them at the time of subseri bin*, or at ferthest in FOUR days.

While we were deceiving the foe at these places, the entire army had broken camp, and were rapidly marching for the lower fords. The sth Corps, whieh had been enoaraped between Kelly’s and Germania Fords, crossed the Rapidan at Calpeper Mine Ford, early Thursday morning. The old quartz crushing establishment still remains, and on the shattered door of a long, low building, I .could distinguish the half-obliterated letters of the word «»Office.” F.ona few miles hereabouts, the soil has been completely turned over. I fear the seekers after golden treasures fount! nothing to console them for wearied frames and blistered hands. The posi tion assigned General Sykes was on the extreme left. He was to maroh his corps along the Mine road to Parker’s store, where he would And the -*Fredericksburg and Orange plank-road, which he was to pursue as far as New Hope Church. He suc ceeded in reaching his position by nightfall. Gen. Gregg, with the 2d Division of Cavalry, met the enemy near New Hope. After a severe fight, in which he lost near one hundred men, he retired be hind our infantry. One division of General Craw ford’s Pennsylvania Reserve Corps drove the rebels some distance. About'midway between the ford and New Hope Church, Captain Winslow, of this corps, lost some fifteen or twenty'wagons of ammu nition. Two guerillas, dressed in the uniform of our-colonels, came out of some tributary road and beckoned the teamsters to turn in that way. These men were apparently colonels, so the traias fol* lowed these pseudo officers*who soon threw off the sheep’s clothing, and in wolfish tones cried “surren" der.” Some of the men applied fire to the canvas covering of the wagons, and soon the ammunition was destroyed and the mules stampeded. The sth Corps being in position on the left, I will now proceed to follow the 2d Corps, which started simultaneously with the sth, and crosßed Germania ford. "When the head of the column reached the riverside the pontoons had not been laid, The men were so eager to be over tjiat two brigades waded the stream, and discovered the water to be much deeper and colder than anticipated. Once across the Rapidan, the march to Robertson’s Tavern was without incident or interruption, but, as we neared the cress-roads, the enemy made his appearance, and strove to gain the eminence where the tavern stands. Warren immediately saw the design and frustrated it. DEATH OF COEONEE HESSER DREXEL & 00. PHILADELPHIA. % jj* s, MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1803* ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. CSpeclal Correspondence of The Press, 3 History of the Date Advance-The Retro grade* A WINTER TRIP—HALF WAY AND RETURN. The Army of the Potomao has returned from its usual winter trip over the Rapidan* It generally makes-a fall and spring visit to Culpeper, and then crosses the Rapldan; there are few pleasures in such expeditions. The Correspondent’s temper and mind becomes so jaundiced by the universal yellow mud, that he refrains from smiling at the odd oaths of perplexed teamsters } refuses to countenance the increasing jollity of the few contrabands left in the wake of the rebel army, and actually finds himself in ill humor with everybody and everything. Very few white people remained in their houses. Bong before our skirmish line encircled the dilapidated frame tenements, the occupants would fly. Such consternation was spread by our approach, that very few succeeded in carrying off any of their personal effects, It seems to be the general impression throughout the wilderness, that Yankees are fero cious monsters with horned heads. I noticed those who were unable to effect their escape, and thuß had to look upon us, seemed greatly surprised that we should appear so “ human like,’’ that we had clotheß upon our backs, and talked very plain Eaglteh. THE START ON THURSDAY WEEK. Thursday was the time we started from the differ ent encampments about Brandy Station, There had been heavy rains two or three days previously, but this morning dawned brightly, and the mud on the roads bid fair to become dry in a-day or two. G-en, Caster, who had command of the Sd Cavalry DivK sion during the absence of General Kilpatrick, made several threatening demonstrations at Raccoon and Morton Fords. Our men were frequently drawn out in line of battle. The display was so tempting that the rebels shelled the woods and plains in all directions. Caster’s brigade was at Morton, and Davies’ at Raccoon Ford. The rebels had long been anticipating that we would cross between Madison Court House and Raccoon Ford. They thought we were coming at thiß time, for I saw the men, in gray uniforms, swarm into the long irregular line of fortifications on the opposite shore. MOVEMENTS OF THE CORPS. The 2d division, commanded by General Webb, was deployed far ofl' to the right, on the road Which leads to Raccoon ford, Hayes’ division was thrown across, and to the right and left of the Fredericks bnrg and Orange Court House turnpike. The first encounter bstween the skirmishers of the opponents was very fierce; Here, at this time, Lieutenant Colonel Heseer, of the 72(1 Pennsylvania, received a Minie ball behind the ear. His death was instanta neous, without a struggle.,His feet were tied to gether and his eyes decently closed by the chaplain, who carefully cut from the coat a shoulder strap; and severed from the gray head a lock of hair. Poor fellow I he had but lately returned to his regiment,. of which he had been lieutenant colonel since its organization by Colonel Baxter. He was buried ■ there with as much respect as possible. I need not , say he was brave, for already his gallantry has been proved. THE REBEL YELL—A YANKEE CHARGE. Colonel Carroll’s brigade, of the 3d division, ex tended across the turnpike. There was a slight but , perceptible bustle In the dense pines where the rebels were concealed. Soon a brigade emerged from Greenwood Shade, and charged with one of: their peculiar demoniacal yells, Have the readers of The Press ever heard them screamas they charged? The sound is one of wailing, almost; it is along, j sharp scream, and while you listen your nerves thrill, an undefined shiver passes over, one as they would fain chut out the sounds by stopping their ears. On they came, firing as they ran. Our men stood up in beautiful array. Their breast straps glittered in the dancing sunlight; one foot was thrown forward, and not a motion along the whole line betrayed their humanity. These men were the hardy foresters from Ohio. The 7th Virginia, who invariably insisted upon having the word Union in a parenthesis between the seven and Virginia, Then came the loose.jointed, long-limbed hoosiers of the, Uth Indiana, who could walk down a cavalry horse. They gave the rebels one volley as they approached. Sergeant Major Strickland, of the 7th Virginia, ran frantically along the line, waving his hat, and cheer ing defiance at the approaching Toe. Shortly after, he fell pierced by a rifle ball through both legs. An observer can see the first signs of confusion in a long, line of soldiers. They waver slightly at first, then the distances between the file closes, grows greater and at last they about face and retreat. The chargers were now on the double-quick, but their backs were towards us, and they were being charged. "When they reached cover they halted to breathe awhile. Night; stole stealthily upon the foemen. The 2d Corps had reached the position assigned them across the turnpike and t along the road leading to Raccoon Ford; Sykes was on the left, Warren in the centre; but French was busy fighting in the thick woods, and had not reached his . position on.the right. Friday night I stopped at Robertson’s tavern. Our men slept on their arms; the pickets of both armies faced each other a few hundred yards from the house. With Col, Carroll I started out under cover of the darkness to_yisit our outposts. The night was cold; the atmosphere thiok and hazy. The few stars on duty winked and blinked as if they could sleep on their post. We had traversed but a short distance when a dozen dark forms leaped from a crouching position on the ground to their feet. A dozen rifles touched pur breasts menaoingly; but we quieted the watchful soldiers as a man would his pet bound, who barked at him in gloom. “Fie, men! we.are friends.” The captain of the post whispered in my ear, “Re very quiet, air, for they fire thiß way when they hear a noise.” “ Hark*” he continued, ’’.hear that fellow oough, and listen how his tin-cup rattles when he moves. He is just there,” said the Captain, pointing to a hollo w in the ground about seventy five yards off. I was straining my eyes to see the rebel piokets when Carroll broke the supernatural stillness by the loud oommand, “ Forward, pioneers! throw up some dirt here for a protection.” Imme diately two guns flashed; two bullets out the air over our heads, and then followed two stunning re ports. Every one fell on his face; but I, with cha racteristic 'discretion, chose the time they were loading their pieces to evacuate such an exposed position. THE WILDERNESS—A FIGHT WITH EWELL’S CORPS. All is Bteady in the centre. The camp-fireß grow dull. ThOße who are not watching sleep; perohance they dream of peace with rifle in their arms; or, it may be, troops of friends frolic about them in imagi-' nation. Real foes confront them. Nodoubtsome long for a merry Christmas or sigh for just onemore happy New Year. We left the 3d Corps crossing at Jacob’s MUJIs. The 6th Corps came immediately in their rear. Friday morning, they started from their bivouac at this place, and marched towards Robert son’s tavern. After marching two or three miles along a forest which contained more mazes than the labyrinth, they diverged to the right and got on the wrong road. Here they met Johnson’s division of Ewell’s corps. General Prince’s division was in ad vance, andimmediatelyengagedtheenemy. General Carr, with the 3d Division, now came up and quietly deployed to the left of Prinoe’s 2d Division. General Birney held his Ist Division in reserve. The 3d Di vision, under General Carr, werejmt as well used to flghtirg as the rest of the army. They formerly be longed to Nlilroy’s command, and' many of them were raw men. The rebels brought up their re serves, and by superior weight pressed us back about half a mile. Randolph’s battery, under command of Lieutenant Bueklyn, did fearful execution. His guns were double-shotted, and" fired 1 at close range. For three hours the fight had raged without ad vantage to either side. During this time the enemy had made a dozen oharges, with frightful impetu osity, but each time they were repulsed with dread ful carnage. Gen. Birney now brought his large di vision into action. The enemy held a high, wooded crest, in front of which was an open glade. Over this plain our men charged, oheering loudly, Tho rebels gave way, and our whole line was forced for ward as they yielded the ground, leaving about three hundred dead and wounded behind them. . Never was thero more deadly rifle firing. It wan Bone princi pally'by files, but roared like long continuous vol leys. The Oth Corps took no part in this engage- THREE CENTS. meat, though their skirmishers were out on the right. Gen. Sedgwick detached Russell’s brigade, and started them into the fight, but they were too late. Juat as they got within range a shell exploded over the front file of the 49th Pennsylvania. Four men were knocked down by the concussion, and re mained insensibleJor four hours. Not one of them was scratched. In this encounter with Ewell's corps at Morris’ Farm, the 3d Corps lost about 460 men killed and wounded. MOONLIGHT ON THE B A.T TLE-FIELDi Near daylight the moon peeped above' the topsof the reasinous pines. Ah I those who have looked upon these things can never eff ace the impressions there received irom the tablets or memory: It was a battle-field, and the cold mooh Made the pale dead yet paler. Two lav there; One with tl e ghastly marble of thegrave Upon his fane; the other wan, but yet Touched with the huesoflifo, and the warm breath Upon its parted lips. REBEL RATIONS—CORN AND* ACORNS; The rebels had their haversacks slung to their shoulders, for beside their dead I hare examined their contents. 'What think you they fed com, shelled it is true, but hard and cold; Roasted acorns were also there, but nothing more. Some more fortunate ones had a cake made of persim mons and corn meal—a heterogeneous mass, and might be taken, or mistaken, for plum: pudding. Their wounded have not the power of patient endu rance poßieaaed by our men. Frequently I- heard them cry “ Yankee—oh, Yankee, give me some water vmy leg hurts.” The killed wefe bu ried in dead of night, at Widow Morris’, the wound ed placed in ambulances; REBEL GENERALS —S TU ART’S VANITY; Prisoners told me, Ewell, who had long been in ill health, had died. Also, that Generals Stuart.and Jones were wounded. The two latter were implaca ble enemies. It is but a'short time since Stuart, had Jones court martiaied fordifcobedience. Jones plead guilty, saying he would not obey such triflwg'orders about reviews just to pamper the vanity of such a fellow as Stuart, who of right should be. his subor dinate. The rebel cavalry serviceis not as desirable * an arm of the service as of yore. Every man is re sponsible for his own horse, and can get nothing with whioh to feed it. They 1 - must reverse the old chorus, sung in my dozen of times: “If you want good times,-just join Stuart’s Cavalryv But if you want to get LicJred, join the Linkam in fantry. ” • ’ ■ . . MINE'RUN. General Caster crossed the river, and after a brisk fight, took possession of the enemy’s works at Ra* coon ford. Friday night our entire army was across the Rapidan. Early on Saturday morning the 3d and 6th Corps came up, and formed a junction with Warren. The day was very disagreeable. A cold, dreary rain, had set in and promised to last for.some time. The 2d Corpß, followed by the Ist, pushed the rebels to Mine Run after a severe skirmish. Here they had a chosen position and formidable earthworks. Mine run is a little rivulet, whioh courses pleasantly along between two very high ridges. In Virginia one meets these little runs fre quently, and generaUy there is an open glade on both sides, for mileß and miles. Such was here the case. The rebels stood boldly out in line of battle, tbeir flags waving in the fitful breezes that swept over the bold bald crest. The position mußt be flanked—if stormed it must be at heavy expense, and the possession of the works would be oi no ad vantage without we could get fresh supplies. THE PROMISE OF BATTLE. ' Warren was withdrawn front the centre, and hi B place taken by the 6th Corps. The 2d Corps and one division of the 6th Corps then went round to the plank road on the left. Here Warren settled down, and we all thought that the fate of the rebels in our front was sealed. Telegraph wires were run along the whole battle-line; the reserve artillery was all up, and the heavy Biege guns in position. Monday promised to be a bloody day. Ab each in the stormine parties threw off his knapsack, he looked upon it silently, sorrowfully, as though he never expected to carry it more. In sooth, each man thought his death* warrant sealed; but all were determined to take the works. Some of the officers, as they passed me, silently held out their hand, while I gave it an expressive squeeze; others would say, mournfully; “Farewell.” I could only respond, “ God blesß ye, boys ! n CHARGE AND RECALL. There was to be an overture by the artillery, which was to last an hour and a half. Then the whole line wbb to charge simultaneously. Our guns in the centre met with little response from the rebels, wbile all was still on tight and left. What was the meaning of thial See, already the 3d Corps charge, they go right into the breastworks, the rebels fly, and our brave fellows pursue them a mile. Hark! a single bugle strain; It sounds a recall. Back, elowly, reluctantly, come our soldiers into their old line. It teems the rebels extended their right and strengthened their breastworks. We must give over the attempt and recrossthe Rapidan. SUFFERING. The suffering of our men was intense. It was a very cold day and no fires were allowed on the front, and the men had no blankets with them. On the skirmish line you could not raise a finger without its being shot. Their sharpshooters were concealed in the branches of the trees, and sometimes picked off tbe men aB they were drinking coffee. Our men had to be relieved at Dight. Chaplain Barbour, the fighting chaplain of the 2d United States Sharpshooters, and the best shot in the regiment, waß wounded in the leg on Sunday while practising with his piece-on the rebel rifle-pits. Lieutenant Colonel Krepp, of the Ist United States Sharpshooters, about the same time. BACK AGAIN. Tuesday morning began the retrograde movement, the wounded, the reserve artillery, and the trains crossing at Culpeper, Mine, and Ely’s fords. The rebel cavalry followed us up very closely, but they have been bo completely shattered by our cavalry that there remains of them scarcely a wreck of their former gloiy. Most of the horses had been three days without forage, the men getting'only half ra tions, and our wounded men needed care and nurs ing. Every one was glad to get beck, yet sorry we did not penetrate further. I think our entire loss less than one thousand men.' The names of hundreds of men who • have trifling wounds get among the wounded and swell the list prodigiously. As far as we went, there was success. Perhaps we did right to not tempt the blind goddess too much, THE WAR ON THE FRONTIER. Atrocities of tlie Guerilla Stanwatte— Burning of the House of *T ohn Roast and Murder of Ills Sou-IM-Lavv, [Correspondence of The Press. ]. Fort Bluff, Caehokee Nation, Nov. 3. The rebels, under the guerilla Col. Stanwatie, made & raid early in November last into the heart of the Cherokee Nation, murdering non-combatants, and applying the*toroh of the incendiary as they went. Arriving at Park Hill, at midnight, they thoroughly searched the residence of the Chief John Boss, robbed it of everything they could pack, then deliberately set fire to the building, leaving nothing but the black and smoky ruins to mark the spot where once steed his elegant and hospitable man sion. The furniture of the house waß of rosewood* and purchased, I am informed, at Messrs. Moore & Campion’s, one of the best furniture warehouses in your city, which, with a handsome rich-toned piano, and a large and well-selected library, were all con sumed by the flames. After perpetrating this piece of vandalism against this loyal Cherokee leader, they proceeded to the house of hiß daughter, near by, killed her husband, who was sick at the time, shooting and stabbing him three times; after that robbed and fired her house. Thence they went to Tahlequah, the capital of the Nation, five 'miles distant, where they burned the national buildings, viz: the committee house, the council bouse, the public house of the chief and the treasurer. While they were burning', they robbed and plundered the defenceless women.and children in the Union houses irr the place, leaving them not even a feather bed 5 cutting them open and taking off the ticking. On their return South, they robbed in the same way the mission station, which formerly belonged to the American Board of Foreign Missions, giving notice to the venerable Mi. Hitchcock, a missionary of that Board for more than? thirty years in the county, that theywould return in five days, and murder him, his wife, and the widow of the Rev. Samuel Worcester also, an old and esteemed mis sionary, with the families of Mr. Palmer and Hicks, did they not leave in that time. Will not a just God frown upon such oruelty and inhumanity! In haste, yours, truly, J. w. s. The Scarcity oe Genuine Bourbon.— Some parties interested in the liquor trade seem to have misunderstood. our remarks of last week, on the scarcity of genuine Bourbon whisky. We did not mean to say that there is none whatever of the genu ine article to be fouud. What we-meant to say was, that of the oceans of fluid sold under that name, the quantity of the real beverage to be met with was but a drop in the bucket. For instance, there is now on hand in the city of New York over 60,000 barrels of whisky purporting to be Bourbon, and sold under that designation. Now, there are hut three counties in Kentucky that manufacture this whisky, and no distiller manufactures over-600.bar rels a year; and the whole amount manufactured yearly in the three counties mentioned—Nelson, Harrison, and Bourbon—does not exceed ten thou sand barrels, if it reaches that figure, and yet we have consumed in this country, within the last three years, over a hundred thousand barrels—more than enough'to launch the Gieat Eastern. Of course, the greater part of the amount imbibed is made else where than in Kentucky; chiefly in Baltimore and New York. Some of it derives its origin from Ohio. The fact that General Boyle,, as previously stated, lias prohibited the manufacture of the article en tirely; of course diminishes the supply; and the chances of a purchaser obtaining the genuine arti cle, though some few houses no doubthave a.umifced. quantity on hand, is about equal to the onanceß of drawing a prize in a lottery. .And this leads us to repeat our previous recommendation of Wolfe’s • Scheidam Schnapps as a substitute for an article now going out of the market, and as a wholesome, safe, and agreeable stimulant, possessing many valu-- able medicinal properties. It is imported in sealed bottles, and sold under the Custom-house seal, in cases of one dozen or more each, so that its purity is as far above suspicion as that of Caesar’s wife.—. JV. l r .

It appearsj however, that the 91at New York Volunteers; in the fight at Irish Bend, was assisted by a pet dog, which did the full duty of a soldier in the hottest of the engagement, and captured a rebel. The 9ißt was heavily pressed by a whole brigade of rebels, when the command was given to charge the enemy. The regiment dashed forward at double quick, driving the rebels before them pelMnell. The dog joined in the charge, leading his regiment some distance, and, as the rebels were obliged to scale a fence in their flight, was soon upon their heels. He made for one of them, whom he seized by his rags, and there held him until a momberof the 9ist came up.
