LAMP CHIMNEYS.
The worldwide reputation which these Chimneys
have acquired Sc due to their acknowledged emperioritY
over sit others. This superiority is derived from three
sources:
tat, Being fifty per cent. heavier than the common
Chimney, they may be handled with much lees care.
2d. The oval shape is an adaptation to the let llama,
the Chimney being at all points the same distance from
the hest, so that the danger of arackiasbp unequal ex.
pension is avoided.
3d.. The material of which these Chimneys are mann.
factored leuneqealled by any other eau as a rapid
conductor of heat; apd, prastically, it is foetid that the
combination renders them almost entirely free from
liability to destrnetion by the heat of the flame. Hence
the obstacle-ha theway_of the universal nee of Carbon
Oil, found in the unreasonable expense for Chimney*
hue been met and removed by the introduction of
DITHIUDGR'S FIRS-PROOF OHISENRY S.
The popularity of these Chimney's has induced some
unprincipled persons to teahouse of our name and trade

by the worthlessness of emulous Chimneys sold es oars.

Although It Is evident to the least Intelligent per.

ance are In course of consummation in South Oaro;
line, we were aesurpd,,upon inquiry at the War De
partment, this forenoon, that there was no news , '
from that portion of the Confederacy. The agents
of the Press Association continue silent, and We
have, therefore, no additional light to, throw upon
the Wootton of - affairs between Columbia and Char_
loth). Prom all appearanoes and rumors Sherman
is steadily advanoing towards Charlotte. He may,

OF
THE E CHARLESTON.- -
(Prom the ilisipeoild Dlepateb. Feb. 21.
Onlast irtmeaday night, the 18th instant, our
forces evacuated Charleston, and it IS believed that
the enemy took possession during the next day . .
..litany guns must have been abandoned by our
troops, but it Is consoling to know that the Yankees
got little else. There was no cotton at Charleston
to gladden Lincoln's heart, and the. city itself wit
little better than a deserted ruin.' Several telegraph
operators, all of them men of Northern birth, did not
come out with our forces, but remained to receive
the Yankees.
The evacuation of Charleston should rather in.
spire cheerfulness than gloom. Sherman can only
be checked by an Immediate concentration in his
front of all our troops, both in North and South
Carolina. If this is done, he may be defeated and
his present expedition broken up. If lie is not de
feated, he will march straight up the railroad to
Charlotte, thence to Salisbury, thence to Greens
boro anti Daniille, and so on to Richmond. Biariy
different estimates have been made of Shermen , s
army. Some think he has sixty thousand men.
We know be has four full army corps and a strong
force of cavalry. His corps will not number less
than twelve then/Mad men.
CHARLESTON.'
While the War Department could furnish us no
thing upon the subject, It was generally believed that
Charleston, "the cradle of secession," and "the
very nest of the rebellion," has been evacuated by
our troops. Sherman, by his bold advance, has thus
accomplished, without bloodshed, what Dupont,
Dahigren, Gilmore, t Co., have in vain attempted,
though aided by the combined naval force of Yen
keedom. This ill-fated city, or rather the remnant
of it, will now eiperience to its full extent the
mercy and magnanimity of Yankee rule. The
Mercury moved Its quarters several weeks ago In
anticipation of this sad result.
FROM THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA
All continues quiet on the lines before Richmond
and Petersburg. Grant congratulates himself on
holding General Lee here while Sherman is turned
loose upon the Carolinas. •
Passengers by the train yesterday evening from
Petersburg reported that everything remained com
paratively quiet on the south side of the James.
Grant is evidently waiting with anxious solicitude
to learn the result of Sherman's bold venture.
Things en the north side of the river, we kern, retain
their chronic quietude.
NORTH CAROLINA.
RAIDS ON TARBORO AND GOLDSBOB.O.—It ie
said that a cavalry force of the enemy was advancing
on Tarboro, on Tar river, near the' Wilmington
and Weldon railroad. A force—numbers unknown
-1s also reported as moving on Goldsboro, from
Newborn, along the south bank of the Neuse. We
fear there is much truth In these statements. The
enemy have, for several weeks, been concentrating
at Newborn.. Raleigh is one hundred miles from
Newham ; Goldsboro is midway between the two
places.
It was reported that a large Yankee cavalry
force was advancing on Salisbury. from East Ten
nessee, but there was nothing in it.
MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS.
IN FAVOR 0a NEGRO SOLDIERS.—The 30th Vir
ginia Infantry, we learn, took the vote on Saturday
upon the negro question, and all the companies save
one—Company o—voted, with but few dissenting
voices, in favor of giving the colored natives an op
portunity of defending their country against Dutch,
renegade flagmen, and. Yankees.
THE NEGROES Fame 017 R SOLDIERS.—A corres
pondent writes the Lynchburg Virginian .from
Lewisburg, Va.: It Is right that you should know
what occurred in this little town night before last.
The resident negroes, actuated by motives which
would have put to the blush the would-be philan
thropy of the Yankees, gave al magnificent feast
to the soldiers who happened to be sojourning here.
The feast was gotten up exclusively by negroes, and
at their own suggestion." .
Paola KneeTorr.—The Kinston eorreepondent of
the Raleigh Confederate, under date Of February
12th writes that paper as follows :
"IIR. EDITOR : A scout, who came in last night,
reports Poster ingommand at Newborn (Palmer re
lieved), and 2,000 f the 18th Army Corps arrived
there last week, making In all, up to this time,
about 5,000 troops at the post. It seems to be
conceded on all sides that the Yankees have landed
five locomotives and two transports of railroad iron
at Morehead City within the last few days. 'How
ever, we do not eontemplate an early '
movement on
the part of enemy Mims direction,"
GBNIIRAD BORRBL.—The friends of General Sor
rel will be pleased to learn that he is recovering
from the effects of his wounds.
W 3 understand that a vote was taken yesterday
in PlekeWs division on ,the question of employing
negroes in the army, and resulted in a very large
Majority voting in favor of the measure.
ERON NORTE AL/J3AX14..--ISTeHrs from North
Alabama states that General Roddy has simoess
fully encountered the enemy several times in that
section, and has succeeded in driving them 'noble
their fortifications around Decatur.
TRH SUGOBSTION 027 A LADY Os VIROINIA,—A
patriotic Virginia lady writes as follows to the
Lynohbnrg Virginian:
if It ie proposed that the ladies of Virginia, either
associated or independently, contribute articles of
jewelry and plate, to raise a fund for distribution
among such soldiers of Virginia as have remained
at thar posts in the ranks, faithfully performing
their duty. Each article labeled with the name of
the donor ; the sale and distribution supervised by
the Honorable Secretary of War ; the gilt a testi
mony of gratitude and admiration from Virginia
mothers and daughters."
In a note accompanying the above, our corres
pondent suggests the formation of a society for car
rying out the plan. -
THE REBEL CONGRESS.
The following are the. most important matters
transacted during Monday's session
The 'unwiring bill was considered and passed!•
h bill to abolish the office of all officers engaged in dis

THB CAPTURE OP OHABLBBTON.
[From Richmond Whig, Feb. 2L
The accounts which reach us from the South are
not sufficiently voluminous or exploit to Inform us,
with even approximate accuracy, of the military
situation in south Carolina. Ali that we know is
that General Sherman is prosecuting another move-
meet, characterized by much more than his ordinary
vigor, and far more than Mammal celerity. We can
only infer, in a general way, his theta objects, with
out pretending to decide positively on the course he
intends to pursue in order to attain them. We in
fer, then, that he le really attempting to consum
mate that comprehensive plan for severing General
Lee'e communications with the South ; and, finally,
by combining his forces with Grant's, to either force
the evacuation of Richmond, or to capture it by the
power of overwhelming numbers. A plan of this
kind has been repeatedly sketched by the Northern
newspapers, ana has been even prefigured, with
much minuteness as to details, by the N. Y. rimes,
a journal which appears to be well Instructed in
military matters. The Philadelphia Inquirer main
tains that, while this is Sherman's ultimate design,
his proximate objeot hi to sweep along the great inte
rior lines of railroad, and, by destroying them,
deprive the Confederate forces of that feasibility of
oomnirmloatlon and combination which. they have
hitherto enjoyed. The developments of the past
few days have justified this theory; although
they do not yet enable us to say whether Sher
man intends to prosecute his march 'through the
interior, upon the great railway lines, or to con
tent himselfi with what he has already accom
plished, and fall back upon the coast, Say at Charles
ton or Wilmington. It is only by adopting the for
mer course that permanent results can be antici
pated; while, at the same time, that course is so
pregnant with "peril that it exposes the Federal
army to absolute destruction in case of failure. The
occupation of Columbia, or of any Inland position
on his route, must of necessity be Incidental and
transient. From that place he must move speedily
in some direction. Should' he adopt the safer
policy and fall back upon Charleston, supposing
that his march on that city be notintercepted, he will
leave South Carolina in the same condition in which
be left Georgia after his march through that State,
and the capture of Savannah. The Geora la expo
dition, by itself, amounted to nothing more than the
mere acquisition of Savannah as a base for renewed
operations. The country marched over was aban
doned the next day, and as soon as the Yankee
army had passed the work of repairing the railroads
was commenced. By the time Sherman was -pre
pared for another move the railway communication
in Georgia was restored • and the State which had
been declared conquered ' by the simple transit of a
Yankee army through its territory Is now free from
enemies, except at one point on its coast and another
at its extreme northwestern angle. This important
fact shows the nature of Yankee occupancy in the
country, and the kind of conquest they achieve at a
distance from the guns of their navy.
The same thing would happen in South Carolina
should Shetman retire upon Charleston or any
other seacoast- town. The interior would at once
be relieved. In a few weeks-the railroads would
be repaired, and his movements, reduced to the
dimensions of a gigantic raid, would prove entirely
barren of permanent military results. We should
Dave lost Charleston, and perhaps Wilmington, but
our armies would be concentrated on toe great
interior lines, where they would have every advan
tage lot defence_ against any future movements..
To accomplish anything decisive, therefore, Sher
man must continue his march through tire country, -
taklog en route the great railway centres, Char
lotte, Greensboro, and Danville. We should not
be surprised to hear that from Columbia he has
marched on Charlotte, nor that, in a few days, he
a ill have possessed himself of that place. Bat then
dangers begin to thicken around him. The very
evacuations which his movements may force will
add to the effective strength of our army in the field.
Every day's march will: weaken his forties and
strengthen ours, and he will finally reach a point
where he will be compelled- to give battle under
circumstances altogether adverse to him and favor
able to uB. His march resembles, lumany respects,,
that of Burgoyne through the State of New York,
and it will have, we have strong reason to hope, a'
similar termination. Gen. Beauregard, who com
mands our forces in that department, is Sherman's
master in all the arts of strategy and tactics. He
will give battle when he think& it advisable to fight,
or decline It when he thinks that to avoid it is the
proper course. And, we may depend on it, that.
what he think p the proper course, will be the beat
that could Ws adopted. We do not pretend to
know where or when he purposes to meet Sherman,
but we are firmly convinced that the Yankee com
mander. If be prosecutes his march towards Rich
mond, with the audaolous purposes now indtoated
by his movements,
will go to his doom. We believe
that his army will be met and checked, and in such
a position a check will be a defeat, and a defeat will
be destruction. We can state, too, with certainty,
that the best military authorities concur in this view
of the situation.
We make the following Interesting extracts from
our Ilichmond files of tho Roth
"SPIRIT OP THII ARMY."
Under the above caption the Examiner publishes
the annexed series of resolutions :
At a meeting of the officers and men of the Ist
Virginia Infantry Terry's brig de, Ploirett's divi
sion, held at their ' camp near Kowlertt's house, on
the 15th of February, 1865, for the purpose of ex
pressing theft:l/teak/ascots and determination to cte•
vote all of their energy to the prosecution of the
war, the following resolutions were adopted :
Resolved, That to the humiliating propositions for
peace made by President Lincoln to our COMpal/-
tons, we enter our indignant protes t ; that, while we
would be rejoiced to atop the effusion of blood, and
the desolation of our country, we will assent to no
terms short of independence and separate nation
ality.
Resolved, That inasmuch as we have tendered the
olive branch to our toes, which they have trampled
In the dust, no alternative Is left us but to defend
our homes, cur property, and lives, as long as the
foot of a vandal pollutes the soil of the South.
Resolved, That while recognising our dependence
on AlMlglity God, who defends the cause of the
just, we again dedicate ourselves to the canoe.
Again we unfurl a banner which we have borne
from Bull Run to Bermuda hundred, and again
we swear to "die freemen rather than live slaves."
Resolved, That we hail with pleasure the appoint-
Event of R. E Lee General-in.ohlef; that we have an
abiding confidence in his judgment, patriotism, and
valor; and that wherever he orders we will go with
jbyfut acclamation.
Reiolved, That the people at home be exhorted to
sustain the army, to drive back the skulker, to aid
feeding and clothing the soldiers, to Send the best
Men into the eonnolls of the nation, that energy and
ability may be infused into the different depart
ments, State and Confederate. •
Resolved, That though disaster and gloom new
hover over us, we, believe all things van be se or

who, now claim us as slaves will Own us as,viotors.

term or other, to be adopted. So far from exciting
the repugnance on the part of the army at first ap
prehended:- It has been called for by the reseiVes of
many regiments and brigades, and is known to be
favored by nearly , all the principal oftioers. - - We

twit he urges—with a warmth he has not, perhaps,
exhibited in regard to any other matter of legis
latlon—the passage of a law subjecting the negro
element to military use. Bis opinion, at all times
entitled to great weight, becomes imperative as, to
suph a matter, when- we reflect that the whole re
sponsibility o f our defence has been devolved upon
him. lithe cause should be lost, when any means
of resistance that he had called for remained un
grdnted, the responsibility for its lose would rest
upon those who withheld the aid he called for, not
upon him. We prefer to have no share In such re

The Whig then gives eoplotui extracts from a paper

61 It Is by no means certain that the negro is so de

are to credit the statements of travellers in Africa,
the native negro is the most „sanguinary toarrior in Me

either party la-almost annihilated; and oar very
slaves are, lixgreat part, the descendants of prison

In his servile condition. He naturally shrinks, with
out regard to appearances. He,-however, makes a
fearless sailor and fireman. The English have long
used him as a soldier, and he has done good service.
But the experiences of this war are abundantly sat-
Solent to show his adaptability as a soldier. The
enemy has taught us a lesson to which we ought not
Ito shut our eyes. He has caused him to fight as
well, If not better, than have his white troops of the

Island and elsewhere declare' that they are far the

WAR BETWEEN EUROPE AND THE NORTH.
The Etcaminer, in a long article endeavoring to
bolster up the rebel hopes by indicating signs of
an approaching war by England and France against
the United States, says:
. Several circumstances indicate that the time is
near at hand wk. eh kings and prophets have
• waited for in Europe—the time, inamely, when it
becomes less prudent to wait than to strike ; when
the work of destruction, which the patient was
doing for himself, is nearly brought to the point
where lily decease may be judiciously helped.
Statesnien and financiers of England and of
France have bad their fingers on the pulse of the
Yankee nation all this while • they know exactly
the, moment when its financ ial troubles may be
suddenly turned into financial wreak, universaland
irretrievable. HeSides, the profit which they could
hope to derive from the present war has been aIL.
',ready gained. England has already secured the
*carryliagliaffe of the world; France and England
both have been able to strengthen their monarchi
cal systems by merely pointing across the Atlantic,
and saying to their liberals, Behold the logical end
of Your liberalism ! Moreover, (and here is .a truly
pressing oenslderation), the stock of cotton In. Eu
rope is now at last all woven up ; and the efforts to
raise. good ootton to other, countries, having now
had a 'fair trial, are failures all. The promises of
the Washington Government to prooure ootton,
whether by stealing or by planting; have, proved
delusive for any practical purpose ; and, unless half
Europe is to go naked, these Southern ports must
soon be opened.
After all, these signs of approaching war between
Yankeeland and Europe may fail, as all signs have
failed before. Nevertheless it Is well to take note
of them, though it were very weak and unwise to
place any dependence upon them. Of course such a
war would, moan our - establishment at once as a
confederacy of independent States, and would give
us also the certainty, if the Heavens be kind to us,
of wreaking vengeance upon oat hateful enemy.
Practically, however, for the present, the moral to
be drawn mut all the considerations offered above
is twofold—first, that we should hold out resolutely
and hopefully In our defensive war, and second, that
we should take very stringent measures at ones to

The following remarkable artlele appears In the
Richmond Sentinel of the 15th instant. It is one of
those fierce, vindictive harangues in Which the retel
Journals Indulge for the purpose of "firing the
Southern heart :
Wo to the conquered ! for submission will not
bring about peace, nor even inaugurate a trope, A
few may submit and bow their nooks to the yoke
which the Yankees will Impose. Thelatter already
assume that a State Is subjugated when a tenth of
its people agree to reconstruction. Whenever and
wherever this may b.appon confiscations will begin.
Loyal landholders will be driven from their farms,
and Yankee Intruders will occupy they. No mat
ter whose farm Is coveted, It will be easy to suborn
Yankee witnesses, and still easier to bay up disloyal
Southrons, for they are baser and more venal than
Yankees, to prove that the owner of the desired pro
perty is untrue to the North. Soon,veryBool3, all the
lands of the submitting States would pass Into. tho
bands of Northern landlords. Spies and InfOriners
In swarms would infest the community, eavesdrop
ping, searching houses, and dogging the heels of
every Sonthron. In the various villager and cross
roads Yankee troops, black and white, would be

federates. The cravemsolrlted submisslonhata would

or, as a land agency office. The roo ms above
were reached by a orazy-lookingotairway on the
outside, up which none ever went without dread of
their falling. Dingy signs Informed the curious
that within was a "law shop," kept-by Hugh Ew
ing, Thomas Ewing, Jr., W. T.-Snerman, and Dan
iel McCook. These constituted the firm known
here in the early part of 1868 , as Ewing, Sherman, &
McCook. All were comparatively young men. All
were ambitions ; the One who has gained the greatest
fame perhaps , the least so of the sesociatedda.wyers.
The Ewiags had the advantage of high culture, con
siderable natural abilities, cold, impassive tempera
ments, and a powerful family influence to aid their
aspirations. Hugh Ewing was -but little known
hereabouts, though acknowledged to be a brilliant
and 'versatile genius by his intimates. " Toting
Tom," as the other scion is familiarly called, has
always been a prominent and influential man.
The third member of - the-•firmflue - today one of
the proudest pages In the b cry of-our land. His
name and fame take rank with thogreatest of earth.
All oonapire to do him honor. Aliens bow to. his
genius, and enemies show the extent of their fears
of Its' power by the virulence of their hate and its
manifestations. W. T. Sherman never mingled in
our publio affairs. He lived among .us for several
months, having some landed interests here. Au
outlying part of our city plat is marked on the maps
as " Sherman's Addition." Prior to entering upon
the practice of law In this city, he lived for some
time in the vicinity of Topeka, upon a farm of led
acres, which we believe he still owns. His neigh
bors tell of. his abrupt manner, reserved, yet forci
ble, speech and character. Previous to residing in
Kamm, Sherman had lived In California, where, as
a miner, banker, and lawyer, he• made and lost a
large fortune. Agraduate of West. Point, he had
previously held a captain's commission in. the To.
pographical Engineer Corps, and, in pursuance of
duty, had made several important surveys and ex
plorations. the reports of which had been duly pub
lished by Government. They relate principally to
routes for the Pacific Railroad.
The fourth member of the ftrin,.Daniel MnCook,
was known and appreciated here by the fraternity
as one of the best of ' , good fellows.) , He was young,
active, ardent, an intense partisan and ambitious
Wight, who held the tolerable good opinion of his
own oapaelty common to the "pin-feather" state of
the genus home. "Dan" practiced law before the
lower courts, doing the justice and probate ; and al
ways having plenty of work lathe United States
District Court. which was often the scene of amus
ing sparring between him and the judge—the able,
but Indecent Petit—whose judgments Dan was in
the habit of freely criticising.
All of the firm were Buckeyes—the E.WIDO being
sons of the able and venerable Hon. Thos. Ewing, of
that State. Sherman is connected. .with them by
marriage, beluga brother to Mrs. Thomas , Ewing,
Jr., we believe. He is a brother of Senator Sher
man. McCook belonged to the since famous , ' light
ing ), family 01 that name. His father was the well
known Major McCook, killed In,
the Okto-MOrl'an
raid. One brother was killed atthe fleet Ball Run
battle. Another was the Brigadier General Mc.
Cook, murdered by guerillas in Southern Kentucky.
Another, brother or , uncle, we know.not which, is
the famous Major Genera i llicCook.Of the Armies of
the Cumberland and Tennessee.
In politics the firm was unequally proportioned--;
Thomas Ewing, Jr., being a conservative Republi
can, while his brother _Hugh, Sherman, and Mo.
Cookware ail Democrats, the latter being an active
local politician, and at one time elected Probate
Judge of this county. The city bolng.then largely -
Democratic and somewhat pro.slavery, the firm
possessed considerable influence.
A good story is told of Sherman's experience as
counsel, and of his dissolution of partnership to take
the position held by him when the war broke ont--
that of president of the hlllitary. Oollege of
Louisiana. --
While in the practice of the. law here, Sherman
was Consulting partner, having an almost Insur
mountable objection to pleading in cone". He Is
accorded the possession, as a lawyer, of thorough
knowledge of legal principles a clear,logloal per
ception of the points and eq uity Involved In any
case. He could present his views in the most direct
manner, stripped of all verbiage, yet perfectly ac
curate in form. He was perfectly au. fare in the
authorities.
But to return to our story. Shortly after the re
ception of the offer from the Governor of Louisiana,
in relation to the college, Sherman was compelled
to appear before the Probate Judge--Gardner, we
believe. The other partners were busy, and Sher.
man, with his authorities and his ease all mapped
out, proceeded to court. He returnedha a rake two
hours after. Something bad gone.wrong. He had
bean pettifogged oat of the case by a sharp, petty
attorney opposed to him, in a way which was dis
gusting to his Intellect and his convictions. His
amour propre was hurts and he swore that he would:
have nothing more to.do with the law in this State.
That afternoon the business was closed, partnership
dissolved, and in'a very short time Sherman was on
his way to a more congenial clime and occupation.
The war found him ina.nuisana, and despite of his
strong pro-slavery Opinions, found him an intense
and devoted patriot.
We met him here, and, though but slightly ac
quainted, have remembered ever since, the impres
sion he left on °us mind. lid sphered himself to our
perception as the most remarkable intellectual
embodiment of .ffotca it had been our fortune to en
counter. Once einoe, we met him, in our lines be
fore Corinth, where he had command of the
right wing of dialleck , s magnificent army. The
same impression was given then, combined with
the idea of nervous vitality, angularity of cha
racter, and intense devotion to what he had
in band. Sherman is truly an idealist, even
unto fanaticism, though, in all probability,
If told so he would• abruptly retort back an
unbelieving sarcasm. He outlines himself to
our memory as a man. of middle stature, ner
vous, muscular frames with a long, keen head,
sharply defined from the forenead and back of the
ears. His eyes have a bluish-gray cast, and an in
troverted look, but fall of smouldering fire. His
mouth is sharp and well oat; the lower part of the
face Ipowarfu4 though not heavy. 'His complexion
lair, hair and beard of a sandy-red, straight, short,
and strong. Hiatemperament is nervottasetignine,
and he Is full of crotchets and prejudices whioh,
however, never stand in the way of practical re
malts. The idea, or rather object, which rules him
for the time, overrides everything else. Round the
mouth we remember a gleam of saturnine humor,
and in the eyes a look of )kindliness which would at
tract to him the caresses of children.
Such are the impressions left on our mind by the
only military educated member of this legal quar
tette—all of whom have held commissions as gene
rale in our army.
Hugh Ewing went early into the war as colonel of
an Ohio regiment, to which State he had returned
before the rebellion. He was soon promoted to a .
brlgadiershlp. He bas served honorably through
most of the campaigns It the central South, and
Is now, we believe, in Kentucky,. He has been
wounded more than once.
Dan McCook's, name has [passod into history at.
one of the most gallant young lives offered as a,
sacrifice to secure American natSpaallty. He was,
we think, the second captain mustered in from tide '
State, in the 'Veteran let Kansas, as early as the be
ginningof 431. He wig all through its fa-
Moue Missouri campaign, under Lyon, his Mende
hero remember the jubilant expression to, which his
ambition gave vent when he first left loathe Held:
"Here's for a colonel's, epaulets or a soldler'a
grave." Be know not how prophedawas time utter

e. He won the first and more, and the latter is
now his lasting inheritance of fame. After the re-*

The 7- 3Ce ate the best and surest property in the
world. They are literally a first mortgage on all the
land, public and* private, in the United States. This
first mortgage has got to be. and inevitably will be,
paid. Nothing can come between it and the holders.
Its other advantages are manifest. The value of the.
privilege of converting the 7.80 s at maturity tato gold
bearing 6per cents, added to the interest, will give in
the end over 10 per cent. interest for the investment.
The 7-308 cannot be taxed by Statee. counties or cities.

bank or broker's in the country. The bonds are due on
the 16th of August, 1617. At that time, if 'the holder
