ALTOONA, PA.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1865.
The War.
.The part week has been crowded with
•vests of the most encouraging character,
and we. are led to hope that the days of
the rebellion are few.
On Tuesday week the nest of secession,
Charleston, was evacuated, and on Thurs
day the Union troops took possession of
it. The .evacuation of the city by the
rebels was marked with a specimen of
barbarity and flendishness, the recital of
which must shock tbs sensibilities of ail
civilized people, and cause the Sepoys to
stand aghast. We refer to the explosion
of several magazines, which caused a
great destruction of property and life.—
The inhuman soldiery applied tbe match
without giving the inhabitants warning
of the intended destruction, and in all
probability hundreds of them were buried
beneath the ruins. When our soldiers
.entered they found mutilated bodies in all
directions around the scenes of the ex
plosions. '
11l evacuating the place, the rebels left
behind them some two 1 hundred heavy
gmw aud a large quantity of ammunition.
The evacuation of the place was neqessi
tated by Gen.;Sberman’s movement upon
Columbia, which would cot them off from
communication with Richmond. On
Thufsday of last week Gen. Sherman
Occupied Columbia and his advance is now
reported some 40 miles North of that
point. He appears to have spread out
hi# forces and swept over the whole State
of South Carolina, giving the people of
that traitor breeding locality an idea of
the horrors of the war they inaugurated
but,which they have heretofore escaped.
The onward manjji of Gen. Sherman
hU; necessitated the evacuation of Wil
mington, which the telegraph announces
is now in the possession of the Union
forces. Prom Charleston and Wilming
ton, the rebels have undoubtedly gone to
Richmond
*l*9 wpwtod that a Union force
** *^ upon Lynchburg, by way of
Knoxville. Should Gen. Lee attempt to
Smbmond, it is snppoeed thjit he
make opt by way of Lynchburg, and
tins force may have something to do in
the way of destroying railroads.
Gen.Thomaa is reported beading for
Mobile, which place, considering the pre
icnt cpt up condition of the Confederate
States, cannot be reinforced, and most
certainly fall. The occupation of Charles
ton! Wilmington and Mobile will liberate
.MS least 25,000 men from the navy, who
can he organized into corps for offensive
ppertiona on land.
What Gen. intentions are, are
matters of conjecture." He cannot much
longer endure the pressure of Grant and
Sherman. Should he make a fight, it will
bs a desperate one, tire most desperate and
destructive of the war. Should all his
communications be .cut off and his supplies
give hut, he may surrender. He will
hardly attempt a r fight and wholesale des
truction of his army ‘without a good pros
pect of success, and even should he suc
ceed in crushing Sherman, by throwing all
his force upon him, it would be of short
duration. Gen. Grant is watching Lee
cloasly, and the first move he makes' to
attadc Sherman will be the signal for the
Army of the Potomac to close in upon
fail rear.

Tacstm Assoncrz Swnnurr.—Nearly all ac
tmcreditsare now baaed on Government securi
ties, and hanks .bold them a» the very best and
.ftlPfyqst investment they can make. If it were
possibletO contemplate the financial fail are of tie
Government, no bank would be any safer. If
moneyhi loaned on incUvidaal notes or bond and ,
' montage, it wUI be payable in the same cnrrency
as tbe(JoT»rnment pays with, and no better. The
QoreiniMnt never has fkllod to meet its engage
ments, and the national debt is ,a first mortgage
upon the whole property of the conntiy. While
Mhefstboks fluctuate from ten to fifty, or even a
fwktßjr per cent., Government stocks are always
comparatively firm- Their value is fixed and re
-BaUe, securities ; for while a
thousand speculative bobbles rise and burst, as a
rale tbey ara never below par, and are often above.
Its LnasStt. IrrrßEatr. —The general rate of
intarest iasix per cent, payable annually. Thi* is
seven and three*tenths, payable lemi-annuaily.
If yoo lend on mortgage, there most be a search-
Jlttas, Jawyers' fees, stamp dufies.and delays,
nd finally hare returned to yon "only the
■Uftl filpdof money yon wooid receive from the
Government, aad km of it. If yon invert in this
loan, you have no trouble. Any bank or banker
will obtain it for yon without, charge. To each
note or bond am affixed" five “coupons" or mterat
tidteU, doe at the equation of each successive
half-year. The holder of a note haw amply to cat off
one of tbeae coopoos, present it the neatest bank or*
Government Agency, and reeeivv bis interest; the
note itself need hot be presented at all. Or a cou
pon thus payable will everywhere be equivalent,
when doe, to money'. If you wish to borrow nine
ty cents on the dollar upon the nates, yon bare the
highest security in the market to do it with. If
you wish to sell, it will bring within a fraction of
cost and interest at any moment. It will be very
bandv to have in the home.
It is cosveetible into a six per cent, gold
bearing bond. At the expiration of three years a
holder of tbe notes of the 7-30 Loan has the option
of accepting payment, in full or of funding his notes
in a six per cent, gold interest bond, the principle
payable in not leas than five, nor more than twen
ty jaaa from its dale, as the Government may
elect. These bonds are bold at such a premium
as to make this privilege now worth two or three
per cent, per anom, and adds so much to the inter
est. Notes of the same class, issued three years
ago, are now selling at a rate that folly proves tbe
correctness of this statement.
Ira Exsao-nos raon State
Taxation. —Bat aside from all the advantages we
have enumerated, a special Act of Congress ex
empt!i all btmdt and Treasury nota/rom local tax
ation. On tb« average this exemption is worth
abobt two per cent, per annum, according to tbe
ratehf taxation in various parts of the country.
It u a Nattosai- Savisos Bake. —While this
loan presents great advantages to large capitalists,
it offers special inducements to those who wish to
make a safe and profitable investment of small sa
vings. It is in every way the heist Savings' Bank.;
for eveiy institution of this kind most somehow in
vest its deposits profitably in order to pay interest
and expenses. They will invest largely in this
loan, as the best investment. Bot from the gross
interest which they receive, they most deduct
largely for, the expenses of the Bank. Their usual
rate of interest allowed to depositors is 6 per cent,
upon sums over $5OO. The person who invests
directly with Government will receive almost 5Q
per cent. more. Thus the man who deposits
$lOOO in a private Savings’ Back receives 50 dol
lars a year interest; if hedeposits the same sum
in this National Savings' Bank he receives 73 dol
lars. For those win wish to find a safe, conveni
ent and profitable means of investing the surplus
earnings which they have reserved for their old
age or for the benefit of their children, there is
nothing which presents so many advantages as
. this National Loan. \
The Highest Motive.—The war is evidently
drawing to a close, bat while it lasts the Treasury
must have money to meet its cost, and every mo
tive that patriotism can inspire should induce the
people to supply its wants witbont delay. The
Government can boy cheaper for cash in hand than
on credit. Let us see that its wants are piomptly
and liberally satisfied.

Of the net profits of the year there has been
applied $1,523,637 to the payment of two semi
annual dividends of five per cent; $1,113,024 03
to dividends tp Harrisburg and Lancaster Rail road
Company, ana |5323,609 90 to interest upon! its
debt, taxes upon dividends, &c.
The expenditures required upon the Philadel
phia and Erie line to place it in a condition to ac
commodate e business sufficient to meet the ex
pectations of the Company are still very large.—
The advance for tills work during the year, exclu
sive of rolling stock and shop machinery, have
been $2,275,574 35, which is in excess of the
securities purchased by this Company, under its
contract with the Phiadelpbia and Erie Railroad
Company, $889,598 '69, exclusive of material
account ($468,764 09,) a portion ot which will
be applied to working the road.
Of the securities of the Steubenville and Indi
ana Railroad, there remains in the hands of the
Treasurer, for sale, $1,305,000.
The stock rind bonds of the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chticagu Railroad have all been sold,
except 200 shares of stock, and $200,000 of its
third mortgage bonds, at a considerable advance
upon their cost.
The interest of the company in tbe Bedford
Railroad and in the Neve Castle (Lawrence coun
ty) Railroad, received for aid extended towards
the completion of these works, has also beet^ dis
posed of upon satisfactory terms.
The construction of the connecting Railway,
chartered to join the Pennsylvania Railway in
'Vest Philadelphia with the Philadelphia and
Trenton road at Frankfort—a distance of seven
miles—has been commenced, and will be pushed
to completion as rapidly as circumstances .will per
mit. Tbe right of way—one of the chief ele
ments of its cost—has been mostly secured. This
connection will bring the line from New York to
Harrisburg and the West via Philadelphia, within
twelve miles of the same distance as via Alien
town, and will doubtless return to this end of this
road much of tbe travel which the delays and ob
structions in passing through this city, have driven
to other channels.
The report speaks of the unprecedented diffi
culties which have attended the management of
the road for the last two years. A continually
increasing business had to be met by a decreasing
supply of experienced men to work them, and for
a time it was impossible to procure for the trains
even raw recruits in sufficient numbers. There
lias also been encountered accidents, arising from
the inferior workmanship and materials that the
great demand for locomotives and cars jtas intro
duced, which there is no practical means of obvi
ating, when all that could be produced has been
insufficient to meet the demands of the Govern
ment and railway companies.
Tbe report concludes with a reference to the
reports of the Gcnciai Superintendent, Chief En
gineer,' &c,, and says:
“These officers and their assistants, notwith
standing the unusual difficulties attending the
operations of their respective departments duriitg
the year, have fulfilled the duties confided to them
in a manner entirely satisfactory to the Board of
Directors.”
■From the report of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company for 1864, to the Auditor General, we
glean the following statistics of the road : Capital
stock authorized by law, $20,000,000. Total
capital stock paid in’ $18,029,260. Total amount
