|tltoOttA iritout*. 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. F»qt* About the 7-80*—The Advan tag** they oflter. 1 ■ , 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. Penn’s Bail Hoad Company- The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company was held on Tuesday morning at Sansom street Ball, Phila delphia. Hon.

The gross revenues of the iline for 1864 are equal to $41,226 per week on :maih line of road, and exceed, in the aggregate, those of 1863, $2,869,644 71. This increase is $1,059,368 36 upon passengers and emigrants ; $1,231 96 upon United States mails; $1 ,759,737 35 upon ordin ary freight; $82,282 30 on exprrss freight.

The increase in the coal traffic is 183,580 tons andthe whole tonnage of the road exceeds that of lastyear3lo,sso tons. The ordinary expenditures for working and maintaining the Company’s roads were $8,225,- ,659 65, which is equal; Id 55 7JO per cent, of its revenue, or 72 4-10 per cent, including all the expenditures made for work dope on its own line and the outfit of the Philadelphia and Erie Kail road. The Minings of the companies canals were $308,615 28 against $288,150 52 in 1863. the expenses were $310,655 32, showing a loss of 1,040 09 during 1864.

The line was not opened for boanea* and] the 17th of October last, the beginning of the inclem ent season of the moantainons regional traverses. : and then with an incomplete trade, insufficient! sidings and shops to meet the wants of the traits- j portal ion department; hence its operations hare • been conducted at much extra cost and have oe- | confined to the accommodation of j its local traixe. The results of the year’s business j is therefore no evidence of what may be expected i hereafter from this great work. / j The whole reyennea of the Pennsylvania Bail- > rood Company, for its several lines, are es follows: From Pennsylvania Kaflroad and bnmchea..sl 4,759.057 66 f From Pennsylvania Canals. 306.615 23 j From Philadelphia and Krie Railroad..: 1,131,147 98 I Total. 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 of_ funded debt, $9,881,810. Floating debt $771,028 91. Debt due the State, $6,900,000.
