Their Absolute Security.--Nearly all
hetivg credits, aro now based on Gov
ernment securities, and banks bold
theni as the very best and strongest
investment they can make. If it were
possible to contemplate the financial
failure of the Government ; no bank
would be any safer. If money is loan
ed on individual notes or bond and
mortgage, it will be payable in tho
same currency as the Government pays
with, and no butter. The Government
never has failed to meet its engage
mentEf, and_ the national debt' is a first
mortgage 'upon the whole property of
the country. While other stocks fluc
tuate from ten to fifty, or oven a great
er per cent. Government stocks aro al
ways comparatively firm. Their value
is fixed and reliable, beyond all other
securities; for while a thousand specu
lative bubbles rise and burst, as a rule
they are never below par, and are often
above.
Its Liberal interest.—Tho general
rate of interest is six per cent, payable
annually. This is seven and three
tenths, payable semi-anuually. If you
lend on mortgage, there must be a
searching of titles, lawyers' fees, stamp
duties and delays, and you will finally
have returned, to you only the same
kind of money yOu would receive from
the Government, and less of it. If you
incest in this loan, you have no trou
ble. Any hank or banker will obtain
it for 'you without charge. To each
note or bond are affixed'five "coupons"
or interest tickets, duo at the expiration
of each successive half-year. The hold
er of a note has simply to cut off one
of these coupons, present it to the
nearest bank or Government Agency,
and receive his interest; the note it
self need not bo presented at all. Or
a coupon thus payable will everywhere
be equivalent, when duo, to money. If
you wish to borrow .ninety cents on
the dollar upon the notes, you have
the highest security in the market to
do it with. If you wish to sell, it will
bring within a fraction of cost and in
terest to any moment. It will be very
',bandy to have in the house.
It is Convertible into a six per cent.
gold-bearing bond. At the expiration
of three years a holder of the notes of
.the 7.30 Loan has tho op tion accept
ingof•
payment in full - or of funding his
-.notes in a six per cent gold-interest
'bond, the principal payable in not loss
- than five, 'nor more than twenty years
;from its dato, as the Governinent may
%led. These bonds are held at such a
premium as to make this privilege now
worth two or three per cent: per an
hum, and adds so much to the interest.
Notes of the same class, issued three
years ago, are now selling at a rate
that hilly proves the correctness of this
'statement.
Its Exemption from State or 11funicipa
Taxation.—But aside from all the ad
vantages we have enumerated, a spe
cial Act of Congress exempts all bonds
and Treasury notes front local taxation.
'On the average this exemption is worth
rabout't*o por cent. per annum, aceor
,dingrto the rate of taxation in various
parts of the country.
It is a .Arational Savings Bank.—
While this loan presents great advan
tages to large capitalists, it offers spe
cial inducements to those who wish to
make a safe and profitable investment
of small savings. It is in every way
the best Savings' Bank; for every in
stitution of this kind must somehow
invest its deposits profitably in order
to pay interest and expense. They
will invest largely in this loan, as the
best investment. But from the gross
interest which they receive, they must
deduct largely for the expenses of the
Bank. Their usual rate of interest al
lowed to depositors is 5 percent. upon
-'sums over $5OO. The person who in
vests-.directly with Government will
. _receive almost 50 per cent more. Thus
the man who deposits $lOOO in a pri
lateßavings' Bank receives 50 dollars a
. Year interest; ; if he deposits the same
sum in this National Savings' Bank be
- receives - 73' dollars. 'For those who
wish to find a safe, convenient, and
profitable means of investing the sur
plus earnings . which they have reserved
for their old ago or for the benefit of
their children, there's nothing which
presents so many advantages as this
National Loan.
- The Highest intim—The war is
evidently drawing to a close, but while
it Usts the Tre,asury must have money
to meet its cost, and every motive that
patriotism can inspire - should induce
the people to supply its wants without
delay. The Government can buy
cheaper for cash in hand than on cred
it. Let. us see that its wants are
promptly rind liberally satisfied.---New

on the 14th of April, the same United

that the naval forces at Charleston be .
directed to participate in the ceremo

Beecher be invited to deliver a public
address on the occasion.
SAFEST INVESTMENT.--Tho ex
perience of the past two weeks has
been instructive to capitalists: it has
taught them that Government Stocks
are the only stable investment. While
everything else has declined ruinously,
they have been as firm as W-rock
while faith in everything else has di
minished. faith in U. S. Securities have,
. •
grown daily. The result is, everybo
dy regards them the safest investment;
in fact the only safe investment at the
present time, and will continuo to be
so regarded. To learn further advan
tages of Government Securities we in
vite the attention of our readers to the
article and advertisement of the;

now strong enough to sweep every
thing before him. Sherman's wagons
have arrived .at Kinston "for supplies.
He will refit and be ready to, move
*again soon, with Goldsboro as his
- base. The wounded in Shernian's ar

the people of North Carolina are do

The news to•day from the front am

statement already forwarded of the
engagement of Sherman's forces on
Sunday and Monday last. Of the OC
ciarrence which preceded the battle;
and developed the vigorous demonstra
tion which the rebels made on that oc
casion, some interesting data is also at
hand. "
On leaving Fayetteville - General
Sherman relieved . his army of the vast
gathering of contrabands and refugees
which encumbered his march, and di
rected them, by way of Clinton, to
Wilmington. No decided resistance
was madoaby the rebels up to the 10th;
when their rear guard was encounter
ed.ehiefly, by Ward's and Jackson's
divisions, belonging to the 20th Corps,
and General Srocum's columns. The
(moray :were, for the principal part,
Hardee's command, A gallant charge,'
made by the division of General Ward,
drove the rebels - from-a strong line of
earthworks, and with the joint efforts
of the two divisions another line was
taken. Three gnns . and two hundred
prisoners were captured, and from five
to six hundred, principally wounded,
were lost. The rebels .suffered with
equal severity, and on the approach of
our forces to dislodge them from a
third line Of works,- left in the, night.
General Alfred Rhett, of South Caroli
na, was captured on the 15th preco.
ding the fight. lie had gone out to
sot pickets, and returning: to camp,
was escorted by a squad' of men who
demanded his rank and name. Believ
ing . they wore rebels,- like himself,
General Rhett returned an answer by
no means gracious, but still satisfac-,
tory. lie was then conducted by our
scouts through the rebel pickets and
and into our own lines: Captain Mac
beth, of the South Carolina Artillery,
and a son of Mayor Mcbeth, of Charles
ton, was mortally wounded in the fight.
Pursuant to this spirited fight the
right wing moved across the South
river and up toward Bentonville, while
the left wing made a crossing farther
up, pursued the enemy retiring by
Bentonville toward Smithfield,. and
reached Beaver Dam creek, one of the
many small tributaries of the Neuse.
On the 19th the enemy opened with
the left wing near Hannah's creek, the
battle taking place in the angle form
ed by this creek with the Neuse river,
between which streams the Benton
ville road curved inward to the rear
of our forces.
It was in moving up this road that
the 14th and 20th Corps met the ene
my posted between two streams, in
Some, and anxious, as usual, to crush
ono wing of the army before tho other
could come to its support. The right
wing reached the vicinity of the fight
on Monday, the 20th, and Gen Efazon's
division, employed to guard the trains;
marched up and filled the gap between
the two wings. Tho fierce and pre-'
cipitato charges of the rebels were gal.
lantly met add repeatedly driven hack
by divisions of the 14th and 20th Corps,
which, for the time, withstood the
shock of Johnston's entire army: The
right wing came promptly to aid on
Monday, and the rebels were driven
•out of the angle streams which they
occupied, to retire upon Smithfield.
Kilpatrick's cavalry operated with ex
cellent service, during the battle, upon
the right flank of the left wing..
Several brilliant exploits were per
formed in this action. The 46th Ohio
armed with Simneor repeating rifles,
made a spendid charge, and drove an
entire brigade of the enemy from its
earthworks, but for I:varit of immorliste
support were unable to hold them. In
coming to aid, with the 17th corps, on
Monday, General Joseph MoWer's di
vision made another gallant charge,
and captured several lines of works.-
The troops on either side were fre
quently without shoes. In default of
hats ' Many of Our soldiers wore caps
and bonnets, picked tip on the march,
and charged across the briar-fields
with bare feet.
The rebels were 50,000 strong. Our
loss will not reach beyond 2,000. Tbat
of the rebels is fully as large. Johnston
evacuated his position on Monday
night, and withdrew to Smithfield, a
movement determined and accelerated
by a movement of the 17th corps upon
his flank. General Sherman was in
Goldsboro to day, and his army, it
may be presumed, will thereabout
await equipment. _ _

FROM GENERAL GRANT.
WASIIINGTON, March 31.
It is reported, but not authentically,
that the rebels during Wednesday
night Made several attempts to break
through ourlines, in the neighborhood
Of Fort Steadman, but our forts and
artillery opened upon them a terrific
fire, which as often drove them back
in confusion, until they abandoned
the contest.

—The Fighting on Wednesday—The
Fight Reported Renewed on Thursday
—A General _Engagement.
WASHINGTON, March 31.—The
spring campaign has commenced with
significant earnestness. The grand
combination of the James and Poto
mac armies is effected, and this invin
cible and irresistible force is moving
onward to victory, safely and surely,
is the direction of the Southsido
rail
road, the only unmolested lino of rail
communication leading to Richmond.
..On Wednesday a part of the Fifth
Corps had a spirited engagement
with the enemy near Ilateher's Run,
in which the rebels were driven in
confusion from the field, with a loss
of between four and fire hundred in
killed and wounded, and about ono
hundred and fifty prisoners.
We lost about four hundred in kill
ed and wounded. Not a single prison
er was taken by the rebels from us.
Our forces. crossed Hatcher's Run
without meeting with any opposition,
'The rebels retiring before our advanao.
On Wednesday evening our col
umns were within ono mile and a half
of the Southside railroad, and were
making preparations to move upon
the enemy's works the-next morning,
which run parallel with the railroad
towards Burksville. The 2d Corps had
not been engaged up till Wednesday
evening.
Lieut. Patterson, of the 7th Il'fichi
gan was killed by- a rebel SharpShoot
or on Wednesday while on a recon
noitcring expedition.. This was the
only casualty that occurred in the 2d
Corps during the day.
Our infantry lino on Wednesday
evening extended to within two miles
of Dinwiddie Court 11ouso; which bad
probably been occupied without oppo
sition by Sheridan's cavalry, which
started out in that direction early in
the morning.
As our forces advanced the enemy
fell back to their,,works on the line of
the Southside railroad; skirmishing ns
they retreated. At the Boydton plank
road they made 'some slight show of
resistance, but were soon compelled
to continue their retrograde nievq
ment, with a loss of about fifty killed
and wounded. After this they did
not stop until they - .reached their in 7
trenehment, ono mile and a half froin
the-railroad.
General Grant, with a portion of
his staff, arrived at Hatcher's Run on
Wednesday morning; and pereonally
directed the movements orthe . troops.

Headquarters Ainty of the Potomac,
March 30, P.via WASHINGTON,
April 1.--NotwithLeanding a heavy
rain storm, which set in last" night,
and continued until late this afternoon,
the army has today advanced about
two miles, and the sth corps has
reached the Boydten plank road, near
its junction with the White Oak road.
This is the place whore the 2d corps
had a severe engagement with the
enemy last autumn, in which it suffer
ed severely.
The ground gained to-day cost us
but few men the rebels making very
slight resistance.
.At Hatcher's Run,
which is only,a short distance farther
on, the enemy have strong earthworks
entirely defended with heavy. guns
and hero they will, no doubt, make a
stand to oppose our further advance.
From this point the new line extends
oast to the Armstrong mill, the 2d
corps holding the right of this position.
in the engagement of yesterday the
number of prisoners taken was 125,
with eight commissioned officers.
They belonged to Bushrod Johnston's
division and wore a part of the force
that made the attack upon our lines
last Saturday.'
The rebels made a demotistration
at several points on the old liue, for
the purpose of evidently ascertaining
whetkor the Works were held in
force... They did not. gain anything,
. however, except, the inthrmation'that
the line was strong enough to defend
itself.
[Norp.—This explains the firing
heard at City,.Reint on Wednesday

Nothing has as yet been received

a good account: of themselves. A bat
