Cutler and Frank Whitman are engaged in canvassing the town and neighborhood for thibscribers to the above work, the first volume of which they have permitted us to examine. The work le by the author of the "Life of Na poleon," "History of the French Revolu tion," &c., and no other guarantee is needed for its style and merit. It will be in two volumes, the present one carrying the nar rative of events in the groat rebellion up to the close of the campaign of the late Gen. Mitchell. All the great contests of the war previous to that time are graphically de scribed. 'fhe introductory matter placing the blame of the rupture between North and South where it belongs. and narrating the preliminaries of the earlier campaigns in the war, is clear and conclusive. The history is written in Mr. Abbott's popular style, and is readable throughout, the dry est details being rendered attractive under his pen. The work is illustrated by por traits, battle-scenes and maps. The succeeding volume will follow quick ly, and will, we hone, announce the entire nul t jogalien of the rebels. The History is published by Gurdon Bill, Sprineield, Mass., and is got up in very good style. We can commend the ngents n:deserving success in their enterprise. and the book as oe olikely to give entire sutisfactione reader. CHANCES oe rile 13.151 N.--No greater change in the old land-marks of 'Columbia has taken place in the last twenty years thhn that now in progress at the Canal Basin. The Pennsylvania.. Railroad Com pany, laboring under-great disadvantages cf hteat ion of the road at the upper end of Front street, and needing siding room, no reliased the e wird - Basin property"— warehouses, wharve.i, slips, &J., and after wards disposed of the buildings to Mr. J. to be imiuediately demolished • itod removed. The work of destucction has commeneed, mud a few weeks will probably see the last of the oil warehouses—the fer nier scone of small varied and extensive trade. The headquarters of the Atkinees, Leeches, Bingham-I—all the older shippers -by canal and railroad, were the channels through which passed an immense tonnage aim ast every b ix, bale, cask, or bag, trans ported between Poilalelphia and Pittsburg, and intermediate points, was hero trans shipped, during the Old State proprietorship of railroad and canal, creating a heavy business and steady labor during theseason of canal navigation.' After the construction of the Pennsylvania Ittilroad this trade gradually diminished, and shipper after shipper retired from the business, until the sale of the State improvements n? the Peen- sylvania Railroad Company, when B, F. Appold was left the sole representative of what was formerly the lending and most energetic circle of business men in Colum bia. When the last warehouse shall have disappeared, he too will leave the scene of his lab trs, the last of the race of "Ras n men." It should be a source Of no small •pride to Mr. Appel(' that in the gradual wreck of the transportation business, he kept up the old basin trade, and has finally been driven from the field by the demolition of his temple Thnd not the collapse of busi news. lie will carry on hie business in an other quarter. The Railroad Company will fill in the the slips (a good place of deposit for the surplus clay of Commerce Street, should the authorities eao 6t to straighten that throughfure) and then straizhten their track. avoiding the heavy curve above Black's,. There will then lie ample siding room, and the tracks through town can be kept clear. The inclined plane from the river to the main track will be removed, and a more gentle ascent made ..above the bridge. The we scales will be removed to some convenient point near the sidings, and all the business of the company will be brought closer together, We hope, too, that while the Company is ;Approving, it will be thought well to give us a Depot.— We noed iomithieg creditable..to the 'bow :l A pany'at thi p o i nt , w t is a " coiinecti mg one with other roads. The Best Way to pnt Money out at .Interest.' „ The following information we insert in. our columns for,the tio.K . readers: the Philadelplua .T4ger :One of the most surprising things in the recent eonversicin of greenback :notes_ into . _ the popular Five - Twenty sit . per Cent. Dov iiramencliaan at par; is the Universality of the call: We happened in, - Yesterddy, -the office of Jap Gooks; who lithe agent for the sale of these loans, and the conversion of the greenbacks, and found his table liter ally covered with orders and ace napanying drafts for almost all amounts,. from five th(iusitrid to a htindred thousand dollars each; and frowi alryiartiof the - Union.' The little States of Delaware and New Jersey -are free takers„ne, are also Pennsylvania, New York and the New England States.— But the West is most especially an active taker, as well through her banks as by in dividuals. The amount of orders lying be fore us, al received during the day, amount ed to over fifteen hundred thousand dollars. With this spontaneous pruner of money,. Secretary Chase must feel himself entirely at ease, and will take care to put himself beyood those money sharpers, whose chief study is how to profit themselves most from the troubles of the country and the necessi ties of the treasury. There are millions of dollars lying idle all over the country, and while the uncertainty existed as to what Congress would do, and the bullion brokers were successful in running up gold to the discredit of the Government issues, this cap ital was clutched close. But as the Finney and measures of the Secretary of the Trea sury are gradually developed, confidence in the Government and in the future is strength ened, and holders are now anxious to make their long unemployed means productive -- hence the ready and liberal investment in the Five-Twenty loans at par. Almost every town and village throughout the country has individual holders of money, to. larger amounts probably than ever before at one . time, for which satisfactory takers cannot be found. Many of these are now investors in I these loans, and the number of such is like. ly to increase, until the demand shall put all the Gsv'erarnent loans on a par with, at least, the loans of the various incorporated c =panics. The country banks are also free takers for themselves and their custom ers. On the Ist of July this Five-Twenty year loan will, ander the law, be withdrawn.

I expect to have shortly a few thousand dollars to spare, axd as I have made up my mind that the Government loans are safe and good, and that it is my duty and interest, at this time, to put my money into them in proCerence over any other loans or stocks, I write to get infor mation of you as follows: let.

Will Secretary Chase get enough from Custom [louse duties and Internal Rev enue, Income Taxes, &c.. &0., to make it eertninthat he can pay the interest punc- tually? I have no doubt that a good many of my neighbors would like to take these Bonds. and if you will answer my questions I will show the litter to them. Very Respectfully. Office of J tv Coors, Subscription Agent, at O.Tite ufJAV C KIKE C C. 1., Bankers, 114 S. Third mt. PIIII.E1.1•11IJ., March 23, 1863. Dear Sir: Your lettor of the 20t1i inst. is received, snd I will cheerfully giro you the informa tion desired by answering your questions in due order. Ist. These Bonds are called "Five fwenties" t,ecause, while they are taunt year Bonds, they may be redeemed by the Government in GOLD at any time after fire years. Many people suppose that the in terest is only 5.20 per cent. Thiele a mis take; they pay six per cent. interest. 2nd. Legal Tender notes or checks upon Philadelphia or New York that will bring Legal Tenders, are what the Secretary al lows me to =calve. No doubt your nearest bank will give you a chock or Legal Tenders for your country funds. 3d. The Bonds are.sold at PAR, the in terest to commence the day you pay the money. 4th. I have made arrangements with your nearest bank or banker, who will gen erally have the Bonds on band. If not, you can send the money to me by Express, and I will send back the Bonds free cf cost. sth. The Bonds pay Si; per cent. inter est le GoLn, three pfer cent. every six months, on the first day of May and November at the Mint in Philadelphia, of at any sub- Treasury in New York or elsewhere. If you bare Coupon Bonds. all you have to do is . to cut the proper Coupon of each six morbe,,and collect it yourself or give it to Bank for e ! liefdon. If you have registered Bonds, you can give your Bank a power of attorney to collect the interest for you. 6th. The duties on imparts of all arti cles from abroad must be paid in GOLD, and this is the way Secretary Chase gets his gold. It is now' being paid into the Tres- Sury at the rate of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars each day, which is twice as much as be needs to pay the interest in gold. 7th. Congress has provided that the Bonds shall be PAID IN GOLD when due. Bth." You Cirk bavo either Coupon Bonds payable to the hearer, or Registered Bonds payable to your order. 9th. The former are in 50's 100's, 500's and 1009's,—the latter in same amounts, also 5,000's and $lO,OOO. 10th. N)! You will not have to pry any taxes on these Bonds if- your income from them does not exceed $600; and on all above $6OO you will only have to pay one-half as much Income Tax as if your money was in vested in Mortgages or other securities. I consider the Government Bonds as first of all-:-all other Bonds are taxed one quarter per cent. to pay the interest on the Govern ment Bonds, and the Supreme Court of the United States has just decided that no state, or city, or county, can tax Government Bonds. 11th. The present bonded debt of the United States is less than Three Hundred Millions, including the seven and three tenths Treasury Notes; but the Government owes enough more in the sh - ape of Legal Tenders, Deposits in Sub-Treasuries, Certi ficate 9 of Indebtedness, &c., to increase the debt to about eight or nine hundred mill ions, if the rebellion lasts eighteen months longer. It is, however, believed now that it will not last six months longer; but even if it does, our National Debt will be small compared with that of Great Britain or France, whilst our resources are vastly greater. 12th. I have no doubt that the revenue will not only be ample to pay the ordinary expenses of the Government and all interest on the debt, but leave t.t least one hundred millions annually toward paying off the debt, and that the Government will be able to get out of debt again as it has twice be fore—in a few ylars after" the close of the war. I hope that all who hare idle money will at once purchase these Five• Twenty Year Maids. The right to demand 'them for Le gal Tenders will end on the first day of July, 1863, as per the following authorized notice: SPECIAL NOTICE On and after July Ist, 1833, the privilege of couverting the present issue of Legal Tender Notes into the National Six per cent Loan (commonly called "Five-Twenties") will cease. All who wish to invest in the Five-Twenty Loan must, therefore, npply before the Ist of July next. JAY COOKE, Subscription Agent• , • Nu. 114- S. Third et., Philadelphia.

We hare been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We here been preserved, these many years, in peace amid prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have for gotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied, and enriched, and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that ell these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtues of our own. intoxicated with unbroken success, we have beonme too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made up! It behoove.' ue. then. to humble ourselves before the offended Power. to confess our National eine, and to pray for clemency and forgivenesa. 4.
