Our visiters appeared to enjoy themselves,

hope that us soln as the weather settles in
to the promise of Spring, we shall have an
excursion from Columbia to Litii;taturning .

Sharpley's old troops, who used to "go
round the Dote" to nightly rounds of ap

one, cu.nsisting of some of the best negro
performers in the country, beside a number
of lady singers. The entertainments will

song., scenes, jokes, waggeries and jollity;

ARROTT'S lIISTuRY OF THE CIVIL WAR IN
AMERICA.—Messrs. G. 13. 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.

see the last of the oil warehouses—the fer

through which passed an immense tonnage
aim ast every b ix, bale, cask, or bag, trans

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 the Pennsylvania Ittilroad this trade
gradually diminished, and shipper after

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

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.

114 South Third it., Philadelphia
Dear Sir:
I see by.our papers that you are selling
for the Government a new loan called "Five-
Twenties." 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. Why are they c "Five-Twen
ties?" r•
2nd. D i you take gantry money, or
only Legal Tender N.te.i, or will a check on
Philadelphia, or New Y nit, answer for' dub-
scriptions?
3I: DJ you sell the B obis at par?
4th. A. 4 I cannot coake to Pailadelphia,
how an I t) get the B
sth. What intere.t do they pay, and how
and when and where is, it paid, and is it
pail in Gold or Legal Tenders?
( firth. now does Secretary Chase get
enough gold to pay this interest?
7th. Will the face of the Bonds be paid
in gold when des?
Bth. Can I have the Bonds payable to
Roarer with Coupons, or registered and pay
able to my order?
9dt. What sizes are the Bonds?
lOth. Will I have to pay the same tax
ion then as I n ,vr pty on my Ittilroad, or
t other Bonds? •
I lth. What is the present debt of the
l Government, and' what somatic is it likely
to reach if the rebellion should lust a year
or two longer?
12th. 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.

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

President's Proclamation
FOR A DAY ( FASTING, 111.13111.1.1T10N AND
GEZ£EI3
Whereas, The Senate of the United States,
devoutly recognizing the supreme authority
and just government of Almighty God in
all the affairs of men and nations, has, by a
resolution, 'requested the President to des -
ignate and sot apart a day for national
prayer and humiliation;
And, whereas, It is the duty of nations,
as well as of mon. to own their dependence
upon the over-ruling power of God, to con
fess their sins and transgressions, in hum
ble sorrow, yet with assured hope that gen
uine repentance will lead to mercy and par
don, and to recognize the sublime truth, an
nounced in the Holy Scriptures and proved
by all history, that those nations are bless
ed whose God is the Lord;
And, inasmuch as we know that, by llia
divine law, nations, like iadiaidunle , are
subjected to punishments and chastisements
in this world, may we not justly fear that
the awful calamity of civil war which now
desolates the land may be but a punishment
inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins,
to the needful end of our National reforma
tion ae•a whole people? 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.
Now, therefore, in compliance with the
request, and fully concurring in the views
of the Senate. I do, by this my proclama
tion, designate and met apart Thursday, the
30th day of April, 1803, am a day of Nation
al humiliation, fasting nod prayer. And I
do hereby request all the people to abstain
on that day from the ordinary secular pur
suits, and to unite, at their several places
of publio worship, and their respective
homes, in keeping the day holy to the Lord,
and denoted, tit the humble diacbarge of the
religious duties proper to that solemn ,occar,
•; •
stun. • • "
All this being sinnmia•siniserity inairoth;
let us, then, rest humbly in the hop., au
thorized by the Divine teachings, that the
united cry of the nation will be heard on
High, and answered with blessings, no less
than the pardon of our National sine and
the restoration of our•now divided and • suf
fering country to its former happy condition
of unity and peace.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set
