2 2 3r A32T TS . LOCAL AFFAIRS OUR SOLDIERS. — We are sorry to Lain tiiat Lieut. Harry Sock of Co, C., 2d Pa. Reserves, was instantane ously killed in the battle of the 19th on the W'eldon Railroad, having been shot through the head while leading the company in a charge. Our read ers will remember him as a quiet young man in the employ of John Davis. E*q ot this place. He served his country so faithfully that he was promoted tn a Lieutenantcy for good conduct, a po sition lie well deserved. His parents l't-side at Selinsgrove. Lewis Morton of the 22d Cavalry was shot through the body in a recent fght in the Shenandoah Valley. Mr. M. had heen in the service before and again enlisted last winter. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his loss. In the severe fight on the Weldon Railroad on the 19th, a correspond out. informs us Col. T. F. McCoy was taken prisoner, but made bis escape before the battle ended. Capt. E. D Zeigler of company G, was captured and is now a prisoner. Of Company If, lUTth, Lieut. G. Star, Sergt. W in. Ilaines, Corporals Wm R. Jones, and R. Shatzer, and privates Win. Mark ley, J. Maben, C. C. Smith, N. Rine, O Ransom, C. Egy, F. Everliarf, R. Radclitf, J Wilson, P. Campbell, G. Allen, F. Jones were taken prisoners. A dispatch was received yesterday stating that Capt. Crawford Selheiiner was not expected to survive his wound James Nichols is now in the city, for the purpose of replenishing his stock ot Fruits, Confectioneries, &c., and will of course add any thing new and good he may see, so lookout for good things generally at the old stand in the post office corner. IHE HENRYS. —An attempt was made last week to arrest he three Henrys ot Decatur, who it will be re membered gave themselves up after the death ot their father, and again deserted, hut failed, although the'par ty got quite near and tired three or j four shots at them. It is evident an example will have to he made of tin se I outlaws, and the sooner a file of sol | diers is sent to take them dead or alive the better—for it is certain if not taken I or driven oil some innocent persons will SHi . VL 't sutler at their hands. ITEMS. McCiintick's sorrel marc, I a very tine animal, was stolen from his ■ in this place on Sunday morn I tug last, The only trace of the thief H that could he found was that he crossed the river below McVeytown, and I thence no doubt made his way into the ■ mountains towards Black Log-a ■ course which these thieves now Teem I take - A considerable quantity rain fell on Friday night last, mix m^ 1 VV ' l!l some lmil - The wind was also ■ and knocked trees and fences I about considerably. The company [from this place is now Jail, about oO additional men having left on and pmce Monday, lestcrday a consider able number from the valley took the P llß for Harrisburg, making at least hvo companies from this county, in dependent of those who expatriated themselves by credits elsewhere. Jno I I utthersbough of Decatur also took down a number of men yesterday. M THE T>RAFT. The Valley townships I d Deny are the only districts which uve made strenuous efforts to till their uotas, and from appearances are all kely to succeed. Lewistown by an stra exertion on Monday got another ppropriation from the authorities, and now we believe full.

One Vert rich man was always dealing in money, ant he made a great deal, but was never satis lied without htjh interest. So he leu most ol ,is money to some people who in thought were very rich, at a very high rate and he often told how much he got, till OIK day the people he lent went to smash. 11, got. back about ten cents on a dollar of hi money. 1 know another old gentleman whu had some bank st-ck and he went t. the bank and got ten per cent, dividend Lhe President and everybody said it wai the nest stock in the country—paid tei per cent.

Well, Mr. Smith, yo, say raiiroad stocks are best, because the will pay h <jh dividends? Can you tei how long they will pay them? I like rail roads. I helped to build one, and Igo ii for useful things Ru ] , c || Vou whal know about them One third of the rail roads don't pay any dividend, -,nd two thirds (and some of them cracked up. too. do not pay a, much as Government sloes Now ibat brings me to r, a Guvernmem securities, and I will tell you why i. pre tei them I take it you wui adm , Mr Smith that, in the Jong run the iniestiueri' whief is best should fiave these uaiie.es: i tr ., u Should iteperfe t/y secure: secondly, rha the inc. ine should be un Jurm ml perm net— not up one ye r and down the next -o-J thirdly, tfiat it shoulu Ce niurkctubb so w hen your wet day comes, and you watn your money, you Ca n get it hack.

The notes will be transmitted to the owners free of transportation charges as soon after the receipt of the original Certificates of Deposit as they can be pre pared. As the notes drew interest from August 15, persons making deposits subsequent to that date must pay the interest accrued from date of note to date of de posit. Parties depositing twenty-fire thousand dollars and upwards lor these notes at any one time, will be al lowed a commission of oue quarter of one per cent., which will be paid by the Treasury Department upon the receipt of a bill for the amount, certified to by the officer with whom the deposit was made. No deduc tions for commissions must be made from the de posits. SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF THIS LOAN. IT IS A NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK, offering a higher rate of interest than any other, and the 6 est security. Any savings bank which pays its depositors in f. S. notes, considers that it is paying in the best circulating me dium in the country, and .t cannot pay in anything better, for its own assets are either in government securities or in notes or bonds payable in government paper. It is equally convenient as a temporary or perma nent investment. The notes can always be sold for within a fraction of their face and accumulated inter est, and are the best security with banks as collaterals for discounts. Convertible into n 6 per rent, a-20 Bond. In addition to the very lite ral interest on the notes for three years, this privilege of conversion is now worth about three per cent, per annum, for the cur rout rate for 5-20 Bonds is not less ihau nine per cent, premium, and before the war the premium on six per I cent. U. S. stocks was over twenty per cent. It will be seen that the actual profit on this loan, at the pres. ent market rate, is not less than ten per cent, per an num. Its Exemption from State or Municipal Tax ation. j But aside from all the advantages we have enumer ated, a special Act of Congress exempts aU bonds and Treasury notes from local taxation. On the average this exemption is worth about two per cent, per an num, according to the rate of taxation in various parts of the country. It is believed that no securities offer so great in ducements to lenders as those issued by the govern ment. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of private parties, or stock companies, or separate communities, only, is pledged for payment, while the whole property of (be country is held to Se cure the discharge of all the obligations of the United States. While the government offers the most liberal terms for its loans, it believes that the very strongest appeal w ill be to the loyalty and patriotism of the people. Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits, rile party depositing must endorse upon the original certificate the denomination of the notes required, and wheflier they are to be issued in blank or paya ble to order. When so endorsed it must be left with the officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded to tne 1 re usury Department. SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BE RECEIVE!, by the Treasurer of the United States, at Washington, the several Assist ant Treasurers nnu designated Depositories, and by the First National Bank of IbiladeJphia, Pa.
