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.

a very prudent and industrious, and withal
wise man; for Richard never learned any

was surprised, and it was no w mJ r rici
Mr. Smith as.ed wl.y So Poor Richard
m a very quiet humble way—for he neve
assumed anything— replied, "i suppose
Mr Smith, you know a great deal bette
than 1 do what to do with your money, au<
how to invest; fbr I never had much, ant
all I got i had to work hard for. Rut
have looked round a good deal upon un
neighbors, and seen what they did wit!
their money, and I will tell you some thing:
I saw and what L thought of it. 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. Rut what did the old man d,
but iw.il his stock the next day! Why
W V everybody Because, it pay
too much dividend. And i . six month,
the bank went to smash. Now, that
know to he a fact. 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

We left Mr Smith going towirds the

with that calm and placid air wh ch iudi
cated the serenity of his disposition and
the consciousness of doing right towards
his country and his fellow man.

•subscriptions will be received for Coupon T^ tJ
ry -Notes, payable throe years front Angus, ISth IW4
w.th semi-annual interest at the rate of seven and
three-tenths per cent, per annum-principal and in
terest both to be paid in lawful money.
1 hese notes will be convertible at the option of the
holder at maturity, into six per cent, gold bearing
bonds, payable not less than five nor more than twen
ty years from their date, as the government may elect.
1 hey will be issued in denominations of *50.*100,5500
sloooand *SOOO, and all subscriptions must be for fifty
dollars or some multiple of fifty dollars.
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.
