His official position has enabled him to obtain full knowledge of the bogus substitute, bounty-jump ing business, loafers and swindlers generally, and lie is therefore compe tent and anxious to protect the veter ans against all xharptrs.

WAR NEW 8 The movements now progressing are culminating towards somo decisive events which will have an important bearing on the war. Sherman must soon be met by the rebels, for if he j once succeeds in effecting a junction ! either with Sheridan on the left or - Schofield on the right, he will have an army capable of giving battle to Lee's forces even without the direct aid of Grant. His it must bo remembered are no undisciplined forces, but the flower of that army which drove the rebels from forts,entrenchments,ridges, mountain sides, fortified cities, river banks, and other advantageous situa tions in Tennessee and Georgia, and we have therefore no fears that his victorious march will be stopped by anything short of Lee's best troops, and then only by a preponderance of numbers. These we think Grant will not permit Lee to furnish, for if the latter once begins to weaken his lines, cither by the withdrawal of his best troops or replacing them by new re cruits, white or black, the fate of Rich mond is sealed. The month of March may witness great events, for the reb els cannot be ignorant that every dav iu that month will add thousands to the Union army, which no effort of theirs can neutralize, and that if they delay attack until Spring their condi tion will be more hopeless than ever. Official Report of Gen. Schofield. General Schofield makes the following report ofthecapture of Fort Anderson : FORT ANDERSON, Feb. 19,1865. General: I have the honor to report the success of our operations against Fort Anderson and the adjacent works on both shies of Cape Fear river. Yesterday, while the guns maintained a heavy fire upon Fort Anderson, I pressed the enemy on both sides of the river, and sent a force under Gen. Cox about sixteen miles around a swamp to turn the enemy's right. This force made its way along a narrow defiie between two swamps, and completely turned the enemy's position As soon as the movement became known to the enemy he abandoned his works and retreated towards "Wilming ton. \\ e captured ten guns, uninjured, and a considerable amount of ammu nition. We have about filly prisoners. The loss in killed and Avounded is small OD either side. The troops are pursuing the enemy, and the gunboats are moving up the river. Fort Ander son and its collateral works are very strong, and rendered almost inaccess ible by swamps. A small force could have held them until their supplies were exhausted. My information is that the rebels have a line of defence beyond Tom Creek, where they propose to make a stand. If so, it can probably be only a shortone. Capture of Wilmington. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 1865—11. 30 P. M.— The following official report of the capture of Wilmington has been forwarded bj General Grant. Our troops entered Wilmington on the jLuTulag of the 22J Inst After the ayac- nation of Fort Anderson, General Schofield directed Cox to follow its garrison towards Wilmington, while Terrj followed Hoke on the east side of the river. The latter took np a new line, four miles from Wilmington, but was so closely pressed by Terry that he could send no troops to the west side. On that side the rebels made a stand behind Tom Creek, but on the 20th Cox crossed his troops below them, on a flatboat, attacked them in the rear, and routed them, taking two guns and three hundred prisoners. On the 21st Cox pushed to the Buroswick river, opposite Wilmington, where the bridges were on fire, and on his arrival the rebels began burning cotton and rosin in the city, and left it that night. Our captures, including Fort Anderson, amount to about 700 prisoners, and 30 guns Citizens state that the rebels burned over 1,000 bales of cotton, and 15,000 barrels of flour. The Union feeling showed itself quite strong in the city. Terry followed Hoke northward. C. B ROMSTOCK, Lieut. Col., A. D. C., and Brevet Brig. Gen. Capture of Charleston, S. C. NEW YORK, February 21. The purser of the steamer Fulton, which arrived here this morning from Port Royal, on the ISth, at six o'clock, p. rn., stated that Charleston was evac uated by the enem)' on the night of the 17th, leaving the several fortifications uninjured, besides two hundred guns which they spiked. The evacuation was first discovered at Fort Moultrie, in the morning at 10 o'clock. Part of the troops stationed at James Island crossed over in boats and took posses sion of the city without opposition The upper part of the city is on fire. At nine o'clock the flag was raised amidst cheers. As fast as the forces could be thrown into the city they were set to work to put out the fire, which up to the time of leaving was raging fearfully in different parts of the city. Old men, women and children were rushing frantically to and Iro in an agony of despair at the loss of their homes and the killing and mutilating of their friends. It is impossible to estimate the amount of cotton des troyed. Several thousand bales were collected in different parts of the city and set on fire almost simultaneous with all the hospitals. There is no doubt the rebels intended to burn the city to the ground, despite the misery it would entail on thousands of wo men; children and old men, of which class the inhabitants of Charleston are now almost entirely composed. It was the opinion of Gen. Gilmore and staff that in all probability two-thirds of the city would be destroyed before the tiro could be extinguished, with the imperfect means of subduing it at hand. The last or rear guard of the rebels left Charleston at four this morning, and there are various and conflicting rumors as to their destination, but the prevailing opinion is that they intend concentrating in the vicinity of Flor ence, to which point they have railroad communication from Charleston, un less it has been recently destroyed by the expedition to Bull's Bay. Several hundred rebels who secreted themselves in different parts of the city, when the main column was re treating, had given themselves up and taken the oath. They tell the story of being tired of the war, halt starved, Ac. They express a desire to be al lowed to take the oath of allegiance to our Government and to remain in the city. ihe first flag over Sumter was raised by Capt. Henry M. Bragg, an aid on Gen. Gilmore's staff, having for a staff an oar and boat-hook lashed together. Through a carelessness which seems epidemic on the Upper Potomac, Gens. Crook and Kelly were captured at Cumberland, Md. last week by a rebel squad of cavalry, who entered the town unmolested and took them out of their beds. A letter from Hatcher's Run, dated 25th ult., states that Grant's army is under marching orders, to be ready to move at a moment's notice, and that a heavy engagement is expected for the possession of the South Side R. R. —No draft for this district had been ordered up to Saturday last, but the fortunate holders of tickets may now daily look for the prizes —A correspondent states that some copperhead sneaks made a beautiful exhibition of themselves on Monday last at Mc\ eytown by insulting Rev. John Anderson, who had stopped' there to see some of his old friends. Chas. H. Dyer. the robber of the Crawford County Bank at Meadville, in court last week plead guiltv to the charge, and was sentenced to four years and three months solitary con finement in the Western Penitentiary. —John Burns, who distinguished himself at the battle of Gettysburg, has been most comfortably provided with a situation by Col. Eakin, Chief Quartermaster of the Commissary Bureau at Washington. D. C. He was made Chief of Labor at the immense Government Corral at Giesboro, D. C., a duty which Mr. Burns will faithfully perform, while the labor involved is of a character suited to the brave old man, and pay amply sufficient toprovide him with everything necessary for his comfort. Ladles' Purs. V JcA I t te o^?" ortn,ent at CHARLES OAK FORD !t SONS, Coatiuental Hotel, Phila delphia. Interesting Questions and Answers Rel ative to the 7 30 U. 8. Loan. Mr. Jay Cook, of Philadelphia, who for so long a lime had the management of the popular 600 million 5-20 Loan, has just been appointed by Secretary Fes senden, the General Agent to dispose of the only pop ular Loan now offered for sale by the Government, ▼irj the -srvis-ruiETr." In entering upon his duties he desired to answer plainly the large number of questions, daily and hourly propounded to h:rr„ so that his fellow countrvmen may all understand wl at this "Seven-Thirty Loan" it wha* are its peculiar merits.—How they can subscribe for ot obtain the notes. Ac. Is? Question. Why is tr..s Loan called the-Seven- Thirty" Loan! J4 twicer. It bear* Interest, in currency, at the rate ot isevets I>oliars and thinv cents, each year,on every hundred dollars; making the interest as follows.- Once cent per day on each i 50 note. Two cents 100 " Ten " 500 twenty " 1.000 - One dollar " " 5.0u0 " 2d Question. When and how can they be obtained! Amver. They are for -ale. at par, and accrued in terest. by a1) sub-Treasuries, National and other Ban ks and all Bankers and Brokers. Sd Question. When is the interest payable ana how can it be collected? Answer. Ihe Coupons or Interest Tickets are due 15th of February and 15th of August in each vear, and can be cut off from the note, and will be cashed by any Sub-Treasurer, L*. S. Depository, National or other Bank or Banker. 4tA Question. When must the Government pay off these 7.30a! Ansu.tr. They are due in two years and a half from the 15th of February, 1566; viz: on the litb of Aug , 1567. stfi Question. Must I receive back my money so soon as 1867 ? Answer. Xo: not unle-s you yourself prefer to do so—the Law giTes you the right to demand from the Government, at that t.me, either your money or an equai amount at par. of the famous and popular 5751 G'jld Bearing 6 per cent. Loon. 6 th Question. How much do you consider thispr.vi lege of conversion, into 5 20 Loan to be worth? Arisictr. 5.20s tear.ng Gold Interest from Ist of November, are to-day worth 9 per cent, premium. If they are worth no more at the end of two years and a half, when you have a right to them, than they note are, mis premium aided to the interest you receive, will g'.ve you at least 10 per cent, per annum for your money—but the opinion is that they will be worth more than 9 per cent, premium at that time. 'th Question. What other advantage is there in in vesting in the 7.3 M Loan? .4 uS>rer. It cannot be taxed by States, Counties, or Ci.ies, and this add- from one to three per cent, per annum to the net m -orae of the holder, according to the rate of taxation in various localities. AS. bonds and -locks, except those of the ('sited State-, and all mortgages. A.c. are i*x'-d. not only by the Govern ment, but by State-, Count.es and Cities. ith Q.c 'i'j .. How does the Government raise the money to pay the interest, and is it safe and sur! Answer. The Government eolle -ts, by taxes-inter nal revenue, an i duties on imports, fully three hun dred millions ea h year. This is nearly three times as much as is needed to pay the interest on all the debt, and a- soun as the war is ended the amount not needed to pay the interest will be used in paying off tie debt. Our Government has twice paid off all its debt, and can easily do so again. The mtere-t is sure to be paid promptly, and the debt itself is the very safest investment in the world. It is as safe as a mortgage on a good form and pays a better interest. It is in fact a F'.r.-t M -rigage. on ail lands, ail incomes, ail railroad and c-uDai bonds, and bank or other stock*, mortgages. Ac. Nothing can be safer, for we are all bound for it, and all that we have is firmly held for the payment of prin cipal and interest. How foolish tho-e people are. who keep their gold and greenbacks idle and locked up, or pureha-e mortgages or railroad stocks and bonds, which pay only 6 or 6 per cent interest, when these Seven-T mmes pay (counting the premium on Five- Twenties,; over ten per cent, and are so much safer and surer. 9rA Question. How many Seven-Thirties are there, and how much remains unsold? Answer, There are only about three hundred and twenty-five millions authorized by law. and only about one hundred and ninety millions remain unsold. iOth Question. How long will it take you to sell the balance! .4tourer. There are about 800 National Banks all en gaged m selling them ; also a iarge number of the old banks, and at least three thousand private bankers and brokers, and special agents will be engaged in all parts of the country in disposing of them to the people. lUA Question. How long will it take to sell the whole? -An.rt.rer. In less than three months they will be ail sold, and will no doubt then sell at a premium, as was the case with the old Seven-Thirties, the first Twen ty-Year Loan, and the Five-Twenties. The above questions and answers, it is believed, will give full information to all. If not, the General Sub scription Agent, of any of the Banks or Bankers em ployed to sell the Loan, wiil be glad to answer all questions, and to furni-h the Seven-Thirties in small or large sums 'as the notes are issued in denomina tions of SSO, $l9O. $590. SI,OOO and $6.000.i and to render it easy for all to subscribe—thus fulfilling the instruc tions of Mr Fessenden, who earnestly desires that the people of the whole land, (as well as the capital ists.) shall have every opportunity afforded them of obtaining a portion of this most desirable of invest .' menu.
