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.

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.
