long wielded for the best interests of a happy
and prosperous country. We have just
passed through four years of the most terri

served to us as they made it. The mission
of the Democratic party is not yet ended.—
It remains for it to exercise all its great in
fluence, and to . put forth every energy it
possesses, in order that the future destinies

AFTERNOON SESSION
The Convention was called to order by
the President, who announced that the first
business in order was the report of the
committee on resolutions.
Gen. Wm. Patton then reported the fol
lowing resolutions, which were received
with applause and unanimously adopted :
Itesotved, That the Democracy of Lancas
ter county hail with delight the termina
tion ofthe long and sanguinary civil war in
-which the country has been engaged, and
will cordially sustain President Johnson in
:all proper efforts he may make to restore
the integrity of the Union upon a sound
•Constitational basis.
Besotved 4 That to the gallant soldiers of
the Republic, to whom we are indebted un
der the blessing of Providence for the sup
pression of the rebellion, the people owe a
lasting* debt of gratitude, and the memory
.of their unequaled toils and sufferings will
be cherished throughout alisucceeding gen
-erations.
Resolved, That we are opposed to negro
suffrage awl to negro social equality with
[the white race, We hold, in common with
.the late Stephen A. Douglas, that this Gov
•auturient wee made by white men for white
:men and their descendants, and that any
attempt.at a social Au;nalgamation of the
races is a war against nature and an insult
tto the memory of the *heroes And sages of
cthe ItevolationeßT period.
Tae following ieholtffkin was qffeod by
Algenry Shaffner Env
&solved, That the aeassainaticul of
President Lincoln was a diabolical'
outrage upon,the • American people,
who had eleced him to the high
office of Chief Magistrate. It was a base
and murderous Crime which meets and , re- ,
ceives the etecratiou of, every good citizen.
The question was raised as to whether

ted to the Committee on Resolutions with

VISIT OF COLUMBIA COMMANDERY, No.
13, KNIOHTH TEMPLAR, TO ALTOONA:—
Tuesday last being the day appointed for
the annual meeting of the Grand Comman
dery of the Ancient Order of Knights Tem
plar, at Altoona, the Columbia Corn
mandery of this city, accompanied by the
York Commandery, paraded through our
streets in full uniform, from their Asylum
to the depot. They were preceded by the
City Cornet Band, which discoursed excel
lent and appropriate music. A largecrowd
was attracted by the fine display made by
the Sir Knights, and a multitude of friends
assembled at the depot to see them fairly off.
Special cars had been provided for the occa
sion by the Pennsylvania Railroad, which
never does such things by halves. The trip
to Altoona was a most delightful one, the
weather being very pleasant, and the season
of year such as to make the country
along the route appear to the very
best advantage. At the different stopping
points along the route the band played and
crowds of people gathered to listen to the
music, which was certainly very fine. At
about half-past seven o'clock in the eve
ning the train reached Altoona. After par
taking of an excellent supper at the Logan
House, one of the best arranged and most
admirably kept hotels in the State, the Sir
Knights formed in procession and marched
to the hall where the Grand Commandery
were in session. What occurred here is not
subject for newspaper report, and interest
ing as it might be cannot be laid before our
readers.
On the following morning the whole body
of Sir K nights present,amounting in number
to some four or five hundred, assembled in
the grounds attached to the Logan House
for drill; after which they formed in pro
cession and marched through the principal
streets of Altoona, headed by the City
Carnet Band of Lancaster. The Band pre
sented a fine appearance in their new and
handsome uniform, and were much com-
plimented upon the superior music with
which they enlivened the march. -
After the parade, and before the arrival
of the train from the west, the Sir Knights
formed in front of the Logan House for the
-purpose of receiving Lieutenant General
i; rant, who was on his way East from the
great Sanitary Fair at Chicago.
The notice given of his intendedlsassage,
and the time he started, were too short to
admit of preparation for a formal reception ;
but the matter was taken in hand by the
Grand Commandery, and a most imposing
reception given. Previous to the arrival of
the train they formed in line, dressed in full
regalia, and accompanied by their baud,
arranged themselves in double column at
the depot in front of the Logan House. The
line extended from the track to the door by
which the General was to enter the hotel.
The train was stopped a short distance
above the depot to take on a committee ap
pointed to inform the General of the ar
rangements made for his reception. The
crowd of people, which numbered thous
ands, occupied every available foothold be
low, while the root of the verandah in front
of the hotel was Well filled with ladies and
gentlemen. It was with difficulty that the
Knights Templars could keep in line and
keep the passage open.
When the train halted at the station the
appearance of the General upon the plat
form was the signal for deafening cheers,
while the band struck up " Hail to the
Chief." The General was received at the
head of the column .by Sir Knights Strick
land, Turner, Howell of this city, Hutchin
son and Robison, after which he passed be
tween the lines, hat in hand, while the
crowd sent up cheer after cheer, and the
ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and
showerv‘boquets in his path. Col. Parker,
an Indian, who is attached to Gen. Grant's
staff as Military Secretary, accompanied
him. He is a Mason, and displayed the gold
mark of the celebrated Indian Chief, Red
Jacket, which attracted much attention.—
The column remained in line until the Gen
eral had taken breakfast, when he passed out
between them us he had entered. Unosten
tatiously, as is his custom, he received the
honors tendered him.
On entering the car he did not turn to
give an opportunity for hand-shaking,
whereupon a bare-armed, cheek-shirted,
hard-fisted mechanic, who, in his enthusi
asm, was determined to touch him, at least,
jumped upon the platform and patted him
on the back as he passed in, as much as to
say " Bully boy, the General." Shortly
after he appeared on the rear platform of
the car, where he remained shaking hands
with those who presented themselves, and
bowing to the ladies until the train Moved
off, amid the. cheering of the crowd, the
waving of hands and handkerchiefs, and
the music of the band.
After the departure of General Grant the
Sir knights assembled in conclave at their
Asylum, when the annual address was de
livered by the Right Eminent Grand Com
mander, H. Stanley Goodwin. The Colum
bia Commandery of this city then presented
him with a beautiful service of silver ware,
consisting of pi tcher, goblets and salver. The
presentation speech was made by Eminent
Commander, Sir Knight C. M. Howell, of
this city. His speech was very beautiful
and exceedingly appropriate. The Right
Eminent (=rand Commander received it
with that grace and modesty which so
much distinguish him. The following was
the inscription on each piece of silver:
PRESENTED TO
RIGHT EMINENT GRAND COMMANDER,
SIR H. STANLEY GOODWIN,
BY COLUMBIA COMNANDEBY NO. 13,
Lancaster, Pa.
in testimony of their respect for his virtues as
a man, and appreciative regard for his
services as a Mason.
0. A. 747.
Through the kindness of the officers of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Superin
tendent Sir Knight Pitcairn, an excursion
train was placed at the service of the Lan
caster and York Commanderies, in which
they niado the ascent of the mountain, en
joying the grandeur of scenery and being
fully impressed with the wonderful power
of man's genius, which here seems to have
triumphed over objects of almost insur-1
mountable character presented by nature.
The day was peculiarly favorable for im
pressing all who were on the train. Slowly
the locomotives struggled to thaw their
burthen up the steep, gradually rising, un
til the region of the clouds was entered. Be
low them they lay in the form of mist,
whieJ fell slowly as they passed through
them. IF wns a sight long to be' remem
bered by all wbq witnessed it its numbers

reaching the Summit the tudp.rwith the ex
cursionists stopped at the beantifal

the house seemed to vie,witik each other in

to the Sir Knights. . 'rite games of the fair
ones are, Misaes'la . lthliex; ber,
Laura Gilaon, Annie IlltAffee, Mrs..Leman
and llirs: - Gilson. To say, that the favors
presented were enjoyed-and appreciated by
the Bir Knights is to use a very moderate
form of expression. The ladies will please
consider the th,mtra of the party hereby
tendered to them for their courteous treat
ment.
On arriving at Cresson, one of the most
delightful summer resorts in the 'country;
the party paraded tiOugh the beautiful
grounds and proceeded to the saloon where
refreshments were had that were much
relished. The hotel has only been open for,
a few days, but there is already quite a
number of visitors who have thus early re
tired from the heat of the crowded cities.
The train was under the management of
Mr. John McCormack, train master, and
Mr. Eli Green, engineer, to whom all on
board were indebted for care and kind
treatment.
By dusk the party returned to Altoona
all being delighted with their trip. In the
course of the evening the Sir Knights at
tended a meeting of the Grand Coin
mandery, which adjourned to meet at Lan
caster on June the 14th, next year.
On the following morning, Thursday,
quite a number of the Sir Knights were con
ducted through the Workshops of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which
employ over a thousand hands, by Mr.
Power, one of the Superintendents. After
looking at the various objects of interest,
they accompanied Mr. Power to his room,
where they partook of refreshments. He is
entitled to their kind remembrance for his
attention and hospitality.
Upon the arrival of the Philadelphia Ex
press from the east, the Sir Knights of
Columbia Commandery formed in double
column and received General Hambright,
who, accompanied by Adjutant Bodie and
Quartermaster Zeeher, was on his way to
take charge of his command at Louisville.
The Band was present, and a large crowd
assembled, who received the General with
rounds of hearty cheers. After breakfast
ing he proceeded on his w'ay in the train,
being loudly cheered as the train departed.
The Sir Knights took the 12 M. train, and
after a pleasant ride in special cars, kindly
provided for the occasion, reached this city
last evening at half-past seven o'clock. So
ended one of the most pleasant trips imagi
nable, which those who participated in it
will long remember as such.
During the excursion on several occasions
a member of the Columbia Commandery,
distinguished for his portly proportions and
his fine appearance personally, was taken
by the crowd for General Scott, and most
lustily cheered. Taking the cue to the joke
he doffed his chappeau and bowed most
militarily, while renewed cheers invariably
rent the air.
COMPLIMENTARY LIMPER TO GENERAL
HAMBRIGHT.—II is with the greatest pleas
ure that we insert the following letter
handed to us by an esteemed friend. It was
written by Brevet Maj.-Gen. Walcutt, com
manding the Ist Division of the 14th Army
Corps, and pays a high but just compli
ment to the ability displayed by General
Ilambright, whilst in command of the 3d
Brigade. It will be seen that the 79th has
been transferred from the 14th to the 20th
Army Corps :
1-Inqs. IST Div., 14Tx A. C.,
NEAR WASHINGTON, D. C., June 6, '65. j
Col. H. A. Humbright, Conineg Third Brig.,
First Div.:
COLONEL: In view of an order that will
soon be issued discontinuing the 3d Brigade,
and of the transfer of your regiment to the
20th army corps, I desire that you should
at once complete the records of the brigade,
in order that they may be sent to the Adju
tant-General of the Army. As the Com
missary of Musters of the Division, Captain
Tracy, is so very busy, it will be necessary
for him to return the papers of the 70th
regiment P. V., in order that the muster out
of those whose terms of service expire prior
to October Ist may be discharged upon your
arrival at the' oth corps.
Colonel, I regret exceedingly, as you and
your excellent regiment are to be retained
in the service, that it becomes necessary
that you should leave the Division. Your
administration of the 3d brigade has been
most excellent--everything done as I could
have desired. I appreciate your services
fully, and rest assured that you shall always
have my best wishes for your success.
I remain, Colonel, sincerely your friend,
CHAS. C. WALCUTT,
Brevet Major-General Commanding.
PENSIONS.—Now that the war is over, it
may he interesting to many to learn the fol
lowing items showing to whom pensions
may be granted:
1. Invalids, disabled since March 4, 1861,
in the military or naval service of the
United States, while in the line of duty.
2. Widows of officers, soldiers and sea
men who have died of wounds received, or
disease contracted in the service as above.
3. Children under sixteen years of age, of
either of the aforesaid deceased parents, if
there is no widow surviving or from the
time of the widow's re-marriage.
4. Mothers of officers, soldiers or seamen
deceased as aforementioned, and who were
dependent on the son for support, in whole
or in part.
5. Sisters under sixteen years of age, de
pendent on said deceased brother, wholly
or in part for support, provided there are
none of the last three eases above men
tioned.
Invalids and friends of deceased soldiers
are reminded that in order to have said
pensions commence when the service ter
minated, the application therefore must be
made within a year of the discharge of the
invalid, or decease of the officer, soldier,
seaman, or as the case may be.
THE WHEAT Minty.—The Reading Ga
zette says :
We regret to learn that serious injury is
being done to the growing wheat crop in
some parts of Berks county, by the Wheat
Midge, or Weevil. In Gummi, Spring and
the Heidelbergs, nearly every wheat field
has been attacked by this little pest, and it
is feared that a fourth of the crop will
be destroyed in consequence. Out of
twenty-four heads of wheat plucked indis
criminately, the grains in eight were nearly
entirely destroyed, and the remaining heads
were more or less injured. This was along
the fence, and it is hoped that the interiors
of the fields have not suffered in the same
proportion. In other respects the wheat
fields look well and proniise an abundati
harvest
We hear similar complaints from other
parts of the state, and in this county sonic
of our farmers are apprehensive of damage
to the crop front this source. The terrible
little pest it was hoped was dead and done
with, but it seems to be an established nui
sance among us.
CONSUMPTlON.—Notwithstanding the
many articles advertised to cure Consump
tion, we do not believe, when once fully
seated in the system, it can be perfectly
cured. But we do know of hundreds of
cases where persons were supposed to be
suffering under that fatal disease, who have
become perfectly well and robust from the
use of Speer's Samburg port wine. Many
times people for years waste and at last die
from diseases of the kidneys or glands,
when they were supposed to have, and were
treated for consumption. A long-continued
affection of the kidneys, however, may
eventually result in consumption. The
Samburg port • wine used alone, or taken
with a fresh raw egg, or new milk, daily,
has been found to be an excellent remedy,
and has the reputation in some places, of
rendering a perfect cure for consumptibm—
Medical Times.
The wine certainly contaim valuable pro
perties. Let our physiciew and invalids

Ballots and Bullets
The New York Tribunc says, senten
tiously :
"If we give the negro a bayonet, why
can we not give him a ballot? If he
gives his life to save the country, should
we not give him a voice in its manage
ment ?"
It does not follow that every negro
who has held a bayonet has served the
country ; nor does it appear that every
negro who "gave his life to save the
country"—that is, who went into the
army—did so through patriotism. Per
haps the least said about negro patriot
ism, in the face of the bounties offered,
the equality promised, the persuasion
used and the force employed to get up a
black army, the better for both the ne
gro and his admirers. As to the mili
tary service performed with the bayonet
by the black troops, in consideration of
which the ballot is claimed for them,
the country remains in very dark (if not
blissful) ignorance ; in fact, to use the
current phrase, "they can't see it."
Taking their numbers into considera
tion, there could not probably be select
ed from any of the armies of the Re
public an equivalent number of white
troops who have performed less service.
Perhaps this may have been owing to
the fact that that class of troops, through
special favoritism, were always kept in
reserve, in holiday trim—to grace re
views and dress parades, and to take
quiet possession of cities and battlefields
after the white veterans had defeated
and routed the foe. Whatever may
have been the reason, we ask if such is
not the truth? If denied, will the negro
suffrage advocates please contrast the
services of the white and black soldiers,
numbers with numbers, and show
wherein the latter have been superior?

The Town or Greensburg
The editor of the Westmoreland Re
publican, one of the ablest Democratic
papers in the State, being, like many of
his fellows, a little hard up for local
matter, has got upon interesting sketch
of the town of Greensburg, from which
we make the following extract:
Greensburg, like Rome, was not built
in a day. The county of Westmoreland
was erected out of that part of old Bed
ford county lying west of the Laurel
Hill, by an act of the Provincial or Co
lonial Legislature, passed February 26,
1773. The boundaries of Westmoreland,
when first definsii„ comprised within
their ample limitA,- the present, popu
lous, wealthy and well-cultivated coun
ties of Washington, Fayette, Allegheny,
Butler, Mercer, Crawford, Erie, War
ren, Armstrong, Clarion and Indiana.
The first county town of. Westmoreland
was Hanna's town, so called after Robt.
Hanna, Esq., the first Presiding Judge
of the Courts. Hanna's town was situ
, ated three miles northeast of Greens
' burg, on the old road to New Alexan
dria. It consisted of some thirty two
story log houses, a wooden Court House
and Jail, and a small fort, with a stock
ade. Hanna's town was the first place
west of the Allegheny mountains, where
justice was dispensed according to the
forms of English and American, law.
The first Court of Common Pleas was
held in April, 1773, and the first Pro
thonotary and Clerk of the Courts was
Arthur St. Clair, afterwards a Major
General in the war of the Revolution.
Hanna's town was attacked, taken and
burnt by a party of predatory and hos
tile Indians in July 1782. After the
destruction of Hanna's town, the seat
of justice was removed to . Greensburg.
About the year 1784 Greensburg was
laid out as a town, and made the place
for holding the civil and criminal Courts.
In February, 1799,1 t was incorporated
as a borough. The town is situated on
the Pennsylvania Central Itailroad,and
on the old Bedford And Pittsburg turn
- pace, about sayenty miles qf Bed
ford and thirty mileseast of Pittsburg.

Hampton, Virginia,
To One Renihil,tii;
MY DEAR SIR: If I bad ever heard your
name in any decent connection, I should
have remembered the in Weis and addressed
you niore formally. I only recollect your
name as that of a certain Henderson who
was detected a year or so ago, in some petty
but uncommonly brazen piece of thieving
I believe about the New York Custom
House. I always thought of you, when I
saw your tonne in the police column *of the
Dailies, as some small associate or perhaps
tool, of Palmer, the man of proclamations,
or Stanton, the man of fees, or Cummings,
the man of herrings and Scotch Ale, or
even of Simon Cameron, the man of moc
casins and plunderin general. I may even
now be taking too generous a view of your
case in thus addressing you as one at large.
It is not long since the public understood
you were in the custody of Col. Baker or
some gentleman in the like business of fer
reting out and restraining the bodies of un
fortunate persons whose ideas about the
rights of property had become confused.—
But then the: World tells us that "Hender
son is out on bail," and it is more than
probable that this will find you at your lit
tle table in the garret of the Evening Post
office.
This note is called for by a leader in the
Post, of May 9llt, entitled "
_t Bit of Hi-story
Berived,” and which, partially sanctioned
by Mr. Bryant's more respectable name,
has been extensively copied by the shoddy
Press of the country, and again its false
hood as extensively exposed by the Demo
cratic Press. Yet the copying of the stupid
and transparant coinage of your briin still
continues by the poor country *editors
equally capable but not sufficiently indus
trious to manufacture a new story every
bit as good. I accuse " Henderson "of that
precious leader, because I know Mr. Bry
ant would exculpate himself and say " it
was Henderson," the moment the slander
was so stiffly proved that he must retract
it. 1 suppose you occupy that unhappy re
lation to him which the mythical foreman
does to the country Editor. Whenever any
particularly outrageous calumny appears
in the paper, and the Post is threatened
with suit and damages, the story goes,
"done without my knowledge or consent,"
" Henderson is the man," and so every
body says " Henderson's a poor devil—in
trouble enough already," and the breeze
which threatened the Post blows over.—
You are a convenient person, Mr. Hender
son, but whether you are selected for this
base scribbling, because of your peculiar
aptitude for the business, or dri , i , en to it in
view of the fact that your ready cash is
swallowed up in defending yourself upon
the indictments lodged against you on infor
mation of Government detectives, I do not
pretend to say.
You say you were at the Cincinnati Con
vention, and that you reported proceedings
not found in the official record or in any of
the Democratic papers. You need not have
told us that. Nobody would have expected
you to report what other people reported or
to have heard what other people heard.—
You have a perfect genius for seeing and
hearing what no other person can, try he
never so hard.
In this leader, you draw quite a graphic
picture of a Convention in breathless ex
pectation of something, (of course though
this foolish Convention was expecting some
thing, Henderson alone knew what.) This
you dub the Democratic Convention of
1836. You then proceed to call upon the
floor "Judge Black, of Pennsylvania,"
(afterwards Attorney General under Bu
chanan) and put into his mouth one of your
most startling speeches. He gave on Mr.
Buchanan's behalf a terrible pledge to the
nullifiers. If ever they wanted to secede
Mr. Buchanan would not only not prevent
them, but he would go with them, and
carry Pennsylvania and pretty near every
thing else along with him. In short he
would never cease from "following after
them."
Now, Mr. Henderson, if you were the
harmless man of the pen, which no doubt
you pretend to he when arraigned on an
indictment, you would have made that
fanciful convention. of yours sit at some
other place and at sonic other time, and
you would have invented sonic new names,
or culled them from sonic odd book in Mr.
Bryant's library. In that case the great
Democratic party of the Union would not
have been belied, and Buchanan and Black
would not have been so grossly t",,kandered.
But to settle your " Bit of History" for
ever, Judge Black, of Pennsylvania, after
wards Attorney General under Buchanan,
was never in Cincinnati in his life, he was
not in that Convention, nor was he ever in
any but one Convention, and that was a
Jackson State Convention, lie did not
even make a political speech during the
campaign of 1856. Montgomery Blair once
used this wretched invention of yours in a
public address in New York. Judge Black
hearing of its circulation, by the mouth of
a gentleman, addressed hint a note setting
him right, and Mr. Blair promptly pub
lished the correspondence with a handsome
acknowledgement of his error. You will
find it among some of the campaign rub
bish of last fall, though I suppose you did
see it long before you reiterated the slander.
James Madison Wells
William W. Holden

:William L. Sharkey.
Andrew .1. Hamilton
There was in that Convention a Col, Sam,
W. Black, of Pittsburgh, who has since
fallen, like a brave and gallant soldier, at
the head of his regiment, fighting for the
Union, while you and other loyal gentle
men were plundering the Custom House
and laying plans to throw. Col. Baker off
your scent. Mr. Dawson delivered the
authorized speech of the Pennsylvania dele
gation, and if Mr. Buchanan had had any
pledges to make he would have made them
through him. Col. Sam. Black did make a
kind of volunteer address, but you have
given not a single word of it, with the ex
ception of the passage from Ruth, and it
only expressed that spirit of brotherhood
which created and maintained the Union.
It was uttered for the Union and in the
name of the Union. He who spoke it rests
in an unknown spot in a Virginia swamp,
surrounded by the graves of his own Union
soldiers, while you are torturing his lan
guage to malign his living friends,
I think Judge Black has clearly proved
an alibi. My sincere wish is that in your
forthcoming trial you may be as fortunate.

For the Intelligencer
One Effect of Emancipation
The emancipation of slavery will give
the Southern States an increased represen
tation of fourteen members of Congress,
and this, too, whether the right of suffrage
is extended to the negroes or not. Hereto
fore, the Southern people only had a three
fifth representation for their slaves—now
the entire population, black as well as
white, will be counted in per capita, the
same as is done in Pennsylvania and other
Northern States. To make this still more
plain: It is estimated that there are, or
were, 3,600,000 slaves in the fifteen South
ern States. Two-fifths of that number
(1,440,000) were not counted in the enumer
ation for Congressional purposes. The
ratio of representation is, in round num
bers, 100,000. Make this the divisor and
the other number the dividend, and you
have an additional representation in Con
gress, for the black population, of fourteen
and a fraction over. , This is so transparent
that the most obtuse intellect can see
through and understand it.
What, then, has been gained by the North
in its crusade against Southern slavery?
Instead of weakening the South in num
bers and influence in the Congress of the
United States, the emancipation policy will
have largely augmented both. And not
only so, but it will give the Southern States
'an addition of fourteen Presidential elec
tors! We ask our Republican Mends to
think over this matter. It is a question of
deep import to them and to us, and dis
poses, in a very summary way, of the prin
cipal argument they have been Using for
years against the Southern people on ac
count of their three-filth slave 'representa
tion. The result of the insane policy of the
Abolitionists is well calculated . tu remind
one of the old Harry about the fooliSh man
who bit off his nose to spite his face., ' Our
political opponents have got a great deal
more than they bargained for, and in the
' long run will find that Samba is a trouble
some customer on their., hands. Yankee
cunning, like ambition, may "o'erleap

PURE GRAPE WINE
SPEEI?' 8
SAMBURO PORT GRAPE WINE
VINEYARD, PASSAIC, NEW JERSEY
PURE AND FOUR YEARS OLD
For the Communion Table, for Family Use, and
for Medical PU7710363.
This is an article of Wine from the Pure Port
Grape Juice, fermented, without the addition
of spirits of any liquors whatever. Has a full
body, rich flavor, and slightly stimulating.—
None is disposed of until four years old.
The beneficial effect deriyed from it use is
astonishing thousands, and cannot be realized
from other wine, nor from the thousands of
Patent Bitters now crowding the market.
All who try it express their surprise that so
delicious a Wine is produced in this country,
and that it is IN far different from what they
had expected.
Some who knew nothing further of the Wine
then seeing it advertised, thought at first it

THIRD SERIES $2:3(),Q09,000.
By authority of the Secretary, of the Treas
ury, the undersigned, ; the General
,Ifitibsurip
tion Agent for, the sale of 13MtedStates Wuxi
ties, offers to the public the third series of
Treasury Notes, bearing seven and three-tenths
per cent. interest per annnum, known as the
7-30 LOAN.
These notes are issued under date of July 15,
1865, and are payable three yearafrom that data
in currency, or are convertible it the option Of

Notes of all the denominations named will
be promptly furnished upon receipt of sub-
scrlptions
The Notes of this Third Series are precisely
similar in form and privileges to the Seven-
Thirties already sold, except that the Govern
ment reserves to itself the option of paying
interest in gold coin at ti per cent., instead of
7 3-lithe in currency. Subscribers will deduct
the Interest iu currency up to July 15th, at the
time when they subscribe.
The delivery of the notes of this third series
of the Seven-Thirties will commence on the Ist
of Juue, and will be made promptly and con
tinuously after that-date.
The slight change made in the conditions of
this THIRD SERIES affects only the matter
of interest. The payment in gold, it made,
will be equivalent to the currency interest of
the higher rate
The return to specie payments, in the events
of which only will the option to pay interest in
Gold be availed of, would so reduce and equal
ize prices that purchases made with six per
cent. in gold would be fully equal to those
made with seven and three-tenths per cent
in currency. This is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKEI
now offered by pie Government, and Its au
parlor advantages make it the

This amount, at the rate which It Is being ab
sorbed, will all be subscribed for within
sixty days, when the notes will undoubtedly
command a premium, as has uniformly been
the case on closing the subscription to other
Loans.
In order that citizens of every town and sec
tion of the country may be afforded facilities
for taking the loan, the National Banks, State
Bankv, and Private Bunkers throughout the
country have generally agreed to receive sub
scriptions at par. Subscribers will select their
own agents, in whom they have confidence, and
who only are to be responsible for the delivery
at the notes tor which they receive orders.

Having had ten years' experience in the Drill

work. Persons in want of a genuine Grain
Drill will be careful that they get the Keeler dc
Barthel, patent, manufactured by Jacob Bar

that are not genuine.
Repairing of all kinds done on reasonable

By strict attention to business I hope to re
