This IMS expression refers to the hopes of the " copperheads," of bringing about a disso ntion of the Union by means of the Hartford Convention, which had adjourned to meet again, if necessary. It is proper to add that their hopes would been frustrated, for that Convention was too essentially patriotic iu the designs of a great majority of its mem bers to have given the vile traitors any com fort. It may also be proper to add, for the gratification of the reader, and as a warning to the " copperheads' of to-day, that many of those of 1814 suffered severely by the very distresses their villanies had produced, and that they were ever detested by all honorable men. They were consigned to everlasting social and political obscurity. > Similar enemies of the country are now, in various ways.endeavoriug to alarm the peo pie concerning the National finances. Every art which wickidness cau divine wiil be used to accomplish their vile purpose. They roll up their eyes and cast up their hands in pretended horror because of the " crushing national debt." They hiut darkly of repudiation by a new Administration, and thus hope to destroy confidence in the public stocks, and they point maliguautly to the " Continental money" uow in the cabinets of the curious, as foreshadow ing the fate of the Government currency, which they declare will " never be redeemed."— A few words on that point and I wiil c'ose : CONTINENTAL CURRENCY "When the Continental paper currency was rapidly depreciating, and its redemption no longer a probability, the Continental Congress addressed the people on ibe subject, and said, in substance : " suppose at the end of the war, the amount unredeemed bills of credit snail be and the loans SIOO,-1 000.000 ; the National debt would theu bo $300,0000,000. We are a people three mil , lion iu number, making the burden on each, ! SIUO. Fund the debt, and make it payable in twenty years, and it makes $5 a year for each person. Assess meu according to their estate, and how few would be called upon to pay auythiug 1 Then consider that the popu lation will double in twenty years, making the paymeut proportionately easier.'' Thus hopefully argjed the father, when there was no Natioual Government to levy a , dollar of taxes, and the resources of the coun try were undeveloped unsuspected. Ilow will , this reasoning apply now ? Suppose our na , tional debt, at the close of this war, shall be | $3.000,000,000, or ten times that of 1783. > We are uow a people more than thirty mil- j lions in number, or ten times as many as the fathers uamed. The remainder of their ar gument will apply to our caso exactly, with , the extremly imporant fact added, that we havo a National Government that bears loyal ty of the vast majority of the people, and with powers for toxatiou equal to any exigen cy that may be contemplated, with the rctour ces of the country, developed and kaowu, are incalculable. Looking at facts as they stand, no intelligent, honest man will say to his neighbor : " Don't trust the Government securities ; the ' greenbacks' will never be redeemed." He knovrs better. Be assured that every man of that stamp is of the " cop perhead persuasion," and loves party more than the Republic. A LOYAI. CITIZEN. FIRF, TV MONTROSE. —We learn from the Montrose Republican that about three o'clock on Friday morning last, the Foundry and Machine, Plow and Wood Bhcp3 situated on Chesout street, owned by Sayers anil Broth ers, were consumed by fire. The fire origina ted in the Machine Shop,bat from what cause is not known. Sayer and Brothers were suf ferers to the amount of $45,000,0n which was an insurance of SIO,OOO. 11. B. Osgood,who occupied part of the building for the manufac ture of Scales and American Hardware, lost about $7,000 —no insurance Delos Birch, moulder, lost SIOO worth of patterns and oth er property. Charles Ilerrick, machinist, lost about S3O in tools. Joseph Cockayna about the same, while none escaped without los. Judson Mott, moulder,while bravely engag ed trying to rescue his employers' property from the basement of the plow shop, narrowly escaped being burned in the falling ruins. His bands were badly{injuretl,and his coat and hat were burned aiinost entirely off. Daniel Say er, one of the firm, was slightly burned at the same time, and also had his coat burned off his back. This, says the Republican, is a sad blow to the business iuterest of Montrose. The estab lishment lir.s added at least SIOO,OOO per year, for the last three years, to the prosperity of our business population, and under the ener getic management of Sayer Brothers would, without doubt, ir.crease the above sum. Rath er than uot havo it rebuilt and again in oper ation, our business meu can afford to donate tha buildings and machinery, and place it in toe hands of the old firm, who arc well known as energetic, hard working, honerable men. Steps have been taken by the citizens of Montrose for tiie purpose of aiding Sayer and Brothers to rebuild their works, and to obtaia of their creditors an extension of time. DESERTING AND SXULKING. —It is now said that the deserters end absentees from tl e ar my amount to 145,000. It seems incredible, but the number of meu who havo backed out of their obligations to Uncle Sam is unques tionable large. Some eamc home on furlough, but their furloughs havo run out. Some have been sent off OH business, bat have not found their way back. Some have deserted out right. We hear of qnite a number iu different parts of this county who have abandoned the service, aud are dodging every man who op pears in their vicinity. Insertion has been very mildly dealt with. But the days of len iency are almost ended. The remarkable proclamation—remarkable because of its clem ency—fixes the first of April as the limit of their return. After that day the law will be sternly applied. We advise those who are shirking their duty, to return before the day fixed, and their friends can do them uo greater unkindnesa than by persuading them to re main or concealing their desertion. Energetic, prompt marshals will be appointed, and not only the sworn recruits will be found out and returned.but the men who were lately drafted. It is not permitted that the law should be set at naught, and though skulkers have hith erto been uudisturbed, they will ere long be unearthed. —Brig.-Genera l Co* La "died*at Columbus, Ohio, ou Saturday morning last. E. O. GOODRICH, EDITOR. TOWANDA : Thursday Morning, April 2, 1863. COUNTY ! The Loyal citizens of Bradford county who desire cordially to unite in sustaining the NATIONAL AND STATE ADMIN ISTRATIONS, in their patriotic efforts to suppress a sectional and unholy rebel lion against the unity of the Republic, and who desire to support, by every power of the Government, our heroic brethren in arms, who are braving disease and the per ils of the field, to preserve the UNION OF OUR FATHERS, and who will sup port the nominees of the State Convention hereafter named, are requested to meet in their several election districts, at such hour and places as may be designated by the Committee of Vigilance, hereafter designated, on the afternoon or evening of SATURDAY, the 2d of MAY, 18G3, and select two delegates to represent said dis trict in a County Convention, to be held at the Court House, in the borough of To wanda, on MONDAY EVENING, the 4th of MAY, for the purpose of electing Del egates to the State Convention, to be held at PITTSBURG, on "WEDNESDAY, the Ist day of JULY next, and take such fur ther action as may be deemed necessary to strengthen the Government in this hour of its peril, and to exhibit to the just ex ecration of mankind all who sympathize with Treason.

[The List of Vigilance Committees will appear next week.] THE 5-20 NATIONAL LOAN. The following correspondence in regard to the new National Loan, conveys information of importance to the public. This loan has al ready became a favorite means of investment and is destined to become still more popular. Subscriptions are daily received at the princi pal t dices to the amount of millions : E. O. GOODRICH, Dear Sir: —Almost dai'y I am asked sundry questions in regard to the Lorn of the Government, commonly ca led the " Five-Twenty Loan." As these questions are quite common and fre quenily asked, I have seen nothing, which in so short a space,covers the whole ground, as the enclosed reply from JAY COOK, Esq.. to a resident from Berks county, who has written to him for the information. I will esteem it quite a favor if you will find a place for it m your columns, as I have no doul.t also will many of your tenders. The demand for these bonds is very ac tive, and I shall be happy to hear from any of our citi zens who may have some funds to invest. Truly, yours, B. S. BUSSELL. Agent for the Government Loan. Jat COOKS, United States Loan Agent, 111 South Third Street, Philadelphia— Dear Sir:— [ see by your papers that you are selling for the Government a new L> an called " Five Twc.ities." I expect to lmve shortly a lew thousand dollars to spare, and as I have made ~p my mind that the Government Loans are sale and good, and that it is my duty and interest, at this time, to put my money into them in preference over any other loans or stocks, I write to get information of you as follows i x, Ist.

I have no doubt that a good many of my neighbors would like to take these bonds and ifyou will answer my ques tions I will show the letter to them. Very Respectfully, "S M F OFFICE OF JAY COOKF., SMP seription Agent, at ) OFFICE OF JAY COOKE & Co., Banker, y 114 South Third Street. J PHILADELPHIA, March 23, 1863. DEMI SIR :—Your letter of the 20th inst., is received . and 1 will cheerfully give the information desired by answering your questions in due order. Ist. These Bonds arc called " Five Twenties," be I cause while tney are twenty year Bonds, they mat/ he 1 redeemed by the Government in Gold at any tune after fee years. Many people suppose that the interest is only 5 20-100 per cent—this is a mistake, they pay SIX per cent Interest. 2nd. Legal Tender notes or checks upon Philadelphia or N'ew York that wiil bring Legal Tender are what the Secretary allows me to receive—no d"ubt your near est Bank will give you a check or Legal Tenders for your country funds. 3d. The bonds are sold at PAR, the interest to com I mence the day ycu pay the money. I 4th. I have made arrangements with your nearest i Bank or Bunker who will generally have the Bonds on hand. If not, you can semi the money to me by Express, | and I will send back the Bonds tree of cost ' sth. The Bonds pay Six per cent, interest in GOLD, ! three per cent, every six mouths, on the first day of May and November at the Mint in Philadelphia, or at any j Sub-Treasury in New York or e sewhere. If von have ' coupon Bonds, all yon have to do is to cut the coupon oil each six months, and collect it yourself or give it to your Bank for collection ; ifyou have Registered Bonds you can give your Banker a power of attorney to collect the interest for you. titb. Congress has provided that the Bonds shall be PAID IN GOLD when due. 7th. The duties on imports of all articles from abroad must be paid in Gold, and this is the way Secretary (,'IIASK gets his gold : it is now being paid into the Treas ury at the rate of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars each day, which is twice as much as he needs to pay the in terest in the Gold. Bth. You can have either Coupons Bonds payable to the Beaivr, or Registered Bonds payable to vour order. nth. The former are in 50's luo's and iOOO's—the letter in same amounts, also ss.OOo's, and slo,i)oo's. If). No 1 You will not have to pay any taxes on these bonds il your income from them does noi exceed s6oo.and on all above S6OO you will only have to pay one-hait as much Income Tax, as if your money was invested in Mortgages or other Securities. I consider the Govern ment Bonds -AS first of all— all other Bonds are taxed one quarter per cent to pay the interest on the Government Bonds, and the Supreme Court of the United States has just decided that no State, or City, or County can tax Governments Bonds. 11th. The present bounded debt of the United States sless than THREE HUNDRED MILLIONS, including the seven and th ree tenths Treasury Notes ; but the Gov ernment owes enough more in the shape of Legal lend ers Deposits in the Sub-Treasuries. Certificates ol in debtedness, Ac., to increase the debt to about eight ot nine hundred millions. Secretary CHASB has calculat ed that the debt may leach oiie thousand, seven Hun dred millions, if the rebellion lasts eighteen m .?, ? ger. It is, however, believed now that it will not last six months longer—but even if it does our National dent will he small compared with that of Great Bntian or France, while our resources are vastly greater. 12th. I have no doubt that the revenue will not only be ample to pay the ordinary expenses of the Govern ment and all interest on the debt, but leave at least one hundred millions annually toward paying on tne debt, and that the Government will be able to get out of debt again as it has twice before—in a lew years al ter the close of the war. 1 hope that all who have idle money will at once pur chafe these Five-Twenty Year Bonds. The right to de mand them for legal tenders will end on the first day ol July, 1863. THE LATEST WAR NEWS. Wo have New Orleaus Dews to the 23d inst., embracing particulars of the movements of Gen. Banks and Admiral Farrazut, and the loss of the Mississippi. In general facts, the statements do not differ materially from what we have already published. Gen. Banks moved up from Baton Rouge, not to attack but to threaten the rebels at Port Hudson, and make a diverson which would favor the passage of the fleet. He was successful in this, and immediately returned to Baton Rouge. His men were greatly disappointed at being ordered to return without having a fight. On the water the work was very ex citing ; tho Hartford first passed the batter ies unharmed, although the firing was terrific; the Richmond got a shot through her stfam chest, and had to float down stream, having three men killed and ten wounded—the vessel was ody partially disabled. Tho Mononoga hela was forced back wiih six killed and twen ty wounded. The Mississippi got aground, and after a desperate fight was set on fire and abandoned by her officers—loss about sixty five iu all ; the vessel was eutirely destroyed. Albatross passed the batteries sheltered un der the port side of the Hartford. Beside a smart cavalry skirmish at Berwick Bay, we find but little else of important consequeucc iu the news. Cincinnati dispatches say that tho rebel attempt to overrun Kentucky has proved to be a failure. Tho Rebels say there are 15, 000 Union troops in Savannah, Tent) , and that Grenada, Miss., is in Union possession It is reported that Humphrey Marshall, wiih a large force of Rebel infantry, is near Mount Sterling. It is again asserted that the Sunflower River expedition has proved successful, and that Gen. Sherman has landed a heavy force near Haines's B uff. There can be no doubt of tho scarcity of provisions among the rebels. The newspapers confess it, and the forcible seizure of flour and grain prove it. Governors and Congressmen are urging the people to raise corn and cattle instead of cotton, and one Legislature is called in special session to eGact laws against the cultivation of largo fields of the royal stap'e. In Mobile a rebel Commissary is begging for bacon at 50 cents a pound ; in Knoxviiie, Tenii., flour is $55 per barrel. Rumors of the probable evacuation of Rich moid by the rebels are current among the officers of Gen. Dix's command. The leading officers, however, do not put faith iu the stories. POPULARITY OF THE CONSCRIPTION' LAW AMONG THE SOI.DIRS. —The Conscription law is as popular among the soldiers as it appears to be unpaitable to the copperheads. A letter from a Brigadier Genera! in command at Mur- freesboro, says that its passage " electrified " General Rosecrans'army. General Hooker's men ere of one mind as to its value to the na tional cause. They declare themselves ready to see its enforcement in persou.if need bo. A let ter to Senator Wilson from a Brigadier Gen eral stationed at Baton Ilonge, says : Its passage and enforcement will certainly end this rebellion in a short space of time. The moral effect of such an act at this time can hardly be over-estimated. The people of the South already regard their cause as hopeless to a much greater extent than is imagined; already their conscripts desire nothing so much as to get to their homes—they fight with no heart or hope. What, then, will be their con nition when they see their fears realized, and that the loyal people of this country really mean to continue the war. BE ECONOMICAL —Despite the war and the excessive rates of exchange which compel a large advance in the price of all imported ma terials, gold is steadily flowing to Europe to pay for articles of luxury. The extravagant tastes of the nation do rot seem to be at all effected by the war ; indeed, a certain class of persons, the families of the contractors and those who have grown suddenly rich out of this war, are more lavish in their expenditures than our wealthy people. Diamonds,jewelry, costly silks, shawls, &e., are in greater demand than ever, and gold must move forward to pay for them. Really, sensible and patriotic peo ple will curtail their outlay as much as possi ble, and especially avoid indulgence in habits that must necessarily add to the burdens of the country, by draining us of the precious metals at a time when for the credit of the government we can ill afford to spare them. The physical and moral condition of General Hooker's army is reported to be splen did, and tbe spirits of the officers are conside rably raised at the fine state of discipline which the army has recently attained. It has been ascertained by deserters that the reb el army is suffering terribly from the want of supplies. They are reduced to a daily ration of half a pound of flour and a quarter of a pound of meat. Desertions from the army are frequent. A strong cold wind is blowing on the Rappahannock and the roads are rap idly drying np. Sgju. The rebels made another attack a few days ago on Wiufield, N. C., ou the Chcwau river. They were met by a small body of the North Carolina Voluuteers, under Lieutenant McClane, who defended themselves bravely in a blockhouse for an hour and a half, and drove the rebels off. General Foster came up from Plymouth with three companies, and four companies of the Eleventh Pennsylvania Cav alry were sent from Suffolk by General Peck. Colonel Brown succeeded in crossing the Clio wan river with a part of his force. The re mainder were attacked near Edentoo, and dis persed after a short resistance. Our troops are hunting the enemy up iu the swamps. fi-Sy Parson Brownlow, who has just arriv ed at Cincinnati from Tennessee, states, that the rebels are concentrating ail their infantry, who were formerly in East Tennessee, at Tal laboma; that reinforcements from Virginia are coming up, and that their cavalry are ma king a diversion into the eastern part of Ken tucky, with the intention of drawing out the forces of General Rosecrans. General Gill more crossed the Kentucky River in force on Saturday, captured Danville, and is driving the rebels in the direction of Crab Orchard. GST A dispatch was received by Secretary Welles on Monday from Admiral Farragnf, dated below Warrenton, Miss , March 19, in which he say 3 that when about 10 miles above Grand Gulf he saw the wreck of the Inianola lon the right bank of the river. She was par j tially submerged and her upper works were very much shattered by the explosion. A depatch from Fortress Monroe states that the rebels, with a force of infant ry and cavalry, on Sunday morning, attacked Williamsburg and were repulsed by the Fifth Pa Cavalry, under Col. Lewis. The loss is not reported. It was stated by an officer who came into Norfolk on Saturday from the reh el army, that the troops arc evacuating Rich mond as rapidly and q liekly as they can; but not much credit is attached to the report. With regard to matters in the West, we learn that two divisions of rebel infantry crossed the Cu nherland on Friday, at Stagg's Ferry, near Wailsbnrg, Pulaski county.— Frankfort and Lexington have been placed under martial law. PAYING OFF THE TROOPS —There are thou { sand of our renders, who wiil be glad to learn ! that the Treasury Department is now putting ! abont $4,000,009 a day into the hands of the Paymasters of the Army. Efforts will be made to furnish the money as fast as the pay masters are ready for it, until every soldier is paid up to March I. This will do more to nerve the arms of the soldiers than even a | victory SHtocrtteewents.
