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.

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.

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. Why are they called " Five Twenties 1" 2nd.
Bo you talic country or only Legal Tender
Notes or wiil a check on Philadelphia or New York an
swer fur Subscriptions ? 3d. I) i you sell the Bonds at
I'ar 4'h. As I cannot come to Philadelphia how am
ito get the Bonds ? sth. What interest do they pay,
and how nyd where and when is it paid, and is it paid
in Gold cr Leg' 1 ! Tenders? titb- How does Secretary
CHASE get enough Gold to pay this Interest ? 7th. Will
the lace ol the Bonds be paid in Gold when due ? Bth.
Cau qbave the Bonds payable to Bearer with Coupons,
or registered and payable to my order V 9th. What size
are the Bonds ? 10t"h. Will 1 have to pay the same tax
on them as 1 now pay on my Railroad, or other Bonds ?
llih. What is ilie present debt of the Government,
and what amount is it likely to reach if the Rebellion

ry CIIASE get enough from Custom House duties and
Internal Revenue, income taxes, &c., .tc-, to make it
certain that lie can pay the interest punctually ? 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
