FROM POINT LOOKOUT.
[Correspondence of the Baltimore American.]
Pony' , LOOKOUT, April 17, 1.9.61.—50 me two
hundred more rebels have taken the oath and have
been released since my lastcommunication.l They
Dave petitioned time and again to be released, and
until lately without avail, but when the President
published his statement explaining the late Pro
clamation, they at. once saw that prisoners were
not included in that document, and that it would
be necessary to proceed, in some other way. They
then through their friends forward a on to
Gen. Butler, stating plainly their grievances, d
asking him to intercede for them. The petitions
were received with attention by the General, and
be with his usual kind feelings at once released
them, and they are now on their way home to
their families. .
The 6th United States Colored Volunteer Regi
ment, arrived on last Saturday night. It is a
well-drilled regiment.
Our new quartermaster has already commenced
the improvements designed by General Rinks.
New roads are made, grounds cleaned, bridges
corstructed, buildings moved, the grove ditched
and policed, and in fact a complete change has
come over this once dirty place. The prisoners
and plunder. captured in the late expedition to
Virginia were forwarded to Fortress Monroe.
Captain W. C. Crafts has been appointed Assistant
Provost Marshal, in. charge of prisoners' camp,
in place of Captain Sides, who is ordered to report
to his regiment.

EL S. 10-40 BONDS.
These Bonds are issued tinder the Act of Con
gress of March Bth, 1864, which provides that in
lien of so ranch of the loan authorized by the Act
of March 3d, 1863, to which this is supplementary,
the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to bor.
row from time to time, on the credit of the United
States, not exceeding TWO HUNDRED MIL
LION DOLLARS during the current fiscal year,
and to prepare and issue therefor Coupon and Re.
gistered Bonds of the United States; and all Bonds
issued under this Act shall be F.X . PRIPT FROM
TAXATION by or tinder any State or municipal
authority. Subscriptions to these Bonds are re
ceived in United States notes or notes of National
Banks. Theyare TO BE REDEEMED IN CO/14
at the pleasure of the Government, at any period
not Zees than ten nor mere than forty years from their
date, and until their redemption FIVE PER
CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN,
on Bonds of not over one hundred dollars annually,
and on all other Bonds semi-annually.
The interest is payable on the first days of Marc
and September in each year. The semi-annual
Coupons are payable at those dates, and the annual
Coupons on the 50 and.lo6 dollar Bonds are pays.
ble on the first of March. .
Subscribers will receive either Registered or
Coupon Beads, as they may prefer. Registered
Bonds are recorded on the books of the 11. S.
Treasurer, and can be transferred only on the
owner's order. Coupon Bonds are payable to
bearer, and are more convenient for „commercia
Registered Bonds will be issued of the denomi
nations of Fifty Dollars ($5O), One Hundred Dol
lars ($100), Five Hundred Dollars ($500), One
Thousand Dollars ($1,000), Five Thousand Dol
lars ($5,000), and Ten thousand Dollars ($10,000);
and Coupon Bonds to the denominations of Fifty
Dollars ($5O), One Hundred Dollars ($100), Five
Hundred Dollars ($500), and One Thousand Dol
lars ($1,000). •
Subscribers to this loan will have the Option of
having their Bonds draw interestirom Minch Ist
by paying the accrued interest in coin—(or in
'United States notes, or the notes of Nations.
Banks, adding fifty per cent. for premium,) or
receive them drawing interest from 'the date of
subscription and deposit.
As these Bonds are exempt from municipal or
State taxation, their value is increased from one
to three per cent. per annum, according to the rate
of tax levied in various parts of the country.
At the present rate of premium on gold they pay
over eight per cent interest. in currency, and are
cf equal convenience as a permanent or temporary
Lnyestment.
It is believed that no securities offer so great in
ducements to lenders as the various descriptions
of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of indebted
ness, the faith or tummy or private parties or stock
companies or separate communities only is pledged
for payment, while for the debts of the United
States the whole property of the country is holden
to secure the payment of both principal and in
terest in coin.
TheEe Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from
S5O up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and
are thus made equally available to the smallest
let der and the largest capitalist - They can be con
verted into money at any moment, and the holder
will have the benefit of the interest.
The fact that all duties on imports are payable
in specie furnishes a fund for like payment of in
terest on ail Government Bonds largely in excess
of the wants of the treasury for this purpose.
Upon the receipt of subscriptionsa certificate of
deposit therefor, in duplicate, will be issued, the
original of which will be forwarded by the sub
scriber to the Secretary of the Treasury, at Wash
ington, with a letter stating the kind (registered or
coupon) and the denominations of bonds required.
Upon the receipt of the original certificates at
the Treasury Department, the bonds subscribed
for will be transmitted to the subscribers 'respec
tively.
Subscriptions 'win be received by the Treasurer
of the United States at Wwhingtori, and the Astrid
an t Treasurers at lquladelphia, New York, Boston,
