a cart-load of pills of different makes, but the re

severe suffering from Piles. If I stopped taking
these pills one week, the old difficulty would
wouble me. lat last struck a vein of gold, in Rad.

all other pills, that I hoped for a cure-tsix boxes

EVENING BULLETIN
THURSDAY, APRIL 28; 1864
PRESIDENT LINCOLN
,
It seems scarcely necessary to say or
print anything to increase the confidence of
the American people in the man whom they
hate plaged.at the head of their Govern
ment. Every day brings new proof.that he
possesses that confidence fully. Here in
Pennsylvania we see the county and district
conventions, all over the State, instructing
their delegates to the ;Union State and Na
tional Conventions to vote for his re-nomi
-nation. The State Convention meets to-day
at 'Harrisburg; and, so far as can be judged
from the action of the local conventions,
there will be httle or no' opposition to Mr.
Lincoln.
The admirable letter of the President to
Ire,
Col. Hodges, o 'ntiicky, on the slavery
question, whi h we published yesterday,
must have bee read with pride and pleasure
by, all his Ili ds. In his own peculiar,
terse language, he defines his position with
perfect clearness. The candor with which
his views are stated, and the simple narra
tion of the phases through which his mind
" plssed, before, as the sworn President of
the - United States, he decided in favor of
emancipating the slaves and employing ne
groes as soldiers, are new proofs of his per
fect honesty. This letter is timely, and its
appearance must satisfy the people anew
that they can make no mistake in re-electing
Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency.
THE HUMANITARIAN ASPECTS OF THE
WAR.
It is a relief to turn from the horrible
details of Southern butcheries; Southern
'hunting ,down of conscripts, with blood
hounds; Southern persecutions of Union men
and their families, and from the general ruin
and desolation that -the madness of
Secession has wrought- in Southern
homes, to the great humanitarian aspect
of the war as developed in the loyal
States. Our own city is by no means an ex
ception to the general rule; but a review of
what Philadelphia alone has accomplished
in the way of patriotic humanity, during
the three years which have elapsed since
domestic traitors degraded the old flag at
Fort Sumter, is a. source of honest pride to.
every lover of the city founded by the be
nevolent Friends. These good works com
menced in the very -first week of the war.
During those few anxious days our City
Councils appropriated a noble sum of
money for the purpose of supporting the
families of those who had taken the field;
private hospitality and liberality or
ganized the Volunteer Refreshinent Saloons;
men, women and children vied with each
other in preparing not only for the-wants of
the soldiers in the field, but in providing
luxuries for them; and when. the returning
tide brought to Our doors the sick and the
' maimed who had suffered in the cause of
Their country, the .fireman came forward
with his original and characteristic ambu
lance syste:in, and gentle women were to be
found willing to act as nurses in the hospi
tals and supply coveted luxuries to the suf
fering soldiers. From The supplying of a
glass of iced lemonade to the;feverish new
comer on the hospital boat, to the munici-
pal voting of millions of dollars foi the sup
port of soldiers' families; from the scraping
of a handful of lint, to the individual con
tributing of thousands to the great cause of
himanity; from the getting up, of a child's
penny fair in aid of the cause, to the feeding
of a dozen regiments a day—nothing haS
been omitted since the breaking out,
of the rebellion, and neither as a commu
nity,. acting through our constituted au
thorities, nor as individuals, have we ever
"wearied of well doing," for the work is go
ing forward with as much spirit to-day as it
was when the bloody victims of Bull Run
inade us first realize the grim horrors of war.
But one of the noblest and greatest of all
our willing sacrifices is yet to - come. The
Sanitary Fair, will prove one of the most
gigantic schemes of practical humanity the
city has ever carried out. It is already
looming up in magnificent proportions, and
the vast buildings it is to occupy at Logan
Square typify the hugeness of the benevo
lent project. Corporations,• films, and in
dividual men, women and children, are busy
in the great work ; and in the church, the
lecture-room, the theatre, the concert hall,
the engine house, the office, the parlor, the
kitchen, the workshop, the city railway
car—everywhere, in fact, where good,
loyal and humane people are to be found—
the great work is in progress, and hundreds
of thousands of shrewd heads are planning,
and cunning hands are executing what will
best accomplish what the benevolent and
patriotic hearts of the people have prompted.
We are satisfied that the rebellious South
shall enjoy a mono - poly of treachery, cruelty
and barbarism; and while we would not for
one moment flag in patriotic devotion to the
honor of the country, or in a brave deter
mination to maintain- the cause we have
embarked in, we would set our savage foes
an example of that practical humanity
which never, , doles out its bounties or huck
sters its chaAties, but " gives by the heart
full" when a great and good object- is to be
accomplished.
IMPORTAPT INDIAN EXPEDITION.
No stronger evidence of the immense
resources of our government could be
elicited, than the fact that while huge
armies are preparing in the South and
Southwest for an active campaign against
the traitors, another large force is being
rapidily organized in the far West, having
for its object the subjugation or extermina
tion of the Sioux Indians. When the
organization is fully completed, it will con
stitute the most extensive force ever yet
created having for its special duty the
conquest of Indian tribes. Three thousand
mounted men,with the necessary amount of
artillery, and accompanied by such repre
sentatives of the friendly tribes as can be
secured, will constitute the expedition, and
before the advent of the autumnal months
it is confidently believed that every hostile
savage will have been driven from the terri
tory of the Missouri river, leaving the fertile
valleys of that extensive section of the
Union free from danger to its settlers, and
ensuring safety to the thousands of emi
grants who,_ attracted by its agricultural
and mineral productiveness, may flock thi
then The commander of the expedition
will be Brigadier-General Alfred Sully, a
gallant Pennsylvania officer, and the son of
the 'venerable Thomas Sully, one -of
the most distinguished of American painters,
and for the complete success of such a mam
moth and important enterprise, no better
leader_could have been selected by the Go
vernment. While, therefore, we may await
with every expectation of success the per
fection of the plans of General. Grant in his
determined efforts to conquer the armed
traitors, in whatever section of our land
they may oppose his veterans, we may also
anticipate cheering' tidings from Sully and
his mounted host in the inhospitable terri
tories west of the Missouri.

MILLION
FIVE . PER CENT.
LOAN.
This loan is limited to two hundred millions, and
is being raiiid;y subscribed for by the people. A
modera'e portion of this amount has been taken for
Europe, and any reasonable portion of the remain
ing amount that the. Secretary of-the Treasury
might be willing to designate. could be placed on
the other side, with or without making the interest
Flyable in London instead of PieviYork, onbighly
advantageous terms, thus giving the command of
a Urge amount of sterling exchange (10 per cent.
better than gold, as rates are calculated here, )
through the Summer months. He has never yet
entertained such propositions for his popular
loans. His preference is that our own peopig
should have the entire advantage of the gold in
terest which they bear, or else the premium on
their Bonds, such as can now be had oaths 5 l0•B
when bought for Europe. The present ohject,
therefore, is pepiziar diltribution at home, at par, on
five per cent. gold interest, eqrial to 7)6 or 8 per
cent. in currency with gold at 1508..60 per cent.
The act of Congress specially provides that the
principal of these Bonds shall be paid in gold. Xf
paid off after ten years with the- economical view
of re-borrowing at three or four per cent. interest
—for, after the war of 1812, this Governinent bor
rowed money in Europe at three per cent. —the
payment will be made in gold.
_ .
On this and all other futded stocks of the 'United
States, there is a speeiße pledge of the Customs
Revenue in gold, for the continued payment of the
interest in gold. •
The customs and duties, thus pledged for the
payment of the interest and gradual 'extinction of
the arincipal—through annual purchases for the
sinking fund—of he funded public debt of the
United 1 tates, constitute a system of indirect taxa
tion, to which the people are and always have been
accustomed. It falls upon the people only in pro
portion to their ability or inclination to consume
foreign wares and merchandise, upon which these
.duties are levied. As they elect to forego the use
of foreign luxuries, so they lighten their own bur
den of- the public debt, even while investing their
means in it at rates and en a security superior to -
any other stock, for uniform and assured income
(free of local lamer), in the whole country.
The last fiscal year, to Jane 30, 1163, this source'
of revenuaamounted to 269,059,642. The gold in
terest on the public debt then amounted to only
824,729,646, and the principal of the eld loan of
1642, 83, !?..50, COO, was paid off in gold, in addition.
The present fiscal year, ending on the 30th June,
1864, Will snow at least4o per cent. increase in gold
customs, say 696, 6i3,398, on a gross importation
of less than 20 per cent. increase over twit year.'
The gold interest on the presentfonded and funda
ble debt, for the current fiscal year, .will not ex
ceed 847,735,650, Jeanine a surplus of nearly fifty
millions in geld from -customs over- the specific
Icharge for interest on them; part of which surplus
the Secretary Lau readily disposed of at 165 per
cent. for green-backs, the principal as well an .
premium of which will go to the benefit of the'
, Sinking Fund,and to the reduction of the currency
interest on the unfunded or temporary deb:, such
1 as one year certificates of indebtedness, certificates
I of deposit, &c. . ..
That this statement may not .seem overdrawn,
we annex a schedule of the funded debt and 7-30
per cent treasury notes, soon to pass into fended
debt by voluntary conversion, on which gold.
interest is row being paid: •
