Ordered to the Front.
Company ),21stPenna. Cavalry, which
has been stationed at this place since last
JalJ, and engaged doing Provost duty
throughout the district, received orders,
on Monday last, to repair to the front.-
They leave to-day. Both officers and

our citizens.
Pruit Trees.
There were over three thousand dollars
worth of Fruit Trees sold in Monroe
county b the Agents of the Nurseries du
ring the vcar 1SGL There arc now sev
eral Agents in the county taking orders
for Spring delivery. The orders already
boohed amount to nearly one thousand
dollars. As the selection's made are from
trees producing the best quality of fruit,
Monroe county will, in a few years, take
a position among the best fruit growing
counties of the State.
Passing Away.
The snow which at the close of the
last week Jay some thirty inches aeep on
the level, in this neighborhood, is slowly
passing away before the spring-like weath
or which has prevailed since Saturday.
It will be sometime, however, ere the
green grass springing through the with
t Ml i.l - -r.
creu sous win greet tne eye. it is said
that in some places in the Beach the
snow was four foot deep. As our citi
zens have enjoyed uninterrupted sleigh
ing for some eight weeks, we do not sup
pose that any one would feel inclined to
grumble even should a very curly Spring
overtake us.
The 7-30 Loan.
The Secretary of the Treasury, a cou
pic of weeks ago, appointed Jay Cooke, o
iruiiaaeipuia. jrenerai subscription aent
for the sale of the 7-30 loan. This is the
only Government loan now in market, and
the uiauner in which it is taken up, un
der Mr. Cooke's auspices, shows conclu
Eively the wisdom displayed in the selec
tion of ageut. Mr. C. had the sale of the
5-20 sis per cent, loan and soon found
purchasers for all the Government had to
spare. The rapidity with which the 7
30's are now being taken up will soon
leave none on hand to be subscribed for.
"Vc would, therefore, urge on our capi
talists, and all others who have money to
invest, the necessity of prompt action if
they wish to secure a share of this desira
blc loan. That our readers may judge of
the demand for it we would say that in
the space of one iniuutc, recently, orders
from different quarters were received by
Mr. Cooke, for over $1,000,000 of the
Loan. The sale of 7-30s on Monday last
amounted to $4,120,850 including one
subscription of 1,000,000 from JSTew
York, due of 61(j2,000 from Chicago, and
2,881 single subscriptions. At this rate
the loan, which is limited must soon be
exhausted. The advertisement, in anoth
er otiluiuiij will give full particulars. i
The War.
The War for the Union is just now pro
gressing as rapidly and as favorably as the
most loyal heart could wish. Grant yet holds
Lee to his fastnesses at Richmond, only inter
rupting the monotony of the quiet by an oc
casional dash at some point, where he can
remind Lee that he has his eye on him.
Hood remains where he can do no damage,
in the South West, closely watched by the
army which handled, him so roughly at Nash
ville. In fact the main armies of the Con
federacy appear to be held in dead-lock, to
be pounced upon and destroyed as soon as
they venture out in the face of day.
The official announcements from the War
Department inform us that while Grant and
.Thomas arc apparently inactive, Shcrmant
and oilier of the Union commanders are busy
as nailers. Rested from the fatigue of his
march from Atlanta to Savannah, Sherman
took up a new line of march, and has alrea
dy hopelessly destroyed the railroads upon
which the Confederacy depend in a meas
ure for supplies, captured Columbia, the cap
ital of South Carolina, and tore open the way
for a Union army to march to the occupancy
of Charleston. lie is yet on his march,
and as he seems to have a likinjr for rebel
capitals, it is' surmised that Raleigh, N. C
will be his next stopping" place.
In his march Sherman is following closely
on the heels of Burcaugard, but the latter
travels so fast as to make it an impossibility
for the former to come within fighting dis
tance of him. He was to Jiave been the
lion in Sherman's path to have administer
ed a fatal check and then to have annihila
ted Sherman, ere he crossed the threshhold
of South Carolina, that pest-house of treason.
But whatever may have been his intentions,
Burcaugard's only object now seems to be to
get out of Sherman's way and to keep out
of it. With quite a considerable army at
his command, and with all the choice of po
sition in his favor, he fears to front the man
who has dared to break the shell of treason
and show to the world its weakness.
Everything now combines to fix it as a fact
that the last ditch in which the last rebel is
to die is nearly found, and that it needs but
one grand and united effort more to settle
treason forever.
Since the above was written we have re
ceived the gratifying intelligence that the
stars and.stripes float over Fort Sumter on-je
more, and that Charleston, with its defences.
is in possession of our troops. The rebels
evacuated the city on the 17th. Before lea
ving they burned some G,000 bales of cotton
and set fire to the city, three-fourths of which
it is supposed, will be destroyed. An ex
plosion also took place at the Wilmington
Depot, by which a large number of the citi
zens were killed. The lesser trophies of the
victory are two hundred guns, in good condi
tion, and a large quantily of ammunition.
The greater trophies are Charleston itsel
and Fort Sumter.
It is rumored that Wilmington. N. C, has
also fallen into our possession. .
.O' ;
Cotter Ahoy.
We have been feeling somc-what bad
ly for a couple of weeks, without exactly
knowing the reason why. We had been
dump)', w'ere getting dumpier, and prom
ised soon to become dumpiest, when an
exclamation of our "Imp's" brought to
us a knowledge both of the. cause and its
effect. "What," says Impy, "has become
of the Milford Herald. Havn't seen a
.copy of it for two weeks !" Aye, that
was it. We hadn't seen a conv of it cith-
er, in all 'that time, and consenuentlv
were compelled to forego our usual indul
gence in the 'laugh and grow fat aliment'
which the Herald alwaj's furnished us.
Come now, Cotter, don't get "stuffy" in
your old days. Send on the Herald, like
a' good boy, that we may, as usual, draw
our "feast of reason and flow of soal" from
your excruciatingly funny lucubrations.
Don't, for goodness sake, cut us off Cotter.
Remember, we have told you before that
we cannot live without the Herald.

Pacts About the 7-30s The Advantages
they oner.
Their Absolute Security. Nearly
all active credits aronow based on Gov
ernment securities, and banks' hold them
as the very best and strongest investment
they can make. If it were possible to
contemplate the financial fiiilure of the
Government, no bank would be any safer.
If money is loaned ou individual notes or
bond and mortgage, it will be payable in
the same currency as the Government
pays with, and no better. The Gov
ernment never has failed to, meet its en
gagements, and the national debt is a first
mortgage upon the whole property of the
country. While other stocks fluctuate
from tcu to fift', or even a greater per
cent, Government stocks are always com
paratively firm. Their value is fixed and
reliable, beyond all other securities ; for
while a thousand speculative bubbles rise
and burst, as a rule they are uever below
par, and are often above.
Its Liberal Interest. The general
rate of interest is six per cent'., payable
annually. This is seven and three-tenths
payable semi-annually. If 'Ou lend on
mortgage, there must be a searching of
titles, lawyers' fees, stamp duties and do
lays, and you will finally have returned to
you only tne same icxna or money you
would receive from the Government, and
less of it. If you invest in this loan, you
have uo trouble. Auy bank or bauker
will obtain it for you without charge To
each note or bond are affixed five "cou
pons" or interest tic7;cts due at the oxpi
ration of each successive half-year. The
holder of a note has simply to cut off one
of these coupons, present it to the near
est bank or Government" Agency, and re
ceivc his interest; the note itself need not
be presented at all. Or a coupon thus
payable will everywhere be equivalent
when due, to money. If you wish to bor
row ninety cents on the dollar upon the
notes, 3'ou have the highest security in
the market to do it with. If you wish to
sell, it will bring within a fraction of cost
and interest at any moment. It will be
very handy to have iu the house.
It is convertible into a six per cen
gold-bearing bond. At the expiration o
three years a holder of the notes of tin
7-80 Loan has the option of accepting
payment in full or of funding his notes in
a six per cent, gold-interest bond, the
principle payable in not less than five nov
more tiian twenty years irom its date, as
the Government may elect. These bonds
are held at such a premium as to make
this privilege now worth two or three per
cent, per annum, and adds so much to the
interest. .-Notes of the same class, issued
three years ago, arc now selling at a rate
that fully proves the correctness of this
statement.
Its Exemption from State or Mu
xicipal Taxation. But aside from all
the advantages wc have enumerated, a
special Act of Congress exempts all bonds
and Ircasury notes Jrom local taxation.
On the average this exemption is worth
about two per cent, per annum, according
to the rate of taxation in various parts of
the country.
It is a National Savings Bask.
While this loan presents great advantages
to large capitalists, it offers special in
ducements to those who wish to make a
safe and profitable investment of small
savings. It is in every way the best
Savings' Bank ; for every institution of
this kind must somehow invest its de
posits profitably in order to pay interest
and expenses. I hey will invest largely
in this loan, as the best investment. But
from the gross interest which they re
ceive, they must deduct largely for the
expenses of the Bank. Their usual rate
of interest allowed to depositors is 5 per
cent, upon sums over 8500. The person
who invests directly with Government
will receive almost 50 per cent. more.
Thus the man who deposits 81000 in a
private Savings' Bank receives 50 dollars
a year interest ; if he deposits the same
sum in this National Savings' Bank he
receives 73 dollars. For those who wish
to find a safe, convenient, and profitable
means of investing the surplus earnings
which they have reserved for their old
age or for the benefit of their nhilrlron
there is nothing which nresmits so mnnv
.luvuiiiagus as mis JKhtional Loan.

This Company owns in fee simple seven'
ty-scven and three-tenths acres on the East
side of the Allegheny River, in Rockland'
township, Venango County, Pennsylvania.
It is situated five miles below the town oil
Franklin, opposite the mouth of the WosS
Sandy Creek, and has a frontage of 110 rods
on the river. It is but a short distance be
low the celebrated Hoover well which iV
yielding 200 barrels of oil daily. Other
yielding wells surround it in every direction,,
and within the past few weeks two new
wells have been struck in -the irnmediate
neighborhood, one of which is producinc dai
ly 'SO barrols of heavy lubricating oih worth
at the well 830 per barrel.
A fine vien of Bituminous coaj, easily ac
cessible, is on part of the land, and in view
of the enormously high price of coal in that
region, is an important consideration, and
will enable the company not only to supply
its own wants in that respect, but to derire
an income from its sals to others.

of good and prospcrouHjiomnanics. all in siir-
cessfui operation, amrTT is believed that no-
one company has started out with better
prospects for paying large and regular month
ly dividends.
This Company intend developing their land
without the least delay, and for this purpose
have arranged for the necessary engines,
tools, tubing, &c, all of which will be put
upon the ground and in operation as soon as
the season will permit.
In addition to their own wells.Uhe Com-
- W a,so propose lo lease to responsiWc par-
tics portions of their land divided into lots of
10 square rods each, at a rent of one half
the oil, the Company lo be at no expense
xohatcver. They will have at least fifty
such lots to lease, all these lots can be leased
at once if deemed expedient, with covenants
binding lessees to sink wells with all possi
ble despatch to the depth of five hundred or
more feet. Estimating, only one well to
each lot, fifty wells, at the very moderate
nvprnfrn tP mi JwrrpJv rrrIi 'rrui1l mnln
daiy product of 5()0 barrgj of
Company's share would be 250 barrels,
Value of daily yield to the Company at
830 per G:s.rreJ, 7,500.
Allowing 250 working days to the year, the
irum leases
alone would be 81,875,00(1
Thc Company also intend sinking on their
own account, at least five wells. Should
they be successful with only owe, it would
produce, estimating as above, a yearly in
come ot 75,000
From which deduct for expenses
(a large estimate) 15,000
And.it leaves an annual net income of 00,000
To which add income from Innsps 1 ft7r, ()le

Making a yearly income of 81,935,000?
This is thought by those who are acquaint
ed with this locality, to be a moderate esti
mate, and vet it is easy to sec that even thi
amount of success would make the propcrty
of the Company in value, almost surpass be
