The Ninth National Bank of the City of
New York
Joseph U. Orvis, President has been
one of the most enterprising and success
ful nironts for the various Government
loans. Over fifty million dollars have
been placed in the hands of people through
its agency within nine months, and it now
advertises to furnish the 7-30 Notes by
express, free of charge, in all parts of the
country. Its object is patriotic, and the
high reputation of its officers, as well as
its capital of a million dollars, is a sure
guarantee that the 7-30s subscribed for
through its agency will be promptly for
warded.
.
The 7-30 Loan.
The subscriptions to the 7-30 loan, on
Saturday last, amounted to 9,500,000
for the week ending on that day they
reached the sum of $27,000,000, and since
hp let, nf Fcbruarv. SCS.000,000. At
j j
this rate it will not be long ere the loan
is exhausted. Beadcr, if you have money
to invest now is the time. A delay of
few weeks, or even days, may compel you
to pay the brokers a handsome bonus for
that which you can now secure at par.
We learn that less than S170,000,000 of
the 7-30's yet remain to be disposed of.
Oil Wells may run out, Banks and Rail
roads may break, but so long as water
run3 Government loans, which are in real
ity mortgages on the nation's wealth, can
not but prove secure and prompt-paying
investments.
Internal Eevenue
The Commissioner of Internal Eevenue
lias instructed Assessors, that under Sec.
80, of Excise Law, they are required to
reassess all persons,' firms and corpora
tions, assessed for Licenses, where under
the Act of June 30th 1SG4, the rate has
been or is liable to be increased, or where
any existing license has been under-stated
or underestimated.
The re-assessment will be pro-rata ten
twelfths of the rate of amount fixed for
such new rate.
Also, That under Sec. 79, lawyers, con
veyancers, claim agents; physicians, sur
geons, dentists, cattle brokers, horse deal
ers, and pedlars, under the new Law,
tho' associated together in business, must
take license individually and can not be
licensed as a firm.
Where persons belonging to either
class have taken license as a firm, such
license, with the approval of the collec
tor, may be transferred to a member of
the firm and the other must take a new
license.

"Far-fetched and dear-bought," is not
always proof of value. The medical world
is becoming alive to the fact that our
common Dock Boot of the fields, is an
important remedial aujeut, and one of the
most effectual alteratives known. It has
always been a favorite medicine with the
wise mothers of the country, for ulcers
and sores and for purifying the blood.
This root which grows so abundantly a
round us everywhere, is now known to
be one of the ingredients of Ayrc s bar
saparilla, which is attracting public at
tention by its extraordinary cures of cu
taneous aud ulcerous diseases. Each
country produces the antidotes for its own
disorders, as was said of old "and upon
the banks thereof shall "row all trees for
meat, whose flower shall not fade, and
the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and
the leaf thereof for medicine." North

Think je, 'tis when will war cease,
And our land enjoy sweet peace ?
Will Old England brave the whip

Of "Might and Right," which still are ours?
Will wily Nap of hoodwinked France,
Against justice dare to hurl a lance 1
Will oil stock remain at par?
Or, will some freak of future mar
The graseful projects of tho many,
Counting largely, on the golden penny !

have respectfully to report, as follows :
The call for 300,000 men, made by the
President, on the 19th of December, 1SG4,
requires that that number shall be-raised
But the law requires that the number of
men previously furnished by different locali
ties, and the periods of their service, shall be
considered so as to equalize the draft.
The number uf men liable to military duty
is to be determined by the enrollment lists.
The number of men which have been fur
nished by the various localities, and their
periods of service, were ascertained, and pre
vious accounts having been adjusted, the ex
cesses, were they existed, where carried for
ward under the last draft.
The amount of service furnished is dcter-

as follows :
Take the whole number of years of service
furnished by the districts of the United States
from the commencement of the rebellion
the tJlst ot JJecember, imi. From, thateurn
deduct the whole number of men furnished
from all the districts of the United States up
to that date. The remainder will be the ex
cess of service furnished by all the districts.
Multfply the call of December 10th, 1864,
by three, to have the number of years ot ser
vice upon that call, and to this add the-excess,
as ascertained above. Then, as the
number of men enrolled from the whole Uni
ted States up to the 31st of December 18G4,

is io me penouoi service, as above ascertain
ed, so is the number of men enrolled in a
given district, to the number of years of ser
vice it is required to furnish, including its
jro rata share oi the excess.

rrom uus sum ueuuet tne actual excess
the district furnished ; the remainder is the
number ot years of service which the district
is required to furnish under the call of De
cember 10, 18G4, which, divided by three
gives tho number of men required from the
district.
As this call is for 300,000 men, that num
ber cannot bo reduced by men going in for
a period longer than one year. Inequalities
produced by menacing in under this call for
longer periods than one year, must be equal
ized on future calls.
It will bc perceived that though the ag
gregate of the excess furnished is added to
the whole call, the excess of each district is
