CO" We learn that active preparations are
going on to re-build the two Lumber -Mills
ut Naglesville, which were consumed by
fire a few weeks since. We understand that
instead of two mills, they will erect one very
large mill, which they hope to have in oper
ulion by about December next.
0?TIie ground between Messrs. Wal
lace and Staples' is being cleared of the va
rious old buildings, &c, on the same, pre
paratory to putting up the Stroudsburg Mills.
The building will be erected as soon as pos
sible. 0t7By reference to another column it will
be seen that the Government advertises thai
it will sell 100 Mules, at Philadclpia, on
each Wednesday and Saturday throughout
tic month of August.
The Government sells these mules not be
cause they are run down, hut because the
ar being over, it has not further use for
thorn. Here is an excellent opportunity for
thoe who desire to purchase mules, to get
them at rcasenablc figures.
Surveyor General.
The Republican papers in the Western
pait of the State are urging the nomina
ti iii of Win. II. Markle, Esq., of West
r.irl.ud count, for Surveyor General.
Mr. Markle is a uephew of the old Gen
eral, is a lawyer by profession, and in c
very rcspcet well qualified for the posi
tion for which he is named. If nomina
te! by the Republican State Convention,
he will be elected.

The Democratic journals continue to

Jay Cooke, Subscription Agent.
Mr.'Jay Gooke, an enterprising and suc
cessful Philadelphia banker, hasalways been
lic securities. Four years ago, when Penn
sylvania State stocks were down to 85, he
worked and brought them up to par, and at
the rate he obtained three million dollars
for the State, for raising and equip
ping her troops. When the Secretary of-the
Treasury gave various bankers throughout
the country commissions to negotiate his
first loans, Mr. Cooke was always, among
the most successful. He infused a portion
of his own great energy into his sub-agents,
and seemed to best understand how to pre
sent the claims of the Government to the
people. When the 5.20 loan was author
ized, it was before the public many months
without attracting any attention, and the to
tal sales by the Government were only eigh
teen millions. The war expenses were so
vast that banks and bankers were no longer
able to supply money in sufficient amounts,
and the Secretary of the Treasury was com
pelled to adopt some plan for appealing di
rectly to the people to supply the means for
sustaining the Government Popular loans
had never been tried, and their nature not
generally underslood. Capital is always
sensitive, and capitalists, large and small
were not only told that there was a 5J20
loan on the market, but were convinced tliat
it was the best n's well as the most patriotic
investment. Mr. Cooke's high character
and previous successes induced the Secreta
ry to appoint him General Subscription A
gent. The press and the telegraph were
immediately put in motion. A large sum
w.s spent in advertising, the distribution of
a great variety of circulars and handbills,
&c, the employment of travelers, and in es
tablishing sub-agencies .throughout the loyal
States. It has always been Mr. Cooke's
policy to have our loans taken at home, and
he has never solicited subscriptions abroad,
believing that our own people should have
the advantage of the interest. The result
of Mr. Cooke's efforts for the 5.20s is well
known. Under his agency, dating abou
Feb. 1st, lfcGii, and closing Jan. 22, 1SG4,
the loan was sold up to 514,780,500.
As great success always occasions jeal
ous complaints of favoritism towards Mr.
Cooke were made against the Treasury De
partment, which a special report to Congress
proved to be without the slightest foundation.
About this time the National Banking
System was established, and it was a pirt
of the plan that the National Banks should
be the financial agents of the Government.
vliile publicly expressing the warmest
gratitude to Mr. Cooke for his past great
and successful efforts, the Secretary of the
1 reasury determined to try the experiment
of placing the J 0 40 loan through their a-
gency. In four months but eighty millions
were sold. On July 25th, lrG-l, the First
Series of -30s was offered through the same
channel, but, up to Feb. 1st, 1S05, a period
of six months, the sales and payments to sol
diers amounted to only about one hundred
and twenty millions. This rate of subscrip
tion not being sufficient to meet the public
wants, it was determined to return to the a-
gency of Mr. Cooke, under whose manage
ment the sales bgun to show an
increas
within the first week, and in less than tw
weeks averaged two millions a dav. Du
ring the first thirty daj-s they reached one
hundred millions an average of about four
millions for each working day. The first
series was exhaiited on the 30th of March
when the sale of the Second Series of three
hundred million was begun. This series
was all sold on the 15th of May, deducting
Sundays, and holidays, in the wondei fully
short space of thirty-six days makincr an
average of eight and onc-thirQ millions per
day. l he sale ol the Third Series then com
menced, but, owing to the fact that the
Ireasurer was unable to deliver the notes,
comparatively little effort was made to in
fluence subscriptions until June- 1st. when
deliveries were advertised to beffin.
Uie sales ol Government loans, under Mr.
Cooke's management as General Subscription
.-igeni, nave been about thus :

J&iUctI:
The Horrible Crime Premeditated.
Wno The Murderer ,1s..
The following account of ;the murder
at Bedford, Pa., noticed recently in 'our
telegraphic columns, is given in the In
auircr. of that place:
John P. Reed, Sr., an old" citizen .of
this borough, and formerly prothonolary
of this county, are charged with the com
mission of this heinous crime. Johu-P.
Reed, Jr., directly after the breaking out
of the Rebellion, visited Canada and
studied law in the office of a Canadian
barrister. While there he .was drafted.
The general impressiou among all classes
iu this community was- that he had gone
to. Canada to avoid the military service of
the, United States. , .
Immediately after President Lincoln
issued his proclamation giving delm
quents until a certain date to report, his
friends got permission to pay commuta-
tion for him, and in a short time there-
aftcr he returned to this place. Mongol
Reed, in the latter part of Juno,l$G3, in
company with Bnnton Lyon, went to Me- the u cowlick " on a boy's head, look

Tuesday morning. He hated with, all
the. intense ardor of his. soul tboso foul

Gen. Grant's War Horse.

stud, but is particularly so of his war
chariicr. To the few friends to whom he
unbends he takes great delight in exhib

turned upon horses. "Perhaps," said
the General, " You would like to see the
horse that I have ridden during all the
inmfinicrns that I have commanded." The
Q-eneral ordered his horse to be brought
