A word more: The promised military display was a failure. The soldiers generally objected to it, and we do not blame them.

The Sheriff, being happlied by visions of;Petrolia, (the, modern Atlanta) graciously permitted us to ride without jew elry, and with a grave humor made reply to the often inquiry—*' Where are you taking that fellow " io the Penitentiary V* —as if he had not Jnsfc struck the gyves of business duress from our wrists and given .us a temporary reprieve from seldom remitting work; And so we'bowled along the'pike, fanned by a breeze which tempered the ardent summer heats, past yellowing fields of grain, and luxuriant com, and grass unparalleled, to Tioga, which place we made at half past ten.

The flow of inflammable gas from this well, now down about 500 feet, is copious and constant, and the indi cations of petroleum marked. Everything about the well Is in apple-pie order. .

The Postal Honey Order System. Mb. you .please-fi«d*so->pit»ei«=efce? Ayitrrtor for the following facts in regard to thls-sys tem for the information of your readers. The Money Order System is intended to promote public convenience and to insure safety in the trans fer through the mails of email sums of money'.' The mode by which safety is secured consists in leaving out of the order the name of the payee or party for whom the money is intended. In”’this respect a money-order differs from an ordinary check or draft. A notification, containing full particulars of the order is transmitted by the issuing Post Master to the Post Master at the.office where the order is to be paid.j— The latter is thus furnished before the order itself can be presented, with all the necessary information to detect fraud, if any should be attempted. Orders from any sum from one to thirty dollars can be obtained; but when any larger sum is to be sent, additional orders to make it up must be-obtained. The fees or charges for Money Orders are as fol lows; , * On Orders not exceeding slo,lo'cents. Over $lO and not exceeding $20,15 cents. Over $2O and up to $3O, 20 cents. ~ Four hundred and twenty money order offices have been established at convenient distances' through the United States, and more ' THIRD SERIES, $230,000,000- By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, the undersigned, the General Subscription Agent for the eaiVof United'S tates Securities, offers to- the public the third series of Treaemy Notes,bearing seven and three-tenths per cent, interest per annum, known as the ; 7-8 0 LOAN.

This is THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET Now offered by the Government, and its superior ad vantages make it the Oreat Popular Loan of,the People. Dess than $280,000,000 of the Loan authorised by the last Congress are now on the market. This amount, at the rate at which it is being absorbed, will all be subscribed for within two months, when the notes will undoubtedly command a premium, as has uni formly been the.case on closing the subscriptions to other Loans. In order (hat citizens of every town and section of the country may be afforded facilities for taking the loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Private Bankers thruaghouttbe country have generally agreed tor receive subscriptions at par,/ Subscribers will-se lect their own agents, in whom they have confidence, and who only are to be responsible for the delivery o£ -the notes for which they receive orders.
