Tta Third Series of Spea 7b,irtiei.'
The great success of the 7.30 Loan mut ai
wsyabe looked upon as one of the most
powerful evidences of the strength of the
United Slates Government, and of its strong
' hold upon the cor.fiJenaa and affdciion of
the peopte. Oa Saturday, May 13ib, the
subscriptions were ever thirty million dol!ar$,
and for the week ending on that day, over
ninety-eight million dollars, and in the three
months that the Loan bas been in the charge
ofMr. Jay Ccckc, over Jivt hundred million dol
ors. There large receipts will enable the
Treasury to pay off our armies as they are
disbanded, and to rapidly discharge the va
rious obligations that have been incurred
d ring the war. History will show that a
great war-debt to individuals bas never be
fore teen so promptly paid ; and we think
all will agree that Secretary McCoIIoeh de
serves great credit for the ability he has
manifested, not only in securing the means,
but for Ibe financial 6kill he has displayed
in o directing these vast receipts and dis
bursements as not for a moment to disturb
the equilibrium of commerce, embarrass
individuals, or in any way tighten the mon
ey market. It is. doubtless true that the
Secretary of the Treasury might have nego
tiated the remainder of bis Loans at sit per
cent interest instead of 7.30, but so much
valuable time would necessarily Lave been
lost in popularizing a new loan that the
creat object of the Government, viz., an ira
mediate supply of money sufficient to pay
all the debts incident to the war, would
t ave been defsatad , and besides, the differ
eneo of interest would not have been equal
to three days' expenses. .The'palicy may
have looked "penny wise," but - the best
fiinencikl authorities, as well as common
sense, pronounced it "pobnd foolish." As
it is and will be, no soldier will go home
without bis greenbacks, and a floating debt
In the shape of vouchers, requisitions, &c,
will be wiped out a rapiJIy as the poor
officers ran audit and adjust the accounts.
The Second Series of the 7.30 Loan was
exhausted on Saturday, Msy 13ih. On
Monday, trie Secretary of the Treasury an-
thorized Jay Cooke, the general Snbscrip
ion Agent for U S. Securities, to receive
ubscriptions for. S23O.00O.00O of a Third
Series, which is all that is authorized by
Congress, and is without daub: the last loan
at this high rate of interest that will be of
fered by the Government
There is no change in the terms or con
ditions of this Third Series, except that the
Government reserves the right of paying in
tere&t at six per cent, in gold instead of
seven and three tenth ia currency a right
which would pre-suppose a return to specie
payments, and make six per 'ceot. ia gold
even better than the higher rata in currency

Now tbtt the war is ever, and the darkey
hat been taught to believe that be is the
peer of the white man, we presume" the
next great question to bo decided by the
people will be that of negro suffrage. The
proposition that a negro has a right to vote,
and to share with the white man in all the
honor and emoluments of the country, will
bo forced upon the people, and they will
nave to meet it. And how will they decide
it ! For their own honor, we hope in the
negative. It is well that we should keepour
eye open to the approach of this question.
It is one of great magnitude, and it is steal
ing upon os, alow, bet sure as fate. We
warn the democracy to be on the look-out
for it, and to deal It a death-blow ia its in
eipiency. John C. Bheckinridob and Bsmamik, be.
sides many other prominent rebels, are still

Thi iFrccrs produced upon the condition
of negroes, by the conduct of the war un
der Abolition rule is rather greater than was
intended by the more conservative of the
administratioi party. Slavery, has been
forever destroyed in the United States, we
are told by lie Abolitionists. But there is
another resuli. in connection with this de
struction of slavery, it ia tho unsettled con
dition of negroes now. What will they do
with this black portion of humanity 1 Abra
ham Lincoln has been lauded by the vulgar
Abolitionists, beoanse be was the instrument
through which the radicals with the aid of
God J accomplished tho freedom of slave?,
and miniitem professing to preach the gos
pel have taken hira from the theatre to
heaven for the same reason. The great
philanthropic principle of which we bear
so much, may tarn to be a curse not only
open iho negro, but upon the nation and
individual citizens. Theythe Abolition
ills must conclude their work, the "Amer
ican citizen of African descent" is now
tossed about upon the wave of political and
personal opinions. And being puffed up
by the sound of the word liberty, he imag
ines himself not merely the equal ot white
men, bat capable to contend with hira in
intellectual and muscular power. He asks
for all the rights and privileges, political
and social, that are enjoyed by white citi
zens; and believes that freedom implies
not only a breaking of the ties of his mas
ter, but actually throws off the duty to
tabor and sontain his body by his own ef
forts. He cots a swell in North Carolina,
and in a striking manner endeavors 'to
prove his freedom, by refusing to work,
and asserts to his owner that be must be
kept. This calls for a military order from 1
the commanding officer instructing them
that they must work. In Philadelphia he
demands his social privileges, by thrusting
himself into the city railway-cars, in direct
opposition t (he rules of the companies,
and when compelled to abandon the ride,
his black brethren assembled in riotous
crowds and threaten their mascolar atiifi'y
upon the white inhabitants who, of course
are merely 'commoa people, and rot the
chosen flock of Abraham and the adminis
tration. Wo admonish our loyal people
that this situation of the negro cannot exist
long in lbs country. He most be settled
under some definite rule, and be must be
compelled to abide by such order as shall
be properly reqnired of him, or his life will
sooa be wor h no more -than the life of a
dog. American citizens not of African de
scent cannot and will not allow an.impu
deat treay and inferior dais of humanity
to insult them, nor press their social equal-
Tin Abschditt of Republican reasoning
was never more glaringly exposed than it
has been by recent events. After President
Lincoln was mardsred a certain class of
radical Republicans professed to believe
that it was God's will, because of his (Lin
coln's) leniency toward Lee and his army.
Bat President Johnson, judging from the
terms granted the rebel Gen. Johnson ai l
his array, which are precisely the same as
those granted to Lee, appears to be follow.
jng in the footsteps of his predecessor, and
hence, we must concludeaccording to this
radical theory, thai God's plan for the pun
ishment of the rebel leaders has failed !
Betides this, if it was Gad that done it, then
why kill Booth and arrest his associates ?
Would they punish God'a instruments ?
We think the Almighty had very little to do

Slightly Old Fogtish. On Sunday last,
we steped into the basement room of tho
new baptest church, on Ferry street, end
heard the pastor, Rev. G..W. Scott, deliver
what might well be styled an old fogy ser
mon, one, to be sure, drawn from the scrip
tures, but most astonishing to relate, the
speaker steadfastly adbeared to, and pro
claimed the writea words, such its, blessed
are the peace makers, ' love ye one anoth
er," &e.; language very current in the days
of Christ' and the Apostles, but very strange
ly forgotten at the present day by tho 'he
them Lip and thigh, and bayonet blessing
Divines. We almost doubled whether we
were in one of tho modern Christian
temples, so strangely did these "Peace doc
trines" sound.
The Rev. Scott handled bis subject well,
and proved that according to the divinely
written word, there are other more accept
able modes of prrpitaTing a spirit of politi
cal bate, and teaching Mahomedan doc
tiir.e that the surest passport to Heaven is

Rati or Iitcrzst At the lata Session of
the Legistatsro it was enacted that it is law
ful for a party to take, in addition to the six
per cent . interest on money loaned, an aro't
sufficient to pay the taxes assessed on mon
eys at interest. This is only fair. Hereto
fore, and now, oa every merchantable arti
cle the purchaser was and is charged tho
additional ol ali taxes levied on soch pro
ductions. Hence it is no raore than right
that financisrs and bankers should have
equal privilejsa with raaaufactHren and

Dear Edi tor. r From the 209lh Regiment,
Pa. Vols., I would humbly ask for a smnll
space in your valuable'paper, to communi
cats to your readers, the best I can, the
present condition of our boys, especially
those from the Oil Region.
We are beautifully encamped upon the
heights of Alexandria, with a fair view of
Washington, the borders of Maryland, and
the Potomac, and in the latter the soldiers
lose no spare time in bathing, fishing, &c.
When we first landed at this point the boys
were all of one mind; that pitching tents
with us had played out; but three long
weeks have already elapsed and, with one
or two excepiions, finds ns doing the same
dcty we were called npoD to perform while
in the front. Every heart seems panting,
and wailing with all patience the orders
to fall in for home. Every move that is
made by the officers or army is closely
watched, and every paj er that is allowed
to visit our.camp is thoroughly examined,
hoping to find in it some encouraging news:
and even our thoughts return and tell us of
taking For!?, climbing works, and cutting
our way tbroogh double rows of abatlis.,
amid showers of grape and canister, after
which we feel as though the air had chang
ed its odor. The boys fought nobly, thoogh
pre-sed hsrd by timec, they neither spared
nerve nor courage, till the enemy were
driven back, rhe victory won, and the field
covered wiih the enemy '8 dead. Thoogh
we were scaled but little by the enemy's
balls, yet God in bis infinite mercy saw fit
to lake from our ranks, by disease, six of
our comrates to himself 1n Heaven. One
brave and noble hearted soldier William
Thomas who fell of wonr.ds, from our
ranks at Petersburg, was carried to the hos
pital ai.d soon died. We all feel "that we
have lost a friend, and deeply sympathize
with the bereaved wife and mourning rela
tive. He laid down his life upon workc,
which were afieraards taken -by our boys,
that surprised the world and formed a new
leaf in history never to be forgotten.
The only conversation in camp i home
and its cares. Fearing that I have already
encroached upon your space loo much, I
will clo.ie, hoping the lime which ssems
visible to us may be close at hind, when
we can return 13 our homes to enjoy free
American citizenship which was so dearly
bought. Yours, wiih respect,

A DrR Captcuxd. On Friday last, two
young sons of Mr. Daniel Cover, aged about
twelve or fourteen years, residing three
miles from lowa towards South Mountain,
rsptored a deer in a most remarkable man
ner. While bringing the cattle home from
pasture they discovered the deer near a
pond ol water. On their approach it ran in
to the pond, but tho little felows waded in
after it, and without any difficulty tied a
string aronnd'its neck, when it followed them
as gently a a lamb. It was evidently chas
ed down from the mountain Jby dogs, and
seemed to be stiff and sore. It was placed
in a temporary pen and soon began to eat
heartily aad grow lively. It is a striking
novelty to catch a deer so near to Shippins
burg in thete times, and . the manner cf its
capture would be most remarkable under
any circumstances. Valley Sentinel.
