By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, the undersigned has assumed tha General Sub scription Agency for the sale of United States Treasury Notes, bearing seven and three tenths per cent, interest, per annum, known as the SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN. These Notes are issued underdate of August 15th, 1S64, and are payable three years from that time, in currency, or are convertible at the option of the holder intp IT. S. 5-20 Six per cent. GOLD-BEARING BONDS. These bonds are now worth a premium of nine per cent., including gold interest from Nov., which makes the actual profit on the 7-30 loan, at cur rent rates, including interest, abou t ten per cent, per nnum, besides its exemption from State- and municipal taxation, which adds from one, to three per cent, mart, according to the rate levied on o ther property. The interest is payable semi-annually by coupons attached to each note, which may be cut off and sold to any bank or banker. The interest amounts to One cent per da j on a 50 note. Two cents per Jay on a $100 note. TVn cents per day on a 500 note. .20 cents per day on a 1000 note. 1 per clay on n 5000 note.' Notes of all the denominations named will be promptly furnished upon re jeipt of subscriptions. This is THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET now offered by the Government, and it is confi dently expected that its superior advantages will make it the Great Popular Loan of the People. Less than 5200.000,000 remain unsold, which will probably be disposed of within the next 60 or 90 days, when the notes will undoubtedly command a premium, as has uniformly been the case on closing the subscriptions to other Loans. . In order that the citizens of every town and section of country may be afforded facilities for taking the loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Private Bankers throughout the country have generally agreed to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers will select their own agents, in whom they have confidence, and who only are to be re sponsible for the delivery of the notes for which they receive orders.

Attorn :y-Gkneral's Office, ) Washington, February 9th, 18G5. ) Sir : In your letter of the 29th January, you ask my opinion on the legal points pre sented in the letter of Gov. A. G. Curtin, to you, of date the 25th Jauuary. Gov. Curtin' s letter is in relation to the construction of the Act of Congress, ap proved 3d of March, 1863, commonly called the Enrollment Act. He insists 1st. That the words "period of service," since the commencement of the rebellion, as used in the 12th Section of the Act, do not require the President, in assigning the quotas to the several States, to take into consideration the whole term of enlistment of the volunteer ami militia man ; and 2d. That that part of the Act of 3d March, 1863, which makes the period of service an element in the calculation neces sary to determine the number of" men due from a State, ditrict, county, or town, has been repealed by the 2d section of the Act amendatory of the Enrollment Act, approv ed 24th February, lstf4. It will be more convenient to consider these questions in the reverse order, inas much as if it shall be found that the repeal has been made, as contended for, the first point made by the Governor need not be considered. The great objects of the Enrollment Act are: st. To declare who shall constitute the National forces ; and 2d. To organize a plan by which the Na tioral forces can be made available. Subordinate to the purpose of raising and orgtuizing the National forces, the plan a- doptcd by Congress shows a desire that the uraitunon the industrious population of the several States, and the communities thereof, should be equalized as nearly as practicable. lythe fourth, section of the Act of the third of March, 1863, the United States is divided into districts, of which the District of Columbia snail constitute one, each Terri tory of the United States shall constitute one or more, as the President shall "direct, and each Congressional District of the re spective States, as fixed by a law of the State next proceeding the enrollment, shall coustituteone. The eighth section provides, that there shall be a Board of Enrollment in each District. By the ninth section, it is provided, that if the Board of Enrollment shall deem it necessary, a District maybe divided into two, and, with the assent of the Secretary of War, into any greater num ber of sub-divisions. By the 12th section, it is made the duty of the President, in assigning to the Districts the number of men to be furnished there from, to take into consideration the number of volunteers and militia furnished by and from the several States in which said Districts are s'tuated, and the period of their service since the commencement of the pres ent rebellion; and shall so make such as signment as to equalize the numbers among the Districts of the Several States, consid ering and allowing for the numbers already furnished as aforesaid, and the time of, their service. . x , , . . It is evident, from the face of this act, that the several States and Districts had furnished a number of volunteers and militia, and for periods of service. The first duty of the President was to have the national forces enrolled; hisiiext duty was to ascertain what number of volunteers and militia has been furnished from the several States, and the periods of their service since the commence ment of the present rebellion; and then, from what Districts in the several States they came, that he might equalize the num bers among the Districts of the several States considering and allowing for the num bers already furnished as aforesaid, and the time of their service. Under the act of the 3d of March, 18C3, it is plain that he had no right and power to cut up a District into counties, township, precincts, or wards, in th draft therein. The authority given iu the 9th section to sub divide a district was for the purpose of fa cilitating or expediting the enrollment, and with no reference to equalization. It might, and doubtless did happen in many districts, that one well defined portion of a district, as a county, township, or ward, had furnished greatly more than the nunder due therefrom, whilst other parts of the same districts, e quallywell defined, had furnished few or none, thereby making a draft upon the dis: trict necessary, and yet, under the act, it was not in the power of the President to make the draft otherwisethan equal over the whole district This was unjust and oppressive. In order to correct- this flagrant hardship aud injustice, Congress, by the 2d section of the act of 24th February, 1864, and which is an amendment of the act of 3d of March, 1563, declared that the quota of each ward of a city, town, township, precinct, or elec tion district, or of a county, where the county is not divided into wards, towns, townships, precincts, or election districts, shall be, as nearly as possible, in proportion rh number nf men resident therein liable to military service, taking into account-as far as practicable, the number which has been previously lunished therefrom. It is earnestly insisted, and most inge niously argued, that this 2d section of the amended Act repeals so much of the 12th section of the Act of the 3d of March, 1863, as makes it the duty of the President to take into consideration the period of service or tne volunteers and militia ironi tne sev eral States. The argument in favor of the repeal rests wholly upon the words of the amendatory Act "the number which has been previously furnished therefrom." It is insisted that "number," as here used, means an arithmetical count 1 can not so understand it. The Act of the 3d March. 1S63. had pre scribed a mode by which the number of men due from the several States, should be as- certaineu: ana tnat moae required, not a simple count, but a consideration of the pe riod of service of men previously furnished. Congress used the irord number in the 2d section of the amendatory Act, understand ing that the mode of count prescribed in the original Act would be preserved. There are manv evidences uoon the face of the amendatory Act which shows that it was not the intention of Congress to change the mode of count prescribed in the origi nal act. The amended act does not undertake to say how the quota of a State or district is to be ascertained.' In ascertaining what num ber is due from a State or district, the Pres ident must pursue the mode prescribed in the twelfth section of the original act he must take into consideration the period of service; and yet under the construction in sisted upon, when he comes to equalize the draft, as authorized to do by the amended act, in the districts, he must be controlled by simple numbers. It cannot be that Con gress intended one mode of count for the States and districts, and a different and wholly inconsistent one for the sub-divisions or districts. Inextricable contusion would ensue. From the language used in various parts of the amendatory act, it is evident Congress did not intend to disturb the mode of count prescribed in the original act. For instance, in the eighth section of the amendatory act, it is said that the town, ward, or township shall be credited by his own services, and in the seventh section, "the period for which he shall have been enlisted," and "the pe riod for which he shall have been drafted," all going to show that time of service was held to be an element in the count" Nor do I think that the argument in fa vor of the repeal is aided by the language of the 1st section of the act, entitled "An act further to regulate and provide for the call ing out the national forces, approved 4th July, 1864. The act says, that "any such volunteer, or in case of draft, as hereinafter provided, any substitute shall be credited to the town," fec. Congress meant that the credit should be civen according to the mode of count prescribed in the act of 3d March, 1863. The whole purpose of the 2d section of the amendatory act was to enable the , President t equalize the draft in the sever al districts, surely not to have one mode of couut in ascertaining the quotas of the sev eral states and districts. Besides, it is hardly to . be considered that Congress would thus incidentally strike from so impor tant a statute a feature so prominent and e- quitable. I am. theretore, ot the opinion tnat tne mode of ascertaining and assigning to States and districts their respective quotas, as pre scribed in the 12th section of the act of the 3d March, 1863, is not repealed, and that the same mode must be : pursuid inequali zing the draft among the sub-divisions of each district. Next comes the question, what is the i mode of count prescribed in the 12th section of the act of March 3d, 1863? It is very plain that Congress regarded I that a consideration on the period of service would change the rule from a merely numer ical one. Some credit was to be given for j the period of service as well as for the man. Congress has fixed various periods of ser vice, and State and districts, and fractions of districts, had furnished men for those peri- ous oi service. iow now is me creun 10 be given? Before r roceedmg to answer the question, it may be proper to state, that it is insisted lilab lllc n Ol US iwiuuvi wuit &uia i-mit of service," as used in the 12th section of the act of March 3, 1863, mean something different from term of service. It seems to me that the phrases mean one and the same .i Ti-i ' ,1 i j i : c t umg. nen ine woru term is useu in ref erence to time, it is, according to tne lexi cographers, very nearly the synonym of pe riod. The difference betwixt them, if ari3 is too uncertain and shadowy to believe that Congress meant by the use of one, some thing different from what is understood by the other, v But the words period and term, both occur in after parts ot the acts now un der consideration. In the 18th section of the act of 1863, the term of service is spo ken of, and the term of re;enlistment, whilst inthe 7th section of the amended act, it is the period for which he shall have en listed, and the period for which he shall have been drafted. Thus it will be preteiv ed, that upon the very face of these acts, Congress used these words as meaning the same thing. It happens, too, in the act, that either word may be used and yet the same idea intended, as in the 8th section of the amended act, where the language is, "shall be credited by his services." : Regarding then "period of service," and "term of service,", as. meaning the same thing, any argument predicated upon a differ ence must be disregarded. And thus we are brought back to the question, how is the credit tohe given ? Must the credit be for the time of actual service, or the period of enlistment? I think that Congress intended by the words "period of service," to give credit for the time of his enlistment. When a man enlists in the service of the Govern ment for one, two or three years,' his services are due to the Government for that period, and during that period his services are with drawn from the industrial pursuits of Jife. The act speaks as though there was a cer tain and fixed period for the services of each man, and yet, if any period is taken, other than the term of enlistment, by some system of average or guess, a rule must be fixed. To do so would violate the certainty contem plated by the act. I am therefore, of the opinion that the President must under the Act, give credit by the whole period or term for which the man enlisted. Whether this is the rule which should have been adopted by Congress, whether it does not operate unequally, and whether it is exactly just or not, are questions that con not now be considered. It is familiar to all that special cases of hardship will occur by the application of any general rule; never theless the law, as written, must be pursued and enforced. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Jamf-s Speed, To the President. Attorney General. Interesting Questions and Answers relative to the 7.30 U. S. Loan. Mr. Jay Cooit, of Philadelphia, who for so long a time had the management of the popular 5X) million 5.20 Loan, has just been appointed by Secretary; Fessexden, the General Aoent to dispose of The on ly POPULAR Loan now offered for sale by Government, viz. : the "SEVEN THIll TAV In entering upon his duties he desires to answer plainly the large Dumber of ques tions daily and hourly propounded to him, so that his fellow countrymen may all un derstand what tliis "Seven Thirty Loan" is what are its peculiar merits, how they can subscribe for or obtain the notes, &c 1st question. Why is this Loan called the "Seven-Ttirty" Loan? . Answer. It bears Interest, in currency, at the rate of Seven Dollars and thirty cents, each year on every hundred dollars , mak ing the interest as follows: One cent per day on each " $ 50 note. Two cents per day on each 1 0O note. Ten cents per day on each 5o0 note. Twenty cents per day each 1,000 note. One dollar per day on each .5,000 note. 2d Question. When and how can they be obtained ? Answer. They are for sale, at mr, and accrued interest, by all Sub-Troasuries, Na tional and other Banks, ar.d ail Bankers and Brokers. Zd Question. When is the interest pay able and how can it be collected? Answer. T he Coupons or Interest Tick ets are due 15th of Febuary and 15th of August m each year, and can be cut off from the cote, and will be cashed by any Sub-lreasurcr, l!. S. Depositor, .National or other Bank or Banker. 4t!i Question. Whea must the Govern ment pay off these 7.30s? Answer, lhey are due in two vears and a half from the 15th of Februarj'i 1865; viz.: on the 15th of August, 1867. bth Question. Must L receive back my money so soon as 1867? Answer. Jo not unless youyourselt pre fer to do so the Law gives you the right to demand from the Government, at that time, either vour money or an equal amount at par, of the famous and popular 5.20 Cold lieu ring 6 per cent. Lioan. 6th Question. How much do you consul- er this privilege ot conversion, into o.u Loan to be worth? Answer. 5. 20s bearing Gold Interest from 1st of November, are to-day worth 9 per cent, premium. If they are worth no-more at the end of the two years and a half, when you have a right to them, than they note are, this premium added to the interest you re ceive, will give you at least 10 per cent per annum for your money but the opinion is that they will be worth more tqan 9 per cent. premium at that time. 1ii Question. What other advantage is there in investing in the 7.30 Loan? Answer. It cannot be taxed by States, Counties, or Cities, and this adds from one to three per cent, per annum to the net in come ot the holder, according to the rate ot taxation in various localities. All bonds and stocks. exceDt those of the United fctates, and all mortgages, &c, are taxed, not only by the Government, but hy otates, uounties and Cities. StU Question. How does the Government raise the money to pay the interest, and is it safe and sure ? Answer. The Government (collects, by taxes, in internal revenue, and duties on im ports, fully three hundred millions each year, l ins is nearly three times as mucn as is needed to rav the interest onall the debt, and soon as the war is ended, the amount not needed to pay the interest will be used, in paying off the debt. Our Government . lias twice paid off all its debt, and can easily do so aram. The interest is sure to be paid proniptly and the debt itself is the very safest investment in- the world. It is, as safe as a mortgage on a gojd farm, and pays a better interest. It is, in fact, a First Mortgage on all land, all incomes, all rail road and canal bonds, and bank or other stocks, mortgages, &.c Nothing can be safer, forwe are all bound for it, and all that we have is firmly held for the payment of principal and interest. How foolish those people are, who keep their gold and greenbacks idle and locked up, or purchase mortgages or railroad stocks and bonds, which pay only 5 or 6 per cent inter est, when these Seven Thirties pay (count ing the premium on Five-Twenties,) over ten per cent., and are so much safer and surer. . f 9th Question. How many Seven-Thirties are there, and how much remains unsold ? Anrwcr. There are only about three hundred and twenty-five millions authorired by law, and only about one hundred and ninety millions remain unsold. 10th Question. How long will it take you to sell the balanec ? Ansicer. There are about 800 National Banks all engaged in selling them ; also a large number of the old banks, and at least three thousand private bankers and brokers, and special agents will be engaged in all parts of the country in disposing of them to the people. 'Hth Question. How long will it take to sell the whole ? Answer. In less than three months they will be all sold, and will no doubt thea sell at a" premium, as was the case with the old Seven-Thirties, the first Twenty-Year Loaiij and the Five-Twenties. The above questions and answers, it is be-4 lieved, will give full information to all. It not, the General Subscription Agent, or any of the Bauks or Bankers employed to sell the Loan, will be glad to answer all ques tions, and to furnish the Seven-Thirties in small or large sums (as the notes are issued in denominations of $50, $10O,$ 500, $1,000 and $5,000, ) and to render it easy for all to subscribe thus fulfilling the instructions of Mr. Fessexden, who earnestly desires that ih'ejieople of the whole land, (as well as the capitalists,) shall have every opportunity afforded them of obtaining a portion of this desirable, investment. Let none" delay, but Subscribe at ONCE. TUROtT;il THE NEAREST RESPONSI BLE Bank or Bankers. Sue Mundy Caught. A dispatch dared Louisville, March ISthj says: An expedition of fifty of the 30tli Wisconsin. scnt from here on Saturday, surrounded yesterday morning, a barn in Webster, Mead county, capturing Sue Mundy, alias Jerome Clark Magruder and Henry Metcalf, after some resis tance, in which three of our men were slightly and a fourth mortally wounded. The prisoners were brought here by the steamer Morning Star, this morning, and lodged in the military prison. Magru der is suffering f com a recent wound, and is not likely to recover. Gold Speculators. The heaviest dea lers in the article, says a New York corres pondent of the Schoharie Jlepublican, work upon the smallest capital. They talk of millions as if possessed of untold riches, while they can put their all in one pocket. The gold dealer unless he is "wiped out" in his first transactions, may do millions in the business on a capital of a few thousand. I know of one, formerly at the head of a de funct Albany bank, whose deposits with his broker has never been over three or four thousand dollars, and he has bought and sold over four millions of gold within six weeks. " Characteristic. The United States Service Magazine, in an article on the Quar termaster's Department, says, that when, in May, Sherman started to open the cam paign from Chattanoga "Sir," raid he to the Quartermaster at Nashville, "I shall move from Chattanooga, when the Lieuten ant General orders me ready or not ready. and if you don't have my army supplied, we'll eat your mules up, sir." And Wil liam Tecusiseii no doubt thoroughly meant it, but the Quartermaster was up in time, and saved his mules.
