Float gracefully above the gorgeous flowers.
The sun pours down a flood of golden heat
Upon the busy world; so hot and bright,

Appeal of tbe Secretary of ttie
Treasury.
Mr. Fessenden, the new Secretary of
the Treasury, has issued the following
eloquent appeal in behalf of the Two Hun
dred Million Loan which he has placed in
the market :
TO THE PEOrLE OF TIIE UNITED STATES.
TREASURY Department, Washington,
July 25, 1&64.
3y an act of Congress approved June
SO, 18G4, the Secretary of tbe Treasury is
authorized to issue an amount not exceed
ing two hundred millions of dollars in
Treasury notes, bearing interest at a rate
not exceeding seven and three-tenths per
centum, redeemable after three years from
date, and to exchange the same for lawful
money. The Secretary is further autho
rized to convert the same into bonds bear-J
iog interest at. a rate not exceoding"six
per centum, payabJe-in coir In pursu
ance "bt the authority thus confened, I
now offer to the people of the United
States Treasury notes as described in my
advertisement dated July 25, 18G4.
The circumstances under which this
loan is asked for, and your aid invoked,
though differing widely from the existing
state of affairs three years ago, are such
as afford equal encouragement and secu
rity. Time, while proving that the strug
gle for national unity was to exceed in
duration and severity our worst anticipa
tions, has tested the national strength,
and developed the national resources, to
an extent alike unexpected and remarka
ble," exciting equal astonishment at home
and abroad. Three years of war havo
burdened you with a debt which, but
three years since, would have seemed
hevond vour ability to meet. Yet the
accumulated wealth and productive ener
gies of the nation have proved to be so
vast that it has been borne with compara
tive ease, and a peaceful future would
hardly feel its weight. As a price paid
for national existence, and the preserva
tion of free institutions, it does not deserve
a moment's consideration.
Thus far the war has been supported
and carried on, as it on Jy could have been,
by a people resolved, at whatever cost of
blood and treasure, to transmit, unimpair
ed, to posterity, the system of free govern
ment bequeathed to them by the great
men who framed it. This delibcrato and
patriotic resolve ha3 developed a power
surprising even to themselves. It has
shown that in less than a century a nation
ha3 arisen, unsurpassed in vigor, and ex
haustless in resources, able to conduct,
through a series of years, war on its most
gigantic scale, and finding itself, when
near its close, almost unimpaired in all
the material elements of power. It has,
at the present moment, great armies in
the field, facing an enemy apparently ap
proaching a period of utter exhaustion,
but still struggling with force the greater
and more desperate as it sees, and because,
it sees, the nearer approach of a final and
fatal consummation. Such, in my delib
erate judgment, is the present condition
of the greatest contest for civil liberty in
which you are now engaged.
Up to the present moment you have
readily aud cheerfully afforded the means
necessary to suppoit your Government in
this protracted struggle. It is your war.
You proclaimed it, and you have sustained
it against traitors everywhere, with a pa
triotic devotion unsurpassed in the world's
history. a
The securities offered are such as should
command your ready confidence. Much
effort has been made to shake public faith
in our national credit, both at home and
abroad. As yet we have asked no foreign
aid. Calm and self-reliant, our own means
have thus far proved adequate to our
EBENSBTIRGr, PA., THUKSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1864.
wants. They are jet ample to meetthoso
of the present and the future. ' It still re
mains for a patriotic people to furnish the
needful supply. . The brave men who are
ffchtinrr our battles by land and sea must
be fed and clothed, munitions of war of
all kinds mu3t be furnished or the war
must end in defeat and disgrace. This is
not the time for any lover of his country
to inquire as to the state of the money
market, or whether he can so invest his
surplus capital as to yield him a larger
return. No return and no profit can be
desirable it followed by national dissolu
tion or national disgrace. Present profit
thus acquired is but the precursor of future
and speedy destruction. No investment
can be so surely profitable as that which
tends to insure the national existence.
1 am encouraged in the belief that by
the recent legislation of Congress our fi
nances may soon be placed upon a sound
and more stable footing. Tho present
deranged condition of the currency is im
putable, in a great degree, to disturbances
arising from the withdrawal of necessary
checks, often inevitable in time of war,
when expenditures must largely exceed
any possible supply of coin. The oppor
tunities thus presented to acquire sudden
wealth have led to .vicious speculation, a
consequent increase of prices, and violent
fluctuation. The remedy is to be found
only in controlling the necessity which
beget3 the evil. Hitherto we have felt
the heed of more extensive and vigorous
taxation. Severe comment has been made
upon what seemed to many an undue tim
idity and tardiness of action, on the part
of Congress, in this regard. I deem it
but just to say that very great misappre
hension has existed, and perhaps still ex
ists, upon this point. Legislators, like
all others, have much to learn in a new
condition of affairs. An entirely new sys
tem was to be devised, and that system
must necessarily be the growth of time'
and experience. It is not strange that
first efforts should have proved imperfect,
and inadequate. To lay v heavy burdens
on a greit and. patriotic. peopo in sucft a
maj3trcr .9 be equal,"and as to tcca.on
the least amount of suffering or annoyance,
requires time and caution, and vast labor ;
and with all these, experience is needful
to test the value of the system, and cor
rect its errors. Such has been the work
which Congress was called upon to per
form. I am happy to say that daily re
sults are proving the internal revenue act
to exced in efficiency the most sanguine
expectations of its authors. In the month
of June, 1863, it yielded about four and
one-half millions of dollars, while the
corresponding month of this year returned
about fifteen millions, under the same law.
Under the new law, which went into effect
on the first day of the present month, tho
Treasury not unfrequently receives one
million in a day. As time and experi
ence enable the officers employed in col
lecting the revenue to enforce the string
ent provisions of the new law, I trust that
a million per day will be found the rule
and not tho exception. Still, much space
is undoubtedly left for improvement in
the law, and in its administration, as a
greater amount of necessary "information
is acquired. The proper sources of rev
enue, and tho most effective modes of ob
taining it, are best developed in the exe
cution of existing laws. And I have
caused measures to be initiated which will,
it i3 believed, -enable Congress so to im
prove and enlarge the system as, when
taken ia connection with the revenue from
customs and other sources, to afford an
ample and secure basis for the national
credit. Only on such a basis, aud in a
steady and vigorous restraint upon curren
cy, can a renieiy be found for existing
evils. Such restraint can only bo exer
cised when the Government is furnished
with means to provide for its necessities.
But without tho aid of a patriotic people
any government is powerless, for "thi3 or
any other desirable end.
The denomination of the notes proposed
to be issued, ranging from fifty to five
thousand dollars, place these securities
within the reach of all who are disposed
to aid their country. ' For their redemp
tion the faith, and honor, and property of
that country are solemnly pledged. A
successful issue to this contest, now be
lieved to bo near at hand, will largely
enhance their value to the holder; and
peace once restored, all burdens can bo
lightly borne. He whosclfishly withholds
his aid, in the hope of turning his avail
able means to greater immediate profit, is
speculating upon his country's misfortunes,
and may find that what seems to be pres
ent gain leads only to futuro loss. I appeal,
therefore, with confidence to a loyal and
patriotic people and invoke tho efforts of
all who love their country, and desire for
it a glorious future, to aid their Govern
ment in sustaining its credit, and placing
that credit upon a atable foundation.
' W. P. Fessenden.
Dratted Men, Substitutes and
Volunteers.
The following synopsis of the require
ments of tho amendatory Conscription law
is believed to be not only full, but reliable.
Just now, with a draft or 500,000 more
troops ordered for the 5th September, it
must needs prove interesting to our read
ers: First. The exemptions of tho original
act, io fathers of motherless children
under twelve years of age, to some mem
bers of families in which others aro in
service, to sons who are the support of
aged and destitute parents, and for other
similar causes, are no longer allowed.
- Second. The commutation clause, by
which a person who was drafted might be
released upon payment of three hundred
dollars, is repealed, with a single exception
in the case of persons conscientiously
opposed to bearing arms, who may com
mute upon payment of threo hundred
dollars', or otherwise -be considered as
"non-combatants' and if drafted be held
to service for hospital duty, or in the
care of freedmen. Persons physically
incapable of duty are exempted upon sur
gical examination.
Third. The division of citizens into two
classes, the second clas3 not being liable
to-service until the first class was exhaus
ted, is abolished, and all citizens liable
are enrolled in the same class and may be
held to similar service.
Fourth. The ago of liability to the
draft is between twenty and forty-five
year.?. .
Fifth.- Volunteers maybe received who
are between the ages, of eighteen and
forty-five years. Youths between sixteen
and eighteen years may be received with
the consent of their parents or guardians.
The enlistment of boys under sixteen
j ears of age is a military offense in the
officer who recruits them, who may be
puuish'ed therefor.
Sixth. Volunteers, - whether white or
colored., re'eeive the Government 'bounty,
according to -tie time 'for which they
agreed to serve. For one year, S100; for
two years, S-00; for three years, $300.
These amounts are paid in installments.
To a one year's volunteer, when mustered
in, $33.33; to a two years recruit, SGG.Co;
to a three year's recruit, $100. Two oth
er installments are to be paid to the vol
unteer or his representatives during the
term of service.
Seventh. The money of a private, either
volunteer, substitute or drafted man, is
sixteen dollars a month. Non-commissioned
and commissioned officers receive
an increased pay beyond the rates which
were allowed before the last session of
Congress.
Eighth. Drafted men receive no boun
ties from the Federal Government, and
wc presume that they will not receive any
from the town or county to which the
belong.
Ninth. Substitutes from drafted men,
or from men liable to draft, furnished in
advance of the draft, receive no bounties
from the Government. In Philadelphia,
if they go for three years, they will receive
two hundred and fifty dollars, and for a
lesser term in proportion.
Tenth. Representative substitutes for
persons not liable to draft are considered
as volunteers, and receive the Federal and
municipal bounties, and whatever their
principal agrees to pay them.
Kleventh. Volunteers and representative
substitutes may bo mustered in for one,
two, or three years, as they may eleci.
- Twelfth. Substitutes for drafted men,
or men liable to draft, may be accepted
for one, two, or threo years, according to
the time that tho principal would havo to
serve, or as he may engage them.
Thirteenth. Representative substitutes
for persons not liable to draft, may be
persons who are liable to draft.
Fourteenth. Substitutes for persons lia
ble to, draft, furnished before drafting,
must not themselves be liable. They may
either be aliens, veterans, or sailors who
have served two years and been honorably
discharged, or tho cit'zcnsof the States in
rebellion, or slaves of llebel owners.
Fifteenth. The principal shall be ex
empt from draft during the time that the
said substitute is not liable to draft, not
exceeding the time for which tho substi
tute shall be accepted.
Sixteenth. The United States no long
er pays premiums for the procuration of
recruits.
Seventeenth. Men furnished under tho
call ot July 18, 1801, .whether enlisted
for one, two, or three years, as well as all
excess or deficiency of three years' men
on calls heretofore made, will count as
man for man. The equalization of the
amount of military service rendered by the
different States and parts of States will be
effected hereafter.
Eighteenth. A substitute for an enrolled
man is credited, and, therefore, deducted
from the quota of the locality he en list 3
in. '
Nineteenth. An enrolled man furnish
ing an alien as a substitute is exempt for
the time of "service of the substitute,
unless the alien becomes a citizen, or de
clares his intention to become so, in which
case the substitute is liable to draft, and
his principal likewise.
Twentieth. A man may enlistin the
army or navy for three years as a substi
tute. If in the navy, he must be twenty
three years old.
Twenty-fir3t. Recruiting agents in reb
el States must havo a letter of appoint
ment from the State Executive. The par
ticular field of a State in which the agent
is to operate, is to be specified ia the let
ter of appointment. All recruiting asents
will be subject to the rules and articles of
war. It i3 made the duty ot the com
manding officer of any department or dis
trict in which recruiting agents operate,
and of commander officers of rendezvous,
to order back to his State or arrest and
hold for trial, as he may deem best, any
recruiting agent who shall commit frauds
upon the Government or recruits, or who
shall violate tho instructions issued to
govern this recruitment, or be guilty of
any offense against military law. No man
shall be recruited who is already in the
military service a3 a soldier, teamster, la
borer, guidp, &.C.J or who is so employed
by tho military authorities as to be of im
portance to military operations. Recruits
procured under this privilege must be de
livered by the recruiting agents at one of
the following warned rendezvous, namely:
Camp Casey, Washington D. C., for North
east Virginia ; Camp near Fortress Mon
roe for Southeast Virginia ; Camp New
bern, N. C, for North Carolina; Camp
HU ton Head, S. C, for South Carolina
and Florida ; Camp Vicksburg, Miss.,
for Mississippi; and Camp Nashville,
Tenn., for Georgia and Alabama.
Twenty-second. If it is desired to put
any of the volunteer recruits from the
rebellious States into the service as sub-
1titc.tes befo're or aftej the . draft, they-
must be sent without expense to the uov--ernment
by the recruiting agent to the
district in which the principal is enrolled,
and there be mustered in by the Provost
Marshal, who will issue the proper substi
tution papers. It 13 made the duty of
commanding officers to afford to recruiting
agents all such facilities as -they can pro
vide, without detriment to the public
service, and to prevent recruiting by un
authorized parties.
Twenty-third. The enlistment of hun
dred day men does not operate to reduce
the liability of the district from which he
volunteers. But if any hundred day man
is drafted, his hundred days' service counts
in reducing his term of service.
Twenty-fourth. Although the volun
teers are taken for one, two or three years,
the draft is for one year.

The Stability op the People.
Three years and a quarter since, a period
of political , excitement running through
eight years culminated, by the bombard
ment of Sumter, in open, inexcusable
rebellion against a government noted for
its leniency, and which, during the greater
portion cf the time since iia formation,
had been controlled by the men who re
volted against it. The great mass of the
Northern people with painful yet patient
anxiety had watched the course of events
from the commencement to the close of
the agitation of a question that had ever
proved the dire source of all our woes. -The
yielding of more territory to the do
minion of an institution at war with tho
conscience of the North, as well as that of
the founders of the republic, had been
demanded. Tho North answered firmly,
manfully, that such a thing could not be
by her consent. , And then came rebel
lion, horrid, bloody rebellion. Frightened
at the prospect of civil war, there was a
time when the concessions sought could
have been obtained. The advocates of a
wicked system preferred to draw the sword.
If any man's memory is at fault concern
ing these things, let the records of Con
gress and of the Peace Convention be hia
resort. . . .
And now wo wish to call attention to
one of the leading causes of . the noblo
steadfastness, and unwavering determina-,
tion, of the people through these three
years and a quarter of trial by devastation
and blood. The generation that had laid
the foundation-stones of the republic amid
the contusion of war, and that had cemen
ted those stones either with their own or
th eir kindred's blood, were not all departed
from among us (and are not yet) when tho
tocsin of strife sounded that the fabric our
fathers had reared we must preserve. The
nation announced itself equal to the task.
But the magnitude of the work underta
ken was far from being fatty comprehen
ded. . Enthusiasm, reached .its i highest '
pitch ; and in this, as in all other enthu
siasms, there must cornea time when "it
would begin to ebb. . Acd with tho com
mencement of that ebbing, began tho
danger of total reaction. Would thtj
people, disappointed in their fond hopes,
with defeat instead of success, delay in
stead of vigor, toil instead of triumph,
relapse into despondency and turn from
their avowed purpose ? .Our fathers had
taught us to nourish schools, to open all
the avenues to intelligence, and to make -ourselves
a reading, thinking, intelligent
people in all affairs pertaining to our na
tional character. The teaching of our
fathers, it was ours to test. Thank God,
thank God, right nobly it has stood tho
trial! - t
With buoyant spirit.', with undoubting
faith, the nation heard tbe tread of it3
first army as it went forth to battle.
When those columns returned broken and
defeated, amazement filled the heart,' but
a new tind stronger determination pervaded
the man. Another time there was pro
crastination instead of earnestness, then
defeat instead of progress, and then disas
ter instead of vigor. l)oes the nation,
despair? do the peeplo grew faint? how
throbs the national pulse? Rejoice!
Our fathers taught us not in vuin. . At
the fireside, in the home circle, the paper
is taken from the table, and the book from
the shelf, and the people see that: the
struggle is their struggle, and that hari
vest is reaped only through toil and sweat.
The old grey-head, lingering for a few daya
more as one who hates to depart on his
journey, tells how our flesh before us bora
muskets on galled shoulders and marched
in winter without shoes, and shows wliera
4,ti3 written in history." Then younger
heads respond, '"We'll not give up yet!"
Ah I it is our schools that enables the pco-:
pie to sec that their zeal was too much for
their judgment. And thus it is that tho
people do not waver, even though thero
arc men and presses that have found noth
ing better to do than to turn' their backs
upon their country, and bow down beforo
and utter matin ancl vesper hymns over a
dying institution, which, in vigorous life
disgraced the day and put mankind to
blush. Of these men a future generatiou
will probably say : "Lot their memory bo
forgotten by all living !"
