Mrntr*. E<htort: —l trust it may not he
improper for one who is out in defence ot
his country, to express a few words thro
the medium of your paper, on the great
political issue that is now fairly before the
people; not that I have any new original
idea to present, but merely to letyou know
how every true, good loyal soldier focls in |
reference to the proposed change in the j
Vdininistration. In less than two months, j
all will be called upon to lake part in the j
most important election which ever agi I
fated this country. On the Bth of No- j
veniber, tho pcopleat the polls will decide
whether they w ill follow up the victories
of our soldiers here in the field, with a
strong band crush tho almost exhausted
rebellion —punish the traitors and restore
the Union, on a basis of strength, frce
dom and justice. Or. whether on tho oth
er band they will withdraw our armies
from the field ; allow tlie rebels to recover
their strength—confess that our soldiers
have fought in an unjust cause—rob them j
of half the honor they have won, and ac
knowledge the independence of the Con
federacy 1 Those are the important ques
tions at issue, and with a great party or
ganized on the evil side, there should be
no time lost—no efforts spared in secur
ing a thorough rally of the friends of Lib
erty and Union. I would say of the sol
diers, those with whom I am most immedi
ately, associated a large majority,
arc for no change in tho Administration.
At this particular time. AVc know that
Abraham Lincoln is true to tho cause,
and has done, and is doing all he can to
preserve our glorious republic from an
archy and desolation. Therefore we would
rather not give a certainty for an uncer
tainty.
There arc but two sides to.this ques
tion—war and peace—Union and disun
ion—Abraham Lincoln's Administration
or Jeff. Davis'. Now every man is for
one or the other. For my part lam for
the Union and Abe Lincolu. llow can a
Mian who loves his country, vote for any
man held up by such men as Pendleton,
Yallandigliatn,Seymour and others 1 might
name, and those that vote for principles
held by them, votes against the saldier's
that arc out periling their lives for the
maintainancp of our nation's integrity.—
With these few lines let mo say, "never
■did such momentous results hang upon
the votes of men as will depend upon
rthose cast by the people of this country
.ou the Bthof November next." Can any
duty be more binding upon us than that
.of securing a triumph at the polls for the
-cause in whose behalf our soldier's have
for nearly four years, contended in the
field. Not two months remain for the
•coutcst. So goto work in earnest, and
.secure the re-election of Abraham Lin
coln, and iu doing this you will be doing
.all for liberty, freedom and humanity, and
•jre ntay expect a speedy and honorable
peace. But let us put our trust in Him
who rules and reigns over the destinies of
nations, and let us labor to become a na
tion whose God is the Lord.
J remain as ever,
yours with respect.

IIAURISBLRO, Sept. 18, 1804.
Editors of Citizens : —There has been
little or no excitcnienint at the State Capi
tal since I last had the pleasure of seeing
you, save in a military way. Already
there have been equipped and sent off
from this point, seven full regiments of
one year men; another is now in camp,
fully organized, and will move to-morrow.
Their respective numbers are, 200,201,
202, 205, 207: 208, 209 and 210; be
sides this, there lias been organized, two
full companies of sharp shooters for Bir
ney's 208 d. These Captain Gillespie of
your county, took to Philadelphia on last
Tuesday, to join the balance of their regi
ment. encamped in Camp Cadwalider.
This is a summary of what has been
done here in the last four weeks, save the
recruiting of three full companies for an
old regiment, tho 184 th, commanded by
Col. Storcr.
_No proceedings relative to the organi
zation of tho State Guards will betaken
by Governor Curtin until) after tho state
quota under the national call are full.
Then his call for three full regiments of
infantry.two squadrons of cavalry and four
batteries of artillary will be enforced even
if a draft has to be made. Perhaps a hea
vier call than he has already made, in case
a draft becomes necessary, will bccnforced.
Should Sheridan's column again pass to
Grant, a large movable column for the de
fence of the fronteer will become neces
sary.
In politics there seems to be nothing if
peculiar interest. I met Gen. Cameron
yesterday upon the street; in conversa
tion with him. he expressed tho utmost
confidence conserning the result in the
state; and in fact through the country,
so far as Mr. Lincoln's election is concer
ned. It will require energy, and above
all local organization. There are home
material always ready to yourband, if you
will but reach forth for tlieni.
But two months remain toascertain the
final result, and you must be up and do
ing, and not suffer tho great national
cause to fall into the hands of its enemies.
Tndcedyou have less than a month untill
the October election conies off. In for
mer campaigns we have bad months of
preparation and consentration, now we
have but weeks! think of that and rousu
, yourselves into the most vigorous and iu
! telligcnt action. Butler should give her
| one thousand majority of 1800. Our
■ enemies never were more active and vigi
| lent than now, though they have been
| much more confident of success. But
enough of politics.
Gov. Curlin has been absent for two
weeks on a traveling tour, but is expec
ted homo to-day.
(apt. Gillespie of your county, after six
weeks of very arduous service in organi
zing tho eighth regiment, as vrell as the
several detached companies recruited here,
goes on the last of this week, to
re-join bis regiment in (he field. He has
J made many warm friends here; and the
officer in command of Camp Curtin—Gen.
Uoylstom, is very sorry to part with him.
licmcmbor me personally to all my old
Butler friends; I hope to have the pride
ar.d privilege of meeting them on the |
stump ere tho close of tho present politi-
I cal campaign. H ARlllsnuno.

U. S. 7-30 Loan.
THE Secretary of the Treasury gives notice that sub
scriptions will be received fbr Coupon Treasury Notes,
payable throe roars from Aug. 16th, 1804, with seml-an
nuiil interest at a rate of seven ami three-tenths per
rent, per annum—principal an«l Interest both to be paid
in lawful money.
Thaw notes will bo convertible at tho option of the
holder at maturity, Into six per cent, gold bearing bonds,
payable nnt less thau five nor more than twenty year*
from their date, as tho Government may elect. They
will be issued in denominations of $.50, fIOO, $">00, $1,009
and 95,000, and all subscriptions must bo for flfty dollars
■ •r some multiple of flfty dollars. j
The notes will bo transmitted to the owners free of
transportation charges as soon after the receipt of the
original Certificate of Deposit ns they can bo prepared.
As the notes draw interest from August 16, persons (
making deposits subsequent to that date must pay the
Interest accrued from date of noto to date of deposit.
Parties depositing twenty-five thousand dollars and
upwards fur these notes at any one lime will be allowed
a commission of one-quartor of one per cent., which will
bo paid by the Treasury Department upon the receipt of
a bill for the amount, certified by tho officer with whom
the deposit was made. No deductions for commissions
must be made from the deposits.
Special Advantages of This Loan.
ir is A NATIONAL BAVIXU* BAND, offering a higher rate
of interest thau :nj other, and <Ac best security. Any
savings bank which pays its depositors In V. 8. Notes,
considers that it is paying In the best circulating medium
of the country, and It cannot pay In anything better, for
its own assets are either in government securities or In
notes or l»onds payulde in geeernment paper.
It is equally conveidet as a temporary or periuanont
investment. The notes can always bo sold for within a
fraction of their (are and accumulated interest, and are
the best security with banks as collaterals for disouuts.
Convertible into a Si* per cent. 5-20 Gold Bond.
lu addition to the very liberal interest on the note* for
threo years, this privilege of conversion Is now worth
about three per cent, per annum, fbr the current rate (br
5-20 Bonds Is not less than nine per ctut. premium, and
before tbo war the premium In six per cent. U. 8. stocks
was over twenty per cent. It will be seen that tho ac
tual profit on this loan, at the present market rate, Is not
less than ten per cent, per annum.
Its Exemption from Slate or Municipal Taxation.
Hut aside front all the advantages we ha«*o enumera
ted, a special Act of Congress exempli alt bonds ami
Treasury no let from lacal taxation. On the average,
this exemption Is worth about two per cent, per annum,
ocoording to the rate of taxation in varkmu parts of the
country.
It Is believed that no securities ofTer so jpeat induce
ments to lenders as those issued by the government.—
In all other fjrms of ladebtedtiess, the fuith or ability
of private parties, or stock companies, or separate com
munities, ouly, Is plod god fsr payment, while tho whole
property of tho country is held to secure tho discharge
of all tlie obligations of tho Uniied States.
While the government offers tho most liberal terms
for Its loans, it believes that tho very strongest appeal
will be the loyalty aud patriotism of the people.
Duplicate certificate will bo Issued for all debits.—
Tho party depositing must endorse upon tho original
certificate the denomination of notos requlrod, and
whctlior they aro to bo Issued In blank or payable to or
der. When so endorsed It must bo left with the officer
rrcetvfn- the deposit, to bo forwarded to the Treasury
Department.
