Clang the Cymbal' blow the trumpet! Make a joyful noise, To welcome in the bright new-year, My gay and gallant boys. Ye maidens sing your sweetest songs, Ye mothers grace the scene, Ye fathers shout, till traitors South, Shall wonder what you mean. All bail! the great auspicious year, The birth-day of the free; Its Nones and ides and Kalends all, The year of Jubilee. its robes arc washed in martyr's blood, As white as virgin snow ; An olive wreath is resting light, Upon its pearly brow Now listen, for 1 will be heard, All over land and sea, NY here millions rise to shout and sing, The anthems of the free* We'll take a retrospective view, Concerning past affairs, And see what hist'ry on its pages, Unto us declares. W ell—England's amicable still, Still treating us like brothers, We pardon her offences past, Hut woldn't. were they anothers. True, once her lion showed his teeth, And wore a deathlike pallor, Tint th.'n, she thought discretion was, The better part of valor. And so, she "cuvitl" it has been said, And treated matters clever, Hut kept an eye on Canada, Lest *A< might "cure' forever. Though Mexico, still reeks with blood, That civil war is spilling, We meddle not—though in her cause To fight sonic might be willing. Towards her now, as in the past, \Ye hold the same relation; Though scourged with transatlantic foes, We count her still a nation. The states of South America, Are, as sociable as ever. Tliey wish our L'nion to remain, H To be divided—never! In tact tlie nations of the earth, And Japan ; (not excepted), Ail ticai ur fair ami not one, tliitikj That we should be ii glectod. • Ail this we claim as very -ood, And speaking for our credit, You ask the cause ; I'll answer frank ; The Administration did it. Had l.iucoln proved the dastard knave. As Copperheads desired. Each nations heart would soon have been, With furious phrensy fired. Then would our transatlantic friends, Have come to join the strife, " Which, like a cankered wound, was eking (tut our nations lite. But no—like Washington the Great, That glorious Chief of old, He would not sell his native laud, For pottage or for gold. [ t)ur Lincoln stood the first in peace; The first In war ; and then, He stood the first in al! the hearts, Of Loyal Union men. And on the last election day, Was verified this truth," , That Lincoln was the people's choice, From hoary age to youth. 111. What shall I sing? of martial deeds; or the grave—- I'll sing the song of victory, A tribute for the brave. Our noble soldiers on the field, Are standing like a wall, To keep the foul insurgents back, Though many of ilieni tall. Of those who died a martyr's death, Where freedom leads the van, Mark well each grave, and on it write, Here lies a iwhb man. Groc 11 be the grass, that o'er him waves. > Let flowers the sod perfume, And twittering birds with sylvan songs, Shall "iiard his hallowed tomb. And uirough the hawthorn at, his head, ■ _From spring, to coming spring, Shall gentle winds sweet wafting on, For him a requiem sing. ' The opening rose shall bloom for him, For him the wood-bine twiue, For him shall fall the yellow leaf, From forest tree and vine. The blazing sun shall kiss the spot, That marks the heroes grave, \\ ho fought an.l bled nod won at last, The freehold of the brave IY. '■ Richmond town is doomed to fall, Like Jericho of old, The Ram horns now are blowing round AniGrant " won't'' let 'em mould, The seveuth day is drawing near, When all the host wjll shout; Thg walls will tumble, e'er* the lleb's 1 Know what they arc about. i Phil. Sheridan's a gallant kuight, As all the world eau see, He eau transform a dark defeat, To glorious victory; 1 Can save the day when all seems lost, • Can turn his flying band, And lead theui on, a conquering host, A sa'o guard for our laud. From conquering on tocouquesf, Our noble Shermau rides, And traitors know where e'«r h« got#, No good to them betides. = Crest fallen Jeff, what must he think, j Since Sherman's conquering host, Has traveled unmolested on, s Till it has gained the coast. Savannah's fallen !• tell the news. And shout ain't'! in glee, For God is helping on our cause; Our country, will be free. V r Oh! have you heard from Tennessee!! From Thomas ami his host ? The Rebels how have found, that they Were Hood-winked-to their cost. Now broke,] and demoralized, They seek a safe retreat, While close behind, our conquering bands • Press on with eager feet. And have you heard from Farragut ? • The Hero of the Bay," Who braved the Rebel shot and shell, Through all the summer's day; When to the Harbor of Mobile, He bore our banner bright, And struck a hearty earnest blow, " For Union and the Right." VI. The Rebel powers are failing fast, While ice are growing strong. Though some weak hearts still howl and cry •' How long! oh Lord how long!" Not long! ye stupid ones'of earth, You're blind and cannot see, • You're deaf, or you would hear your God Cry, "set the captive free." The widow mourning through the land, The orphan's now that be, And all the blood on gory fields, Cry, • set the captive free." The very winds that round you blow, The air, the earth, the sea, Have caught the strain and sing aloud, Go, • set the captive free." The spirits of the mighty dead, On land and rollingsea, And our own coneience cry out, Go, ' set the captive free." VII. Our navy rides upon thesea, Not second now to any, We count them not by twos and threes, For they are very niauy. The staunchest ships the world e'er saw, The biggest guns to boot them, Relong unto our navy now, And tor know, how to shoot them. When e'er we spy a thieving brig, To pieces quick we knock her: j We sent the Alabama down, i To Davy 'ones'* locker. The blockade runners vanish quick i And to suit our Yankee notion, The Florida turned her heels, And pitched into the ocean. Thus you can >ce by land and sea, . Our arms have been victorious, And through the year now ultimo, Our projects have been glorious. All our relations with the world, In honor we retain ; The war progresses right; and we've Elected Abe again. YIII. Lo! what a glorious future now Is opening to our view, As time with mighty hand, the bars, And massive bolts undo. The mighty edict soon will pass, To set the bondman free: And slaves unbound .-hall cry, this is, " The year of J uhilee." 1 he Davis Oligarchy swept Away from land and sea; Those wronged by him Will cry, this is. '• The year of .Jubilee." Our conquering heroes marching home, Its joys to taste and see, \V ill swing their caps and shout, ibis is, "The year of Jubilee." Then Copperheads will hide themselves. N" more of them we'll see; \\ lii'ie loyal men cry out, this is, " The year of Jubilee." Kind friends, my song is at an end, And if you'll Irmd to me.

Treasury Note*, payable three years from Aug. 15th, IS&4, with seinl-en nual interest at a rate of seven and three-tenths per cent, per annum—principal and interest both to bo paid in lawful money.* Tbitoe notea will be convertible at tha option of the holder at maturity, intoiix per cent, gold bearing bond*, payablo not les« than fire nor more than twenty years from their date, as the Government may elo?t. will be Issued in denominations of SSO, fIOO, SSOO, $1,009 and $6,000, and all subscriptions must be for fifty dollars or some multiple of fifty dollars. The notes will be transmitted to tha owners free of transportation charges as soon after tho receipt of the original Certificate of Deposit as they can be prepared. Aa the notes draw interest from Angu*t 15, persons making deposits subsequent date must pay the interest accrued from data of noto to date of deposit. Parties depositing twenty fire thousand dollars end upwards for those notes at any one time will be allowed a commission of one-quarter of one per cent, which will be paid by the Treasury Department upon the receipt of a bill for the amount, certified by the officer with whom the deposit was made. No deductions for commissions must be made from tho deposits. Soecial Advantages of This Loan. It is a National Savijws Bajcd, offering a higher rate of Interest than any other, and tJie hctt security. Any savings bank which pays its depositors in U. R. Notes, considers that it is paying In the best circulating medium of the country, and it cannot pay iu anything better, for Its own assets are either in government securities or in not«fs or bonds payable in government paper. It is equally couveniet ai a temporary or permanent investment. The notes can always ha sold for within a fraction of their face an l accumulated interest, and are the best security with banks tu collaterals for disnunts. Convertible into a Six per cant. 5-20 Gold Bond. In addition to the very libernl Intoreston the notes for three years, this privilege of conversion is now worth about three percent, pfr annum, for the current rato 112 >r 5-20 Bonds Is not loss than nine per cent, premium , and before the war the premium In nil per cent. U. S. stocks was over twenty per cent. It will be seen that the 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. But aside from all the ad vantages we ha"s enumera ted. a specinl Act of Congrtas exempts all honds and Treasury notes from local taxation. On the average, this exemption Is worth about two per cent. per annum, occording to tho rato of taxation Iu various parts of the country. It Is believe J that no securities offer so groat induce ments to lenders as those issued by tho government.— In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of prlvHtn parties, or stock compauies, or separate com munities, ouly, is pledged fsr payment, while the whole property of the country is held to secure the diuchatg* of all the obligations of the Untied States. While the government offers tho most liberal tonus for its loans, it believes that the very strongest appeal will be the loyalty and patriotism of the people. Duplicate certificates will bo Issued for all deposits.— The party depositing must ondorso upon tho original certificate the denomination of notes required, and whether they are to be issued lit blank or payable to or der. When so endorsed it must bo left with the officer receiving the deposit, to bo forwarded to the Treasury Department. Subscriptions win.
