THE 7-30 GOVERNMENT LOAN.
We call attention to the adve r tise m ent of
this Loan in our columns to-day and also te
the published address of the Secretary of the
Treasury with regard to it. This is empl-cd
lordly a people's loan tool we h o pe to see
taken just immediately. It is based on
Treasury notes payable •hree years frout A it
gust 15th, 1861, bearing interest at the rate
of seven and threc.lolllll.s poe eent. per au
nun' payable, semi-annually in lawful mon.
cy. These notes tv;11 he i/ . ti1.110, at the
option of the hold,, at maturity, into six per
Cont. gold bearing: 1.,•,w1 r. deemable after
Zre, and payalde after It\ only vents from
August lilt,, I t.4T. The noteS are b•stnal in
tionoutinatla.. . 1 to :-..5,atd.
Every t'eattu.o of this loan commends it to
popular attention. 'l'h, amount of the de
nominations is low enough to bring tin loan
within. I 11 , reach of et ory one. while its high
rate of ::atero , , t [lnd freedom In In t:IX:Iti.11

relit., and the tax e.r: and r \pen e: :wending
the proper arrangement: , for making other
investments secure, reduce the actual rate of
interest of ordinary per cent lean., to alamt
4 por cent. Hero then is a clear gain of
three per cent over the beet inrestment that
can be made outside of this l sun. In a
lion to this there can be hut little doubt that
these bonds in a short time will effinmand
premium. On the score id• direct profit a
lone, it is the intere,t of evor,‘ Man in the
community who has money, to iavust ,very
dollar he can spare in this lo a n.
• There is another consideration, lio‘N-ver,
which should not be forgotten. The Gov
ernment has mof.t urgent need of mo ne y_
There are enormous demands on the Trea,u
ry every day. Our soldiers have for some
time been unpaid, and theii demands must
be met at the earliest date possible. If mon
ey is not raised promptly on these loans
there must be an increased issue of Treasury
notes and a consequent expansion of our
currency. The evils attending this can ea
sily be foreseen. The price of gold will ad
-ranee and the value of the currency dimin
il3ll. Prices will advance rapidly, and the
interests of the whole country will suffer.
The speculators and gold gamblers will reap
a rich harvest, while all other classes will
suffer from increased prices and diminished
Ineomes. In a time like this it is the duly
' t or-0e people to support the Gvernm , llt,
'iritir their means as well RS with their arms.
It is as essential that our Treasury should be
supplied with money as it is that our armies
should be tilled with men. The ono is its

THE RESULT OP ,THE SPECIAL
ELECTION.
Pennsylvania has nobly redeemed her
self. On last Tuesday week by an over
,whelming majority she restored to her
brave soldiers the elective franchise, and
thus gave them again the rights of *citi
zenship so long denied them by the de
cision of a partizan judiciary. The re
sult of the special election should make
glad every friend of the country, as it is
a success which justice, gratitude and
patriotism demanded. The men whose
love of country has caused them to sacri
fice all else in her defense never relin
quished or intended to TdinpliAil the
right to a voice in the choice of her
rulers. They who have exposed their
lives to the dangers of camp life anti bat
tle, and lint for whose efforts our tiovern
went would have Leon destreyed, might
have reasonably asked this as a deserved
acknowledgment of their services, ire en
they could not claim it as a right. And

We would remind our citizens that
their duty of Ministering to the wants of
'the destituM people of Chambersburg
is not fully discharged by a single effort.
There are many hundreds of people there
to-day who are actually dependant on
the contributions of the .neighboring
towns for their daily bread. On last
Monday alone thirteen hundred rations
were issued. Such a large daily demand
for,articles of food call only be supplied
by the constant exertions of those who
feel it their duty to Contribute. The
greater portion or tho supplies must fltr
some time. yet be eon tributed by the peo
ple of the neighboring tow us. It is true
that, elrorts are made in sonic of the prin
cipal cities for the relief of the sutibrers,
but the reimtteness of these places from
the place where their benevolence is to be
ixcreiMod of course lessens the interest
felt in the matter and delays the forward
ing of supplies. Even from Harrisburg,
although much has been said of the ef
forts made there, and doubtless much
has been done toward collecting funds to
bo used for the purpose, yet at the time
of this writing we are assured that not a
single loaf of bread had reached the re
lief committee at Chambersburg. We
are int4nied on the very best authority
that at the beginning of the precut
week there was an actual scarcity of all
supplies, and that frequently the relief
committee could barely supply even
bread enough to relieviii, the hunger of
the destitute hundreds who applied to
them daily. N o vo we in-tist that this
state: of thin_:- eviiive; a thoughtlessness
on the hart of the people of the counties
inane lialely 1-ni.rounding Chambersburg,
not at all creditable to them. It is of

The Battle of the 28th of July.
The last batik borore Atlanta, fought on
Thursday, the 28th of July, appears to have
been, in its results upon the combatants, ut

Atlanta has made three grand attacks on Sher
man, and has, failed in each, with dreadful
losSes. •
Each of his failures has been worse than that
which preceded it ; and in sixteen days, from
the 15th of July to the Ist of August, he is re
ported to have lost m.killed, *ounded and
prisbnors, twenty-four thousand man--very
nearly if not quite half of the army which
Johnson,turned over to him. -In the battle
of the'llBth lie flung his whole Artily against
Logan's corps, 'which had lieen moved from
the, right to the extreme left, and held, there-:
fore, the most important part of our line.
' The western troops' handled the shovel and
pick its skilfully as the rifle, and threw, up
pick
with almett . incredible rapidity.—
Logan had already, fortunately; raised work
in his front, and
,had his cannon .and rifle

were distaiyered. A writer who describes tho

short range ; Ahe riflemen N - fese iiristructed„ to
rise when the cannon began.flring, and take
deliberate aim. "each picking his man,
and firing as if at a deer." 'The two rebel
columns, commanded by Loring and Stewart,
advanced simultaneously. Our troops' lay
quiet till they got within a short range.—

water front of the Rebellion, and to that ex
tent stop blockade running and relieve for
other duty the vessels so long detained in that
service. Its fall involves the certain destruc
tion of Hood, for while Sherman is pressing
his front Canby can attack hiS rear, and it'
iorsuit eastward becomes necessary, the pur
suers may be reinforced and supplied from a
nearer base of operations. Mean whole, should
rarragut fail or be subjected to further de

The President of th- United States is au
thorized by the act of July 4, 1864 "To call
for env number of men us volunteers for the
respective turn, of ono, two or three years-,
for military service ; and any such volun

any substitute shall be, credited to tho'

oleetiou district, or of a county not so silt.-
vided towards the quota of which he may
have volunteered, or engaged ma substitute.
any quits or part thereof shall

Ow President is required immediately to or

part thereof whitili may then bettritilled."

The rhief object of thew, laws is to bring
ablebodied wen into the military service, and
to distribute as equally us practicable the
burden of supplyin4 thew.
In order to equalize the quotas, the terri
tory from which troops are to be drawn is
required by law to be divided into districts,
&c.. and each d Het is tosupply its due pro

If 11111111.• r if men were taken into con

In comidering this question. it will be ob
served that one man engaged to serte three
!,,,ors has been deemed the unit on which
military services has been equalized in ad
ministering the former acts of Congress.
It is not. material what unit is taken as the
basis of equalization if that unit is uniform
ly the same. It is on the assumption that
the mode of calculation heretofore adopted
will be continued by the Provost-Marshal
Goneral that the present call has been based.
The call of the President is for the num
ber of individuals actually required, making
allowance in the call only for those districts
which, under this call, will be liable to fur
nish comparatively few troops, by reason of
their having previously placed in the field
more than their share under all former ro
gulsilions.
Each man furnished under the present
call, whether his period of enlistment he
longer or shorter, Should count only one in
the quota now required, and each district
should furnish the full number of men which
shall finally be determined on and called for
as its quota'
But if one district shall fiil its quota With
one year men, and if another district OAP
