The whole amount of the Loan authorized is Five Hun 'red 31illions of Dollars. NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED MILLIONS HAVE BEEN ALREADY SUBSCRIBED FUR AND PAID INTO THE TREA SURY. mostly within the last seven months. The large demand from abroad, and the rapidly increas ing home demand for use as the hnsis for circula tin by National Banking Associations now organ ising in all prime of the country. will, in every short. period, absorb the balance. Sales have late ly ranged from ten to fifteen millions weekly. fre quently exceeding three millions daily, and it is well known that the Secretary of the , Treattury has ample a , 4 un , ailing resources in the Duties on. Imports and Internal Revenues, and in the issue of the Interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is almost a certainty that he will not find it ne emtsary, for a long time to come, to seek a rnn.rket for any other long or permanent. Loans,- THE IN TEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF WHICH ARE PAY ABLE IN GOLD. Prudence and self-interest must force the Minds of these contemplating the formation of National Banking Associations, as well as the minds of all who have idle money on their hands, to the prompt conclusion that they should lose no time in sub sorbing to this most. popular Loan. It will soon he beyond their reach, and advance to a handsome premium, ass *as the result with the "Seven Thirty" Loan. when it was all sold and could no longer be subscribed for at par. IT IS A SIX PER CENT LOAN, THE INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL PAYABLE IN COIN, THUS YIELDING GVEIi NINE PER. CENT. PER ANNUM at the present mite of premium on zoin. The Government. requires all duties on imports to he paid in Gold ; these duties for a long time past amounted to over a Quarter of a Million'of Dollars daily, a sum nearly three times greater than that required in the payment of the interest on all the 5.20's and other permanent Loans. So that it is hoped that the morphia Coin in the Treasury. at. no distant d is'. will enable the United States to resume specie payments upon all liabilities. The Loan is called 5-20 from the fact that Bonds may rim for 20 years. yet. the Government has a right to pity them off in Gold at par, at any tam one, 5 years.: T INTEREsT IS PAID BALF-YEARLY, viz: on the OM days of November and May. Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are payable to bearer. and are $5., $lOO, $5OO, and $11100; or Itogistered Bonds of same deamuina flow' and in addition. $5,'100. a.,d $lO,OOO. For ranking purposes and for .nvestments of Trust monies the Registered Bonds are preferable. These 6-20's minim taxed by States, cities, towns, of counties. and the Government tax on them is only one-and-a-half per_ceut.. on the amount of in come. when the income of the holde,r exceeds Six Hun& cd dollars per annum; all other iniestments such a. income from Mortgages, Railroad Stock And Deeds etc., must pay from three to five per cent. tax on the income. and Bankers throughout, the Country will continue to di.puse of the Bonds; and ell orders by mail, or otherwise promptly attended to. The inconvenience of a few days' delay in the delivery of Bon's is unlivoidab - e. the demand being se great; but as interest commences from the day of subscription, no lose is occasioned, and every effort is being made to diminish the delay.

Dear Plot :—I herewith send you some pages from my Scrap-book. if you think it will amuse any of the young folks, you may print it. It was read in years agone, at an old fashioned celebration of the Twenty-second of February : WASHINGTON'S COURTSHIP There are three little epochs in Washington's life With interest for all peculiarly rife ; The expectant young mother most anxiously pries IntO the time of the birth and the state of the skies— What slat at that hour propitiously mild, Shed its soft influence over the child, And guided the band that wrote the decree— "The bravest and noblest of men shall he he." Young maidens that smile with n Mush on their check And fur n good husband quite laudably seek, Pass over his birth, and his childhood days When his greatness, itself in the future, betrays, And lingers intent o'er the tale of his love Well noting the hours he spent with his dove— Then sighs for the charms that cculd conquer a heart, The crash of proud armies had raver made start. The third of these epochs was Washington's death. 'Twas then in deep reverence the world held its breath When his death-knell was toiling humanity wept. Tl•ough the cause of their weeping unconsciously slept ;- And the hettrt of all nations was shrouded in gloom, As Liberty's Father was bourne to his tomb. Thus songs of solemnity, wit, or of mirth, Might be drawn from his courtship, his death or his birth. But the latter we leave—an appropriate lay, %%lilt all the minutia of a ehilds natal-day, For the matrons and Doetors—whoever may please, To weave into muse, at their hours of ease. And the death of that hero's a theme of too lofty flight For the muse of a novice just learning to write. Then his courtship we take as suiting our tongue, And leave till the rest again to be sung. Then let. me observe in making a start, That Georgie possessed a susceptable heart, For yet in his youth when scarcely fifteen. (The like in these days may often he seen,) He fell into love beyond head and ears, With a young lady of double his years ; And mad with this first, his puppy-love fashion Ile followed the loadings of true lovers fashion— preempt dreams that his benutywas with him nearby, But awoke disappointed to weep and to sigh— Took walks at the twilight in silence alone— Held distant converse with the "man in the moon"— Sat musing, and oft, et the edge of the tide Where the calm Indian waters so peacefully glide,. And thought , on the wavelets as - like young bride They etabt aced the white pebbles that lay at his Then pictured in fancy or thought in a dream Himself was the pebble—his beauty the wave of the stream. Thus oft he enjoyed the highest of bliss The token of love—the plighted-faith kiss. And likewise in manner of Homeric time He prayed, to Errato and scribbled in rhyme— Lovo-ditties inscribed to his clatuer so fair Describing her eyes and her beautiful hair; Then soaring away to.the blue heights above tie sought for the length and breadth of his love But in vain 'did he sigh—in vain did he sing, No response from that heart his efforts could bring From some cause or other, we cannot tell why, His passion was doomed all fruitless to die. Whether the Lady in a lady-like way Rejected the advances that George would essay, Not deignly to lend her dignified ear To the suit of a strippling of fifteen year— Or whether some rival more skilled in the game, Hail filed for that heart a previous calm, And finding some grace in the young lady's eyes, By the rights of a squatter came in for the prize, It boots me not here, neither elsewhere to show For to tell you the truth myself 1 don't know. Yet Ladies, to you I would here say a word, And lend me an - ear—please let me be heard. If suitors you have, as is doubless the case— (lt has ever been so from the first of the race,) Be slow in assenting—be slow t o deny. First study him well by the light of his eye ; And should he prove honest and upright and true, And noble of soul, and love only. you, I ask you—entreat you, by all I have sung, Never refuse him because he is young. And should you, young gents, by a lady be smitten, And she from some cause presents you a mitten— Resist the temptation to wind up your life With the poisonous cup or the suicide's knife. Take courage, remembering their's nothing more QM Than titat time will your passion entirely cure. And be cheered by another a happier thought In the sea are good fish as ever were caught." But pardon, we pray you, this early digression, And we hasten to tell you, with modest expression, Of what. a short courtship you'll doubtless consider Foreruuning the marriage of George and a " wider." When Washington found to his boyish distress, That the lady to whom ho would pay his address, Was little inclined to answer him yes, Fur reasons unknown we only can guess, He turned on his heel, with a tear in his eye, And resslved iu his heart a martyr to die— To take for his bride the whole human race, And kneeling before her with lover like grace, To offer his sword, with a chivalric air, In defence of her rights and her liberty fair. Hie resolve being taken he soon was away, Where his Country was calling the brave of the day, To repel the fierce savage who found his delight In brutally drinking the blood of the white And soon by his deeds in humanity's cause, He won a fair name and envied applause, His virtues were sung in the songs of each hearth, And a blessing implored on the day of his birth. Thus fighting our battles a hero so bold, 'Mid unbroken forests and winter so cold. He once on a time, for so we are told, Was forced to encamp in the comfortless wood, And repair to a town in the best way he could, To provide for his men some clothing and food. Be had cantered his way over many a mile, Attended alone by his Bishop the while, And Phaeton's car—with the steeds in full chase, Had completed oue-half of its diurnal race, lYhen he met with a man of considerable station, Who urged him to dine at a neighboring plantation, Offering him more than a soldierly ration. Politely he answered the gallant request•, Though slow to become the gentleman's guest. But over-persuaded he halted in fine, Conditioning thus that he might quickly dine. For duty, said he, " is calling—away." And I cannot alight, if there's any delay. Assured on this point he dismounted to wait; For a dinner, soon served in Patrician-like state. Course followed course of the dainties of life, Gotten up for the occasion by the gentleman's wife, But pleasanter far than the wines and the pies, Was a charming young widow with a pair of black OE The Colonel had fought for the rights of his land, But the seige of those peepers he couldn't withstand. Like a magnet exerting some magical power tier charms had enchained him the very first hour Yet how his brave heart was taken by storm By the beautiful face and the plump little form— How her wards to his ear, though but simple and plain, Were the notes a happy—a Heavenly strain— How the light of her eye, as the suns beaming ray, Found its way to his soul illuming its day— How he drank in her smiles as a part of the draught, When the ruby Katawby together they quaffed— Or how, in bad manners, by others unheard In the ear of his charmer he whispered a word, It was never intended that I should relate, Excepting it were in part to abate The confiding assurance, if those who prate About reason in love, as though it were wise, To talk about seeing when the boy has no eyes, Or if those who affirm with the air of the right "'Tie naught but a hoax—this love at first sight." The dinner soon over, the steed at the gate StoJci pawing and eager—unwilling to wait, But his rider for once, in a lover-like way Forgot for awhile the cares of the day, And surrendered himself with childish delight, To the warfare of lotieL--a uew kind of fight. But billing and cooing we cannot-tell why, le always accounted exceedingly dry, Whenever there chances a third party by, And thus to the lovers as often they do The moments till evening most tardily flew, And anxiously eager they awaited the hour, When Morpheus kind with his softening power, Had led the old. folks in the embrace of sweet sleep To the Kingdom of Nod—there his vigils to keep ; And then, Oh! ye lovers, imagine the bliss The parents in bed--and alone with his Miss ! What passed from that hour till the dawning of day, I'm not real certain I can truthfully say, And it needn't at. all, to you be surprising If here I should give you just merely . surmising. Whether' they courted in bon ton style, Sitting in opposite corners the while, And glibly discussing the news of the day, What such an one's dune and what other folks say, Or whether they folded the arms of circumvallatior, While discussing the affairs of this great Yankee • nation, In the style more affectionate than practiced in town, On the pages of history hos never come down. But if reason might teach when we only surmise, Her teachings would run somewhat in this wibe— From all that was not in itself democratic, His thoughts and his actions were ever erratic. We have, therefore, a right, as every one should, Assuming our premises, thus to conclude— He did up his courting in the popular way, In lovers embrace till the dawning of day. The gray streak of morn found the Colonel awake But not as yet, ready his journey to take. His policy was . in the battles of life, Never for once to depart from the strife Till the enemy's flag in the dust he laid IoW, And bore off in triumph the sword of his foe. So here in storming this gentler redoubt He faithfully carried his principles out. The Beige was a short one—three days and three nights, When the widow surrendered her natural rights, Assuming again the plighted-faith vow, No will but her lovers forever to know. The engagement thus made and the courtship thu- ended, The Colonel completed his journey intended, Admitting himself that for once in his life He had wandered from auty in seeking a wife But, lest into scenes of our festival mirth W ben we sing of his courtship and hear of his worth, The dark .boding spirit of envy be carried. We now take our leave before he is married. But ere we depart inn preseber-like way, Exhorting, entreating, we earnestly. .pray,.., That unmarried youth who, their liberty,prize, May beware of young widows with sparkling black eyes.
