THE 1.1. 1. TWO HUNDRED MILLION
FIVE PER CENT. LOAN.
This Loan is limited to two hundred mil
lions, and is being rapidly subscribed for by
the people. A moderate portion of this amount
kas been taken fur Europe, and any reasonable
portion of the remaining ampopt that the Secre
tary of the Treasury might be willing to desig
nate, could be placed on the other side, with
or without making the interest payable in Lon
don instead of New York, can highly advant
ageous : terms, thins giving- the omnunand of a
large amount of sterling exchange (10 per
cent. better than gold, as rates are calculated
here.) through she summer loofahs. Ile has
never yet entertained such propositions for his
popular loans. Ills preference is that our own
'people should have the entire advantage of the
gold interest which they bear, or else the pre
mium on their Bonds, such as can now be b l ed
uu,,tite 5.40 s talaer4 bought for Europe. The
present object therefore, is popular diAtribu
tiou at home, at par, on five per cent. gold in
west, equal to 71 or S per cent, in currency
with gold at 150 0 160 per cent.,
The Act of Congress specially,provides that
the , Principal of these Bonds shall be paid in
gold. If paid ofl after ten years with the
economical view of re.borrowiug , at three ; or
f fur' per cent. interest—for alter the Wats of
1812 this government borrowed money in Eu
rope at three per oent.—the payment will be
made in gold.
On this and other funded stocks of the
United States, there is a specific pledge of the
Custom Revenue in gold, for the continued
payment of the interest in gold.
customs and duties, thus pledged for
the payment of the interest and gradual extinc
tion of the principal—through annual par
chases for the , sinking fund—of the funded
puhlifx debt of the United States, constitute a
system of indirect taxation, to which the peo
ple are and always have been accustomed.—
lt ,falls upon the people only in proportion
to their ability or inclination to consume foreign
wares and merchandise, upon which these du
ties are levied.' 'As the elect to fnrego the use
of foreign luxuries, so they lighten their own
burthen of the public debt, even while inveat
iug their means in at rates and on a becurity
superior to . , any other stock, for uniform and
assured income (free of loeal taxes,) in the
whole country.
The last fiscal year, to Juno 30, 1863, this
source of revenue amounted to $60,059,642.
The gold interest on the public debt then
amounted to only $24,729,846, and the priu
cipal of the old loan of 1842, 0,250,000, was
paid off in gold, in addition.
The present fiscal year, ending on the 30th
June, ‘ lB64; will show at least 40 per cent, in
crease in gold customs, say 696,683,398, on a
gross importation of less than 20 per cent. in
crease over last year. The gold interest un the
present_ funded and fundable debt, for th 3 cur
rent fiscal year, will not exceed $47,735,650,
leaving a surplus of 'newly fifty millions in
sold from customs over the specific charge for
interest upon them; part of which surplus the
Secretary has readily disposed of at 165 per
cent. for green-backs, the principal as well as
premium of which will go to the benefit of the
Sinking Fund, and to the reduction of the
currency interest on the unfunded or tempora
ry debt, such as one year certificates of in
debtedness, certificates of deposit, kc.
That this statement may not seem overdrawn,
we anex a schedule of the funded debt and
7.30 per cent. treasury notes, soon to pass into
funded debt by voluntary conversion, on which
gold interest is now being paid :

and October, into the 6 per cents of 1881,

Skirmish at Madisou Court House aid

WAstipiGToN, May 2,186.4.-..--The expedi•
tion which was sent out last week And destroy
ed Madison Court House met no itebels till
about a half mile from that ton,. A slight
skirmish then took place in which the rebels
lost five men and the Hulett soldiers pout.
The enemy then retreats 4 to the court house,
The Skip has the IWiewing further particu
lars : •
The rebels suddenly disappeared, but on
our forces entering the town they received a
volley of musketry from the windows of the
houses and they were for p time compelled to
withdraw. The officers in command of the
reconnoitering party ordered another advance
when again a destructive fire was opened upon
them from the houses and there being no other
way of smoking the rebels out orders were
issued that the town should be fired. The
torch was applied to a number of houses af
fording cover for the enemy, whereupon the
latter hastily decamped leaving our forces in
full possession of the place.
The' flames, however, spread very rapidly,
and there being no means at hand whereby the
fire could be checked, a general conflagration
was the result, and in a short time almost the
entire town was in ashes. The act was cer
tainly not. a wanton one on the part of the
Union officers, but was rendered necessary by
the dastardly act of the rebels, who used the
houses as a shelter foe the purpose of slaugh
tering our troops.
The cavalry expedition 'sent out from Vienna
on Thursday last, under the command of Col.
Lowell returned to that place yesterday, after
having visited Leesburg, Itectorville and Up
perville. Near the latter place u portion of
Mosby's guerrilla band was encountered when
a sharp fight ensued, which resulted in the
capture of twenty-three prisoners. Col. Lo

The War in North Carolina.
NORFOLK, VA., May 4,1864.—The &lump i er
Louisa Moore arrived at Fortress Monroe at
uoou to-day, bringing about twenty persons as
Tofugees, who left their homes at Little Wash.
ington, North Carolina, when that place was
evacuated last week by our forces. From them
we learn that the moving away of troops was
eornmenced on Tuesday last, and the evicua
tion was not fully completed until Stourday
noon
About this time a fire broke out in some of
the large storehouses on the wharves. A high
wind provniling at the time, it communicated
to other buildings, and soon the whole city was
wrapped in flames. The houses were nearly
all constricted of wood, and being very inflatn
triable, it is supposed that hardly one remains
standing to mark the site of the once beautiful
town. The statements regarding the origin of
the fire are conflicting. Some assert that the
crew of the gunboat Louisiana applied the
torah to prevent the Rebels from coming to,
aid others say that some of the advance of the
Rebels did tha work as they approached the
place, thirteen hundred strong, under Colonel
Kennedy, aboucan hour after the last body of
troops had left. All the Commissary stores,
ammunition, &c.,,were safely removed bofure
the evacuation.
guerrilla Attack on the Baltirnore find
Ohio Railroad.
CUMBERTAND, Nn., May 5.—A party of
sixty guerrillas, commanded by the notorious
Capt. M‘Neil, came in on Piedmont at 7 o'clock
and captured 35 horses and destroyed the ma
chine shop and all the railroad property.—
They then went to Bloomington and captured
the passenger train coming cast and a freight
train. They burned both trains and thcir
contents, except the passengers' baggage.—
About 100 unarmed soldiers were on the train
who were paroled. The passenger train which
left Baltimore last. night stopped at New Creek,
But, little damage was dope the railroad-track
and the telegraph line. The trains will be all
right to-morrow.

the schooner "3.4 f ssee" in taw with a battery
of the Ist U. S. Artillery on, board, and set
sail with a Atte wind and smooth sea. All the
men were in fine spirit, but on the following
morning the sea was changed from that at a
lively throng to a dullness,, caused by sea sick

the 17th, where we lay at anchor a few hours
when we were ordered to sail. We galled up
York River thirty eight miles, when we drop
ped anchor in front of Yorktown. Tiie
ment then disembarked and marched holf a
mile s where we put op for the night. It was
not long until the men who were not wo detail
had turned in, and taking, their much needed
rest. The next morning the camp was fitted
up, and then all the tatio who were not too
much fatigued set down to let their friends at
home know of the ellauge. 141 the while troops
are leaving the DeFartutent of the South and
are being replaced by colored troops, and the
impression is that hereafter the colored troops
will he sent to the south and the white troop,s
will he kept in a northern climate.
Troops are arriving here daily, and now there
is alieut forty thousand wen here, and I thiok
the number will be swelled to one hundred
thousand men before the army will advariee

come in contact with the rebels, for they arc
intrenched only seven wiles from our
Deserters are arriving within our lines OVOTY
day. They report some dissatisfaction in their
army on account of short rations and bad cloth

quiet the murmurs of the army by promiging
to carry the war iuto pe q nsylvania this spring,
but they got too niqah ikreade at Gettysburg
and this time they wight get a Gill-niore,

Guerrillas are in:the wends a few miles Iran

troops fall the victiwa of that band. 4 few
days ago a squad of top men were seqt got to
the woods, to cut weocl, and when they were
engaged they were surprised by a party ;wipe
their number, and before they could gaiti pos
session of their firma they received a volley ffem
the enemy which disabled several of the party,
and the rest were captured and carried away.
As soon as the news came to the knowledge of
General Gillinore venting party was sent ip

and their captors, hat the party had tiuc.

this porting of the army is well fitted -got Fp]
