captured by Admiral Farragut.

OF
"THE NIGGER" AND KENEDY.
We are. informed that a fund is bc

of placing a monument over the body of the
.negro deserter —Holmes, who was shot
wttie in the act of desertion frcm this place,
O few weeks ago. The honor of leading ir.
this enterprise belongs to the pot gutted
parsoo, Jacob Kenedy of Eaon, the place to
Wbieh the negro escaped and whore he was
killed. The sum of fttlU is said to have been

Was, in this place, bung up the side of that of
theimmortal Washington's is bkely to pale
before the increasing spk-n ler of the perjur
ed negro deserter, George Holmes. 'ihe
.Saviour had his apostle Paul. This negro
of the abolitionists, has his apostle
-Jacob. We wish it to be distinctly under
stood that we do not wish to divert the af
. factions of the pot bellied parson nor any of
Of hi# co-workers, from the nigger. Tbey
are joined to their idols and we will let thsm
alone. Bat there should he a fitness, a pro
priety in all things. We are told that, in the
fame place where Holmes is buried, are the
feinaina of a revolutionary soldier— a patriot
of'Td, whose grave has not even a s'orie to
mark the the spot. That the place of inter
■meat, if it ia kuown at all, exists only in the
memories of a few gray-haired men, who will
•oonitake up their abode with him. Tbe
graves of thousands of our brave soldiers who
have fallen within the past three yens are
to-day without a stone to mark the spst
••d will remain so to the end of time. This
aealoos apostle if he chooses, may find many
auch within the circuit of his ministerial
peregrinations.
Sioce the present deplorable war, in the
dead of winter the news came to this town,
from the town iu which he resides that the
child of a sold >er had died from exposure
and want. A subscription was started hare.
Money, provisions, shoos, dresses and other
articles of clothing were Ireeiy given (pnnci
• those whom the pious Jacob weekly
denounced as copperheads and traitors.)—
yfwo copperhead women, with a copperhead
t®"" carried these things to the houtu ol
(death. A scene of destitution and want
nSQcb as tbey never before beheld, met their
•yea. In a house through which the cold
piercing winds of winter whistled, the sol
diere wife—the bereaved mother—surround
ed by her remaining little ones, told them
the etorj of their sufferings. llow the feet
of her dead child were frozen, how mortifi
cation ensued, and how death came to the
relief )( the little sufferer.
. *
That mother and those children still live
within a few minutes walk of the ' Loyal"
pursy parson's house. We venture the in
sertion that they havs not a pound ofcual nor
an aitnful of wood for the long cold winter
which will soon be upon them. W e dai
assert too, that this negro worshipping apos
tlfe never darkened the door of that lowly
abode with his pcrtl y figure—and that he
■ever will, as long as there is a dead nigger
in the ground or a live one out of it, upon
whieh be can bestow his tar ecu eharitie*

• Ihe fin# residence of Dr. Thomas, living

STEVENS AGAINST LlNCOLN,—Thaddetis
j Stevens has lately taken occasion to declare,
; without disguise, that, '-if the Republican
party desire to succeed they must drop L'n
( coin and nominal* a new uian." He regards
j '*o.d Abe" as the very worst kind of u tail
, tire. Mr. Stevens, had as his political aute
cedents are, is entirely to shrewd not to
j recognize the (act thai Lincoln is doomed to
inevitable defeat. He, therefore, ha 3 openly
declared himself in favor of holding a third
Abolition Convention. Straws shows which
i way the winds blows, unci Thud. Stevens is
oue bf Ihe hiKget straws ill the Abolition
; L\rii-yard.— Luncas er Intelligencer.
Lo the poor and holy negro ! hovr rapidly
i and grand his advance to civil nation, VVe

and now we propose to buy and sell him,—

Tha Siv#u Thlrtlea What are Tiuy, " ,
W# (ruit that a iarge portion of cur read
ara hare pondered the Appeal of Mr. Fessen- i
den, cur new Secretary tf Treasury, The j
purport ef it is that the People of the U. S., •
acting as a body through lhair agent the
Governmeat, with individuals to lond them
two hundred millions of dollars for three
years, at sevea and three tenths per cent
annual interest, payable every six months
For this they offer Tn-ashry Notes—that is,
in reality, notes d'aan and endorsed by ev
ery man in the country. The loan is wanted
for a great national purpose, to effect which
every man, unless he be a traitor at heart, if
not n act, is solemnly pledged.
The Appeal is addressed not merely to a
flaw gaeat capitalists, hut also to the many •
whose aggregate means constitute the mass j
•f the wealth of tie land. The notes upon
which this loan is asked are from §SO up -
ward. Every man who has fifty dollars can
take part in this loan* Apart from patriot
ism and a duty which all owe to tneir coun
try, no investment is so desirable as tins.
It is secure. Every dollar dollar of every
man's property is pledged for the punctual
i payment of the interest, and of the debt
when due. The security is increasing.
For some tears before the war we were
earning 100 millions a yoar m ire than we
spent. During the three years of the war.
owing to "he high prices and constant demand
! for labor, we have earned more than ever In*-
! fore. No man who could or would werk
J has hem idle ; and, except for the war. we
j have spoilt less than hefore. Total valua
j tioii of the property of the I'm ted S'at-s.
, according t > the census of 18dU, ivn> §1 0 150
j OC'O (X) 0, of which §10057 did.oso wis ii the
I Loyal Slates. Tins valuation, according to
the usual rule of assessment, was ant ui iv
than two-thirds of the actual cash value of
; tiie property. Tne increase of propertv in
: the Loyal Spates during the last ten years
was over 120 per c>*nt. ,for an average <>t 12
610 per cent, per annum. In three years <>
1 the war, we of the U. 8 have eoriaitny earn
led 300 millions more than we have spent
j apart Irora the war The Cost ot the war may
jbe set down at 2000 millions. Deducting
| this from our net ear ongs The IV-opie who
are security lor this loan are one thou-.au I
millions richer to day than they were wuen
ttie waf broke out.
No other investment can be s easily c >u
vertible* The man who lias a Trea-urv note
j for §SO. or §IOO, or 150 can turn it into
| money ino p e leadily, and up-n heiier !rsi-,
• than.if it were invested up m bond an 1
t
| mortgage,or in railroad stocks,
i The interest offered is higher than en be
i rlalized from any other sate and convertible
! investment. IT IS, moreover, readily collect
able when due. To each noe are ax tiie d fi.e
"coupons," or xntereat tickets, due at the ex
pcation of each successive had year* Th •
holder of a note has simply to en*, off one if
these coupons, present it at the nearest bank
or Government Ageey, and receive his inte
rest ; tke note itself need not be presented a'
all. Or a coupon thus payable w.d every
where be equiVa'ent. wden due, to mme v.
Thus, while this loan presents great ad
vantages to large capitalists, it offers special
inducements to those who wish to make a
safe and profitable investment of small saving
It is in every way the best Sivrgs' Bank ;
for every institution of this kin i must some
how invest its deposits profitably m order to
pay interest and expenses. Tn>y will in
vest largely in this loin, as the best invest
ment. But from the gross interest
• which they receive they must deduct
l largely for the expenses of tne Bank. Their
i mr J rate of interest alio we I t . depontn rs
lis 5 jier cent, upon sums over §5 )0. The
i person who invests directly witii Govern
inent will receive alum- r 50 per cent. more.—
Thus the titan who dep SIOUO in private
Savings' Hank receive# st>d<>llai a year in
terest ;if he deposit* the same sum in thi
National Savings' Bank he receives 73 dollars.
For those who wish to find a safe, convenient
and profitable means of investing the surplus
learnings which they have reserved for their
| their old age or for the benefit of their ehil.
i eren, there isnothing which present* so many
j advantages as this National Loan.
It is convertible into a six per cent, gold
bearing bond. At the expiration of throe
years a holder of the notes of the 7.30 I ivi
has the option of accepting payment in foil or
of funding hie notes in a six per cent, gold
interest h md, the pr ae.pil payable in not
less than tire nor more than twenty vea.-s
frimf this date as the Government may elect.
F 'r six months past, these bonds hare rang
ed at an average premium of about eight p-r
Cent, in the New Y-.ra market, and have s--ld
at 109 to day, (Aug. 12 h.) iliu* making the
real rate of interest ov-r ten per cent : and
beside, t-i make the nduccmen t even greater.
Congress by -jx-cia! Ac ex uipis its Treasury
