GLORIOUS NEWS,—The news we pub
lish to-day is of a 'nest cheering character.
It appears that the rebels have been compell
ed to abandon even Charleston, the birth
place of treason, to Yankee occupation, This
is a further evidence of the tottering condi
tion of the Confederacy, which will be bails
ed with general rejoicing' throughout the •
loyal States. The • news was received here
with the ringing of bells and other tam:life&
tattons of joy.
YES SIR !—All' small bills should now
be promptly paid. They are quite as likely
to be neglected as large ones, because peo
ple feel that they are not of much import
ance, and 'can be paid at any time; but iu the
aggregate they are ofgreat importance. In
many kinds of trade the bulk of the receipts
is in comparatively small sums, as in the
printing business for instance. Let the small
bills be punctually paid; and the large ones
will take care' of themselves, for it is upon
th© small bills that many a tradesman er
(Amnia depends to pay the larger ones 'he
owes. This is the eat) with the printer—
especially with us.

Their value is fixed and reliable, beyond all

ITS LIBERAL INTEREST —The general Inter
of interest is six per cent., payable annually.
This is seven and three.tenths, payable semi
annually. If you lend on mortgage, there
must be a searching of titles, lawyers' fees,
stamp duties and delays, and you will finally
have returned to you only the same kind of
money you would receive from the Govern
ment, and less of it. If you invest in' this I
loan, you have no trouble. Any bank or
banker will obtain it for you without charge.

It is convertible into a six per cent. gold

years a holder of the notes of the 7-30 Loan
has the option of accepting payment in full
or of funaing his notes in a six per cent. gold
interest bond, the principal payable in not
less than five, nor more than twenty years
from its date, as the Government may 'elect.
These bonds are held at such a premium as
to make 'this privilege now worth two or
three per cent. per annum, and adds so much
to the interest. Notes of the same class, is

rate that fully proves the correctness of this

ITS EXEMPTION FROM STATE OR AIONI
COAL TAXATION.—But aside front all the
advantages we have enumerated, a special
Act of Vongresa exempts all bonds and Treas.
ury notes from local taxation. On the av
erage this exemption is worth about two per
cent. per annum, according to the rate of tax
ation in various'parts of the country.
IT IS A NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK.—
While this loan presents great advantages to
large capitalists, it offers spacial inducements
to those who sifts") to make a safe and profita
ble investment of small savings. It is in ev
ery way the best Savings' Bank; for every
institution td this kind must somehow invest
its deposits profitably in order to pay inter
el.t and expenses. They will invest largely
in this loan, as the best investment. But
from the gross interest which they, receive,
they must deduct largely for the expenses of
the Bank: Their 'usual rate of interest al
lowed to depositors is 5 per cent, upon sums
over $500.* The person who invests direct
-1 with Government will receive - almost 50
TUE HIGHEST MOTIVE —The war is evi
dently drawing to a close, but while it lasts
the Treasury must have money to meet its
cost, and every motive that patriotism can
inspire should induce the people to supply
its wants without delay. The Governu3eut
can buy cheaper for cash in hand than on
credit. Let us see that its wants are prompt ,
ly and liberally satisfied.
COME TO GRlEF.—Nassau has come to
grief. The capture of Fort Fisher, and the
possession of the 'water approaches to Wil
mington, have brought the prosperous career
of that famous rebel rat-hole to a sudden
stop.. Its occupation, like that of Othello,
is gone. Its towering hopes of greatness
have been brought low. No more princely
fortunes-made - out of contrabans: trade—no
more rendezvous for fleets of Clyde-built
clippers—no more reticle; iog of aid and emu
fort to blockade bound Secessimists..

NEW YORK, - Feb. 21.—The steamphip

morning. Purser McManus furnishes us
with the following memoranda:
Charleston was evacuated by the'enemy
on the night of the 17th, leaving the several
fortifications uninjured, besides two hundred
guns, which had been spiked. The evacua
tion was first discovered at Fort Moultrie, on
the morning of the 18th, at ten A. M. Part
of the troops stationed at James Island cross
ed over in boats and took, possession of the
city without opposition, the upper part of
the city being on fire.
Previous to the enemy evacuating they fir
ed the upper part of the city, by which six
thousand bales of cotton were burned, and
it is supposed that before they could subdue
it. two.thirds of the city would be destroyed.
