Referring to the above advertisement for loan
of FIVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to the Confederate
States together with the act of Congress creating
it, the undersigned, appointed Commissioners,
give notice to the public that books of subscription
for said loan, will be opened at the Citizens Bank
Of Louisiana on the 18th of April, 1861.
Apart from other considerations, this loan offers
to subscribers high rate of interest-eigM per
cent. per dnntcno-payable semiannualy, and the
highest order of security-a special appropriation
of an export duty on cotton of one-eighth of a
cent per pound-thus presenting inducements
which cannot fail to commend the loan to public
favor as sound and profitable investment.

An amendment Of tie laws for tAc organization
