McMullen's HowitZsr battery and Snvder's

CHARLESTON, 18th February, 1861.
The Legislature having, at its late ses.
sion, authorized the Issue of Bonds to the
amount OF s675,0oO, bearing an interest of
secen per cent, for the purpose of providing
the funds required to sustain the State in
the act of resuming her rights of sovereign.
ty, this Bank is now prepared to dispose of
the Bonds. They are issued in sums of
$50, 800, and $500. An opportunity is
thus afforded every citizen to make secure
and profitable Investment, while contribu-
ting aid to the cause in which the State is
engaged. With the view of enabling cit,.
zens in any part of the State to share in
the Loan, the Clerks Of the Courts of the
several districts have been required to open
books of subscription for the Stock. Sui-
table arrangements will be made for furn.
ishing the Bonds on the receipt of the mon
ey, at an early day after each subscription.
has been made. Engagements for the pur.
chase of Bonds may be made at the Bank,
or at any Of its Branches. II 10 probable
that, at the next Session ofthe Legislature,
those parties who desire il may have their
Bonds converted into Stock.
