The National Loan
We are glad to hear from the agent that
the National Loan. as opened in Wheeling,
Is starting OF well. Mr. John Zoeeklrr,
Of PuItou, We believe beads the list with
$500 Another gentleman, out Of town
Just AZ present, has told the agent to count

not less or business shrewdness than
hearty patriotism. From all quarters the
news reaches us by our exchanges that the
popular demand for the SHtional loan in-

loyal aud conservative have already begun

willing TO resist the mighty influence o.
combined fashion, patriotism, safety and
profit which exalt the National loan, at
this time, above everything else Of similar
character and siauncbness. Beyond
doubt, the popular subscriptions now ezi
coed the eurrent expenses Of Government,
say eight millions of dollars per week.

foreign agents on their own responsibility.
