From the Appeal the People OF the United States, by
Hon. s. P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury
Your national Government, compelled by a
guilty conspiracy, eliminating in causeless in
surrection is engaged in for T. e security Of
liberty, for the supremacy of law, for the defense
of the Union and for the maintenance of popular
institutions. For the means to defray the neces-
sary expenses of this your Congress has di
rected that an appeal be made to you, by opening
a subscription to a national loan of one hundred
and fifty millions of dollars. Already the en-
| lightened and patriotic capitalists OF the great
| cities of New York, Philadelphia and Boston have
manifested their clear sense. both OF duty and in
terest by a subscription of $1,000 600. Con-
gress under which the subscription was received,
wisely proyided however, that the advantages as
well as the patriotic satisfaction of participation
in this loan shall be offered not to the capitalists
of the great cities only, but to the people OF the
whole country. In order TO secure a substantial
reward for their public spirit to those whose pa
triotism prompts them in this hour of trial to
place their means at the disposal of the Govern
ment, Congress has directed that interest of
81 0ths per centum be paid on the several
amounts subscribed and interest not liable TO
State taration, but constituting for subscribers
revenue not only certain in receipt, but greater IN
amount than can be expected from any ordinary
investment W
tunities ofpart cipaton in these advantages, Con-
gress has further directed that subscriptions be
received for sums as small $50, as well as for
large amounts, End that, should the subscriptions
exceed the whole sum desired. the smaller be
preferred in its distribution. Each subscriber, on
payment of his subscription, will be entitled to
receive Treasury notes, equal in amount to such
denominations as he may prefer, whether of $50, |
500, $500, 81 900, or 5000. The interest at
3-l0ths per annum will be on the notes of $50, |
one cent; on 500. two cents on $500, ten cents;
on 81 900, twenty cents, and on S., 900, one dol
lar each day. All the treasury notes issued will
bear date on the 18th of August. 1861, and will
carry interest from that date. Each note viii |
have coupons attached. expressing the several |
amounts of semi annual interest, which coupons
may be detached from the notes and presented
for payment separately. Each subscriber may
pay the whole amount subscribed at the time of /
subscription, or, if he prefers to do so. may pay /
one-tenth at that time, and one third every TWEEN
tieth day thereafter. At each payment, the ac-
crued interest ON the amount from the 18th of |
August to the date of payment must also be |
paid, and the amounts of interest thus paid will |
be reimbursed in the payment of the first coupon. |
In order to secure, beyond peradventure, the |
punctual pay ment of the interest, and the gradu-
al reduction Of the principal, Congress has pro-
vided by law for an annual revenue amply suffi- |

Your earnest attention is invited to the oppor-
tunity pow offered of aiding the General Govern
ment in the suppression of the existing rebellion,
by making a safe and profitable investment in
her Treasury notes, bearing $40 per cent. in
terest, to be issued in sums of $50, or upwards,
to every citizen applying.
These notes, for the payment of which the
whole property of the country is bound, and
ample provision made for the interest half yearly,
fall due in three years; but one year ago even
the fire per cent United States stocks were Gboue
par, il is manifest that speedily after this rebel
lion is overcome, is certain TO be, they will be
easily disposed of at good advance above their
face In the meantime they are not subject to
United States or State tax.
An appeal to the whole people is made by the
Secretary of the Treasury, (mOst of which is
published below for their purchase of these
notes. and the first response thereto in subscribing
for 500 note was made by Z. p. Wallace, a
shoemaker, in Massachusetts,.
The reliance of the Government for speedily
conquering an honorable peace is as much on
every loyal citizen furnishing portion of his
MEANS as it is on loyal volunteers offering theiI
lives. A general investment, even in small
sums will carry the Government through sue
cessfully.
Books for receiving your subscriptions for th'
purchase of such Treasury notes, will be opened
on the first Monday (the 7th) of October next, a
the Office of the Bank Of the State of Indiana, a
indianapolis, and closed on Wednesday, the 23d
Books will also be opened at several of tn,

from Western Virginia. He says: General Rev.

shown himself in every movement so prudent and
skillfu. that he possesses the entire confidence of
his men. He has held his difficult post with mas
terly ability and so improved its defenses that he
has made Western Virginia safe from any at
tack in his direction. He has Gone the State
credit, and himself such honor as his friends may
be proud of We have always felt great conf

emergency. and 50 far he has done so.n Mr..
Cotton is full of praises of the General and
thinks that in his remote position he has received
too little of the attention and applause Of the

From the publication Of this letter, and the cir

raised howl against Mr.. B., and sought to ere

An old friend of his in this city where he was
reared, addressed him a letter the subject, and
We are this day permitted to publish his reply; it
shows that he is, what he always has been, true
patriot and far seeing statesmen; for there can
be no question, that when the excitement of tue

his views are true and sound.

appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer of the 18th

be from you to Hon. JEFF. Davis, introducing to
his acquaintance Mr.. Thos B. Lincoln, &c. If
you wrote this letter, of which MANY of your
