1t will be seen by the above that the authorities of
the Confederate States have taken prompt measures
for maintaining the credit of the government 1t de-
ponds upon the people to stand up to the government
and subscribe literally to the loan of ten millions now
offered being the balance OF the loan of $l5,000000,
authorized by the act of the Confederate Congress
proved February 28th 1861 OF the loan SO authori-
zed FIVE million was then called for and only that much
accepted although far more was then offered.
This loan bears an interest of eight per cent In ad
don to the general faith and credit of the government,
it ia further secured by special tax of oneeghth
OF cent per pound upon all cotton exported from the
Confederate States. This is calculated to produce q
revenue of two million dollars per annum enough to pay
the interest promptly and provide for the principal be-
fore It shall become payahe-in ten years from Septem-
Der, 1861.
IF ANYTHING be of value in the Confederate States this
loan is If any investment be good one, this loan
offers cool investment If any object be patriotic
one, the object for which the money is sought to be
raised by this loan is patriotic 1t is to support
the Confederate States
If the government is MOI supported the Confederate
States are not defended, what ask will the wealth
of the wealthy the capital of the capitalist be worth
Let Lincons til of cOnscaons that question
Nothing! The government cannot be supported nor
the war carried On without money. There IS mon
ey if it will only come out. This article will reach
counties where nothing has been subscribed to
the Confederate loan. 1t will be read by Of
ed wealth-nen with disposabIe means who have
subscribed nothing. We only ask them to ponder
over the facts of the case and let their actions speak for
their patriotism
The loan be taken in sums ranging from fifty
dollars up to one thousand dollars, bonds for which will
be delivered by the State local Commissioners of

yesterday received Geographic dispatch from Gen
Huger, at Norfolk, informing the Governor that fleet
of two steam figaes eight armed vessels and number
of other craft had left Old Point on the previous day.
MONDAY last and steered for the South The Regis
ter says "the coast of this State is in all probability
the point on which the fleet is to operate"
We presume they are coming down this way for the
purpose of filling up small inets with old craft
which it is said the Lincolnites have bought up and
stolen from the Maryanders for that purpose Let them
rip.
P. S.-We have been shown an official dispatch,
which states that the feet consisted of two rgaes and
two large steamers with eight small steamers in tow
that they had sailed Southwark and their suppos-
