ie THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERATE LoAN.-The
al $l5,00o,o00 loan, ordered by the Congress
of the Confederate States, has not been ta-
- ken, nor have any opportunities been offered
- for taking It, The Government has refused
:, the large bills of capitalists, and adhered to
the original plan of distributing it among the
:, people. The Montgomery corr espondent OF
- the Charleston Courier gives the following
, information concerning it
= The bonds authorized by Congress for the
70 support of the Government have not been
n issued yet though the applications made for
-, them have been very numerous. It is quite
:. certain that they viii not remain upon the
- market for ten days. Parties in New Orleans
- are desirous of taking up ten millions at a
wv premium OF two per cent, and application
- was made for the same amount by persons
99o wishing TO invest them in the establishment
of Cotton Bank in London. This offer has
been rejected, and it appears to be the de.
IN sire of the Secretary that the bonds should
rts circulate amongst ous people at large, in or
As, der TO give them the best opportunity
rst for an investment of extraordinary security
ST. and profit. In agreeance with this design
the minimum bords have been placed at fifty
m- dollars SO as to bring them within the react
of of pour as well as rich men. The pol
,ck icy of thus distributing them is especially
ges conmendable, as it wthdrays them from
the limits of speculation. 1t is universally
er- agreed among financietS that had loan o
,ps fifty millions been in process of negotiation
ale it would have been easily affected upon tn
same terms. The great interest manifesto
by leading mercantile men in this in estmen
'es. and the entire confidence exhibited by then
The is fair index to the manner of raising futur
md funds for Government purposes.
