treasurer of this stale offers the bonds of
the State OF Illinois, having twenty years
to run, bearing six per cent, interest. and
each for the sum of one hundred dollars,
at the low rate of ninety cents OIL the dollar.
This is equal to an Investment at seven
per cent, aud no such opportunity for safe
investment has occurred or will be likely..to
occur for many years Any person having
ninty dollars can purchase one of these
bonds, and draw interest semi,anually ut
the rate of seven per cent. The security
for the principal and interest is the state
OF Illinois. its lands, tenemerts and taxables
of every description. No safer investment
can be thought of and no better or more
convenient one was ever offered.

WASHINGTON, Oct. An arrival from
Richmond says the rebel treatment OF prison
ers is very bad, and especially since the late
escapes The most brutal of the officers was
Captain Todd, Mrs Lincoln's brother, who
would kick the dead bodies of our men, call,
ing them damned abOlitionists and his deprav-
ity at length, in this respect, brought charges
against him by other rebel officers, and he was
detailed for other duty. Gen. Winder was also
very brutal to prisoners.
A discharged prisoner from Richmond states
that rebel commission had been appointed by
Jeff Davis to examine into the cases of per-
sons confined rs prisoners, who were found
within their lines without permission. lie
saws they discharged him Messrs. Harris
and Magraw were also acquitted, but Walker
having gone out Of office, Benjamin, now act
ing as secretary of war, refused to act III the
case of Harris and Magraw. The matter re-
mains unsettled. He states that 900 prisoners
were sent to New Orleans Congressman Ely
has been sent to Castle Pinckney.
Mr.. Davis, late policeman at Charleston,
was sent to Nashville tor prisoner, and
managed to get into Kentucky, thence to
Washington. He left Charleston on the 18th
of September, at which time there were 800
men on SulIivan's Island and 1000 at Fort
Sumter Sand batteries were being erected
for the protection of the city at all points
The quarters OF the Union prisoners in Castle
Pinckney are more comfortable than at Rich
mond There is considerable sympathy among
tn. Irish in G larleston for Col Corcoran, but
they dared not show it.
In consequence of the pressure of public
business, the secretary Of war will hereafter
leave all letters marked private unopened

ed to steady the ship while this was rectitied,
but found to his surprise that the ship would
NOT answer the helm. The fact was, though
it was not known at the time, the rudder-pln
was broken. The forestry sail was run up,
but the wind Immediately split it into ribbons.
The fore try sail was then run up, but 1t was
blown away. The paddle engines were now
stopped and the boats ordered TO be cut away,
when the Great Eastern once more started on
her course The passengers then went down
to dinner, and from that moment commenced
a chaos Of breakages which lasted without in
Permission for three days. Everything break
able was destroyed. Furniture, fittings,
services of plate, glasses, pianos-all were
involved in one common tate. IL now be-

force. These having been secured, another
start was made, when tremendous grinding
was heard under the paddle boxes, which had
become twisted, aud the floats were grinding
against the side OF the ship. The paddles
were stopped, and thenceforward the scene is
described as fearful in the extreme. The ship
rolled so violently that the boats were washed
away. The cabin, besides undergoing the
dangers arising from the crashes and collisions
which were constantly going on, had shipped,
