TheNnfionnILoun,

The eastern papers show that since the
invasion Of South Carolina there is q fresh
run for the Treasury notes. People are
pouring in their gold. They nov see that
lhs great investment is the only really pro-
6table and secure diSPOSitloa they can
make Of their money.
Mr. Lamb, the agent here, rePOrts.seVer-
al thousand dollars taken by our people.
And We are glad to know that the time for
making his returns isextended, 80 tbat ey-
err one heareabouts can have an oPPOrtu-
nifty TO invest.
so people seem 70 invest more readily
In the National LOau than the agents them
selves, aud the leading monied men who
know better than others what constitutes
a safe and profitable application Of their
funds. As We have before stated, Mr..
Lamb took $4,000, weeks ago. when he had
to send to New York to buyitI and when,
in addition, he had TO pay seven per cent.
for par funds 70 buy treasury notes with
Wei that C. u. Reed, the agent up At
Washington, Pa, took $1,000 worth: that
the Franklin Bank there took $4,000
worth, and that numbers Of other Promi-
nept citizens Of the county, such as the
Brownies, took from one 70 two thousand
dollars.
No country ever paid its citizens so
we'll and 50 promptly As The United
States. In England the poor man
is well content to gets per cent interest
on his money, and glad to get the Govern
ment 70 take It At that In this country,
every man Who has ffty dollars or up
wards to invest, gets I and s-lo per cent
interen-gets it paid semi-aunually, and
in addition, is not taxed for it an 9th
er Investments bat this alone, are subject
to TAXATION.
As We write this article, we learn from
Heu York that the Banks there have taken
City millions more of the loan. This is
really a grand spectacle in the eyes of the
world. Here We are, great nation, car
rying on the greatest civil war on record:
the people maintaining the greatest export
trade known in their hiStOry-draWing
coin from other nations by every arrival,
and investing that coin in carrying ont
great rebellion.
History will dwell elOquently upon the
spectacle. And well she may. Half a
million men in arms; the trade Of the
country going on ProsPetousIy; the people
paid high prices for defending their liber-
ties-paid muniscebt rates for every arti-
Gle the Government buys of them aud for
all she borrovs Of them she returnsit again
with the highest interest ever paid by any
nation.

Is striking contrast to the bitter hatred
and uuwomnnly feroeity displayed by
many Of the ladies Of the South, is the
Christian charity and fOrgfvtng disposition
that mark the acts and conversation of the
daughters Of the Northern States. While
our faith in woman's purity is shocked by
the accounts Of the language and conduct
Of the female rebels Imprisoned few
weeks siaee in Washington, and Of the in
suits offered 70 our soldiers in Baltimore,
in Virginia, and in Missouri, by those
whose sex alone protected them from de-
served punishment, and our confidence in
WomAn's tendencies weakened by the
awful wishes for the fate OF our troops
expressed by many of the Southern WOm-
en-, it is with heartfelt relief that we
turn to the kind forbearance that soft
ems and beauties the jealous patri-
otiEm Of the women Of the free
States. As representing the sentiments OF
ardent attachment 10 the Union, aud free
dom from reyengeful passions which char
acterize our patriotic sisters, We quote a
few lines from the correspondence of a
lady whose moral instincts are evidently
as correct as her heart is warm aud loyal.
az believe" says our fair correspondent,
.'that we are IN the right, and consequent
" must conquer. 1 have some very bard
feelings toward the leaders of this great
rebellion, and sometimes wish could help
them .shufHs on this mortal coil : but
then l remember Him who has said 'Ven-
geance is mine, will repay and rest
assured that in His good time they shall
have their reward" Such, we have rea-
sou to believe, are the sentiments of all
those in this section Of our country whose
sex we have ever been, taught to honor
and revere.

the scene of q severe struggle, is situated
about ten miles from Cumberland Ford, in
Tennessee, aud has been celebrated for a
century as a great depression in the noun

from New Hampshire to North Alabama.

in the Rocky Mountains, formerly the emf
grants from Virginia and North Carolina
passed on Their way to the virgin wilds of
the West. For half century thousands
upon thousands poured through this nat

from the Atlantic slopes. Boone, Keutou
and their pioneer eo1ftsrss first entered the
land of ''eane turkey" over the pre-Adam-
tie turnpike. Itreally forms to this hour
the best aud, in fact, the only practicable
road for the transportation of troops and
heavy munitions of war from East Tennes-
see into Kentucky.

There was q season OF great rejoicing

for any title to any piggers Smith had
ever had, or might ever have. Another

Victory on AN sIdss--Ehs Hsbelliol


What a change In the aspect Of the Re

shsrt week. The splendid and decisive
victory At Beaufort the grand achieve

Kentucky; and nov. The ERE in the rear of
the rebels In Tennessee, BY the simulta-
neous destruction of numerous bridges
upon their main line Of communication

Oh, with the most disastrous eheets--
This last event We regard as quite IS
important As the victory at Beaufers.
We have thus at once striking mani-
festatinu OF q living and active Union
/ sentiment IN the rebel States, and DEM
onstration of the undiminished power of

should be lost in sending such powerful re-
Inducements 70 Kentucky as will drive the
rebel Zollieoffer through the Cumberland
Gap, and enable the national forces to
gladden. the eyes of East Tennessee with
the sight of the old flag by which they
have stood with such devoted and IN.
shaken fidelity. Let the Union forces be

the Appalachian chain which stretches
from the Cumberland Gap across Tennes-

RedOubled activity and yigor should now

service. RTery movement should be con

blows should Rain desfR thick and fast.

people must also come up actively TO the
work. Money is an all-importanl element
Now. The new loan which now rapidly
appreciates, should be In active demand

Government or the ultimate and speedy
supremacy of the old United States Where
, else in the world is there such safe and
. profitable investment as the securities OF
that Government Securities AS solid as
the foundations of the earth, and interest
at almost seven and half per cent.

Should the brunt of the war in the cot
ton States fall upon South Carolina, it
would be poetic sequel to the secession
campaign. South Carolina has always
been odiOus to the Southern States. Her
politicians have been regarded as arrogant,
domineering and exaeting, especially 10
Virginia, Louisiana, Alabama and Missis-
sippi. Mr. Calhoun was looked upon IN
these States as the embodiment of an inn
practicable and uureasoning statesman,
aud if our troops should ravage that State,
seize upon its political and commercial
capitals, destroy its railroads, and make it
the great winter quarters of the Southern
army. rely spon it that the people of the
other cotton States will not regard the
event with extreme sorrow.
