Convention Between the COnfeder-
ate States Of America and the
State of Missouri.
Whereas, Ut is the common desire
Of the Confederate States of America
and the State Of Missouri, that said
State should become a member Of the
Confederacy; and whereas, the ac~
complishment Of their purpose is now
prevented by all armed invasion of
the territory of said State by the
United States; and whereas, the in
terests of both demand that they
should make common cause in the
war waged by the United States
against the liberties of both:
Now, therefore, for these most de-
sirable objects, the President of the
Confederate States Of America has
conferred full powers on Il. NJ. T..
Hunter, their Secretary of State, and
the Executive power Of the State of
Missouri on Edward Darlington Ca
bell and Thomas l.. Snead, who. af-
ter having exchanged their full pow
ers in due and proper form, have
agreed to the following articles:
ART. l. TheState of Missouri shall
be admitted into said Confederacy on
an equal footing with the other States
composing the same, on the fulfill
ment of the conditions set forth in
the second section Of the act of the
Congress Of the Confederate states'
entitled can act to aid the State Of
Missouri in repelling invasion by the
United States, and to authorize the
admission of said State as member
of the Confederate States of America,
and for other purposes, approved
August 90, 1861.
ART. 2. Until said State of Mis-
souri, shall become member Of said
Confederacy, the whole military force,
material of war and military opera
tions, offensive and defensive, Of said
State, shall be under the chief con-
troll and direction Of the President of
the Confederate States, ppon the
same basis, principles and footing as
if said State were now and during
the interval a member of said Con-
federacy-the State force, together
with that of the Confederate States,
to be employed for the common de-
fence.
ART. 3. The State of Missouri
will, whenever she becomes a MEM
Der of said Confederacy, turn over to
said Confederate States all the public
property, naval stores and munitions
Of war of which she may tEen be in
possession, acquired from the United
States-excepting the public loan
on the same terms and in the manner
as the other States of said Confed-
eracy have done in like cases.
ART. 4. All expenditures for the
prosecution Of the existing war, in
Cured by the State Of Missouri from
aud after the date Of the signing Of
this Convention, shall be met and
provided for by the Confederate
States.
ART. 5. The alliance hereby made
between the said Confederate States
and the State OF Missouri, shall be
offensive and defensive, and shall be
and remain in force during the exist

A PATRIOTIC Joan.

The immediate wants OF the Treasury being
supplied by the loan Just effected, we have time
to look ub0ut and see what nc3t. And TIE fact
that Stock which will be worth ten per cent.
premium within q few months has been taken at
fifteen per cent DISCOUNT, settles the question
against any more dealings Of that sort. We can
get money faster, more abundanty, and on far
better terms by direct appeal to the Popular
Masses.
Millions Of dollars lie sFell-bcund in cracked
teapots and old stockings which will be gladly
loaned to the United States if proper means are
employed and proper Inducements held out. The
recent experience of France in tie agony of the
Crimean War is most instructive aud encourag-
ing One Hundred and Fifty Millions of Dollars
were reldiy, eagerly lossed to the Government
in crisis Of general depression, most Of it b.
the working classes-nearly all by poor men.
We proJ osc that ct each Custom-iIousc (or
Sub-Treasury) and Post-Ofice throughout the
patriot Stotes list be forthwith opened for sub
scrptious 10 Patriotic Loan Of One Hundred
Millions Of Dollars, bearing annual interest Of
ten per cent, and redccmablc after two years at

bids are accepted, and then lot arrangements be
made for an exchange Of the certificates for coin

against fraud or lofs.
OF course, 80 great lean will not be fully
taken up in moment, but it will not only be

and be welcome remittance TO any point in

II We should ever need funds abroad, such Ger
tificates would be eagerly caught up and boarded
in Europe.
IL will BE- said that the rate Of interest We
'uggest is high; but consider that, tho moment
his tresron is crushed, the Governmeu, can Dor.
TOW. any amount at five per cent, and probably
legotiate its bonds at considerable premium.
