j WASHINGTON, Sspta15sl-The national
loan is succeeding beyond expectation:
Several hundred subscription agents were
last week, in nearly every loyal
State. including Virginia aud Kentucky.
A considerable number have already ac-
cepted, and sent on their bonds. and the
Others will probably all be at work this
week. The subscriptions of the people
have exceeded nine millions, and their
patriotic co.operation will doubtless eua-
BILE the banks to take the second install
ment fifty millions, and supply all mon-
ey needed for avigorousa but economical
prosecution Of the war. The administra-
tfon feels the Importance of justifying by
vigor, economy and integrity the conf
dence manifested by the masses wasteful
expenditures and corrupt contracts. by
which alone the security of the; working
men who invest their earnings in the loan
can be impaired, will be vigorously ex,
pressed. @ - las - c:aU e
Mr.. Tassora. the, Spanish Minister, has
called to assure the Secretary of State
that the report from Charleston that the

States, in possession aofsthe rebels, com.
ing into a9port with irregular papers, tare
admitted without noticei ofs:their irregag
larity, justaas they have been admittedsin

possession sof thes Custom Houses In the

1ohsuch vessels can sbe 8breadg without
escaping the blockading force.s4There is
