"The bonds are finally engraved and
officers are at work upon them. They
are in three denominations of $50, 500
and $500, the first having nineteen cou-
pons attached for annual interest, aud
the second and third have thirty-nine
coupons attached for semi-annual inter-
cst-interest being allowed only from
July 1st, 1861.
The coupons, you will perceive, be-
ing annual on the $50 bonds, and semi
annual on the 800 and $500, are of
the nature of shinplasters on the gov
ernment, of 81 and $15, to be detached
from time to time, as the interest falls
due, viz:-1st. of January and 1st. of
July, of each year, from 1862 to 1881.
These coupons are each about II or 2
inches wide, by 3 or 81 long, and call
for $3 or $15, as the case may be, at any
Treasury Office of the United States,
and will pass as Bank Bills of these de-
nominations. The body of the bond
is engraved and printed in blue ink,
like Land Warrant; and is about 20
by 12 inches in size. The bonds will
not issue in the name of the assignee
unless properly transferred.
To-day an order goes out to Oregon

VICE PRESIDENT HAMLIN ON THE
WAR.-At Union meeting recently
held at Bangor, Maine, Vice President
Hamlin said: r.
There has been great deal said
about peace, and great deal said
about war; and my impression is,
that tho bclligerent has been rather in
the ascendant this evening; but I must
confess that, like the belligerent in the
play, my thoughts are turned on peace;
l am peace man and for peace, and
am willing to fight for it; and am here
flanked on either side with two majes-
tic peace makers-thc very best instru-
ments known to men to make peace
in times like the present. I am for
peace, and want it founded upon that
basis that shall not entail upon my
children the necessity of again passing
through this ordeal. I am for peace,
but 1 want that peace that shall elevate
us in the eyes ofall the world, and which
shall demonstrate there is integrity and
capacity enough in men for self.govcrn.
ment. Aud want peace too, that
shall give security to the gallant men,
in the rebel States, who have come for
ward and sacrificed their fortunes aid /,
almost their lives at tho altar of patriot
ism. l want to make peace with
your Johnsons and your nolts, aud
mon &c that c!ass-with men that are
loyal to the coAntry, and not with reb-
els who have mu skets in their hands.
Now, my friends, this is my "peacs /,
policy" and think it does not vary
. great deal from that policy which
meets your approval. There arc two
ways Of efecting peace-one way -
TO make a peace With rebsls whoee
hands are now dripping with the blood
Of your gallant brethren, and another,
is to make q peace with Ioy3 nseD and
] am for the latter. and my time when
they will allow me. ! am ready 70 ~.
