The Loan Taken.

The S3, ,000, 900 loan, authorized by the
recent extra session Of the Legislature,
has been taken at par The Philadelphia
Bulletin, in speaking of the matter, says:
We confess to deep feeling of pride
and pleasure in our noble old state. 1t
(the loan) is taken when the State is al
ready in debt near forty millions of dollars.
1t is taken evidently by something like a
pro rata division among the banks. In
stead Of taking advantage of the necessity
of the State, inasmuch. as money must be
had for the troops, the people come tor
ward and take six per cent. stock at par.
We believe it to be a perfectly good IN
vestment, and yet no one believes that 1t
would have been taken without the lnfu-
ence of high, patriotic motive. Nothing
can show this more strikingly than the
fact that State 5's sold yesterday at Il
This represents the regular market price,
influenced only by financial considerations.
4 corresponding six per cent stock, 1t is
very evident would fall much below par,
vet here is three millions Of money freely
offered to the State at par to pay our sol
diers, TO promote their comfort, and to
carry on the war with rebels and support
the Government.
We have heard much from the South
of the mercenary North, of men who
would sell their muskets for dollar, of
men who sacrifice everything for money.
The fact, however, is, that the Secession
loan is not taken, and that the rebels are
in great straits for money. Our Federal
Government obtains all that it needs, and
when further our State comes forward and
asks for three millions in addition to half
a million already expended, Pennsylvania
ans come forward and take the entire sum,
at par, and without asking man out of
the State to help. Honor then TO the old
Keystone! Honor TO the State that never
fails in time of need. Honor to the peo-
pie who become more and more reliable In
proportion to the pressure upon them.
