RIVE are requested TO call tle At.

- we are requested TO call the at
teDtion of our farmers and others
having funds to invest, to the certi6-
Gates Of Indebtedness now issuing BY
Capt. c. W. Moultop, A. Q. NJ. at
Gsllipolis. The bonds issued BY the
Secretary Of the Treasury upon these
certificates bear six per cent. interest,
and are due and payable twelve months
from date. They are exempt from
taxation either for State or Federal
purposes, which, taken in connection
with the rate Of interest, makes them
at least an eight per cent. investment.
II any investment can be considered
safe, these unquestionably are so. The
faith of the Government is pledged for
their redemption. The fact that they
are eagerly sought for in the eastern
cities at s9s shows how they stand.
Farmers, you can nowhere find a
safer investment for your surplus funds,
At 10 per cent. you are taking illegal
interest. and have to rely solely on the
honor of your debtor for anything over
six per cent. Then you must return
them to the Assessor for taxation, and
il the debtor prove unable or unwilling
to pay at maturity, the services of a
lawyer must be had, for which you
generally have to come down literally.
Besides money has become too cheap
and abundant to lend at 10 per cent. to
responsible parties. Only those who
can do no better will now pay ten per
cent.
Here is an opportunity to safely in
vest your money, and at the same time
aid your Government in maintaining
itself against the enemy. You have all
prospered immensely the past year.
Why? Because Government purchases
everything you have for sale at higher
prices than you received for many
years. Gratitude, to say nothing oi
interest, should induce you to invest a
portion Of your earnings with the party
from which you received it. Great
facilities are now being afforded you
for obtaining these securities. They
are issued dailv to parties furnishing
forage or supplies, and thrown upon
the market for sale. The Bank al
Point Pleasant has been coming money
out of these certificates at SO cents on
the dollar. At this rate of discount
they are fully equal to the best 10 per
cent. investment. If our farmers will
but open their eyes to the advantages
Of these certificates, demand for them
will spring up at home sufficient to ab-
sorb all the issues. We urge the at
tention of the honest industrious farmer
or citizen, who is more desirous OF a
safe investment than high rate Of
illegal and usurious interest, to this
subject. Any information regarding
it will be grstuitously furnished by us,
to those willing to invest.

ness? When we went into Kentucky,
I thought We were well prepared TO
meet our foe, and ready for anything,
and that before we left, Kentucky would
be free and ours.
But as soon as the enemy appeared
in front. Bragg turns about and runs
like the devil, and nearly killed all hism en-
from fatigue and starvation. We have
seen as hard times as ever soldiers have
seen. For fourteen days we marched
steady without rest, averaging twenty
miles day, over mountains and rocks.
and most Of the men barefooied, and.
worst Of all, nothing to eat. Four days
We eat nothing but parched corn, and
the balance Of the time half pound Of
-four and piece Of fresh beef without
salt. Our retreat was so quickly got
up that no preparations were made for
provisions. Ii is what you may term
a regular stampede.
The army, ! think. is in very dis
organized state, and we will have to
get some one else in command before it
is ever organized again. And what
looks so bad is that we are near rail-
road, where the men expect to get
things, and no clothing or shoes have
been procured yet. Last night our
quartermaster drew and issued TO our
regiment about tscenty pairs OF shoes.
thirty uniforms. and tpo overcoats.-
How ridiculous TO give that little to 500
men, who are every one entirely desti-
tute Of clothing and shoes Men are

RThe B. G. Levi brought down

RNow that our Democratic friend

~Now that our Democratic friends
are gloating over the results OF the late
elections, demanding change Of poll
cy in the administration, and predicting
ruin to cur financial affairs, q retro
spectiye view of the state Of our hnsn-
ces when the delectable band of thieves
and traitors under Buchanan ran the
Democratic machine, may serve 10
show how differently people 6nd things
now and then:
In 1859, one Hon. Howell Cobb, a
distinguished Southern Democrat and
traitor, was acting Secretary Of the
Treasury. Owing to bis peculiar free
trade notions, and wicked purpose to
destroy what he could not hold, the
Treasury was not only empty, but
many millions OF dollars in debt. To
carry on the government, the said Cobb
called for a loan of $4,000. 900. He
called in vain. The credit of the gov
eminent was below par, and capitalists
North and South respectfully declined
TO invest their funds in the stock of a
government which, in time Of profound
peace. was running up debt Of s70.-
100000, although the administration
then in power. assumed it with surplus
of $50. 600, 900 in the Treasury. Mr..
Cobb did not get the loan, and the debt.
still further increased, was saddled on
the present administration, which, from
the day Of its inception, has been COM
PEELED to carry on a gigantic war with
the very villains who preceded them in
power.
How different the state of things now.
On the 18th of November, Mr.. Chase
opened the bids for s13, ZOO, 900 of the
7.30 notes. The amount bid for was
over S25, ,OOO, 900, and those whose bids
were accepted paid premium Of 8 per
cent. to get the notes. Does history
show a parallel to this most successful
negotiation? At war with an enemy
of unexampled malignity, and whose
every step has been characterized by
brutal atrocity; threatened by foreign
powers in league with our enemies, not
so much from love to them as hatred
and enmity> to us; embarrassed and
counteracted so far as practicable by
sympsthizers and traitors at home, the
people still have unbounded faith in the
nations solvency, and the Treasury
Department as managed by Mr.. Chase.
Friends of the Union. take fresh
courage from this glorious omen. When
the Vallandighamers bsbble to you
of ruin, and a deprecated currency,
point them to this astounding fact as a
complete refutation of all the lies and
sophistry they are so industriously cir
culating, in order to destroy the conf
dence of the people in the administra-
tion, and, if possible, force it to make
peace at any sacrifice Of honor. from
sheer want of funds to carry on the
war.
