mond EEamiaeT learns that under the instrue
tions Of the Treasury Department, treasury notes
in sums Of not less than Eve hundred doIlarssysiH
be received st the different repositories in ex-
change for six per cent. Confederate stock or

thought that the holder Of these notes can at
once place the money at profit By exchanging it
for stock or bonds drawing interest and at any
time that he needs The currency again he can at

Mn. EDITOR: At tho meeting Of tho town
of Saco, on tho Goth inst, hold for tho pur-
pose Of encouraging, and stimulating volun-
tecrs, Mr.. Burbank stated, among other
things, that no was in favor Of maintaining
tho Union, and tho Constitution, obcying tho
laws Of tho State, and "lctting tho niggcrs
stay where they arc."
Now Il Is we'll known fact, that the NO
grocs, instead of being source Of weakness
to the rebels, rs some supposed, arc their
greatest source Of strength. They raise the
food for their armies, dig their trenches,
drive their teams, &c. &c. JEFF. Davis has
at this time moro than two hundred thous-
and negroes thus engaged. Instead Of invit-
ing them to tho Union lines to dig, and
trench, and grow food, and drive teams for
the Union army, and thus contribute their
humble mite in crushing tho rebellion and
upholding the glorious old flag, Mr.. Burbank
wants them to stay where they are, and con-
tinuc to labor for JEFF. and his unholy cause.
This is Unionisln with ycngcncc. 1t must
have been learned from that secession bible
the Maine Democrat. We want tho Union
maintained, of course We do, but don't let
any traitors niggcrs get away from him for
that would be awful 5.
