The Best Way to put Money out
at Interest.

The following Information we insert In
our columns for the benefit Of our readers:
From the Philadelphia Ledger, March 27. ]
One of the most surprising things in
the recent conversion of greenback notes
into the popular Five Twenty six per
cent. Government loan at par, is the uni
versatility of their call. We happened in
yesterday, at the Office of Jay Cooke, who
is the agent for the sale of these loans,
and the conversion of the greenbacks,
and found his table literally covered with
orders and accompanying drafts for al
most all amounts, from FIVE thousand
to a hundred thousand dollars each,
and frem all parts of the Union. -
The little States of Delaware and New
jersey are free takers, as are also Penn.
syvania, New York and the New Eng
land States But the West is most es-
pecialy an active taker, as we'll through
her banks as by individuals The amount
of orders lying before US, all received dur
ing the day, announced to over fifteen
hundred thousand dollars. With this
spontaneous proffer of mUney, Secretary
Chase must feel himself entitely at ease,
and will take care to put himself beyond
those money sharpers, whose chief study
IS how to profit themselves most from the
troubles Of the country and the necessi.
ties of the treasury. There are millions
of dollars lying idle all over the country,
and while the uncertainty existed as to
what Congress would do, and the bullion
brokers were successful in running up
gold to the discredit of the Government
issues, this capital was clutched close
But as the policy and measures of the
Secretary Of the Treasury are gradually
developed, confidence in the Government
and in the future is strengthened, and
holders are now anxious to make their
long unemployed means productive
hence the ready and liberal investment in
the Five-T Twenty loans at par Almost
every town and village throughout the
country has individual holders Of money,
to larger amounts probably than ever be-
fore at one time, for which satisfactory
takers cannot be found. Many Of those
are now investors in these loans, and the
number Of such is likely to increase, un-
til the demand shall put al! the Govern
ment loans on a par with. at least, the
loans of the various incorporated compa-
nles. The country banks are also free
takers for themselves and their custom
ers. On the 1st of July this Five-Twen-
ty Year loan will, under the law, be with
drawn.

Granger says: "Van Dorm made his prom
ised attack at o'clock, directly 10 front
and on the town. The infantry regiments
on guard in town, with the cavalry pick
cts, held him at bay until their ammunl-
tion was exhausted The dense smoke
and atmosphere favored their operations,
enabling them to approach very near
without our being enabled to observe
them. Our siege guns and our light
batteries opened upon them with murder
Gus effect, literally strewing the ground
with men and horses. | bad halted Stan
ley four miles out on the Murfreesboro
road. He at once crossed his forces over
at Nights Mills, vigorously attacking
Forests divisions, moving down on the
Levisburg pike, capturing six pieces Of
artillery and some 200 prisoners, but
owing to the unfavorable nature of the
country, was unable to hold them, being
attacked by greatly superior numbers,
outAanked, and nearly surrounded. Our
loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners is
less than one hundred, while the enemy's
cannot be less than three times that num-
Der. They were repulsed on all sides,
and driven until darkness prevented the
pursuit Capt. Mcintyre, Of the 4th
Regulars, took the battery and prisoners,
bringing off thirty of the latter.
From Vicksburg We learn, via Cincin-
natl, that the health of our army is i'm
proving, and the weather is fine Gen.
Grant went personally to Vicksburg
under flag of truce on the 4th inst, but
for what purpose, no one knows. The
General has fixed his headquarters at
Milliken's Bend From Chicago We are
told that the eLtire Yazoo feet had re-
turned to Helena, reaching there on
Wednesday night. They lost 25 or 80
men by guerrilla firing as they were
working out of the narrow streams. The
divisions under Quimby and Hovey are
ordered to Vicksburg. Dispatches from
our feet as late as Wednesday, report
seven iron-clads and some transports pre-.
pared to run the Ylcksburg batteries, the
attempt to be made on Friday or Satur,
day night. Gen. Osterhaus with heavy
force had reached the Mississippi on the
Louisiana side, at Carthage, about 80
miles below Vieksburg.
Government has at last concluded 20
make some practical use of the negro.
Able bodied men are to be put in service,
and that too without regard to the color
Of their skins; they are to shoulder mus
kets as well as spades, and fight as we'll
as dig. Inquiries are now in progress to
ascertain the strength and position of this
element, and plans for its employment
are being matured.
Gen. Foster is surrounded by large
force of Rebels at Washington, n. C.,
but has refused to surrender Reinforce
ments will be sent to him it is thought
he can hold out against superior numbers
from the fortified nature of his position.

STATE CONVENTION.

The Union State Committee have issued the
following call for State Conventions
The loyal citizens of Pennsylvania, without
distinction of party, who desire cordially to
unite in sustaining the National and State Ad-
minis trations in their patriotic efforts to sup
press sectional and unholy rebellion against
the unity of the Republic and who dssire to
support by every power of the Government
our heroic brethren in arms who are braying
disease and the peril of the field, to preserve
the Union of cur fathers, are requested to Sc
> lect the number of delegates equal to the Leg
islative representation of the State, at such
times and in such manner as will best respond
to the spirit of this CALL to meet in State Con-
sention at Pittsburg, on Wednesday, the lst
day OF July next, at II o'clock. A. NJ, on the
said day TO nominate candidates for the OH
ces of Governor and Judge of the Supreme
Court; and to take such measures as may be
deemed necessary to strengthen the Govern
lnent in this season of common peril to COM
mon country. Z. p. MARBLE.
Chairman Of the Union State Committee.
The following resolution was adopted by
the Committee:
Pesolved, That it be recommended to the
loyal citizens of Pennsylvania, without dis
tinetion of party, to organize in each election
district of the State a Union League for the
purpose of sustaining the Government in sup
pressing this causeless and wicked rebellion,
which now seeks to divide and destroy the
Republic.

All Hail Western Virginia !

The vote towards making Western Vir-
ginia a Free State is almost unanimously
in its favor. Since the Rebels have lit
tie courage to show themselves, Liberty
and Union naturally 90 together. The
statement in the Copperhead papers, that
soldiers prevented people from voting is
a lie as far as regards Union people: the
Rebel murderers would have been arrest
ed had they appeared at the polls. 1t is
a great victory over the Slave power.

A year ago last fall, the State Teachers
Association appropriated $500 from Its
treasury for the purchase of cannon to
be presented to the Government. This
sum was placed in the hands of State Su-
perintendent Burrowes, and being found
insufficient for the purpose, contributions
were made by the County Institutes until
the sum was presumed to be sufficient for
the purpose. Up to this time, however,
Mr.. Burrowes bas failed to account for
the money, or to purchase the cannon.
A writer in the Harrisburg Telegraph
suggests that Mr. Burrowes may still hope
that by some "strategy" this may be
made boodless war, as he expressed
himself in that meeting of the Associa-
ton. The notion is plant, and worthy of
a philosopher of the Utopian Age; but
to pray for "dry rain" or a "tropical
winter" would be quite as reasonable.
There is no record of "bloodless war;"
most respected grandfather Burrowes.-
Agitator.

stocks, | write to get information of you
az follows
1st Why are they called "Five-Twen-
ties ?"
I'd. Do you take country money, or ou-
ly Legal Tender Notes, or Will a check on
Philadelphia, or New York, answer for
Subscriptions :"
Sd. Do you sell the Bonds at par?

how am ! to get the Bonds
5th. What Interest do they pay, and
how and when and where is it paid, aud
is it paid in Gold or Legal Tender?
9th. How does Secretary Chase get
gold enough to pay this interest?

Dem 81 Your letter of the 10th
inst. is received, aud | will cheerfuly give
you the information desired by answering
your questions in due order.
lSt. These Bonds are called "Five-
Twenties" because, while they are tuentv
year bonds, they may be redeemed by
the Government in gold at any time after
.foe years. Many people suppose that
the Interest is ouly 500 per cent. This
is a mistake; they pay six per cent. In
terest.
I'd. Legal tender notes or checks upon
Philadelphia or New York that will
bring Legal Tenders, are what the Sec
retary allows me to receive. No doubt
your neal est Banks will give you check
or Legal Tenders for your country funds.
Sd. The Bonds are sold at PAR, the
Interest to commence the day you pay
