Profitable Investments.


The Philadelphia North american gives
some excellent advice TO those who wish to
invest money. II is well for all who are in
funds 10 heed the counsel: Though money
has been temporarily scarce, capital con-
liHues abundant and the recent tumble in
the stock marke has brough, capitalists 10
realizing sense of The unreliable charac-
ter OF many o. the securities dealt in. II is
greatly TO the credit OF the Government that
its loans, of all the securities daily delt in
on the market, have maintained their in
tegrity OF price better than almost anything
else. Its Five Twenty year six per cent.
loan, the interest on which is promptly
paid in gold, has been subscribed to, all
through the pressure in the money market,
at an average Of more than two millions
per day. And what is not The least gratify-
ing fact in connection with the daily large
subscriptions TO this popular loan, scarcely
any of il is returned 10 the market for sale
1t is taken for investment, and is held with
unfaltering confidence in its reliability.-
And why should il not be II is seen that
the Government now, after Two years of the
most gigantic war that the world has ever
known, experiences no difficulty in COM
manding the necessary means 10 prosecute
it, or in paying regularly the interest in
gold as it tails due. II this can be done
while the war is being vsged, who can an :
ticiPaie any difficulty in leadly accomplish
ing il when The war shall be ended What
better investment then, 70, capital, than the
Five Twenty Government loan But if
any doub:, let him refer 10 the statistics
furnished By The census tables of the vari-
Gus nations OF the world. The facts which
they present will prove the most satisfac-
tory mode OF dispeIling the numberless
gloomy apprehensions which are being
continually coniured up By those who are
disposed 10 exaggerate he extent of the
calamity occasioned by our rebellion. A
reference 10 the state of most of the pros
porous nations of the old world clearly dis.
proves such positions and shows that The
highest conditions OF rational advancement
have not been materially affected by The
extended wars in which those nations have
been immemorialIy engaged, and that a
heavy national Indebtedness has not proved
an nnmitigied evil.
"For instance, Great Britain, France and
the Netherlands will undoubtedly be con-
ceded TO respect the highest prosperity that
has been attained by any of the European
nations. And yet no nations have been
called upon 10 endure fiercer or more pro-
longed wars. domestic and foreign, than
they. The effect has been, unques,ionablv

The Charleston Courier, OF Nov 22, says:

Who is President.

A day or two before The election in Mary

to Governor Bradford, stating thatthe people
of that State should have fair election.
General Schenck, military satrap of Balii-
more thought this was going too far, and
gave orders that The people should vote for
members of Congress, ETC., providing they
took HIS So lest oath. AT nearly all the
election districts in The State The military

in our favor. These nations, while under
going The trials of war, were oppressed by
the evils OF an immense exodus of their
people, caused BY the density OF their
population, the iinpossbilty to provide
occupation for them, the low price of
labor, aud the scarcity o. territory. Com
pared with onr own country they possessed
slight room for future development; they
were settled in every par, and no vast
territory lay invilingIy open 10 encourage
enterprise and settlement. Their great
problem has ever been what TO do with
their surplus population, which, in i,s turn,
has sought new fields for adventure and
self support in countries like our own,
where an illimitabls territory waits 10 be
developed, and where incalcuable resour-
ces invite industry and energy.
The encouragement TO be derived
from these facts aud comparisons of cir
cumstances is very great, and to the mind
of any disPassionate reasoner is conclusive
that the course of this great country is
onward and upward, and that its credit will
live unim paired TO the end"

obstacle to the military solution of the great
feud prevailing here. Il is Rot such "a lion
in the path" as is supposed. When the in
surgent armies are fairly broken up, and
the authority of the government is restored,
there will doubtless come a settlement with
the arch leaders of The rebellion, but to The
Southern masses there will be simply rub
bing out of old srsres. The Democracy takes
satisfaction in avowing that it has never
cherished any malice towards the reople OF
The Southern States. It's relations with them
were always friendly. 1t still desires TO pre-
serve those relations. There can be no
prosperous system unless a fraternal feel
ing shall prevail. The Democracy is in
arms to restore The Union. 1t has no pol;i.
cal dogmas other thar this to advance. Let
these people come back. Let them elect
CohS Sressmen as oi yore. Lei tnem recog-
nize the old flag, the old Constitution, and
The old government, and Democracy will
bury the hatchei, and consent 20 a generous
amnesty for all past chickering's and disa-
greemenis.
I, is chiefly to secure this wise, friendly
and permanent adjustment, that is impor-
tani for the Democratic party once more 10

Us discard ali lesser issues, and organize

The Union, and its orderly institutions. All
