Hsf1 Government tcSt0ckS---5-2O'S. -
-sl We are glad to learn that the officers
entrusted with the public leans have de.
termined to distribute them through the
country, and for this purpose have ap-
pointed agents at different points,
through whom subscriptions can be made.
This will afford the opportunity to many
persons of small means to make invest
ments without any trouble to themselves,
while at the same time the Government
will gain by having its debt widely diff
fused, and thus Bringing selfinterest to
I the aid of patriotism.N i l't.5e

for this purpose, and will receive sub

1.-THE money may be paid in legal ten
der notes, or in checks on New York or
Philadelphia. But after July 1, 1868.
the privilege of exchanging these notes
into the six per cent. loan will cease.
The bonds issued bear six per cent. inter
est, payable semi-annsally, in May and
November, an gold. The Government
retains to itself the right to pay off the
loan after five years, or to let it run for
twenty years. For this reason the bonds
are called on Change Five Twenties,
and not, as some suppose, because they
bear five per cent. interest.
As the bonds are issued with coupons,
any party holding one can, when the in
terest becomes due, cut off a coupon
and present it to the nearest sub-Treas-
ury, or have it forwarded for payment,
so that persons residing in the country
will have no difficulty in making collec-
tions. If it is desired to have the debt
in the form of a registered stock as
permanent investment for a family, the
owner can give a power of attorney to
his banker to collect the interest when
due
The bonds are issued in sums of $50
Sl00, 81, 900, $1,000 and $4,000, SO that
all persons can be suited, no matter what
their means. The farmer who laws aside
his 500 or 5000 per year, can securely
invest his money in that which brings
l1i, him its regular income every six months.
The family desiring safe investment
returning its regular income can find
nothing better than this national six per
cent. loan. The capitalists, the retired
man of business, will find this one of
the most prudent means of laying out
his capital, that it may bring him his

&C. We all know how the government
stocks of England are considered, and
how generally they are held as the most
secure investment, and that the banks
hold them as cash assets, so readily are
they convertible in the market. No pru-
dent man can doubt that the United
States will regularly pay its interests in
gold, and that is the object that
all prudent capitalists seek, certainty of
income, permanency of investment, and
these qualities are presented by this loan
to the United States. All persons sub
scribing have also the satisfaction of
knowing that they are aiding to put
down this iniquitous rebellion by con-
tributing the means to purchase the ma
terials of war. Patriotism then, as we'll
as interest, calls upon the citizen to put
forward his own hand to aid in sustain
ing this Government-the best, with all
its faults, the world ever seen. They
also serve those who furnish material
aid and the munitions OF war, as they who
send forward men to fght-From MIS-
