Presidents Message and Proclamation.

. To the exclusion of our usual varie-
ty, we this week present our readers
with the Presidents Message to Con-
gress and the Presidents Proclamation
to repentant rebels. These arc both
State Papers OF great Importance and
they will be carefully perused by all who
take an interest in the present condi-
ton of our National Affairs. The two
leading ideas Of the Proclamation are,
pardon to rebels, with certain excep-
tons, and the restoration of seeded
States so soon as the people thereof,
by vote at least one-tenth as large
as that cast in 1860 for President, shall
organize q State Government in con-
sonance with prescribed oath. When
this is done the. President promises
that the protection of the Constitution
and the National Government shall be
extended over the seeded States, and
they shall be received back into the
Union. 1t is believed that already
several States are ready to avail them
selves of the terms offered, such for
instance as Arkansas, Tennessee and
North Carolina, and that Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas will not be far
behind. .... ... l....
The President adheres to his Eman-
cipation Proclamation, and intimates
his opinion that it is irrevocable, and
that, therefore, all such of the seeded
States as may thus re-organize and be
restored to the protection of the Ma
tional Government must respect the
terms of that Proclamation-that is,
apply for re-admission as free States.
The President is evidently strongly
convinced of the practicability and
constitutionality of his plan, and yet
submits it subject to the action of Con-
gress or the decision of the Supreme
Court. This is eminently fair and hon
orable,
Charles City Republican intelligencer. [volume] (Charles City, Iowa) 1861-1864, 1863-12-17
$50 u. s. Bonds.

Attention is called to the advertise
ment, in another column, of the 500
U. S. Bonds. The avidity with which
these Bonds have been taken by the
American people is ample proof of
their desirableness as an investment
of money, and Of the confidence en-
tertained in the stability of the Gov
eminent. The fact that these bonds
will soon be all taken up and that no
more of the kind will be issued, should
stimulate persons, desiring to invest
in them, to do SO without delay. AS
soon as the bonds are all sold there
can be no doubt that they will rise in
value, and will then be sought at a
high premium.
The denominations are $50, 500,
$500, $1,000, SO that any person hav-
ing fifty dollars or more, which he
wishes to have safely invested and
earning something, can avail himself
of this opportunity to make money and
at the same time aid the Government
with means for putting down the re-
bellion. The latter consideration alone,
to patriotic mind, should be and is a
sufficient inducement.
For some weeks past the sales of
these bonds have frequently amounted
to tarO millions daily; and the conf
dence felt by foreigners in the ability
of our Government to pay promptly
both principal and interest of this loan
in gold is evinced by the fact that a
large foreign demand for these securi-
ties has lately sprung up-mostly
from Germany-which is likely to abb
sorb two millions weekly.
These 5-20's cannot be taxed by
States, cities, towns or counties, and
the Government tax on them is only
Ii per cent. ON the amount of income
when the income of the holder exceeds
six hundred dollars per annum. All
other investments, such as Income
from Mortgages, Railroad Stock and
Bonds, etc, must pay from three to
five per cent. tax on the Income.
The time for subscribing to these
Bonds is very limited, and it is the pa
triotic desire of Secretary Chase and
Mr.. Cooke, the General Subscription
Agent, to keep the Loan in the hands
Of the American people, inasmuch as
every dollar taken increases confidence
and strengthens the arm of the Gov
ernment.
Any one wishing to purchase, can
send directly to the Dubuque Branch
State Bank of Iowa, and the Bonds
will be promptly forwarded. This
Bank will pay gold for the semi-annu-
al coupons, as they mature, ON the
first days of May and November.

Congress.

Congress adjourned on the 10th inst.
without transacting any important
business, until Monday, when all the
committees would be announced, and
the machinery for legislation fully in
augura.ed. It is not believed that
anything of any account will be ac-
complished until after the holidays.
In the Senate, Mr.. Sumner gave no
tice of a bill to repeal all acts for the
rendition of fugitive slaves. In the
House notice was given of bill to adj
NIT members of the Cabinet to seats
on the floor of Congress, with the right
to debate matters pertaining to their
respective departments. Rev. w. II.
