The Philadelphia North Americaa gives some ex-
cellent advice to those who wish to invest money!

ment Loan? But il any doubt, let him refer 10 the
statistics furnished by the tables of the vari-
nations OF the world. Tho facts which they pre-
sent will prove the most satisfactory mode Of dis
pelling the numberless gloomy apprehensons which
are being continually conlured mp by those who are
disposed 70 exaggerate the of the calamity oc-
casoned by oar rebellion. A reference to the state
OF most of the prosperous nations Of the old world
clearly dsproyes such POSITION and shows that the
highest conditions of national advancement have not
been materially affected BY the extended wars In
which those nations have been nmefnorally engaged
and that heavy national Indebtedness has proved
an unmtgated evil. &c.,
For instance, Great Britain France and the Meth
erlands will undoubtedly be conceded represent the
highest prosperity that has been attained by any of
the European nations. And vet no nations have been

unquestonaby 10 incur enormous national indebt-
edness; but neither their their indebtedness
have had the effect to destroy their elasticity nor TO
check the progress OF their general prosperity The
result would have been different, probably, IL these
nations had been falling into decay instead of being

nous advantages in our favor. These nations while
undergoing the trials Of war, oppressed by the
evils of an immense exodus Of their people, caused
by the density of their population, the inpossbtv
to provide occupation for Them the low price of labor
and the scarcity of territory. Compared with our
own country, they possessed slight room for future
Developments they were settled in every part and no
vast territory lay nyitingy open 10 encourage enter
prise and settlement. Their great problem has ever
been what to do with their surplus population which
IN It's turn has sought fields for adventure and
selt-support in countries like own, where an IL
limitabe territory waits TO be developed, and where
incalculable invite industry and energy
The encouragement 10 be derived from these facts and
comparisons Of circumstances is very great-and to
the mind Of any dispassonate reasoner is conclusive
that the course of this great country is onward and
upward and that ito credit will live unmpaired to
the end"
Our readers having money to invest will do well to
ponder the foregoing facts and suggestions, and nvost
in the securities of the Government. The Circular
of Messrs. Fisk Hatch, the well known Bankers, In
smother column, will give them useful information on
the subject.
