for dime or dollar.
The Five-Twenty year six per cent. loan, the
interest on which is paid promptly in GOLD. is
taken for investment, in all the States. and is
held by the most timid without fear or anxiety.
An opportunity is now offered to our citizens to
take part Of it and we trust that opportunity.

The ATLANTIC CABLE.-Mr. Field is
still working diligently to have the Allan
tic telegraph project resuscitated. There is
a telegraph cable laid from Malta to Alex-
anPria, which is 1885 miles long, which is
only few hundred miles less than the
Atlantic cable. Another, from France to
Algiers, is $40 miles long, and one from
England to Denmark is 3S6 miles long.
There are 32 submarine cables in operation
in Europe and India. The cable now pre-
pared to be laid across the Atlantic will
sustain eleven miles of its own weight in
water, which is believed to be sufficient to
prevent any breakage fatal to the working
power of the cable

THE PREsIDERrs MESSAGE.

We give our paper rp this week to this impor-
tant document. We had intended having it
struck off as an Extra. but the unexpected una
nimity Of Congress in organizing caused it to
come too sudden for US.

during the past year. Nothing is disguised or
attempted to be shirked. It's fnnkness is char
acterstic of Abraham Lincoln. ta. la7a
The reiteration and endorsement of the Eman.
cipation Proclamation. strengthened by the fa-
vorable results of that measure, is positive test-
E.ony that Universal Freedom is and will be
the policy of the Administration in the conduct
Of the war. Despite the efforts of sympathizers
the war has assumed this character-and we
have proclamation Offering pardon to all rebels
requiring an oath, wherein this measure is set
forth, and required to be sustained. The proc
lamation goes further. and exempts those who
have treated colored persons Otherwise than as
prisoners of war from its benefits. The princi-
pie of Universal Freedom is so closely allied to
reformation of the Union that the accomplish
ment of one without the other is impossible

OUR STATE FINANCES.

We did intend, this week. to reply to Lt
Council Grove Press on the subject Of our State
Finances" but in consequence Of the pressure
upon our columns, and the fact that in couple
Of weeks Governor Carney will have an oppOr
tunity to vindicate the wisdom of his policy
through his annual message, We permit the mar
ter to pass. In this connection. however, it may
not he improper to say, briefly, that, as we un,
derstand it, our State debt has not been increased
q single dollar that was not required by the
absolute necessities and the honor of the State
AS evidence of this, We refer to the fact, estab-
lshed by the official records, that on the LIST day
Of July last, the liabilities of the State exceeded
$50 900, to met and pay which there were only
about $4,000 in the State Treasury on the lst
of February, full month after the time fixed by
law for the settlement of the County Treasurers
with the State Treasurer. Here was q deficit of
S36, 900 to he met, and there was no way to meet
it, except the issuance of bonds. This is not d
mere surnise, but q fact established by The Off
cial statements of sworn officers of the State.
The liabilities Of the State had to Le promptly
met, or the credit and good name of the State
were gone. and our sacred obligations repudated.
In addition to this, our previous State officers
had contracted with the Secretary Of the Interior
to deliver to him a certain number of the bonds
of the State, and security for the fulilmeu: of
their contract had left in his hands $3l 600 of
bonds issued in 1861. A failure to deliver the
bonds, AS per agreement, would be o forfeiture of
the security. Here, then, was . treble motive
for the issuance of the bonds Of le63-lst, the
preservation of the credit Of the State by prompt
ly meeting accruing liabilities I'd, the saving
of the honor of the State by faithful compliance
with the contracts Of her highest officers; and,
Sd. the saving of S3l 900 Of forfeiture by fail
ure to fulfil the contract. As to the bonds to
redeem Territorial scrip, we can only repeat what
has been often better said by others in justifiea
ton of their issue: the State Of Kansas, as the
successor of the Territory Of Kansas. was bound
in law and in honor to pay oil its debts and
fulfil all its contracts. How Governor Carney is
to censure for meeting such response
bilities, it will puzzle honest people to see But
enough for the present. Governor Carney will
speak for himself 10 . few weeks, and in that
the people will doubtless find a full and ample
explanation and justification Of his policy.

stormed Fort Saunders, defended by Ben.

18th New York and although moved
down BY our fire, the column never wavered
till they reached the base of the Fort.
Here We gave them such dreadful ere of
musketry, and shells thrown among them
BY hand, as even their stubborn courage
could not Withstand. Their line wavered
and they broke and fed, leaving their dead
and most of their wounded, and 200 pris-
oners. Seven or eight hundred wounded,
many muskets and their regimental flags
are in our possession. So desperate con-
flict the war has not seen since that day at
Battery Robinett. at Coriuth.
One rebel regimsntal color bearer sue
ceeded in planting bis flag on the salient of
the fort; being shot down, another seized
it; he fell, and the flag was then dragged
into the fort BY our gallant boys.
The assault was made by the rebels with
seven picked regiments, and over these we
have gained u brilliant victory, with loss
to them of at least 1000 killed, wounded
and prisoners Our loss during the assault
was but four killed and eleven wounded,
and will not exceed 100 during the nights
fighting. For this victory the country is
