The Seven-Thirties---What are they P

We trust that large portion of
our readers have pondered the appeal
of Mr.. Fessenden, our new Secretary
Of the Treasury. The purport of it
is that the people of the United
States, acting as a body. through their
agent, the Government, wish individ-
uals to lend them two hundred mil
lions of dollars for three years, at
seven and three tenths per cent an
nual interest payable every six
months. For this they offer Treasury
Notes-that is in reality, notes drawn
and endorsed by every man in the
Country. The loan is wanted for a
great notional purpose, to effect which
every man, unless he be traitor at
heart, if not in act, is solemnly
pledged.
The appeal is addressed not merely
to few great capitalists, but also to
the many whose aggregate means
constitute mass of the wealth of the
land. The notes upon which this
loan is asked are from $50 upward
every man who has fifty dollars can
take part in this loan. Apart from
patriotism and the dnty which all
owe to their country, no investment is
SO desirable as this.
1t is secure. Every dollar of every
mans property is pledged for the
punctual payment of the interest, and.
of the debt when due. The security
is increasing in value. For some
years before the war we were earning
1000 millions year more than we
spent. During the three years of
war, owing to the high prices and
constant demand for labor, we have
earned more than ever before. No
man who could or would work has
been idle; and except for the war we
have spent less than ever before
The total valuation of the property of
the United States, according to the
population Of 1860, was SIG, 159, ,OOO,-
600, of which 80, ,957, ,44s,956 was in
the loyal States. This valuation ac-
cording to the usual rule of assess
ment, was not more than two-thirds
Of the actual cash value of the prop
erty. The increase of property in the
Loyal States during tho last ten years
was over 126 per cent, or an average
OF IL 6-1O per cent, per annum.
In three years of war we of tho
United States have certainly earned
3,OOO millions more than we have
spent apart from the war. The
cost of the war may be set down at
1000 millions. Deducting this from
our net earnings, the People who are
Security for this loan are 1000 mil
ions richer to-day than they were
when the war broke out.
No other investment can be SO
'asily convertible. The man who
has Treasury note for $50, or 800,
'r $1,000, can turn it into money
moro readily, aud upon better terms,
han if it were invested upon bond
nd mortgage or in railroad stocks.
The interest offered is higher than
an bc realized from any other safe
nd convertible investment. 1t is,
moreover, readily collectable when
Iuo. To zach note are affirod five
coupons" or interest tickets, due at

We have news by way Of New Or
leans that Admiral Farragut had pre-.
pared his fleet for action and issued
orders to commence an attack on Fort
Morgan on the morning of the llth
inst The Fort was to receive a furi.
Gus enfilading fire from the feet. A
land force in its rear is said TO have
invested it wherever there was foot
of ground to stand upon. The rebels
had destroyed oil the out buildings of
the fort, and also burned their only
vessel lying under its guns. Every
thing about the fort indicated a de-
termination to contest the battle to
the last. The naval and land forces
are confident Of success. Farragut's
demand for the surrender on Tuesday
was refused, the commander Of the
fort saying he had six months provis-
ions, fighting rations. and would re-
sist to the last moment. Before this
Gen. Granger's force in the rear had
cut the communications Of the fort
The captured ram Tennessee was TO

The War in Virginia.

The Washington correspondent Of
the New York World, Aug. 18th
says News from the Shenandoah
Valley today is favorable. There is
no truth in the report which was in
circulation here and in New York,
that Sheridan had fallen back to Win.
chester, and was fortifying there. On
the contrary, he is still pursuing Ear
ly's forces up the valley, and has com
PEELED him to retreat from point to
point in every encounter thus far re-
ported. The reinforcement of Early
by Longstrect's and Hill's corps must
be untrue, as these two corps have
been proved to be in Grants front,
on James river.
The New York Times has the fol-
lowing special from Baltimore, 18th /:
"a battle took place at or near Front
Royal, Va, on Tuesday, the 10th, be-
tween portion of our cavalry and
heavy force of rebels of Longstreet's
command. Portions of Wilson's d.
vision aad Custar's brigade were en-
gagged. The fight was severe one
for the number operating, and charge
made by Gustav at the head of his
brigade was most brilliant, resulting
in the capture of 25s prisoners and
two stands of colors. The fight is con-
sidercd an important one, as it unfolds
some of the enemy's positions"
a Washington despatch Of August
18th says: General Sheridan bad
fight in the valley of the Shenandoah
on Wednesday, driving the enemy.
Some of the prisoners captured belong
to Longstreet's corps. They report
that two divisions have joined Early
and that the Longstreet prisoners cap
tured near Deep Bottom belonged to
another division, which was under
marching orders for the valley"
From Gen. Grant we have news to
the 18th, up to which time he had
been pressing the enemy back towards
Richmond and had captured two more
lines Of rifle pits. Malvern Hill was
held by our troops. The question
must soon bc decided whct Their. Lee
will come out and give battle or be
pcnt up within his entertainments
with oil his communications cut of.
LArER-On the 18th the rebels open.
cd a vigorous fire along their whole
line and q general attack was antici-
pated.
