Support the Government.

That is the duty of every citizen in the
country, young and old, male and female.
There are other ways than by volunteering
and going into the army, and other ways
still than BY speaking and writing in favor OF
the Government and the war for the Union.
There is some way or other in which every
person can do something to support the Gov
eminent.
The Government wants money. 1t needs
money and must have it. 1t has long since
ceased to issue greenbacks, as a means OF
meeting its liabilities, and has resorted to
popular loans. Five hundred millions Of
Five-Twenties were absorbed at SIX per cent.
gold interest within few months. About
the first Of March another loan for two hun
dred millions, payable in gold after ten and
before forty years, and bearing tive per cent.
gold interest, was put upon the market. This
loan has not been taken as rapidly as the
first. The amount Of subscriptions reported
at the Treasury Department up to Saturday
the 2lst inst, was 50, 564, 400. The sub
scriptions have averaged about million
dollars day since the loan was first offered.
These figures, it is true, are not discOuraging,
but the Government needs money faster than
the loan is bringing it in. Its expenses are
nearly three millions daily. 1t must have
more money, and it is bad policy to increase
the volume Of greenbacks.
What is to be done? The Secretary of the
Treasury looks to the people to take this
Ten-Forty loan. We are assured it is his
opinion that, if this is not more promptly
done than the experience of the past two
months attests, it will become necessary to
issue more paper money. This alternative
would certainly be an evil which all patriots
would deplore. The way to avert it is, to
take the loan. The investment is a safe one;
the interest is payable semi-annuallY in gold;
and the bonds are exempt from municipal
and State taxation. We are rapidly finishing
up the Rebellion, and there can be no doubt
of the payment Of the principal at maturity,
in gold. The bonds can be bought with
greenbacks. Why not, then, o rich man!
support the Government by buying its bondsF

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC STATE CoNvES-
T1oN.-The State Committee of the War De-
mocracy of New York, which has been in
session in Syracuse, for day or two past,
has adjourned after appointing Committees
on an address and plan Of organization. Inc
next meeting of the Committee will soon be
held in New York city, when the suo-Com-
mittees will make their reports. The meet
ing was very enthusiastic and the members
united in their determination to support the
Union candidates to be nominated at Baltl-
more, at the same time expressing pre-
ference for Abraham Lincoln, while warmly
eulogizing the patriotism of Secretary STAN
ton, Generals Dix and Butler, Daniel 5.
Dickinson, Lyman Tremaine, James L. Bra

Democrats. The meeting Of the State Com
mittee was also attended by the leading War

DAYTON TO SEWARD.

fARlS, -ApIll lOOfs
William II. Seward Secretary OF State =
| visited Drouyn de Lhuys yesterday at the
Department of Foreign Affairs. The first
words addressed to me on entering the room
were, ado YOU bring us peace, or do you
bring us war;" l asked him to what he re-
ferred: He said he referred more Immediately
to the resolutions recently adopted by Con-
prcss in reference to the invasion of Mexico
BY the French and the establishment of Maxi
milan upon the throne Of the country.
replied that / did not think France had 4
right to infer that we were about to make war
against her, on account of anything contained
in the resolutions that they embodied moth
ing more than had been constantly held out
to the French Government from the begin
ming; that had always represented to the
Government here that any action upon their
part, interfering with the form of Govern
ment of Mexico, would be looked upon with
dissatisfaction in our country; and they could
not expect us to be in haste to acknowledge
menarchical Government, built upon the
foundation of Il republic which was our next
neighbor; and that had reason to believe
that YOU had held the same language to
the French Minister in the United States.
This allegation he did not seem TO deny, but
obviously received the resolutions in question
as serious step upon our part; and am
told that leading secessionists have built
largely upon these resolutions rs means OF
fomenting i'll feeling between this country
and ourselves. Mason and his Secretary
have gone to Brussels to confer with Dudley
Mann, who is their Commissioner at that
place. Sli1ell, it was said, was to have gone
to Austria, although he has not got off.
am, sir, your Obedient servant,
WILLIAM L. DAYTON.
Dayton writes again, on May I'd, to Seward,
detailing the circumstances OF an interview
after the reception of Stewards dispatch, with
which Drouyn De Lhuys seemed quite salts
fed, and noticing the apparent fact that the
extreme sensitivencss Of the French Govern
ment relative to the House resolutions had
evidently subsidized. .,
Seward wrote very briefly on May 9th and
MAY 2lst, expressing his entire satisfaction
with what Dayton had said in his interview
with the French Minister, and speaking Of
Corwin's absenting himself from his post
in Mexico under leave granted him last

LYScHBURG.-Thisc city is one of the i'm
portant strategic positions of the present cam
paign in Virginia. 1t is situated on a steep
decIivity, on the south bank Of the James, 100
miles west southwest of Richmond, and 20
miles southeast of the Blue Ridge. At this
point. the Southside Railroad, leading to Pc
tersburg and Richmond, connects with the
Virginia and East Tennessee r. r. Lynch
burg also has communication with Richmond
by the James river canal-a distance of one
hundred and forty-seven miles. The river at
this point is about two hundred yards wide
and is spanned by fine bridge. The nayiga-
ton of the canal renders Lynchburg the mar
ket of an extensive and fertile tract of coun-
try, and the abundance of water poweramade
ii, before the war, place of great industrial
activity. In 1860 it had $4,000 inhabitants,
one cotton and wooden factory, thirty-six to-
bacco factories, four brass and iron foundries
and many stores. The city is SO situated as
to be difficult of approach, and it would be
almost impracticable to establish siege
while Richmond remains in the hands of the
enemy. If an attacking army can succeed
in occupying the north branch Of the river,
however, the city will be at the mercy Of the
batteries posted on the clifs.-Sac. Union.

SEWARD TO DAYTON,
DEPARTMENT OF STAT

WASHINGTON, April I, 1864.
SIR:-I hereby send you copy of reSo-
luton which passed the House of Represen-
tativcs OH the 4th inst. by unanimous vote,
and which declares the opposition Of that
body to n recognition of 4 monarchy in Mex
leo. Godfrey has lost no time in asking an
explanation of this proceeding. 1t is hardly
necessary, after what have heretofore writ
ten with perfect candor for the information
of France, to say that this resolution truly
intcrprctS the unanimous sentiment of the
peopie of the United States in regard TO Mex
leo. 1t is, however, another and distinct
question, whether the United States would
think it necessary or proper to express them.
selves in the form adopted by the House OF
Representatives at this time. This is prac-
teal and merely executive question, and the
decision Of it constitutionally belongs not to
the House Of Representatives, nor even to
Congress, but to the President OF the United
States. You will, of course, take notice that
the declaration made by the House of Repre-
sentativeS is i'll the form of joint resolution,
which, before it can acquire the character
OF legislative act, must receive, first, the
concurrence of the Senate; and, secondly,
the approval of the President of the United
States, or in case of his refusal, the assent OF
| both Houses of Congress, to be expressed by
majority of two-thirds of each body. While
the President receives the declaration of the
House of Representatives with the profound
respect to which it is entitled us an EXPOSE
ton of its views upon grave and important
subject, he directs that you inform the Gov
crnment of France that he does not at pres
cnt contemplate any departure from the poll

sued in regard to the war which exists between
France and Mexico. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that the proceeding OF the House OF
Representatives was adopted on suggestions
arising within itself, and not Upon commu,

that the French Government would be sea-
sonably appraised of any change of policy

ST. JOHNS DAY.

Aceofding to ancient Masonic tradition,
which is the form in which the history Of
the order has been transmitted from the
remotest antiquity, st. John the Bap-
list, the rude herald of the coming of the
Son of God, and st. John the Evangelist,
the more polished and scholarly apostle
and missionary of the Christian faith,
were both eminent patrons of the order of
Free and Accepted Masons. Their names
are held in the most exalted reverence
among MasOns of every nation and of
every creed, and in those countries where
Christianity is the prevalent religion, Ma
sonic lodges are dedicated in the joint
names of the Holy SITS. John. The ami
versary of st. John the Baptist is cele-
brated on the oath day of June, and that
of st. John the Evangelist on the 9th of
December. Both of these anniversaries
are universally observed among the craft.
All lodges meet on those days, and when
ever it can conveniently be DONE public
demonstrations of some sort are made
Tomorrow is the anniversary of St. John
the Baptist and, the Masonic Fraternity
in this portion Of the Territory will as
semble tomorrow, at Virginia, and cele-
brate the day in becoming manner. \
ceSsion will be formed at the Masonic
Hall at II AN, and proceeding thence
to SutliffS Theatre, where the order of
Exercises will be as follows:
l. PRAYER by the Chaplain, Rev. Brother
F. s Rising.
,. Music by the Band.
5. Poem by Brother Il. II. Taylor.
/. Music by the Band.
5. Grafton by Brother A. B. Dibb!e.
The public generally are invited to at
tend the Exercises at the Theatre. There
will be Masonic Ball at the Theatre in
the evening.

The TREASURE TAx.-The vexed ques-
ton of taxing the produce of the gold
and silver mines has been settled, for the
time at least. The House of Representa-
tiveS concurred in the Senate amendment
to the Internal Revenue Bill imposing a
stamp duty of one-half of one per cent,
to be collected at the Mint and assay Of
fees. The vote by which the Represen-
tatives reversed their hasty action indi-
Gates that the discussion of the question
resulted in the diffusion of additional
light in regard to the risks and cost of
mining and the oppressive character of
such tax as was proposed by the Com
mittee of Ways and Means. Thaddeus
Stevens. of Pennsylvania, has commend
ed himself to the lasting remembrance of
the mining community by his persistent
championship of an oppressive and im-
practicable policy.

about No. of the Menken, but is a sort
of latter-day Book of Revelations which
knocks the hind sights off of St. John the
Evangelist, and lays old Miller and An
drew Jackson Davis out colder than a
dogs nose. The Enterprise has received
a copy Of it, and answers the request for
" fair and impartial opinion by calling
the author lunatic and the publisher
fool. Our contemporary is prejudiced, as
will be seen by the following extracts from
the document, which we find in the Sac
ramento Bee:
Again. Aaron was made high priest before
God. He represented the first spirit in the
Trinity This spirit was in the halls of Congress
in Buchanan's reign. God having left the Union
in Clay, places Buchanan the second person in
the trinity of anti-God as dead ghost And now
starr King represents the third spirit in the trim
i,y of Abraham, Davis and Starr king. This
places Davis the same in this trinity rs Buchanan
in the other trinity with this difference: Buchan-
an was dead ghost, and Davis is yet live ghost in
God filing the place OF AOel VINO was tue Sec
opd birth on earth. This places Starr King as
third spirit in anti.God and places the spirit set
in type in Aaron in starr King as high priest be-
fore God.

ed out to YOU. in the Extra No. l, that the Cnicn

ends"
What do you want clearer than that
There is only one trouble about the mat
ter, and that is, that the fulhllment got
here ahead of the prophesy. That, how
ever, was the fault of the mails, and not
of the prophet. When the Hibernian
Christ was around here few days ago
THAT was the fellow who is foretold by
the bndegroom,) the Enterprise called him
crazy, and disputed his divinity, and now,
because his credentials happen to come
along little slow, it pronounces them bo-
gus. The Enterprise IS one of the stiff
necked and perverse generation of unbe-
levers.

During the year ending the 18th instant,
says the Bee, the Pioneer Stage Company
carried Is, 233 passengers over the mountains
to Virginia City. There are three or four
other lines on the route, and they probably
carried 1000 more. The returning number
during the same time may be safely estlmat-
ed at 12,OOO. At $40 head for passage mo-
new, which, we believe, is little below the
average price, this would give $l,224,66O per
annum, as the amount Of passage money
paid between Sacramento and Virginia.

yallandigham arrived At Dayton last evening.
There was no demonstration. There is consider.
able apprehension Of trouble to-day. People are
very much excited.
The scamp is putting in his biggest
ticks towards raising riot in Ohio, in
which attempt he may very likely sue
coed. The fact of his return is somewhat
astonishing. There has been no public
announcement of his sentence of Danish
ment having been revoked, yet it would
seem hardly probable that his innate I'M
prudence or his confidence in an insurrec-
tionary support could have been so great
as to have permitted him to return in de-
fiance of that sentence. II the Govern
ment has revoked his sentence, his Sc
ditious and defiant tone shows that the
revocation was most unwise one, and is
likely to stir up rancor and violence that
it will require q strong hand to quell. II
he has, in open defiance, returned without
such permission, the sooner he is captured
and summarily hung or shot, the better It
will be for the peace and harmony Of the
country, and the more respect will the
people have for those TO whom the safety
of the country and the execution of the
laws are intrusted.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Gold Bill
passed both Houses, and will probably be APP
proved to-day.
There were over six hundred and fifty pro-
posals for the seyenty-tive million loan. No
formal awards have yet been made.
In the Senate to-day the Tariff Bill was
considered. Amendments were adopted re-
ducing the duty on tea to twenty cents, with
ten per cent. ad valorem on finer qualities
The duty on cigars worth fifteen dollars per
thousand was fixed at seventy-tive cents per
pound and twenty per cent ad valorem; on
cigars worth between fifteen and thirty dol
lars, dollar and quarter per pound and
thirty per cent. ad valorem; on cigars worth
between thirty and forty dollars, two dollars
per pound and fifty per cent. ad valorem; on
cigars worth over torty-fiye dollars, three dol
lars per pound and sixty per cent valo-
rem. Cigaritas are subject to the same duty.
In the House, the joint resolution extend
ing the Overland mail contract was adopted.
The Internal Revenue Bill was taken up
and nearly all the amendments recommend
ed bv the Committee of Ways and Means
we're adopted. An amendment striking out
the tax on whisky on hand was adopted-12
to G.. This probably settles the whisky
question.
During the evening session the House con-
Cured in the Senate substitute for the mining
tax clause-72 to 81. 1t now provides that
assayers assaying gold and silver ore, or
either, not exceeding in value in one year a
quarter of a million of dollars, shall pay a
license of $500; for those assaying from a
quarter to half million, the license shall be
$500 q, and $500 additional when the value
exceeds half million.

in favor Of concurring with the Senate in
striking out the House clause taxing gold and

of rivers, from earth, or in any way or man.

Stevens, of Pennsylvania, said California
had been INDUCED until she was spoiled.
Those who gathered the gold were trespass-

they should pay seignorage.

BY a vote OF 60 to 80.

business. This can be done BY any person
with pole or line that measures rods or by
little practice, one can learn to step a rod
at five PAGES, which will answer very well for
ordinary farm work. Ascertain the number
of rods in width and length of a lot you wish
to measure, and multiply the one by the
other, and divide by 100, and you have the
number Of acres, as l60 square rods make a
square acre. Ifyou wish to lay off one acre,
measure Is rods on each side. This lacks
