SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF THIS LOAN.

IT Is A NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK, Offering a nigh
or rate of interest than any other, and the best &c
eurity. Any savings bank which pays its depositors
in U. S. Notes. considers that it Is paying IN the
hest circulating medium Of the country, and 1t Gun
net pay in anything better, for its own assets aS
either in government securities or in notes or bonds
payable in Government paper.
b. It is equally convenient as a temporary or perma-
nent inv estment. The notes can always be sold
for within a fraction of their face and accumulated
interest, and are the best security with banksas eel
laterals for discounts.
Convertible into a Six per cent $40 Gold Bonds.
In addition to the very liberal interest on the
notes for three. this privilege OF conversion "a now
worth ..abOut three per cent per annum, for the
current rate for $40 Bonds is not less than nine per
cent. premium, and before th~ war the premium on
six per cent. U. S. stocks over twenty per cent. 1t
will be seen that the actual profit On this loan. st
the present market rate, is not less han ten per
cent. per annum.
It's exemption from State or Municipal Taratioh-
But aside from all the advantages we have enum-
Grated. a special Act of Congress ersmpts all Bonds
and Trsasury notes from local taxation. On the aver
age. this exemption is worth about two per cent
DER annum, according to the rate Of taxation IN va
rious parts Of the country.
1t is believed that no securities oher so great.ln-
dueements to lenders as those issued by the gov
srnment. In all other forms Of indebtedness, the
faith or ability of private parties, or stock eempa-
mics. or separate communities. only, is pledged for
payment, while the whole property of the country
il held to secure the discharge of all the obligations
of the United States.
While the Government offers the most liberal
terms for its loans, it believes that the very strong
est appeal will be to the loyalty and patriotism OF
the people.
Duplicate certificates will be issued for all depos-
its. The party depOsiting must endorse upon the
original certificate the denomination of notes re-
ouired. and whether they are to be issued in blank
or PAYABLE to order. When so endorsed itmust be
left with the officer receiving the deposit. to be for

from the Columbus Is. c. Carol
The Florida.

The Florida. two months ago, was at
Brest, in France, undergoing repairs.
The officials of that city and of the
French Government rendered every facil-
ity to the authorities of the ship, and
for two months she occupied the govern
ment dock, while her officers and men
were the recipients of the people of that
city. An indication of the sympathies of
the French government may be found in
the fact that the commander of the U. S.
gunboat Kearsage made a similar appli-
cation to that of the Florida, but was re-
fused. This vessel attempted to blockade
the Florida, but the latter evaded her
with ease.
Her complement is one hundred and
thirty men and eighteen officers. All
live well, olothe well, and feed well.
Oysters, turkeys, and delicacies of every
descriptions captured on the prizes sup
ply their larder, and these are served in
the commonest messes of the ship, with
silver knives and forks. Think of that
We hungry landsmenl Capt. Mafiit, the
former commander of the Florida, is now
in a confederate port, in command of a
steamer owned by the state of Georgia,
n of the fastest vessels afioat, and in
every way adapted TO the purpose of a
blockade runner. Lieut.. Manigatul Nor
ris, of this State is now in command of
the Florida. The total number of priz-
es captured and burned by this ship
is t~wenty-eight. Her tender, the Tao
ony, Lieut.. Reed commanding, took
twenty-one before being burned off
the harbor of Portland Me. Half the
value of each of these prizes is distribut-
ed among the officers and crew of the
captor. The other is placed to the ac-
count of the Confederate government.
Every man on board is, therefore, ''well
to do" N the world. The armament of
the Florida has not been altered since
she went into commission, and consists of
a one hundred and twenty pound Blake
ly rife gun amidships, some metal on the
bow and six broadside sixty eight pound
rifles.

The Vote i'm Pennsylvania.

The recent election in Pennsylvania re-
suited in an amendment to the Constitu-
ton so as 10 allow soldiers to vote. The
Erie Dispatch says of it.
By this vote, Pennsylvania sends greet
ing to the soldiers in the field. She has
declared in language that will be heard
all over the Union, that the soldier is a
citizen, and whether he fights upon the
field or on the far-of seas, his heart will
thrill with new pride for the love and
faithfulness Of those who have remem-
bored him at home. All honor to the
noble Keystone for her proud action of
Tuesday-an action in which men of all
parties participated, browning with their
votes a result more noble and glorious
than partizsn victory ever achieved.

just now owing principally to the whining

JoHNsoN's ISLAND
Anpnst 9 1854


EDS. CHRoNIcLE-Sirs-Thiuking some
of the readers of the Chronicle might
find it a matter of interest, to hear of
some things that pass the observation and
OCCUPY the thoughts of US Islanders.-
Notwithstanding our 100 days have nearly
flown, we take this time to note 8 few
items by the way.
The past week has been unusually warm
but a few showers of late has somewhat
abated the sultriness, and we feel much
more comfortable at present. Prisoners
are arriving almost every day from the
front; about 100 in all came in the past
week. They are getting to look pretty
thick in the "Pen," and the compactness
this warm weather must generate
a heat equal to that of their own native
cline. They are allowed to battle in the
Bay once or twice a week; a privilege
that our men when prisoners seldom, if
ever get, Ipresume. Some 200 or 300 are
ct in at a time with a guard placed over
them and they seem to enjoy the battle
very much. The other day after they
had returned to the Prison, on patroling
the grounds two were found secreted in
the woods, and no doubt, felt as any of
us would have done under the circum-
stances better satisfied if they had been
quite overlooked.
However lightly we may talk of this
matter, it certainly looks hard to see
these men Gagged up, and we earnestly
wish il could soon be otherwise; for not
withstanding the bitterness with which
we despise them as enemies and traitors,
afeeling of sympathy steals oYer the SEN
tinel as he PAGES the fence, though he
would obey the most rigid orders the same
moment, should a false step be taken by
any one of them, and consider it a rare
privilege. The sight of so many so long
and so closely confined, have made their
manners and habits truly interesting as
they are peculiar.
They will lock arms and walk for hours
at a time in deep and earnest converse
tion,; and at other times in perfect ST.
lence. Many will walk alone very rapid
ly, seemingly in deep thought, and in
the greatest hurry imaginable.
One thing 1 have particularly observed,
while on guard | have seldom ever heard
them swear, which is one mark of credit.
And by the way, they are having quite a
revival, and several have been immersed,
though whether in the faith of secession
and treason, we are not able to say. But
we shall say what we heard several say,
of a prayer that was made by one of them
at a funeral d few days since, "that we
never heard its equal" The prisoner who
offered it was a medium sized man, mid
die aged, with a keen eye and a deter.
mined look, stood with body erect with
head slightly thrown back, and as the
tears rolled down his cheeks, the imag-
nation cannot reach the depth of feeling
occasioncd by the earnestness, simplicity
and apparent sincerity, with which ev-
ery word was uttered, and so fitting and
appropriate under the circumstances,
that every heartstring was touched with
emotion. The Regt. is under very good
discipline and the men are in good spir-
its generally. Think many in the Regt.
would rs-enlist after a few days at home
after our time is up.

A Word to Union Men.

We must remember that it is not so
much u work to labor for Mr.. Lincoln's
reelection in the ann customary to
politicians-by speeches, and tracts, and
clubs-as to see that he is sustained in
his efforts to put down the rebellion and
restore the Union. Our present concern
is with General Grant and the great army
now before Petersburg. Has he men
enough to carry on his great campaign?
Have we given Mr.. Stanton troops for his
armies; and Mr.. Fessenden money to pay
them?-Phia. Press.
