the rebels twice charging them and driving them back

LEGAL TENDERS ANE TEN FoRTIEs.

has directnd the assistant treas
urers at New York, Philadelphia,
and Boston, to receive five per cent.
legal, tenders with undetachcd
coupons at the full amount OF the
face, and give coupons in payment
ten forties. The subscriptions to
the popular loan continue to flow
in at tie rate of a million a day;
and if the new internal revenue
and tariff acts we're in full opera
ton, the revenue from the sources
would, it is thought, pay the entire
expenses OF the government. To
provide in the meantime for pay
of the army and for the expenses
of the great military movements
now in progress, bonds of the loan

seven y-five mi | ons, will probably
be offered through the assistant
