SPECIAL ADVANTAGES or THIS LOAN.

IT Is A NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK, offering a
higher rate of interest than any other, and the
best security. Any savings bank which pays its
depositors in L. s. Notes, considers that it is
paying in the best circulating medium Of the
country, and it cannot pay in anything better,
for its own assets are either in government Sc
curities or in notes or bonds payable in govern
mcnt paper
1t is equally convenient as temporary or per-
manent investment. The notes can always be
sold for within fraction of their face and accu-
mulated interest, and are the best security with
banks as collaterals for discounts.

growing impression prevails that during the pres
en year 1864 the destiny OF the country for good or
for evil so far as the present war is concerned Will be
definitely xed ard that therefore upon the Efforts and
the sacrifices of this year more will depend than upon
che whole time that has preceded it-since the con
nencement of the war.
With tEfs year the present Confederate currency
must assume another form or finally pass away. The
war cannot be carried at the present high prices
which are the result of deranged and deprecated
currency Congress cannot set newer and better cur
rency afoat or make efficient or permanent arrange
mens for funding until the present mass OF paper
somehow retired and got out of the way, and the
ent Congress has only got about sir weeks to work
upon They will decide upon the prelimnaries in &C.
cret session. and we presume conduct the debate with
clos doors
If Congress be enabled satisfactorily to arrange the
currency and the army before the 18th of February
it will certainly be entitled to the credit which is due

Urea that would meet the existing emergency could give
sasaction since any either of taxation Of
funding calculated to restore finances, must be
pulsory in their character and heavy in amount They
must and will bear hard upon very many people, e.
pecaly persons in the army compelled to go into it.
It is in regard to these that feel the largest
OF concern.

willing to repose the nal issue of the struggle upon the
fate OF single campaign 1t proposes to concentrate
every energy IN one grand, desperate blow, which, if it

We understand that the firing heard here Sunday

would seem thai in the doubtful light of Sunday
log the Bendlgo mistook the wreck of the Steamer

deavoriDg to run between Ler and the shore got
aground. The Bendigo Is small vessel, and sup

1t was the Bendigo therefore, aid not the Roslin
Castle, as BY yesterday, that ashore

general impression here that tie vessel fred at was
the Rosin Castle, probably based the fact that she
was to have left Nassau on such day would have
brought her coast at the time when the firing
occurred We have DO Information about the Roslia
Castle, and do not know where she is whether she il
safe or not.
