yides that all bonds issued under this Act shall
be EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by or under
any state or municipal authority. subscrip-
tons to these Bonds are received in United
States notes or notes of National. Banks. They
are TO BE REDEEMED In COIN, at the
pleasure of the Government, at any period not
ess. tSan ten nor more than forty gears from
their date, and until their redemption FIVE
PER CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN
COIN, on Bonds of not over one hunred dol
lars annually and on all other Bonds semi
annually. The interest is payable on the hrse
DAVIS of March and September in each year.
Subscribers will receive either Registered
or Coupe Bonds, as they may prefer. Reg
;stered Bonds are recorded on the books Of
the q. s. Treasurer, and can be transferred
only on the owners order. Coupon Bonds
are payable to bearer, and are more conye-

It is believed that no securities ofor 50
great inducements to lenders as the. various
| descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other
| forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability Of
private parties or stock companies or separate
communities only is pledged for payment,
while fer the debts of the United States The
country is holden to secure the payment Of
both principal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums
from $50 up to any magnitude, on the same
terms, and are thus made equally available to
the smalles st lender and the largest capitalist.
| They can be converted into money at any mo
ment. and the holder will have the bencft qf
the interest.
1t may be useful 20 state in this connection
that the total Funded Debt of the Unitel
on which interest is payable in Gold, on the
Sd day of March, 1864, was S76S, 965, $780,
The interest on this debt for the coming fiscal
year will be S45, 937 .126, while the customs
| revenue in gold for the current fiscal year,
| ending June 30th. 1864, has been so far at
the rate of over $1,000 'OOO,ooO per annum.
It will be seen that even the present gold
revenues of the Government are largely in ex-
-
| cess of the wants of the Treasury for the pay-
ment of gold interest, while the recent in
crease of the tariff will doubtless raise the an
nual receipts from customs on the same amount
| of imuor.ations, to $780, 900. 900 per annum..

INSTRUMENTATION OF SECESSION.

The Confederate Congress has recently passed Q
bill authorizing suspension of the privilege Of
the writ Of habeas corpus during the present in,
vasion of the Confederate States" it being provd
ed that "such suspension shall apply only to the
cases of persons arrested or detained by order OF
the President, Secretary of War, or the general
officer commanding the Trans Mississippi Mill
tary Department, by the authority and under the
control of the President" The bill also contains
category of the cases in which the writ shall be
suspended, and among them specified the cases
"of treason or reasonable efforts or combinations
to subvert the Government Of the Confederate
States; of conspiracies to overthrow the Govern
ment or conspiraces to resist the lawful authori-
ty of the Confederate States; and of persons aid
ins or melting others to abandon the Confede-
rate cause or to resist the Confederate States or
to adhere to the enemy"
1t will be seen that this category of cases is
comprehensive enough to embrace the case of cti-
zens in any Confederate State who should com
bine" or " conspire" for the purpose of "seced-
ing" from the Southern Confederacy to form new
political alliances. Such persons would certainly
be open to the charge of seeking to "subvert'' or
overthrow the "Government of the Confederate
States" and if any of them, in the exercise of
their State rights" and estate sovereignty"
should desire to return to their old relations in the
Federal Union, they would come within the demo-
mination of "persons aiding aud melting others
to abandon the Confederate cause or to resist the
Confederate States, or to adhere to the enemy"
All this is very clear But in this view what be-
comes of the Fundamental doctrine of the said Con-
fedcrate Government Founded on the assumed
right of secession, it now converts it's very corner
stone into stone of stumbling and rock Of offence
to all citizens in the Southern Confederacy who
shall presume to exercise "right" which they
were told it was perfectly legitimate for them to
enjoy under the sway of the Federal Government
The Constitution of the United States was, in the
eyes of the revolutionists who sowed the seeds of
revolt, little better than rope of sand, but the
bond of union under the Confederate Constitution
is drawn tight and rigid as an iron chain. Surely
the people of the South have found the little finger
of the insurgent authorities thicker and heavier
than the loins of the National Government which
they were taught to dread for its expressions"
but which they never knew except for its blessings
until they armed it with the sword which the ma
gistrate does not any bear in vain against do
mestic than foreign enemies.
