one passenger complained of having had
his watch taken from him in the hearing of
the party who had cautioned him, and
that he compelled return of the stolen
property. If there was robbery it was
not general and to no great extent, not
Harry Gilmore sort of expedition.
AS to the rebel contractor giving infor-
nation to his friends, that is but natural
and to be expected, and if n Deyayed

eality he would not have had reason to
express surprise at a coppe,hcad being

tcrs arc about the only things in the shape
of contractors here. We do not pretend
to understand either the why or the
wherefore but have become accustomed to
the fact and look for it as matter of
course, and take it for granted that it is
all right Gnd proper. AS to our soldiers.
we don't believe in having them killed off
and therefore do not thrust them into

WASHINGTON. Nav 1O-1 A NJ

WASHINGTON, May 10 A. NJ.
To MJor General Dir:
A despatch from General Sherman re-
celved at midnight, states that We are
lighting for the possession of "Rocky
Face Ridge" and [ have knowledge that
Mcpherson took the Snake Greek Gap,
and was within seven miles Of Resaca this
morning, You will remember that on
Saturday the Rebels were forced from,
Tunnel Hill by General Thomas, and took
position at Buzzard's Roost. in bend
Q Mil Creek, just north of Dalton.
This is represented TO be very strong
position, which General Thomas was un-
able to drive the enemy from on former
occasion, when he advanced on Dalton.
But Resaca is position on the railroad
about fifteen miles south of Dalton, and
this will place Mcpherson with Il strong
corps OF veterans troops in the rear Of the
enemy. while Gen. Thomas advances
upon their front and General Schoie'd
closes in on the fanh from Cleveland.
1t is probably that great battle was
fought on that line yesterday and may
be now in progress General Joe John
ston commands the Rebel forces.
Nothing since my last despatch has
been heard from the Army OF the Poto-
mae or from General Butler.

columns Of Gen'l Rosser's command of
cavalry and mounted infantry, number
ing from $500 to $500 men. Major
Myers (late of the Riuggold battalion)
finding out he was in for it, determined
10 pitch in, and went in with determi-
nation to fight out. The fight comluen-
ced at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning and
continued until night when our forces had
fallen back to Springfield, about six miles
from Green sPving Run.

ammunition not having q single cart
ridge left when this fight was thrown ON
their hands but they went iAto it charging
with their pistols butts. Major MYERS
had hand to hand encounter with Gen.
Rosscr and came on second best in const-
quenee Of the repeated swapping of his
pistol. All the Major lost however was
his hat, which may now be grazing the
the head of Gen. Rosser. That is all
right and according to the regulations,

This was evidently one of the most fearful

dispatches from General Butler to the

Il surprise attack on General Butler,
about ten miles from Richmond. So

Orderly was captured within sixty yards

quickly passed from defensive to an of

his opinion that General Butler having
already cut of Beauregard, will be in
Richmond at an early day, and before
either Lee or Grant can reach there.

1t is believed that no securities offer so great
inducements TO lenders as the various de-
scriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms
of Indebtedness the faith or ability of private
parties or stock companies or separate commu-
mites only is pledged for payment, while for
the debts of the United States the whole prop
erty of the country is holden to secure the pay
mcnt Of both principal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums
from $50 up 10 any magnitude on the Same
terms, and are made equally available to the
smallest lender and the largest capitalist. They
can be converted into money at any moment,
and the holder will have the benefit Of the in.
terest.
1t may be useful to state in this connection
that the total Funded Debt of the United States
on which the interest is payable in gold, on the
cd day Of March, 1864 was S76s sG5, ooo The
interest on this debt for the coming fiscal year
will be S45, s37, l26, while the customs revenue
IN gold for the current fiscal year, ending June
3Oth, 1864 has been SO far at the rate of over
Sloo, 900, 900 per annum.
1t 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 increase
of the tariff will doubtless raise the annual re-
ceipts from the customs on the same amonrt of
imporiations, to $50, 900, 900 per annum.

LOYALTY.

In cur last issue we called the atten-
ton of our readers to the extent and
meaning Of treason under the Constitu-
ton of the United States. with the inten-
ton in this weeks issue to give the coun-
terpart under the denomination Of Loyal-
ty. This we can not do as we wished for
the want of time and space. The move
ments initiated by Gcn'l Grants eombi-
nation have given the people taste Of
things much more palatable than our lu-
cabrations on loyalty could prove, ana
have so excited our loyalty that we feel in
no mood for lecturing others at this time.
The results so far of the movements in
Virginia are of such character that We
feel confident the loyalty of the country
will jump as far above par as gold has
been and will rise so fast and loud that
men heretofore loyal will begin to thinl,
that copperheads have suddenly migrated
and loyal men have sprung up Ike mush-
rooms in their stead Such l2yaly we dc
not believe TO have more solidity and du-
rability than the mushroom and not hal
as paiatable.
Sinners assuming the pcnitent charac-
ter are admonished to "Jying forth morhsI
meet for rqe"tmce." When we see these
converts to the teachings of Ulysses Of
Vicksburg' investing their "loose cha0ge'
IN Z. S. 1910 Bonds we shall attach
some credit to their loyalty. BY refer
ring to the advertisement in our paper to
day they will see pointed out the way
which they should GO il they desire
first the promotion of their oua interest
pecuniarily we mean while at the same
time secondly they will be lending "oi1'
to the government that is evidence of
loyalty, and thirdly ii will pay infinitely
better than any Rebel investment at this
day.
We would also urge on those who have
always been loyal the importance at once
of their embracing the opportunity now
offered to them, not merely to lend aid to
the Government in the suppression of the
rebellion, but to make safe aud p,yfta-
Die investment Of their means and bytheir
example to encourage others whose posi-
tons is doubtful. If their pccuuiary in
tercst is on the side of the Union their
political feelings will take the same side
and by this means you are doubly aiding
the Government and discouragng the
cause of the rebellion. Donot delay first be-
cause your willingness will be greater
inducement to others and secondly You
may not long have the opportunity. The
5-20's were not long in the market before
they were all taken and now can only be
had at a premium. The sales of tho 10-4O's
has been much more rapid and the war
news will cause them to 60 yet more "a
pidly, SO lose no time or you may find
you are too late. Read the article from
tho New Yorker which we have copied in

shall have more to say on this subject.
