SDecial Advantages Of this Loan.

ITIsA NlTIoyAL SAVINGS BANK, Offering q
hixher rate Of interest than any other, and the
best security. Any savings bank which pays
its depostors in L. S Notes, considers that it
is paving in the best circulating medium of the
country, and it cannot pay in anything better,
for its own assets are either in government Sc
ouri,ies or in notes or bonds payable in gov
eminent paper.
It is equally Convenient rs n temporary or
permanent Investment. The notes can always
be sold for within a fraction of their face and
accumulated interest and are the best security
with banks as collatcrals for discounts.
Convertible into Six Per Cent $40
Gold Bond.
In addition to the very liberal interest on
the notes for three years, this privilege of con-
version is 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
the war the premium on six per cont. U. $.
Stocks was over twenty per cent. 1t Will
be seen that the actual profit on this loan, at
the present marke, rate, is not lcas than ten
per cent. Per annum.

Considerable excitement WIS created about

band Of Euerill4s approached within SIX

militia company, and committed other ter
rible deeds too numerous to mention. The
facts in regard to the matter rs obtained from
headquarters are as follows:
Mr.. F. =. Phelps, who resides at 62 Nor
gan street, states that yesterday he went ont
to Woodlawn dairy (about six and half
miles from town owned by Morris, Heitzel

all about his views Of the war, dc. After

Shortly after his return ono hundred mounted

illas confined him In a room, and then

fair sample Of the Administration policy In
