forty.tkree days they subscribed and paid
the cash down for ONE t~sdyed and sisrw-
one million dollars Of the 7.8O Loan.
There can DO no stronger evidence Of pub
lie confidence in Government securities.
While nearly oil other stocks have gone
down from twenty to fifty, and even .
greater per cent. within Z few weeks, oil
forms of u. 8. bonds and stocks have re-
NAMED firm except the slight fluctuations
that are incident to all rapid changes in
the money market. Our readers will re-
member that the subscribers to the Z 30
Loan receive eemi-annual interest at the
rate of seven and three-tenths per cent.
per annum in currency, and at the end OF
three years from June 18th, 1865, they
will have the option of receiving payment
in full, or converting their notes into .
$50 six per cent. gold interest bond. The
late great decline in the premium on gold
makes these notes more desirable than
ever as an investment, and it should not
be forgotten that their exemption from
State or municipal taxation adds largely to
their value. There is no interruption in
the receipts of subscriptions or the deliv-
cry of the notes. All banks, bankers,
and others acting as Loan Agents, will
pay subscribers the interest in advance
from the day of subscription until June
I5th.

Jefferson U. s. General Hospita

Jefferson U. s. General Hospital,l
Jacksonville, Ind, March 90, 1865.
lMessrs. Editors: A private soldier Of
the Third Iowa Cavalry wishes to protest
against the treatment we are now receiv-
ing at the hands of officers at this hospi-
tai. We are generally men that never
have been under the necessity of going
to hospital; but we are now here and of
course have to obey our rulers, but We
earnestly entreat our State officials to do
something for us, if possible. We have
been marching and fighting almost con-
stantiy fo- one year, or ever since we re-
enlisted, and now we DO not want to do
duty that properly belongs to men that
have never had any curiosity to see the
southern country. They are daily trans
ferring soldiers, but Iowa boys do not
come in with others. not in proportion by
any means. We wish to know if Iowa
has transfer agent? Our regiment is
gone and there is no communication with
it,and it is by no means likely that those
who will even be able can reloin their
command sooner than two months. aud
there are great many men who will be
able to do duty in the field again. They
have sacrificed health for their country,
and now they beg that the State will not
be unmindfui Of them. Thirty days at
home would do more good than qunine
or any other medicine. Men are put on
duty here one day and die the next, and
these are men that have been cent here
within the past few days from Eastpor:,
Miss, for medical treatment.
Aud now, dear Gate, knowing you to
be an earnest advocate and friend of the
soldier, We ask your aid or influence in
procuring US transfer.
Yours truly, A SoLDIsK.
We called the attention of Col. Todd
of this Post to the matter Of the above
communication, and he has initiated
movement to transfer the Iowa soldiers
to this place.

THE GREAT "MlLToNIAN TABLEAUx"
OF Paradise LosT.-From all we have
heard and read of this exhibition, which
opens at Atheneum Hall on Thursday
evening, April 9th, we judge it will take
our citizens by storm. In fact, we pre-
dict greater rush 10 witness this work
of art than to anything that has Jet been
brought to our city. The press, the clergy
and the people everywhere, pronounce it
TO be one Of the finest exhibitions ever
witnessed, and almost divine in its char
acter, Illustrating, as it does, the grandest
subject in the world-Milton's great poem
of Paradise Lost-and carrying out the
idea of Heaven, He'll, Chaos and Para
disc. 1t will remain with US but short
time, during which none of our citizens
should fail to see it.
