@ Another closing scene of this
rebellion is presented in the fall OF
Wilmington, which was evacuated
by the rebels on the morning of the
22d inst and is now in our posses
sion. After the evacuation Of Fort
Anderson, Gen. Cox pursued the
rebel garrison toward Wilmington,
and on the Goth attacked them in the
rear, routing them, and capturing
two guns and 800 prisoners. On the
2lst Cox pushed on to Brunswick
River, opposite Wilmington, where
he found the bridges on fire. and the
rebels burning tho cotton and rosin
in the city (which they left that night.
1t is SUPPOSED 1000 bales of cotton
and 500 bbIs of rosin were destroy
ed.
A very considerable Union feeling
was manifested by the citizens oil
Wilmin gton, showing as elsewhere,
that once relieved of the despotic
rule of JEFF. Davis, the people arc
willing to return to their allegiance
to the old flag.
Our captures at Wilmington and
Fort Anderson, number 700 prisoners
and 80 guns. The rebels seem to
have been more intent Oh getting out
of anger, than making any serious
opposition to the forward movements
of Gen. Cox.
And thus the hall rolls on. Savan,
nah, Columbia, Charleston and viii
mington, have all fallen, almost at the
mere echo of the footsteps of oul
army. The rebel hordes who have
so long prated of dying in the las
ditch, are seemingly as far from it a:
ever.
Meantime the legions of Sherman
are moving onward, whittier non'
can tell, yet all feel tina. his futur'
success is as certain as the past.
That Richmond will be the mex
to fall into our hands is beyond ques
ton, and We trust in our next issu'
to lay the joyful news before ou
readers.

MARTINsBURG Va,
Feb. II, 1865.


SIR:-Since 1 last
wrote you. there has but little trans
pired in the Valley worthy of notice,
and as for interesting news l have
but little to relate. At present we
are encamped at Martinsburg, eigh-
teen miles west of Harper's Ferry,
we left Winchester, Dec 2Sth, with
orders to report at Parkersburg. We
arrived here OIL the 29th, and ex-
pecting to take the cars and soon be
stationed along the border, but when
we came here the order was counter
manded, so we had to remain here.
They marched us out into an old field
behind a stone fence. and ordered us
to stack arms, unsling knapsacks
and build fires. There was not a
particle of wood, nearer than one
mile of our camp, and the snow was
about eight inches deep, and so cold
as to cause q great many OF the
boys feet to be frozen. AS soon as
the command was given to break
ranks, every man shouldered his gun
and broke for tie town, and took up
their abode there for several days,
until we could cut and haul logs and
build our quarters. The camp was
> r to be guarded by the officers
and a great many of them
our example. We have
41,.,
- not so good as they were last.
Whilst our command is lying still
others are moving. Troops from Gen.
Thomas command have been pass
ing through here more or less for
two weeks. 1t is supposed that they
are going to re-enforce Gen. Sher-
man, going round in the rear OF
Wilmington, it appears that they are
preparing for another active cam
paign in the Spring. EThcre has been
great deal said about peace, but l
guess that it has all died away again,
| do not think that they will make
peace only by subjlgatioh, for the
rebs will not make peace save upon
their own terms, and we never will
submit to them. We will fight them
until dooms- day, and several days
after, but we viii bring them under.
We can keep up an army as long as
they can and this is what we are
going to do, we will show them that
the Stars anC Stripes, shall wave at
last in triumph, in every State and
town. in the so called Southern Con
federacy. The citizens of Martins
burg are very clever and a great
many of them bear the name OF rebs,
yet they are sympathetic enough to
open their doors and welcome the
Union soldiers in. All is quiet here
now with the exception of small
gangs of rebs, that keep bothering
the rail road occasionally, they rob
train once in a while, but we have
found them out at last. Instead OF
being rebs it is gang of citizens
but we are watching for them, and
no doubt will soon bring them to
Justice. The boys are all well, and
in fine spirits. If the pay-master
would only give us call now, we
would be very thankful, greenbacks
are very scarce, as we have not been
paid for four months.
Yours Truly

WAR NEWS.

We have nothing definite from
Sherman. He is moving northward,
but towsrd what point is yet mys-
tery. The rebel forces under Beau
regard and Hardee are lowering in
bis advance, but without offering bat
BE, or creating any serious impedi-
Inent to his forward movement. Gen.
Schofeld is expected to open COM
nunication with Sherman, by means
Of scouts, in few days. Gen. Grant
expresses the utmost confidence in
Sherman's success, and, says that in
few days more the rebels will be in
. situation from which they can not
escape.
From papers captured at Whining
ton, Lee designs TO concentrate his
whole force IN two divisions, one OF
which under Beauregard and Hardee
will confront Sherman, and the other
under his own command, will oppose
Grant. By sudden movement he
hopes to unite both these divisions
upon Sherman, and after defeating
him, then turn upon Grant, with his
whole force and annihilate his army.
A grand conception, but one which
Gen. Grant will probably Illustrate,
by counter movements.
Sheridan is still at Winchester,
preparing for an active campaign TO-
ward Lynchburg, with the view ol
cutting off Lees retreat from his
present position. The last heard OF
Gems. Crook and Kelley they were al
Stanton en- route for Richmond,
where by this time they have proba
bly, arrived and taken lodgings in
Libby prison. The rebels are jubi-
liant over their capture.
Operations in the vicinity Of Knox
vile are becoming lively and indicate
d design on part Of the rebels, to
make that an objective point. 1t is
believed to be too strongly fortified,
for any force the rebels can muster
TO effect its capture.
Deserters4fom the rebel arms are
coming into our lines by hundreds,
and bringing their arms with them.
Cavalry bring their horses, since
Charleston has fallen. The ignorant
masses of the rebel army, are greatly
depressed by the fall Of Cha rleston
looking upon it as the beginning ant
end of the rebellion. The capture
Of Richmond will tend to increast
this superstitious fear. Reports arr
that both Richmond and Petersburg
will be evacuated within twenty days
They are quite as liable to be fulfill
ed, as the same reports relative tC
Charleston and Wilmington were, a
that period Of time before their evac
urton. On all sides the military
prospect is cheering. Confidence il
the stability Of the Government i
fast growing in the minds of the peo
pie. and even copperheads hiss yer.
gently, against the operations of tn
dsy.
Under the call for 800, 600, nel
are enlisting rapidly, and it looks a
though the whole number would b
raised without Draft. The men ar
vastly superior every way to tha
class of substitutes and bounty jun
pers usually procured by draft. /
is highly probable that enough mel
will be obtained by these voluntar,
enlistnents, TO close up the work
Let every loyal man put his shonlde
20 the Wheel, and by a pull, a lon
pull, and pull altogether, crush tn
traitors and restore peace to on

lst, Question, Why is this loan called "seveu
Thirty" loau1
Answer. It bears interest, in currency, at
the rate Of seven dollars and thirty cents,
each year on every hundred dollars.
ID. CUES. When and aow can they be OBJ
tained7
Ans. They are for sale at par. and accrued
interest from 18th of February, at the
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF GALL
POLLS.
Sd. Ques. When is the interest payable, and
how can it be eolleeted7
Ans. On the 18th of February and 18th Of
August of each year, and can be collected
through the FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
GALLIP0LIS.
4th Ques. When must the Government pay
off these 7-30s3
Ans. Two years and half from 18th of
February. 1865.
5th Quvs. Must / receive back my money as
soon as 1861
the law gives you the right to demand from
the Government, at that time, either your
money, or an equal amount at par in $40
Gold bearing per cent loan.
9th. Ques. If ! should need my money, be-
fore 1861 to invest in anything else, how
could get III
Ans, These bonds will always be saieG6ie,
as the interest is paid every six months and
they cannot be taxed by States, Counties or
Towns, and this saves you from two to hve
per cent on your income,
7th. How does the Government raise the
money to pay the interest, and is it safe and
sureg
Ans. The Government collects, by taxes,
/ internal revenue, and duties on imports, fully
three hundred mil ions each year. This is
nearly three times as much as il needed to pat
/ the interest on all the debt, and as soon as
the war is ended, the amount not needed TO
paw the interest will be used in paying of
the debt Our GOUeTHmeRf has paid Off all her
debt, and can easily do so again. The interest
is sure to be paid promptly, and the debt
itself is the very safest investment in the
world. 1t is as safe as mortgage on good
/ farm, AMI pays better interest. Ii is, in
fact, a First Mortgage on all lands, ali ineomest I
ali railroad and canal bonds. and bank or
other stocks, mortgages DC, &.
Nothing can be safer, for we are all bound
for it, and all that we have is held and firmly
bound for the payment Of principal and in
terest. How foolish those people are, who
keep idle, and locked up, their gold and
greenbacks, or purchase mortgages or railroad
SOCKS and bonds, which pay only or per
cent. interest, when these Seyen- Thirties pay
Counting the premium on Pive-Twenties,l
over ten per cent, and are so much safer and
surer.
sth Ques. How many Seven Thirtiss are
there, and how much remains unsold7
! Ans, There are only about three hundred
and twenty five millions authorized by law,
and on the l5th there was only about one
/ hundred and ninety millions remaining tIn-
sold From the 18th to the 18th there was
sold TWENTX SIX MILLIONS FIVE
