 Al Qaessieea,,. When. snasii the Government pay of these 7.30's? sf,s seys E.,,r gTsrr,S x z ! Answer. They are due in two years and a half from the 18th of February, 1865, viz. {: on the 18th of August, 1867.
 5th Question. Must I receive back my money so soon as 1867? 3se!4al} 71t}2A 2-- A,,sscer. No no. unless you yourself pre-. fer to do so-the law gives you the right to demand from the Government, at that time, either your money or an equal amount at par of the famous and popular 5.20 Gold Bearing per cent Loan.
 6M Queetion, How much do you consider this privilege of conversion into 5.20 loan to be worth ''-' '.'' +.' '' so' Ans,cer. 5.2os bearing Gold Interest from
 lstlof November, are to-day worth g per cent premium. If they are worth no more at the end of two years and half, when you have 8 right to them, than they nop are, this premium added to the interest you receive, will give you at least 10 per cent. per annum for y our mon ey-but the opinion is that they will be worth more than 9per cent premium at that time.
 7k Question. What other advantage is there in investing in the 7.30 Loan? 0. Ansscer' ltcannot be taxed by States, Coun- ties, or cities, and this adds from to 3per cent. per annum to the net income of the holder, ac- cording to the rate or taxation in various To- calities. All bonds and stocks, except those
 of the United States, and all mortgages, &c., are taxed, not only by the Government, but by
 States, Counties and Cities. t"i 8th Question. How does the Government
 raise the money tc pay th interest, and is ii
 safe and sure
 AnsUor. The Government collects, by taxes, internal revenue, and duties on imports, fully
 three hundred millions each year. This is
 nearly three times as much as needed to pay
 the interest on all the debt, and as soon as the war is. ended, the amount not needed to pay the interest will be used in paying of the debt. Our Government has tWice paid of all
 it's debt, and can easily do so again. The in lterest is sure to be pald promptly, and the debt itself is the very safestinvestment Tn the world. It is safe as a mortgage on good farm, and pays a better inteDst.J It is, in fact, a First Mortgage on all lands, allincomes all railroad and canal bonds, and bank or other
 stocks, mortgages, Sc. .'3 is Nothing can be safer, for we are all bound
 for it, and all that we have is firmly held fol
 the payment, of principal aud interest How fo olish those people are, who keep their golt and greenbacks idle and locked up, or pur
 chase mortgages or railroad stocks and bend : which pay only or per cent interest, whel : fthese Seyen-Ihirties pay (counting the pre- mium on Fiye-Twenties,) over ten per cent. and are so much safer and surer. stt s....s-st 9th Question. How many Seyen-Thirties ar ] there, and how much remains unsold? b!a Anssuer.s There are only about three hun dred and twenty-five millions authorized b. , law, and only about one hundred and ninet l. millions remain unsold Aa'list. : - '. ...'. m 10th Question.

National Banks all engaged in selling them , also . large number of the old banks, and 2 [ least three thousand private bankers and bro , kers, and special agents will be engaged i 7 all parts of the country in disposing of ther to the people. i1M Question. How long will 1t take to sel the whole? ss , l.;ii he all sold. and will no doubt then sell . at . premium. as was the case with the ol' > Sever. .Tbirlies, the first Twenty Year Loan and the Five-TWenties. ] Iu.red. will give full information to all. ] . no, the General Subscription Agent, or an F of the Banks or Bankers employed to sell th 5, and to furnish the Seven Thirties in small c 2 large sums, (as the notes are issued in d, ' ' lnominations of $50, $l0O, $500, $l 900 an z s, GOO, ' and to render 1t easy for all to snl | scribS-thus fulfilling the instructions of M o Easaandar. who aarnaatlY dea,rea that ft
