Ans. No, not unless yoH prefer 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 in 500

9th. Ques.. III should need my money, be.
fore 1861, to invest in anything else, how
could get il?
Ans, These bonds .Yill always be- saleaJle,
as the interest is Npaid1every six tneeths and
they cannot be taxed by States, Counties or
Towns, and this saves You from two to five
per cent on your income, q sl
1th. How does the Government raise the
money to pay the interest, and is il safe and
sure? ,SiST4 10 y
Ans. The Government collects, by taxes,
internal revenue, and duties onimpcfts, fully
three hundred millions each year. This is
Il, n 49,. n.
the interest on all the debit and as soon as
the war is ended, the amount not needed TO
pay the interest will be used in paying off
the debt. Our Government has bald Off al her
debt, and can easily do so again. heinterest
is sure to be paid promptly, and the debt
itself Is the very safest investment in the
world. II is as safe as mortgage on a good
farm, and pays a better interest It is, in
fact, a FiTa MOTtgitys on all lands, all incomes,
all railroad and canal bonds, and bank or
other stocks, mortgages &c, &. r' n"
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
greenbaeks, or purchase mortgages or railroad
stocks and bonds, which pay only or per

Rr In company with q gentleman
from Pittsburg, of large experience
in the oil business; a tho trough geol-
ogist, Of scientific attainments,we
visited the oil wells on Campaign
creek, in Gallia county, known as
the Martindale wells, one being sunk
by citizens of -Gallipolis, the other
by citizens of Cheshire township. II
The oil is Mlrs.5 ofthis there is no
doubt The gentleman above alud-
ed to, pronounces it of a very fine
quality, not exceeded by any in in the
market, and that it will be- found in
paying quantities, at a depth not
less than 600 feet. If the parties
however desire to- developeait at
once, they should. procure engines
and suitable tools, and gonto swork
with a win. Boring for oil, is, at
best aiduIl and cheerless1 business,
and unless carried on with energy
and determination ''to find oil or
China,pl little will be done. Our
friends have every prospect of sue
cess, if they go to work at the busi-
ness in the right way : 2

gentleman, made short visit to the
farm of DR.. Naret near Buffalo, on
Kanawha. After careful geolegi-
cal survey of the ground, he is salts

Hicks, vanzant. 4 Co., are now
sinking two wells in the vicinity of
