Special Advantages of this Loan,

1t is National Savings Bank, offering a
higher rate of interest than any other, and
the best security. Any savings bank which
pays its depositors in U. S. Notes, considers
that it is paying in the best circulating me-
dium of the country, and it cannot pay in
anything better, for it's own assets are either
in government securities or in notes or bonds
payable in government paper.
1t is equally convenient as temporary or
ways be sold for within fraction of their
face ana accumulated interest, and are the
best security with banks as collaterals for
discounts.

The Graveyard OF our Dead
Heroes.

New YoRK, Aug. 25.
The Trfbune's special say that Captain Jas
NJ. Moore, Asst. Q. NJ, who left here on the
sth of January last for Andersonville, Ca,
for the purpose of giving decent burial to the
remains of our murdered heroes, returned to
this city this morning, having successfully ac-
complished the object of his visit
The Captain reports that he arrived at An
Jacksonville on the 25th ult., after having ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in procuring
transportation for himself and his party OF
mechanics and clerk, the work of painting
and lettering the head boards for the graves
was Immediately commenced and finished,
| occupying nearly the whole time of the par
ties stay.
| There were 5000 neat head boards set up,
all appropriately lettered, giving the names,
| and as far as known, the regiment and COM
pany of the deceased. The Captain found
| the graves nearly all marked with neatly
painted stake, numbered the numbers on the
stake corresponding with record kept in the
hospital of the prison, giving the names of
those buried.
The cemetery is about fifty acres in extent
and nearly three hundred yards from the
stockade. The dead were all buried in
| trenches, in many cases over one hundred in
trench. Mounds were created over each
body, thus forming graves. A neat white
fence has been erected around the cemetery,
and the place made to.look as inviting as pos
sble. Pleasant walks are being laid out
which are to be shaded by trees.
Captain Moore says the country, for miles
around Andersonville, is almost devoid of
verdure of any kind, except rank weeds,
stunted pines, and live oaks.

carr. EpwARps, of Lee, = is reported, in

CAPT. EDWARDS, of Lee, is reported, in
the proceedings Of the Soldiers Convention
at Des Mones, to have stigmatised the editor
Of this paper as a Copperhead" This at
tack was utterly unprovoked on our part, for
we have ever treated the Captain with the
forbearance which seemed appropriate to his
insignificance. But as the charge has been
made against US in broad terms, we can do no
less than give the authors record slight
airing" that the public may know some
thing of his claims on their confidence.
We knew EDWARDS some years ago as q
Whig, and he followed CIAGETT, or was fol.
lowed by CLAGErr into the Locofoco ranks,
without exciting either regret or public COM
.ment from the party which he left. The next
incident in his career which is proper for this
brief notice, is the fact that he raised a squad
of recruits and went to Burlington with them,
and being unable to get into regiment he
sold out his men to member of the Fifth.
now Lieutenant Colonel and pocketed the
money, rs we learn from one cognisant of the
facts.
Subsequently he got into the Sevente eenth
regiment and remained in it, from the
day of his enlistment to the day of his
retirement, seven months and eight days.
And VIC are informed that during that time
he was constant grunter, and was never in
a battle or even skirmish in which anybody
was seriously hurt. He then resigned, and,
his superior officer, as he informed US, en-
dorsed on his resignation before he forwarded
it, request that his resignation be accepted,
as he was of no earthly account as soldier
or officer.
Now, we submit that while this kind Of
military record may suffice to constitute Capt
EDw ARDS leader and hero in the Soldiers
Democratic Aid Society, it is very poor
record upon which to presume to pitch into
q newspaper editor who is accustomed not
only to defend himself with his pen, but even
when occasion requires ''to carry the war in
to Africa" Nor do we believe it will add
very much to the brilliant record of the gal
