The National Loan.

It was stated in the Bulletin several days
since that Pitt Cooke, Of Jay Cooke 4 Co.,
agents for the sale Of the popular Seven,Thir'
ty Loan, was in this city arranging to facii.
tate subscriptions to the loan in California.
He received to-day from Jay Cooke, Of Phil.
adelphia, telegraphic dispatch stating that
the second series Of the seven thirty bonds
are all sold. These bonds were made paya.
BILE three years from the 18th Of June, 1865.
Mr., Cooke has now commenced selling the
third and last series Of $3.50, ,0O0, 900, which
is precisely like the other two series, except
that the bonds will be dated July 18th in
stead Of June 18th, 1865, and that the gov.
ernment reserves the right to pay per cent
in gold instead Of 80 100 per cent in cur
rency. The making Of this reservation
shows that the Secretary Of the Treasury ex'
poets an early appreciation Of legal tenders
to nearly or quite par, in which event Gov
ernment would Of course gain by paying the
lower rate Of interest in gold. II this appre.
citation were reached no sooner than at the
end Of two years from July 18th, the differ.
ence between the two rates Of interest for
only one year on $3.50, 900, 900, would
amount to upwards of 100000, which is an
item worth saving. We are informed that
$4,000, 900 Of the new series Of Seven Thirty
bonds will arrive on the Moses Taylor, now
nearly due. Meanwhile, the United States
Assistant Treasurer is receiving numerous
subscriptions at the Mint.-S. r. Bulletin,

HEAVY RAlN-1he weather of the present
Spring season has departed from the track OF
previous experience. First came q remark
ably cheated term" early in May, when June
has always been the month of this appear
ance. This has been followed by rain
storm Of unusual severity. On Thursday.
morning the clouds commenced with peasan
showers to relieve the parched earth and
dusty roads, but as the day wore on there
came occasional bursts Of rain that fairly deli
uged the earth. These visitations were &C.
coupauied by bail, and heavy peas of thun-
der aud flashes of lightning. Several such
gusts came and passed during the day, but
the grandest demonstration came about six
o'clock in the evening, when for about fit.
teen minutes the rain fell with violence we
have never seen exceeded in this latitude
Thunder and lightning acted an important
part in the storm, by incessant peals and
flashes, that lent magnifcence to the unusual
scene. After this the clouds were more gen,
tie in their outpourings, and now the Asecy
visitors are breaking ranks and chasing each
other rapidly toward the Sierras. aS'
Everybody SAYS it was glorious rain, but
with the proneness of humans not to be sat,
is6ed, declare that it should have come three
weeks ago to have been disadvantage to the
thirsty crops.
1t is likely that much new mown grass has
been injured, as we'll as grain, where the bar
vests have commenced in the valleys, but our
mountain farmers will be advantaged, and
have now an assurance Of better crops than
they could possibly have hoped for week
ago.
