Sustain the Government,

Messrs. Fisk & Hatch, the well-known
bankers and Government Loan Agents, at
38 Wall Street, New York, advertise to
receive orders for the popular 80 Loan.
This is emphatically the "People's
Loan," and should attract the attention
of banks, bankers and capitalists, and Of
every man or woman who has fifty dollars
or more to invest throughout the country
The convenient form in which these notes
are issued ease with which the interest
may be calculated-being one cent day
on each $50; the facility with which il
may be collected-the notes having semi.
annual coupons attached, which may be
cut off when due and sold at little OF nc
discount to any bank or banker; the con
vertibility of the notes, at the option o.
the holder, after August 18th, 1867, into
Gold-bearing Five-Twenty Bonds, al
combine to render the 7-30 notes most
desirable investment.
All investors are in doubt as to what
form of investment will ultimately bring
the largest return, sufficient reason fo1
taking the 7-3O notes will be found in the
fact that Messrs. Fisk & Hatch, and the
other agents of the Govern ment, as wei
as the various banks and bankers through
out the country, are selling these notes fol
the Government, and that the money sc
invested is not only securely and prolitably
invested, but goes Immediately into the Ma
tional Treasury, to assist the Government
in promptly paying our brave boys in the
field, putting the finishing blows into thi:
hateful rebellion.
All patriotic banks and bankers in thi:
vicinity have the notes Inland for sale, OF
will order them from Messrs. Fisk &
Hatch, for such of our readers as may de-
sire to avoid direct correspondence

The Richmond Enquirer mentions the
suppression of the personal notices in the
New York News. and saws that the expe-
dition for the relief of the prisoners OF
Johnson's Island was planned, organized
and arranged through the help column OF
the \. Y. Herald. and that for the cap
ture of the Chesapeake was also planned
through the same medium. The Enquir-
er thinks the Herald has reaped more of the
reward of treason, and given more laid
and comfort to the enemy OF Ifs country,
than any ten papers in the United States.

Remarkable Coincidence.

No income tax from any person in Con-
cord, Essex county, the largest, most
wealthy and most populous of all the
towns in Essex county. And Charleston,
Orleans county, very large and populous
town, with only .tour incomers. Both of
the above named towns have Assistant &C.
sors residing therein. 1t would be adyis-
able hereafter to appoint assessors where
the business is, and not in such poor places
where no revenue accrues. Or it may be
that they have so much business in other
towns they cannot look over their own,
in which case some one should be ap-
pointed from out of these towns to look
over them. This publishing names that
pay incomes will show the people who
pay, and who live too fast for their in

MOnStrOllS Frauds.

Col. Baker, a Government detective.
has lately discovered the most gigantic
frauds among the substitute brokers of
New York City, by which whole towns
have furnished quotas UPON PAPER. with
out giving the army single man. A
number of men have been arrested by Col.
Baker, charged with being implicated in
these monstrous swindles upon the govern
ment, and it is to be hoped they will suf-
fer the just punishment their crimes de-
serve.
After Col. Baker cleans out New York
we hope he will turn his attention to other
localities-say Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont. We believe that even
here in Vermont many towns have voted
and paid money to fill their quotas with
out giving single man to the army.
The iniquity of this substitute brokerage
business is monstrous. There are now
greater rascals at Windsor out of the
prison than in it, and these men are in
the substitute business.

Shocking Calamity.

A very destructive and disastrous fire
occurred at Philadelphia on Wednesday.
The fire broke ont in some sheds that We're
used for storing refined coal oil. and some
20 900 barrels of oil were burned. The
burning oil flowed in every direction. and
the streets soon became terrific seas of
flames. swallowing alike dwellings and
persons. Some fifty large dwellings were
destroyed, and very many persons were
rendered homeless. Many were driven
from their homes only to be burned TO
death in the streets in which they took
refuge. As many as twenty persons per-
ished in the flames. The following is the
Geographic account: The fire originated
in Blackburn & Co.'S sheds for STORING re-
fined oil in bond. Twenty thousand bar
rels of oil, most of which was insured in
New York, were burned. The oil that
escaped from the burning barrels poured
into Ninth street and down to Federal. fill
ing the entire street with lake of fire and
igniting the houses upon both sides Of
Ninth street for two squares. and carving
devastation into Washington, Ellsworth
and Federal streets, both above and below
Ninth street. Fully five squares of bouses
were on fire at once. The scene WAS ono
to make the stoutest heart culver Men
women and children were literally roast
ed alive in the streets. Capt. Joseph ii.
Ware, five daughters and two sons met
with a sad misfortune. They all succeed
ed in getting into the street from thei r
house just as they left their beds. but found
themselves in sea of fire. The family
became scattered. Mrs. Ware had her
youngest child in her arms and was en-
deavorlns to escape, when she fell, and
both herself, the child and another dauah-
ter 10 years of age, were burned to death
IN the street. Capt Ware and his two
sons escaped, but the other three daugh-
tiers are missing.

The O,aacard March.

ONWARD moves the world, and with it
the political sentiment of the people. The
Presidents famous letter, "To whom it
may concern gave the welcome note Of
progress to the world, which fully harmo-
nizes with the music of the Union in
every part of the land. The spirit of
freedom is the spirit of the people, and no
party or conclave, political or otherwise,
is able to stay its onward march. Sla-
very, the Esum of all villanies, and sole
cause of this great rebellion, is doomed to
be swept from Columbias fair land, and
its handouts, gang-chains and auction
blocks are to be thrown overheard, to rest
henceforth and forever with the racks of
the inquisition and the other Internal en-
ginery of the dark ages. The people have
decreed it at the ballot-box; congress and
the states will give it validity, and honest
Abraham, Columbia's honored chief. will
add his seal and publish it as law to the
world.
With such prospect in view, who will
say that the Goddess of Liberty is destin-
ed to defeat? that the snake of secessia
will ever triumph over right, justice and
humanity 1t will never be! "An men
are created equal" reads the declaration
Upon that truth was based the American
government, and it is the government, and
expresses the will of the American peo-
pie.
Republicanism is opposed to secession
and the despotic rule of the slave oligar-
chy of the south, as freedom is to oppres-
sion, as right to wrong. True democracy
offers no word Of hope or cheer to traitors
at home or abroad, who would rend the
fame of liberty, make slave auction-block
of its altar, and forever shroud in gloom
the cherished hopes of the millions in 9TH
err lands, who are watching with anxious
eyes the great struggle now waged between
freedom and despotism in America, and
looking with hope and confidence to this
continent for success in free government.
That hope and confidence is sure and un-
wavering in the heart of the American
patriot. The darkest day is past, the
cloud is passing over, and new light ap-
pears. And when the hour of final VIC
tory shall come. as come it will. let our
hearts be prepared to give Inference to
that full measure of joy that should thrill
in every patriotic bosom. and our love of
liberty and humanity be rendered the more
full and complete by ever and anon.

Survey for the Pacific Railroad from
Hnlt Like to CnlEfornln-Northern
Line fIlc Most Direct.

I5
Mr.. s. D. Reed, Chief Of Engineers Of th.
Pacific Division Of the Union Pacific Railway,
and party, numbering thirteen persons, re.
turned on Friday from their exploring trio to
the Humboldt. That division Of the line
comprises the Intervening space between the
summit Of the Rocky Mountains md the
eastern boundary Of California, the California
Pacific Railway Company building the road
eastward to the last named point.
Mr. Reed and party left this city Aug. 1, to
run preliminary line lence to the Hnu-
boldt Valley. Commencing at tile northwest
corner Of the city, they run westward to and
between Black Rock and Salt Lake, through
Tooclc Valley, three miles north OF Grants
vile, round northeast point Of mountain
range into Skull Valley, aud over the Cedar
mountains. Two lines were here run 10 the
drsert-one by way Of Granite Mountain to
hcddfng's Springs, near the north end Of Go.
shute Mountains; the other through pass
further north 10 tho desert, which the party
could not prosecute further, owing to ab.
sencc of wnte.. They, therefore, moved
west eidc Of the desert, and nm three lines
over tho Humboldt mountaln5-a high and
rugged rnuge. Tie south line was run from
the mail station In Ruby Valley through the
Humboldt Pass md the north line from near
the junction Of the forks of the Humboldt
eastward through an easy pass into Clover
Valley. thence 10 Inc desert 10 meet The line
run to the desert from the cast and discontip-
ued through the difficulty Of obtaining
water.
EThe northern line Is the most direct, and
Mr.. Reed thinks It By far the most practica-
BILE, the other passes through the Humboldt
range presenting considerable difficulties. BY
the northern line, about 20 miles would carry
the rails from this city into the Humboldt
Valley, with no heavy work. and grades of
not mora than sixty feet to the mile through
the Cedar Mountains, and forty to the mile
through the Humboldt range.
The party, like all explorers In that region,
had occasional hard times for water. One
night, on the west side Of the desert, they
Travelled twenty-five miles alter finishing their
days work, md then wero Obliged to camp
without water. Next morning, eight miles
further, they found the much-needed liquid.
MIR. Reed would have continued his line
