SIR When You receive this do not
spend money from the city treasury by
telegraphing, neither had. you better
bother yourself by writing TO the police
in this city to recapture me, as | assure
YOU that il would be both time and mon
ey thrown away were you TO do so, and
am really anxious lest you spend more
money than is necessary on me. think
that Noble young State has spent enough
already in endeav0iing to make an honest
man of me, and the State has succeeded
IN its object
lido not want you to think that write
this letter in Boosting spirit l write
il to clear innocent men of any unjust sus-
picion that may rest upon them.
You will believe me, Mr.. Mayor, when
| solemnly assert that Messrs, Bovar,
Cole and Wesley We're entirely ignorant Of
any intentions that l ever had of escap-
ing, on the contrary both Mt. Bovar and
Cole have repeatedly advised me to give
up all idea of any such thing and they
always thought that had done so. On
the night of the oath of July Mr. Bovar
was to my certain knowledge asleep, and
slept soundly until awakened by thetpis
toll shots
If Mr.. Bower or Cole suffer on my &C
count shall be very sorry, and shall al
ways regret it.
lido not deeply regret the fate of More
land, as death itself is thousand times
preferable to spending the long term
that he was condemned for in that Hring
hell, and with such a man for master as
Mr. Jones. For the two wounded men
am truly sorry, and would esteem no
hardship too great could I be of sonle SER
vice to them.
have been here in the city some days
and new am ready to leave write this
to you. Of my movements l will say
nothing other than have no fear of ev-
er being taken. You will probably be-
Geve me when / say that l will die be-
fore l will ever be imprisoned in that Jail
again.
have no hard feelings against either
you or any of tho witnesses. AS for Mr..
Chandler have nothing but the most
sovereign contempt for him, indeed any
man cannot help despising suce creature
as he is.
am Mr.. Mayor" very truly yours.
Of course you will use this letter as
you see tit, but wish that you would
giveit to Mr.. Bovar.

Our readers vi u notice that subscriptions to the
popular 7-30 Loan are still continued In The most
liberal manner. To the Old World these Peoples
Loans Is one Of the wonders Of Republic. The
Government does not seek 10 borrow In foreign mar
kets; it offers no premiums to bankers, but appeals
directly 10 the people, and with what success Is sui
ncienly shown by the fact that during Jorfy-khree
days they subscribed and paid the cash down for
one hundred and siGtyons million dollars Of the
1880 Loan. Their can be stronger evidence of
public confidence in Government securities VIII lie
nearly all other stocks have gone down from tw enty
to hfy. and even gr eater per cent, within . few
weeks. all forms Of U. g. bonds and stocks have re-
NAMED firm except the slight fluctuations that are
incident to all rapid changes In the money market
Our readers will remember that the subscribers to
the 7-30 Loan receive semi annual interest At the
rate Of seven and thrseten tbs per cent per annum
In currency, and at the end Of three years from
June l5th 1862 they Will have tn option of recsv
ing payment In full, converting their notes into
$50 six cent. ,od int bond The late great
decline In the premium gold makes these notes
more desirable than ever - an investment, and It
should not be forgotten that their exemption from
state or municipal taxation adds largely to tn cir
value. There Is no In terruption in the receipt of
subscriptions or the delivery Of the notes All banks
bankers, aud others acting - Loan gents, will pay
subscribers the interest In advance from the day Of
subscription until June 18th.

rather obnoxious to the settlers along the
line Of the road; they seem to prefer the red
skins to the rebels. but if am rightly ;nfor

Everyone, both civil and military regrets
the removal of Gen'l Mitchell, although he
has been unsuccessful in Sighting Indians
but they also understood that it has not
been his fault, what could be expected Of a
man when it became necessary to keep a
road open of such length, witt only six

the line to be guarded, and keep ten or
twelve thousand hostile Indians at bay
