Ans~er. Ii cannot be taxed by
States, Counties, or Cities, and this
adds from one to three per cent. per
annum to the net income of the hold
or, according to the rate of taxation
in various localities. All bonds and
stocks, except those of the United
States, and ell mortgages, &c., arc
taxed, not only by the Government
but by States, Counties and Cities.
Sh Question. How does tho Gov
eminent raise tho money to pay the
interest, and is il safe and sure?
by taxes, internal revenue, and duties
on imports, fully three hundred
millions each year. This is nearly
three times as much as is needed to
pay the interest on all the debt, and
as soon as tho war is ended, the
amount not needed to pay the interest
will DO used in paying off the debt
Os~ Gccers@sst has tVics paid off all its
debt, and can easily do SO again. The
interest is sure 70 be paid promptly,
and the debt itself is the very safest
in the world. 1t is as safe as mort
gage on good farm, and pays bet
ter interest. 1t is, in fact, First
Mortgage on all lands, all, incomes, all
railroad and canal bonds, and bank
or other stocks, mortgages, &c.
Nothing can be safer, for we are all
bound for it, and all that we have is
firmly held for the payment of princi-
pal and interest. How foolish those
people are, who keep their gold and
greenbacks idle and locked up, or
purchase mortgages or railroad stocks
and bonds, which pay only 5 or 6 per
cent. interest, when these Seven
Thirties pay counting the premium
on Five-Twenties,) over ten per cent,
and are much safer and sursr.
9h Question. How many Seven
Thirties are there, and how much
remain unsold?
-Ansteer. There are only about three
hundred and twenty-five millions au-
thorized by law, and only about one
hundred and ninety millions remain
unsold.
lOh Question. How long will it
take you to sell the balance?
Answer. There arc about 500 Ma
tional Banks all engaged in selling
them also. a large number of the old
banks, and at least three thousand
private bankers and brokers, and
special agents will be engaged in all
parts of the country in disposing of
them to the people.
1lh Question. owlong will il take
to sell the whole?
Ansper. In loss than three months
they will be all sold, and will no DOUBT
then sell Mt pramium. as was tho
case with the old Soyen-Thirtios, the
first Twenty Year Loan, and the Five
Twenties.
Tho above questions and answers,
it is believed, will give full information
to all. If not, the General Subscrip-
ton Agent, or any of the Banks or
Bankers employed to sell the Loan,
will be glad to answer all questions,
and to furnish the Seven Thirtiss, in
small or large sums las the notes are
issued in denominations of $50, 500,
$500, $1,000 and s5,000,) and to rem
der it easy for all to subscribe-thus
fulfilling the instructions of Mr..
FEssENDEN, who earnestly desires that
the people of the whole land, las well
as the capitalists, shall have every
opportunity afforded them of obtaining
a portion Of this most desirable inrestment.

ONCE, THROUGH THE NEAREST RRspoS-

NULLrFIcArIoN.-With all the force

+ m The favor with which Ills suggestion
~ -,n received, We are sure that IN The
dr-.d event which it contenp plates, our peo'
ne would infinitely prefer an alliance with
European nations on terms as favorable as
they could desire in preference to the do
uinion Of the Yankees. We will not dwell
upon that suhec; now. We speal; Of them
not out Of gloomy for bolings, bat simply
as man in health speaks Of his viii
Wha, we asl; now, in the name Of tho
people. Is, that the Government strain e>,r'
energy and develop every resource for the
public defence. RrmemJg? chat to hold
back anything is not to save Il. The ouly
question is shall We have the use Of il, or
shall our enemies, Such a question leaves
no room to hesitate. Upon such efforts and
such devotion heaven viii surely send its
blessing. But II misfortune should still pur.
sue us and our hopes all fail, let US have the
election Of throwing ourselves into the bands
Of those who are cold and Indifferent rather
than to fall under the yoke Of malignant
enemies raising the wof's howl f}c our blood.
We could not haye avoided the struggle
into which the North has forced Us. Long
ago Lincoln declared that the Republic could
not exist half slave and balf free. In various
forms the people Of the North pressed the
issue upon us. Our enemies heJged us round
and finally drove us to the wall, The worst
that can happen to us in prosecuting our de-
fence is the best that they designed for MS in
the beginning, and far better than they will
accord to Us if they triumph in their aims
Providence has marked out our path, and
both led and urged our steps. Il las been
to US tie inevitable path of duty.
If in pusuine 1t we fail this were to fail
as nations never failed belore. Providence
will not suffer us to 60 down If we show a
proper devotion, a proper wisdom, and a
proper courage. Let our wise men plan, let
our brave men fight, and let our good men
pray. God will open up way Of escape
for It's and will disappont oul enemies. Let
our faith fail not,
