QJNITED STATES
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN.
THIRD SERIFS,
TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS.
By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, the
undersigned, the General Subscription Agent for the
sale of United States Securities, offers to the public the
third series of Treasury Notes, bearing seven and
three-tenths per cent, interest per annum, known as
the
SEVEN--THIRTY LOAN.
These notes are issued under date of July 15,15C5,
and are payable three years from that date in cmret*
cy, or are convertible at the option of the hblder into
U. S. FIVE-TWENTY SIX PER CENT.
GOLD-BEARING BONDS.
These Bonds are now worth a handsome premium,
and are exempt, as are all the Government Bonds,
from State, County, and Municipal taxation, which adds
from one to three per cent, per annum to their vulue, ac
cording to the rate levied upon other property. The
interest is payable semi annually by coupons attached
to each note, which may be cut off and sold to any
bank or banker.
The interest at 7.30 per cent, amounts to
One cent per day on a SSO note.
Two cents per day on a SIOO note.*
Ten cents per day on a ssoo note.
Twenty cents per day on a SI,OOO note.
One Dollar per day on a $5,000 note.
Notes of all the denominations named will be prompt
ly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions.
The Notes of this Third Series are precisely similai
in form and privileges to the Seven-Thirties already
sold, except that the Government reserves to itself the
option of paying interest in gold c iin at', per cent., in
stead of C 3-lOths in currency. Subscribers ml deduct
the interest in eurrency up to July 15th, at the time
when they subscribe.
The delivery of the notes of this third series of the
Seven-thirties will commence on the Ist of June, and
will be made promptly and continuously after that
date.
The slight change made in the conditions of this
THIRD SERIES affects only the matter of interest,
The payment in gold, if rjpide, will be equivalent to
the currency interest of the higher rate.
The return to specie payments, in the event of which
only will the option to pay the interest in Gold be avail
ed of, wonid so reduce and equalize prices that pur
chases made with six per cent, in gold would be fully
equal to those made with seven and three-tenths per
cent, in currency. This is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
Now ottered by the Government, and its superior ad
vantages make it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF TIIE PEOPLE.
Less than $230,000,000 of the Loan authorized by
Congress are now on the market. This amount, at the
rate at which it is being absorbed, will all be subscrib
ed fur within sixty days, w hen the notes will undoubt
edly command a premium, as has uniformly been the
case on closing the subscriptions to other Loans.
In order that citizens of every town and section of
the country may be oftorded facilities for taking the
Loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Private
Bankers throughout the country have generally agreed
to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers will select
their own agents, in whom they have confidence, and
who only are to lie responsible for the delivery of the
notei for which they receive orders.

PltlCE. 5 CENTS
NEGRO EMEI'TE.
From the Jiacon Telegraph 23d.
Our city was thrown into excitement yes
terday morning, in consequence of an an
nouncement, at all the African churches, on
Sunday night, made by some evil dispose®,
officious, and unauthorized parties purport
ing to lie from headquarters, which may
prove for a few days, a matter of serious in
convenience to housewives, but will finally
result to the greater detriment of the dream
ing darkey, whom through foolish and insane
zeal it was supposed to benefit. We have
been requested by the authorities to state
that such a course will not be countenanced
by them, but the of this folly will
meet with the punishment they so richly de
serve-
The negroes should be wise enough to look
to the future. They should ask themselves,
iu the event of their assumption of the privi
leges they claim, how they are to live. They
have been provided for without thought or
care on their part. If they#b;mge their social
relations, as many have done and others
promise to do, of course the obligation of the
former master ceases. The negro must de
pend upon his own resources. He must
work or starve. The change he designs to
make in his condition will not endow him
with the privilege of stealing, or living upon
the property of others. We repeat he must
work. Ana just now but little employment
can be obtained. White men are begging for
situations, and these will always be preferred
by employers. There is nothing to employ
the extra number that will be thrown upon
their own resources, it the negroes act hasti
ly. Thieving will not bp permitted, but
punished to the utmost extent of the law,
and the evil disposed may as well under
stand this.
One word to the masters. It will be the
wisest policy to at once prepare for-the great
change in our social system which now seems
inevitable. The change has already been
made by many, and some have testified to us
with the happiest results, pecuniarily as well
as socially. Some have demonstrated to
their own satisfaction that the system which
they had been taught to believe was indis
pensable, has really been a harden, and are
much better satisfied with the arrangements
they have made, than their fondest hopes
anticipated. Therefore as a general change
will undoubtedly he made very soon, by a
power that cannot Be resisted, the part of
wisdom will be to make it after preparation
to supply deficiencies in our households.
And-we would also counsel an unusual watch
fulness for the protection of property. The
Worst passions of an ignorant and hitherto
dependent people will have to be controlled.
Our people and the civil authorities caftnot
be too vigilant, and we feel assured the mili
tary authorities.uwill heartily second every
effort that may be made tending to the pre
servation of law and order. For this purposp
the army is among Us, and no disturbingele
ment will be permitted to riot in the rand.
Os this we have had official .assurances.

Railroad arp Steamboat Travel.— Of thfl
five railroad# Teilcung to this eitj% three, the
Macon and Western, the Soulh Western anil
the Macon and Brunswick, are in success
ful operation along their whole line,’together
with the several branches of the two former.
Trains are running regularly to Atlanta and
Thomaston, to Albany and Eufaula, and to
Buzzard Roost on the Brunswick road. The
Muscogee road, which extends from Fort
Valley to Columbus, is doing nothing. Gen.
Wilson’s command burned the Flint river
bridge,' seven miles beyond the former place.
The ears and engines had all been Wrought'to
this side. The main track was not material
ly damaged, and, therefore, as soon as that
bridge is repaired, communication with Co s:
lumbus direct will be resumed. Travelers
thence now go to -Eufaula and up the Chat
tahoochee by steamboat. • -
General Sherman’s army completely de
stioyed the Central Railroad for over one
hundred miles. No effort to repair the line
has been made by the-Company, but-it iB
reported that it has been repaired to Millen
on the Savannah end. A large force of-ne- .
groes under the direction of the military au
thorities :s said to be working upon it, but
the information is not authentic. Trains
run to Gordon and to Milledgeviile as usual.
Travelers going North from this city, gen
erally go down the Brunswick road to Buz
zard Roost, ana from thence by 1 boat down
the Ocmulgee and the Altamaha, to Savan
nah, or go by way of Atlanta to Augusta,
and from thence down the s%vannah river.
From Savannah they take regular ocean
steamers plying to New York.
To make a trip now to the southwest, is
as difficult as twenty-five years ago. Small
patches of railroad in operation with here ,
and there a steamboat, can be obtained, but
the best plan is private conveyance through
out.—Macon' Telegraph. •
Capture of Governor Harris. —The Cin
ciunat-i Commercial of May 22 has a despatch
from Nashville which reports the capture of
the rebel Gov. Harris, of Tennessee, and
$600,000 belonging to the State Treasury.-r-
The State archives and all the State bonds
have a|sO been captured.
Ordination of Deacons. —Last Sabbath
(May 21st) a most interesting and impressive
scene took place at the St. Helena Baptist
Church, situated seven miles from Land s
End on the road to Port Rogjd Ferry.—
Thirteen colored brethren were ordained to
the sacred office of Deacons of the large and
flourishing Church, already numbering 1500
members. Only a few Sabbaths since, Rev.
Abraham Murchison baptised there one hun
dred and ten willing converts who were re
ceived into the bosom of the church.— Port
Royal New South.
General Lee,, it is said, proposes, if per?
mitted by government, to retire to his estate
at White House, on the Pamukey river, and
there spend the' remainder of his days.
A SI,OOO dressing ca3e has been sent from
London to the Chicago fair, and it is to be
