Ths interest is juiyatile semi-annually by coupons attached to each note, which may be cut ull an.l sold to any hank or banker.

Tn*—r Absolute Siccritt.—Nearly all active credits ure now based on Oovernment securities, and hanks hold tlu-ii aa the very best and strongest investment they can make if it were possible lo contemplate the financial failure of ths Government, no bank would be any safer. If money la loaned on individual notes i.r bond and mortgnge, II 'will be payable in the same currency as the Government pays with, and no better. Tho Government never h. filled to meet, its engagements, anil the national debt is a first mortgage upon the whole piopiity iif the e.nuitiy Willie other stocks llm tu.it.* from ten to fifty, or even a greater per cent., Government stocks are always eoiupara tively firm. Their value is fixed and reliable, beyond all other securities; for while a thousund speculative bubble ■ rise and burst, as a rule they are never below par, and are often above. Its Liberal Interest—The general rate of interest Is six per cent., puyablo nnnually. This is seven and three- Isnths, payable semi-annually. If you lend on mortgage, there must be a searching of titles, lawyers' fees, stamp dutiss and delays, and you will finally have returned to you only the same kind of money you would receive from the Government, and less of it. II yon invest in this loan, you have no trouble. Any bank or banker will obtain II for you without charge. To earh notn or bond are affixed five "coupons" or interest tickets, due at tho expiration of such successive half-year. The holder of v note h»s simp ly to cut off one of these coupons, present it to the nearest bank or Government Agency, and receive his IntS—at; the note itself need not be presented at all. Or a coupon thus payable will everywhere be equivalent, when due, to mo ney. If you wish to borrow ninety cents on the dollar upon the notes, you have the highest Hecurity in the mar ket to do it with. If you wish to sell, it will bring within a fraction of cost and Interest at any moment. It will In very handy to have in the house. It 19 CoNTTOTIB_r. into a six per cent, gold-heal ing bom.' At tho expiration of three yenrs v holder of the notes a ths 7-30 Loan has tho option of aeceptiug payment in full •or of funding his notes in v six per cent, gold-interest Ismd tha principal payable in not less than five, nor more than twenty years f-om its date, as tho Ooverninent may elect These bonds are held at such a premium as to make this privilege now worth two or three per cent, per annum, and adds so much to the interest. Notes of the same .lass, is sued three years ago, are now selling nt a rate that fully proves the correctness of this statement. Its Exemption from State or Municipal Taxation — But aside from all the advantages we have .lniimeratod, a special Act ,'of Congress exempts all bonds and Treasury notes from local taxation. On Ihe average, this exemption Is worth about two per cent, per annum, according to the rats of taxation in various parts of the country. It is a National Savinoh Bank.—While this loan pre sents great advantages to large capitalists, it offers spt'cinl ndiu iiiieiits to those who wish to mako a safe nnd profita ble investment of small savings. It is every way the best Savings' Bank; for every institution uf this kind inns somehow invest its deposits profitably in order to pay in terest and expenses. They will invest largely in this loan, aa the best Investment. But from the gross interest which thoy receive, they must deduct largely for the expenses ..I the Bank. Their usuiil rate of interest allowed to deposi tors Is 5 per cent, upon sums over $500. The pirssm who invests directly with Government will receive almost f.O per cent. more. Thus the mnn who deposits $1000 in a •private Savings' Bank receives 50 dollars a year interest. If he deposits the same sum in this National Savings' Rank he receives 73 dollars. For those who wish to find a safe, convenient, and profitable means of investing thelrsurplns earnings which they have reserved for their old nge or for the benefit of their children, there is nothing which pre sents so many advantages ss this National Loan.

The Washington Chronicle, ot Satur day, contains the following story of a terrible wrong perpetrated on a free col ored man. "My name is Bichard ThomasUriftlu ; I am thirty-three years old. I was bought by my lather, Thomas Griffin, from Mr. Caldwell, of Washington, who ownet me until I was quite a boy. In 185b, think, Dr. Richard Lee, who owned a farm on tbe Eastern Branch, hired m as a body servant, under tho following, conditions : I was to remain with him ten years, to go where lie did and obe his orders. 1 was to receive at the en of my term of service tive hundred do lars,"it horse, a,'saddle and bridle, and -nit ofi loth"-*,'uud was to be taught read ing and writing. When the bargaii was made my father took me to the City Hall, in Washington, where I was re corded as n freeman of color. Mr. Nay- Jor can show you the record. We (Dr. .eeandl) went from Washington to Athens, Ga., where the doctor held a farm of three huudred and fifty acres. Here he bought a family of slaves. He was engaged in business in Augusta, Cm., where he spent much of his time. Just as the war broke out Dr. Lee moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, where he sold all his slaves, attempted to sell me, and bought the Tennessee Hotel. The gentleman to whom he wished tx -ell me was a Captain Arnold, of the rebel army, who was shortly afterward captured by the Yankees in Kentucky. The owner of the hotel at the time the sale of the property was mad. had a dif ficulty with Or. Lee. Captain Arnold told him ot the attempt to sell me to him; and the inn-keeper, out of spite tn Dr. Lee, told me all about it. After working about the hotel, doing a little nf everything, I was hired to Captain \Y. o*. Gammon, a quartermaster in the rebel army. He was under Major Glo ver; was a hard drinker, very profane and very rough. My duty was to haul forage from Knoxville to the cavalry camps Round tbe town. In a few months the quartermaster removed to Jonesboro', where bis family resided, taking me with him. About a mouth afterwards the Yankees occupied Knox-1 villi: when we niftved to Bristol, then to i 'Seven-Mile I'Drd, Virginia, where we I i.iained during lhe summer feeding •> -look.

I was carried to Captain Gammon, who dismissed the guards and aent me to my quarters. A -ient time after some of the hired men came to me and took me to the post hos pital, where I slept that night. The next morning Dr. Williams came to me and said : " Griffin, you shant run away Main; I'm going to cut your feet off." He made me drink something from a black bottle —it was not laudanum, for I know the taste of that—and 1 fell asleep. I awoke in the night, and found that both my feet were cut off. In the morn ing I began to feel pain. Dr. Williams came in and looked at me. He said Dick, I tried to kill you—you are a d—d bard nigger to kill; now, I'll try to cure I you.'

This is the plain, unvarnished story of a poor mutilated colored man. His lan guage we have followed as nearly a. pos sible. We have ween him, heard liin story, and cross-questioned liim; but lm answers are plain and unvaried. His two Teet have been amputated at the ankle, evidently by some one skilled in surgery. He cannot walk, but is obliged to creep. For no crime but that of an attempt to seek a better home—a light which even in tho South a free negro possesses—he ha* been made a ortpple for life. It was not the ball of a_oldler'_ pistol, tired in auger, that made this man a mere hobbling animal; it was the knife of an educated surgeon, applied in cold blood, at thesuggestiou of a servant of the Rebellion, no more culpable, no more demoniac than tiie operator him self. The victim of Ibis terrible act of cruelty lives at L'l-' X street, between (Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, and is without the means Of support. , ■ —. - - Sherman's Last.- Oeucral Sherman attended a picnic near Lancaster, Ohio, when on a visit to his old home iv that city, recently. A good many of his old soldiers were present, and he gave the* boys nnd the people generally one of his highly interesting and instructive talks. One of his points, says the Cincinnati ICoMiiict'ciul, will command attention : "When the Rebel- ventured their ail iv their efforts to destroy our Govern ment, they pledged their lives, their for tunes and their .acred honors to their cause—the Government accepted their wager of batt 10. Hence, when we con quered, we, by conquest, gained all they had--their property became ours by con quest. Thus they hist their slaves, their mules, their horses, their cotton, their all, and even their lives and personal 1 liberty \ thrown by them into the issue. 1 were theirs only by our forbearance ami I clemency. By this right, of conquest we own this around we ntaml tin to-day, conquered from the Indians —the Bhaw • uees, I believe. "The State of Ohio is ours by conquesi from the French ami English. "80 soldiers, when we marches 3 through and conquered the country o. these rebels, we became owners of al they had, and I don't want you to b< troubled in your consciences tor taking, while on our great marcb, the property 1 of conquered rebels. They forfeited theii rights to it, and 1, being agent for tht Government, to which it belonged, gave you authority to keep all the Quarter masters couldn't take possession of 01 didn't, want."
