S. 5-20'S." These letters nean United States bonds, running wenty years, vvith the privilege of redeeming in gold at fivo yeara from date. Chey bear six pur cent interest paya)le seiui-annually n gold, and at the )resent rate of premium on that once common coin, are as good as the best secured business paper hearing nine er cent. We know of no better investment for money. In another eolïmn we extract an article from the Philadelphia North American pertinent to the subject. jUT" Indica tions are that Congress will immediately either largely iocrease he $300 commutation of drafted men, or repeal it altogether, and require either the man or a substituto. We think the latter will be done. In view of this no stone should be left unturned to fill the quotas of the peveral towns of this county. If bounties will not get men at home, let active agenta )e put in the field to get thera elsewbere. Tbre ie no time to lo.
