It was'telegraphed North, a day or two ago, that a picket near Fort Ethan Allen, was shot at on Tuesday night by guerrillas; but Union men from that section deny that any guerrillas have been about there fora long while. The soldier shot at was not at the time on his post of duty, but was engaged in robbing a, hen roost—an act of plunder to wich residents in that neighborhood have of late been grievously subjected’ by soldiers, who sent out for picket duty, leave their posts to make these unlaw- tul foraging expeditions. Loyal citizens suffer alike in this respect; and ‘they say that if the officers in charge of *pickéts would not wink so very hard when such practices are going on right under their eyes, there would be no occasion to burden the | telegraph with reports of pickets being fired on ; —*! in close pro ximity to our forts, Rurnovs IMPORTATIONS.—It will be seen in the Senate proceeding of yesterday that the {m- portant joint resolation which originatedin the House.et Representatives has been and when signed by the President it will ‘have the force of law.

Subseriptions to these Bonds are re- ceived in United States notes or notes of National Banks, They até TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN. at the pleasure of the Government, at any period not less than ten nor morethan forty years from their date, and until their redemption FIVE PER CENT, INTEREST WILL BE PAID LN COIN, on Bonds of not over ene hundred dollars annually andon allother Bonds semi annually. The in+ terest is payable on the first days of March aol SeptenBer in'each year: : Registered Bonds are recorded on the Books of the United States Treasurer. and can be trans: ferred only on'the owner’s order. Coupon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more convenient for Commercial uses. Subscribers to thisioan will have the option of haying their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying the accrued interestin coin—(or in Uni- ted States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent, for premium,) or receive them drawing interest from the date of subscrip- tionand deposit, Asthese Bonds are exempt from municipal or State taxation, their value is increased from one to three per cent, per annum; according to the rate of tax levies in various parts of the country. At the present rate of premium on gold they pay over eight per cent. interest in currency, and are of equal convenience as a permanent or temporary investment. It is believed that no securities offer so great induceménts to lenders as the various deser{p- tions of U.S. Bonds. In all other forms of in- debtedness, the faith or ability of private parties or stock companies or séparate communities only is pledged for payment, while for the debts of the United States the whole property of the country is holden to secure the payment of both principal and interest in coin. These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from $50 up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and the largest capitalist. They can be converted into money at any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of the interest, The fact that all duties on imports are payable in specie furnishes fund for like payment of in- terest on all Government Bonds largely in excess of the wants of the treasury for this purpose, Instructions to the National Banks acting as lean agents were not issued from the United States Treasury until March 25, but in the first three weeks of April the subscriptions have average? more than TEN MILLIONS A WEEK. Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer of the United States at Washington, and the Assist- ant Treasurers at New York, Boston, and Philadel- phia, and by the FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF WASHINGTON, FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF - BALTIMORE, FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF PHILADELPHIA, and by all National Banks which are depositaries of public money. All respectable banks and bank- ers throughout the country will furnish further information on application, and afford every fa- cility to subscribers. ap2-Iw WANTS, ANTED—By a respectable young woman, a SITUATION, to co general housework..Ad~ dress Box No. 4 Star Office.

THE U. S. Two HUN*RED MILLION FIVE Per Cent. Loan.—Elsewhere will be found an advertisement of the 10-40 bonds, which just now afford the most favorable investment ‘before the public. The loan is limited te two hundred millions, and, being payable, princi. pal and interest, in gold, (on five per cent. gold interest, equal to 7x ors per cent. in currency, ) is being subscribed for by the People at a rate Promising to speedily absorb the wholeamount of the loan. It is a noteworthy fact that the €ntire public debt of the United States is not more than one-fourth of the public debt of Great Britain at the conclusion of her great ‘wars in 1816, in proportion to the Property of the two countries; and also that when the 10-40 bonds are due, with our present ratio of in- crease of national wealth, double our present mational debt wonld not be a charge of five per cent. on the property of the country. &7J.

THE BANKS DISASTER. —————.—_— (By Independent Line.) New York, April 29—The Times has a ‘Washington “special” dispatch that the reason Tor the withdrawal of the French ships is the jnopportuneness of the time of their visit.

Se Admiral Porter, writing to the Navy De- partment, off Grand Ecore, La., April 14, of the condition of the fleet at that point on bis retura down river after the repulse of the land expe- dition, says: «I found the fleet at Grand Ecore somewhat in an ua; twoot them pleasant situatic being above the bar, and not likely to get away again this season, unless there is s rise of a foot. I could not vide against’ this when over a hundred up theriver. Ifmature doesnot change her Jaws there will no doubt be & rise of water; but there was one year, 1846, when there was norise in the Red river, and it may happen again. The rebels are cutting off the supply by diverting different sources of water into other channels, ail of which would have been stopped had our army arrived as far as Shreveport.” MOSEBY SENDS A MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT LINCO: D GOVERNOR PIERPONT. About ten days ago a lady, a resident of Fairfax county, whose husband is a refugee, visited the upper part of the county to carry ot some stores belonging to her, and while there the rebel guerrilla Colonel Moseby rode up, and after some preliminary conversation as to her business, and withontany attempt to molest her, asked her for 8 pair of scissors, and cut- ting off a lock of his hair handed it to her and told her to present it to President Lincoln, and also to tell the President that he (Moseby) ‘would be down shortly to make his personal acquaintance. He further requested her to go to Alexandria and see Gov. Pierpont, and say to the Governor that he (Moseby) was obliged to him for liberating the negroes of Virginia, and that he (M.) had been working for that same object for a number of years. Moseby requested Pierpont to be informed also that he ‘would visit him in the course of two or three weeks, but he did not know how agreeable the visit might prove. NAVY-YARD—DEPARTURE OF.

BLatr.—The President sent to the House yesterday a reply to the res- olution of the House in reference to the position in the military service of F, P. Blair, jr., stating that prior to and at the commencement of the present session ot Congress Robert Schenck, of Ohio, and F. P. Blais, ie of Missouri, were in the military service holding commissions as Major Generals. That before the meeting of Congréss General Schenck tendered his resig- nation, in order to enable him to take his seat as a Representative, but that it was understood that if during the session he should desire to recall his resignation, he should be allowed to do s0, and be restored.to his rank as before. That Binir-was engaged in active service and did not reach the Gapitol until a month after the session had commenced, and that he claimed the same privilege. That recently he has recalled his resignation and has been assigned to a command; and that he, the President, believed that it was competent for him to so restore him withou -appointment, New Yerk Stock List—First Beard. {By the People’s Line.] U.S. coupon 6's, 1881, 114, U.S. 5.90's, 112; Certificates of Indebtedness, 95; Gold, 150; N.Y.

It is thonght they will exonerate Gen. Hurlburt, as it is generally conceded thatthe force at his command was inadequate to deal vigorously with Forrest. LOOAL NEWS. ai COMMITTED TO THE OLD CAPIToL.—Mrs. Wm. Key Howard, who was arrested in Bal- timore some days ago upon the charge of hay- ing recently come from the South and engaged in blockade running and carrying on a corres- pondence with the rebels, arrived in this city this morning, in charge of an officer, and was committed to the Old Capitol. At the time of Mrs. Howard’s arrest a number of letters were found in her apartments, which were taken pace of by_the military authorities at ‘altimore. Mrs. Howard had hardly reached her quarters in the Old Capitol prison before a number of ladies who came to this city in the same train with her were making efforts to ob- tain a pass for the p ose of carrying her a package said to contain clothing. Whether their efforts met with success we are unable to Bay. —_— ae A New STATION-HOUSE.—The first new sta- tion-house will shortly be handed over to the Police Commissioners by the city authorities. It is located on south D street, between Sth and 6th streets east, has a front of 50 feet by 40 feet deep, two storiesand a basement. Theentrance door leads to a convenient office, with a large platform, furred up for the Sergeant in charge, with space for a telegraphic operator. A neat iron. railing separates the platform from the remaining part of the room. Adjoining this public office, aad occupying part ot front of building, there is a private office. In the rear there Is the officers’ sitting-room, Roundsman’s room, and 4 passage which forms the sole access to the yard, it being held that all ingress and egress should be strictly controlled. The second story is occupied by dormitories for a large number of officers, each of w! has his own cleset. A bathing-room and water closet are located in this story. The coal cellar is located in the basement, as is also a portable furnace; which heats the whole building. Gas ang are introduced throughout the bui e- In the rear of a paved yard there isa de- tached prison of two stories in height. The sheet iron entrance door leads through an arched Fee, to six prison cells, each one of which has a bench with head-rest, a hopper, supplied with Potomac water, and one iron plate, laid in solid concrete, for a floor. The cells are shut by doors, in the construction of which wrought iron bars have been combined, #0 as to present, with least weight, the essen- tials of strength and a neat appearance. Iron stairs, outaide the yp, lead tothe second story, which is divided off in two rooms for malé and female lodgers. These rooms aga in have water accommodations, and will receive berths for Sleeping. The exterior ot the station honse is plain, but executed in tasteful solid work; wood having been done away with, exceptin the crown. moulding of main cornice, which is protected by tin. Ithas a bold ceatral pro; ion, bart up higher than the sides of the building, which very appropriately we think, gives the station a castellated appearance to stronghold of pape safety, which thus forms an ornament the neighborhood. It is to be regretted that its location prevents the public atlarge from observ: it. Adolf Cluss and W. Kammerhueter were the architects, Joo W. Angus was the contractor, Thomas Lewis attended to the brick work, McLellan executed the iron work, and Sibley did the plastering. , ee gimzmurorrovs MARRIAGE — Last night, Sinden mamebe pot ona are, kieked rhe dis- fight and was, very , ‘ha’ face bruised and sc: cher. atest epee LOtF saa her. ai made | ust WAS ‘ , station, ene nil night, and_ epee fined $3.
