We are compelled to say frankly to our subscribers that this advance is tod small at present prices of material and labor. We must either add another fifty cents or reduce the size of the paper. Which shall we do ?] Out readers will not be surprised to learn that we are compelled to follow the univer sal upward movement of pijiyfes and to ask an advance upon our present terms. We cannot tell them how often, since the open ing of the year, we have been compelled to submit to this process ourselves, in every department o f our work, We must now ask our subscribers to aid in bearing these accu mulated burdens. We shall add but a small percentage to our former charges, believing that the increase of circulation will be suffi cient, with this charge, to meet the addi tional expense to which we are subject. We therefore call their attention to the follow ing announcement: * > INCREASE OF PRICE, . From and after September First To Mail Subscribers per annum If paid within three months - - To City Subscribers per annum If paid within three months - - Clubs of ten or more by mail to one address, always strictly in advance and in one remittance, each - - - By carrier, each - - - - - - - . Ministers and ministers’s widows, sup plied at club rates. Home Missionaries if paid within 3 months - - - The same liberal premiums for new sub scribers will be given as heretofore—so ets., for a single subscriber and $1 00 each for three or more. (See advertisement for the premiums.) Subscribers, new or old, whose year begins before the First of September, are not sub ject to this charge until the commencement Of their new year. m-% AND DESIRABLE PREMIUMS. We are able to announce some valuable to our list of premiums which at the present season of high prices we are sure will be appreciated by our friends, and es pecially by our ministerial brethren, whose inadequate' salaries forbid any large appro priations for hooks. D-R. SHEDD ON CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE. For four new subscribers and the pay, $lO. in advance, we will send, post paid, the new and valuable work of Dr. Shedd, of Union Theological Seminary, New York, on the History of Christian Doctrine, in 2 vols. Svo., price $O. This great work is now in the third edition, and would prove a most welcome' addition to a .minister's libi’ary. CONYBEARE AND HOWSON’S PAUL, For five new subscribers and $12,50. in ad vance we will send, post paid, a copy of this standard popular work, indispensable to every student of the life and epistles of the great apostle. JOHN HUSS AND HIS-TIMES, We are still sending this great work, writ ten in the fresh graphic style of Mr. Gillett in response to orders from those procuring new subscribers, and have more copies to be disposed of in the same way. Sent' for four subscribers, and the pay, $lO, in advance. NEW TBAOTS ON THE USE OP TOBAC CO, AND INTEMPEEANOE. We have received a package of tracts from the author, Bov. George Trask, Fitchburg, Mass. Among them are “Popular Poisons“ A Word to Wives Mothers and Sisters on the Evils of ■■To-. ' bacco “ Boys Cured of the Tobacco Mania;” “ The Drunkard’s Home;” “Tracts for our Army and Navy,” &c. Like all of Mr. Trask’s attacks on rum and tobacco, they are pungent and di rect. He reminds us of a good man who said “it was a luxury to sit up nights and hate slavery.” Mr. .T- cordi ally, thoroughly hates the use of tobacco and alcohol —habits always having a, strong affirfity for each other. Ho one ever thinks of a bar-room without the blended odors of strong drink and tobacco. He urges that the two are among the most deadly foes to health, clear: thought, and sound, morals, either in or out of the army. The writer sends to any address the full value of money received'' in packages of these tracts. The friends of humanity and of the army will not forget this worthy objeot. ACADEMICAL HONORS.

THE PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE, Our readers in this state are, we sup pose, anxiously awaiting the prompt action for which our state legislature w;as summoned in special session. It was certainly to he expected that its attention would he given first and in cessantly to some reliable system of state defense. So 1 far, it has been, dis appointing and painful to witness the ■usual strife for measures of mere local and selfish interest, under the drive of the unscrupulous “.ring” which has so long been the bane of our publio legisla tion. At this hour the state aslrs of its legislators only the one thing which three years ago might have saved our south ern border from fire and pillage, and the proud name of Pennsylvania from dishonor —the thing which may yet secure us from another of that series of invasions which are bringing upon us the jeers of all rebeldom. Do, Honor able gentlemen, give one short session to the necessities of the state. - $3 00 - 2 50 - 3 50 - 3 00 Death of Prof. Hadley. —We are inexpressibly pained by the announce ment of., the death of Rev.

A fuller notice will apper in our next. - Pastor Eutugian of the Pera Church, Constantinople has joined the Episco pal Church and has been re-ordained by tho Bishop of Giberaltar. The Subscriptions to the new Seven- Thirty loan are going forward at the rate of about a million a day. THE AMERICAN S. S. UNION. Upon comparing of the reports of the M ssionaries for the month of June, with tir .Sse of the same month last year, re ptr, (ting 131 new*schools—we find June 64 returns 242 schools organized (an in crease of 111) into which Were gathered 9560 children taught by 1783 teachers— showing most conclusively that thd work is goißg steadily'forward, for which the Christian people of our land should thank. God and take courage, giving to His name all the praise for the great success which crowns the labors of the mission aries. In one of the above States nearly all the churches are closed, but all the schools are in successful operation. An old gentleman remarked with tears, “ Bro. M., one hope yet remains, —-these Union S. Schools.: if that snaps we are gone; unless we can save the young our ruin is complete. May God bless and prosper the great American S. S. Un ion.” The Missionaries have visited and aid ed 381 other schools with 2551 teachers and 17843 scholars, and encouraged them by making 338 donations of books and papers, they have travelled either afoot or on horseback, in wagons or by rail -3d 19987 miles, delivered 561 addresses, -1 iited 2556 families and distributed ! Bibles and Testaments. fhe receipts for the missionary work :J- iiDg the month were $5646.82. The S. S. Missionary finds many a cheering incident in the course of his labors to en courage .him. in his work. A school was organized on one of the prairies .of the west where there had never been a S. S., before, and was furnished with a library donated by an Eastern School. “Sqme months after,” writes the Missionary, “ I was passing through the neighborhood I called at a farm house to inquire after the school, I found an old woman at home with some very small children, ‘ Have you a S.'S; about here?’ I enquired, ‘ Oh yes, and a right good thing it is too/ said she, 1 1 have a heap of grand-children and they all go every Sunday and it keeps them from other rudeness, and I tell you stranger/ she continued with emphasis atd looking me earnestly in the face, 'they learn a heap of things there that they never would have thought Of, and the books they bring home, they’re des perate good books, these children are reading them all the while and they are mighty taken with ’em.’ I asked if she did not read them too. Mo stranger, said she, her countenance falling, ‘ I fon’t read them, but the little children ®ad them all to me and I like them : fight well.’ This old woman had probably heard ?iid thought mors ca religion within a few months than she had done before for thirty years. By what other object could this have PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1864. been effected, than by the school, the children and the little books! We know of none, but such is the work of the American S. S. Union. IJ. S. CHRISTIAN COMMISSION. Gash acknowledgments for the week ending August 10th, 1864: Western N Y Chris Com, per J?

It is equally convenient as a temporary or permanent investment.

Its Exemption from State Or Municipal Taxation. But aside from all ihe. advantages weiiave enumerated a special Act of Congress exempts all bonds and Treasury notes from local taxation. On the average, this exemp tion ia worth about two per cent, per annum, according to the rate of taxation in various parts of the country. It is believed that tio securities offer so great induce meats to lenders as those issued by the government In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of private parties, or stock companies, or separate commu nities only, is pledged for payment, while the whole property of the 4 country ia held to secure the discharge of all the obligations of the United States. While the government offers the moat liberal terms for its loans, it believes that the very strongest appeal will be to the loyalty and patriotism of the people. Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits. The party depositing must endorse upon the original certificate the denomination of notes required, and 'whether they are to be issued in blank or payable to order. When so- endorsed, it must be left with the officer receiving the,deposit, to be forwarded to the Treasury Department.

Many thrilling scenes, including Mas sacre of St. Bartholomew,” instances of patient endu rance, even to martyrdom, and stories of want and exile welcomed for the love of Christ, lend a more than fictitious charm to these pages.

The wide demand for our CABINET ORGANS has induced dealers in some cases to advertise quite differ ent instruments as CABINET ORGANS, and in others to represent to purchasers that harmoniums and other reed organs are the same thing- This is xqt true. The excellencies of the ; CABINET ORGANS which have given them their high reputation, arise not merely from the superiority of their workmanship, but also, in large measure, from essential mfpsbencbs is construction, which being; patented bt us, cannot be imitated by other makers. From these arise their better quality and volume of tone, and capacity for ex pression. Evety Cabinet Organ has upon its name board in full, the words, - “MASON & HAMLIN CABINET ORGAN.” When a dealer represents any other instrument as a Cabinet Organ, it is usually a mere attempt to sell an inferior instrument on which he can make a larger profit.
