We are compelled to say frankly to our subscribers that this advance is too small at present prices of material and labor. We must either add another Jifty cents or reduce the size of the paper. Which shall we do ?] Our readers will not be surprised to learn that we are compelled to follow the univer sal upward movement of prices 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 prooess ourselves, in every department of our work. We must now ask' ear subscribers to add in bearing these accu mulated burdens. We shall add but a small percentage to our former charges, believing that the increase of circulation will he 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 Citt Subscribers per annum If paid within three months - - 'dubs 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 cts., for a single subscriber and $1 00 each for three or more.'

DOMESTIC STATUS OF SLAVES, We are not surprised to see our [ V Southern brethren” on this subject Wincing under the scorn of the Chris tian world. The Harmony Presbytery has recently adopted six distinct recom mendations reported by the “ Commit tee on the religious instruction of the Colored people.” The first four recom mendations relate to the duty of Chris tian masters to secure the attendance Of their negroes upon public worship, to erect chapels on their plantations, to as semble them for morning and evening prayers. <£c. The fifth is, That some measure be adopted by Presbytery in re gard to the baptism of children of relieving parents; aud the sixth, That the Pres bytery exert all the influence possible to render sacred and prominent the mar <riage relation between tbe colored peo ple, and especially among the members of the Church. Wo think in relation to the fifth, that tho Presbytery will he puzzled to adopt any Scriptural order which does not involve a confession of parental ownership of the child. The sixth is inanifostly. impracticable under tho chattel system. Hence all such pi ous purposes are a farce until slavery is .eliminated from the theology of the men wh oput them forth. The Price or Gold has declined about 25 per cent, in ten. days, On Monday afternoon, it touched 236 in this city, but rallied to 288. This de cline results from the cessation of ex ports of gold, and the capture of Fort Morgan, with a general feeling of con fidence in the -militarysituation. In stead of sending gold abroad wc shall not be surprised to see it returning upon us at no distant day, so groat and con tinuous is the continental demand for our national stocks. The American people will gain new confidence in the -credit of their Government, at this speo taole of confidence on the part of strang -o <Ori Tuesday, the decline continued, aud at 12 o’clock M. tho price was .3-. REMARKABLE PIECE OP INTELLI- When bad news for the North crosses the water, even the newspapers friendly to our cause seem to lose their wits and insert the wildest stories of rebel suc cesses. Take the following from tho American summary of a late number of tho “ Banner of Ulster To add to their successes, the Confederates had defeated the Federal General Wallace, burnt the residence of the Governor of Maryland, and captured two rams, 'besides tak ing General Pemberton and his staff prisoners. . Wo have no doubt Gen. Early cap tured some “ rams” in Maryland, but of the pastoral rather than the aquatic sort, two of which would furnish little matter for boasting in trans-atlantic re ports. Wc suppose the Union General Franklip is meant, instead of the rebel victim of Gen. Grant at Vicksburg. It is in vain to hope for a healthy state of opinion in Great J3rit§in when such gross and absurd distortions of our affairs pass curront oven in the columns of friendly journals. INDEPENDENT METHODISTS. This name has been assumed by seve ral churches, beginning with that of Eev. Dr. H. Mattison, of New York. A Methodist church in Cincinnati, lias re cently gone over to them. Their pecu liarities are the independence of each individual church as to its property, its business, tho choice of its pastor and the tenure of his continuance ; dispens ing with bishops, presiding ciders and ordained deacons; welcoming Calvinists and Arminians alike to membership; liberty of choice respecting the mode of baptism; recommending, but not enjoin ing attendance upon class meetings. From the name adopted, wo suppose there must be some Methodist feature re maining to this new connection, but wc do not exactly sec it. - $3 00 - 2 50 - 150 Government Stocks Abroad.— The Paris correspondent of the New York Times says that in Frankfort-on-the- Main more American stocks are bought and sold in one day than of all the Eu ropean stocks combined. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES AS AN IN VESTMENT. There is one view of investments in Go vernment stocks which has not been gene rally taken. If taken by shrewd capitalists and speculators, it has not been generally considered by the people. It is this: When, after a long suspension, specie payments are resumed, all stocks andallprioes immediately and largely decline, but Government stocks do not materially decline. This fact we assert on the ground of historical experience. It is true that in the War of 1812-15 Government stocks fell, at one time,, to GO; but most of the banks were then suspended or bankrupt, and there was comparatively little currency in the country to buy stocks with. But suppose the gold value of Government stocks were this day 60, (the lowest they, were ever till now sold at,) the market yalue at the present rate of gold would be 135,- while in fact the stocks are Billing below 105. Sup posing then, that the?market price of Go vernment securities were, by the resumption of specie payments, to go down to 70 in July, the decline would be 85 on 105, equiva lent to 33J per cent., while the decline on a railroad stock would be nearly or quite equal to the whole present difference between gold and paper. A common railroad stock, Sell ing now at 105, would decline to 55; or,-in' the best supposable case, to 60. This is illus trated by the history of every suspension of specie payment, we have had, and there are many business men who will recollect what the prices of produce, stocks and all saleable commodities were-after the, commercial re vulsions of 1837 and 1839-40.. In 1841, ’42 and ’43, prices were reduced to a degree how scarcely credible. But Government stocks did not fall materially. - On tho contrary, it is a settled principle deduced from all expe rience in England and this country, that Government funds do not fluctuate to the same extent as other kinds of property. Thero is good reason for it. The time, rate of interest, and security are all fixed and permanent. There may be some variations in the market price, owing to the greater or less bulk of the entire currency, but there can be none in the intrinsic value; and hence it is, that his torically the fluctuations in the value of Go vernment stock have beon comparatively small. In all the recent-commercial fluctua tions of England (in some of which there has been a complete prostration of all other property), the variation in British consols has not beon over five or six per cent. This cannot be said of any other kind of stock. Of railway and bank stoeks the great varia tions and at times wonderful depreciations are notorious. Sudden commercial revul sions have reduced these. stocks to one-half their price. Supposel- then, that with gold say at 90 now, and Government stocks at 105, there should be a resumption of gold payments in one year, (and this is a supposi tion which: may become a fact,) what would be the-relative effect on three kind? of stock —say Government at 105, bank at-118, and railroad at 120 7. In all human probability the resumption of; gold payments in a year would bring them to these relative prices, viz: Government, 90: bank, 85 ; railroad, 70, Judged by historical experience, this would be nearly the relative result. The conse quence, then, is that the Government funds depreciate 15 per cent., the banks 25, and the railroads 50. It is more probable, if this statement be thought erroneous, that the actual results would be much move in favor of Government. But we merely give this as an illustration of a general historical truth, that on the resumption of specie payments, or on the occurrence of a great commercial revulsion, the fall in Government stocks will be far less, relatively, than the fall in any other kind of stocks. The practical inference from this is plain. The purchase of Govern ment stocks being made for investment, xt is a far safer and more profitable investment, for the Mure, when gold payments will be resumed, than any other. _ , Now nobody can doubt that the war (that is, tho areat bulk and expense of the war,) will be'over in a year or bo ; and when that occurs, there mill come a gold standard.; and then, when others are lamenting over the fall of stocks, the holder of the govern ment loans will have no fall to lament. He "ill i„ fact/profit by , that change which injures the holders of other property. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1864. GENOE. MORE REBEL BARBARITIES. CONDITION OF UNION PRISONERS IN GEORGIA, Among the passengers who arrived at New York on Monday evening Aug. 22, by the Arago, from Hiltou Head, S. C., were four exchanged prisoners—Messrs. E. Bates, 42d New York; P. Tracy, 82d New York; H. C. Higginson, 19th Illinois and S. Noirot, sth New Je;sey—commissioners appointed at a monster meeting of the 35,000 Union prison ers confiined in Camp Sumpter, Anderson ville, Ga., to wait upon the Executive at Washington with a petition praying that immediate action he taken to terminate their sufferins, by parole or exchange—sufferings described to be almost incredible. Thousands of these prisoners have spent from eleven to fifteen months in Belle Island and Camp Sumpter; andnoword ofhopeever reaches them that they will be exchanged. Indeed, so terrible is the agony of mind en dured by the prisoners that dozens of them are shot down weekly on the “ dead line,” where they rush and invite the guards to kill them, in order to terminate their suffer ings—an invitation always carefully complied with; being in strict accordance with the in structions to the guards to shoot any prison er who infringes on the “ dead line.” These are terrible facts to lay before our Government and the public, and cry aloud for immediate and effective action on the part of those whose duty it is to protect those who have fought so nobly, so unselfish fly, and patriotically for our country. THE MEMORIAL Of THE UNION PRISONERS TO THE PRESIDENT. Confederate States Prison, 1 Charleston, S. C., Aug.—, 1864. j To the President of the United States : The condition of the enlisted men belong ing to the Union armies, now prisoners to the Confederate rebel forces, is such that it becomes our duty, and the duty of every commissioned officer, to make known the facts in the case to the Government of the United States, and to use every ; honorable effort to secure a general exchange of prison ers thereby relieving thousands of' our com rades from the horrors now surrounding them. For sometime past there has been a con centration of prisoners from all pa- ta of the rebel territory to the State of Georgia—the commissioned officers being confined at Macon, and the enlisted men at Anderson ville. Recent movemeuts of the Union armies under Gen. Sherman have compelled the .removal of prisoners to other points, and it is now understood that they will be re moved to Savannah, Georgia, and Columbus and Charleston, S. C. But no change of this kind holds out apy. prospect of relief to our poor men. Indeed, as the localities se lected are far more unhealthy, there must be an increase rather than a diminution of suffering. Col. Hill, provost martial general. Confederate States army, at Atlanta, stated to one of the undersigned that there were 35,b00 prisonere at Andersonville, and by all accounts from the United States soldiers who have been confined there the number is not overstated by him. These thirty-five thou sand are confined in a field of some thirty acres, enclosed by a board fence, heavily guarded. About" one-third (?) have various kinds of indifferent shelter; butupwaids of thirty thousand are wholly without, shelter, or even shade of any kind, and are-exposed to the storms and rains which are of almost daily occurrence; the cold dews of the night, and the more terrible effects of the sun striking with almost tropical fierceness upon their unprotected heads. This mass of men jostle and crowd each other up and down the limits of their enclosure, in storhrorsun, and others lie down upon the pitiless earth at night with no other. covering than the clothing upon their backs, Tow of them having even a blanket. Upon entering the prison the man is de liberately stripped of money and other pro perty, and as no clothing or blankets are ever supplied to their prisoners by.the rebel authorities, the condition of the apparel of the soldiers, just-from an active campaign; can be easily imagined; Thousands are without pants or coats,land hundreds with out even a pair of drawers to cover their nakedness.. - ' To these ‘men, as indeed to all prisoners, there is’issued threequarteraof a pound of meal, and one-eighth of a pound of meat per day. This is the, entire ration," and upon it the prisoner must live" or -die. The lineal is often unsifted and sour, and the meat suoh as in the North is consigned to the soap maker. Such are' the rations upon which Union soldiers are fed by the rebel authori ties, and by which they are barely holding on to life. But to starvation and exposure, -to sun: and storm, add the sickness Which prevails to a. most alarming and terrible ex tent. On an average one hundred die daily. It is impossible that any:' Union soldier should know ali the facts pertaining .to this terrible mortality, as they are not paraded by the rebel authorities. Such statement as the following, made by —, speaks elo quent testimony. Said be: “Of twelve of us who were captured six died, four are in the hospital, and I never expect to see them again. There are but two of: Us left.” In 1882, at Montgomery, "Ala., under far more favorable circumstances, the prisoners being protected by sheds, from one hundred and fifty to two hundred were sick from diarrhoea and chilis, out of seven hundred. The same per percentage would give seven thousand sick at Andersonville. It needs no com ment, no efforts at word painting, to make such a picture atand out boldly in most hor rible colors. • Nor is thus all, Among the ill-fated qf the many who have suffered amputation in con sequence of injuries received before capture, sent from reb'el.hospitals' before their wounds ‘were healed,, thereare eloquent witnesses of £bie barfeariues of which Jbey are victims. If to these 1 ficts is added this, that nothing more demoralizes soldiers and'develops the evil passions of a man than starvation, the terrible condition, of Union prisoners at An deraonville can be readily imagined, , They are fast losing hope, and becoming utterly reckless o? fife. Numbers, crazed by their sufferings, wander about in a 3 tate of. idiocy; others deliberately cross the ‘'dead line,” and are remorselessly shot down. In behalf of these'men we most earnestly appeal to the President of the United States. Pew of theni have been captured except in. the front of battle, in the deadly encounter, and only when overpowered 'by numbers. They constitute as gallant a portion of our armies as carry our banners anywhere. It released, they would soon return to again do vigorous battle for our cause.- We -are told that the only obstacle in the way of ex- change is the status of enlisted negroes cap tured from .our armies, the United States claiming that the cartel covers all who serve’ under its flag, and the Confederate'States refusing' to consider the colored soldiers, heretofore slaves, as prisoners of war. We beg leave to suggest some facts bear ing upon the question of exchange, which we would urge upon this consideration. Is it not consistent with the national honor, without waiving the claim that the negro soldier shall be treated as prisoners of war, to effect an exchange of the white soldiers f The two classes are treated differently by the enemy. The whites are confined in such, prisons as Libby and Andersonville, starved and treated with a barbarism unknown to civilized nations. Tht blacks on the eon- trary, are seldom imprisoned. They undis tributed among the citizens, or employed on Government works, Under these circum stances they receive enough to eat and are worked no harder than they have been ac customed to be. They are neither starved nor killed off by the pestilence in the dun geons at Richmond and Charleston. It is true they are again made slaves ; but their slavery is freedom and happiness compared with the cruel existence imposed upon our gallant men; They are not bereft of hope, as are the white soldiers, dying by piece meal. Their chances of escape are tenfold greater than those of the white soldiers, and their condition, in all its lights, is toler able in comparison with that of the prisoners of war now languishing in th a dens and pens of Secession!. While, therefore, believing the claims of our Government, in matters of exchange, to be just, welare profoundly impressed with the conviction that the circumstances of the two classes jof soldiers are so widely different that the Government can honorably consent to an exchange, waiving for a time the es tablished-principle justly claimed to be ap plicable in|he case. Let thirty-five thousand suffering, starving, and dying enlisted men aid this appeal. By prompt and decided action in their behalf thirty-five thousand heroes will be made happy. For the eigh teen hundred commissioned officers now prisoners /we urge nothing. Although de sirous of returning to our duty, we can bear imprisonment with more fortitude if the enlisted men, whose sufferings we know to be intolerable, were restored to liberty and life. n ibt The PAabyterian Committee of Home Missions 21c* knowledge the receipt of the following contributions duringthf month of July: FenfcdaTn&ctfurob, Mich $l5 00 Hoilpy y « . « 28 72 Allegan j “ t: In part. 300 Schoolcraft “ t{ 18 60 Unadilia I “ “ 10 60 Manchester 44 9 45 Springnbit) 41 10 50 13th st.
