Agreeably to a promise made long siqce, we have not-pubiished quarterly, or even yearly, duns In pur columns, being fully convinced that they were only an anr. oy ance to prompt paying subscribers and I tad no effect upon the careless: On several occasions we have sent statements of {in debtedness to delinquents,- but they, too, have been neglected. A careful examination of pur snbseijip tion list, within the past: week, lias shown us that there was d tie us, a* the date of our last issue, $933.30. This amount is scattered over the country in half as many hands as there! are dolh rs, and to start out to collect it personally would be to earn it a second time. There are not ten men on oiir list jwho cannot! pay ns our due to-morrow, wefe we to call on diem-, and it would not take them five minutes to put the amount in a letter and forward it to us. With this amount Oiut standing, it must be plain td every man that we bare drawn from other source! to enable us to keep up pur paper. Thu is not honest. We are, robbing those who depend upon us for their support, and p iv ing to those who do not need it, simply becansethelatter are careless about ply ing their dues. -It now takes all wc get for subscription and: advertising to pay the expenses of our paper. If we do pot get it all, and promptly, somebody must suffer.; Our expenses must lie paid, cash down- ■ We cannot stand this way of doing business in these times. We do not be lieve that any of our subscribers intend to defraud us, or that they wish to keep us out'-of onr money, but they, through carelessness, neglect us. Within the next two weeks we intend to send to every s|ub scriber in arrears, a statement, of his in debtedness, and' we jyish our notices to receive attention.; We notice many pf our coterapo taries arC increasing their rates of sub scription and advertising. We give all our subscribers until‘the 25fh of August next, to square their accounts at pret ent rakes. After that date 33 per cent, vill be added to all accounts for subscript on, advertising and job work remaining un paid.. Self-preservation, the i first law of us to adopt this rule.— All now have fair notice, publicly, and all will receive a special notice, with st ate ment of indebtedness, consequently none can complain if we bold them to the new term# after the date mentioned. . Seeing bos' much tve are but of pocket on subscriptions alone, we think no one will compia in of our -irregularity of is When we have work on hand, that pay promptly.

Rebel Kaidebs ovebtaken.— lmportant des patches were received'here last night, from w,hich it is indicated that our forces are steadily and sue,-; cessfully pursuing the Retails who recently ravaged the eastern portion of Maryland, and that the pur suing party, is wresting large amounts of plunder from the Rebels. r General Crook, while.in the pursuit on Mon- ; day last, overtook the enemy at Snicker's Gap,: where.a sharp, and, for a time, terrific encounter, took place. The Rebels fought desperately, aux- : iuus to save the grain and cattle they hod succeeded: in cartying far from Mon-land. General Crook,; however, was as determined that.they should not. escape, and whipped them thoroughly, captaring; over three hundred wagons heavily laden with grain, and took many prisoners. As nsunl, the enemy left his dead and w-qnnded; on the field, to be buried and cared for by our. troops. ; v Aufdi. Catastophe.— On Wednesday; morning last three stories*6f the insane; female department of the Blockley Alms-; house, in West Philadelphia, fell to the ground, burying in the ruins some ,40 or 40 of the inmates, killing some 16 or 18 and wounding 20 |to 25. There are others, missing, but it is dot known whetherthey are killed or not. 1 ' line, \ ’5 US A Singular Incident.—Twenty years ago,’ says; thd Boston Gazette, a gentleman of this city Te-I solved to reraovej out ;West, and started for his des tination. In New York be stopped at a second class hotel, and while there was robbed of bis, purse, containing some two thousand dollars in gold. In the course lof his peregrinations he wag; successful, and had forgotten about bis loss, having? accumulated a ban dsome properly. When this; war broke out he was too old to enlist, but, feeling’ patriotic, he offered his services to Gen. Logan and acted as quartermaster to a brigade, one nighty on a march, the array arrived at a small town id Southern Alabama, and, according to orders he: took, possession of the inn for headquarters. While; talking with,the landlord ho discovered that he ! formerly kept a hotel in New York, and, upon: pressing his inquiries, found that he was the iden-/ tical landlord of the bouse in which he had heed robbed. In the course of the evening he arranged a mock court-martial, and brought the landlord;’ before it, charging him, among other things, with' the robbery. Much to his surprise the landlord; confessed the robbery, and he had his choice to restore the money or die at sunrise The man re-! reived his principal, and all the interest the land lord could afford to. give In gold, which the gentle-, man invested in United States 7-30 notes. tars pur the (up. \ on lock A Liverpool “IjiAttK,” —ln the late “Ala* bamu” excitement inj England, a deal of amuse-: ment was created one morning on the Liverpool Ex-i change, In consequence of some wags having dres-- sed up a notot ions pjqr head character known n. 4 “ Captain BUI Brock/ 1 and paraded him tip from the great landing stake as the veritable Captain: fsemmes. The personal appearance of “ Captain Bill” resembling vert much the photogrttphof the famous Confederate! cruising captain; and as. Captain Semmcs was! expected in Liverpool, the: sell took amazingly. I Uiind reds of people followed: Bill throngh the streets, and, as be was kept in the dark concerning tjhe part he was playing in] the hoax for some time, the affair ended in a most: laughable denotlmcnf. Captain Bill was' lus tily cheered wherever he appeared; but, when’ some enthusiastic admirer of the Alabama's com mander, cried out, Three cheers for Captain. Scmines," Bill smelt powder,and taking to his heels was never overhauled- until he was in hi* lodgings off Old hall street. The lark passed off - with the: utmost good humor, and both the partizana of the North and Sooth [seemed to enjoy the fun. ' Philad' * Sow, ns ever &c., JOS. R. FINDLEY Uarrishurgh, July 20 th Good Words from an English Journal. * The ♦dlowing article from the Newcastle (Eng land) C/tronicle, is rt sharp rebuke of the British tories who presist in coloring events in the interest of. the rebels:— “ It is a melancholy reflection, that on no ques tion in our day has so ; much want of candor been displayed, or so much dishonest perversion been re sorted to, as on this question of American revolt. The origin of tbe war, 'the object of the war, the progress of the war, the spirit in which the war is conducted, in spile of the clearest possible facts, have, one after the other been disputed, denied or perverted. “ When Southern politicians, from Davis to Toombs, and from Stephens -to Spratt, tell us that they design to establish a Government. bused on tbe bondage o( the laborer; when the Bishops of tbe Episcopal Church declare that the.“abolition of slavery is hateful, infidel.and pestilent," ami the Kev. Dr. Palmer adds that “tbe providential trust of the. South is to prepetuate the institution of do mestic slavery now existing, with the freest scope for the natural developmentwhen the statesmen, journalists, and divines of the South join in one chorus of admiration for slavery, people among ns are yet dishonest enoogh to aver that the question of slavery neither had nor has anything whatever to do with the Rebellion of the South ; that that Rebellion was simply and entirely a question of tariff! “ Precisely the same spirit is shown ;in dealing with the events of the war. When Sherinan drives Johnston into the interior of Georgia,; Johnston succeeds in drawing Sherman from his b;ise.— When Grant attacks Lee'in front, he is credited with the, qualities of a bear. When he outlianks Lee he is afraid to meet him ir. the field. When he at last succeeds, by strength, courage or strate gy in driving him from Fredericksburg to Rich mond—why, then we are told that the Federal General might have reached that jaunt long ago. While tbe opposing armies were on the Rupidun we had no end of predictions that Gram would never see Richmond. When he at length does see it, we are assured that Grant is a fool for not taking a shorter route. Ever since Butler landed on the James River we have had almost daily assurance that the next mail would bring us news of his^havingbeen driven into the river. On the other hand every repulse of the Federals, how ever trifling, has been magnified into a route: while more than one success for the Confederate.- has been reported and gloried in twice or thrice over. If one had only read the exclusive news of the Copperhead newspapers only, one would have been sorely puzzled .to understand how it is "that, the North is not overrun ; that Washington is not des troyed, and that the armies of the Potomac and Cumberland exist at all. In the same, if Senmu-s didn’t take the Kearsarye, it was only been use his ship was out of repair and his unemv 'w,n ciuii u plated. Semmes wasn’t heart-n, bo Onl.v 'commit - ted a ‘mistake.’ But if the cntitS are severe on the Fedcrals, they are exceedingly charitable to the slaveowners.. Semmes burns unarmed’ ships ; runs away form the Federal cruisers ; lit*!.- the tin .r in his firsdfaTr encounter, and the critics cs 1 lira:.- his gallantry and call him a hero. Like Mints in the constitutional axiom, the slave owners can do no wrong. - They shoot aegro teamsters at .Mur freesboro ; they give no quarter to the mgr,, troop., at Fort Hudson: they binned alive the n -t'o garrison at Fort Pillow, and never a'word .of pro test or censure is uttered by the critic-. Tit. v chain cannon balls to the legs of Federal olhcc.V a,t Atlanta ; ; they starve Federal prisoners at Ri-iK-' Isle; they make arrangements to blow up a miii tary prison -at Richmond ; they sLuiglilci- iii*-n, women and children in Kansas : tbev plav at nine pines wild the bones of the Federal dc..d ; rle.-v commit every conceivable atrocity, and inanv atio ctries that are absolutely .inconceivable, vet no Confederate comnicnta'or on the war goes om () f his way to condemn them. Quantrel is an ener getic officer; Forrest is an able cninnmnder. and Winder is the mildest of jailers.

Washington, July Id, 18Gi.— Whereat, by the act approved July 4th, 18(14, entitled “an act furtberto regulate and provide for the enrolling und calling out the national forces and for oilier pur poses,” it it provided that the President of the United Statra may, “at his discretion, at nnv time hereafter, call for any number of men. as volun teers for the respective terms of one, two or three years, for military service,” and “that in case the quota of any part thereof or any town, town-hip, ward of a city, precinct, or election district, or of a county not so subdivided, shall not be filled with in the space, ot fifty days after such call, then the President shall Immediately order a dratt tor one ,ycar-to fill such quota; or any part thereof which may be unfilled.” - And whereas, the new enrollment heretofore or dered is so far completed as that the aforesaid act of Congress may now be put in operation for re cruiting and keeping np thestrength of the armies in the field for garrisons and such military opera tions as may be required'for the purpose of sup pressing the Rebellion and restoring the authority of the United States Government in the insurgent States: Now, therefore, I. Abraham Lincoln, Presiden t of the United States, do issue this, my call for.iOO -000 volunteers for the military service; provided, nevertheless, that this call shall be reduced hv all credits whfoh may be established nnder section Stlt of the aforesaid act, on account of persons who may have entered the naval sen-ice during tlx; present Rebellion, and credits for men furnished to the military service in excess of all heretofore made, Volunteers will be accepted under this call for one. two or three years, as they may elect, and will he entitled to the bounty provided by the law, for the period of service for which they'enlist. And 1 hereby proclaim, order and direct that immediately after the oth of September, 18G4 be ing fittv days from the date of this call, a draft for troops to serve for one year shall be had in every town, township, ward of a city,' precinct or election district, or county not so subdivided, to fill the quota which shall be assigned to it under this cull or any part thereof which may be unfilled hv vol unteers, on the said oth day of September, ’IBG4. in testimony vwhereof I nave’hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United Stales to be affixed. • Done at the City of Washington, this eighteenth day of July, in year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four, and of the indepen dence of the United States the eighty-ninth.

Gifts ,to the Christian Commission.—The United States Christian Commission: sent to the Army of the Potomac, pn the 20th, inst., from Philadelphia, a patent cooking machine designed for use especially after battle. It was presented to the Commission by the inVintOr. JaOtoh Damon, and was drawn through the city to-ddy, attracting f much attention. It consists of a wagitn, the fron t part of which looks like an artillery caisson, and contains bans for holding tea, coffee! bread, farina, and prepared beef. The' back part has three large boilers, under which rare furnaces, Porty-two gallons of coffee can be prepared 20 minutes’ after the fire is kindled. Enough food can be cooked in it to feed 400 men at one time well. It will-lia. ran excellent thing for the relief of the wounded af ter'battle. The president of the Christian Com mission informs me of the receipt of twenty-one thousand dollars for the Commission from Morgan county Illinois. Teh Ihousambof' this was con tributed by Jacob Straner, a wealthy farmer of that county. ; The Commission also received $5,000 to-day as a donation from the Penn'a Central Railroad company.

In such cases, however, a. person not liable til draft most be presented. A number of monied men in the cities are putting inirom three K> sii veterans each, by addingto the loca and government bounties, and in one place we hear of the ladies putting in substitutes in the same man ner.

Neither drafted'.men nor substitut, s furnished either bofoie or after the draft, arc enti tied to bounty from the United States. The lit.' as to whether the man is a recruit entitled to hour ty or a drafted man or a substitute not entitled : it, shall be noted on the enrollment papers an mustering rolls. James B. Fnr, Provost Marshal. Like many other orders from that quarter,'k think the above is nut clear. What is the diflii ence between a representative recruit apd. a sui stitute furnished before the draft ? If a man, In ble to the draft,' volunteers betweepr this time an the 3th.of September, he is entitled to the Goven bounty as a volunteer. On the other hand, if tli same plan furnished an acceptable substitute, wh is not liable to the draft, why should not that snl stitute; receive the Government bounty ? This rt quires explanation. We hope that Marshal Fi will throw no obstacles in the wity of speedy is eroding. IH.cidkdly Cooni*—A few days since,.we (th senior) received a letter from a Rehcj prisone now in Fort Delaware, giving us a’ffw items I reference. to a couple of relatives of the same naii who are down in ‘‘Dime.” How- he came by qt address we do not know, and he evidently was m intimately acquainted with unr relatives, else I would; haie known moth about our feiationshii He addressed us as their father, whereas onej them is tear our owp age and the other bn: a fe yeaA . younger. We conld not imagine why I should wtjite us on the subject, but Just at the hloi of the letter, he came to the point. The conclusit was that, |as he bad no friends in the North, at was iu need of a few articles, he hoped wo woo send him two pair of shoes, one pair for bimse and'the other for a friend who was in his fix ai out of the same article, also two shirts, and tl sapie of ijrawers/and Some chewing tobacco, ai requested [ that we put all in a carpet r bhg,'as I needed ah article of that kind also. That, « think, would be a pretty, fur price to pay for a .the information he gave us about bur sccond cot sins. . We have a heart to pity, and a hand to so ply rim wants of the unfortunate and the need .but we consider ouvßcbcl corresjjomient's sitnatii * P«l*ce compared with that occupied by Unit prisoners down Southland he must excuse us i, keeping opr shoes,jshirts, drawers ahd tobacco fe the use of Union prisoners. of a Church Oobker Srosa ts Ai toona.— The religious service* connected with th .laying of «he Corner Stonlof the Reformed Chntct now being built on- die corner of Etnmo an Clara streets, will takeplaceon Sunday, J uly 31., JB6U These services will commence at the foui datioh of the new Church, oti lO.o’olocfc, and ! concluded" with a sermon in the PresbyteriH Church, by Rev.
