TO OTIR PATRONS. 0 • The great advance in everything con nected with printing—in paper, ink, type, &c., compels us, much against our incli nation, to make a slight advance in our job work and advertising rates, which will take place on and after this date. With this issue conciudes the firstyeaF we have been connected with the Colum bia Soo We have labored assiduously, and have striven to make it a live and readable paper. How IST I.lavg succeed .cd, we leave our patrons to judge. We have a large number of highly esteemed personal friends, to whom we etn, brace this opportunity of expressiug, our grateful thanks for valuable favors rc ecired at their haudx, The patronage conferred upon the Spy, both in advertising and subscription, has fully met our expectations. It is our ambition to publish an interesting flunily newspaper, one that may be read without impropriety at the domestic fireside. The rapid increase of material and our unavoidable expenditures, cmtpels us to ask of our patrons a prompt payment of their bills. Everything since the com mencement t)f our career as a publisher, has been steadily advancing. Thus while our expenses have been always on the rise, our receipts have not corresponded, and our scale of prices has been unvarying. Under these circumstances no reason. able person will fail to see the justness of our demand for higher rates. We are now paying snore than double the price for paper that we did a year aao, and arc subject to heavier expense every way. We feel assured that a slight advance in our job work and advertising rates, will not be disregarded. We shall spare neither labor nor ex- pease in making /Ws Spy an interesting and attractive family paper—,one that will become a welcome visitor, aud a source of ploasurp and profit to every lover of choice reading. Also a valuable paper for business men in all parts of the county. *DeatirOrXara A.'Kelsey On Saturday last we were startled by the painful announcement, by telegraph, of the death of Major Kelsey, of the 45th Regiment Pennsylvania Veteran Volun teers. He 'Pas shot through the fleshy part of the leg, above the knee, at the battle of Cold Harbor, on the 4th of Junei he was carried to Washington and placed in Armory Square Hospital, Ward "I," on the Bth of same month, where, suffer ing from his wound and fever, he died on Saturday morning last. His body ar rived here on Monday morning and MIS taken possession of by a committee of Councilmen, and buried in the cemetery on Tuesday. from the residence of Mrs. Brown, followed by a large concourse of friends. Maj. Kelsey, at the time of his death, was thirty-four years old. Ile was born in . the State of New York, and came to Columbia about nine years ago. His pro fession, while bore among us, was that of a teacher, and we all knew him as a in id ost, unassuming gentleman. At the com mencement of the rebellion he enlisted as a private in the Shawnee Guards, the first company that was raised in Colum bia. lie was clouted second Lieutenant, and soon afterwards advanced to first Lieutenant, and served with credit and distinction through the three months campaign—after which time, he, with Capt. Rambo, commenced recruiting en .other company for the three years service, in which they succeeded, and were at tached to Col. Welsh's oommand—the 45th Regiment, which was shortly after wards ordered to Washington, and from thence to South Carolina, where the un fortunate death of Capt. Rambo oceured; after which Lieut. Kelsey received a commission as Captain. The regiment moon embarked for Newport News. And ou the resignation of Lt.-Col. Bearer, Capt. Kelsey was commissioned Major. From Newport News they went to Alex endria, and from thence into Maryland, and took a conspicuous part in the battles of South Mountain and Antietam. Kvents hare proved that the confidence his friends reposed in hini,have been in 're than they anticipatd. llis gallantry iu leaving his ambulance, while sick and unable fi r duty, and making his way to the regiment and fighting through that bloody day at South Mountain, is an ex ample of heroism seldom equaled, cod never excelled. The trials and privations _his regiment endured during their trans it through Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi, M well known to our citizens. The siege of Vicksburg and afterwards pt Knoxville, the taking of Jackson, sissippi, might ell be related.

"Requieseat in puce." -EDITOR Fo.r , the Spy. Pennsi.vania B. i 1 R a 9 Company. It is to be regr,ited that the facility for improving the route of the Penn'a. Rail road company thr,tugh our B )rough, which was offered by a majority of our citizens and town council, has not been accepted by the managers of the Rail road. The present route on Front street with its severe curves and heavy grade would hardly be tolerated by any respectable Rail Road Company in the country when another site, containing the advantages of that, proposed east of the present track could be secured. We have always es teemed ourselves a friend of this great internal improvement of our State, the Pennsylvania Rail Road, even when many croakers were much exercised about it as a great monopoly which would usurp for its own exelasivo bene fit all private and incorporated rights and prlsleges which might oppose it. 'lita,ro.stAy von Urn _ admit that we perceive some ntanifesta t tion on the part of the company, of the Ivery disposition which our croaking friends, fq? pre he aded. - We are informed not officially, but possibly correctly, that the company, to make a convenient and proper connec tion with the bridge, and also to avoid the heavy grade, on the present route through our boreugh, contemplate an ejeve ion of their track on Front street seine four or six feet higher then it is now located, much to the detriment and depreciation of property situated between Mill street and Black's Hotel. The con suniation of this latter project, would effectually depreciate the value ofprop erty situated as above described at least sfifty per cent while the road emparitive ly would be only slightly improved. We presume it will not be impertinent in a citizen who feels an interest in the welfare, progress and development of our town and community, to enquire what public advantage and benefit have been confered upon our borough or our busi ness community by this magnanimous company, who have the dispensing and bestowal of public and private favors, and accommodations. Have they given us a central passenger depot? Have they in creased the facility for trade or com merce by any public improvement since they have occupied the Road ? • Our municipal authorities have iinpor tuned then, on many occasions for o ten trail passenger depot, arid the only re sponse we receive, is the chuckle and sneer of two or three individuals who con ceive themselves the especial favorites of the company, and the recipients of its bounty, and who carry five passcs fur travel over the entire road, These same gentlemen claim to have thwarted the most feasible and practical rout?, for the road through our borough. not on account of the feasibility of the proposed route, hut because it would pro mote the interests ofother rail road en terprios which they could not control.— , The same individuals have never expen ded a single dollar fur the improvement of our town, neither have du%) added an iota to its development. We had hope ! that a totvri containing some eight thousand inhabitants, and which furnishes fur transportation an amount of freight perhaps, greater than any other on the line of the Pennsylva nia Rail Road, excepting Philadelphia and Pittsburg, would possibly have ob tained a respectable hearing in relation to its grievances, but of this we despair so long as fossilised old fogyism, influences the managers of this great line of'.itn.

RAMBO : I presume you think that I intend deserting your eolums rbitve long and necessarily been: silent, my duties have been arduous, and with difficulty I could find time to write a few words home—but I shall endeavor to give you•in a few days a letter of some length, providing paper enough can be raised. Since the battle of May 6th I have been separated from my regiment almost entirely on Hospital duty, so that I cannot give items as I should like to. The Spy turns up regularly—some times a little old, but always welcome.— The 45th has done nothing in this cam paign to dull her former good name—the Columbia boys, as well as all therest have suffered liearily, and we lament the loss of many brave comrades. Col. Curtin was wounded in the righ arm,on the 18th inst., while at the head of his brigade, during a slight skirmish. lam happy to say that the wound was but a flesh one, un fitting I I him for duty—but we hope soon to have him back again. The Colonel has won laurels for him-',. self and brigade—though a young man, he has proved himself an efficient com wander. Our regiment is now comman ded by Captain Gregg, of company "F." Samuel M. Hinkle of company "B" re- 1 ceived a severe though not fatal wound on the 18th inst., also Sergeant Wm. F. Armstrong, of the same company, wound ed in thigh. They are doubtless ere now in Washington, and the company in los ing them, loses the services of two good men. Early yesterday. morning, First Lieut. Wm. It Child, of company "F,' was shot through the head by a sharpshooter and killed. A little more than two weeks ago he was promoted from Sergeant Major to First Lieutenant, and on the evening of his death received his commission. Iu him the regiment has lost one of its brav est and truest soldiers—a kind and trusty comrade, and beloved by all. Long will his memory be bright to those of us who pass through this fiery ordeal. Lieutenant Child came oat at the or ganization of the regiment as a private in company " B." Merit won for him the respective grades of Sergeant, Sergeant Major, and finally First Lieutenant. llis home was in Marietta, where I know a large circle of dear friends will long feel the loss of one who died nobly in the de fence of principles and liberty, and under the glorious old banner of freedom. May we trust that he has passed to that bright realm above where trouble is no more known. Ile was but 23 years old. Tho Cihritstiom Srmitiairy Commis sion are doing a noble work, and many a soldier has cause to bless them. Fraternally yours lIE.A.D QUAIL, 2D RE(I. ART., P. V. Near Petersburg, June 23, VI J MR. Emma :—Thinking that some of your readers, and my friends in Colum bia would like to hear from us, I will endeavor to write a few lines. The 2nd I'. V. Artillery left Washington, D. C. on the 27th of May last, and arrived at Front Royal after three days ride on the waters. While on our voyage we stuck on a sand-bar, and had to get transporta tion on the boat Georgia the remainder of the way. We rested one night at Front Royal ; the next day we started on a long ' and weary march, and arrived at Cold Harbor, where we were under fire for eleven days, when we again struck tents —and marched that night 25 miles through dust over shoe top halting at the White House Landing, where we got aboard of a boat and came up the York River,enter ed the - Bay, passing Fortress Monroe, and down the James river to City Point, where we formed a junction with Gen. Butler. We were then under the command of the gallant Gen. Smith, and in the 18th corps. Our regiment has been out skirmishing and lost about twenty five killed and NO wounded and missing. I tell you what, the colored troops fight wicked, and make gallant charges— they take no prisoners as they remember the Fort Pillow massacre. We have been encamped for the last two days, near a little stream; end it is amusing to see the bays busy at washing —.as they have a good wash, not being able tUr the rebel shells, to wash for some time, as the robe's would shell oar corps every day, but no one hurt.— We were ordered back to Bermuda Hun dred, and when we got within smile, we rested for the night. The next wording we were ordered back on a forced march. as General Lee had taken possession of Reservoir Hill. Our forces captured 17 guns and took between five and six bun tired prisoner. Oar regiment is in good health, con sidering the way we were knocked about. Last night was•the first good nights sleep we got for some time. We will stand anything, just so we can help to end this infernal rebellion.3We all . wish we could celebrate the coming Fourth of July, with Grant. as he did the la 4 st, by taking Atlanta and Richmond—what a glorious celebration that would be. Ilopeing these few lines will be read with interest T remain-years, Mu. EDITOR. The excessive hicat.of the'past few- dale was sufficient to tarn thz attention of the "idler around town" to the refreshing breezes of the woody grove; but we accept this heat, as it mare readi- ly matures our coming harvest products, without which we would be deprived of a far greater blessing than that of a cool atmosphere. Matters and things in York are ex tremely dull, nothing transpiring to arouse our citizens from the lethergy of the hot summer season, into which they are now plunged. . . . The strike among the mechanics is nearly at an end, all having agreed upon terms except those of the Railroad Company, whose employers still persist in giving no more than the old daily pittance. . . . The drafted men of York county are, this week, being ex amined at the Court House--grim faces and greenbacks predominate. From the number making application for exemp tion, not here alone, but throughout the loyal States, would lead a person to be lieve that there is no more able-bodied men in the country—what strange things are brought to light by "war and rumors of war" . . . On last Thursday morning, being convinced that a hot day was in store Br a ns, attA hearing of a pic nic to be held on that day at Imtnel's Spring, I concluded to "take time by the forelock" and pay it a visit, more partic ularly as I was well acquianted with all at tending it, thus insuring me a pleasant day. It was indeed a splendid day for a rustic gathering, and you may well be lieve that njoyaient was overflowing with plentioess, The yoing ladies in atten dance were quite an attraction, for the beauty and grace of whom, York can proudly lift its head aloft and defy com petition from the world. The merry laugh and song of these fair creatures rang through the air with such enraptur ing glee, that I stood spell-bound and wished the pleasures of the day to last forever. But as everything has an end, so did the pie-nic. the party starting for town about 7 o'clock in the evening. By the-way, Mr. Editor, I must tell you about two young kid-glove sports from York, whom we will designate as "Billy Jones" and "Mikey .Nicholby." They made their appearance on .the ground about noon, pasted and greased up to sublimity, and from the odor which attended them you would think they had made use of all the muskrats ever caught in the Co dorus during the last century. They en deavored to captivate everything on the ground, but the young ladies, being more generous than they, gave their attention to others, who4tteudotl, tha t pic-nic with more sociable titan I these would be aristocratic gents, which made them look quite crest-fallen. Toward evening, Billy became "hic, how come you so," which obliged Mikey to give up his little enjoyments to attend the pranks of Billy. Thus was the, day spent by these paste and perfumery gentry, they being obliged to tarry by the way-side, on going home, in order that the shades of night might shield them from the street-boy's jeer.— Mr. Editor, my hat is tipped—adieu. I remain an old RUSTIC RAMMER. KEYSTONE [lt is heart-cheering to hear and read the words of encouragement which comes to us almost daily, especially when a por tion of these messengers are accompanied by substantial pecuniary aid. Asking the Doctor's pardon, we give a portion of his letter below.—J lo.] CINCINNATI, 0., June 22, '64. ItA3ll3o,—Dear Sir—lt is right and proper that you should know how much your efforts to impress the charac ter and appearance of the old Sip is ap preciated by its old friends. I have known it intimately well for thirty yearq, have served it personally : first as carrier, under BoswELL; and then as a wor7•iw/ loofer,",underßow s EN aC GOSSLEEL It is not strange, therefore, that I feel a per sonal pride in having the old Spy loot,• well, and still more to read well. I was a little fearful, at first, when you seated yourself in the editorial tripod, and surrounded yourself with a corps of correspondents, most of whom were en- tirely unknown to the old friends of the Spy. That we would lose our first love for the old paper, as it became entirely controlled by strangers. Time, however, has dissipated our fears, for in the main, we find them genial hearted, and disposed to do right. If the contributors have not manifested that maturity of thought which wiser heads so much court, there has been no want of• heart in mush that has appeared. Altogether, I offer you my congratu lations on the stmcess of your manage ment of the Spy, and sincerely hope the friends of the old paper will give you a sabstautal testimonial of their apprecia tion of your services, by responding promptly to the "important notice," which you have recently brought to their obser vation. Respectfully, N. B. W. There is nothing of importance from the Army in front of Petersburg, save that our left wing has moved forward and hold the Weldon railroad.

I=l These Bonds are issued under the Act of Congreasof March Stb, 186 C-which provides that all Bonds issued under this Act shall be EXEMPT FROM' TAXATION by or under any state hr municipal authority.— Subscriptions to these Bonds are received in United States notes or notes of National Banks. They are TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the Govern ment, at - any period' not Use tea Mon nor more than forty year., from their date, and until their redemption FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN, on Bonds of not over one hundred dollars annually and on all other Bonds semi-an nually. The interest is payable on the first days of March and Septemlierinteiii• Subscribers will receive either Register ed or .Donpon Bond", as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are recorded on the books of the U. S. Treasurer, and.cart be tranfer red only on the owner's order. Coupon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more convenient for commercial uses. Subscribers to this loan writ have the op tion of bowing their Bonds draw interest from March let, by paying the accrued in terest in coin—(or in United States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent. for premium,) or receive them drawing interest from the date of subscrip tion and deposit. As these 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 partsof the country. At the present rate of premium on gold they pay Over Eight Per Cent Intent in currency, and are of equal convenience as a permanent or temporary investment. It is believed that no securities offer so great inducements to lendersns the various descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of Indebtedness, the faith or ability of privato:,,parties or stock companies or separate 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 Val 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, andthe holder will have the benefit of the interest. 5 40 700 525 8 25 7 75 700 It may be useful to state in this connec tion that the total Funded Debt of the Uni ted States on which interest is payable in gold, on the 3d day of March, 1864, was 8708,903,000. The interest on this debt for the coining fiscal year will be $45,037,128, while the customs revenue in gold for the current fiscal year, ending Juno 30th, 1864; has been so far at the rate of ever Ifloo,ooo, 000 per annum. It will be seen that even thepresent gold revenues of the Government are largely in exvess of the wants of the Treasurer for the payment of gold Interest, while the recent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the annual receipts from customs on the same a mount of 1 inisirta lions, to $150,000,000 per annum. 7 00 Instructions to the National Banks aetilig as loan agents were not issued from :the United States Treasury until March'. 26th, - out tne 'first Llttetweeks - orAprn Oaf subscriptions averaged more than TEN MILLIONS A WEEK.
