The great advance in everything con

&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

and have striven to make it a live and
readable paper. How IST I.lavg succeed

personal friends, to whom we etn,

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.

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

*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. While in

it fallen to our lot to publish the demise

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.

:BRO. 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

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.

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.

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. It is said that
extensive movements are in progress
which will cause the country more loudly
to applaud the -military-genius and ex
ecutiveubilitrof peneral chant tha9say

U. S. 10-40 BONDS.
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.

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.
