FORTY-FOUR COLUMNS OF READING MAT TER EACH WEEK I AT THE LOW PRICE OF ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS WREN SUBSCRIBED FOR IN CLUBS OF NOT LESS THAN TEN 'COPIES 70 ONE ADDRESS! We have been compelled to raise the club attbeeription price to one dollar and fifty cents in order to save our• selves from actual loss. Paper bas risen, including taxes, about twenty-Avtper cent., and is still rising; and when we tell owrdiamocratid friends, candidly, that we can no longer afford to sell the Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION at one dollar a year, and must add fifty cent? or stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate our position, and, instead of withdrawing their subscrip tions, go to work with a will to increase our list in every county in the State. We have endeavored, and shall continue our efforts, to make the paper useful as a party organ, and welcome as a news messenger to every fam ily. We flatter ourselves that it has not been without some influence in prOducing the glorious revolution in the politics of the State achieved at the late election; and if fearlessness in the discharge of duty, fidelity to the principles of the party, and an anxious desire to pro mote its interests, with some experience and a moderate degree of ability, can be made serviceable hereafter, the Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION Will not• be lees useful to the party or less welcome to the family circle in the fu ture than it has been in the past. We confidently look for increased encouragement in this great enterprise, and appeal to every influential Democrat in the State to lend us his aid in running our supscription list up to twenty or thirty thousand. The expense to each indi vidual is trilling, the benefit to the party may be great. Believing that the Democracy of the State feel the ne cessity of sustaining a fearless central organ, we make this appeal to them for assistance with the fullest confi dence of success. The same reasons which induce us to raise the price of the Weekly, operate in regard to the Dailypsper, the price of which is also increased. The additional cost to each subscriber will be but trifiing; and, while we can not persuade ourselves that the change necessarily made will result in any diminution of our daily circulation, yet, were we certain that such would be the conse queues, we should still be compelled to make it, or Rut fee a ruinous loss. Under these circumstances we must throw ourselves upon the generosity, or, rather, the justice of the public, and abide their verdict, whatever it may be. The period for which many of our subscribers have paid for their paper being on the eve of expiring, we take the liberty of issuing this notice s reminding them of the same, in order that they may RENEW THEIR CLUBS. We shall also take it as an especial favor if our present subscribers will urge upon their neighbors the fact that the PATRIOT AND UNION is the only Democratic paper printed in Harrisburg, and considering the large amount of reading matter, embracing all the current news of the day, and TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES From everywhere up to the moment the paper goes to press, political, miscellaneous, general and local. news market reports, is decidedly the CHEAPEST NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE STATE! There is scarcely a village or town in the state in which a club cannot be raised if the proper exertion be made, and surely there are few places in which one or more energetic men cannot be found who are in favor of the dissemination of sound Democratic doctrines, who would be willing to make the effort to raiss a club.

Ott Vatriat WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 11. 1863 THE DETROIT RIOT. DESTRUCTION OF THIRTY-FITE HOUSES. *The Detroit Free Press, of the ith, has de tails of the arrest of the negro Faulkner, for raps on a white girl, and the terrible scene which followed. It says : In order to quell the disturbance, and to de liver the prisoner safe to the jailor, the Detroit Provost Guard had been ordered to escort him to the jail. Their arrival in front of the City Hall was greeted with threats of defiance from the crowd, who became more ,excited as the prospect ilf gratifying their blood-thirsty ven geance upon the negro became less favorable. It was not until they had neared the jail that the riot commenced in earnest._ Notwith standing the array of flashing bayonets and the danger of being shot down in the attempt, a large number of the rioters simultaneously rushed for the prisoner, and came very near rescuing him. But he was got into the prison inolosure unharmed, without a single sacrifice. A number of random shots were fired promis cuously Into the crowd, several of them taking effect, add one man, Charles Langer, being instantly killed, shot through the heart. The Provost Guard, after the display, then - hurried back to the barracks, leaving the crowd ," to disperse at their leisure. The cry of death and vengeance ran through the crowdelike an electric shock. The sight of the bleeding corpse of the dead man, and the groans of half a dozen who were wounded, kindled anew the flame of insubordination and frenzy. The Germans, especially, were maddened be yond description, because their countryman had been sacrificed, as they thought and ex pressed it, to protect a negro who was deser ving of torture and death. The excitement among all classes, however, was intense.— Being baffled in their attempt to rescue the criminal, they,sought other channels to give vent to their malice. Toe first house where a negro family resided, one end of which was used as a cooper shop, situated on Beaubien street, was assaulted with bricks, paving stones and clubs. About a dozen negroes were at work in the shop and stopping in the house at the time. The most of them were aimed, and fired several shots into the crowd from the windows, taking effect in several instances, but not fatally injuring any one, so far as could be ascertained. As each shot from the negro hovel reverbe rated through the vicinity the fiendishness of the mob became more manifest and their despe ration more dreadful. The fire-arms in pos session of the negroes deterred them from en tering, for it would have been almost certain death for any man to attempt it. Any missile that could be obtained was hurled at the ren dezvous of the negroes, the windows and doors burst open, and everything destroyed which could be seen by those outside. Finally, Ending that they could not be forced out of their hiding place in any other manner, the match of the incendiary was placed at one ' end of the building, and in a very short time the flames spread so as to envelop almost the entire building. The scene at this time was one that. utterly baffles description. With the building a perfect sheet of livid flame, and outside a crowd.of blood-thirsty ri oters, some of them were standing at the doors with revolvers in their hands, waiting for their victims to appear, it was a truly pitiable and sickening sight. The poor wretches inside were Oiliest frantic with fright, undecided whether to remain and die by means of the devourieg element, or suffer the almost terri ble fate which awaited them at the hands of the merciless crowd. There was no more mercy extended to the suffering creatures than would have been shown to a rattlesnake. No tears could move, no supplications assuage the awful frenzy and de moniacal spirit of revenge which had taken possession of that mass of people. One col ' ored w2111:17:1 made her appearance at the door with a little child in her arms, appealed to the mob for mercy. The monstrous fact must he told, her tearful appeals were met with a shower of bricks, stones and clubs, driving herself and her babe in her urine back into the burning huildiege.

Old men, eiettv years Of n ' ee were not in the least respected, but knocked down with. the same fiendish vindictiveness which characterized all the other proceedings of the day. After the first building heel been reduced to ashes, the appetite for arson had only been whetted, and not at all appeased. As night approached they grew holder, and did not scruple to commit the worst crimes upon the caletelar with perfect impunity. The houses on Lafayette street, between Beauben cud St. Antoine, where literally sacked of their contents, and the furniture piled in the middle of the street and burned. Among the articles . constituting the bonfires, a large number of musical instruments could be discovered—bass viols, violins, banjos, guitars, accordeons, and almost every musical instrument in existence. • Feather beds were ripped open and. the con tents scattered ever the street, and everything valuable totally destroyed. Then e not satisfied with havittg destroyed every vestige of furni ture, the torch was applied to the building, and nearly the whole of the entire block, on both sides of the street, were soon leveled to the ground. The steamers were upon the spot promptly, but would only be permitted to throw water on the houses of white men, to prevent the conflagration from becoming general. The mob threatened that the engines would be torn to pieces if they attempted to play upon any other buildingthan those designated. As there was no room for doubt that these threats would be summarily executed, if necessity compelled that course, it 4vas deemed proper to cater to the wishes of the mob in that re spect. The work of destruction then progressed with fearful rapidity. No sooner was one building burned than another wag set on fire, some of them being several blocks apart. The notorious Paton alley was totally de stroyed, as also were several buildings in that vicinity. It was impossible last night to ascertain the number of buildings destroyed, but it is safe to say they will aggregate not less than forty or fifty. Of the negroes there are all sorts of rumors. It is believed that several were killed, but, as far as known, nothing is positive concerning the matter. Our reporter saw a large number in an insensible condition in the gutters and alleys, but not entirely dead. A large number, however, were very seriously injured, and it is probable that many of them will never re cover. The colored population of the city, fright ened and distracted, hurried from the mob, scattering in every direction, a large number going over the river to Canada, while many actually fled to the wooas with their wives and litle ones. They were perfectly panic stricken, and ran hither and thither with a reeklessness which rendered them totally unfit to take proper care of themselves. Those who did not leave the city huddled themselves to gether- in the kitchens and outhouses of the buildings adjoining the places where the riot ous proceedings were had. About seven o'clock, the flames of the con flagration illuminated the entire city, and ap pearances seemed to indicate that the principal portion of the Third Ward was on fire, and would be totally destroyed. In a short time the mob, which had previously been operating on Beaubien street, moved nearer to the centre of the city, and set on fire a nest of old houses and sheds on Brush street„between Congress and Fort streets. An hour or so previous to this, the author- lities becoming alarmed, and feeling satisfied that no force that could be mustered in Detroit would be sufficiently powerful to quell the riot, or stop the outrages of the rioters, telegraphed to the commander of the Twenty-seventh In fantry, in camp at Ypsilanti, requesting him to forward a battallion of his men by special train, to assist in dispersing the mob. About this time a dispatch was received, stating that the request of the city officials had been complied with, and that five corn , panies were on the way. This news, together with the appearance of several squads of arm ed men in various parts of the city, had no in fluence in overawing the crowd, but rather tended to increase their rage and severity. The fire bells now sounded an alarm for the First ward, and a couple of steam engines started for the place indicated, followed by a large portion of the mob. The alarm was found to have been caused by the burning of a barn in an alley between Fort and Lafayette streets. It was entirely consumed, and the engines, after putting out the embers, return ed as rapidly as possible to the point of their previous labors in the vicinity of the market. Before reaching it, however, the alarm bells .signalled another fire, in the Sixth ward, and the firemen hastened to the spot at once, ar rived in time to find a good sized frame build ing, on the corner of John R street and Miami avenue, in a blaze, and partially consumed. Great alarm and distress prevailed every where, as these fires successively burst forth, and in some localities the citizens armed them selves and turned out to protect their families and property. The last fire of the night destroyed a barn attached to a house on Jefferson avenue, near Dr. Hogarth's Church, but it was speedily quenched by the steamers. • After the last fire had been extinguished the rioters suddenly dispersed, completely worn out and dispirited by their labors.

A remonstrance was presented from the So ciety of Friends in Pennsylvania, setting forth that under the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, which are to " love your enemies—bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you," they cannot engage in the dreadful here sies of war and bloodshed, nor pay any sum for being exempt from what they consider to be sinful. They further declare that the Penn sylvaniall of Rights says that " no human authority can in any case whatever control or interfere with the rights of conscience," and that although it may be true that persons not Friends took the affidavit of conscientious scruples to avoid the draft it is the fundamen tal principle of civil liberty that the innocent shall not be punished in order to reach the guilty.
