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.
DEMOCRATS OF THE INTERIOR!
Let us hear from you. The 'existing war, and the ap.
proacliing sessions of Congress and the State Legisla
ture, are invested with unusual interest, and every man
should have the news.

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.
At this juncture, one man, moved to mercy
at this cowardly and inhuman act, rushed to
bee as:!ietence, braysly and nobly protecting
her from the violence whielilltreateeed her.—
But the tetneroee found no such protection.—
r ilitty were dtivcn gradually to the windows
and doors, where they were MUTLICTOiIs!y
witla every species of weapons, i welt:ding
mica, epodes, and clubs, and everphing which
could he used as a mea.is of al tae!n
The frightened creatures were almost as in
.salle with fright as their perseoutors were with
thatinm. 1 thtly came out they wue beaten

The scenes which fellowed were ea similar
nature.. 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. The memorial disavows any inclina
tion to sympathize with the wicked rebellion,
and concludes with a statement that the soci
ety will feel it to be a duty to bear meekly such
legal process or distraints as may be inflicted
in case the Legislature does not heed its memo
rial.
