SUBSCRIBED FOR IN CLUBS OP NOT LESS
THAN TEN COPIES TO ONE ADDRESS!
We have been compelled to raise the club subscription
price to one dollar and fifty cents in order to save our
selves from actual less. Paper has risen, including
taxer, about .twenty-five per cent.; sad is still rising;
and when we tell our Democratic Men* candidly, that
we can no longer afford to sell the Weekly Persica AND
UNION at one dollar a year, and must add fifty cents or
stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate oar
position, and, instead of ,withdrawing their eubscrip
'llona, go to work with a will to increase our list in every
county in the fitate. 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 azurionsdesire to pro
mote its interests, with some experience and &moderate
d e gree of ability, can be made serviceable hereafter, the
Weekly Parnfor mue Union will not be less useful to.
the party or less welcome to the family circle in the fu
turi 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 sapscription list up to
twenty or thirty thousand. The expense to each indi
vidual is trifling, 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 con&
deuce of success.
The same reasons which induise us to . raiiis the /prise
of the Weekly, operate in regard to the Daflypaper, the
price of which is also Increased. Theadditional .netts
each subscriber will be but trifling; and, while we can
not persuade ourselves that the abange necessarilymade
will result in any diminution of, our daily circulation,.
yet, were we certain . that such would be the cons.
queues, we should still be compelled to make it, or' sut
fer a ruinous loss. ' 'Under these circumstances we must
throw ourselves upon the 'generosity, or,' rather, the•
justice of the public, arid abide their verdict, whitever
it may be.
The period for which many of our imbeeribere have .
paid for their, paper being on the ere of, expiring, we
take the liberty of huming Wit notice, reminding them
of the mine, in order that they may
RENEW THEIR CLUB'S.
We shall also take It as an especial favor if our present
subscribers will urge upon their neighbor/4h, fact that
the PATRIOT AND UNION is the only pemseratio paper
printed in Harrisburg, and considerinthe large amount
of reading matter, embracing all the current news of

N. B.—The following law, passed ; by Congress In 1860,
defines the duty of Postmasters in relation to the de
livery of newspapers to club subscribers

which they belong, with the palliest. fee a quarter In ad.

liver the same to their respective owners."
To enable the Postmaster to comply with this reggae-

list of Mum composing the club,. and paid a qnsrter%

And bloody Treason aouriabed over ua."
Ever singe the commencement of the civil
war, it has been evident that treason occupied
high positions under the administration—nay,
the very household of the head of the adMin-
Istration hail been stiepected ; and Senators of
radjeal Abolition proclivities, and military of
ficers, froth the rank of Generals down, go
veransent contractors, surgeons and sutlers and
elerks in the departments, have each, in turn,
at various times, been charged with treasons..
ble correspondence With the rebels, through
which plans and movements of the army and
navy of the greatest importance were commu
nicated to the enemy. We have many times
been startled by Surmises and dark insinua
tions, implicating by innuendo poisons of
afid-
Unction in civil and military life—but .newer
have we been so positively abashed as by the
latest revelation, contained in the columns of
the New York* Tribune, and the fall, absolute
confirmation of it by the Philadelphia Sunday '!
Transaripe. We give the revelation and con
firmation as they appear in the Tribune and the
Transcript, without knowing precisely what Ise

Gone. NINTT AND M'CLuLLAN.—A, Philadel
phia correspondent furnishes the following. ex
' planation of General M'Clellan'e failures 4 to.
report to General Scott when the latter was
active superior, and of the silence of General
, Scott in view of the recent publiettion of his.
official letter of complaint against Gen. MTh&
lan. We do not know that this explanation, is
correct, and we publish it Only to elicit far
ther elucidations, which the matter eminently
requires. Gan it be true that our gel/amazon.
allowed a detected traitor—one who had be
trayed a position of the very,.highest trust—
to be placed on the retired list, and to go. to
Europe on pay as still an officer ed our army I*.
If it did, who can wonder that, treason is rife
in our !service, and that gunboats did ships of
•war are betrayed into the hinds of our enemies?'
We give the following from our correspondent
lo tat Naito, of MIN. Y. Tribune :
Sin: Many persons are disappointed in
; learning that Gen. Scott will net publish am
eaplahation of his complaints against General
*Mellen be the Secretary If War, which was,
by the call of Mr. Stevens of Pa., on the Sec
retary of War, published and readin the House
of Itepresentativen.• ,Many ask why was the
letter called for. There was discussiois on the
settee, and they ask what it was intended to
show by it. Thereby hangs a tale. General
Scott's position is a very delicate one ;. some
people do suspect the General's Union senti
ments to lean toward the "wayward• sisters;"
but no matter about that: Gem Scott writes
to thetecreprY of War,complaining of MoCiel,
lan's indifference or fiegleet of him for not re
porting his,plans or consulting him about the
disposition of his forces. This occurred some
time after it had been disoovered by General
McClellan that Gen. Scott's office was not the
safest place for him to expose his plans or
make known what bewail doing. It is known
that Gen. -McClellan's planshad been. several
times in a very mysterious way made known
to the rebels almost 'as quickly as they were'
made known to our commanders in the field.—
Gen. McClellan found out the individual; it
was General Scott's son-in-law, Henry L. Scott,
who was with General Scott,in Washington, as
an Inspector-General with the rank, pay, km.,
of a Colonel of Cavalry. General McClellan
went to the President about the extraordinary
denouement, and Colonel Scott and Adjt. Gen.
Themes, who was also suspected of treachery,
were summoned to the White House to be mps
fronted on the charge. Colonel Scott confes
sed his guilt !• What was done ? Why, Col.
Scott, instead of being shot for his treason,
was allowed to be placed on the retired list for
life, and to repeive the pay and emoluments of
a Lieutenant-Colonel of Cavalry t He imme
diately went to Europe, where he is doing all

Upon this the Transcript temarks:
The enemies of General M'Clellan made a
great fuss over the production of Gen. Scott's
letter to the War Department, complaining of
the failure of the former to report to the late
Commander-in-Chief his plans and movements.
The New York Tribune, on Thursday, however,
explains the mystery through a correspondent.
[Here follows the "Smith" communication.]
This appears (continues the Transcript) to
have stunned even Greeley, who asks--" Can
it be true that our Government allowed a de
tected traitor—one who had betrayed a posi
tion of the very highest trust—to be placed on
the retired list, and to go to Europe on pay as
still an officer of our army? If it did," con
` tinues Greeley in Me comments, "who can
wonder that treason is rife in our service, and
that gunboats and ships-of-war are betrayed
into the hands of our enemies ?"
The Tribune can rest easy. AU this is true,
and there is not: a man 'of the administration,
from the President down to Stanton, who does
not know that after the first failure to capture
Munson's Hill (where the enemy were in supe
rior force ready to meet WI when Gen. M'Clel
lan advanced) Colonel Scott was known to have
given the information of the intended advance
to the rebels—that General Scott resigned for
. this reason immediately afterwards, and that
General Scott accompanied his nephew and
son-in-law to Europe to cover up his awful
crime.
It is a sad thing to tell truths so terrible in
all their details, bat the hour has come when
silence is criminal. Gelter.ai M'Clellan has
been branded as a traitor—he has been de
nounced as a "bastard"—the grave of his re
vered father and the reputation of his well
• beloved mother have been beslimed by foul
and unmanly slanders, and now the truth meat
out. Though his heart has been made to bleed
by these gross and malignant assaults on the
living and the dead, Gen. M'Clellan has re
frained from offering one word in his own de
fense or in defense of those who are enshrined
in his great and noble heart. Time has ever
made him even with hie enemies, and ere long
his complete vindication will come as assu
redly as God's eternal justice.

This is a terrible picture of dePiavity—'
pictire drawn, too, by the politicalirtends df
an administration who demand of DemonUts
"unquestioning support" and "unoonditional
loyalty" to it. Can this be yielded while the
taint of treason, or complicity with treason,
_
rests upon the President, his household, and
his confidential officers ? We think not ! We
close with the following remarks from the Al
bany Argus :
We do not like to bear the 'barges of treason
lightly made against American citizens. When
we look bark at the list of then aoonsed, we.
are honified at the extent of -tye it fa tai,
if the charges are at all true. Mr. =Bumper's
Bosun organ the Conesonweaith, charges dis
tinct acts of complicity with the Southern
traitor's upon Secretary Seward. • GurowskiTs
Diary, Wilkes' Spirit, and many of the radical
press, unite in the same charge. They point
to the dispatch which hesent through Harvey,
(afterwards rewarded with the Portugese
eon) to the Charleston insurgents, and which
was the signal of attack upon POrt Sumpter.—
General lifillowell was charged with a trea
sonable betrayal of his , command, and thin
charge wattreitmeted wits his dying breath, by
one of our colonels, fallen in battle.
General Stone was chard with secret cor
respondents) with the enemy, and hurried off
tp a military fortress and confined for months.
Adjutant General Thomas, Commissary Gene
ral Meige, aid others in the bureaux at Wash
ington, have continually, been railed against as
in secret sympathy with the lbw Gen. Harney
wee refused a command owing to an interested
clamor of this kind against him. M'Clellan
and Buell were accused of coldness in the
cause, and Fite Jbhzi Porter of even worse;
and Sumner and Franklin have been retired
upon indefinite grounds.
• The accusation of betraying our military
secrets to the enemy has embraced the Presi
dent himself ; and his wife has freqaently been
pointed out by scandal mongering reporters as
the source of secret information to the rebels.
Other ladies of the Presidential oirole have
been accused of Shutt espionage for the benefit
of the enemy. Therli. Y. Tribune. in a recent
letter, distinctly &ceases Col Scott (eon -in-law
of lieut. Gen. Scott) of betraying the move
ments of the army to the Confederate Generals,
and its accusation, if true, dishonors the old
General and the President in hardly a lees de-,
groe. •
We are not ready to believe these accusations
of treachery. There has never been an in
vestigation into any of , those charges, except
that which fpen. McDowell, invited,. in his own
case ; and in that instance they were all die
proved. The accusations have come froin\.a
101 - class of men in Washington who have
united the business of correspondents' of the
press with that of lobbiers for contracts and
,jobs. There was nothing so revolting to their
base natures in the elect of spies and traitors, ,
as to make the imputation at all ineredible as
to others.
We shall regard this imputation upon the
President and Lieet. Gen. Scott, aaddeoretary
Cameron, (who ia suspected of being the Tri
bune.: revealing witness,) as well as upon Col.
Scott—unless proved—us but one of many
gratuitous dishenors upon the country, on the
part of the radical press.
