We have been compelled to raise the club subscription
price hone dollar and fifty cents In order to save oar
selves from actual lose. Paper has risen, including
taxes, about twenty-five per cent,, and is still rising;
and when we tielL our Democratic friends, candidly, that
we can no longer afford to sell the Weekly PATRIOT AND
talon at one dollar a year. and must add fifty cents or
stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate our
position, and, instead of withdrawing their subscrip
tions, go to work witha 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 anxionsdesire to pro
mote its interests, with some experience and a moderate
degree of ability, can be Made serviceable hereafter, the
Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION win not be less 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 sepscription 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
thii appeal to them for assistance with thelulleet confi
dence of success.
The same reasons which induce ns to rbitit, the prise
of the Weekly, operate in regard to the Dailypaper, the
price of which is elm increased. The additional coat to
each laboalber will baba; UMW& IRA while we Mi
not pinnacle ourselves that the change necemarllymade
will result in any diminution of our daily circulation,
yet, were we certain that such would be the come
queues, we should still be compelled to make it, or of
fer a ruinous loss. Under these circumstances we must
throw ourselves upon the generosity, or, rather, the
Justin 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, 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

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 raise a club.

N. B.—The following law, passed by Congress to IMO,
defines the duty of Postmasters In relation to the de
livery of newepapers to club subecribers :
(Su Little, Browt¢ Co.'s edition of the Lairs of 1860,
r age 92:ehapter 131, section I.)
"Provided, however, that where packages of new pa
pers or periodicals are received at any post aloe directed
to one address, and the names of the club subscribers to
which they belong, with the postage for a quarter in ad
vance, shall be handed to the postmaster, he shall de
liver the same to their respective owners."
To enable the Postmaster to comply with this regula
tion, it will be necessary that be be furnished with the
list of names composing the club, and paid a quarter's
(or year's) postage in advance. The uniform courtesy
of Postmasters, affords the assurance that they will
eheerfullyaesommodats club subscribers, and the latter
should take care that the postage, which is but a trifle
in each case, be paid in advance. Send on the club!

THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 1863.
BEYOND.
We must not doubt, or fear, or dread, that love for
life is only given,
And that the calm and sainted dead will meet es
tranged and cold in heaven
0, love were poor and vain indeed, based on so
harsh and stern a creed. •
True that this earth must pass away, with all the
starry worlds of light,
With all the glory of the day, and calmer tender
ness of night;
For in that radiant home can only shine the im
mortal and divine.
Earth's lower things—her pride, her fame, her
science, learning, wealth and power—
Slow growths that through long ages came, or
fruits of some convulsive hour,
Whose very memory must decay—heaven is too
pure for such as they.
They are complete—their work is done. So let
them sleep in endless rest,
Love's life is only here begun, nor is, nor can be,.
fully blest;
It has no room to spread its wings amid this crowd
of meaner things.
Just for the very shadow thrown upon its sweet
ness here below,
The cross that it must bear alone, and bloody bap
tism of woe;
Crowied and completed through its pain, we know
that it shall rise again.
,So if its flame burn pure and bright, here, where
our air is dark and dense, •
And nothing in this world of night lives with a
living so intense;
When it shall reach its home at length—how bright
its light: how strong its strength I
And while the vain weak loves of earth (for such
base counterfeits abound)
Shall perish with what gave them birth—their
graves are green and fresh around,
No funeral song shall need to rise for the true
Love that never dies.
If in my heart I now could fear that, risen again,
we should not know
What was our Life of Life when here—the hearts
we loved so mush below;
I would arise this very day, and cast so poor a
thing away.
Bat Love is no such Beans clod—living, perfected
it shall rise
Transfigured in the light of God, and giving glory
to the skies;
And that which makes this life so sweet, shall rai
der heaven's joy complete.

regiments for this campaign. Recruits sent
into old regiments will be more fit for field

conscripts that they be assigned to the old

information to their new comrades.
Many friends of the Union are impatient at
the delay in ordering the draft, but it has been
caused in getting ready. Considerable time
must necessarily be monied in preparing

some time lost in selecting a Provost Marshal

nearly perfected, and the appointments of the

mustered into service, uniformed, rationed and
assigned to their regiments, after a few days'
preliminary instruction. The regulation's for
the government of the draft are already
printed.
Each State will be credited with the time
for which her troops have enlisted. One three
years' man in Illinois will reckon as reach as
four nine months' men from Pennsylvania. If
a draft for 300,000 men be ordered, not to ex
ceed six or seven thousand will be required of
Illinois—perhaps not so many—while Penn
sylvania and New York will each have to raise
from forty to fifty thousand.
The most difficult thing to determine in re
lation to the whole matter, is the proper con
struction of the 13th section of the conscrip
tion act. If it be construed to menu that the
government must receive $3OO in commutation
of service from a conscript, then the purpose
and intentions of the law is in a great degree
nullified and defeated. Suppose every con
script offers $3OO, the government will not get
a man, if that construction prevails. If the
13th section be construed as obligatory on the
government to receive money far personal ser
vice, the act, it is felt, will be a failure, and
the government will be left without the ability
to procure men to fill up the ranks of the was
ted regiments. The few men that maybe got
that are unable to raise $3OO will consist in
those having the least interest in the perpetu
ity of the Union, and consequently will make
the worst soldiers.
The Secretary of War holds that the sot
leaves it as optional with him to receive money
commutation as it is for the eonscript to oiler
it. The 13th section says that " any person
drafted may pay $300 , ," "to such person as
the secretary may authorise to receive it,"
" for the procuration• of such substitute." It
is obviously the intention of the section that
the $3OO, if receive& is to be paid to some
person who offers himself as a substitute. The
law makes no ether provision for the use of
the money. The Secretary of War is not a
Federal treasurer. He gives no bonds—he is
not a financial officer. The assistant provost
marshals are not Federal treasurers, under
bond. They have no use for the commutation
money, unless it be to pay it over directly to
persons who have volunteered as substitutes
What the 'whole act calls for is men, notreve
nue. It in net a bill to raise money to sup
port the government, but to procure able-bodied
men to fight public enemies. Any other con
struction nullifies the law. The thirteenth sec
tion should.therefore be construed in harmony
with the purpose and object of the not, and not
technleally in a way to render it abortive, to
sake away Oat P47,%1 li Sti°ll9l seir-def`.l3e,.
PRICE TWO CENTS
which is simply suicide. he 'Secretary of War
holds that he is not bound to receive any con
script's money unless there is a " substitute"
standing ready to take the money and serve in
his place. This is the common sense view of
the act. Another question is raised in this
connection: Is it constitutional, after drafting
a body of men, to let off three-fourths of them
upon the pa 3 meat of a few dollars, and to force
the remaining fourth into the camp and battle
field ? It is certainly not in accordance with
the principles of republican government.
There are two methods proposed that will
save the act from proving abortive. The first
is for the Secretary of war to appoint no
agents to receive the $BOO, as it is clearly op
tional with him. The act says he "may ap
point a person" to receive the money. Suppose
he concludes he won't, what then ? Why the
conscript must find his own substitute or go
himself. This is the short, blunt, Jacksonian
mode of solving the difficulty, and the course
that ought to be pursued. The other way is
one which complies with the letter of the law
and yet procures the full number of men called
for by the draft. It is as follows: Ist. Order
a draft for a given number of men. 2d. Call
for an equal number of volunteers to act as
substitutes. 3d. Offer each a bounty of $4OO,
($lOO paid by the government as provided in
section 17, and $3OO by the conscript.) 4th.
Let each conscript who wishes to commute de
posite his money in bank, and enter his name
in a memorandum or pass-book, in the office
of the enrolling officer, for the inspection of
volunteers who have tendered their services
as "substitutes." 6th. Let each volunteer
designate from the list for whom he will serve,
receive the conscript's money, and take his
musket. 6th. Let each conscript and substi
tute name his first, second, third and fourth
choice of regiments in which he desires to
serve. If more men apply for admission into
a regiment than can be received, draw lots for
the choice of choice. But each man to be-re
stricted to regiments of his own State. By
this course each recruit will be placed among
his own friends and neigbors. 7th. Let the
volunteering commence before the draft is
made, as it will cause many to volunteer to
serve as substitutes in order to escape being
drafted, as in that case they would only get
the $lOO paid by the government, and but $25 1
of that cash down. Bth. He who is conscripted
for whom none offers to serve as his substi
tute, must go himself, or find his own substi
tute.
The final construction of the thirteenth sec•
tion of the conscription act must come from the
President, and it is not known how he will
decide it, but it is believed that he will take
the ground that the law calls for men, not
money, that it is a military and not a revenue
measure, and that a man to carry a musket
must be produced for every name that is drawn
from the box.
DESPOT= AT IVASHENTON.
From the London Times
The old curse of America is once more upon
her ; the evil spirit has returned with seven
other spirits to his old haunt. Mr. Lincoln
has held the Presidency of the United States
for two miserable and disastrous years. It is
unnecessary to dilate upon the results of hie
administration. It has destroyed a vast mass
of crosnerit'y , and happiness, and flattered to
ple. Of how many States may it be said - iiith
truth that Mr. Lincoln has found them a gar
den, and left them a desert; of how many
flourishing institutions that he found them a
reality, and has made them but - a name ; of how
many families that he found them united and
prosperous, while they are now decimated by
war and divided by faction! The exchequer
of America was full, and is empty ; her credit
was high, and is all but extinct ; and the evil
of to-day is regarded by those who can foresee.
and calculate the future as altogether light and
endurable, as compared with the disasters that
are looked far from to-morrow. In little more
than eighteen months from this time the people
of the North, or whatever portion of the Uni.
ted States may still be under the Federal Gov
ernment, will be called upon to elect another
President. It is a long while to look forward
to, especially in the present state of things, but
the stake to be played for is vast, and no means
of securing it must be neglected. The Re
publican majority in Congress have 'before
separating done everything in their power to
secure to their awn party another quadrennial
period of office. These reckless men deserve
a foremost place among those representatives
of the people who from time to time have made
themselvesnotorious in the history of the world
by surrendering their country into the hands
of a dictator or tyrant. There is hardly a right
secured by the Constitution to States or to in
dividuals which the late Congress of the Uni
ted States has not invaded, a principle of free
dom which they have not overthrown, a fran
chise
which they have not trampled under. foot.

the federation, is hardly recognizable beneath.

Yet it is feared that all this power and all
this violence may be unable to perpetuate itself,.

that we, who have never expected much from
Mr. Lincoln, confess that we stand•aghast at his
recklessness and hardihood. The last resource
of Mr. Lincoln has been to•lurn the mess-room
of every regiment into a debating society, and its
soldiers into miniature constituencies. The pa
pers from America are full of addresses agreed
to by meetings of regiments presided over by
- their colonel, with a captain and chaplain for
secretaries. The.regiments from Pennsylva
nia, New Jersey and Connecticut, have taken
the lead in these political manifestations.—
Their addresses have a suspicious likeness to
each other. They are all manifestations of
violent Republican opinion. They assert views
favorable to the continuance of the war, and
denounce, not. as mistaken friends, but as ene

themselves, those among their fellow citizens
who have, presumed to think or talk of peace.
These military logicians will tolerate no differ

OPERATIONS AGAINST CHARLESTON.—..The ac
counts of a skirmish on Morris Island suffice
to indicate that our forces have crossed Light
house Inlet and acquired ae footing on the
island. The creek referred to is one of the
numerous streams running parallel with the
seabeach, but at some distance fromit, so that
our operations are advancing steadily against
the rebel works. If we understand the present
news aright, it would ehow that, after imitating
our formidable works on the end of Folly
Island, we are advancing hr another•direotion'

FEDSRAL TROOPS WITHIN FIFTEEN MILES OP
Riciamortn.—A correspondent of the New Bed
ford Standard, writing on board the United
States steamer Morse, Matteponjt river, off
Key West, Va., May 18, says :
" Another important exhibition came off
night before last. A few days• ago , we suc
ceeded in a reconnoitre up the Mattopony as
far as khe village of Alleyt. some twenty-eight
miles into the interior, and by land only fifteen
miles from Richmond. We met with obstruc
tions in only one place, about ten miles from
the mouth of the river, which were easily for
ced.
' " The whole country in this section seems to
be desolated, fine plantations on each aide of
the river untilled, with the mansionny ins they
truly were, unoccupied. We landed at several
points, and in no one case did we meet with a .
human being. There is a ferry a few miles
below Alleys, where Stoneman recrossed in the
retreat from near Richmond in his celebrated
cavalry raid. - I understand that Colonel

another tramp into the interior, which I. hope
will be crowned with the same success as the
