We Dave been compelled to raise the club subscription
price to one dollar and fifty cents in order to save our
selves from actual loss. Paper has risen, including
taxes, about twenty-five per cent., and is still rising ;
and when we tell our Democratic friends, candidly, that
we can no longer afford to sell the Weekly PATRier AND
UNION at Vine dollar a year. and must add fifty cents or
atop 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
d i me leggeste in producing the glorious revolution in
the polities of the State achieved at the late siltation i
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 lime experience and a moderate
degree of ability, eau be made serviceable hereafter, the
Weekly PATRIOT AMP 1,131/QN wiu not be less useful to
the party or less welcome to the tinily circle in the fii
titre 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 subscription list up to
twenty or thirty thousand. The expense to each indi
vidual is trifling, the benefit to the party may be great.
Ba gr i ng th a t th 4 Doitasoss7 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 Daily paper, the
price of which M also increased. The additional cost to
each subscriber will be but trifling; 'mid i , 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 come.
gnaw*, we should still be compelled to make it, or suf
fer a ruinous lode, Under these eireusultiumes 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, reminding them
of the earns, in order that they may
RENEW THEIR OLVIIB.
We shall also take it as an especial favor If our present
subscribers will urge upon their neighbors the fact that
the PATZIOT AND MOON is the only Democratic paper
printed in Harrisburg, and considering the large amount
of reading manta!?, embracing all the current news of
the day, and

There ie 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 dootrines, who
would be willing to make the effort to raise a club.

HOW ARE YOU, TELEGRAPH?
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
[Horgan'a raid would have been a sueoess—that
is to say, be would have given us a good soar%
relieved us of divers horses, and made good his
exit out of the State, to retail over camp fires his
wonderful ride through "the United States"—if it
had not been for the telegraph. The lightning
dogged his ettyci it out tart his jaded steeds; it put
swift riders on his trail, gunboats up the river, and
armed men in his frost; it encompassed him with
the yeomanry of Ohio, and stripped him of men,
Cannon and steeds. Let us salute the telegraph.]
John Morgan paid as a visit, you know ;
All hosted and spurred was 11..6,
With a jolly good gang, four thousand or so,
And cannon numbering three.
He made it his boast, he could gallop straight
through,
(What a roystering blade was he !)
Buckeyes and Boosters, with all of his crew,
'Till he heard the bugles of Lee.
How are you, Telegraph
John came in excellent style, to ha sure ;
With banner and brand came he;
His clattering hoofs made a terrible roar,
And his cannon numbering three.
The Hoosiers were soared, so entered the rue—
What a rowdyish set were they !
And the Buckeyes mounted to join in the chase
As Johnny galloped their way.
How are you, Telegraph !
111.
John rode till the seat of his breeches was worn;
What a erasy rider was he,
With his j• - illy gay flags, so dusty and torn,
And his cannon numbering three.
All jaded for sleep, and weak in the back,
His troopers vote it a bore '
•
But the Buckeyes relish the fun on the track—
What a marry go round to be sure.
How are you, Telegraph !
Iv.
John ordered his scouts to the river to scan ;
What a chop fallen fellow was he;
But when he returned, he sighed for his men
And cannon numbering three.
A pleasant old gunboat, mousing below,
Was waiting. , for toll that day,
John Morgan concluded his scrip wouldn't go,
Bo Johnny must gallop away.
How are you. Telegraph !
John rode to the left. John rode to the right ;
What a wool-gathered Morgan Wall be; '
Don Quixote bad never so ugly a plight,
With cannon numbering three.
Bedeviled, begirt on hill and on plain,
The foe on his front and his rear,
With the most of his troopers captured or slain—
Why, John, what a wonderful scare!
How are you, Telegraph
VI.
Then Sbackleford came with sabre and gun;
What a surly old fellow was be;
And he gobbled them up as a boy would a bun,
They and their mignon three,
He gobbled them up in all of their pride,
John Morgan, where is the fuo ?
And he taught them a lesson in taking a ride,
To go w here the wires don't run.
How are you, Telegraph !

LETTER FROM THE ARAZY.
NEAR MANASSAS JUNCTION, July 28
EDITORS PATRIOT AND UNION:—We have
changed slightly since my last letter was writ
ten. We were detached from our brigade on
the night of tne 26 , h. and sent to guard the
Warrenton and Alexandria railroad, between
Bristow station, at Broad Run bridge, and Ma
nassas Junction. We arrived there on the
morning of the 26th. Two `companies were
sent out amongst the hushwbaokeis to do picket
duty—and we did get amongst them in reality.
At about 8 a. m., some fifteen bushwhackers
moved on two of our pickets, and had them
surrounded, forming a circle of not mere than
ten yards in diameter. Four of them advanced
cautiously, trying to spy out the exact position
of the picket, when Private Lewis W. Powell
fired at the one in advance and killed him ;
his comrade also fired, but did not know with
what effect. They then made their way through
the circle to the place where the balanCe of the
company were quartered, closely pureued by
the rebels. We laid ourselves down quietly in
our position, which gave them no chance of
picking us off, unless they would rush upon
us. This they knew would be giving us the
advantage, There Wilt no lose on our side.
They all retreated before the break of day, so
we had no chattel:, of capturing them. Our
company are now guarding the bridge across
Canon's Run, assisted by Co. K. The chiet
pt'oduce of the land here now is blackberries,
which we relish very well. We are in Prince
William county, about six miles from Brenta
ville, the county seat. Yesterday we received
our mails—the first time since the 10th of this
menth—and also received eight numbers of
your paper, which created a general rush for
my tent to have a glance at the old PATRIOT
All were anxious to have a chance to read
them. I saw in your paper that three r. gi
meets of the drafted men had arrived at Camp
Curtin. We are very much at a lose to know
why they held any of us over the 16. h of this
month, and more so to know why our regiment
cannot return when the rest do. Our regiment
was WA the last formed, as all can see by its
number.
I stated to you in my last letter that we bad
received an ffficial notice stating that this reg.
iment's time would rot expire until the 15th
of August. How is this? Will some one be
kind enough to explain ? I tell you it is hard
for men to "grin and bear," as they commonly
say—but so a soldier has to do ; right or wrong,
you must obey. With the hope that their time
will expire sometime, obedient all should he
until they are discharged. The weather is
very warm. All letters direo'ed to this regi
ment should be addrt seed to Manassas Junc
tion, Orange and Alexandria railroad, 173 d
regito-nt P. V. •This is the most. direct route
to Fend letters at this time, for I suppose we
will remain la &is vicinity the rest of our time
of service. There are no sutlers here, and it
is impossible to buy anything ; they do not
like to get in close proximity with old Mosby
PRICE TWu CENTS.
—but the soldiers have not much money left
to buy if the stores were plenty, as we have
not been paid since the 28th of February.
Yours &c., S. K. J.
CLIPPINGS FRO* EXCHANGES
Gov. Kirkwood, (Abolition.) of lowa, re
cently addressed a meeting in lowa City, in
whit& he thus invited mob outrage;
"Fellow citizens, you have traitors among
you who ought to be looked after. If a man
insults your wife you would knock him down.
If he insults your sister or daughter, you
would knock him down. Will you have less
regard for the flag of your country than for
your kindred? Remember that I am Governor
of eighteen months to come, can remit fines
and can exercise the pardoning power."
THE DRAFT AND INCENDIARISE.—The Cam
bridge (Md.) Herald says :
Three stacks of rye belonging to Martin L.
Esq in the Drawbridge district, were
set on fire on Tuesday night and consumed.
The party who committed the offence is un
known. Mr. Wall is the enrolling officer for
that district. We also learn that Mr. John
Langrell's storehouse was set on fire last week,
also a lot of cord wood—both werd extinguish
ed without much damage. Mr. Langrell is
the enrolling crffioti" for straits district_ No
doubt the citizens of the respective districts
will be taxed to indemnify the losses of the en
rolling officers.
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF MISSOURL—The
Auditor of the Stare of Missouri gives the
debt of that State at $38,158,000, beside $15, -
000,000 issued by the Legislature for war pur
poses, which Governor Gamble proposes to es
change for $10,000,000 new bonds; a debt of
$50,000,000 for Missouri in addition to its
proportion $20,000.000 Federal debt, and the
tribute to New England it must pay under the
high tariff on manufactures, is a burden WinCh
will test that devastated State to the utmost.
The whole makes a debt of $150,000,000. or
$l5O per head of the population, besides $20,-
000,000 tribute to New England under the
present tariff.
DRAFT NOT NECESSARY.—The fact that a vast
number of the new men sent to camp from va
rious localities are substitutes, shows that we
were right in saying enough men could be ob
tained under the volunteering system, with
proper bounties. The only difference now is,
that individuals, and not the Government, pay
the bounties.
G. GRANT.—General Grant is a man of
great military resource. His latest contrivance
is the organization of a Water Department in
his army, by which his forces will be able to
traverse any portion of the Mississippi, how
ever destitute of water.
TaxaTiow.—The Albany ArguB says :
The Tsx Payers will remembrr that
Their bread is taxed by Republicans !
Their tea le taxed by Repunticans !
Their sugar is taxed by Republicans !
Their rusiness is taxed by Republicans !
- Ttretr - clathing is - taxed by Itrpitblicans !
In short; that everything they eat, drink or
wear is taxed by a reckless Administration,
pot to supply the real neseeeity of the country,
but to fee and enrich an briny of greedy parti
sans, and Co pave witL• "greenbacks" the road
to the next Presidency.
EP ITAPH. —At one of the stations on the Ac
quia road where the subsistence was received
and delivered to the army of the Potomac, a
very faithful man was fatally injured and died
sharily after. The Commissioner wrote the
following epitaph, which marks the spot where
he is burried:
Here lies the body of Michitel Farrell
Who lost his life in ro•hog a barrel ;
Life is sweet, but he gave up his existence
In farisistung the army with a ant subsistence.
A MOTHER'S Love.—ln Boston, on Wednes
day, a child two years old fell into a vault, go
ing in so far that nothing but her feet could be
seen above the surface. The child's mother, in
order to save her from suffocation jumped in
after her, descending into the contents of trte
vault to the depth of several feet, so that noth
ing but her bead remained above the filthy
mass. She succeeded in saving the child and
in banding her out. but could sot extricate her
self until a teamster, who was passing by, came
to her assistance. Taking the reins from his
horses, he let them down into the vault and
the woman placed thew under her arms, when
she was hauled out completely exhausted.
DEATH OF AN OLD PIONZEN.--JOSSOb Cato eau,
of Detroit, died in Detroit on the 23.1 ins-tan',
aged 94 He was born in that city in 1769,
when it was a mere Indian military post. At
eighteen be commenced business as a fur trader
and general merchant. Hie earlier voyages
were made to Montreal in a bark canoe, with
his furs. His profits were invested in land,
mostly upon the pre-ent site of Detroit. The
result was great wealth, which he carefully
husbanded. He has lived under the flags of
Ibree nations—Franey, England (t wive) and the
United SI eten,etid with him has depth - tea nearly
the last of the French citizens of Detroit.
THE DRAFTED MAN.—At the present rate of
progreess the Board of Enrollment will not be
through their business for three months. In
the Fourth diFtriet, where the B lard sits from
8 o'clock, a m, until 5 o'clock. p m., there
can only be from 40 to 50 men ixatnined; ayd
the 14th ward, which was the first one drawn
in the city, is not yet disposed ! The ma
chinery being new, it is of course cumbersome.
Titus and experience may facilitate the officers
in the performance of their duties, but it Will
he impossible to comply with the ten days'
clause. Already the officers have discovered
:his, and in many cases the notices give fifteen
and twenty days within which to appear, and
it is believed that the time will have to be still
further extended. No drafted m. n have been
forwarded yet from Puiladelphia. Os Friday,
150 substitutes were sent to the Army of the
Potomac from the barracks, Twenty-second
and Wood streets. They were under a strong
guard. D.-tails from all the Philad.lphia regi
mate are now in the city wi b ,r. qu i,itione to
fill up their respective regiments with drafted
men. They will have to wait a long time,
inasmuch as the exemption will more thttn
cover the 60 per cent. drawn in excess of the
quota, and conitequently there will he another
draft from the first class to make up the defi
ciency. It looks now as if the winter would
he far advance before the draft is concluded.—

NOBLE DEED OF A CATHOLIC PRIEST RE
WARDED.—During the recent riots in New York,
the Rev. Matthew Nicol, a Roman Cath o li c
priest in that city, by his heroic efforts saved
from destruction at the hands of the mob an
entire block of buildings on Third avenue, be
tween 45th and 46th streets. The occupants
of the dwellings thus preserved Met on Monday
last, and presented Father Nicot with a hand
some cane, a beautiful' writing desk and cabi
net, and a luxarians eagy chair ; the presenta
tion address on the occasion having been made
by the Rev. Henry Bromic., a Baptist minister,
Who Occupies one of the houses saved from the
violence of the mob.
WOMEN AS lIARVESTEUS.—SeveraI German
girls have gone to service in 'he harvest fields of
northern Illinois, where they receive one dol
lar per day wages. The Galena Advertiser pays
that German girls are not the only, Rues who
engage in this employment. Last year, in many
dioricia aroupti ihat pity, where the men
unteering for the war left a scarcity of outdoor
assistance on the farms, women of energy
turned out and assisted in gathering the crops.
In many instances, in peculiar cases, the wo
men of a settlement would go in a body and
harvest large fields of corn for some poor sol
dier's lone wife in a single day.
TBE NEXT STEP
The progress of the government in breaking
the military power of the rebellion has been
very great during a few weeks pest. The cap
ture of Vicksburg and Port Hudson opens the
.Mississippi river and cuts off from co-operation
with the confederacy the territory west of it.
The defeat of Lee hes broken the prestige of
his rmy and hurled it back to a defensive atti
tude in Virginia. Bragg retires before victo
rious Rosecrans, and Tennessee with its large,
loyal and suffering population is liberated. The
capture of Charleston, which we arc uottfultint
will be accomplished tiy Gilmore, will not only
shut up the most important rebel port, but ens
ole our army to sever and hold the railroad line
of the Atlantic coast. With Grant's, Rosecrans'
and Aleade's armies, we shall be able to press
the rebellion on every side, and constantly con
tract its area. The prestige of Davis and his go
vernment can hardly tail to be broken, and the
probable. if not certain collapse of the seces
sion movement must be a growing conviction
in the minds of the people of the South. The
fate which a waits their cause and ail their ma.
terial interests must speedily become with them
a au' ject of anxious deliberation. What door
of hope is open to them ? How can they re
tura to their former position of citizens of the
United States ? How can their respective
Static resume their places as stars in the Union
Constellation ? Thoughts like these arevlikely
to press upon the attention of the Southern
people at this time.
H ,w should the administration at Washing
ton meet these circumstances and this state of
feeling? Should all yearnings on the part of
the rebels for a return to the Union be spurned ?
Snould those inclined to bring back their States
be encouraged, by cordial sentiments and mea
sures on the part of the government, and thus
enabled to build up a Union party in their res
pective localities, and win over to loyalty the
popular heart ? Or ehould they only have held
out to them the fate of a conquered peopl4or
of arrested criminals. exposed to the terrors of
coofi-cation of property and the personal in
flictions of the penalty of treason ?
These are grave questions of policy, which,
we assume, are at this moment receiving the
earnest attention of the President and his
Cabinet. Passion and partisanship, lust of
power and plun ter, or blind fanaticism, may
dictate absolute military subjugation—crush
ing the people and the interests of the rebel
States under the heel of the conqueror—and
running the ploughehare of destruction over the
ruined fortunes of a misguided populace. But
enlightened statesmanship, drawingits maxims
of policy from the past history of the human
race, prompts a more generous course—a proc
lamation of amnesty at precisely this crisis in
the fortunes of the rebellion—a cordial invi
tation to return to the Union protected in the
future in all the rights Bemired by the Coned
tution—a policy, in a word, which will win
back the affections of the Southern people and
make them and their communities loyal citizens
and faithful States of the Union, instead of
hostile inhabitants of a conquered territory.
Such, we repeat, are the promptings en
lightened statesmanship. Is the President
equal to the duties of this emeraency ? Or will
he listen to the evil counsel of those who insist
upon shutting the door of reconei iation in the
face of the South until her several States abol
ish slavery?
Let. 1.111 illustrate. North Carolina may
speedily, through her regular State goirern
ment, propose to simply tall back into the
Union as a State and resume her place and dis
charge her duties precisely as before the in
surrection. Shall she be permitted thus to re
turn ?
The Stunners and the Wilsons, the Tribune
and the radio a prate, and the Wbel4 &bolition
wink or the Republican party answer no !
They say she shall not return, uultlis she will
first alter her Constitution so as to abolish sla
very, and they propose to continue the war un
til they can compel her to do this It is not
enough that she proposes to lay down her
arms, to submit to the Constitution and the
laws, but she must allow the federal govern
ment to shape her domestic institutions in a
matter over which the Constitution gives it no
control.
What will be the course of the President on
this subject? It is a question which cannot
be dodged or postponed. It is presently to be
the great question of the day. The breaking
of the military power of the rehellioii will force
it upon the administration The President
must. d-cide it. Will he decide to continue the
war WO to velvet North Carolina (or any
oth.r 3 •uthern Stste) to abolish gavery 7
The radicals demand this at his hands The
conservative R.-publicans will (with the De no
crate) oppose this: The Republican party will
split in the mid.tle on this que4tron. But a
vast majority of the people of this country—
when it comes to that simple qaestion, cs it
shortly will—will demand and will have an end
of the w.r. whetter's: 4 the rebel States consent to
resume their position as States of the Union, un
