Tn all cases, where the porirms to whom these accounts are'sent, fail to respond in a satisfactory manner, before the 15th of May, their names will be stricken.of our lists We are obliged to resort to this system by the pres sing demands of our business, which has now reached a stage requiring the prompt payment of every cent that is due us. All items con nected with the publication of the paper have taken an enormous advance, and cost us th., "ready cash," or its equivalent. If we were printing a paper for the mere ambi tion of having a large subscription list, we might be satisfied with letting every one who chose to take it do so, and pay us when- he pleased, or not at all, as is too often the care. Experience has taught us that it is better to have a safe and reliable patronage of 4 eightsen or nineteen hundred prompt-paying subscribers -than one of twieejhe number who do not care when they settle, or whether they ever do so. We hereby give notice that afterthis date no new • subscriptions will be received unless they are accompanied by the money, or are handed in by some person whose responsibility we are 4C quainted with. , We plainty foram the fi nancial storm which is coming, and are determined to apert it if possi ble, by bringing up our business, as nearly as can be, to the cash system.

A dispatch of the 17th from Calm), says that the steamer Mina was fired into on Tuesday night, nest. Fort Pillow, by fifty rebels in Union uniform, supposed to have been the rear-guard of the enemy. The steamer swan reports that the rebel force under Gen. Wirt Adams drove our troops from the Big Black, a week ago, and took several hundred prisoners. The steamer Hope was fired into by guerrillas when 15 milts above Memphis.. The fire was re turned, dispersing them. The steamer Golden Giste from Memphis for Fort Pil low, laden S: vith boat stores and private freight, was taken possession of guer rillas,'on the night of the 12th inst., at Bradley's Landing, 15 miles abode Mem phis. The boat, passengers and crew were rifled of everything. The steamer Clister was fired into, near Augusta,on the White Riper, a faVv;days ago. and one man was killed and three wounded. An affidavit taken at Cairo declares that the Quarter master of the 13th Tennessee Cavalry was, while living, nailed to a board by the reb els and thrown into the flames of a hurtl ing building at Fort Pillow. The repot of the Commissary General of Prisoners accompanying the Secretary of War's report, has just been published. It shows that the number of Rebel officers and men captured by us since the begin ' ing of the War ii : 1 lieutenant -general, 5 I major-generals, 25 briptlier-gen-rals, 186 colonels. 146 lieutenant-cnlonels, 24.-1 ma jors. 2,497 Captains, 5,811 lieutett.titte, 16.- 563 non-cornmissionett 011icer5,121,156 pri vates, and j 5,800 citizens. Of these, we had on hand at th 6 dat- of the report 29.- 229 afteers tititl men among whom were 1 major-general and 7 . brigadiers. There have been; 121,937 Rebels exchanged against 110,866 Union n., n returned. The exchange ()liken; on botr,,,ifif:4 are compu ' tied at theinexcliangable value in privates. Since the date of the above report, there have been less than 1.0: . 0 exchanges, and very, few captures . on either side. The figurts are, consequently approximately correct.. Nto statement has been turnished fo our Government of the ',timber of the prisoners hbld by the Rebels,—Tribune. Dispatche's from Gen. Sherman confirm the stories bf Rebel barbarity at Fort Pil low. There were five negro soldiers buried alive; one, although wounded, was compelled io assist in digging the pit and was then thrown - in and covered up. Gen: Sherman says our loss was 53 white sol diers killed and 100 wounded, and 300 black soldiers butchered after they had surrendered. Chalmers, the Rebel cornt mander, told a Union facet that there was to be no mercy for "hoine-made Yank keel" or SOuthern Uoionistb. On Satur day Coiigrews directed an immediate inves tigation into the whole matter.—Tribune, A diipateh froin , Louisville states that on ThOrsday Col. Gallup, while falling back to get an advantageous position, at. tacked Lop() rebels, killing and wounding 25, ingludlng a Colonel, and capturing 50 prisoners, 1100 horses and 200 saddles Near ISelbyville the rebel I advance .ran into Colotel True 'a advance, which was going', front West, Liberty to Selbyville, and which captured six rebels and then pressed forward to join Col: Gallup. On Friday, a body of Rebel cavalry made an attack on our pickets at Bristow Station, killing.one man and __wounding two others of the 13th Pensylvania Reg iment. They were driven off, after a few shots had! been exchanged, but carried their wounded with them. - Lieut.-Gen. Grant had passed the spot in the car only a few moments before the attack, and the supposition is that the Rebels designed to make hits a prisoner. The statement that the draft had been postponed until May 1 seems to have been premature. The instructions of the Pro rost-Marithal-General are that "credits will be given ,for both veterans , and recruits to ineltide the 15th inst. Be prepared to make the draft immediately thereafter in sub drstricts then deficient.. but not to com mence until further orders." The nOtorious-Rebel guerrilla Reynolds. and kis Command were surprised, on Fri..; day, sombwhere near Knoxville. ' 10 were' killed and 15 others, includingßeynolds; were captured. A steamer Which passed Fort Pillow on Friday eVening brings news that the Fort is in ruins, but nothing could be seen to indicate that the enemy were there. ral Defeat lei Walnut. , The C icago Evening jotirluil publishes lettersfrom the Red River expedition; giving t e details of a severe Union disas: ter at Pleasant Rill, Desoto Parish, La.= Our cavalry of the 3d and 4th divisions of the 13t. •Artos.corps, after a herd fought, batilai : tii yysroute by a largely am.

The 19th corps checked the rebels and held them fer about 23 minutes when they were forced to retire, which they did slowly, and as night came on the bloody conflict ended. A letter from a private says: Our foVces of the 13th corps were all cut to pieces and we fell back to this plum (Grand &ore) 5 or 6 miles from it& field of halos to rdorgsnize.
