Asylum.
The whole route is dotted with towns-eight or ten
miles apart Winchester is an old fashioned ramb-
ling town, with many nice Residences The ladies are
said to be remarkably secesh. The Yankees have had
possession of it once or twice. perhaps oftener.
The lOute between Stanton and Winchester pre-

wagons, CARTS every imaginable vehicle, full of
human heings-one-horse wagons carrying from three

toot-men. At night The whole view is lighted up with
thousand camp fires This innumerable company is
going both to and from the army

PRICE OF NEwspAPERs.-The Statesville Express has
advanced its subscription price to So per year The
Editor in speaking of the necessity for this advance
says:
"When the price fixed at So, farmers were will
ling sell IA sack of -four for years subscription;
but it takes than years subscription to
pay for sack of four and many other articles of pro-
duce quite as high as four-doUbe, treble and
qundruple old prices. While this is with regard
the cost of living, paper and printing materials have
been advanced by manufacturers, to enormous
But do not propose to advance in proportion
others if we did, the price for subscription could
not be less than ST year. for that would be about the
proportion Compared with others, the advance of
onc-half which make, is a very small matter and
So year will barely pay the expenses of publishing
the paper, these dear times"
We advanced our price to So per year two months
ago, and we did so for the simple that have
to pay twothirds for printing tcrias than
did last year. For some articles pay than
twothrds. We are gratfej to say that subscr-
bers with few excepons have been liberal enough
to acknowledge the necessity for advance by
promptly renewing their subscriptions three dollars
We have only found four who appeared displeased
because advanced and, in order please them, We
offered take 81 year if they would sell bacon
at Is cents per h., wood at S. load, &c. But
era of subscribers who paid for years subscrp-
ton before advanced the price, voluntarily came
forward and paid another dollar Such men worth

IRoN-cLAD FLEET.-The Liverpool Post says there
is no doubt but that the Confederate Government is
having number of iron clad boats built in England.
The Post remarks:
1T seems very clear, from the present vigorous con-
duet of the Southern Confederacy, that the South at
distant period, will possess iron clad meet caPa-
BILE coping successfully with that of the North
its armies have tri1mphantly met those of the Federal
Government if but the dashing spirit that lead
the armies of the South be found to command it
OF one thing however, think can speak with
certainty and that is that in the vessels built the
Mcrsey. the South will have advantage over the
Federals in strength of build, equipment and invul
nerability The rest their courage will do, and
we may hear of the gallant performance of more
than one No 900 before the announcement of peace

few such the one now building on the Mersey
would make the raising of the Southern blockade an

The improbabilty of recognition is again reported
Sir G. c. Lewis, the British Secretary of War, had
made a Speech in which he said that the in Amer
lea would before long end, but it must be
admitted to be yet undecided And until the Northern
States exhausted and incapable of continuing the
contest it could be said that the independence OF
the Southern States had been established. 4 Cabinet
Council had been summoned to meet the twenty
third of October. This is earlier than usual and the
consideration of the American question is supposed to
be of the purposes of the meeting. The PROPOSE
tiOn before the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce IN
favor of memoralizing the Government to recognize
the South had been withdrawn. The Southern Clue
at Liverpool gave a grand banquet to Ex-Governor
Morehead, of Kentucky. The speeches, of course,
were strongly in support of secession.
Paris correspondents say the Emperor, at the Last
ministerial council overruled the portion OF the min

Yesterday afternoon was signa{ized By 8
riot In the North Division of more than ord:-
nary violence. About noop, a German named
Charles Hitman, better known by the soabri~
quet Of Is Peanut Charley,'' and IN 1rlshman

angry discussion On the corner OF Clark and
KiIzie streets, which soon resulted in pitched
fight. 4 crowd Of people quickly gathered

when his arms were seized aud he was pre-
vented from dlscharging it. With considera

their grasp and succeeded in arresting the Of

to officer Ludwick, who had hardly placed 1is
hand upon the prisoner when the crowd sci

The city was rife with rumofs yesterday
that the murderer Of Thomas Appleby had
been discovered by the confession Of one
William Meadows upon his death-bed, impli-
eating himself. App'eby, It will be rernenl-
bered, was mJsferiously murdered upon the
18th Of June, 1856, at his store, No. 81 Ran
dolph street Two men, MeEyoy and Jordan,
were tried for this murder, which created the
most Intense excitement at the time, but both
were proved and declared innocent. Since
that time, the affair has remained an impene-
trable mystery.
William Meadows, who is alluded to ahoye,
died week ago LAST Sunday, at house Of bad
repute on South Clark street. His last hours
were marked By rather unusual circumstances,
and the dying man seemed desirous Of I'm,
parting some secret which Was troubling him
The woman Of the house sent for Catholi'
priest, and he unburdoned his conscience te
him. Just prior to his death he had beer
| visited by friend, to whom he acknowledged
| that he had murdered mah In Davenport
Iowa, eight years ago, but 5usti6ably and il
| self defence. From this Incident sprung tn
rumor that he had confessed the murdez q
| Appleby. After careful investigation VIC III
satisfied that there is no truth in the story.
