THE LEXINGTON GAZETTE.

The Lexington Gazette has increased
its advertising rates to $500 per square
for three weeks, and its subscription to
$500 per annum. The Gazette says:
''Does any one object to our present
terms of subscription or advertising p
If he does, we have a proposition for
him.
Three years ago he gave us a cord OF
wood for one years subscription-now
we will take less than halt cord. He
used to pay his subscription with tacelue
pounds of butter, now he can do the
same with four pounds. It formerly re-
.quired four bushels Of corn, now we
will send him the paper for one bushel.
While we would have demanded sarteeaa
chickens for our paper three years ago,
we will now be content with four half
grown specimens Of the feathered tribe,
though not sufficient for comfortable
breakfast for ourselves and the employ
ees Of our office. IF you wish to pay in
hay or flour, we will take one.fourth of
what you formerly gave us.
You say the paper has been reduced
in size. So it has; but still our material
costs more than three times as much as
it formerly did. Are we not right then
in advancing our rates to what they now
are? And may we not be justifable in
another advance within the next three
months"
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1863-08-25
LOOK FOR THE CROSS MARK

Those who find a cross mark upon
their papers, or wrappers, will under
stand that they are owing for subscrip-
ton from the 1st of May, 1860, or near
that time, to September 18th, 1863, and
that their papers will be discontinued,
after the Issue dated September 18th,
unless they Day $e.G0-~the amount aaOso
due-and $500 additional for the next
years subscription. Those, Therefore,
who desire their papers continued, will
enclose the sum of $1,000, and those
who do not, will enclose the sum OF
SS.00--th amount moao due. In these
times, we cannot afford to send the pa
per to any who do not pay promptly
Our terms are CASH IN ADVANCE.
We hope and believe that those whom
we have indulged for this length of time
will pay up as soon as they see this no
tice; and we should be pleased if they
would continue to remain subscribers
Their failure to pay has not resulted
we are satisfied, from any Discrimination
or want of ability to do so, but from
neglect alone-they have not thought 0
it.. We are brought TO this conclusion b,
observing that some of our most respect
able, responsible and SUBSTANTIAL subscrib
ers are in ar.ears to the amount and 70
the time mentioned. We are satisfies
that this rem inder is all that is needed
induce them to pay at once, both wha
they are now owing and what will OF
tain the paper for the ensuing year
to wit: 1920.

GOV. VANCE, OF NJ. q.

Governor Vance, of North Carolina,
has pursued wise policy in sending to
Europe, purchasing fine steamer and
running her in loaded with clothing
and other useful things for the State
troops and citizens. Amongst the arti-
Giles are 100000 pair cotton cards, which
the Governor sells to the people at cost,
forty cents in specie.) Mightnot other
people do likewise The ship has gone
out with a fine freight of cotton and will
soon be back with more useful goods. -
The consequence will be that in six
months North Carolina will be amply
supplied by the Governor with many in
dispensable articles, and huge pile of
cash will be accumulated in London to
the credit Of the State.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

To whom much is given, of them will
much be expected. In these times much
will be expected of those who possess an
abundance of this worlds goods. Those
who have the means should relieve the
wants of the poor. The very high prices
of the accessories of life make it impos-
sfble for many to procure them honestly
unless aided by the contributions OF
those who are more fortunate. those
who have The means, and particularly
those who have made money since the
war commenced, should contribute lib
orally and generously to the support OF
the needy. This is the first duty OF the
property-holder. The second is, to be
wiling to take the lead in meeting the
invaders of our country. If the enemy
waged war against our liberties only,
then all would be equally interested in
defeating them, for liberty is as valuable
to the poor man as to the wealthy, and
| is as highly priced by him but as the
enemy are also making war against prop
erty as we'll as liberty, the property
holder is more interested iii the result OF
the struggle than the man who has no
property to lose, and should be willing,
therefore, to take the lead in any enter
prise which has for its object the pro
lection of our Liberties and property
i There are some property holders so IN
tent upon greater aecumulations that
They cease TO have a single patriotic
lsentiment. and there are lme poor mer
who have suffered their preludices a

remissness of the one is not a justltlabl
excuse for the other. The property
holder should take the lead, and say

CONFEDERATE FINANCES,

The whole amount of Treasury notes
issued since the Government went into
operation is 1924, 100000. There have
been one hundred and twenty -four mil
lions Of these notes funded in Govern
ment bonds, and about one million can
celled. The whole amount of the pub
lie debt, including the fifteen million
European loan, will not reach $780,
100000.
The Government holds vast amount
of cotton purchased with Treasnry notes,
besides ether assets, such as munitions
OF war, government works, machinery,
clothing and supplies on hand for the
soldiers, ships in service, &c, &c. But
the only available asset is the cotton
We do not know what is the number of
bales or its value, but we presume it
must be fifty millions. If the debt Is
larger than was anticipated, it must be
borne in mind that only small portion
of it bears interest, viz the bonds and
the interest bearing notes and we are
informed from the report that The entire
interest on the public debt does rot ex-
coed twenty-three millions of dollars.

addressed letter to the Secretary OF
War on the subject of the exemption OF
