Advance in our Charges for SuDScrlp'
lions.

In consequence Of the increased cost of paper, INK
yppc. fuel and other materials, the Proprietor of
the KEoxvuLE VINO has been compelled TO od-
vance the price of subscriptions and advertising
This step has been taken reluctantly but from ab-
,oute neccssity and after mature deboration. We
have had either to do this or suspend publication
and we know that our Union friends don't want our
paper to stop. A few facts stated may serve as an
excuse for this reform
lion, at 81 per rean, now cost US ELEVEN DOLLARS.
Ink is douJlc labor is douJIe Gro-wood is doubtei
and all we purchase to live upon, or carry on the
office costs thrice or thrice the prices paid before the
rebellion. We were the first Publisher in East Ten
nessec, in 1889, to put down Il weekly paper to TWO
DOLLARS per year, and we have been the last to
raise to Il higher rate. As soon ms circumstances
will Justify it, we will return to old prices This
war will be put down in the course of the year 1860
and then TIE country will be relieved of the high
prices which are draining the resources of business
men, and we shall be among the frstto return tothc
old rates.
In future we must have THREE DOLLARS per
year; and those sending us ONE or TWO DOLLARS
will have the paper furnished for Hird or t'ro-
thirds of year, Our advertising rates will be adj
vanccd in proportion. In the meantime we solicit
the continued support of the friends of the Govern
ment and the enemies of the Rebellion and in
turn, we promise to fight for the one and the other
until victory perchcs upon our standard.

through which passes II small stream. From one

mule teams was attacked by the rebels and
the whole train was captured. The 23o
Illinois regiment had come down to the
junction of the roads for the purpose OF
guarding the train into Petersburg, and
soon after their arrival were attacked by the
rebels with artillery and beaten back in CON
fusion. The regiment is said to be pretty
badly cut up. The train was accompanied
by five or six hundred men, most Of whom
were completely panic stricken. The train
was regarded as most valuable one. Mos
of the men succeeded in making their es
cane, but the mules and horses, about foul
hundred in number, the wagons and con
tents, were captured.
Major Doddridge and his assistant, Mr.
Cline. occupied an ambulance in the rear o

10 many men as shall not have been raised
by March lst on the last call for 100000;
and for 200. 600 more. tat
Men of New-York, if you do not like a

must have them. Volunteer if you will i
