TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

From July |, 1854, the price of THE CALEDo-
MAN will be Two Dollars $4,000 year in
advance.
We have thus long delayed the change in our
terms hoping that the prices of articles that go
10 make up a newspaper would fall. But instead
of falling there has been constant advance TOR
more than year. We are therefore now COM
PEELED to advance our terms, and though not IN
proportion to the rise in other things we think II
sufficient for the present and we hope for all future
time.
We believe the time has come when our sub
scribers do not expect to get their newspapers at
the old prices while they have to pay an advance
Of from fifty to two hundred per cent. for every
thing else thew buy. We think they will cheer
fully accede to this advance feeling that it is best

fifty cents year more than It did five or ten years
ago.

devote more time to it's columns, and we hope at
least to make it what it has ever had the reputa-
ton of being. live local newspaper. Its sub
scrption list was never SO large as at the present
time, for which our friends one and all have our
hearty thanks. BY earnest endeavor and hard
work we hope to retain their confidence and
patronage. (2t)

No More Communication.

The communication clause in the enrolment
bill ia doomed to be stricken out. Inc
house has virtually done it already by adopt
ne Mr.. Smithers' substitute which provides
for draft for one year, but previous to this

volunteering, and during that time volunteers
will be accepted for one, two or three years,

ly. At the end of 60 days a draft will be
made for any deficiency, when every able
bodied man drafted will have to take the
field or send substitute, as no commu tation
will be received. This bill also provides that
the executive Of any state may recruit in the
insureent states. This it is believed by ma
ny will be great advantage, and if good
use is made of the first two months Of grace
draft may be avoided. The blacklegs who
have charge Of the substitute business will
now put up their prices out of the reach Of
oru;bary mortals.

o. The Tribune concludes an article up
on "Our Suffering Heroes" with the follow
lowing welltimed paragraph:
Are our wounded boys amply supplied
with the fruits of the season? and, if not,
who will promptly make the needful arrange
ments to remedy the oversight? Thousands
of them suffer from dysenteric affections for
which fresh, ripe blackberries are natures
antdote and there is not ue-hearted
boy or girl in the land who would not re-
joice over the privilege of picking for day,
or several days, as his or her humble contri-
button toward the relief of our wounded
braves. But ecery fruit is wholesome in its
season, and every hospital should overflow
with the best, a free-will Offering from the
loyal heart to the outstretched arm of the ma
ton. Fathers and mothers in every state
speak to your children on this point, and let
US have not only fruit contributed Tor present
use, but barrelsof tie choisest dried and other
wise preserved for use next winter! Your
languishing sons may thus be solaced and
aided to recover; or, if not. somebody's sons
certainly will. Do not let the season pass
without the amplest provision for the future
as veil as the present needs of our suffering
heroes.

r The democratic party is in bad way.
1t has neither principles nor men that it dare
to present to the country for the presidential
election, and so the Chicago convention, which
was to be held July 4, is postponed till Aug
ust 49, By that time the oopperheads hope
something will turn up in their favor so that
they can make strike with some chance OF
success. If this hope fails them they will
have no alternative but fall into the rear of
the Pathfinder and with him try to push Mr..
Lincoln of the track. Verify the democratic
party have fallen lower than it. bitteres,
enemies ever dared to hope. In the mean.
time the ratification of the nomin alton Of
Lincoln and Johnson is quietly going on,and
the enthusiasm and confidence Of the people
IN their candidates is no wise abated. The
presidential canvass will not be opened in
earnest for some months yet, as the war in.
terest IS now paramount, as it should be-
bnt when the time does come for action. the
friends of Mr.. Lincoln will not be found
wanting. The republican national committee
and the peace democrats, of whom Fernando
Wood is chief, had meetings in New York
on Tuesday, but the proceedings were mi.
yate, and none of the transactions have leak
ed out.
