rhe. Conscrip,ion Bill PASSED.

The House has passed the Conscription
bill with the amendments of the Senate, and
it now only wants the Presidents signature to
become a law. 1t passed the House by
vote of SO yeas to 60 nays.
The payment of three hundred dollars, as
the law now stands will not exempt a man
for three years. The bill discriminates be-
tween the two classes of substitutes and re-
stricts the duration of exemption by cemmu-
tation. The two classes are consolidated
No exemptions whatever are allowed except
for mental or physical disability, or two years
previous service in the army or navy. Ne
groes, slaves and free are TO be drafted 10y
al masters to receive 800 bounty only in
case the slave is freed forever. Commission
ers are to be appointed in each slave State
now in the Union, to fix the price of slaves
drafted, which in no case shall exceed three
hundred dollars. Furnishing substitutes ex-
empts only for the time the substitute is not
liable to draft. The commutation is $500,

the required number of men, second is to
follow. SECTIONS nineteen and twenty Of the
present law are repealed. The payment of
bounties are extended to the loyal masters of
negroes now. in service.

: We published some time since an account
of the murder of the son of the President of
the Maiden (Mass.) Bank. 7 he murderer has
at length been discovered, in the person of the
Postmaster at Maiden. The account says
THE MAIDEN MuHDER.- Suspicion fell on
Edward w. Green, in consequence of his
having recently paid number of debts in
Maiden Bank bills, and be was arrested. Af-
ter the search of Green's person he was con
Quoted into an adjoining room, where he was
informed that he had been followed and
watched for some time. 3Thereupon, without
any unusual emotion, he confessed his guilt
He stated that on the day of the murder he
visited the bank twice. the first time he
found there aconduetor, who left there a pair
of skates; the next was at half-past eleven.
Immediately on entering he went into the
directors room, and seeing no one, he drew a
pistol a six barreled Smith & Wessin revoly-
er, placing the muzzle within foot of young
Converse's head and fired, the ball taking eff
feet under or back of the ear He then dis
charged a second barrel, the ball taking effect
in Converse's temple, while his victim lay on
the floor. After the consummaton of the
deed he seized the bills in the drawer, about
five thousand dollars, and went to his own
office. .=szsa Ia
He gave information where the money was
concealed, and $4O69 were recovered. This
with several sums paid by him accounts for
the whole amount stolen from the Bank. -

NEwBERN, February z.
The enemy are again threatening our COM
munications at various points. They made
another demonstration this morning on New
port Barracks, which point they will attempt
to hold. The erroneous report that we were
being strongly reinforced here for the purpose
of resisting the rebellious movement at Ra-
leigh has brought a large force of the enemy
into this State for the double purpose of
checking the convention movement and re-
possessing themselves of what territory they
have lost, if possible.
The rebel iron clad Atkinson, on the Neuse
river, some 800 miles above Ne 3bern, is oon-
sidered very formidable affair. 1t is report
ed that she is about ready to act in concert
with the moving forces which threatens New
bern. -sfo s 80 @
This large rebel force will not be idle
Everything indicates on the part of the ene-
my long siege against Newbern and Wash
ington.
The presence of strong feet of gunboats
in these waters is an imperative necessity.
The Wilmington Journal says that a pow
erful effort will doubtless be made to drive
the enemy from eastern North Carolina
Should our army fail in this effort, the State
will be lost to the Confederacy. The oppo-
siton papers are still outspoken in their SEN
timents.

The Summit County Beacon proposes to
advance its priceof subscription. In its issue
of Feb. 11th, it says y 10 Islsgss46I Ssat %
ANOTHER HoIsTAPrinting paper has taken
another hoist and the prospectus fair for its
soon going. still higher. While the most of
our cetemporaries have increased the sub
scriptiou price of their respective papers, we
have kept along at the old price, in hopes
that downward tendency in printing nlateri-
ais would ere long manifest itself, but DOW
fear that we, too shall have to soon make an
advance upon tie price of the Beacon This,
in view of the enhanced value of every 9TH
eyj commodity in market, unreasonable sub
scriber would object to, for it would then cost
him less than it formerly did. For instance,
under7the old condition of things, a farmer
8 would bring ussazload of stove wood at a doll
lar and quarter, and pay us the balance,
twenty-five cents, in money, for a years sub
scripton; now he brings us the same load of
wood, and expects us to give him our paper
a year, and from fifty to seventy y-five cents to
boot. Then one years subscription would
buy six bushels of potatoes for our family, or
as many oats for our pony; now only from
1.-TWO to three. Then the advance price of
0 four Beaeen's won d purchase atom Of good
hay, now it.takes from ten to twelve and
almost every thing else we consume is in
nearly the same proportion. Our subscribers.
awill, therefore, prepare their minds for an ad-
vance in our terms, at an early. day.. In.the
( meant t,me all who pay, in advance, will re-
ceige it at the present rates, until the time for
which they have paid expires
