TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

The great increase in the price of ali printing
material, as well as the labor about the pub
fishing of newspaper, compels us to adopt
the course which all our contemporaries have of
late indicated, as the only safe one for the con-
ductors of a newspaper. We, like the rest of
the community, are burthened with an unusual
expense, owing to circumstances over which we
have no control. In view of this state of things,
we are reluctantly compelled to say to our sub.
scribers, that from and after this date we shall
charge One Dollar and Fifty cents year for the
1Egis & IatelIigencer-nvariably in advance;
and T,co Dollars if not paid until the end of the
year.
Those persons now indebted TO us for subscrip-
tion who settle their bills before the first of Oc-
tober, will only be charged 81, but after that
date 81 so will in all cases be demanded. One
dollar and fifty cents has always been the price
of the paper when not paid in advance, but we
have never demanded it, and would not now, if
circumstances did not peremptorily require such
a course. The enlargement of our paper has i'm
posed upon us an additional expense, and Ger
tainly made the paper that much more valuable
TO our readers
We feel that III adopting this course we are
only taking such steps as every Judicious man,
in the present condition of affairs, finds himself
compelled to adopt; and without saying more,
we return our thanks to the public for the very
liberal support OF the last two years, and prom
Use, that to the extent of our feeble abilities the
-Ayis & hatelligencer shall be a welcome visitor

WAR AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

The Detroit Free Press says:
Notice was given yesterday of the expa-
triation of a number of citizens from Colum.
bus, Paducah and vicinity, Kentucky, by
order Of Gen. Paine, fer giving aid and
comfort to the rebels. The party arrived
in this city this morning, en- route for
Canada, under the conductorship of Capt.
FL. B. Norton, 9Th U. s. colored heavy
artillery, and the fragrance of about two
dozen artillerists. Their appearance at
the Michigan Central station created quite
sensation, and numbers of our citizens
engaged in conversation with the "sympa-
thisers," who unfolded ground unvar-
nished tale" of the cause of their banish-
ment, as far as would be permitted by the
guard.
The party consisted of about forty per-
sons, men, women and children, all of
whom belonged to the first families of the
State in which they resided-judges,
magistrates and wealthy merchants, young
and beautiful women, widows and their
offspring. Those with whom our repor-
ter conversed, expressed none but the
most loyal Sc ltiments to the Federal gov
eminent. They stated that they know not
for what reason they were ordered into ex-
lie. Tkcy were simply notified that they
must either 'tgo to hell, Africa or Cana
d." by an imperial edict from Gen
Paine. They were allowed no trial, no
hearing, no opportunity to 'vindicate their
honor or patriotism before God and man,
but without word or any recognition of
their rights as citizens, they were ordered
off in manner which would have reHcc-
ted credit upon the workings of an inqui-
sition.
They left Paducah on Monday MORN
ing, and have been travelling ever since
They were very naturally fatigued and
careworn, apart from the mental torture
which they must endure in being separa-
ted from home and friends What their
future prospects are, is unknown as yet tc
themselves. They are indeed strangers in
strange land. They feel satisfied, how.
ever, that when the facts relating to theiI
Punishment become known to the proper
authorities, they will receive the justice
which they allege has up to the present
time, been denied them.

A Woman's Influence.

The old Gallo theory, which forbade
woman to govern, seems to have origiua-
ted in good sense, and TO have had good
practical effect. France is the first power
in the world, and she ney,r had an abso-
lutte queen; Spain and England are ruled
by women; the first has upon the throne
shameless incontinent, and the last
melancholy lunatic. History shows few
examples of feminine executive ability
Zenobia was brave, and hen-pecked her
husband, but lost the independence of her
country. Isabella, in conjunction with
her husband, has a leading place in histo-
ry; but she was cruel zealot, and cursed
her kingdom with the fires Of the Inqai-
sition. Elizabeth had literary court,
and in her long reign England grew to
power; but she was virago, and, without
good counsellors and generals, might have
been sad example of the weakness Of
her sex. Old Abe is bad President;

Correspondence Of the Missouri Republican.
Reign of Terror in the West.

CAIRO, Sept. 15.-Gen. Fry, of Ken
lucky, aud of Zollickoffer fame, has, ar
rived at Paducah, having been sent from
Washington to investigate the reign of
terror and blood Of Gen. Paine.
The simple facts that will be substan,
tiated upon this investigation, will send a
thrill of horror through the people of the
civilized world. Paine was in command
ffty-six days and shot sixty seven men,
and no evidence can be found that single
one was ever tried by military commission.
He was at the guard-house one day, and
prisoner happened to displease him,
when he ordered the guard to shoot him
down; negro faithfully executed the
order. One old man, described as an OBJ
ject pitiful in the extreme, has been car
rying water fifty days, and could not for
the life of him imagine what his offence
was. When a prisoner was brought to
Gen. Paine, and pronounced by his cap
tors Rebel in arms, the matter was sum-
marily settled by an order to "shoot him
tomorrow morning, at eight o'clock. -
Gen. Meredith has turned ffty-one per-
sons loose at Mayfeld; and has emptied
the guard house at Paducah. The bloody
days of Robespierre have been blotted out,
and an American now bears aloft the
reeking palm.
General Fry is determined the matter
shall be thoroughly sifted, and that stern
justice shall be done. The greatest ex-
element prevails among the people Of
that district, and, when Gen. Fry notified
them that he wanted to talk to them, in.
stead of coming in little squad, they
rushed en- naasse.
He has arrested and placed in the guard
house number of negro soldiers that have
been fourishing there lately so extensive
ly, because they had commenced to de-
nounce Gen. Fry as ''secesh Genera"
The Lucian Andersons and Bolingers, the
men who boasted they had Robespierre TO
command at Paducah, are now terror
stricken, and their pale cheeks and trem-
bling lips attest their guilty consciences.
The country may look for news from Gen.
Fry that will tax their utmost credulity.

WAR NEWS.

The latest official information from the Valley
of Virginia is that at eleven clock on Saturday
night General Sheridan was six miles south of
New Market about eighty miles from Martins
burg. The enemy had been driven from Mount
Jackson by Gen. Sheridan without his being able
TO bring on an engagement, and were retreatng
rapidly down the Valley. Hospitals with the
encny's wounded were found in all the towns
along the route. Gen. Torbert, the cavalry COM
mander, who had been sent down the Luray
Valley, attacked Wickham's force at Luray and
captured number of prisoners. The number of
pieces of artillery captured at Fishers Hill by
the Union troops is now pnt down at twenty,
and the number ofprisoners taken at eleven hun
dred. No list of the captured material was re-
ceived by the War Department, but it is repor-
ted to be very large amount.
Despathes from Lieut.. Gen. Grant to the Sec
rotary of War, dated at 10 o'clock on Sunday
night, report no military operations.
The intelligence from other military depart
ments contained in Secretary Stanton's bulletin
is to the effect that General Hood appears to be
removing towards the Alabama line that
strong force of raiders are operating againt Gen.
Sherman's communications and have captured
Athens, Alabama, that exertions 10 overtake the
raiders were being made, and that Gen. Steele
has been strongly reinforced and has taken the
offensive.
Advices from Missouri indicate that some STIR
ring events may soon be expected in that State,
Gen. Price, with force of thirty thousand men,
Is reported to have entered the State. His plan
is thought to be to march to the central part of
it and capture all the important points. Gen.
Kirby Smith, with ten or twelve thousand men,
from Arkansas, it is supposed will join him.
The gueras are all concentrating to aid in the
movement. Gen. Pike has called out the militia,
and Gen Rosecrans was expected to issue an ap-
peal calling the people to arm for State defense.
A despatch from Carlo states that the Memphis
Bulletin ofSaturday publishes report of the sur
render of Mobile to the Union gunboats. The
Washington papers of Monday afternoon, re-
ferring 10 the subject, say the announcement was
without official authority, and is not believed by
persons who have the best knowledge of the sit
uation before the city Of Mobile.

Without Columbus.

Had America remained undiscovered,
what would have been the condition of the
world to-day? The same number Of men
now existing on the Continent must have
been born in the Old Word, already over
stocked. Portions of them might have
penetrated into remote Africa and Asia,
carrying western civilization with them !;
the mass would have been stationary, as
masses always are; and wars, crimes,
plaques, must have been used by man and
nature to thin them out The world un-
circumnavigated, its rotundity might not
have been suggested to Galileo, and fatu-
lency would so pervade philosophy. No
body would now be chewing tobacco or
growing pumpkins and potatoes; the
longest river in the world would not be
the Mississippi. The American Revolu-
ton never occurring, no corresponding
strife would been noted in France, and we
should have known neither Washington
nor Napoleon. Naval architecture having
no considerable voyage TO make, would
have been confined to paltry sballops or
galleys; the Portuguese would have yet to
demonstrate the peninsularity of Africa,
and Lord Nelson and Captain Cook would
have spared historians any trouble. When
the discovery was made, the Turks were
steadily fastening themselves upon Europe,
backed by the hordes of Asia. A spirit
of adventure and invention, begotten by
the widening of nature and thought, gave
advantages to Christianity which Moslem-
ism lost-never passing the great deep
and losing, Europe slid from its grasp,
Otherwise we might be sitting bowlegged
in St. Peters or st. Paul's to-day, or ped
ding in the bazaars of Bagdad, with five
wives in our harem near by, and terribly
hot turbap around our heads. The man
who put out his hand and drew planet
down to our boundaries has ust had a
monument erected to HIM on the Straits
of Gibraltar. 1t bears the devices of the
Spanish kings who put him in chains, and
the inscription "plus ultra" But in &C.
noa, where he was born, not tablet stands
to mark his birthplace,-N y Mercury.

at all times, and the domestic polity of
the White House has therefore an unen-
viable notoriety, quite different from the
grace, dignity and hospitality of Miss
Harriet Lane, who knew that the nation
had not elected her to the Chief Masistra-
cy.
While woman lacks, we think, general
legislative ability, she is the best domes-
tic executive that we can get and if we
were the mistress of the White House, we

The New Constitution for Maryland.

The National htelHgencer speaks Of
the attempt of the late Convention to re-
strict the right of suffrage at the approach
ing election upon the ratification or rejec-
tion of the new Constitution, in the follow
ing terms:
at is perfectly proper for the compe-
tent authority in the State of Maryland to
regulate the right of suffrage by prescribing
the conditions on which it shall be exer-
cised. But anybody who knows anything
of constitutional polity in the. States of
this Union will not contend that Con-
vention is such competent authority
The right of suffrage in the State of Mary
land can be legally regulated only by the
Legislature of the State, acting under and
in conformity to the provisions of the ex-
isting Constitution. The members Of
State Convention have no legislative au-
thority whatever, either to add to or sub
tract from the conditions of the elective
franchise, and their work can be legally
ratified only as it shall be ratified by the
same voting population which elected
them. The Legislature of Maryland, &C
ting under the existing Constitution, has
prescribed the qualifications of suffrage in
that State, sbut the Convention, in the very
act of protesting to submit its work to the
popular approval or condemnation, makes
part of its work (Which is yet wholly
without legal or binding authority of any
kind part of the organic and statute law
of the State, thus overriding the existing
Constitution, and the statutes made in
pursuance of that Constitution.
"Such proceeding, it will be seen, in
wolves grave political anomaly, which
nothing but the ascendancy of revolution
airy ideas in the Convention could have
concealed from the perception Of its men,.
bers.
II * X x x
GAS the Convention had precisely as
much right to declare that their work
should be submitted for ratification or re-
lection to themselves alone, as to limit and
define the class of persons to whom it
should be SO referred, in way not author
lied by the present Constitution and laws
of Maryland-as the assumption in the
one case would have differed from the as
sumption in the other only in degree and
not at all in kind-it is to be regretted
that they did not adopt the former course,
that we might thus have furnished full
blown specimen of what they call in
France Constitution octroye; that is'a
Constitution granted to the people on the
mere motion and out Of the plenary au-
thority of somebody who assumes to be
above them" .
