, Largely Increasing.


Our subscription has so steadily and
largely Increased since the beginning OF
the present volume, that We feel fat
tered into an expression Of thanks to the
many kind friends who have aided US so
substantially. Each day brings us addi-
tional names; names of old friends, who
formerly. took the paper, but were latter
ly prevented, in some instances by the
absence of mail facilities, and in others
by the absence of the great peedful-1mon.
ey. And names also Of new. friends, OF
those who are just now taking an inter
est in the welfare of their own paper,
and in our success. We heartily thank
them for this manifestation of kindly
feeling, and will endeavor, so far as in
our power, to merit their good will, and
make our paper more interesting than
ever. We welcome the old and the new,
from home and abroad, and at the same
time thank those who have stuck to US
through the whole time, through good
and evil.

Our Cross.

The use of the X mark, as sign that
a subscribers time has expired, works
generally like charm. True, our friends
do not all like to see it-and we do not
blame them-but as it is the best means
known among the fraternity, and is 50
successful, it will soon be better appreci-
ated. We regret tbat,a few base shown
their dislike by becoming offended and
refusing to respond to the call to renew
thereby forcing the alternative on Us OF
stopping the paper to them. The offence
is only temporarily felt, however, for
nearly all of them come back again, after
a calm look at the thing, recognizing
the necessity on our part of adopting
lust such q wholesome measure. We
would not offend them for any considera-
ton. We use the X, reader, as the
most convenient, the best, in fact the
only suitable means of effecting the pur.
pose designed, that is of letting the SUBJ
scriber know that his time has expired,
and inviting him to renew. fit is not
needed, we stop sending. 1t is simple,
and we hope will not hereafter prove
offensive. We all have crosses to bear.

GoSs 70 CHARLEsroS.-The senior,
se1ue,imes called "the fighting editor, "
but better known as "Tommy of Gravel
town." has thrown aside the harness and
taken a trip to the riverside. 'Tis not
often that he INDUCES in sport outside
the charmed surroundings Of Bush Riv-
er, and the mysterious en7irons of the
old Church. But re has gone to drink
in the soft, salubrious air Of the sea, and
list to the murmurings of the tide. We
wish him much real, unalloyed, solid
enjoyment, in the Queen City, and a
safe return to the wholesome restraints

The correspondent of the Baltimor'


=. The correspondent of the Baltimore
Ssa, says: - -. ,-'z - ,,'..,
"Big Scare" seems to have taken pos
session of certain officials here, and upon
the suggestion Of Mr.. Stanton and others
who apprehend some mysterious combi-
nation of Mosby's satellites and other ex-
rebels to attack and take possession Of
the capitol, an additional military force
has been ordered here, and for three days
past have been "sleeping on their arms. 4"
Four military companies are among
the recent acquisitions to the troops sta
toned here. All this military move
ment seems to be based upon curbstone
gossip of the revolutionary purposes of
somebody who wants to get rid of Con-
gress.
This s'scare" excites the merriest ridi-
cule among the law-abiding people here.
The N. Y. Herald's correspondent
gives more coioring to the scare:
Itis understood tonight that the ex'
pectation of an attack from the Virginia
Shore has within the past few days, taken
a more substantial form than was at first
anticipated. 1t is known that an order
has lust been issued in the War Depart
ment directing forty army wagons, with
teams and teatnsters, to be kept in readi'
ness to move at q moments notice fo'
the transportation Of supplies. Private
orders have also been issued to the com
manders of garrisons aboRt the city te
keep their commands, both officers and
men, in quarters.
