RENEW IN TIME.

Every subscriber should take particular
pains to see that his subscription is not al
lowed to run out at this time, and cause him
to miss valuable papers that he would not
do without. The demand for THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE now is so great, on account Of the
unusual value Of the articles, that very few
extra copies remain on hand, consequently
it is difficult, if not impossible, to comply
with requests made after the lapse Of some
weeks. Every one who reads this notice
should mark the yellow address slip at the
head of his paper, and compare the number
with that in the date line. For example,
this number of the paper is 273; if the
number of the address tag is 274, the sub
scriber will get but one more paper; if it is
2s2, he will get 10 more papers. A little
attention in this way will save both him and
us much annoyance.

that If the rebel conspirators succeeded in
Remembering the country one Of their first
acts would be to erect on the ruins of the
Republic they had destroyed snowy aris-
tocracy, by creating the chief plotters, the
successful Generals, etc, princes, dukes,

age. The honors accorded Miss Winnie
Davis show how deeply this idea was i'm
bedded in the minds of the conspirators.
Simply because she is the child of the man
who would have been a sort of brevet King
ifthey had succeeded in their plot she is given
almost royal station. She is treated precisely
as in Europe the adherents of deposed
monarch treat him and his children. She
receives the same deference-almost homage
that the French Royalists gave the

tended 10 be the legitimate King of France.

stirring circular to all the GAR. Posts in
the State, in which he said:
