At considerably increased expense for paper
and work, we have changed the form of the
Semi-Weekly Advocate, enlarging the size of
the sheet. This renders it necessary to make
a difference in price between the Weekly and
Serai-Weekly. Our rates will be as follows :
Weekly, per annum, $1 50

Extra Session of Congress.
Lincoln is exercised about something or oth
er Telegraphic dispatches announce that he
has called an extra session of his Congress,
to convene on the fourth day of July next.

Major Anderson.
The Black Republicans of the North are now
denouncing Major Anderson as an infamous
traitor. This is all very well. They will help
Kentucky on a little faster than might other
wise happen without their aid.
Gen. Pillow.
Soon after the Chattanooga train reached
the Marietta Depot, it became known that Gen.
Pillow was on board. He was loudly called
for, and responded to the call very briefly, as
the cars stopped here but a few minutes. His
words, though few, were very much to the
point. Gen. P. is on his way to Montgomery,
to offer to President Davis his services in be
half of the South, and to bring into the field,
at any designated point, 5,000 men in sixty
days. This is the way in which Tennessee
should speak.
Fourth Brigade.
We learn that the 4th Brigade, under the
command of Gen. Phillips, is nearly organized.
Companies enough have been tendered to Gen.
Phillips, but the time of encampment at this
place will be delayed for a few days, whilst
waiting on the North-eastern counties of the
State. The men and oil! ‘ers of the Brigade
are anxious and ready to be in the field. We
learn that the number could be swelled to ten
thousand men in live days.
Eulogy on Gov. M<*Donald -Judge
Jackson.
Hon. Henry 11. Jackson will deliver the eu
logy on Gov. McDonald in this place, as pre
viously announced, on Saturday next, the 20th,
at o'clock. Our fellow-citizens from
this and the adjoining counties whocan, should
come. Judge Jackson is one of the ablest,
most upright, talented and eloquent men in the
State. No more appropriate selection of an or
ator could have been made.
Pauperism and Crime in the Metropolitan
District.—We copy the following from the
New York Herald. It speaks for itself.—
Mark, this is what a New York paper says:
But a glance at the pauperism and crime
existing in the same area, wdl astonish us.—
The census marshals return 1 14,990 paupers
in the Metropol tan district, wholly or partial
ly supported at the public expense during the
year. Thus we see that about one in every
ten of our population were either wholly or in
part supported at the public expense. This is
independent of a large number supported bv
private charity, for which our citizens are pro
verbial. The number of criminals convicted
within tin'year in the Metropolitan district
was 50,938 —thus showing that crime is a nat
ural attendant upon poverty.
This magnitude of pauperism and crime
should be looked squarely in the face, as a
thing we do not find to any great extent in the
slave labor States. Though freedom is tl e
normal condition of the white man, he drags
at every step the galling chain <<f inferiority
in social lite. Here among one million two
hundred thousand people, one person in every
ten is wholly or in part aided by public charity.
Would it not be better to reflect seriously on
this condition of social life before we make
war on an institution under which the physical
comforts of the laboring class are we’l provid
ed for? The fact that within the last quarter
of a century the slave population has about
doubled—increased from two to four millions
■—shows that in physical comforts and general
good treatment they have I; tic to complain of.
That they are happier than the free blacks,
both North and South, no one can trutliful’v ‘
deny; that they are better cared for in sickness
have more of the necccssaries of life, than the
great body of the laboring white class in the
free States, is equally evident.

receive them in a diplomatic character. They
addressed Mr. Seward a letter in which they
said, that if hostilities should Occur all the re
sponsibility should rest on the administration
of Mr. Lincoln.
They also stated that they had almost daily
indirect assurances that Fort Sumter was pos*
itivcly to be abandoned, and the efforts of the
Government were to be directed towards peace.
Under this pretext and assurance an immense

gross perfidy, and they will return to then
outraged people and express their flfiin convic
tion that war is inevitable.
