We are sending out to all our daily subscri bers, whose time expires before the 15th in stant, a back number of our paper, with a cross mark, and the day on which their sub scription terminates, entered on the margin of the paper with a red pencil. Let all who wish to continue renew in time. We cannot send out our paper without the money in advance. Advertising is almost nominal, and we live and are able to publish our paper almost from subscriptions alone. And let all who can, send us $5 in advance for a year’s subscription. It will cost them less and be of very great advantage to us- The time and labor of re entering monthly subscriptions is a daily tax on us, while some other portion of our business is suffering for want of our attention. ts ATTENTION, MILITIA.

The Dramatic Entertainment, by the Mari etta Amateur Club, on Tuesday last, says the Marietta “Advocate," was a decided success. The performers, one and all, acted their parts with the skill and effect of professional sta gers. Where all did so well, it would be in„ vidious to particularize ; but we cannot for bear from assuring the Club of the high ap preciation of their efforts, and the entire satisfaction with which their entertainment was received by every one present. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the Manager for the order and system throughout the performance. Everything was done right and at the right time. | Recollect that the Amateurs are coming here Thursday night. You have not seen them yet; but, of course, you will when they come.— Editors Confederacy.| Hoy Killed. Another boy, son of Mr. Owen, who keeps a Livery Stable on street, about 14 years of age, was killed on Saturday evening. He was running back and forth in the cars while they were in motion. H« came on the ' platform of the car next the tender, against which he placed the eud of a slick leaning his i stomach on the othrr eud of it. In this con dition the engine was stopped, when the mo mentum of the car pressed his bopy forward, • into which the stick was thrust, making a frightful and ghastly wound, soon resulting in death. He was buried yesterday. -• • • Personal.

Dr. Taylor presided at the meeting and would have been chosen Captain unanimous ly—as it was his intention to go into the ser vice when he called for the raising of the company. In the meantime,he had received a petition, unanimously signed by the pliysi cians and citizens of the city requesting him to forego bis intention ; stating that he could illy be spared, and that he could be of more service to the country in his present occupa tion, compounding prescriptions &c., for the ills of life, than in the tented field. It was such as be did not feel at liberty to decline and therefore yielded to their request—though re luctantly--and will remain among ns. ♦ ♦ Bible Meeting.

I have somewhere met with following : *• The expressive word starvation was first uttered by Lord Advocate for Scotland, (Dun das,) in recommending measures for subduing the revolted Americans ; and the still more expressive word dirt idon, was first dropped from the lips of the beautiful lady Francis Shirley, the favorite of Lord Chesterfield.'’ To “flirt a fan was a common expression in the last age.. Hence, it came to be ap ’ plied to the affected movements of the head, etc., employed by a lady who is desirous of pleasing or attracting. The fan itself, if one be earned, is usually brought in'o play on such occasions The number of troop- around Baltimore does not exceed seven or eight thousand.— They are stationed part at Fort McHenry, part al Federal Hill, part at Canton, and part at 1 the Relay, and some at Franklin Square, |bytelegraph4 FOR THE « SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.’’ _ Richmond, Oct. 6.—Large quantities of val uable seasonable clothing, comforts and neces saries for our soldiers are daily received and forwarded by Government authorities to spe cial agents here, from all parts of the South, for regiments, companies and individual sol diers. Fully 8000 Marylanders are now in the Con federate army. The rumored landing of a large federal force I at Oceuquan Creek turns out to be untrue Only about 1,500 were landed, and they were quickly withdrawn. The federals are arresting men and women at Wheeling having secession proclivities. The following dispatch has been received from Gen. Henry R. Jackson, at the War De partment : "Camp Bartow, Green Brier River, Oct. 3. The enemy attacked us this morning in con siderable force—estimated at 5,000, with six pieces of artillery of longer range than any we have. Atter a bot fire of four and a half hours, and heavy attempts to charge our lines, he was repulsed—evidently with considerable loss. We bad no cavalry to pursue him on his retreat The loss on our side is inconsidera ble, A fuller report will be given through the regular channel. 1 For several days my correspondence with 1 Gen. Loring has been interrupted. The enemy’s force was superior to ours, but we had the advantage in position. HENRY R. JACKSON, Brig. Gen. Commanding. Wilmington, Oct. 6.—An authentic letter from an officer on board the steamer Raleigh, says that the Curlew and the Raleigh cap- ' tured the federal steamer Fanny’ the evening i before, loaded with blanktes, great coats, shoes ; and clothing for the federal fleet; and 45 men ’ on board. None were killed or wounded on either side. The steamer and her cargo are worth SIOO,OOO. New Orleans, October s.—The four Federal prisoners, who escaped while they wore, en j route for this city, have been arrested and jailed. , New Orleans, October 5 - The U. S. steam ship Mississippi, on yesterday, steamed up ■ within a half mile of the fortifications in the r course of erection on the Gulf coast, and fired a broadside at the laborers; but, fortunately, nobody was hurt. Nashville Oct. 5.—A correspondent of the J r I Nashville “ Union A American," writing from ( Cumberland Ford, Sept. 30th, says that Gen. j Zollicofl'er broke up the enemy’s encampment < at Laurel bridge, in Laurel county, 38 miles * distant from the ford, capturing throe prison- j ers and a lot of baggage, arms and ammuni tion. The enemy fled. He also broke up an encampment at Goose Creek Salt Works, in Clay county, capturing .’OO barrels ofsa.lt. Bowling Green, Ky., Oct. s.—The Louisville ( Journal, of the Ith, contains the following, dated Washington 2d. Upon charges made by ' . i Col. Blair, Major General Fremont has been ordered to report himself for trial by Court ■ Martial. Gen. Wool, ol Fortress Monroe, has Deen ordered t<> supercede Gen. Fremont to the command of the West, and Gen. Mansfield has , left for Fortress Monroe to supercede General Wool. Gen. Wool has left the 6>r(ress and is on his way Westward. " The rebels hereabouts are now acting on the ( defensive, fearing an assault from some quar ter where they are most assailable. Affairs along the Potomac are very quiet. The rebels have a number of masked batteries at all the principal points. At Potomac creek llmer- | chant vessels were fired upon by the rebel ' batteries, but the shots all fell short. Washington, Oct. 3.—W001, who was super ceded by Gen. Mansfield, has been assigned to no other duty. < Jki terson City, Oct. 3.—1,800 rebels parted 1 from the main body for Georgetown who in tend to make demonstrations in vast numbers upon Georgetown, Jefferson City end St. Louia, and feel confi lent in their ability to take them. The report of the removal of Fremont crea ted intense indignation among the Union men, but great rejoicing among the secessionists. i. ... i , n - - . . . ■ WA R !
