We regret to learn that Willis T. Gregory, I Benj. C. Perry, and Samuel Blackmon, memjk hers of the '"Lancaster Invincible.*," 2d Kegi! inent of S. C. V., recently died in Virginia.? These brave incn survived the great battle of the 21?t July, ill which they bore so gallant a A part, to die by the hand of disease ; but their I friends have the consolation of knowing that I they fell at the post of duty and honor. Letters for the "Lancaster Greys" will be directed to the person for whom intended thus : Mr. Lancaster Greys, Com p. A. Oth Rcg't. S. C. Vol. under Col. lilanding, care of Capt. J, D. Wylic, 3d ltrigade, Manassas Junction, Virginia. What Lancaster has Done Capt. McManus, the Roll of whose Company we published last week, left with his command for the Camp at Lightwood Knot Springs on Friday last. Capt. Ramos and Copt, iiinaon will go down next week. Lancaster will then k ' have five Companies (near bOO men) in the S Confederate Service?two for "twelve months" f * and three "for tho War." Our voting popula* i lion' is about UK)e. If any District in the Stato [ has done better than this, we nrc not aware a of it. t Increase of our Forces. \ I Tin* (?iuifpili>ruli> has missed all Act f i o r 7 in*kiiig lutther provision for tlu* public defence, in which the President isaudtot izud to call lor, at his discretion, volunteers to the extent of four hundred thou*atid. This number, if called into the field, will swell our forces to about fc six bundled thousand men?enough to defend our soil uguinsl the utmost that the North can do. This addition is more, by fifty thousand, than the number recommended by the Secretary of war, and with the troops now in the field, will pet haps exceed to a Mutll extent, ten per cent of our white population. Come to the Rescue. jit was arranged 011 Monday lust by the citizens assembled he: e, that a District meeting be called at the Court House on Saturday next for the purpose of raising means to equip the threo Companies of Volunteers recently ihiscd in die District, and for piovidiug n fund for the families of all voluutecis from our District whu I may he in needy circumstances. We hope I every man in die District who can get here will lie pi est nt. L?it tlieie bu no skulking fiom duty. It 1ms been said that all parts o the District have not contributed alike to tlu grout cause in which we arc etubaiked, and that there are men uinong ns of smple means who have done comparatively little. We hop* that there w ill hereafter he no ground for any such icniarks as those, and that every man vril prove his readiness to support the cause to tlu lull extent of Ids ability. As t ol. Humes very justly observed ill tin I t'ourl 1 louse on Monday, those who re L main at home have duties to perform not inucl less important than the duties of those win go to defend the country on the field, (.el eve iv citixen come up on Satin day, intent upoi doing what t'.ie exigencies of the times so iiil perilivelv demand of him. * A Fund for District Purposes.StVeial additional companies from litis DU trict art* preparing to outer lite Confederal net vice. The expense of titling out llteao com panics, ami providing for the destitute laiuilie <>l volunteers that may be left behind, pronerl devolve* upon lite District. It is time that ou people were taking some s'ep* to provide fund for these purpose*. We hope no ma who lias not volunteered in the cause will lid a itatc to render some assistance to thosu wh have, and to their fainilie*, abould any be le! in needy circumstances. The man who lt? any mean* at all, and w ill neither volunteer o pay anything in support of the cause, does nc deserve the protection of his Government, c to partici|Mtlc in the rights and privileges whic that Government is now struggling to sccur for us. II there are any such among us, were better lor the cause that they occupie some locality more congenial to their feeling than the chivalric Palmetto Slate. We hpve no plan to propose by which a Di trict fund for the put poses indicated may I * 'raised ; we merely wish to bring the subject 1 the minds of our people. A correspondent h (suggested through tho ledger, that every mi psy to n regular disbursing Board, appoint* for the purpose, a turn e<|ual 10 W) per oent Jiie last year's General Tax. Thin would I fair?would be equitable, and would, if carri out, answer the end in view, and we would n hesitate to urge iu adoption, were not the ghc of tho failure of the 12 ! * per cent propositi* present to our minds. We beard that an em fa objected to the plan front principle. W hetfa those who made the olfaction deutonatraU through any other system, that they were w Hag to give something to the cause, we do n know. Unless they did, it would not be ea .<o appreciate the objection. . It b incumbent upoo the Diatrict aa a who ; and not upon a law individuals, to attend .this matter Numbers, no doubt, have volt leered with the belief that there is suttcii patriotism left behind to secure their iamil from want. Shall they be disappointed ? We hope the Board ol Cornmisaione of Po at their unit annua) Session, if the war lasts i long, wiU place this quastioti beyond the at \ tingencica which now surround It, by levyl >an assessment sufficient to aover Uia large ad tionsl want of the )poor, occasioned by I heads of families volunteering for the war. When a matter ol this kind ia left to vol tary contribution, it ia almost invariably I case that a few liberal minded persons b< I tilt brunt at the burden to bear.

At the same time I hat we would commend the liberality of some, we would yet call upon them to give still more liberally, and upon those who have not contributed so fully to withhold not their hands in this their hour .' of need. Not he alone who lights for Ids country is called a patriot, but every one . who contributes ot his substance to the overllirovv of the enemy, and to tliecomfort and support of those who tight our battles 1 We earnestly entreat you then to give free ly, give liberally, give as long as you have | a dollar to spare, remembering vliul you are giving to your own fathers, brothers, and husbands, and riot to those who have no claims upon >011.

CONSTANCB. [loR TIIK LANCASTER I.EOOKR.] Commissions of Executors Mr. Bull ok : Under the Act of liie Gone r.d Assembly A. D. 1789, Bxecutors are en | li It'll in rt-luin "a suin noi exceeding wit; sou of (if y shilling* for every 100 pounds,whict j they shall receive, nnd the sum of fifty shil 1 lings for every one hundred pound*, whicl they ahull puy away, tie., &c., nnd ho ir proportion lor any ?oui or sums Ichh thni one hundred pounds." The practice has very generally prevailed in the netlletiient of cstutes. by Executor| and Administrators, to charge live per cent J of the whole amount of the Estates, an( distribute the remainder. This rule has 1 not been strictly conf<?riiiable to the law ; and we have heard of a nearer npproxiiua | tion to justice, by first deducting two uti( ! one half per cent, from the gross receipts and atterwurds deducting two and one hall : per cent of the remainder for the coinmis j aions o>. the payments This, however, h not alriclly correct, for the Executors o j Administrators thereby receive their com ! missions on a sum really larger than tin amount of their payments. ; In the settlement of the Estate of tin tn late William McKenna, which exceedei the gross sum of 9200,000, it was sugges ted by one of the Executors, that injurtici would be done by either of the usua modes. The correct rule was applied, and 1 now published, as we are not aware of it having ever been before adopted. Afte deducting the commissions on the receipt ! the remainder should be divided into tw by auuis ; one of which should be two an< er one half per cent, on the other. The 'ea hiiiii is the amount ol' the commissions o "* payments ; and the greater, ia the sum t ,ct be paid to debtors, legatees snd distribu *d tees TO solve this problem the gross rt ceipts should be divided by forty ; and th lie 1 quotient is the commissions on the reoeipb lo or two and one-half per cent, thereof. A! ,t)i ter deducting the commissions, the remair >p- der should be divided by forty-one ; an ihe the quotient deducted therefrom. This lai er- remainder will be the sum to be paid ; an ng the quotient will be one fortieth part then er* of. or two and one half per cent <>f the sui rc" to be paid. The aggregate of the com mi aiona on tho reccipn and payment* wilt I the entire commission* to w hich the K\e? M I utora or Administrators are entitled by lai ! To illuetrate thia by an example ; au| poae the eatate should be 9200,000. , five per cent, be retained the residue wi 7" j ke f I IK),o?0. ?
