You can use INSERT...SELECT syntax. Note that you can quote '1' directly in the SELECT part.

INSERT INTO mt_magazine_subscription ( 
      magazine_subscription_id, 
      subscription_name, 
      magazine_id, 
      status ) 
SELECT magazine_subscription_id, 
       subscription_name, 
       magazine_id, 
       '1'
FROM tbl_magazine_subscription
ORDER BY magazine_subscription_id ASC
