SSaS- This number of the REPORTER has been delayed by the non-arrival of printing materials, necessary for its enlargement.— We shall also wait next week for the Pres ident's Message After that we shall print every Wednesday morning, regularly, and | endeavor to mail our issue so that there shall IK? punctuality in its reception by our subscribers. PERSONAL. We present this number of the REPORTER to our subscribers enlarged, and we trust, otherwise much improved. To effect this very desirable change, we have procured new presses and type, at a heavy outlay, and at the present advanced rates for all printing materials, at a great pecunary sacrifice. That we have a pride in the appearance and standing of a newspaper with which we have been identified from the time the t first type was set in the office, nearly twen | ty-five years ago, is but natural, and we | have yielded to what seemed to he the gen- J eral demand, and have aga : n assumed the ! entire control of the paper as publisher and editor. i No County in the State has increased i more rapidly in population and wealth than has Bradford during the past few years—at 1 least no agricultural county,while the intel ligence and thrift of her people are pro | verbial. She takes a position in the front ; rank ; whilst her tremendous and reliable Union majority gives her a proud pre-cinin ; ence amongst her sister counties. Deeply impressed with the wants of the ; people of this County, and profoundly sen sible of the requirements of the Republi can party, we once more assume the diffi cult and responsible duties of the editorial chair, appealing with the utmost confidence ! for the support and encouragement of the | friends of Freedom throughout the County. We are certain that it is not required that i AVC should set forth the principles which shall ! govern us, as the past is a sufficient guar ! autee for the future. The subscription price of the paper will ! hereafter he $2 payable in advance. With ! the increased size of the paper, and the high price of everything used in printing it, it is not necessary to say to any intelli gent and liberal man that the price is yet too low. The experience of many years has satis ! tied us that no paper can thrive in the | country, which is not conducted upon the plan of advance payment*. We have tried it, thoroughly, and can speak from sad ex | perience. We shall, consequently make | the rule imperative, serving friend or foe alike. We shall send this number of the REPORTER to all upon the subscription books, but the next only to those who ha\-e paid in advance. We have added largely to our facilities ' for Jot) Printing. Probably no establish ment in the country is better prepared for the execution of work than ours. All work will be promptly and neatly done, at living rates. HQf The Chicago Convention, it will be remembered, did not adjourn sine die , as such bodies usually do, but it stood adjourn ed to meet again at the call of the President. We call the attention of the distinguished ! delegates from this District, to the fact that the Convention needs adjourning. The country will not rest securely until it is done. The apprehensions of some overt act, some dire calamity, some impending danger will only be allayed, by the re-as sembling of the members of that august ' body and its dissolution. In tear of a want of attention to our wishes on the subject mark what BEN WOOD desires. He says ; •• We hUgfjest to the Executive Committee of the National Democratic Convention the propriety of calling that body together, and giving it the oppor tunity to adjourn sine ilk. The Convention, by its own resolution, is gifted with a kind of t/'nts! im mortality dependent upon the volition of its Ex ecutive Committee. The gentlemen of the Conven tion are naturally uneasy under this doom of eter nal organization. After demolishing their platform it is the refinement of cruelty to compel them to dwell forever amid its ruins. We hope that Mr. Belmont will disembody this trouble spirit, and bid it God speed across tlie political Styx." NEWS KROM FURORE. —The steamer Asia from Liverpool Nov. 12, via Queenstown Nov. 13, arrived at Halifax on Saturday, bringing two days later news from Europe. The report that the steamer Laurel, from Liverpool, has transferred a crew to a large Rebel privateer named the Sea King, of Maderia, is confirmed. Captain Semmes ex plained to the men what they were expec ted to do in the rebel service. Out of about one hundred men, thirty-six declined. The English Home Secretary lias refused to reprieve Muller, and he waste be executed on Nov. 14. The official correspondence letween the American Consul at Baliia and the President of the Province is published. It is reported , that Brazil has broken off friendly communi cation with the United States, and that En gland has called upon the great Powers to protest collectively against the seizure of the Florida. Garibaldi, who had falsply been repre sented as having uttered pro-Southern views, has written another letter, expressive of his sympathy with our cause. Both Rouses of the Danish Rigsraad have now adopted the treaty of peace, and the ! King would sign it on the 12th of Novem ber. New insurrectionary movements are re ported from Venctia, and troops were sent , in pursuit of the armed hands. ,ate dates from Newborn bring an account of a severe fire in that city, by which twenty or more valuable buildings were destroyed. |The pirate Florida has gone to the bytt,Qin. She >vas .accidently run into the other day by an army uaugport, and sunk 80uu afterward. PKAC'K PROPOSITIONS. Rumors are prevalent that President, LINCOLN is about to offer terms of peace to the Rebellious States. It is even asserted that Commissioners are to be sent to Rich mond to tender the olive branch to JEFF DAVIS. That all these rumors are without foundation, we have no doubt. They may have their origin from speculations caused by Gen. BUTLER'S late speech, or from sur mises in regard to the language of the forthcoming Annual Message of President LINCOLN. It is not worth while for any one to have any anxiety for fear the Rebels are to be asked te come back into the Union, —" unanointed, unannealetl, With all their imperfections on their heads," nor that JEEP DAVIS is to be invited t> ac cept the hospitalities of the White House at Washington, and advise with the present occupaut as to the best method of restor ing the Union. We have every confidence that President LINCOLN will continue to manifest the same prudence, the same exalted statesmanship he has already shown, in all the movements he may inaugurate looking to a termination of the Rebellion, and a restoration or re construction of the Union. The country has just decided by an overwhelming ma jority in favor of the policy pursued in the past, by the Administration—and it would be a poor time indeed for President LIN COLN to take; a step backward, when the people are demanding and expecting: pro gress. We have no fears of any such ca lamitv. The country unquestionably desires peace. A nation of grateful hearts would hail with thankfulness the day Avhen war should cease. But as desirable as peace may he, there are evils which arc far more b> be dreaded, than even this cruel Avar, which has deluged the country Avitli blood, and made so many homes desolate. When peace comes, let it be a peace Avhich shall ensure the future tranquility and prosperi ty of the country. Let it not lie a hollow insincere truce, which in a feAv years shall be broken, to re-enact the dreadful scenes of the past four years. The blood and treasure of the country IIHA'C not been whol ly spent in vain, if AVC shall emerge from the present trials purified from our great national siris, a nation of freemen, with every relic of barbarism wiped away, and fitted by common institutions, and common interests for the glorious destiny and the proud pre-eminence which would then await us. In our judgment, the great peril of the country is past. It was this : That the nation should weary of war, and bloodshed, and privation, and rather than bear with the great burdens placed upon us, be ready to submit to an untimely peace. In this weariness of the people, unused to na tional burdens, lay the great hope of the •Secessionists and their Northern sympathi zers. Thank God ! the danger is averted by the re-election of AISUAIIAM LINCOLN*. At the polls the voice of the people has spoken its demand for a restored,reconstruct ed Union. The testimony is that 110 sacrifice iss too great, no burdens too onerous, which wipes out the disgrace of human slavery, and gives us a homogenous nation, identi fied in all its interests and purposes. IVace with Slavery, is a delusion and a snare. No permanent peace can be made which leaves in the hands of the Rebel leaders the same powerful influence which they have used to such an unholy purpose. It is only by depriving them of that great social and political power, that we can hope for an enduring peace. The power is to be taken from the hands of the aristoc racy of the South and guided by the work ing men. The progress of our army is surely doing this good work. Every foot step they take breaks down the domination of the proud, insolent, slaveocracy. The shackles of the bondmen fall, and the non slaveholders become the prominent class, partly by the absence of the slaveholders, who have been the chief conspirators in the Rebellion. The laboring class are not slow to recognize the fact of their emanci pation from the political power of their late lords ; as witness .Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee and Louisiana. In these states the non-slaveholders have assumed the control, and as far as practical have pro vided for the early emancipation of the blacks. They know too well the social and political tyranny which ground them in the dust. In this glorious work, they have been joined by many of the slave-owning class, who have the sense to see the fate ef the institution, and who submit grace fully, and many gladly, t<r inevitable des tiny. •Shall any peace be made which restores the ancient order of things'! Which re establishes Slavery, and reinstates the oli garchy that believes Capital should own Labor ? Shall the Union men who have helped regenerate the states lately darken ed by Slavery be again placed under the dominion of the Rebel leaders? In all our desires for Peace, let us not forget those Southern patriots who have suffered perse cution for the sake of the Old Flag. When peace comes it should bring them ample security. It should guarantee the posses sion of the status which they gained by so many privations. It would be cowardice and treachery, which should surrender the Union men of the South to the tender mer cies of the wretches who have been for four years arrayed against the Union, per petrating atrocities unparalleled in the his tory of war. No ! sooner let this war be come one of extermination, in which every Union m;)n, if necessary, should be called upon to take pari We have no doubt, that all propositions of peace which may emanate from Presi dent LINCOLN, will be directed to the class of which we have spoken, which has been elevated by the war from the control of the •Slave-holders. It would be worse than use less to offer terms to the Rebel leaders. It would only be an indication of vasodilation and weakness, which would serve to in spirit them—and would be contemptuously rejected and spurned. The leaders know j too well, that Slavery is doomed if the Union is restored—no matter upon what , terms. They know that in the establish [ ment of a Southern Confederacy lies all . their hope of again becoming leaders, and . of enjoying the privileges of class. They ; will struggle to the last, to effect the un - holy purpose they have undertaken, and [ when unsuccessful, will " leave their coun try for their country's good." THE IRREPRESSIBLE NEGRO. t We are sorry to say that the "nigger . ijuestion" is not yet settled. We had sup posed it was pretty well got rid of. For some years it has been agitating the coun try. It has been settled and settled again, - but all to no purpose. Like the ghost of • the murdered Banquo, it would pop up, at t unseemly times and in improper places, a - dread specter, frightening the timid from their propriety, and sometimes even awing t the brave. But here in the North, the dire • spirit had been exarcised, and finally laid. i The last phase was the question of arming i the blacks, and " will the nigger light." The i latter having been decided affirmatively, and the former policy settled, there was no Democrat too proud to hire a nigger substi tute to represent him in the Union armies. Then it having been agreed upon that the advance of our victorious armies wiped out Slavery, and that the institution was doomed, there seemed to be a fair prospect of a final settlement of the " nigger ques tion." Fndcr the benign rule of our amiable Southern brethren, the discussion of the nigger question was forbidden. It was, and is to this day, one of the chief causes of'complaint against the North, that they permitted it. Now, alas ! we observe that it is distracting and dividing the- Southern Confederacy. In the desperation of their failing cause, some herterodox, abolition, unbeliever, has dared to propose the plac ing- of arms in the hands of the Slaves. It has become a great and serious question. JKFK. DAVIS, in his message touches lightly upon it. He doesn't exactly reccommend the measure, 1 ut he approaches as nearly to it, as his extreme Southern views will permit him. He unquestionably sees the necessity for the help of the slaves, but don't like to trust them. He proposes, how ever, the employment of an increased num ber in various departments of the army.— And to ensure their fidelity, what do you suppose the great arch conspirator—the President of a Confederacy founded upon Slavei y as its corner stone —offers as a re ward for their faithfullness ? Why, noth ing more nor less, than Freedom. These Slaves, if true to the confederacy, are to he promised their freedom, after a certain length of service. A poor reward, if slave holding logic and theory be correct. They are to he deprived of the kindest, most amiable and considerate of masters, and thrown upon the cold charities of the con federate world ! They are to be removed from all the blessings which cluster so thickly around the institution of Slavery, and doomed to the miseries of dependent freedom. The Richmond papers bitterly assail this position of Davis' message. It gives the lie at once to all the allegation of the slave holders. It is an admission of the false ness of the claim they set up that the Slave is more contented in his state of bond age,and happier when wearing tlie'shackles. It is a confession of the weakness and in- iquity of the institution. Meanwhile the " nigger question" is dis cussed throughout the South. In Congress the debate is personal and violent, the press becomes intemperate, and members of Congress indulge in fisticuff's. It is a confession of the desperate condition of the Confederacy, and shows that they have lost all confidence in the sueces of their soberness. Fes?" A Washington dispatch says : " A statement appeared in one or more of to day's papers, erroneously attributed to the Washington Agent and reported for the Associated Press, that Commander COI.UX.s has been ordered to return to Bahia, Brazil, with his quasi-prize, her officers and crew, and purporting to give the result of the action of the Government upon that sub ject, with other assumed facts in the same connection. No such telegram originated with the Agent and Reporter of the Asso ciated Press. But there is the best author ity for stating that all statements to the effect that differences of opinion have arisen in the Cabinet concerning the ease of the pirate Florida, or that a decision has been made for or against her restitution, are without foundation, No action of the Gov ernment has been taken in the case, and 110 discussion of it has been held, and the Navy Department authorizes the following statement : The original order for the Wachusctt upon her arrival at llumptou Roads, was to proceed to Boston for re pairs, taking with her the prisoners cap tured on the Florida, to he consigned to Fort Warren. Before the order reached the vessel the pr'soners had been sent to Point Lookout, and in a few days were transferred by the army authorities to the Old Capitol. They were immediately ord ered hack to Point Lookout, to be returned to the Wachusctt, which "at once sailed fer Boston, arriving there on Friday last. The prisoners are, doubtless, ere this in Fort Warren" A dispatch from Boston states that they have been received in Fort Warren, ATTKMITEU INCEXUARISM.—On Friday night last, an apparently concerted attempt was made to burn the principal hotels of New N ork ' ity. Early in tse evening fire was discovered in the St James Hotel, and the alarm was speedily followed by similar dis coveries in several other principal hotels, and at Bnrnnm's Mnseum. The attempt to communicate fire was in each ease by means of phosphorus and turpentine, placed in the bedding of the rooms. This diabolical attempt is supposed to have been made by the rebel emissaries in the city. Stringent measures been adopted to prevent the recurrence of a like attempt. LATEST WAR NEWS. SHERMAN MOVING AGAINST MACON AND AUGUSTA. [From the Itichrnond Despatch. Nov. 21.] From Sherman's army wo have the intell igence that it is moving in two columns — as the report says, one upon Augusta and the other upon Macon It is not likely that lie is about to separate his columns lor any length of time ; and his line of march will probably be as follows: The column marching on the Georgia state road for Augusta will go as far as Madison, sixty miles, and there turning to the right, march on Milledgeville, the capi tal of Georgia. The column marching to Macon will probably go to Crawford's, within fifteen miles of the town, and there turn off to Milledgeville, and form a juuc t:on with the other body. By this move ment Macon falls, and the enemy are at lib erty to move on Augusta by following the Georgia Central Railroad to Brinsonville, and then marching north, or on Savannah, by following the railroad to its terminus there. We shall soon hear of their cavalry around Macon, and very near, possibly, to Augusta. Sherman is moving rapidly, and is not much troubled with transportation. He has burned several stations at the de pots he has passed, and is devastating the country generally in foraging. SIEIIMAN'S ORDERS FOR THE MARCH. HEADQUARTER!) ) MILITARY DIV. OF THE MISSIS.OIMI, IK THE FIELD, KINGSTON, Ga., Nov a, isiit. ) I. For the purpose of military operations this army is divided into two wings, viz : The right wing, Major General 0. 0. How ard commanding the Fifteenth and Seven teenth Corps ; the left wing, Major General H. W. Slocum commanding the Fourteenth and Twentieth Corps. 11. The habitual order of march will be, whenever practicable, by four roads, as nearly parallel as possible, and converging at points hereafter to be indicated in or ders. The cavalry, Brigadier General Kil- Patrick commanding, will receive special orders front the Commander-in-Chief. 111. There will be no general trains of supplies, but eaehJeoiqWwill have its ammu nition and provision train, distributed hab itually as follows : Behind each regiment should follow one wagon and one ambu lance ; behind each brigade should follow a due proportion of ammunition wagons, pro vision wagons and ambulances. In case of danger, each army corps should change this order of march by having his advance and rear brigade unincumbered by wheels the separate columns will start habitually at seven v. .v., and make about fifteen miles per day, unless otherwise fixed in orders. IV. The army will forage liberally on the country during the march. To this end, each brigade commander will organize a good and sufficient foraging party, under the command of one or more discreet offi cers, who will gather near the route trav elled, corn or forage of any kind, meat of any kind, vegetables, corn-meal, or what ever is needed by the command ; aiming at all times to keep in the wagon trains at least ten days provisions for the command and three days forage. Soldiers must not enter the dwellings of the inhabitants, or conim t any trespass ; during the halt or a camp they may be permitted to gather tur nips, potatoes and other vegetables, and drive in stock in front of their camps. To regular foraging parties must be entrusted the gathering of provisions and forage at any distance form the road travelled. V. To army corps commanders is entrus ted the power to destroy mills, houses, cot ton gins, etc., and for them this general principle is laid down : In districts and neighborhoods where the army is unmoles ted, 110 destruction of such property should be permitted ; but should guerillas or bush whackers molest our march, or should the inhabitants burn bridges, obstruct roads or otherwise manifest local hostility, then army corps commanders should order and enforce a devastation more or less relentless, accord ing to the measure of such hostility. VI. As for horses, mules, wagons, Ac., belonging to the inhabitants, the cavalry and artillery may appropriate freely and without limit : discriminating, however, be tween the rich, who are usually hostile, and the poor or industrious, usually neutral or friendly. Foraging parties may also take mules or horses to replace the jaded animals of their trains, or to serve as pack mules for the regiments or brigades. In all foraging, of whatever kind, the parties engaged will refrain from abusive or threatening lan guage, and may, when the officer in com mand thinks proper, give written certificates of the facts, but no receipts ; and they will endeavor to leave with each family a rea sonable portion for their maintenance. VII. Negroes who ;iro able-bodied and can be of service to the several columns may be taken along ; but each army corps commander will bear in mind that the ques tion of supplies is a very important one, and his first duty is to sec to those who bear arms. VIII. The organization at once ola good pioneer battalion for each corps, composed, it possible of negroes, should be attended to. This battalion should follow the ad vance guard, should repair roads and double them if possible, so that the columns will not be delayed after reaching bad places. Also, army commanders should study the habit of giving the artillery and wagons the road, and marching their troops on one side ; and also to instruct their troops to assist wagons at steep hills or bad cross ings of streams. IX. Captain O. M. Poo, chief engineer, will assign to each wing of the army a pon toon train, fully equipped and organized, and the commanders will see to its being properly protected at all times. By order of Maj. Hen. W. T. SHERMAN. L. M. DAYTON, Aid-de-eamp. CURIOUS RUMOR IN WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Monday, Nov, '2B, 18(14. It is affirmed that the secesh here are in possession of most important news from Sherman, to the clteet that his cavalry had reached and surrounded Millenand held the place until his infantry advance had come np, and released about two-thirds of all our prisoners who had been confined there. The remainder had been removed further south before Sherman's arrival. Whatever truth there may be in this statement, one thing is certain, the secesh here never before wore such long faces. GEN, THOMAS REPORTED AT EE VNK\ ' LIN, TENN. LOUISVILLE, KY., Monday, Nov. '2S, 1804. Cencral Thomas is reported to have re treated to Franklin, Tennessee. The military authorities here say that if the report is correct, General Thomas must he preparing to receive the large reinforce ments now on their way to him, before giv ing battle to Hood, and that he has fallen back for no other purpose. JIOOD REPULSED BY THOMAS. NASHVILLE, NOV. 2t). 1804. Nothing has been heard from Hood's army on our front since yesterday evening, the telegraph wires being down. Hood made an assault on our works at ('olnmliia, south of Dutch Kivor, on Satur day, and was badly repulsed. A siriall portion of the relic! cavalry has succeeded in crossing Duck Diver. Hood has made other devclopenients of his plans, hut thus far he has accomplished nothing further than conscripting some of his " dear friends." There is no foundation for the rumor of the evacuation of Johnsonvilie, except a proper preparation for possible contingen cies. The military situation is satisfactory to the authorities The impression gains ground that Hood will move east across the Chattanooga, possibly with the hope of accomplishing something by co-operating with Hreckin riTlge. I-'DOM (!RANT'S ARMY. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 18(54. The rebelcx-Ceiieral Roger A. I'ryor, now a private soldier in tin - Confederate army, was eaptnred on Friday last by the Fifth corps pickets of tin; Army of the Potomac, while attempting to exchange papers with our pickets. This was done in retaliation for the recent capture of Captain I'urbridge by the rebel pickets under similar circum stances. I'ryor says that Ceneral Lee issued an order for the return of Captain Burbridge on Saturday, and he himself will probably be returned as soon as Captain Burbridge is sent back. Since the capture of I'ryor, Captain Bur bridge has been dismissed the army for dis obeying the order forbidding the (exchange of papers or holding intercourse with the enemy under any pretext whatever. I'ryor has been brought to Washington committed to the Old Capitol prison. The information from the Army of the Potomac is up to Sunday evening, it states that the usual amount of pricket firing was heard along the front, but beyond that all was quiet. In Ceneral Butler's department the picket firing was heavier than usual on Sunday, and then- was also considerable cannonad ing. KKBEL Ai'PKAL FOR MORK MLN. UAI.TIMOKK, Friday, Nov. 25, 18G4.

SHEHMAX.—Telegraphic despatches show how SHERMAN" and his veterans "go inarch ing on." Spreading out their columns, they sweep through the heart of Georgia, carrying all before them, capturing a part of the Georgia Legislature, and sending dismay throughout the entire region. At the last rebel accounts, the army was close ly approaching the city of Macon, (103 miles front Atlanta) and there appeared to be no hope of presenting any effectual re sistance to his advance. Since then the Richmond papers profess to have informa tion not to be communicated to the public. We can easily imagine its tenor. It can be nothing gratifying to the rebels, or else we may be sure that it would be trumpeted abroad without the least hesitation or re striction. It is more than probable that SHERMAN'S capture of Macon was known at Richmond at the date of the despatches. At any rate, his route begins to be cleared up, and his success tints far established.
