that the War Department will hereafter ill
SiSt that drafted men, when procuring sub
stitutes, shall obtain the consent of the sub
stitutes to join. the old regiments. This is
the method adopted by the Uep•irtment to
bridge the difficulty of filling up the old re•

compelled to enter ; the old regiments, to re
main for nine months. With this understand
the Goerernment will prefer substitutes
to the original drafted men.
WISCONSIN' —IL is refreshing, in these
times of change, to find Wisconsin, like To

by the Government and the Administration.
Notwithstanding the most desperate efforts
of the Opposition, the Legislature is largely
Republican, and a Senator representing the
law loving, liberty-loving, and Union-loving
people of that State will lie again elected to

nitt'An officer in one of the Rhode Island
batteries Vile at Fite Jelin Porter's head
quarters on Wednesday week, remarked,
"after this we may as well give up, and ac
knowledge the independence of the rebels."
Half an hour later he was surprised by a
summons to Burnside's headquarters Ile
admitted he made the remark, but stated that
be did so under excitement, and said mere
titan he meant. "You have DOW an opportu
nity Lo retract it," said Burnside; "but if I
were not personally acquainted with 3 our

been instantly dismissed. licitho you nor
any other officer, high or low, con utter such
sentiments and remain in the army." The
offender made a full retl'action and apology.

result of the election in that State, as follows:
" William Cannon—Union--has been elected
Governor by 111 majority; Witlimn Temple,
Bayardite has boon elected to Congress by 07
majority. In New Castle county every Union
candidate is elected by majorities ranging
from 624 to 600. In lieut and Sussex coun
ties every Bayarditc is elected. The Legisla
titre will stand 'as follows: Senate—four
Union to five Bayorditos ; House—SCVAI Un

ceder-will consequently be returned 'to the U.
S. Senate. It is certain that the fraudulent
votes east, more than equal Temple's majori

THE ENGLISH PARTY.
The London TimeS advises us,'in the last
issue - received here, - that — the Deraocratie
party, in its attempts to get control of the
country again, has all its sympathies. It
expressos an earnest desire for the success
of tl:st party, and declares its belief that the
policy it would inaugurate is the only ono on
which the (Adis of this country can be set
tied. The Philadelphia North Allicrioan, iu
commenting on this fact, remarks We all
know what the favorite policy of the Times
is in American affairs. It favors and sup.
ports the rcpellion, and hopes to see the
country divided. And not only does it hope
for such division as will' set up the Confed
erate States in a new government, but also
for one or two more divisions, separating the
Northwestern States and the Pacific States
from the Northern part of the old Uttioa.—
Its attempts to effect these divisions, and to
thoroughly humiliate, if not to conquer us,
have been prosecuted with a degree of ma
lignity and a profusion of falsehood such as
no other journal in the world ever employed
in any cause, and the consequence is that its
name bas become significant of as much
that is odious almost as the rebellion itself.
Such is the London Mime, which now ex
presses its syMpathylwith the successes of
the democratic party in our elections. Are
the masses of that p trty aware of the asso.
ciation into which they have fallen ? Does
the praise of the Richmond papers, and the
seeessimi sympathizing sheets of England
come gratefully to their ears? It is time
they looked about them to see what guilt of
theirs had brought such praise on them No.
patriot, no man of sense even, call mistake
the slgnilicance of being wished well by the
Londin Times while this war is pending.
There was a tirade of some importance,
pronounced against the United States by
Lord Brougham, in Jund last, which is worth
mentioning in this connection. lie said, in
an address before the Social Science Asso
ciation, of which lie is President, that, "in
all ages the tendency of democratic rule has
been to promote war i while aristocratic
States, Iron Sparta downward, have been
fond of peace," denounced what we call
the free institutions and democratic princi

They are the a,zents, or tools rather, through

THE liut N re S'l% IN:Mt:UM : —A large number
of soldiers during the ptIAL 8111111110 r, have de
serted their regiments in the field, and re
turned home either on forged passes or fur
alleged .disability. After a brief sojourn
:natty of these have entered the new regi
tnentS fur the purpose of obtaining the large
bounties offered by Stales and Counties.—
These men we learn are to be severely dealt
with. Another class who have received
bounties and then deserted also, will be pun
ished to the extent of the law. It is said, on
ifigh authority, that the President, on being
recently shown by the Secretary of War and
Ueneral in Chief, the immense list of deser
ters and roll•calls of absentees, sternly
pledged loni-elf hereafter to pursue the most
rigorous policy with these offenders, and that
by executions, disrnissels, ball-and. chain la•
bur for the whole term of their enlistment,
and other of the severest penalties, he is re
solved to deprive the rebels of the great ad
vantage,they have heretofore enjoyed over ua
its the means necessary to preserve discipline,
and pre.vent the crimes of straggling, absen
teeisms and desertions. In view or these
facts, the hope is expressed that the public
will constitue itself a great mural police, to
expose and shame back to duty all officers
and men elm cannot prove incontestibly that
they have the authority required by army or
ders and regulations for their absence from

The Newspaper BusirteSEi.
We have loud complaints from every guar,.
ter of the...country of the increased cost of
making newspapers. • Printing paper of all
kinds has risen fifty per oeut. within the last
three months, while the tsx on:paper, ink,
advertisements and everything else mini:Meted
with thp business, still further aggravittos the
difficulty. The rise ou paper, moreover, is
still going on, and as it is due to the lack of
cotton, it is not easy to say when it will stop.
Under these oireumstan;ies publishers all over
the country aro raising the price of their pa
pers, or raising their ()burgs for advertising,
or both, in order to meet tlris increased cost
of production.
The New York Times says, " in this city,
where the eirculatjen of daily papers is touch
larger than elsewhere, the pressure is felt
with corresponding severity. The expenses
of new•papers in every department had been
already greatly enhanced by the war."
And now in addition to that increase,cornes
the increased cost of paper, the war taxes,
&c., adding very materially to the expense of
publishing a newspaper.
" What, effeot," observes the same paper,
"this will have upon tho business remains io
be seen. In this City the daily newspapers
have always been furnished below cost—the
difference being made up front the proceeds
of advertisements. Probably the publishers
will prefer to meet the present emergency, so
far as any change lel necessary, by increasing
their rates of advertising rather than depart
ing froth. what has come to bo the standard
price of their sheets—two cents each. This
throws, perhaps, upon the advertising public
a burden which, in strict justice, newspaper
readers ought to share with them,—but ad
yertisers have so long borne more than their
fair proportion of the expenses 'of publishing
newspapers, that their acquiescence in any
new pressure upon them scents to be taken
for granted."
" Upon the country press the increase in
the price of paper will be especially budren
some. Their advertising patronage is light,
and, as a general thing, their profits are not
large. They must raise their prices or break
down under the burden."
The price of paper in this city has advanced
enormously within the last few weeks, and
the paper here now no doubt coats more for
.the white paper than is received for the
printed sheet. Should (hese prices continue,
some means to meet the increased the in
creased cost will, no doubt, have to he devised
by newspaper publishers. or they will have to
lose money in keeping up their papers
The publishers (If 1110 Pittsburg newspa
pers have adopted a new !leale of prices tor
advertising. and hope thus to be able to ropet
the increased expense. In some localities the
'price of subcriPlioii lies been raised ; atittis
we before remarked, it' the prices of paper
and alt - orryin—p7iiiiiiiif — m -, ifeThif. , r continue to
advance or retnain 14 present rates, we have
no doubt newspaper publishers throughout
the country will have to resort to one ur the
other of these means to meet the increased
expense.
THE NEXT CONGILLES.—The anticipations of
certain of our so•culled Democratid friends
that. the opposition to the administration in
the Thirty• Eighth Congress would have a ma
jority. will not he realized: On the - 6OnlriiCY
the result is quite the "reverse." In the
senate the timiurif y for the - administration is
overwhelmingly large, thus: Thirty. four ad
ministration or Republic in Senators ; eleven
War Democrats and three opposition. This
majority- is large enough for all practical pur
poses.
In the House of Representatives there will
ben Inure equal division of parties. The
members already eho , en have bees classified
as follows: Administration, 78, Opposition 69,
doubtful 4—the doubtful being one from Wis
cousin and three from Missouri, who are nut
to be depended on for ardent support of the
Administration, though they are in favor of
the war. The States yet to elect are Califor
nia, 3 snembels; Connecticut 4; Kentucky 9;
Maryland ft; Virginia 3; New Hampshire 3;
Vermont 3; and Rhode I,land2—An nil 34
It is tlion , :ht that the members front these
States will be about equally divided between
the Administration and the Opposition. In
ease -elections are held - In 'linnislama - ;" - Nalli
Carolina, Tennessee or other of the seceded
States, the numbers and the classification will
have to be changed. But ono thing is cer
tain; the members chosen front such States
will be loyal Men, pledged to the support of
the Administration. The prospect is, we
think, that the Democrats will be in the min
ority in the Ile,u e, and, in any event, there
are enough loyal war Democrats among the
members already chosen to secure fur the Ad
ministration an efficient support in its melt.
suits against the rebels.
ROIIIIEMES By HOSPITAL lasses AT WASII
INGTON.— Four of the nurses in one of the
Washington Hospitals—three women and one
man—have been arrested for stealing articles
belonging to the g,overument, and also from
dying soldiers. One woman, the first one ills
covered, was detected by carrying off too
large a load one time, and on searching her
house, there were found a great. variety of
hospital stores, including 1 musket, 1 sol
dier's coat, 2 blankets, 119 pieces of hospi
tal clothing of all kindS, such as towels (10
in number) sheets, coverbds, pillow cases,
dressing gowns, &c., a large number of them

4 glasses, 1 china cup, 1 large syringe, and

ogt_The Emancipation triumph in Missouri
is, if anything, more complete than has ;Jeer'
supposed. Of the nine members of Congress
elected, six are Emancipationists, and only
three are Democrats." .In the Legislature
of the Stale it is reported that there is an
emancipation majority of ten. This result is
convincing proof that the people of Missouri
have, enjoyed enough of the blrgthty3 of sin
very, whim' tho r Southern leaders fought so
hard to fasten upon ill° State forty years ago.
The ground they gained in that initial conflict
between bondage and freedom is now wrested
from !Item by its own occupants. Much of
Missouri has always been practically free,
but the counsels of the slaveholding interest
have always prevailed In the management of
her affairs. That interest has thrown itself.
on the side of the rebollionctultr the freemen
who remain true to the good old Hag are do.
formined.to strike for the rights of compen
sate" labor at
,the first opportunity. They
mean' to disc - enrage slavery, and exalt the
labor of freemen. This is "Abolition" of a
praitical kind, and will doubtless be as disk
,greeable to the rebel slaveholders of Missouri
as the fighting "Abolitionists" of the Union
armies era to the apprehensions of the doOghty
General Deauregartl. •

Thou there is a large stock of "five twenties,"
or twenty-year six per cent. bonds, which are
going off at par. The revenue arising from
internal taxes will soon begin to pour in, and
during TEM, it is expected that the income
from this source alone will reach two hundred
millions. Sixty millions will nrise from cus

It has come to that at last, that the nation
cares nothing forlton Dead; or even Sa
va nab or Charleston, alongside of the domi
ttting, insulting fact, that within a paltry
one hu dred and seventy five miles of 'the
Federal Capital, the very chiefs of this tic
cursed rebellion are left in absolute security
to hatch their plots for a further prolongation
of the war.
And if we are told of the difficulties of the
task of taking Richmond, we reply—let the
gun boats, every one available, move up the
James river, and let the civilly, in trfimsports
or on loot, move along within the protecting
sweep of their guns. Let them move their
way onward, no matter how few miles each
day, until they invest Fort Darling, front and
rear, and pile avalanche upon avalanche of
loyal troops as supports after them, until
every soldier to lie had is engaged in the
undertaking, and who could for a moment
doubt the result, with the arny of Burnside
to keep them occupied upon the other line of
the advance ?
The Government must ensue to a policy
approaching this or all confidence in it can
not long sur. ive. Eighteen mouth of sus
pense have lain like is horrible nightmare
upon the heart of the nation, amidst profilist!
after promise that Richmond would be taken
and the Rebel Government broken up; and
yet here we are still, waiting for something
decisive in the wsr of a policy looking to so
desirable a result, amidst new rumors of ex
peffitions to almost circumnavigate ale dis
loyal States on a comparatively fruitless
quest. lset Tarboro' or Weldon, or Galvhs
ton or :ffittatnoras remain as they are ; but
in the name of all that is nation 1 and pat-
riotie and brave, let us have hichmond.
In common with the other loyal men of
the land, we bare done what vie could to in
spire confidence in the ntililnrr find naval
policy of the Government; lot:, lor one, we
have done countenancing tlmmi attempts to
slay the rebellion by attacks ou its estro
mities• Concentrate everything, we again
repeat, for a blow at Me heed, and the whole
nation and the world would at once recognize
the wisdom and boldness of the endeavor;
but attempts to beat around its lair, to avoid
the death grapple wit its chosen stronghold,
will never accomplish anything, and our na

Protection or Traitors
Judge George W. Lane, of Huntsville,
Alabama, one of the Union refugees, writes
to the Secretary of War from Danville,Ay.,
remonstrating against the treatment which
the Union men of the South have received
front our military commanders, and their
mistaken leniency toward •the rebels. lie
says; .
"The guilty are ever the first to appeal to
the law for Loamy. Rebels were the first to
sue Lo Gen. Mitchell for protection. Those
who were Union at heart, did not ask for that
which was their due, and tons all the pro
tecting power was granted to the disloyal."
The policy recommended by Judge bane
is as follows:
" I trust, sir, that the administration, of
which you are so powerful and important an
°Meer has another policy for the future, for
justice demands that another course should
be pursued. Justice demands that the officer
now leading our troops to the romiciipation of
Northern Alabama should annontice before
hand that t lie disloyal are guilty citizens, and
are to be punished as such. The army of
Lien. Ibiseerans goes with power, to push far
into the interior of • Alabama and Georgia,
and it should be preceded by a proclamation
from Gen. Itosecrans or the President, an
nouncing that those guilty of aiding the re
bullion by word ur deed must keep beyond
the lines of the army or be punished. The
oft•bruken oath of allegiance should no longer
be a refuge and protection to theta."
