SATURDAY, NOV. 28,. 1863. ▲ Talk with our Headers. Well, friends, we know we have not supplied you with our paper as regularly as we should have done, during the past fewweoks, and you have had good reason tocomplain thereof. But there are a few extenuating circumstances which, when staled, wijl relieve ns of censure. All are aware of the advance in the price of every thing, about a year since. Printing ma terials, paper, labor etc., advanced propor tionately with other things. Publishers got ova* the difficulty by diminishing the size of their papers, by increasing the price, and by such other expedients as seemeid most Ukely to save them/rom loss. Fifty cents was added to the subscription price of three-fourths ofthe papers'that are in circulation and an advance in the prices .■ of advertising and job work was made. In purchasing paper, a day or two since, we found it again advancing at the rate of nearly 20 per cent per month, with a fair prospect that it will go up still higher. Notwithstanding these facts, all of which tell with great effect on our business, so far as our paper is concerned, we still sup ply the Tribune at the old price, $l5O per annum, and have not increased our rates of advertising. Our paper should sustain itself, if nothing .more. We have not made a close calculation lately, but are inclined to the opinion that if we were to do so we should find that it was an ex pense, rather than a source of income We lave a large jobbing .patronage upon which we rely for our support. On job Work we have advanced proportion ately with the advance on material. This we could not avoid without sacrificing everything. This, then, being our sup port, it claims our first attention, conse quently pur,paper which, as before stated, scarcely pays expenses, must be secondary; and when we have a rtish of job work, such as has been thrown upon us druing the past month, our paper must lay over until the work is finished. If .with tiie increased price of every thing connected with newspaper publish ing, ; we had but prompt 1 payments, we might do<'better. While our receipts are muc|i the same, the disbursements have sweljed enormously. Notwithstanding this business, we do not intend to increase the price of subscription to the Tribune or the rates of advertising therein, hoping that the pressure will soon ease up, and that we shall be able to save our selves in the end. These are our excuses for the irregular appearance of our paper. We hope our founds will bear with us for a time, since wean laboring more for their benefit than: for oar own profit in giving them a paper weekly. Hqrbtrt.it. Accident—A fatal accident occurred at Gettysburg, on Friday, which should prove a warning against the hand ling of dangerous missiles. A gentleman by tiie name of Williams, of Philadelphia, attempted to remove the contents from a . bomb-shell, when it exploded, blowing off both his hands, mid shattering one arm to the shoolder. A portion of the shell also struck a boy who was standing near, killing him almost instantly Physicians amputated the shattered arm of Williams, but he died directly afterwards from the effects thereof. Williams had gone to Get tysburg to take home the body of his son, whp bad been killed in the battle at that place. Through curiosity he also lost, his life, and his remains accompanied those of the son to their late home. cotemporary of the Juniata EegisUr is informed that we do not abuse Democrats, but we are down on spurious articles, such as he. Now, Amos, you need not attempt to get put of that pic ture wP drew of you last week, or drag loyal men down with you, by claiming that you are a Democrat. You are a poor imitation of the genuine, and gal vanize; yourself as you will, you cannot pass for a “Simon pure” article, the “ Gol den Circle” surrounding you containing 4po much alloy.

It will not be! : 1 Wo trust, Oh, God! Thy gracious Tower To aid us in our darkest hour, #be our prayer: “Oh Father! save oplcs Freedom from its grave— All prase to Thee!" The dedicatory remarks Were then delivered by the President as follows: Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon thia| continent a new Nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the propo sition that all men are created equal. [Applause.] Now we are engaged in a great cival war, tasting whether that Nation or iauy Nation so conceived and so dedicated can loiig epdurc. We arc met on a great battle-field of that war. We are met to dedicate a portion of it asitjie final resting place of those .who have gave their lives that their na tion might live. It is vdtogether fitting and proper that we should do this. Hut in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men living and dead who struggled here have conse crated it far above our power to odd or detract.— [Applause.] It is for' us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the refinished work that they have thus so nobly carried; on, [Applause.] It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased; devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last 1 nil measure of de votion ; that we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain [applause J; that the nation shall, nndcr God, have a birth of freedom; and that Governments of the; people, by the peo ple, and for the people,; shall not perish from the earth. From Chattanooga. OnATANcKxiA, Nov. 25.—Wc are completely victorious. The enemy is totally rooted and driven from even' position. Our loss is small, while that of the enemy is heavy in prisoners^ Finding Hooker so successful in his movement against Lookout Mountain, the enemy evacuated that point during the night. Hooker took pos session this morning. The enemy moved south, and got on Missionary Ridge. General Hooker is said lo: have captured not less than two thousand prisoners in his magninfi cent assault of Lookout Miouhtain. General Sherman, being alt prepared, began an assault at eight A. M., to-day, upon the strong po sition of the enemy at the north end of Missionary Ridge. He had the day before taken a hill near the enemy, but commanded by their artillery, he "had to descend into a valley, and then make an other ascent to the possition held Iw the enemy. Two unsuccessful assaults wore mode by Sherman, bnt with the co-operatioti of the centre, lie ulti mately gained the position, and completed the victory. The brigade of General Cary, with a portion of General Lighthew’s brigade, (imposed the storm ing party in the first assault. They were repulsed with quite a heavy loss, after. an attack' persisted in for an hour, but being reinforced, were, enabled to hold a part of the hill. In this attack General .Cary, was wounded quite severely in the thigh. The Twenty-seventh Ohio, Sixth lowa and One-hnndred-and-third Illinois were in the attack. A second assault was made at half-past one, in which Matthias’, Loomis’ and Paul’s brigades were engaged. The force reached within 20 yards of the summit of the liill and the works of the enemv, when they were flanked and broken, retiring to the reserves. In the assault General Mathias was” wounded, and Colonel Putman, of the Twenty third Ohio, killed. " • ■ Their president efforts compelled the enemy to | mass heavily on his right, in order to hold the"po sition of so much importance to him. About three o’clock General Grant started two columns against the weakened centre, and, in an hour’s desperate fighting, succeeded in breaking the centre, and gaining possession of the ridge in which the enemy was posted, i The main force was driven northward toward Sherman, -who opened on them; and they were ’forced to break and seek safely in a disordered flgh t • down the western slope of the ridge and across the the western slope of the Cbiekiimauga. We have taken not less than five thousand prisoners, and perhaps ten thousand. General Hooker will probably: intercept the flying enemy in the vicinity of fiossville, and the reigon of it. There are reports Hint we have taken a whole corps. Among the casualties are Lieutenant-Colonel Espy, of the Sixty-eight Indiana; Major McCaw ley of the-Tenth lowa'; Colonel Omar, Ninetieth Illinois; Major Walker,:Tenth Missouri; Major Welsh, Fifth- Illinois; Major Tunis, Sixt lowa, wounded. h . ; Foil reports of the killed arul wounded cannot jbe obtained, as most of die killed were m .Sher man’s corps, and remained at dark in the bands of the enemy. The list will be telegraphed to morrow. . i. The prisoners say that Bragg, was on the ridge just Before they were taken. , s The successful storming parties consisted of IWbod’s and Baird’s Divisions ion the left centre and Johnson’s and Sheridan's tin the right centre. | Some of oar wounded were loft in the hands of the enemy after General :Sherman’s unsuccessful assault, but were ultimately recovered. I Telegrams since received confirm the above and state that Burnside is entirely secure, Sufficient re-inlorcements are on the way to him to enable him to follow the example of the Army of the Cumber land, while Meade compels Lee to keep all his present force about him if he would cave Richmond. Ihe day seems somewhat longer here on the I Mountains, Oh. lazy lounger of the valleys below! than in the city or elsewhere on the level, except to those connected with the business of tiellowing out “milk, ho!” under curly windows, for there have been certain cabalistic marks made on the slate at the office, opposite certain other marks that stand for K and L, indicating that these ; rooms are to be waked for the sunrise. Accor dingly, Just as Jsontag has fallen into the sweet ' morning slumlier, which is believed to be sweeter because it is rather a sin than otherwise to iudulge , it, and about the time that Blossom may he sup j to be in dreamland, fanned in the rosy clouds j drifting along towards her morning—there comes | a “rap! bang!” at the door, and the voice of an j unmistakable contraband halloes • out: “Four o’clock! snnrise!” Not that he means to indicate that the sun hus really risen because it is four o’clock for the Almanac would contradict his I statement in that particular, but there are oilier ! words, not expressed but understood, which would ■ make the whole sentence, if completed, “ Four : o’clock ! Get up hoys and girls and look alive, or . the sun will fae up and dressed before you!” “Early • to bed and early to rise make |ieopleget up soon in the morning.” Little Blossom, whose shut eyelids have the unwillingness of the llowor to he opened I too soon, struggles herself awake at last, and the twain succeed in making their matutinal debut on the piazza in a few minutes, Sontag in a sad state of a shoekhead, not the ghost of a collar, and slip- I I* 1 ' 3 very much down in the heel. We are here on the piazza, however, and this is enough, and we are here before the sun has made his appearance, and this is the other point of consequence. A cool gray mist lies over the whole landscape, thicken ing into clouds in the north where the view touches the shoulder of the range, and seeming to form "a hank far away to the East like that which some times comes in at nightfall on the seashore and slowly jilts before the sun next morning. Jt is vet half dusk'd! the H udson valley, making the fea tures, of the landsea[ie very dim and indistinct, and even the river seems to he somewhat sullen and glint through the mist with mi expression ot'Winn ing the aim to warm it up eozily. It is not mi cool on the piazza as people tell oi its being wlien thev nseemi the Faulhuni or stand on the I‘higi Cull'd /or the same premature ohservaliun of the God ot day; but it is eool enough to induce a slight shiver running electrically over the hall dozen who have joined us in our eariv devotions,end to make the close drawing of shawls and wrappers a thing desirable. There are only two points of view in the world trom which it is worth an hours broken rest to see the sun rise; to all the rest he eoiues very, unro raantically and matter-of-fact. The one’ is over the sea, from the deck of a ship or the bluff at Long Branch or Newport, and the. other is from the plateau of such a Mountain as that of the Catskill. Mount Washington might be equal to either, but from the bad habit the old monarch has of not withdrawing bis nightcap at the proper hour, and leaving the Visitor to gaze through a blank mass of fog, with only the imagination made aware that there is such a thing as a sun in the universe. When the sullen veil is removed and we can see the sunrise from the snmmit of Wash ington :ah, then ! But that is now no matter of consequence. Catskill is a far better educated mountain, and it seldom plays tricks upon travel lers. As the morning dawns the few absolute clouds are all driven over the peaks from the southwest, and the only heavy mist is climbing up the brows of the range to the north. Eastward we have it clear and glorious. While we have been ruminating, the sunrise has drawn very near, and even- eye is now bent n|jon the changing phe nomena of the eastern sky. What a marvelous gradation of warm lights i’s this! from the circle immediately above the sun, where liquid gold, seems to have been poured through the in such proluseuess as to beggar all the uuriferous lauds—to that one remove more distant, wliere the orange tints are so prevalent that they vie further back to that belt of faint purple, and the sea green and shimmering gold, all blent and mingled so that the eye can scarcely decide which is the pre dominant color. There the sun comes nearer, and Jicnciled rays go blending up through the mass of soft color, growing more and more decided even instant, until the eye feels that the great glory is about to hurst forth und grows absolutely weary with the moment of expectation. Then quick, sharp flashes dart up and scatter themselves like arrows above and on every side, and then—then when the eye is after all least expecting it, there trembles on the very verge of what apjiears to he a fog bank, hut is really the horizon, one flattened drop of molten gold, so unendurahly bright that it seems to sear the sight, and the next instant it has broadened and deepened, and the sun heaves a quarter of its cirele into view, then pauses and nickers a moment and presents half, and nftei a pause of still another pioment shows the whole disc, a shade qialer now, yet brighter and glorious —the giver of the day—the light of the earth. It is folly to say-, as inany do who see this great spec tacle and yet’ sj>eal; of it from imagiatioik instead of observation, that the whole landscaps emtles at once in the sunlight. Many minutes must always elapse before even! the tops of the trees in the val ley below will be touched with the first glints of the morning ray, and little Blossom will have coaxer her curls into shape and lie ready for a ramble up the cliffs that stud the South Mountain, and kissed her fairy companion, Sunshine, a good morning, before the people ill the valley below will realize that the suh has risen. There are effects from the newly risen light, hu t they are only to be seen among the morning mists that begin to creep up from the low lands, between clout! and mist, that form, so to speak, the floor over which the light travels to us. But these are only pendants to the great event which we have already seen and recorded. It is probable that some tolismanic influence is ever at work, making ill nature and Kauterskill Tall antagonistic’ for it has been our fortune to 1« whirled down the r6ad past the lakes and westward to the sharp de pression between the mountains, which supplies the rival to Terni, and never with a company tlmt did not combine all the elements of good feeling and enjoyment, no matter whether the hu manizing influence is to be found in the brisk and bracing'mountain air which soothes the lungs while it freshens the limbs—in the cookery which recognizes common sense and defies indigestion— or in the pleasant face of the young clerk which Smiles upon ns from the office; and who always has the best scat left, .kept or reserved for every i one —no matter, we say, which may be the pecn- I liar influence which keeps the old rule good in the but certain it is that, talking the average 'height of; male and female humanity at five feet four, the long coach to the Sails this monnng carries down eighty-five feet and four inches of pleasure seeking, distributed all the way along between pleasant dignity and schoolboy merriment. A sprinkle of people of both sexes i who may or may not be named some time in the ; future, make tip the company, and any nearer ap- ’ proach to actual personalities would be an infringe- ■ ment upon special privilege which we have no -; thought whatever of doing. Not ton minutes, in stead of half an hoary seem to have passed, with i the glimpses of the High Beak, the Bound Top, ; and many other points'of range lying westward ‘ nod northward, when we break sharply down a keener descent than any that we have ever betas mate in the mountain road, and come ootyM B Bwe lewd before the Laurel Hooee ami overhfek ita the trails. At one time, 'as before recorded, ‘‘there war not water enough here to: rfroit n a reT —mem—no allusion whatever to the toratt ab •tractcdfrom the rag-bag—but thyt was ia late summer and in time of drouth, when all the moun tains were like : tinder and thirsty passengers liter ally drank mud at the Mountain Toll-gate. At any time when the summer drouth has not fully set in, Kanteiskill may be depended upon for a cas cade which makes up in depth what it lacks in width ; and to-day, as we stream out of the lum . lie-ring coach and into the little building ovefhang | ing the Falls, the thunder of a very young Niagara j is coming up, indicating (hat the’water spirit has : not been exorcised by the sun. Wc go out, with j the others, on a platform literally, as well as fig j urativcly, overhanging the | Fall, apd look down • over the balcony. We realise then more clearly titan ever before, that Kantefskill Falls, in some regards, has no equal. The stream may be capri cious as that which supplies; .the tear-drop to the eyes, but the basin into whioli it falls is ever grand and impressive. We have noticed that all mountain cascades have the horse-shoe form with the water tailing down- tlje toe tinj the space below the hollow, or (to change the figure,) the water coming down from the centre of the boxes of a Theatre, in front, opposite the stage, and the bottom of the Fall the pit or auditorium. This is the shape Of Niagara, and the prominent feature of Kebecca’s Well in Kittatinny Mountains, and of a dozen others that might tie named. Nearly perpendicular, all around three sides of the circle, rise the walls of dark rock, chill with the eternal mist and damp in the absence of sunshine, showing the usual moun tain cataract feature. Under us, as we shall sdh when by-atid-by we stand on the opposite side, the wall hollows in so ns to make a rentable dry walk under the Failr To the left, and immediately lie side the little p|atforra where we are standing, the mountain stream, four or five feet wide, comes rapidly down, rich with the amber.green like the St. Lawrence, and placid as if it had no premoni tion of its fate—then it gives a start, a shudder, and springs out into the air, a wreath of wh+te, feathery-spray, dashes into foam as it reaches the depth below. It is a dizzy depth to one standing immediately over it, even the one hundred and eighty feet of the first fall, and the nerves must be firm and steady if the eye looks down without a shudder. But the persecutions of the water do not end here. But a moment has elapsed after the fall which dashed it into fragments, and by some power of cohesion which does not apply to human bodies in similar cases, it has tpund its way to gether, when—lo! there is a second fall of ninety feet, and over the second precipice it dashes, and blends a second low growl with the thunder of disapprobation pt its first plunge. From each of the Falls comes up a little wreath of mist, a very taunt and mockery of Niagara: and here flashes a short circle of a raiuliow, bright as'anv that ever spanned the great cataract, and oniv needing spall- S.J rise to the dignity ol a full circle. All da- while down the oiien bottom ot the horse shot; we have lieou gazing ut intervals, and voice has - called to voice in admiration of the sunshine and cloud-shadow playing among the peaks that rise down the long vista and lose themselves in the distance. We have accompanied the crowd to the brink ol the descent, and even descended the first Hight far enough to catch a full view ot t-he white cascade in its arrowy flight, relieved against the dark of the basin—we go no further hut con nect ourseleves with that pleasant “home guard” on the upper platform, who keep guard over the temporarily abandoned hoop skirts, for be it known to you, oh, gentle reader, who-have never been up on these Mountains, that a lady in hoops, descend ing to the bottom of Kanterskill, would as certainly break her dear neck or remain hanging front some gnarled root, half way down, like fruit on a gar den espalier, as she would wish that she had con sulted convenience instead of fashion. From this guard and elevation we recognize the figures of our party as they creep tremblidgly around on the wet and slippery shelf behind the Fall, and sec them as they clamber down the rocks below, and hear their mem- whoops sent up through the trees when they arc hidden away among the damp rocks at the very bottom of the second Fall. We purchase marvelous minerals and stones which come from Sussin or the Rocky Mountains, with the assurance that "they were ‘•picked up at the Fall.” Little Blossom discov [ ers an almond shell among the bushes, and thence forth can never ho persuaded that almonds do not grow 1 luxuriantly all over the Catskills. The party ai/ rung together by the use of a cracked bell at Laurel House, whose hoarders, if thev depend upon being called to their meals hv it, no doubt starve in the woods. e had a merry ride back to the Mountain House and to dinner. After dinner little Blossom and Suntag, accompanied hy.Thompso*—with a /s—contraband, barber and yuide, set out to visit Kahtcrskiil Clove. Thompson—the guides—is a man who knows opera, and inquires after the voice nf Brignolia and the success of lone. The guide leads on, with a domestic alpenstock in hand, and one for each of us which will he found useful bv and-by, ascending and descending, if there is not even the warning of a rattle snake in the path.— So to sticks, and away, in Indian fdc, the guide leading down the steep descent northeast from the House; over a few fences, through an almost trackless and altogether rugged path to the wood halt a mile below the House, all the while descend ing rapidly, thou sharp around from the road to the right, still downward and into the almost im- Jienatrahle wood, and by that marvelous Moses Bock which all the year long, through rain and drought, gushes water, confounds the philosophers and recalls the miracle of Israel in the de.-iert.— Almost trackless did we say ?—leave out the ad verbial adjective altogether; for in a moment, ex cept to the sharp eyes of the guide, the track is lost altogether. Even the guide's eyes become doubtful a fler a while, and unoji he pauses to trace remembered landmarks. On, still bearing west and evidently skirting the Mountain at seme fif ;tcuu hundred feet below the level of the Mountain House. On find on—was there ever so laborious mid yet so pleasant a walk, little Blossom? llirough the dense woods, so dense that only rarely little sunshine came peeping down through the branches to light up onr pathway. On, past huge piled masses of .square stone lying on either side of the path and seeming like pulpits to the long departed Druids of the West; over fallen trees, huddled together like our dead upon the Gettysburg battle-field, thisr bark slippery with years of damp, and their branches making nn al most impenetrable abattis; through thickets where branches fly in the face and the brambles plav fanfajjtic tricks with Sontag’s patent-leathers; over marshy morasses where the moisture oozes eoollv through the moss, and the only crossing is hv 1 springing from one to the otliief of the slippery ; stones, looking out here for a snake, mid there f hearing the crash of tile guide'shjtick in reply to the I of •> iiashed jiartridge or (he drumming of a i pheasant, stopping to pick the rod berries of the wintergifcn, fatigued hut delighted.
