OUR TERMS.
The great incease iu the price of paper,
which we have before noticed , has caused news
paper publishers throughout the couutry to
raise their subscription to meet the emergency.
Taper has within the last few weeks gone up !
from 10 to 22 cents per pound. Should it re- .
main permanent at this latter price, we can- ]
not furnish the REPORTER at oue dollar a year, :
without a loss upon every copy issued. We (
arc loth to increase the subscription, but from ;
present indications, and from the information
we have from our paper manufacturers, we
shall probably be obliged to.
The response made by our subscribers to
our late appeal, has been very satisfactory, !
though not as general as it should be. We j
shall receive subscriptions at our present rate j
until the 14th day of February next, after
which time (unless there is some change iu
the prices of materials to warrant) the terms
of subscription will be ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY
j
CENTS per year. We shall also at that time i
discontinue every paper not paid for iu ad
vance, without " fear, favor or affection," as
tho change in price will make such a course an
absolute necessity.
We do not know of a newspaper the size of
the REPORTER in the country furnished at one
dcllar per year. As a it would take
but a short time to " close out the concern,''
at the present high prices of everything used ;
in a printing office.
We trust those who have been receiving the
REPORTER without paying anything, will see
the justice and propriety of not putting off the
" good time " any longer, but will promptly
square old accounts, and avail themselves of
the limited time which now remains to pay in
advance at one dollar a year. After the close
of February Court, we shall not send the RE
PORTER to non-paying subscribers. We should
be happy to, but wc can't stand the expense.
THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
Gov. CIT.TIN delivered his annual message
to the Legislature of Pennsylvania on Tuesday
week. The able document will be found on
the first page of our paper, and we invite for
it the serious perusal of our readers. Consid
ering the importance of the topics discussed— '
the position which the Commonwealth, from
whatever staud poiut we gaze at it, now occu
pies—the crisis in which the Union is involved
—this Message deserves a double importance
both as a state paper, and the enunciation of
the Chief Magistrate of one, if not the most
powerful Commonwealth iu the Union, either
as it was or as it is.
The first topic touched is of course oue re
lating to the peculiar interests of jthe State.
Those interests are involved in the business
prosperity of the people, and this prosperity is
of course more or less controlled by the finan
cial health and security of the local state gov
ernment. Iu this particular, the message pre
sents a spectacle of security and success which
Eeems almost fabulous.
From tables embraced iu the message, we
derive the information that the receipts from
ordinary sources of revenue for the year 1862,
are in excess of the receipts of the year 1861
one mi/lion thirty thousand one hundred and sev
enty six dollars and eighty two cents, [the ex
cess of iutcrest paid iu 1862 over that in 1861
bciDg $144,095 37 ;] and that the ordinary
oxpeuditures for 1862 were ninety-five thou
sand three hundred uud seventeen dollars and
sixteen cents less than the year previous.—
What other State can present a similar account
of its finances ? None, certainly, in this Un
ion, and of course none out of its limits ou ei
ther side of the Atlantic. And with this spec
tacle of the health of our finances, while the
nation is devising plans for the increase of its
poveu les, the Ciiief Magistrate of Pennsylva
nia deems it just to recommend a redaction of
the burdens of taxation, because the resources
and the finances of the Commonwealth are
such as to enable the State Government to
sustain itself, to a certain extent, without di
rect a:J from the people. We deem this bare
fact, extracted from the figures with which the
message sets forth the finaucial condition of
the State, sufficient to elicit our warmest con
gratulation, not only for the people, who are
so largely benefitted by tha result, but for the
Executive, who has so steadily and zealously
labored for its realization.
The message in detail refers to other inter
ests affecting the credit of the State and con
tributing to its resources, all of which are in
a healthy and prosperous condition. Rut we
are forced to pass over these and omit all criti
cal reference to any of them, on account of the
pressure upou our space. In reference to the
military operations of the Commonwealth, the
message conveys facts which have already
found their way to the public in unofficial
shape. These facts are now the fair boast and
honest pride of every true Peunsylvauian, if
not of every loyal man and patriotic lover of
the L nion. Every call made for troops was
promptly auswered, and the mqn, without a
murmur oi cxpiessiou of disscDt, were muster-
Ed into the service of the Government, and are j
now either bravely battling in defence of the j
Union, or, after having fought the good fight,
are resting in graves covered with the glory
of the deeds in which they participated.
It is best that the reader reviews for him
self the history and the figures which the mes
sage presents. When these are fairly weighed
and digested, when the local government of
the Commonwealth is tested by the force which
these present, Pennsylvania will bo found in a
position at once prosperous'and impregnable;
prosperous when considered in reference to her
internal trade and resources, and impregnable
when contemplated as a life giving power to
the existence and stability of the American
Union.
CONGRESS.
In the Tluited States Senate on Monday a
bill was offered and referred to aid West A ir
ginia in a speedy and final abolitiooof Slavery .
The bill for a further issue of bonds and notes
was adopted. (This is Mr. Chase's great fi
nancial measure.) The bill for the more prompt
payment of soldiers was postponed, it being
stated that its chief provisions were embraced
in the financial bill just adopted. After dis
cussion cf the bill to reorganize the Court of
Claims, the bill for the discharge of State
prisoners was taken up, and Mr. Wilkinson
made a speech. No vote was taken. The
bill to raise volunteers for the defease of Ken
tucky was adopted—23 to 13.
In the House, an attempt was made to take
up the bill reducing the duty on printing pa
per but did not succeed. The House called
for a statement of the expenses incurred for
the support of slaves in disloyal States. A
resolution fully indorsing and ratifying the
President's Proclamation was referred to the
Judiciary Committee, an attempt to vote it
down failing—Yeas, 50 ; Nays, 85. Inquiry
was proposed into the expediency of granting
bounty lands to soldiers. The President was
asked to send in his instructions to Military
Governors concerning elections of Members of
Congress. Leave was asked to bring in a bill
to establish a Bureau of Emancipation. A
Committee was voted to report on the expe
diency of building a military and post road
from New-York to Washington. The Naval
Committee were asked to inquire into the ex
pediency of laying a telegraph wire from For
tress Monroe to New-Orleans. It was voted
that no more money ought to be given to civil
creditors until the soldiers in service are fully
paid. A bill was proposed to raise 150,000
colored soldiers for five years, to be paid $5
per month with rations—oue half to go to
their families, or be retained where they hove
uone. Its consideration was postponed to the
21st inst. An effort was made, unsuccessful
ly, to pass slave-catching resolutions to apply
to Maryland. This brought out a resolution
inquiring into the expediency of giviug aid to
Maryland to abolish Slavery. In Committee
of the Whole, the bill to provide meaus for
the support of the Government was discussed,
Mr. Spaulding making an elaborate speech.
SUMMARY OF NEWS.
Wc have disagreeable news from Galvas
I ton. On the Ist our blockading force was
attacked by a number of Rebel gunboats, and
a contest ensued which resulted in the defeat
of our forces, the capture of the Harriet Lane
and the destruction of the flag-ship Westfield.
We lost a number of valuable officers, Com
mander lleushaw among the number.
The news of General Sherman's repulse
from Yicksburg is confirmed. Not finding
the expected support from below, he was forc
ed back to his gunboats,embarked under their
protection, and was at last accounts bound up
: the river toward Napoleon. His loss is stated
to bo 000 killed, 1 500 wounded, and 1,000
| missing.
Through rebel sources we are told that the
Union forces at and near Newbern is 50,000
strong ; that General Foster is about moving
bis men being on Friday engaged in cooking
their marching rations, and that probably
Charleston, Wilmington, Goldsborough and
Welden would be simultaneously attacked.
We Lave New Orleans dates to the 3d inSt.,
The Capitol building at Baton Rogue was
lurued, with the State Library, on the 31st
ult. There are conflicting statements about
the fire, but it was most probably the work of
the rebels themselves. There have been sev
eral arrests in New Orleans for noisy disloyal
talk, an offense which is on the increase.
Oa Wednesday night a party of Union
cavalry and infantry from Yorktown landed
at White House, captured a large number of
wagons and animals, destroyed the depot and
rolling stock of the railroad, burned a steam
er and several sloops, boats and barges iaden
with grain, and sustained no loss whatever.
The loss in Negley's division during the
fight near Murfreesboro' is returned at 1,359.
It is reported that the town of Lavergne ha?
been by accident burned down, and the Rebel
wounded are to be sent to Nashville.
A report was printed a day or two ago in
a Richmond paper, that General Sumner's
Corps of Burnside's Army had embarked on
transports sailed southward. The story is
contradicted by a dispatch from headquarters.
Dispatches from Burnside's army to Satur
day represent everything quiet. A recent in
spection of artillery amunition has discovered
a great deal of worthless material, aud steps
arc taken to replace it.
Richmond papers say that Bragg is at Tul
luhoma, 32 miles from Murfreesboro, where
he says he will stay aud whip the Yaukees.—
Roseucraus had advanced six miles beyond
the late battle field.
The Porter Court-Martial is finished, aud
the decision sent to the President. Its result
is not known, but rumor says that some of
the charges are dismissed and others sustain
cdt
Late news from the Rebel Colonel, Forrest,
says he was at Franklin, Term., on Saturday
night, collecting horses, provisions and con
scripts.
ELECTION OF HON. CHARLES R. BUCKALEW
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
HAKKISBCRG, PA., Tuesday, Jan. 13.
The Republican marchers of the Fennsyl
vania Legislature met at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, and adjourned without announcing their
action.
At 12 o'clock, noon, the Senate and House
met in joint session, and, upon the first ballot,
Hon. CHARLES R. BUCKALEW was elected United
States Seuator in place of Hon. DAVID WN>
MOT, by two majority.
Mr. LAPORTE voted for Hon. W. D. KELLY.
With this exception, the other Republicans
voted for Hon. SIMON CAMERON.
THE LEGISLATURE.
The Legislature couvened on Tuesday, the
Gth inst., and both branches organized with
out any difficulty, by the election of GEO. T.
LAWRENCE, of Washington, Speaker, and GEO
W. HAMERSLY, of Philadelphia, Clerk of the
Senate, and JOHN CESSNA of Bedford, Speak
er, and JACOB ZIEGLER of Butler, Clerk of the
Ilovse of Representatives. The election of
Messrs. CESSNA and ZIEGLER, is regarded as a
triumph of the conservative element of the
Democratic party.
80™ Nino gentlemen, residents of Whit
field County Northern Georgia, arrived in
Louisville a few days since, having escaped
by crossing the Tennessee River the
mouth of the Hiawassee. They give a fear
ful account of the reign of terror in the
South. They state that pork is selliug at 30
cents per pound, salt at $1,75 per pound,
corn at $2 to $3 per bushel, wheat at $G per
bushel, sugar at 75 cents per pound,shoes $lO
per pair, and boots at $75, eggs at $1 per
dozen, chickens $1 each, and other articles
in proportion. The scarcity of salt is so
great that many persons make use of the dirt
in their smoke-houses,, which has beeu saturat
ed with salt, extracting the saline matter from
it, wherewith to cure their meats. There is
also great suffering in the rebel army, and the
Augusta Chronicle asserted recently that a
body of two thousand six hundred troops
marched into Richmond without shoes. Com
missions have beeu appointed in soma districts
to take an account of tbe amount of corn and
other produce in the possession of the rcsi
dents, who are not permitted in any case to
hold more than is ueccssary for their subsis
tence until the next crop shall have matured,
and if a family should be found to be tincturod
with ioyalty to the Federal Government, all
their uieaus of subsistence are seized and con
fiscated. These refugees in their flight from
rebel oppression traveled in the by-ways night
and day, sometimes paying guides as much as
thirty dollars for their services a single aight.
Exciting News from Galveston,
ATTACK BY LAND AND WATER.
Gallant Defense by {lie Harriet Lane,
Nearly ail Her Officers anil crew Killed.
The United States mail steamer Creole,
George Couch, commander,from New-Orleans,
Jan. 3d, at G : 30 p. m , South West l'ass
Jan. 4lb, at 7 : 30 a m., with mails, mer
chandise and passengers consigned toLudiara,
Hincken X Co., arrived here last evening.
The Purser, Mr. Cook, furnishes the follow
ing highly important news :
NEW Y'OKK, January 11, 1863.
By the arrival of the United States gun
boat Clifton at the South-West Pass, on the
evening of Jan. 3d I learn that early on the
morning of Jan. Ist the rebels made an attack
by laud and water on the Union forces at
Galveston,
Our gunboats were attacked by five Rebel
steamers, protected by double rows of bales of
cotton, aud loaded with troops, armed with
rifles, muskets, shotguns, <fcc.
The Harriet Lane was captured by hoard
ing after about all of her officers, including
Capt. Wainwright and Lieutenant Lee, aud a
crew of 130, all told, had beenkiiled by mus
ketry from the Rebel steamer. My inform
ant states that but one or two of the officers,
aud but 12 or 15 of the crew escaped death.
The gunboat Cliftou and Owasco were engag
ed and escaped—the former losing no men,
and but one wounded The O.vaaco lost ore
killed, and 13 wounded. Two barks, loaded
with coal, fell into the hands of the enemy.
The Westfield (flag-ship), Commodore Ren
shaw, was not engaged, being ashore in an
other channel. Her crew were transferred to
transports, and Commodore Renshaw fearing
she would fall into the hands of the Rebels,
1 blew her up. By some mismanagement or ac-
I cident, the explosion took place before a boat,
| containing Com. Renshaw, First Lieut. Zim
mermanu, and the boat's crew, got away, and
they were consequently blown up with the
ship.
The crew of the Westfield arrived at New-
Orleans in transjKjrts.aud the remaiuing troops
are on their way back. They did not arrive
till the place had been evacuated. All the
fleet are on their way to New Orleans.
_Thc rebel force was estimated at 5,000, un
der the command of Gen. Magruder. Our
land force, under the command of Col. Burrell
of Massachusetts, probable did not exceed
300, the residue not having arrived, or not
having disembarked at the time of the fight.
Our loss was estimated at from 150 100
killed, and]2oo taken prisoners. The navey
suffered the most. It is thought the rebel loss
must have beeu much more, as our guns were
firing grape and canister continually in their
midst.
The rebels had several batteries on shore.
The Union troops were on one of the long
wharves, and it is said they repulsed two
charges of the Rebels before they surrend
ered.
These particulars were told rae at Sooth-
West Pass, on the morning of fche 4th, by Ex
ecutive-Officers Summerton of the U. S. ship
Pampero, and are doubtless in the maiu cor
rect.
T. D. COOK, Jn,
Purser of the U. S. M. steamship Creole, 115 Broadway.
BgL, News from Yazoo River to the 3d
inst., confirms the accountj of Gen. McClcr
naud's abandonment of the attack on Vicks
burg. The enemy had 00,000 men, and IGO
guns in batteries, beside field artillery. Our
fleet had decided: upon attacking some other
place.
Eg?* Gen. Magroder, in his official report to
the Rebel War Department of the afi'air at
Galveston, says that four or five Union gun
boats escaped ignominiously under a flog of
truce.

MUSICAL CONVENTION. —Prof. J. G.
TOWNER, will hold a Musical Convention at Ulster, com
mencing on Tuesday, January 2 <th, and closing Friday
evening, January 23d, with a Concert. The success
which has attended Prof. TOWNER in these Conventions,
has far exceeded the expectation of his patrons. His ad
vertisement will be found in another column.
BQL. TIME and space will not permit us to
speak in an extended manner of the Lecture before the
Ladies' Aid Society of this place, on Monday evening,
by J. G. PATTON, Esq. His theme was the ancient one
of" Temperance," which he handled in a masterly man
ner, presenting many original and felicitous ideas. The
audience was an intelligent and appreciative one, and all
.spoke very highly of it. It is a very difficult matter to
introduce new ideas upon so time-honored and universal
a subject, but we give Mr. P. great credit in this in
stance. His arguments were clear, lucid and parliamen
tary, quite frequently soaring from dull practicalities in
to cuhaneing strains of grandiloquence, lie spoke as one
of experience in lecturing, and the least we may say is
that to one who has made so few attempts it was more
than a mere success. May the good work, of which this
lecture is an inauguration, continue until its effects shall
be wide-spread a.-.d vastly perceptible!
AT a meeting of the Fire Department
ofTowanda Borough, held at Fireman's Hull, January
Bth, 1803, Sbs following preamble and resolutions v. era
unanimously adopted:—
WHEREAS, TIIF.RON HAYWARD. of the st!l Reg't., P. R.
C., lute a member of this Department, died at Lincoln
Hospital, Washington.Friday, Jan. 2d. 1803, from wounds
received at the battle of Fredericksburg,
Resolved, That while we bow with submission before
this afflictive stroke of Divine Providence, feeling that
for him it is far better, we mourn with sincere sorrow
the loss of so valuable a member of this Department, re
cognizing in him the qualities of a true and tearless lire
man—a brave soldier—a trusted friend. We extend to
the family and relatives of our deceased friend our sym
pathy, and share in common with them the grief lor his
decease.
Resolved, That we will as a Department show our
respect for his memory by attending and taking past in
the last sad services over his remains.
Resolved, That these Resolutions be published in the
county papers; and a copy be sent to the lamily of our
deceased friend.

UFA?" THE NEXT STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF
OCB COMMON SCHOOLS.— As the time is approaching for
the appointment of a Superintendent of the Common
Schools of this State for the next term, we would sug
gest the name of C. R. COBIKS, Esq., the present wor
thy able and efficient County Superintendent of Brad-
I ford. All things considered, we think few men in the
State better qualified for the position. His experience
as a teacher, the active part he has taken for years in
great educational movements of the State, anil his ofii
rial experience as County Superintendent, have not on
ly identified him with our Common School system, but
have so familiarized him with its practical workings as
to enable him to lili the position of State Superintendent
iu a manner that will promote the great cause of popu
lar education. Nor is his fitness the 01113- ieason for sug
gesting iiis name, but loeality- should have some weight.
This section of the State is entitled to recognition—ale
serves attention in this respect. We hope the appoint
ing power will think and act upon this.
We clip the above from the Columbia County Republi
can, and take pleasure in saying there is not a word in
the article that the friends and neighbors of the gentle
man mentioned will not cheerfuih- endorse. No man
throughout the limits of the State could be chosen who
would give such universal satisfaction to the friends of
| our Common Schools as CHARLES R. COBURX. Identi
fied with them from his earliest manhood, both in this
and the adjoining State of New York—possessing a prac
tical mind and talents of the highest order united with
an irreproachable nioraPffiaraeter, his selection for the
responsible office of State Superintendent would convince
all who knew the man that the interests of the Common
Schools could not be entrusted to better hands.
If a mere politician is desired he is not the man, al
though identified with the Republican Party from its
origin. He is something ffir better than a mere partisan
—an able, earnest, faithful, honest man in every relation
of life. Our first County Superintendent, lie still holds
the office, without, so far as we know, a single school di
rector desiring a change, and no one of any party with
sufficient assurance to enter the list as his competitor at
another election. Loth as all our people would be to
part with him, we still feel that the benefit to the State
at large would more than compensate us for the loss ;
aa-d theiefore we urge most earnestly upon the appoint
ing power his peculiar fitness for the place.
