gnMirfr letter,, ~ E. O. GOODRICH, EDITOR. } TOWANDA: Thursday Moriiing, January 22,1863. j ( CUR TERMS. j 1 The great increase iu the price o. paper, j which we have before noticed, has caused news- ■ jiaper publishers throughout the country to : j raise their subscription to meet the emergent}. Paper has within the last few weeks gone up 1 from 10 to 22 cents per poaud. Should it re- main permanent at this latter price, we c&u- j not furnish the REPORTER at one dollar a year, without a loss upon every copy issued. Wei arc loth to increase the subscription, but from - present indications, and from the information we liavo lrom our paper manufacturers, we shall probably be obliged to. The response made by our subscribers to I j our late appeal, has becu very satisfactory, i though not as general as it should be. We shall receive subscriptions at our present rate until the 14th day cf February next, after ( which time (unless there is some change in , the prices of materials to warrant) the terms j of subscription will be ONE DOI.LAR AND FIFTY CENTS per year. We shall ai-o at that time discontinue every paper not paid for in ad vance, without " fear, favor or affection," as the 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 o~ac (hilar per year. As a business, 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 . HCJORTER without paying any thing, will see the justice and propriety of not patting off the "good time''any longer, but will promptly square old accounts, and avail themselves of the limited time v.hicb 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 we can't stand the expense. SUMMARY OF NEWS. We learn from Fortress Monroe that all the Union commissioned officers captured since the -t 1 12th inst., are to be handed over to the Gov '■ i mors of the States w here taken,and it is prob- j able that all captured previous to thai date will be released. The brilliant capture cf Arkansas Post by . the land and naval forces under McOicrnaud and Porter is cheering to the heart and hope i of the army and people. Seven thousand Rebels were taken prisoners, five hundred and j fifty killed, and nine pieces of ai tilery captur ed, beside a vast quantity of war-like stores, i Our loss was rather over two hundred. This i event took place on the 10 and 11th inst.— Tae place commandediheAikamasßiver and the route to the State Capital. It is about fifty miles above the junction with the Ai is- i sissippi. It was naturally of great strength. The guns, mounted ou a fort, .enfiladed the river, and there were the Lest positions for sharp shooters. Ttie fort is on a high bluff at a bend of the stream, where the channel is: The army was divided into two parts—one 1 proceeding Ly way of White River the other by the Arkansas River, joining forces near , the place to be assaulted. The army there \ fought under its new name—the army of the Mississippi, and right gallantly did it comport itself in taking Aikansas Post—the oldest 1 settlement, by the way, of the State. This place was settled bv the French in IGSS ; and contains about 500 inhabitants. Dispatches from Nashville, dated Fiiday, say that the Rebel Gen, Forrest, with 4,0u0 men and 12 guns, attacked our relief and sfcoreships coming up the Cumberland River, capturing five steamboats, lauen with valuable commissary stores, and the gunboat Slidell. —Several of the bouts contained wounded sol (liers, who, in jumping from them while burn ing, were shot in the water. The negro crews were stripped of their clothing, tied to trees, cowhidcd, and left to starve on shore. The boats were all burned, after being robbed of valuables. The officers and soldiers were strij - pod of clothiogand paroled. Several bridges on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad have been destroyed, and mail communication cau not be resumed for some time. An entire Rebel regiment, numbering about 300 men, deserted and came into our outpost, 15 miles beyond Murfreesboro on Thursday. The Chattanocga lldel reports a large fleet of gunboats and transports ascending the Mis sissippi River on the 13th inst. Another Rebel pirate is heard from. The brig Gilmore Meredith of Baltimore and the schooner West Wind sailed from St. Thomas Jan. 4, for Cuba, to load, and the same dav were chased back to St. Thomas by the Con federate schooner Retribution. She lay cut side of the Gilmore Meredith, which was at auchor iu the harbor, and took from her five of the crew. As we go to press this (Wednesday) morning, it is snowing rapidly. Good !

A correspondent of the Boston Commercial ! Bulletin, written from Liverpool under date of Dec. 31, makes some interesting statements | regardiug the development of the Confederate j navy. He says that there are now at that port, at Laird's establishment, where the Ala bama was built, three new iron screws steam- i ers, one said to be three thousand tons, the j other two of one thousand six hundred tons : each ; all very fine specimens, and expected to be formidable vessels and of great speed. ; The larger ship is reported to be ready for sea, with coals and stores on Load, (no arma-! ment of course,) and her agents arc now ship- j ning a crew of uicke.d men. It is said, in an l t? . swer to inquiries, that this ship is bound for j China ! But there is little question that she ' is bound upou a piratical expedition, and it is hinted that Maury (now in Liverpool) is to ; have the command. The two other ships are j receiving their machinery, and will not 1 e ready for the present. The same steamer that took the guns, &e., to the Alabama was in port, and is likely to be soon employed in a i similar service. A party of o(Beers attached ; 'to this fleet have appeared :n the naval uni- 1 : forms adopted ly the se-callc-d Confederacy, j since the news of the battle of Fredericksburg j was received. The same correspondent also ; confirms the statements recently made regard- 1 iag the departure of a large fleet of small • steamers with cargoes of food and stores des- j lined for the rebels. MURDER AT BERWICK. —The Berwick Ga 1 I zclle cf last Saturday says, that on the Sun- ' day previous, a man by the name cf Samuel j ! Iddings, in employ at Jacksou & Woodiu's Foundry at that place, deliberately and with- \ out the least provocation, shot r.n unoffending ! 1 colored man by the name of Tkos. Stookev, who was working for Mr. P. M. Trough. The murderer is stiil at large, and the Gazelle ■ complains that but little effort is being made to secure his arrest. He had his right arm blown off some years since by the premature j discharge cf a cannon, and has its place sup plied by a wooden one, bound in sheet iron, | with which he can wield a deadly blow at one , stroke. lie is said to be a desperate charac- I ter. The President has signed the bill ad mitting the new State of West Virginia into the Union. There are now, therefore, thirty | five Slates in the Union, twenty four of which ; are loyal. Iu each of the disloyal States there ■ is a large Union force, aud their whole coast :is blockaded by our fleets. The population oi West Virginia is about 350,000, of whom not ; more than 10,000 are slaves. These latter j will undoubtedly be emancipated before a j i great while on the plan recommended by the President, and at a cost to the United States Treasury of not more than two or three mil ; lions of dollars. The old Stale of Virginia j contains about 1,250,000 inhabitants, of whom ; about 450,000 are slaves and 50,000 free ue- 1 ' ; grces. INTERNAL REVENUE DECISION.— In answer 1 I 1 | to certain inquiries, Commissioner Boutwell replies under date of Jau. G, ISG3—that 1 " Deeds giveu by Sheriffs and Bonds given by guardians or others, for the due performance of any duty, are subject to stamp duty and that " by act of Ctngress of the present ses sion. Assessors and Assistant Assessors are! authorized to administer oaths." According to a late decision of the same " learned " Bout well, publishers of newspapers must take out a retailer's license, because they furnish subscri bers with their papers at the publication oQiee. I A letter received in Boston on Satur- j ; day, direct from Ncwbern, brings the very la test intelligence from that point. It is dated . last Saturday morning, Jan. 10, several days later than any previously received. The reg ular mails were to be interdicted for a short j tims, and everything indicated a formidable movement iu some direction. The fleet of i iron clads was iu sight, and siege guus, artil lery, shell and fixed ammunition were beiug put into vessels in large quantities. Our troops were generally in good health. Gen. Grant has issued an order for all ! Israelites in his department to leave. fig£yThe following appeal tells its own sto rv, and pleads its own cause, aud we hope and trust it will not plead in vain. Let onr ladies send tbeir free will offerings to the suffering at Post Hospital, that tbeir sufferings may be al- j leviaied : AN ATPKAL TO THE LADIES OF BRADFOBD | COUNTY. —To you, dear friends, who, from the ! commencement of these " troublous times," have ; manifested such au untiring interest in the j welfare of our soldiers, and whose hands have been busied night and day in efforts to add to their comfort, I present this appeal in behalf of Post Hospital, feeling well assured, from my acquaintance with the ladies of Brad ford, that it will not remain long unresponded to. In fact, lam certain that many of you will say, as we have already said : " We would gladly have sent before, to the relief of the suffering soldiers there, if we bad known how." j Post Hospital, or Convalescent Camp, with i which it is connected, has in it from seven to j nine thousand men. There have also been I other camps conuected with this, including, in all, from fifteen to eighteen thousand men.— The majority of the men in the Convalescent Camp have been sent here from the hospitals in the different cities, where they had enjoy ed the comforts of civilization ; and they have sometimes arrived here without overcoat or blanket, and have had to go iuto tents with no fire, to sleep upon the bare ground, during the coldest weather that we have been having for some weeks past. Perhaps soldiers in the field might be able to endure this (?) but those just convalescing certainly cannot ; and, as a natural consequence, they soon come into the Hospital here, where they need not only the care that the government procures for thein, but they need Ihe little comforts that friends at home would be so ready and willing to send, if they knew ju-.t how to reach those who are here without any means of procuring comforts for themselves. lam fully satisfied that the I reason this place has been, hitherto, compara tively neglect d iu " the daily ministrations," j was that the actual condition of things here ! was not understood by the people of the North. 1 am happy to say that there is a kind lady here to iook after the sick men, who will do ' everything she has in her power to do, to min ister to their comforts ; and who will tako pleasure in seeing that anything sent to this - is faithfully applied to the purpose for ' which it was designed. This lady is Airs. OHM-F.Y, Alatrou of Hospital. And I am satisfied that the ladies of IJrad ford will do their full share towards furnish ir.g the means to enable her to labor efficient ly in ameliorating the condition of our poor soldier toys. I believe that the nolle senti ments expressed by a lady of Athens will find an echo in many a woman's heart in my native county, who may have a son, or tne as near to her, engaged iu this great conflict, She writes :—" Oh, my frier.d, how it grieves us, that so many noble souls should be suffering for the most common necessaries of life. 1 feel when enjoying the comforts that our Ilea vonly Bather in His gondr.css has bestowed upon me—as though I were wronging our poor suffering soldiers J would gladly divide with them the last stick of wood, and the last ; ! mouthful ot food, if I could have the oppor-1 : tuiiity '' I need hardly say that this was im- | i mediately followed by a box of articles for the ' j soldiers in cur Hospital, which, 1 believe, is \ j oulyau earnest of what will yet come lrom j ; Bradford. May GOD bless the good people i j of Athens, for their remembrance of this post, ! J notwithstanding the multiplied calls that have ; been already responded to by them. And what made their offering most acceptable, was that the question came : " Is there Anything < ; that ire can do to relieve the suffering at Post j Hospital, or to make the soldiers mere com i fortable r" before any appeal had beeu made |to their liberality. But Ido not believe that 1 1 lie rest of the good people (f Bradford w ill wait longer than to know our necessities and how to reach us. Too well do I know of their previous tffurts in this direction. Pennsylvania has, in this Convalescent Camp alone, soma two thousand men, besides what i the may have in the Parol, Recruit and Strag ! glers' Camp, each having a sort of connection with this, aud each sending sick men to this Hospital. Bradford county, too, has been well represented here, though 1 think she has no men who are in this Hospital at present, i ail having been sent to more comfortable quar ters. She has, however, a number in the Con vale-scent Camp, and has had those who would have suffered, if their necessities hud not been supplied. Ido not believe that the people of Bradford will allow these things to be done . for them by others in the future. You can . hardly imagine how it cheers a soldier's heart, i iu this far off land, to know that articles have been sent for his comfort from his native town :or county. If that does not arouse his Amir 1 Patriae, aud make him willing to fight for his loved home, nothing will. i Some of the States have agents here, or who ! came here to look after the sick men from their several localities, and to seo that they have the things that are sent to them, but, if Penn | sylvania has such an agent here, 1 am not aware of it. And now, ladies of Bradford, I have made a short statement to you of the condition and : necessities of those located here. I could not : have spoken thus freely for myself, but, when !it is for others, 1 have no hesitation. And I J shall wuit your response, fully confident that you will not neglect this call for help, though j it may come from an almost unknown, and consequently unsupplicd portion of the field. G. 11.

I am happy to say that Dr. MOUSE, from Canton, Bradford county, has lately arrived upon this ground, and, if he should remain long here, any one preparing to do so, can forward their donations to his care. C. H. P. BgR A horrible scene occurred at au execu tion in Woodstock, Canada, on Tuesday last. A blind man, named Thomas Cook, who" mur dered his wife in a drunken quarrel, was hung. The fall was a very long one, the rope being nine feet four inches in length. The fall be ing so great, and the man's body being in a | diseased condition, the vertebra? and muscles connecting the head with the shoulders gave way, and terrible to relate, tbe head rolled off while the body fell with a heavy plunge into the interior of the scaffold 1 The life-blood of the criminal poured out in living streams from the headless trnnk, while the torn mus cles and gaping arteries presented a sickening 1 spectacle CAPTURE OF ARKANSAS POST.

In considering the reunion of the states, he took a hopeful view aud ex pressed his belief that the North and South would come together as christians, lie closed his address with these words : But now, my friends, these bright visions of hope canuot be realized but in consequence of long, ardent, and united prayer. The church and the nation must get down on their kuees before the mercv seat. A nation on its knees is omnipotent iri'A God. We must learu to seize the promises with a death grasp and tell the Hearer of prayer, 'I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.'

It coutains iufor uiatiou valuable to business DJCD : IION. E. M'PHERSCN — SIR : —Your letter of the 17th ult., asking, in behalf of the Pro thonotary of Adams county, for information in regard to stamps, under the operation ol the Excise Law, upon judgment notes and bonds, is just at hand. 1 have to state> that the common form of judgment bonds and notes in use in Pennsylvania, require to be stamped as follows : The bond, as a personal bond, requires a mortgage stamp, under head of " mortgage," j schedule B. The power, cr warrant of attorney, to con fess judgment thereon, requires a stamp, as general power of attorney. (See 4th clause schedule B ) The judgment note is subject to duty as a promissory note, under head, " Bills of exchange Inland" (schedule B, p. 88 ) And also to general power stamps as in : case above. The above ruling will apply to the forms of I bouds and notes in ordinary use in your Stute. I am, dear sir, your obedient servant, G. F. BOUTWELL, Revenue Com'r. According to this decision of the Commis sioner, the stamps on a judgment bond, given for any sum exceeding S4OO, and not exceed ing SSOO, will cost $1 50, viz : 50 cents for mortgage stamp, and $1 for power of attorney stamp. The promissory note stamp on a judgment ; note will be less than the mortgage stamps. Promissory notes for a sum betweeu S2O and SIOO require a stamp, however, and the $1 power of attornej stamp must be used on all judgment notes. So far as it is understood now, the least ex pensive mode of giving judgement is by con fession on an amicable act ion, for which strict, ly there is no stamp provided in the schedule, but which, as is the opinion of some of the members of the bar, cannot be subject to ! more than a fifty cent stamp for any amount. i MUSICAL CONVENTION.
