OUR TERMS.
The great increase in the price of paper,
which we have before noticed, has caused news
paper publishers throughout the country to
raise their subscription to meet the emergency.
Paper has within the last few weeks gone up
from 10 to 22 cents per pound. Should it re
main permanent at this latter price, wo can
not furnish the REPORTER at one dollar a year,
without a loss upon every copy issued. A\ e
arc loth to increase the subscription, but from j
present indications, and from the information
wc have from our jrapcr munutacturers, wc
shall probably bo obliged to.
The response made by our subscribers to
our late appeal, Las been very satisfactory,
though not as geueral as it should bo. Y> e
shall receive subscriptions at our present rate
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 DOI.UAR AND FIFTY
CENTS per year. Wc shall also at thai lime
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 or.c
dollar per year. As a business, it would take
but a short time to " close out the concern, 5 '
at the present high prices of everything used
iu 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 iu
advance at cnc dollar a year. After the close
of February Court, wc shall not scud the RE
PORTER to non-paying subscribers. We should
be happy to, but wc can't stand the expense.
SUMMARY Or NEWS.
The most important war news on Mond iy
was the resignation of Gen. Buruside and the
appointment of Gui. Hooker to the command
of the Army of the Potomac.
The Arkansas I liver Expedition is doing
good work: Rear-Admiral Porter telegraphs
on the 20Lb, that he has " taken St. Charles,
DuvalFs Bluff and Dos Arc, and the light
gunboats arc over 300 miles above the mouth
of White River. The BcKalb, Lieut -Com
mander Walke, captured at Duvall's Rhifl'two
S-ineli guns with carriages, ammunition and
200 Enfiekl rifles, and three platform cars,and
at Des Arc we captured 30 prisoners, and a
quantity of arms and ammunition." St.
Charles is a small post village of Arkansas
County, Aik. Duvall's Bluff is a small post
village of Prairie County, Ark. Des Arc was
a thriving post village also, in Prairie Countv,
on White River, 50 miles N. E. of Little
Rock. It is situated iu a rich cotton and
corn-growing district, and Lad an active trade
prior to the lebellion. The river is navicable
from this point to its mouth at all stages of
water.
Brig.-Geu. lien Loan publishes in The Mis
souri Jkmocrat a letter from Col. Pouiek,
commanding at Independence, which states
that Private Johnson was brought iu dead
on the 11 tli of January, aud that he is the
fifth one murdered there in a week by Rebel
guerrillas. They were all wounded, and killed
afterward. All of them were shot iu the
head, and several of them had their faces cut
to pieces with boot heels. Powder was ex
ploded in oue man's ear, and both cars were
out oT close to the bead. Guerrillas arc
threatening Union woman in ibe county.—
They have also levied an assessment upon the
loyal rneu of the country aud arc collecting it.
Advices from New Orleans state that on
Thursday afternoon, Jan. Bth, there was a
rumor at New-Orleans that the Winona, one
of our gflaboats, had been sunk by the South
battery at Port Hudson. It is also reported
that Stonewall Jackson with -10,000 men,
had re-enforced Yicksburg. There was noth
ing from Galveston up to uooa of January
Bth.
The Philadelphia J'/css soys, that General
Grant has placed Lis Army of the Tennessee
upon trausports at Memphis, and is now, in
all probability, engaging the enemy about
Yicksburg, The third siege of this strong
hold is now in progress, and there is but little
doubt that it will fall.
A Nashville dispatch cays that the fleet (of
supply transports, we presume,) which left
there on Friday was attacked by the rebels a
few miles below. The gunboat drove the ene
my off, and the fleet passed on safely to Clarks
ville.
The United States steam transport Illinois
sailed on Saturday afternoou with the remain
ing forces of the Hank's expedition. The Il
linois will touch at Fortress Monroe on her
way to New Orleans.
Foar boat loads of prisoners, enptur
ed at Arkansas Post, were expected at Mem
phis on Jauuary Hi.
SUPrORT THE GOVERNMENT.
The opposition to liie national udmiuislta
tion which has sprung up and gathered strength
withiu a few month.-:, cannot but excite deep
est solicitude iu ihe mind ot every patriotic
citizen. Its aims are still undefined; and it is •
not yet homogeneous. It is made up of Soutn
ern sympathizers—those who behove that shi j
very lias rights which are little less than di
vine : of those who cannot forget old party
prejudices and are antagonistic to the admin
ist ration because it is licpublieii-n ; and of:
ii.u.-e who are iu favor of cru-hiug the rebel
lion by the must energetic means, but are dis
satisfied with the manner in winch the war
has bccu conducted. And not a few whose
sympathies are naturally with the nduiiuistiu
tion have been turned from it by the loose j
management which seems to pervade evciy
department connected with the supply ot the i
army, and which is really unavoidable iu the
absence of arbitrary power to deal with svvin
dling contractors. Thus, when unity and har
mony are absolutely necessary to the success
of our arms,.and while the rebels are a unit in
support of their rulers, the national adminis
tration is bitterly opposed for the most diverse
reasons, and the holy cause is suffering from
division of sentiment and from a factious op
positicu which even threatens to become in
surrection.
The tendency of opposition is too obvious
to be misunderstood. Although it embraces
many who are as loyal as the strongest sup
porters of the Administration, yet it is led by
these who are in full sympathy with Jeff. Da
vis and his sentiments. Such men as \\ ood,
Vallandigham, Wall, Cox, W. R Reed, Ran
dall and Seymour are the prime movers of the
i opposition and shape its policy. Can any
i thinking man douut w.iere ilicy will lead .
| Can any one fail to see that they are bent up
' on securing an ignominious submission to the
| rebel oligarchy 1
! It is cot alone iu weakening the confidence
i of the people in the success of the Govern
: aicut, and* in maligning the administration,
! that we see the slimy tracks oi tuo opposition
j leaders. They are sowing the seeds of JUat-
I feet ion among our soldiers, and doing what
I they can to bring about that demoralization
iof the at my of which they croak. With no
; desire for the success of cur arms and no in
terest in the triumph cf the Government, they
would exult over a mutiny in the army as they
would triumph iu an insurrection at the North.
There has not been a time iu ti*e picgicss
; of this rebellion when unity of purpose at the
• North was more to be desired than now, or
; when such unity would be more happy iu its
j results. Wc have abundant evideuce that
, the resources of the rebels have been strained
| to the utmost —that their men and means to
: carrv on the v.'ar will soon be exhausted. —
I With varying success we have still made sub
i staulial progress, until the war has reached
' that point where a single important victory
! will iurn the scale iu our favor, liven now
the rebellion is sustained upon the hope cf a
division at the North. With their power o:
endurance strained to the utmost, the rebel
leaders are listening anxieu iy for the first
gun cf that " fire in the rear," which tin y hoj e
will paraliz.' the arms of the fedcsa! govern
tneut.
There arc but two ways of averting the ea
tastrophc—one is by the streug arm of the
Government, wisely directed, holding in cheek
the leaders of this conspiracy : the other i
through the power of the pcopl, rising in tlu.r
majesty as they did at the lull of Sumpter,
and rallying to the support of the Government.
To this cud the efforts of every loyal press,
and of every patriotic citizen should now la
directed. Let the resolve go forth that the
Government shall be sustained and the rebel
lion crushed at all hazards, and the work is
douc. The Valiandighams, the Coxes, the
Woods, and the whole brood, of traitors and
conspirators who are striving to fasten slavery
upon the couutry will sliuk back into their
obscurity before the awakened iudigu'ation of
a free people.
THE ARMY OF PENNSYLVANIA. — The annual
report of Adjutant General RUSSELL places
the number of Peunsylvanians iu arms for the
defence of the Union, since the breaking out
of the present rebellion, at tiro hundred and
Jlfti/ thousand. This includes the number ol
men in three months' campaign, as well as the
many who so nobly left their firesides and the
comforts of home for the hardships aud vicis
situdes of the tented field in that critical pe
riod in our State history, when the enemy was
ou our very borders. The number in this
home army is estimated at 2d,000. It is un
fortunate that the number of men from each
conLty could not be ascertained, but the mode
originally adopted for mustering in the volun
teers was such as to preclude the possibility
of arriving at a correct result in that uirec
tiou. The continued neglect of the county
drafting commissioners to make their final re
ports prevents any estimate of the number of
drafted men in the field from the different
counties of the Commonwealth.
The New-York Assembly was fully or
ganized on Monday by the choice of the can
didates supported by the Union War Party
—Theo. C. Callicot (I)era.) Speaker ; Joseph
1?. Cushnian (Union Hem.) Clerk, and the
candidates for minor offices nominated by the
Union caucus. The opposition was not se
rious after the election of Speaker.

TIIE PENNSYLVANIA RESERVES.
Gov. C-imiix sent to the Legislature Ylou
"day, the 19th inst., a special message relating
to the gallant Pennsylvania Reserves. The
Governor slates that as oiigiually organized,
1 the laws of Congress and of our State Legis
-1 latere empower him to commission, as officers,
( those who were previously elected by the men .
l of this corps. After they had gone into the
field, upon vacancies occurring, certificates ol
election were forwarded and commissions i.s
--' sued thereon eutii some time iu July last, when
an order was issued from the Division Head
quarters, directing that thereafter elections
I should not be Leld. The reason assigned for
this was that it demoralized the corps, and
prevented, in some iusLuuces, tne deserved pro
motion of those who had won, hy- their gallant
ry in the field, such distinction. Lists of pro
, motions made by the colonels of regiments,
with the approval of the contm nding generals,
were forwarded to the Governor, who, feeling
anxious that those who had been promoted
should be commissioned at once, a-ked the ad
vice of the Attorney General who, after ex
j aminaliou, expressed his opinion, (iu which
the Governor concurred) that the officers could
not be commissioned under the existing laws
without elections having been held. It was
I therefore illegal for him to issue the commis
sions. The Governor now asks that authori
' ty be given to him by the Legislature to com
; mission such officers who, in view of their ser
-1 vices and gallantry are presented to hira for
' promotion, and thus place this gallant corps
under like regulations as tlio.se which control
i the other volunteer regiments from Pcnnsyl
! vania.
The Governor further suggests that the Re
serves should be allowed to return to the State,
| and placed in the rump at the Capitol, for the
| purpose of recruiting their thinned rank?—a
suggestion which is endorsed by the Generals
iin command of the Reserves. The \\ ar De
i partmcnt, however, has refused to grant this
request, on the ground that if acceded to, ad
I similar applications from oth-.r States would
j have to be granted a', o.

A letter from President Lincoln to Gen.
McCiellan was produced on the Port-:r Court
Martial at Washington, which will be read
j with interest :
; WASHINGTON, Apr - '! 9,1862.
To MAE-GEN. MCCLELLXN— My Dear Sir:
—Your dispatches, complaining that you are
not properly sustained, wniie they uo not of
feud me, pain me wry mu ii. Bunker's 1R
; vision was withdrawn before you left here,
; and you kuowgtho } ■ ess are under v.h ch 1 did
1 it, and, as 1 thought, acq J. weed iu it, certain
ly net without reluctance. Alter }ua leit I
! ascertained that lets thau 20,000 uuoiguniz.i.-d
men, without a field Lattery, were all you de
-igncd should be itft for th • d- h tice ot \*. ash
iugtoa and Manassas Junction, and part of
this even was to go to Geo. Hui Iter's old po
sition. Gen. Bank's corps, once designed for
Mautissas Junction, was divid' d and tied up
on the Hue of Winchester aud Strasborg, and
coold not leave that position wlthout agat u
cXp-e.-li.g the Upper Potomac and the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad.
This presented, or would ] resent, when X! •
Dowell and Sumner ~liou.J bo gone, a great
temptation for tLe enemy to turn buck from
tile Rappahannock a: d sa k V, a.-hiiig;ou. Xiy
explicit directions that Washington, sustained
by the judgment of ail the commanders ot
corps, shcuid be left secure, had been neglect
ed. It was precisely this that drove me to
detain McDowell. Ldo not forget that i wac
satisfied \% itli your arrangement to leave Bank:-
at Manassas Junction. But when that ar
rangemeut was broken up, and nothing was
-übsiitut. d for it, of course I ua.s not saiisSt J
I was COus ! I'll ned to substitute soni-thing lor
it mvself. And now ailow me to ask you, no
VOJ inaiiv think I couni permit the line from
Richmond ri.i Manassas Junction to this c.ty
to be entirely open, except what resistance
couid be presented by less than 20,000 unor
j guiiized troops ? Imsis a quest.on winch the
country will uot allow toe to evade.
There is a curious mystery about the nuin
bcr of troops now with you. 1 telegraphed
ycu on the oth saying that you had over 100,
000 with you. 1 had just obtained from the
Secretary of War a statement taken, as he
said, from your own returns, making 108,000
then with you and ui route to you. You now
say you will have but 85,000 when all en
route to you shall have reached you. llow
can this discrepancy of 55,000 be accounted
f'.r '( As to Gee. Wool's command, 1 under
stand that it is doing precisely what a like
number of your own would have to do if that
command wan away. I suppose the whole
force which has gone forward to you is with
you by this time ; and it so, 1 think it is the
precise time for you to strike a blow.
By delay, the enemy will readily gain ou
you ; that is, lie will gain faster by fortifica
tions and re-enforcements than you can by re
enforcements clone. Aud once more let me
tell you it is indispensable to you that you
str.ke a blow. lam powei es to help. This
you will do mc justice to r.-member. 1 was
always opposed to going down the Bay in
search of a field, instead of lighting at or near
Manassas, as only shifting and not surmount
ing the difficulty ; that we would fiuu the same
or equal iutreuchmeuts at either place. The
country will not fail to note —is noting now—
that the present hesitation to move upon an
intrenched enemy is but the story ol Xluuassas
repeated.
I beg leave to assure you that I have never
written or spoken to you in greater kindness
of feeling than now, nor with a fuller purpose
to sustain you so far as in my most anxious
judgment 1 consistently can. But you must
act.
Yours, very trutv,
A. LINCOLN.
We have a statement, on good authori
ty, that Maj.-Oen. Butler is soon to resume
command of the Department of the Gulf, fix
ing his headquarters at New-Orleans and as
much further up the Mississippi as circumstan
ces may permit. He will he furnished with
ample force to effect the much desired junc
tion with Gen. McClernand, and not only to
open but to keep open the Mississippi.
The national Finanees—Message of the
President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA R I*o3.
Tu Ihi Senate awl House of Representatives :
1 have signed the joint resolution to provide
for the immediate payment of the Army and
Navy of the United States, passed l>y the
House of Representatives on the 14th, and by
the Senate on the 15th inst.
The joint resolution ion simple authority
amounting, however, under existing circum
stances, to a direction to the Secretary of the
Treasury to make an additional issueot SIOO,-
000, Out) in United States notes, if so much
money is needed for the payment of the army
and navy.
My approval is given in order that every
possible facility may be uftbrded for the prompt
discharge of all arrears of pay due to our sol
diers and our sailors. While giving this ap
proval, however, 1 think it my duty to express
my sincc-re regret that it has been found nec
essary to authorize so large an additional is
sue of United States notes, when their circu
lation and that of the suspended banks to
gether have already become so redundant as
to increase prices beyond real value, thereby
augmenting the cost of living, to the injury of
labor, and the cost of supplies, to the injury
of the whole country.
It seems very plain that continued issues of
United States notes, without any check to the
issues of suspended banks, and without ade
quate provision for the raising of money by
loans, and for funding the issues so as to keep
them withia due limits, must soon produce
disastrous consequences ; and this matter ap
pears to me so important that 1 avail myself
of this occasion to ask the special attention of
Congress to it.
That Congress has the power to regulate
the currency of the country can hardly admit
of a doubt, aud that a judicious measure to
prevent the deterioration of this currency by
a reasonable taxation of bank circulation or
otherwise, if needed, set ms equally clear. In
dependently of this general consideration, it
would be unju-t to the people at large to ex
empt bank- enjoying the special privilege o!
citi uluti'j.;, Iroui toen' just proportion ci toe
public burd-.-i ...
lu order to raise money byway cf loans
most easily am, cheaply, it is clearly ncct ; ?ary
to give c*very possible support to the public
en (lit. To that end, a uniform currency in
which la.v s, subscriptions to loans, and all
other ordinary public dues may be paid, is al
most, if iiol quite, indispensable. Such a cur
rency can be furnished by banking associations,
authuilz d under a general act of i'ongrcss,
1 as *t -led in Uij message at the beginning
1 of the present .-e.-siotl.
The securing of this circulation by the
pledge of United States bonds, as hereto sug
- j."r.-'.cJ, would still r facilitate loans by
i: creasing the present, and causing a future
V ■ 11. ILL. I ior suc' i bai.iis. in view of the ac
tu.ll financial embarrassments of the Govern
ment, and of the greater embarrassment sure
to com if the i: Co.. ury means of relief he not
afforded, I ii.il that I should not perform my
daty by a simp! • announcement of my appro
val of the joint rcsoiutiou which proposes re
lief only by inereui-ing circulation, without ex
pre-siug tnv vainest tie re* that measures,ruch
in substance us 1 hive just referred to, may
receive the early tauction of Congress. By
I such measure?, in my opinion, all payments
! will be most certainly secured, not only to the
i army and navy, but to all honest creditors ot
the Goveianient, and satisfactory provisions
made lor future demands on the treasury.
