There will not be tiny Reporter iesued next week. The next number will be da ted Jan. 4, 18t>0. In the meantime our readers will please ' conshfer the " Compliments of the season" I extended to tliein one and all, with our best wishes for their enjoyment ol the pleasures of the holidays, and many recurrences in the future of similar occasions. ADVERTISEMENTS. — The circulation of the Reporter is now larger than that of any other paper in Northern Pennsylvania, with a single exception, and greater than that of all the other papers in the County com bined. Our columns show that the public understand and appreciate this fact, until it has become with us a serious question how to accommodate those desiring to ad vertise, and at the same time not encroach upon the space devoted to other matters. For the last few months, we have been ob liged to give room for more advertisements than we intended when we enlarged the Reporter. At the same time, we have care fully abstained from publishing an adver tisement of a doubtful character, and re fuse all patent medicine advertisements and all the "favors" of the city agencies. To enlarge the Reporter is out of the question, at the present prices of paper and printing materials. Such a step would in volve an increase in the price of subscrip tion, to which we are averse. Our only re course is to raise the prices of advertising, and after tie- Ist of January next, we shall add 50 per cent to the rates of advertising as at present published. Those who occu py valuable space in our columns must ex pect to pay for it. At our increased rates advertising will still be cheaper in our col umns than in any other paper in the ty. GENERAL GRANT'S REPORT. We have read this document through, long as it is, and while it proves in detail that through General Grant's skillful luuu -1 agcinent the I'iiioii forces were finally snc r cessful —a fact the country believed before --thus still enhancing his fame, we cannot but regret that he particularizes so caret ul- L ly the errors of some of the 1 nion Gener als, while the successes of others are made equally prominent by special detail, thus . forcing upon the casual reader the convic tion that he has strong likes and dislikes • , among the General officers To be sure, • this is a common failing with most of us, ' and it only shows that no matter how great a man may be, he is still liable to be over come by human weakness. Hut there are overruling reasons why one in General Grant's elevated position should avoid such exhibitions, not more on his own account than that of others. In his present posi -1 tion, there is 110 appeal from the record he makes, and if through haste, warped judg ment, preconceived impressions, or aught rlst.' that influences human action, lie should do ait} one injustice, there is 110 reparation. An officer may write in self dclenee, hut it is like whistling down the j wind. lie never will be heard. So that an j otherwise good General, who has been true it to tin: cause, and perhaps done good set vice at other times is thus crushed to the 1 earth. Besides, a general who fails in an enterprise, is sufficiently punished. Surely this was the case with Butler, Seigel and 1 Hunter, whose errors are so magnified in " this report They were true men, and did us good service at other points, and their i-1 errors were so disastrous to them person alty, that our sympathies were aroused for them. Hit! not their mistakes bring pun -0 ishment enough without this fresh and (told 1 exposure y Again. The best of men are liable to mistakes. There is no mention r j made of the grave error that Gen. Sher man made in surrendering to Gen. Johnston. 1- Yot Sherman comes in for a wonderful r share of laudation, and this is all right. He •- did good work, and deserved credit for it. '■ But why, overlook lbs mistakes, mid make those of others an everlasting condemna tion ? Generals Sheridan and Thomas' sue "* cesses almost made the country wild with s joy, and they were, in time, the recipients of extravagant laudations. All right again. We rejoiced and extolled with the rest. But, by Giant's own showing, they were t not uniformly successful. In their eases, a however, errors a it- only hinted at ; and is the country is made to feel anew its obli ! gations to these Generals for their valua ble services, by the lucid encomiums of the Commander"iu-Uhief. ' The reasons assigned m this report, for v following la-e through the wilderness, Spottsylvauia, the Annas, and so on to r Petersburg, do not change the doubts we a have always had as to the propriety of i- ; that route. \\ e pretend to 110 knowledge of military science, and our opinions of ■1 military operations, are formed from re - suits, and not front strategic displays. The 0 : march from the Rupiduu to Petersburg , cost us seventy-five thousand men ; and the question arises, whether this immense e slaughter of good men might not have been avoided by a different arrangement. Sup- I pose the seventy-five thousand men who . were lost, had been ordered to remain on e , tin Rapidun, tinder Sheridan or Thomas, to ■- protect \\ ashington, Maryland and Penn -1 sylxania, and Giant had taken the residue ot the army of the Potomac up the James, and in p.-rson operated against Petersburg and Richmond with his own and Butler's army, instead of allowing Butler to blun der him into defeats. He expected the lat ter general to take Richmond, and nothing j but gross blundering, he intimates, preven j ted it. Had he been there and taken Rich mond, how many of the desperate, and use- I ass assaults upon impregnable intrench -1 ineiits might have been avoided, and val uable lives saved ? There would still, doubtless, have been severe fighting, but' no such immolating 1 rifle-pits to wade up to, no sneh flames of fire to sink beneath, as division after division, on that blasted route through SpottsyJvania. We do not find fault, we only grieve for the cost. The State Department has received a communication from our Consul at Havre, France, dated Nov. 80, 1865, containing j the following account of the rise, progress , and disappearance of the cholera at that port: Cholera first appeared on the 10th day of October, and was doubtless intro duced by an arrival front Paris—where the disease was at its hight—of about 000 German emigrants,-on their way to New- York. There were about 50 deaths from cholera at Havre, principally among the poorer classes in the environs. During the last 10 days of November not a single case hud been reported, and the chief health officer pronounced the city free from all contagious disease, and had been instruc ted to deliver clean bills of health to ves sels leaving that port. The election in Virginia to super sede the present State officers, first up pointed by the Legislature to he held on Friday last, and afterward postponed till Thursday next, has been still further put off by that body, and is now set down for the 10th of January. In the Lower House on Saturday there wss a debate on a reso lution proposing measures for reuniting the State of West Virginia to the Old Do minion. The Judiciary Committee has been instructed to report a bill for the ad mission of negro testimony in the courts. M. H.

The Agitator is to he enlarged, on or about the first of Jan uary, to the size of the Reporter, and will be printed on new type. The Agitator is one of the most reliable and readable papers in the State, and we are pleased to see these evidences of its prosperity and of the enterprise of its pub lishers. The people of Tioga County owe it to their own reputation for intelligence and liberality to meet the large expendi tures which these improvements will ren der necessary by a large increase of,sub scriptions, F. IF PENNIMAX, formerly of the Honesdalc Jhmoerat, lias become one of the editors of the Pittsburg Gazette. Mr. P. is one of the best newspaper writers in the State, and we welcome his' return to the editorial fraternity. tp&y The " Ileou Times,'" a new paper just established at Reno, Venango County, S. i>. PAI.E editor, comes to us filled with the statistics, and history of the oil region.

The Times says that Mr. G. will reside at Reno most of the time.
