OUR IMPROVEMENT. The Gazette appears to-day in an improved form, to keep r ace with the very largely improv ed price of paper. We hope our readers will like the change, particularly as it is made en tirely at our own expense, and without any increase in the price of subscript ion ! Jesting . aside, the cLatieued exorbitant price of paper, compels us to reduce the size of the Gdati& but without materially diMinisbing the quantity of realiug matter it has usually contained. Although this reduction does not cave to us one half of ihe advance en p a p e r, w e shall make no change in our terms'of subscrip thin, but eoutiaite to supply the Gazette at the old and Cheap rate of $1 50 a year. To do this, however, while paper costa us twenty cents a pound-150 per cent. more than it did a year ages-and must be paid for, in cash, on delivery, WO are compelled to adopt the cash system, and to require, from this date, payment in advance, in all oases. Our friends will therefore understand that henceforth the Gazette is a cash article, and will be sent only to those who pay for it, and that all papers will be discatainued when the time paid for shall have expired. These may be considered harsh terms by some, but they are the only terms upon which we can afford to print a Newspaper white these times last. When bet ter times come, we shall gladly let up" again: sir Tan BULLION of Washington—a ahinplaster mill of a year's age, and a most im— pudent misnomer—failed on the 22. d ult., with Booth of its irredeemable money in the hands of A. poor and through the army_ Some of the notes of this Bank were in circula tion here.

We shall, As heretofore, furnish our readers with faithful weekly report of the proceedings. THE NEW FINANCIAL SCHEME. The Secretary of the Treasury, in compliance whit the request of the Committee of Ways and Means, has prepared and sent to them a bill.em bodying his views of the financial measures forthe exigencies of the Government. The first sectiontror - t.e: , ......~ raise three hundred millions of dollars for the scoriae of the next fiscal year, and to raise these sums in any of the modes heretofore sanctioned b o y this Congress as the public exigencies will require. The modes include the issue of six per cent. bonds, 7.30 boudi, seven per cent.. bonds, or bonds bearing less rate of interest, and also the issue of small notes bearing 8.65 per cent. interest, and legal tender notes bearing no interest. The Secretary, in a letter to the Committee, expresses a strong desire to have the limits as to the modes of the provisions, and the amounts to be provided in each mode, defined as precisely as possible by Congress. Tne remaining sections of the bill authorize formation of banking associations, to issue notes furnishet by the United States alike in form, and secured alike by United States bonds, but payable on demand primarily by the issuing Banks. The bill, in its main features, is the same as that introduced by Representative Roo per ilarnvigiast session. _ In his tatter .1.-t—o,e-resary expresses his pro found sense of the importance of this measure to the negotiation of loans, to the collection of the internal revenue, and to the security of the people against the evils of an enormous and redeemable paper money circulation. JEFF. - DAVIS'S RETALIATORY PROCLAMATION.- Jeff. Davie has issued a proclamation, ordering the immediate hanging, when caught, of Gen. timer, in retaliaticia for the hanging of Munfurd, by Butler, last summer, in New Orleans, for having torn down an Americas Flag before the occupation of the city by our troops. Jeff's proclamation against Butler is about as effective as Abe's freeing the niggers,—Jeff must; catch Butler before hanging - him, and Abe must get possesjon of fhb niggers before freeing them. In the same Proclamation, Jeff also levels the death-dart at other unfortunates, who have •in marred his mortal displeasure. He hands them over to destruction in the following summary That all commissioned officers in the com mand of Benjamin F. Butler be declared not en titled to be considered as soldiers engaged in honorable warfare, but as robbers and criminals deserviug death; and that they and each of them be, wherever captured, reserved fur execution. ”Tnat all negro slaves captured in arms be at once delivered over to the executive authorities of the respective States to which they belong, to. be.desit with according to the laws of said States. "Teat the like orders be executed in all cases with respect to all commissioned officera of the United States. when, found serving in company with said staves in Insurrection against the au thorities of the different States of this Confede, racy." WEST VIEGINIS..—A dispatch from Washington says the indicaticue•arc lOW quite positive that the President will decline to sign the bill creat ing the new State of West Virginia, as he does not feel that any action on hie part in favor of the bill would be in aceordaneevvith eitheOhe Virginia constitution on the Constitution of the tinned States. On the contrary, the act would be clearly unconstitutional, and the precedent a , Most dangerous one. Undoubtedly it would; but ungonstitutional acts and dangerous precedents are not such an coma n things with the present Administration as to excite ••our special wonder." GENERAL BUTLER —A dispatch from Washing ton to the Phila. North American, says The arrival of General Buller is looked for with much interest, as it is now quite certain that there will be some change in the machinery of the Admin istration when he reaches this oily. Where the precise change will be, however, is ylt a matter of mere speculation, and wevnust.therefore wait the development*. That the General will be placed in an important position is, however, cer tain, as the President so stated to a friend yes• terday." GEN.
