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:

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

be, wherever captured, reserved fur execution.

with respect to all commissioned officera of the

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

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. BITHNSIDS ' I3 ARMY.—Mr. Brooks writes
from Washington to the N. V. Exintas that there
will not be another forward movement of the
Army of the Potomac thin winter. It there be
any movement et all, it will be a retroerade move
