De' The following article was put
in-type before concluding the above
arrangement with Mr. Evans :
OILaNGE OF TERMS.
$2,00 PER ANNUM IN ADVANOE.
From and after the Ist of January,
the terms of the Messenger will be
TWO DOLLARS per annum in ad
vance, 82 25 if not paid in 6 months,
and $2.50 if nit paid until after the
expiration of the year. We are com
pelled to make this change in terms
to meet the enormous advance in the
price of paper and other printing ma
terials, (now nearly one hundred per
cent. more than it was two months
ago,) or abarialwthe business.
We trust:its increased price of pa
per will sot continue; but from pres
ent indications it 1614 - advance to a
still higher figure. Th. papers all
over the country have set the exam-
pie, and we are forced to follow it
Nothing but absolute necessity drives
us to this step, and we "shall look
with confidence for the continued sup
port of our patrons." We trust the
old and steadfast friends of the Mes
senger will stand by us to the end,
And we promise to give them the
worth of their money. The fifty
cents additional is but a trifle to each
patron, but enough in the aggregate
to ruin the establishment that would
undertake to continuo to furnish pa-
pers at old rates
WESTERN SUBSCRIBERS.
We have a number of subscribers scat
tered over the Western States who have
received the Messenger over three years
and a half without paying us a cent. If
all our patrons were like these friends, we
would "be on the township" in thirty
nays. We again specially invite this class
of our subscribers to "step up to the Cap
tain's office and settle ;" and if they can
not
come in person and settle their sub
scriptions, they can remit us the amount
due by mail at our risk. No excuse for
delay, gentlemen—send along the money
if you want the paper.

THE KILLED AND WOUNDED FROM
GREENE COUNTY IN THE LATE
BATTLE AT FREDERICK SBURG.
By the subjoined dispatch from Gen.
LAZEAR, it will be seen that a number of
the brave boys from "Little Greene" were
killed or wounded in the late battle at
Fredericksburg. Our heart sickens over
the details of this repulse, and at the
tears and lamentation it has bromht to
thousands of hearthstones. Our deepest
sympathies are enlisted for the friends of
the gallant dead :
WASHINGTON CITY, 2 O'CLOCK,
Wednesday, Dee. 17, 1862. •i
KILLED,
Adjutant James L. Inghrain,
Sergeant Joseph Minor,
Privates M. Dill Rinehart and Samuel
WOUNDED,
Capt. Kent, in shoulder--dangerously.
Serg't James Woods, in the bowels—
badly.
Robert Adams—in the arm.
Solomon Daugherty.
I presume Woods and Kent are danger
ously wounded.
A recruit, a large man with heavy
whiskers, name not known, was killed.
INGHRAM, MINOR and RINEHART were
young men of fine promise, and highly es
teemed here at home and by their com
rades. JOSEPH MINOR was a eon to L. L.
MINOR, Esq„ of this place, worked at the
printing business in the Messenger Office,
was generous and honorable, and we un
derstand was one of the bravest and most
faithful soldiers in his regiment.
NO PAPER NEXT WEEK.
In order to afford our employees a little
recreation during the holiday season, no
paper will be issued from this office next
week.
THE BUTCHERY AT FREDERICKS
BURG.
The details of the horrible butchery at
Fredericksburg will be found in our news
columns. The slaughter has been terrible
and unprecedented, and thousands of
homes are made sad or desolate by the
vain and needless sacrifice of the lives of
our gallant lads. No soldiers ever beha
ved with more conspicuous gallantry than
ours did before the rebel entrenchments
at Fredericksburg ; but no human courage
or daring could surmount the obstacles
they encountered or withstand the "iron
hail" of the enemy, fortified as he was,
and with every advantage of position.
The particulars of the attack and re
pulse are shocking. A grievous blunder
has been committed somewhere. A little
time will fasten the responsibility upon
those to whom it belongs. The public in
dignation, over this last and most deplora
ble mistake of the military directory at
Washington city, is universal and undeni
able.
THE MESSENGER.
We expect our subscribers to "stick to
us," to a man, notwithstanding the trifling
advance in our yearly rates. We had
either to increase the price of the paper
50 cents or reduce its size,—no other
choice was left us. We preferred making
a slight advance in the prise, and so, we
think, will our patrons.
"Big ,Jim" says "It's out of the question
to keep house or raise children without
the Messenger, and in his opinion no live
Democrat in the county will attempt it."
We shall see.
HELP POE, THE SICK AND WOUNDED.
The Ladies of Waynesburg are doing a
good and patriotic work, through the Aid
Society, for the gallant lads who have been
wounded in battle or disabled by disease.
They have already contributed generously
of needed hospital stores, and are untiring
in their efforts in this direction. Their
literary entertainment at the College Chap
el, on Wednesday Evening last, was a de
cided success, and by general request will
be repeated this (Wednesday) Evening,
Dec. 24th. We trust they may have an
overflowing audience, as we are certain
they will have a delighted one.
WASN'T THERE.
"Satisfied of the character of the
meeting. we had no disposition to
attend, and did not attend."
Sig - So says Corporal Evans, in speaking
of the Democratic County meeting held in
the Court House last week. Catch an
Abolitionist at a Union gathering, will you?
If it had been a convocation of nigger-wor
shippers to further the support or coloni
zation of the "contrabands," at the ex
pense of the Government,or to advance some
scheme of Congo emancipation or eleva
tion, or to make Sambo smell sweeter, the
Corporal and "his guard" would have
turned out "eu masse," They have no taste
for white men's gatherings or regard for
white men's interests.
THE HOLIDAYS.
We tender the compliments of the sea
s-on to our patrons and friends. May they
witness many returns of the New Year,
—may they be blessed with health, con
tent and competence, and be free from
corns, dune and bad consciences; and if,
like the Printer, they have little treasure
on earth, may they have a large stock
laid up in. the "better country."
THE lIIINTY MEETING.
The Democratic county meeting, last
week, was largely attended and quite en
thusiastic. The party, in this county,
was never more harmonious than at this
time, and we predict a. largely increased
Democratic majority at the next general
election.
THE LOBS-fa rT ALAVEIi, SW
( ou
Company H. of this Regiment, r read
ers will remember, numbers some thirty
fiv e Greene county lads, two of whom were
wounded in the late battle—Joseph Sny
der and S. Simington.
The list of casualties in the regiment
sums up 16 killed and 116 wounded. Most
of those injured are but slightly wounded.
The missing number 97.
04r Those who have paid us little
or nothing on subscription must not
think hard of us if we strike their
names off our list against the Ist of
January next. This unholy, unne
cessary war has increased our ex
penses several hundred dollars, and
we mist economize or "suspend."—
We would rather economize. If the
Democracy of Mercer county want
a Democratic paper—and they never
needed one more—they must pay
up, and not attempt to "Jew" us
either. The prospects of the Democ
racy are bright and flattering, and
they can afford to pay well for a pa
per and pay promptly.—Mercer Reg
ister.
fte - We hope the "Register's" patrons
will "pdy up,"and we trust the supporters
of the Democratic press generally will see
to it that their organs are well sustained
in this grave crisis in public affairs. If
you want good papers, give them a gene
rous support.
RESOLUTIONS ON THE PERPETUA
TION OF THE UNION,
Last week Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio,
offered in Congress the following patriotic
resolutions. Mr. Lovejoy, Abolitionist,
moved to lay on the table, and all the
aholitionists voting for it, the motion to
lay on the table was carried by a vote
of 75 yeas to 50 nays. The Democrats
and Union men, of course, voted in favor
of Mr. Vallandigham's resolutions. Mr.
Stevens declared that with his consent,
the Union shall never be restored as it was
before the rebellion, with slavery. This
vote shows who are the traitors. The Ab
olitionists cannot escape the record:
Resolved, That the Union, as it was must
be maintained, one and indivisible, for
ever, under the Constitution as it is, and
the fifth article, providing for amendments,
included.
Resolved, That if any person in the civ
il or military service of the United States
shall propose terms of peace, or accept or
advise the acceptance of any such terms,
on any other basis than the integrity of
the Federal Union, and of the several
States comprising the same, and the Terri
tories of the Union, as at the beginning of
the present civil war, he will be guilty of
a high crime.
Resolved, That this Government can nev
er permit the intervention of any foreign
nation in regard to the present civil war.
Resolved, That the unhappy civil war in
which we are engaged was waged, in the
beginning, professedly not in any spirit of
oppression, pr for any purpose of conquest
or subjugation, or purpose of overthrowing
or interfering with the rights or establish
ed institutions of the States, but to defend
and maintain the supremacy of the Con
stitution, and to preserve the Union with
all the dignity, equality, and rights of the
several States unimpaired, and was so un
derstood and accepted by the people, and
especially by the army and navy or the
United States, and that, therefore, whoev
er shall pervert, or attempt to pervert, the
same to a war of conquest and subjuga
tion, or for the overthrow of interference
with the rights or established institutions
of any of the States or to abolish slavery
therein, or for the purpose of destroying or
impairing the dignity, equality, or rights
of any of the States, will be guilty of a fla
grant breach of public faith and of a high
crime against the Constitution and the
Union.
Resolved, That whoever shall propoee by
Federal authority to extinguish any of
the States of this Union, or to declare any
of them extinguished and to establish ter
ritorial governments within the same, will
be guilty of a high crime against the Con
stitution and the Union.
Resolved, That whoever shall affirm that
it is competent for this louse, or any oth
er authority, to establish a dictatorship in
the Urited States, thereby superseding or
suspending the constitutional authorities
of the Union, and shall proceed to make
any movement toward the declaring of a
dictator, shall be guilty of a high crime
against the Constitution and the Union
and public liberty,
STILL FURTHER
One day last week, Mr. Vallandigham's
resolutions which were offered during the
first week of dee session, were again read.
They declare in favor of the re-establish
ment of the Union on the basis of the sev
eral States with all their rights and privi
leges under the Constitution without abol
ishing slavery therein. They aleodeclare
against a war of conquest and subjugation
and against a dictatorship, and condemn
all who act to the contrary.
Mr. Thomas, Abolitionist, of Mass.,
moved that the subject be postponed till
the first of January, 1900. (Laughter.)
Mr. Stevens Abolitionist, said lie coul3
not consent to that without first consult
ing the Executive. (Renewed laughter.)
Mr. Stevens' motion to postpone the
consideration of the resolutions was agreed
THE MEW DEBT.i
The Secretary of the Treasury, in his
report to Congress, estimates the public
debt on the Ist of July, 1863, at $1,122,-
297,403.24, and on the supposition that
the war may last until the let of July,
1864, at $1,744,685,586.80. The amount
yet to be provided for by Congrese, for the
fiscal years, 1863 and 1864, beyond re
sources available under existing laws, he
tate s at $899,300,701.22.
REBEL LOSS MITRE LATE BATTLE.
The Rebel lose in the late battle at
Fredericksburg is variously estimated, but
was probably not more than 500 killed and
2,5N1- wounded.
rierillErf OP all. LWOW
Said the old hero to a friend at the Her
mitage, a short time beibre hie death
"The Abolition 'party is a 'disloyal . or-
Isanization. .Its pretended ,love for free
dom means nothing more nor less than
civil war and dissolution of the Union.—
Honest men of all parties should unite to
expose their intentions and arrest their
progress."
Time has proven that the old veteran
knew pretty nearly what he was talking
about.
ABANDONING THE YOU PARTY
The Guardian, heretofore an earnest Re
publican paper, published at Patterson, N.
J., and edited - by Vanderhoven, known
as the "Passaic Dutchman," who stumped
that State for Lincoln and Odgers in 1860,
bids adieu to the B,epublicau party, as fol
lows :
"We cut loose from the Republican
party because the testament of their origin
is finished and the book is closed. No
other has been opened that we are tt, party
to. The cohesion of the spoils, and the
plentitude of rower in which the little men,
now made great, revel and become arro
gant, we have no part or lot in. * * *
We abandon no defeated or broken down
organization on account of fallen fortunes
and desperate prospects ; but one on the
high tide of prosperity, with a paper cur
rency of wonderful fecundity, reaching
higher and stooping lower than that of
any scheme of the most visionary dreamer.
With the writ of habeas corpus suspended
in States known to be loyal and at peace
with the government. With Provost
Marshals in every State, above and beyond
Stag' law, and an army and a navy such
as the world has never seen. With a peo
ple who for patience and self-abnegation,
the most absolute monarch of the most
irresponsible age could not have anything
more to wish for. Riches and honors, or
what passes for such, are in the hands of
the party as a party, whose ranks we to
day, as journalists, abandon for the purer.
and we believe the truer path of duty."
DEMOCRATIC COUNTY MEETING.
A large and respectable meeting of the
Democracy of Greene county was held in
th e Court House on Tuesday Evening,
Dec. 16th.
JOSEPII (f.. RITCHIE, Esq., Chairman of
the County Comfiaittee, stated the objects
of the meeting, and moved its organization
by calling SAMUEL VANATTA, Esq., of Rich
hill, to the Chair. The following addi
tional officers were then chosen :
Vice Presidents—Hon. Thos. P.
Pollock, of Morgan ; Gria.h Spragg,
Wayne; Jacob Shriver, Whiteley;
Joseph Sedgwick, Jefferson ; T.s.-ael
Brees, Morris.
Secretaries—Jas. A. Black, Esq.,
Monongahela;justus F. Temple, Esq.
Marion.
The following gentlemen were selected
as the Committee on Resolutions :
Col. R. W. Jones, Chairman, Ma
rion ; John T, Hook, Franklin ; Jer
emiah Spragg, Wayne; Elijah Chal
n, Esq., Whiteley; Silas Barnes ;
Esq., Washington ; Wm. Hickman,
Esq., Perry; Phillip Minor, Mononga
hela; Daniel Donley, Dunkard; Jas.
E. Hartley, Cumberland; Jeremiah
Stewart, Esq., Greene ; Joseph F.
Randolph, Esq., Jeffersop ; Morgan
Bell, Morgan ; George Wolf, Esq.,
Morris; John Conkey, Esq., Riehhill;
Stephen H. Adamson, Centre, James
Meeks, Jackson ; William Hoskinsou,
Springhill; W. J. Bryan, Esq., Allep
po; George Hannan, Esq., Gilmore.
During the absence of the Committee,
able and eloquent speeches were made by
J. A. J. BUCHANAN and DAvin CRAWFORD,
Esqs.
On motion of A.A. Purman, Esq.. it was
Resolved, That Hon. Jonathan Gar
rard be Senatorial, and W. T. H.
Pauley Representative Delegate to
the next Democratic State Conven
ti9n, and that David Crawford and
Samuel Vanatta, Esq . s., be their al
ternates.
The Chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions reported the following which
were unanimously adopted:—
1. Resolved, That the Democracy
of Greene county, re-affirm their un
alterable attachment to the Consti
tution and the Union of their fathers;
that a fair trial of more than seventy
years vindicates the wisdom of the
former, and the beneficence and lib
erality of the latter, and that their
perpetuation is a duty of sacred and
paramount importance ; —that, as
Democrats, we can never voluntarily
consent to a disruption of the States
and the destruction of the Govern
ment :—veneration for its founders,
appreciation of its value, and regard
for the liberties and happiness of our
children alike forbid it.
2. Resolved, That while we deplore
the existence of the present civil war,
we are gratified to know that the
Democratic party is in no way and
to no degree responsible for its in
auguration—that while it adminis
tered the government, its legislation
was consistent with the Constitution,
and conservative of the Union. of
the rights of the States, and the lib
erties of the people : and it has at no
time held any sentiment, or advoca
ted any principle or policy calcula
ted to alienate one portion of the
country from another by exciting
sectional jealousies and animosities.
3. Resolved, That the Democratic
party has always deprecated and de
nounced the organization of section
al parties, believing them inimical to
the rights of the States under the
Federal Constitution, calculated or
intended to defeat the execution of
Federal laws; and dangerous to the
harmony and unity of the country,
and that it regards the present un
natural and fratricidal war as origi
nating in the co-operating causes of
Northern Abolitionism and Southern
Secessionism, and in their narrow and
pernicious spirit and dogmas.
4. Resolved, That the refusal of til l s
present Congress to exhaust peacea
ble means of adjusting our unfortu
nate sectional differences, by the
adoption of the Crittenden or some
similar compromise more appeal.
to arms, *as in distance of tbe
triotic petitions of the people, and
clearly dictated a settled purpose on
the p f the Republicans of that
body to plunge the eountry into a
civil war r with the .view and hope of
abolishing,negro slavery.
5. Resolved, That the -recent Proc
lamation of the President declaring
the freedom of the slaves from and
after the let of January, 1863, can
be productive of no good result to
ward crushing the rebellion, is a mea
sure wholly , beyond and outside the
limits of Federal and Executive au
thority, and in the language of Mr.
Lincoln himself to a deputation of
his Chicago friends, will only have
the effect to make the revolted States
"more firm and determined in their
resistance to the Government ;" and,
besides, the projects of emancipation
and colonization, it consummated,
would be at incalculable expense to
the people of the loyal States and an
imposition on the waits laboring men
of the North.
6. Resolved, That the declaration
of Senator Hale made on the floor of
the Senate during the last session of
Congress that "upon his responsibil
ity as a Senator he believed the lib
erties of the country were in greater
danger from the corruptions and
from the profligacy of the various
Departments than from the enemy
in the field," and the equally
start
ling declaration of another distin
guished Republican in the other
House, (Mr. Dawes, of Massachu
setts,) that in "the first year of a Re
publican Administration which came
irto power under professions of re
form retrenchment, there is indubita
ble evidence abroad that somebody
has plundered the public treasury
well nigh in a single year as much as
the entire current yearly expenses of
the Government during the preced
ing Administration," are fully borne
out by the disclosures proved before
Congressional Committees (a majori
ty of whom were Republicans,) and
that the reckless extravagance of
the party in power renders a speedy
change of public servants absolutely
necessary to rigid economy and strict
accountability in the administration
of the public affairs.
7. Resolved, That this government
was established for the benefit of
white men, and their posterity for
ever; and that the lavish expendi
ture of the public moniss in feeding
and clothing vast numbers of idle
negroes, to the neglect of the fami
lies of our patriotic soldiers, and of
destitute and unfortunate whites
at the North, demonstrate as well
the improvidence and fanaticism as
the false philanthropy of our Aboli
tion rulers.
8. Resolved, That the Democratic
and Conservative members of Con
gress, who have steadfastly resisted
all encroachments upon the Constitu
tional rights of the States, and of the
people, are entitled to our confidence
and gratitude for their faithfulness
to their obligatiens, and to the great
principles of democratic liberty, in
these times of terror and oppression,
and of general recreancy to public du
ties and trusts.
9. Resolved, That the arbitrary and
indiscriminate arrest of citizens of
the loyal States, on the false and ab
surd pretext of hostility to the na
tional cause, and sympathy with an
atrocious rebellion, has been not on
ly in violation of the personal liberty
of the citizen, but fraught with ser
ious mischief to the country, and cal
culated to excite the gravest alarm
and apprehension in every patriotic
mind.
10. Resolved, That we cordially ap
prove and endorse the course of
Hon. Jesse Lazear, our worthy Rep
resentative in the present Congress,
whose integrity and adherence to
the cherished principles of the Dem
ocratic party have been fully recog
nized in his triumphant re-election
by the intelligent constituency of
the 24th District.
11. Resolved, "That while remem
bering with pride the courage and
gallantry of our soldiers in the field,
we tender our hearty sympathy to
the friends and families of those who
have fallen in defence of the Consti
tion and the Union,"
12. Resolved, That the modesty,
gallantry and self-sacrificing patriot
ism of Gen. Geo. B. McClellan enti
tle him to the gratitude, as they have
commended him to the admiration
of his countrymen and won for him
the affection and confidence of his
comrades in arms, and that we are
persuaded time will vindicate his mil
itary reputation, and that the peo
ple will do justice to his high
qualities as a soldier and a man.
On motion, the meeting adjourned
ONE THOUSAND MILLIONS OF U. S
BONDS.
Mr. Stephens, from the House Commit
tee, of Ways and Means, has introduced
a bill authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue a thousand millions of
United States bonds, similar in amount
and form to those authorized by the act
approved February 25, 1862, with interest
payable semi-annually in the lawful
money of the United States, and the prin
cipal payable in twenty years in gold or
silver coin of the United States; also to
issue legal tender notes of the United
States, the amount not to exceed, with
those already authorized, five hundred
millions, to enable him to call in all the
five-twenty and seven-thirty Treasury bonds
in circulation, and cancel them, and au
thorize him to redeem the United States
legal tender notes held as a loan and bear
ing interest. The law authorizing such
loans is to be repealed.
The bill aims at the virtual suppression
of the banks by the imoosition of a tax
of 50 per cent. 'upon all their circulation
over one half the amount of the capital
paid in, to go into operation ninety days
after the passage of the bill.
