SPECIAL NOTICE.
Through the operations of the National Tax
Law, the materials upon which we rely for the
■publication of a newspaper have advanced in
price from twenty to,-fifty per centum. The
paper maker receives for • each blank ■ sheet
nearly as much as we receive for it after it is
printed. The price of living, and of course
the price of labor have greatly increased. —
Many country newspapers will be etopped en
tirely under the pressure of these hard times,
many have already increased .their subscrip
1-tioq., and even .the daily papers are about to ad
vance in price. After much consultation with,
- and advice from friends, we have concluded to
raise the'subscription of the Agitator from
One Dollar —its present pries—toOsE Dollar
and a Half a year. We are compelled reluc
tantly to do this in order to counteract the
sudden addition to our expenses. - This change
will not take effect until the first of January
next, and all new subscriptions, or . renew
als.of subscription,-made before that time will
boot the old rates. We ask our friends, there
fore, to come forward and. aid us by prompt
renewals before the close of the year. ■
The past year has been a bard one fur all
newspapers—city as well ns country. The de
pression in business of all kinds has made a
consequent scarcity of advertising, and adver
tising is, in point of fact, the life-blood of the
newspaper. The Agitator has suffered some
what from this cause, but we believe—and we
say it wiiji gratitude to ojar friends—that the
increased circulation of the paper-daring the
past two yeats has made-more than good this
loss, Our circulation is now pearly double that
of any other paper ever published in the county,
and our list is steadily increasing. Of course we
expect to lose many, subscribers *by the pro
posed change in price,, but no one can blame
os for'making this change. Should the com
ing yoar bring easier times, we shall either re
sume pur old rates, or enlarge the paper so as
to make it a fair equivalent for the price.-
Grateful to our friends for their' confidence
and support for the past-four years, we shall in
the future try to merit both, not only hy devo
tion to their interests, but also by our integ
rity to what we believe to be correct' political
principles.
THE DEMOCBATIO JOLLIFICATION.
• There have been —will always be—occasions
of great public rejoicing. A. victory of arms
over the enemies'of bur country whether for
eign or domestic—a great discovery in physi
cal science—the anniversary of soma great
event, each as the founding of a nation—these,
•nod whatever else marks an epoch in the de-
the human mind in making the
history of jts ijohievements, are, without ques
tion, proper occasions for rejoicing. So too, it
may be proper for a race to display Us joy upon
the anniversary of its disenthralment from
slavery; or for a great political party in times
of peace to become hilarious over the success
of its principles. But looking fram oar stand
point L we..can not see.either appropriateness or
taste in the time,, manner, or spirit of the Dem
ocratic jollification held in this borough last
Friday might.
' Just look at it: It is more than a month
since.the election was held in tbis'State. Not
withstanding the absence of over fifteen hun
dred Republican voters in the army from this
county, the majority for freedom everywhere
was undiminished in proportion to.the whole
number of rotes cast. ' There was no. demo
cratic victory in this county, none in ..either the
Representative, Senatorial or Congressional
districts' of. which Tioga forms a part, and
barely a majority in the State. Small reason
for rejoicing here. , It cannot certainly be
claimed that the jollification was over the late
Democratic victory in New York, for the Dick
inson-Treinaine Democracy in that State united
with Republicans, and the chief argument of the
“ Union-No-Party” leaders in this county before
the election, was, that their friends were now
fighting the Seymour Democracy of New,York I
To those who have watched the dying strug
gles of the sham-democracy in this county for
the last six years this demonstration will ap
pear the most ludicrous of all. Every effort
which has been made to galvanize democracy
into life by making faint hearted and ‘shallow
minded Republicans believe in, its sincerity,
bis been followed by some-indiscretion' on the
part bf the leaders, which alarms and drives
off these victims of misplaced confidence. This
lat,e demonstration following on the heels of
profuse . profession's of patriotism, indifference
to party, nod denunciation of those who be
lieve in preserving the only unconditional Un
ion party in its integrity, will be ; likely to
dampen the ardor of those who were So anx
ious for the abolition of all party organiza
tions. ‘
The* distant reader may ask what this jolli
fication was, and we shall try to tell them. We
consider it a good local item 'although oiir're
porter’s notes aremot full. At about? o’clock
on Friday pyrotechnics commenced,
consisting mainly of the firing of anvils, which
amusement was kept op at intervals for about
twelve hours. About ten o’clock Mr.'Bigoney,
the . popular landlord of the Pennsylvania
House, provided the guests with a ! splendid
supper, after- which music and speeches fol- J A PsorraßLi Spscdlation.—A man named

Another speaker who voted for 0. P. Taylor
and James T. Hale and went the “No-Party”
dodge in, full, thanked'God that he could now
express ing 'sentiments without restraint since
election. Need we say that in all the speeches
of the night the administration and the aboli
tionists (and all men ate abolitionists in their
view who do not believe that, .slavery has the
right to drink out the nation’s life blood) re
ceived ton words of denunciation for every
word said against the infamous traitors of the
South f
The truth is that this meeting illustrates the
unequaled lenity of the administration which
these men met to execrate. The right of free
speech remains unabridged, and none butthe
man who has treason in his heart and on his
tongue is afraid to speak bis sentiments fully.
Never was a people or government so gentle
with traitors as ours. In the old world treason
is a crime than which'none is punished more
severely. Its commission taints the blood fur
generations, but here treason is not considered
half so disgraceful as petty larceny. The sus
pension of the writ of habeas corpus about
which one of tbs speakers became so eloquent,
has never been done in this country, except in
the case of traitors whose arms had been raised
either openly or in the dark, to strike at
the cation’s life. Under all the circumstan
ces of the case, we are at a loss to see what
the jollification was for, or what good to the
i jubilanfcs themselves, to the, party they repre
sent, or to the country they .profess do love,
could come of it. No one denies them the
I right to trieef together for any purpose what
-1 ever, but the good taste of the thing is'not ap-
I parent
—The time will come before long for a
Grand Jubilee when aB who lore their country
can unite in it without distinction of party.—
It is the time when treason shall have received
its death blow and peace shall dawn- upon our
puce glorious and happy country ; not peace
gained by dishonorable concessions to slavery
and those who-would make; this crime thp .cor
ner stone of a hew natron, but a peace based
upon equality of rights to all men, obedience
to the Constitution, and to the enlightened laws
made under i’t, W-hen this time comes let us
all unite in rejoicings—and though many
mothers, fathers, wives, brothers and sisters
will feel sad over the sacrifices made to attain
this wished for peace—we shall forget for
a time that these sacrifices were necessary,
and look forward to the blessings which liberty
and a united country must secure to the gen
erations which will follow after us.
THE WAS HEWS,
|« The news from Europe, brought by the Ara
bia, settles the question of mediation and of
intervention by the European Powers in our
affairs for the present, at least, if. not altogeth
er. Russia holds back, England refuse’s, and
France alons is willing to interfere in what is
none of,lter, business. That both Russia and
. England are-wise they, happily, are persuaded,
and we-are confident that France.will be led
I - . - '» -
into the path of 'wisdom; though it may be
' against her will. .
j The apprehension of any interference on the
' part of European Powers in the war in this
country has not of late been much felt, hut so
i tong as it remained a doubt it was a painful
one. There will be. a, sense of relief, now, at
' its positive removal, and the Nation will feel
.' all the stronger in the sense that it confronts
j all the possible difficulties of the case in the
; suppression, pure and simple, of the Southern
Rebellion. '
Dispatches from Falmouth to Sunday even
ing state that the Sabbath passed qnietly in
oar army and in Fredericksburg. During Sat
urday night the Rebels extended their works,
1 but, as far as could be seen no more guns were
mounted.
Ten Cents were at one time attempted to be
made the standard of pay for a day’s labor, by
the man who is now also attempting to escape
the bloodshed, orphanage, waste, desolation,
and sufferings of this war, Buchanan. He
failed—and what a blessing it would have been
if all hie efforts'for evil bad-been attended by a
like failure. From failing to have become tbe
price uf a dny’e labor, ten cents have assnmed
even mope importance. It now requires ten
cents to legalize theL most-important contract
of a man’s life. .. Without it, ten cent stamp
affixed, a marriage certificate would be nu.l
and void—its'recorded vows like ropes of sand,
its responsibilities like Democratic principles,
and its whole purpose like the Democratic par
ty, a fraud. -Love hereafter cannot Jive on tbe
light of Luoa. The nectar from roses will not
be sufficient fur its nourishment., A marriage
certificate is no lunger a thing divested of the
sordid bartering! of the merchant. It must
have-a ten cent stamp pasted in one of Its cor
ners, the ten above and the cents below the Hy
menial Altar, where Cupid can make faces as
he attempts to-decipher and define wbat’to him

-Friend AoiTAToa— Again it is the hoi; Sab
fWth, so quiet and away in our northern
homes, "But so fullpf activity, and so little re
• speotedin-the army. - This terrible war.and
alt wars, bow they demoralise a country, and
day waste';the hearts “and souls of men!—
Indeed, many a” sorrowful mother will never
aee again thefaoeof her soldier son -; hut how
many another willfail to. meet the same warm,
honest, manly heart, glowing in the eye, and
radient in the features of him who may by for
tune once again return to her, if not a victim
of the merciless engines of war, at least a prey
to the ravages of its demoralizing powers, and
a wreck of the nobility which ‘.he may once
have represented! This istog, sadly true, how
ever much it may be denied. 1 Indeed, there are
some noble exceptions, who never yield to any
powers —never turn from” the path of true man
liness ; but, like jams of rarest worth, ever
beam with the same lustre of soul, and like the
immovable, unvarying star, ever follow in the
same fixed, beaten path of rectitude and no
bility, which so may lose, and so few kevp.-
The soldier’s Sabbath varies little from other
days, and he is thus led to forget the teachings
of his parents, and the first lessons of his early
life. The echoes of the “Sabbath Bell,” long
since have died away, midst the ruins of the
past, and the clamor and bustle of war have
hurried even the memory of the emotions which
moved the sublimer springs of our moral na
ture. on those distant mornings; so that now
it requires an effort to recall them from the mis
ty pages'of distant, and almost forgotten recol
lections. <
Yes, it 5a Sunday, and I sit\hivering under
a little cloth shelter-teni, Which flutters in the
wind, as if anxious to fly away and leave our
household goods nod your humble servant,
without a covering. The dry leaves rustle, and
the bare branches sing the requiem of the au
tumn’s last days, reminding one of the cheer
ful friends at home, and of the many times ho
has sought shelter there, long ago, when he
knew little of life, and scarce dreamed, of the
changes with which it teems. A few oakwood
fires are scattered about, jinder the. trees,
around which the different groups of our com
pany have built their transient homes, and
whose genial warmth outweighs, in point of
comfort the unfriendly smoke which seems to
take its way .without regard to looks.. Wo lie
beside the road, and the constant rumbling of
heavy wagons, which we see' and hear at all
times and in all places, leaves me not forgetful
of what surrounds us and the mission which
brought us -hither. A thousand things are
here which no historian can ever portray, and
none but a' soldier can imagine with anything
like precision.
A week tc-Jay, I wrote you while we were
resting this side of Leesburg. We had heard
cannonading all day, which 1 think was Pleas
antsbn entering Union. That night there was
little sleep ih our camp. The Brigade was or
dered to be [ready to move ut any moment.—
Besides, the! wind swept over the' open field
where we lay with such force, that it carried
our canvas Oyer, and it was feared that we
should all be blown over the ridge into (he reb
el camp. • We did not start, however, till about
ifoon. Oar [march has been full of incidents
which were j new and- interesting to me; and
this vast movement of so many troops through
a march of two, weeks from Sharpsburg to this
place, will undoubtedly Bud a place in the his
tory of Ibis [campaign, and if portrayed as it
is, must become an interesting page to’
Nut that it-has been so rapid, or pßrlntpsTun
usual; but:, rather of great magnitude. We
have made an average of about 12 miles a day,
though ws .have nut been .constantly on the
move. Of coarse ws have traveled a much
greater than the direct distance, owing to the
fact that the whole country through which we
have passed, has been filled with troops, so that
we were obliged to find our way the best we r
could. Onb who has never seen an army on
the march, Would have little idea of the mag
nitude of such u move. The baggage trains
have been reduced os much as possible,'and
yet the train to'Ricket’s division is a mile long.
Saying notlnngjof-the ammunition. One day
our regiment was rear guard for-the division,
and we metj another similar one, which caused
a delay of over one hour in passing, though
the weather was euch that we could . move
through .the ficldsahuut ns well asm the road.
That was a tedious day’s march, though we
made but seven miles. It was 11 u’clubk when
we lay dovfn that night, after cooking our cof
fee, and pitching our tents. Among so many
wagons, something was continually happening
to some one ; tbat.we frequently could not
advance more tjian a dozen paces without stop
ping. - ; ■
Thursday, we marched twenty miles, most of
the way through the fields, leaving’ the road to
the baggage and artillery. We marched a col
umn on each side- of the road. Most of the
way, the walking was pretty good, and yet of
course, it wos more difficult than marching in
the road ; yet at night, every man answered to
bis name, which certainly speaks well fur the
company, and they deserve praise for it. The
men were /applied with cbffee and crackers,
vtud meat, a part of them,!
The weather, until Friday, was tbs most favor-'
able, add the roads in splendid condition. Fri
day morning wo set -out at-7. o'clock, having
crossed -the Manassas Gap R. R., the day before,
and marched to this place in a snow and sleet
storm, which was not very agreeable, making
the distance of ten miles in five hoars. This
brought us to this place, where we remained
over - yesterday, and may remain, I know .not
how long. T see no reason for stopping here.
Yesterday -Pleaeantson drove their cavalry
across pbe Rappahannock, and succeeded in
preserving the Rail Road bridge at the station'
by that name. ' , . ,
. There is one thing which will forever remain
a stigma against this army, and that is the eter
nal amount, of stealing Which is going through
out the, march. There is scarcely a hog, sheep,
or hive of bees-left on the whole route. Prob
ably in most cases the property'mostly be
longed rightfully to the Tlnited States; and yet
this makes little difference. Many a cellar will
be empty the coming winter, and much suffer
ing must follow. It-is not every soldier who
commits such offences; but I suppose the truth
is that there has been mote 'ofitm this march
than on any heretofore. Strung orders have
been published against it, and yet the whole
:bruiy is so enraged against the neutral-power
of'secession which neither claims to be for or ’
against, that few heed eitber conscience or law.
I dislike to fee a home even of a rebel desola
ted; not on his own, but on account of his ohil,
dren and wife. I'do. not oppose the taking of
such property, so much as the. manpner of to
•king4l,'and We know tbat all evils, where at al|
indulged, will be abused, i

move. My impression it that they will mas*
at Qordonsville, and they may do ft this side of
; there, in Culpepper. I have great confidence
in the move oh, foot, sod shall not be surprised
with’the most favorable results.. [Still, great,
armies must move slowly, and ouelehder is cau
tious. [Besides, we are inf jpjod shape to run
supplies down by two. Rail Roads, should we
succeed in driving them to’ either Qordonsville
or Richmond. I know but little about the po
sition of other corps, nor what is doing; but I
presume the movement is general and uniform.
One thing is certain : We shall soon bring an
immense army, against them, and they must ei
ther fight pr retreat, if we.hrefavored at allby
the weather. I shallnot be surprised tc see
our army strongly reenforced by drafted men
before any great’ battle is fought. I understand ■
that delegations have been-sent from different
regiments, to Harrisburg to get men to fill up
regiments In the field. Orderly Pruteraan of
our company, was detailed for this purpose.—
The Bucktails .have sent for five hundred men.
Now, this wouldnot harmonize very well with
the fiiney soldering which so much prevailed in
the early stages of this war, when it was held
that a man mn’st drill from month to' month,
before he would be at all fit.to go into battle.
No doubt, drilling and discipline »re necessary,
but there is some limit; and besides nothing
(it seems to me from what I have seen and
learned from veteran soldiers) does so much to
make a man ajreal soldier, as to give him expe
rience on the .battle field. There is certainly
moredanger in trusting raw men, but that
danger may [be successful; passed, as was
shown in the recent great battles in Maryland.
May we not hope as much in the future?
All the boys are usually well, except some
left in hospitals formerly mentioned.
