pail D Etlegrao. HARRISBURG, PA Wednesday Evening, December ID, 1801 TEE PAPER FAMINE. The country has never suffered so severely for paper, and all departments of trade and business begin to feel the famine. In the pub lishing, the want is felt more than in any other business, and particularly is that want pressing and embarrassing on newspaper pub- Ushers. Some of these are suggesting all sorts of remedies. Among the best that we have yet seen in this particular is a suggestion made by the New York Evening Post. That journal says that the inventive spirit of our people is already stirred by the scarcity of paper ; and we shall be much surprised if, before very long, we do not find such new contrivances and discov6ries in use flb will bring printing paper down again to at least moderate prices. A considerable variety of new materials has been suggested. In Switz erland, it seems, a large paper mill is now using as stock the husks of Indian corn, and we hear that samples of this husk paper are in possession of the government at Washington, which show it to be of very good quality. Now corn husks are very abundant with us. Except to stuff mattresses, this substance has not hitherto been used. In some parts of the West the farmers burn the husks ; and wherever the land is ma nured, they turn them into the manure heap, or use them as litter for cattle. If, then, it is really possible to make good paper of corn husks, our western farmers have a new source of profit open to them ; and •no doubt paper makers can obtain a considerable supply of this material at once, and an unlimited supply from the next year's crop.— The Illinois Prairie Farmer gives notice that the "bagasse," or refuse of the sorghum plant, after the juice has been pressed from it for the man ufacture of sugar, has been proved by experi ment very useful to mix with rags for the man ufacture of paper. "A mill on the Fox river," say. the Farmer, "is already using considerable quantities of it in the manufacture of wrapping paper, and the proprietors are putting in the necessary machinery for preparing it for print ing paper. When completed they will use from two to three tons per day." A paper maker in Orange county, in this state, makes strong brown wrapping paper of the fibre of a plant called the "cat tail." In New Marlboro', Mas sachusetts, paper is made of bass and beech wood ; and we believe one of the weeklies of this city is printed on this. Nor is this all. Mr. E. G. Squier, who has made the subject of fibre-producing plants a study for several years, and in different countries, asserts that we have an immense supply of good paper-stock now at hand, in the refuse of flax, which is thrown away from the oil mills in Ohio, Illinois and other western states. Mr. Squier asserts that a fourth of this refuse, in weight, is first class paper-stock, and he esti mates that there should be 'available of this, from the present crop, not less than fourteen thousand tons, worth at present rates two mil lion dollars. It seems that the needful machi nery to clean and prepare this flax is readily obtained. Professor A. K. Eaton, of Brooklyn, has, we are informed, perfected some new ma chinery for the manufacture of paper from straw, by which he hopes to make a more per fect straw paper than has yet been produced. Mr. G. P. Putnam has just published an edition of Mr. Kirke's "Among the Pines," printed on straw paper of a better quality than common, and quite equal in appearance to the paper on which books were usually printed in this coun try thirty years ago. In order to be available, it is necessary that any new substance to be used in the paper manufacture should already exist in abundance; should be cheap and easy of transport ; and finally, that it may be used in the mills and worked up by the - machinery already existing. Manufacturers will hesitate to alter their ma chinery, at considerable expense, to work up stuff the use of which is yet an experiment. There is reason to believe that the price of paper has been increased more rapidly than the scarcity of paper stock made necessary, by a combination of the leading paper manufacturers of thu country for that purpose.. 'the "Paper Makers' Association" of the United States means, it is said, to fix the price of every kind of paper, to regulate the time of working in the mills, and to exercise a general control over the production of paper in this country. This monstrous interference with the natural course of a great and important branch of business speaks but poorly for the commercial wisdom of its originator.. They greatly err if they persuade themselves that Americans, enterpris- I ing and inventive beyond any other people, can be easily forced to make contributions to the wealth of a corporation of speculators. They may achieve a temporary success ; but it will be at the expense, if they persist, of total ruin in the end THE Tax ON Rya. ESTATE is to be reduced to one mill on the dollar, according to a recom mendation of Messrs. William McClellan, of Chambersburg, Robert B. McComb, of Lawrence county, and M. Russell Thayer, of Phila., Commissioners to revise and codify the s revenue laws, who have been for some mo engaged in their duties in this city, and have now nearly finished their labors. The impor tant result attained is that they are able to re commend a reduction of the tax on real estate to one mill on the dollar, which is a reduction of more . than one-half on the old rates. This will be welcome news to holders of real estate, which has heretofore been heavily taxed. We do,not doubt that the reduction recommended THE TWO RACES. Those in the South who have no other argu ment to sustain their treason, declare that the present struggle is one between races, in which the superior Southern race (as they claim to be) is attempting the solution of the old problem of the superiority of races, by walking over and ruling the inferior race of the north. Those who make this claim areithose who hold that slavery is the true and just condition of labor ; and yet they shrink from announcing this principle of slavery as the animating purpose and sole object of those who are in arms against the Government of the United States. The idea of a war of races does not seem to harmonize with the facts relating to the condition of-Southern society. The radical defenders of slavery are not Southern men "to the manor born." At thil3 time many of the rebel leaders are adventurers from all quarters of the world. Benjamin is a French Jew ; Gen. Beauregard's parents were from Canada ; Gen. Smith is a New Yorker, and so is John Slidell, and hundreds of the rebel Colonels, - Majors and Captains, are drunk en Yankee school teachers. We might fill a page readily with instances, but will content ourselves by saying that the "two races" story is an exploded humbug. The fact is, that the people of our thirty-four States form one great family. There are 125,000 Kentuckians living in the Northwest, and there are hundreds of thousands of Northern men who are among the most thrifty and successful planters and pro fessional men in the South. 1 TUB LANCASHIRE BENKFAOrIoNS, to which We alluded yesterday, are eliciting just such opinions, as we then expressed, from other jour4 , nate. To feed a starving man is an act of 1161 manity from which national torpitude and i ceit should not influence a liberal people,: and on this account there may be a show; of justification for the assistance given M aid the starving operatives of Lancashire.--, In reference to this subject, the Bulletin, of last evening remarks that if there are any that suppose English public opinion is: going to be controlled by any amount of liberality on the part of this country, they mis understand the English totally. They are the least sentimental people in the world. The moat generous actions of others touch their hearts not in the least. They treat every thing as a business transaction, and calculate what it is worth in pounds, shillings and pence, count ing it so much gain or loss, according as it is to be placed on the debt or credit side of the account, but troubling themselves little as to a final settlement. Our benefactions to the starving Irish and Scotch, in 1847, were duly acknowledged in the English papers, but they made the English people no more our friends than they were before. Our various expedi tions in search of Sir John Franklin and his party were formally acknowledged, R and by Lady Franklin gratefully ; but the English think no better of us than they did before. The return of the "Resolute" by our Govern ment to Great Britain was a graceful and touching act of internaConal courtesy ; but a few months after the Queen had accepted the ship, her Government was angry with ours on same petty question, and her press and politi 'clans were threatening war. The Munificent gift of $750,000 from an American Citizen .to the poor of London, was made only a ;few months ago ; but the English press and' public men have been more bitter aping, us, since then than they ever were before. These and a dozen other facts might be nam ed to show that the English, as a people, have no sensibilities that can be touched by acts of liberality from others. They are intensely sel fish. 'They give bountifully among themselves but never concern themselves about other peo ple. They give handsomely to funds in aid of the rebel cause, because the success of the rebel cause will be the destruction of the American Union and a pecuniary benefit to themselires. But they make no veniures in aid of the Union cause, they try to drive our men-of-war from their ports, and they grudge us even the suc cesses we obtain by our own unaided ' efforts. If any theorist could demonstrate to them that the restoration and perpetuation of the Union would be an advantage to them, they would favor the Union and Freedom. But in the absence of such demonstration, their prin ciples oblige them to favor Disunion and Sla very. Such a people are not in the , least likely to, be affected by the gifts of our countrymen. They will accept them as a right, and Will probably say a few civil words expressive of their appreciation of the American offerings, and of a little surprise that such a half-civilized people should know so well what is due to Eng land. But as for the benefactions, however liberal they may be, raising any amount of sympathy for the Union cause in England, let us not encourage such a delusion. The English will be hostile to us until it Is their interest to be friendly. TEE DRAF7' 1N AIASSACHUSE7TS. The draft in Massachusetts; which was to have occurred on Monday, has been postponed until Thursday, December 18th. This State seems to be very slow in_making up its quota of nine months' men for the war, but in this respect is not singnlar, however she suffers in com parison with States like New Jersey and a few others which promptly furnished their contin gents without resorting to a draft. On this whole subject the New York Times remarks as follows : "We have had experience already, that the machinery of drafting runs heavily ; and if it can be made to work no better it is obviously no safe reliance to the Government in - case of sudden peril. A draft was ordered by the Feb rotary of War four months age. It has not yet taken place in the State of New York and other • tee we could name. It was attempted in • or two States, and immediately abandoned use of popular disfavor. In some districts hio, Indiana, Wisconsin and FennaylVania, the popular opposition being disregarded, the enforced conscription led to serious riots ; and in the sequel it is found that a large majority of the conscripts desert and prove of no value to the Government. Iti Maryland, it is alleg ed, that of eight' thousand men drafted there are not fifteen hundred realised in the ranks."

They are aware that the war upon them will be ruthless, if once begun, and that it is. necessary to protect them solved at all bawds. We stated in this column on August 30th, "Until governmenk l makes some arrangement for the traritin of its_ business, through and by means o f Banks, we may confidently prediotlt rneitit have a system of finance capable of sustaining it through,alfweathers. p y is i but fait to state, and the sooner the government understands it the better, that the recent financial courses of the Treasury, in regard to hones, have excited a smouldering opposition amongst the l. banks ; it is not apparent yet byactive measures, but there is no telling when it miy be, and the financial influence of the banks is infinitely greater, for good or for evil, than that of the Treasury."
