Pailg Ctitgrafil HA RR ISBURG, PA Wednesday Afternoon, November 19,1882 A WORD WILY OUR PATRONS. The newspaper fraternity are more or less exercised at the sudden rise of printing mate rials, principally paper, which has within a few weeks risen nearly fifty per cent., and the United States tax. This will press unusually hard up on some of us. The rise in material all will feel, but the tax will affect only the DAILY TILLGRAPH, as it alone, in this city, has a circu lation over two thousand. With these addi tional burdens upon us in the rise of material and the tax upon subscripi ion and advertising, we hope our subscribers and advertisers will cx ercis•. some readiness to be prompt in their pay m ate. OiVe do not mean to raise the price to subscribers or advertisers, as some have pre pared, above our advertised rates, but we shall expect all to come up promptly to out terms. We believe both subscribers and advertisers get full value for every cent they pay us. Sub scribers will bear in mind that we pays tax on them, and we must have them pay us. It is rather an expensive luxury for us, to furnish our paper for nothing and pry tax on them be sides, and to be candid, we du nut mean to do it. 'there is no reason for any subscribers put ting us to the additional expense of sending a collector after them. ILTE ONLY PATB TO PEACE. The Washington Daily Morning Chronicle ad mits that at last all sides seem to agree that the only path to peace is through the bloody waste of war. The strongest alone can succeed It is not diplomacy, but strength and the sword, which can adjust this stupendous pro blem, The European nations, England chiefly, now see this thing as we present it. The rebels baldly refuse to accept any other umpire but that offered by the victor on the battle-field ; and the loyal people of the United States hav ing so much to lose, and having offended the seceders and traitors so little—indeed in no one wrong that can ever be respectably charged, not to say decently proved—these same loyal people will never consent to compromise or baiter away any one of the franchises, great or small, which attach to a Government based upon the popular voice, and for nearly eighty years the source of unending blessings to all the hunted races of men. There is therefore a sort of unanimity on this question among those directly interested. The seceding and adheting states desire peace s; and finally see there is oily one way to achieve it. It is true that the ag gressied party would gladly consent to adjust ment on the basis of a recognition of their trea son—a condition which is indignantly rejected by the other and unoffending party, which, hi turn, offers as its preliminary to peace, submis sion to the Federal authority; Bather . ' than this, say the leaders of the rebellion, come pes thence and famine and th- thirsty sword. The day for describing the horrors of disunion has passed. They are felt broil men in the hor rors of secession, and WO figla• against theffriu becguse we know they must be more fearful than the last. If, whether through the forci bli remedy of Fernando Wood or John Van, Buren, or if ttni next Presidential election came off to-morrow instead of two years hooce, Mara, ham Lincoln should be superseded in the Presi dency, the new Federal Executive would be compelled to wage this war for the restoration of the Union and the punishment Of the rebel n with resistless determination to the bitter end. So that the path to peace and to a restot. ration of the Union is either through the bloody waste of war, or by means of that subinissien to the Federal Government which must result when the southern people are convinced that the President is determined to prosecute it un compromisingly to the close. A TRICE OF TEE ENEMY It is nnv positively asserted that the iron clad fleet which is being built in England, for tho traitors in this country, cannot possibly, be ready for use on our coast in lea the* Six months. It is given ass reason for the recent exaggerated : accounts of , this fleet of rebel Iron-clads, that the object was to draw the attention of the federal from taro well arranged plans to attack the cities on ] the southern coast and to operate in southern, inland waters. If the federal government can be paniciaed in regard to anticipated, attacks from a rebel fleet on Boston, New York, Phila delphia, and other important northern ports;, the hope is that the iron -clads, which were tel binged on the expedition fitting out‘to 'attack the, senthern coast, would be retained to defend and protect the ports named. In this the rebels will be mistaken. The fleet of which they boast as being in course of construction in England, cannot be finished in time to be used the coming winter, for the 'remain that the British Government is consuming , `All the ma terial for such vessels which can ,be .Produced for some time, and of course until John Bull is served, Jeff. Davis must welt patiently iOr his piratical craft. In the meantime our fron ds& will operate in southern waters, taking, possession of southern rivers, and hermetically sealing southern ports. And whenithe• Anglo rebel iron-clads are ready to attack what to, the English and the rebels are eupposed to itEkl the defenceless ports of the north; they will be, received with a welcome on which they do net calculate. And thus the tricks 'and designed the enemy will be exposed and frustrated - 'fli ;pinto Twat 4t, gozaibi, wiscoß ohkitike rioters who attempted to resist the draft. anddestroyed several private residencee, have biet , i arrested, marched to the camp of the " th• regiment TT,lttilgatYPg, • at Ittivgaukter Anit tiader.tlie law of that state, entered for rbgnia milibirriantion during the war. t:•,. THE LEGISLATION THAT IS TO COME. The proceedings of the approaching short ses sion of Congress, and the annual meeting of the Legislature, will have a lasting influence on the career and fortune of the country. Fortunately for the people, the war party of the country dominates in Congress, so that even in a short session all can be done that may be necessary to accomplish the.final and complete overthrow of the rebellion. Fortunately, too, the intervening apace betieen the adjournment Of the present and the meeting of the next Congress, will afford the Administration ample time to finish the war ; and even if the struggle should be prolonged until the meeting of the nest Con gress, the power in that body will be with the loyalmen who are to participate in Its legisla tion. One important fact must always be kept in view-by those:who remain at home, during the great struggles for the. government, but who are nevertheless sincerely devoted to its perpetuity. It is this the influence which is in sympathy with the traitors is far more dan gerous than the traitors themselves, and it is this influence which must be met, battled with and beat down in the coming legislation of the country. With our advantages, this can be ac complished, if loyal men are true to themselves. What we want is union, harmony, the good understanding that should animate men really desirous of working out their country's salva tion, and the result cannot but be satisfactory to loyal men, and therefore beneficial to the country. For instance, in the Legislature that is to meet in a few weeks, our opponents will assemble with as many objects in view as they have dogmas to serve. Every man elected on the Democratic ticket, who was not solemnly and directly pledged to support the war, to sustain the National Administration in putting down rthellion, will go into the Legislature with some personal purpose to promote—some ambitious demagogue to serve, or tome revenge to gratify. In meeting such an influence as this, our friends have only to be united. We have but one object in view: Our Country I Be fore this all private interests, all personal schemes, all party purposes must give way. For 'this we must and will be united. Our union will challenge the support and the confidence of the loyal men whom the Democracy in a mis take, have elected as Representatives, so that when results are compared and the facts are fully developed, the state will find itself con trolled by a Legislature essentially loyal in all that concerns the success of the struggle for the Union and for peace. The sentiments of Pennsylvania and of the Union, indicate that the people are devotedly attached to the Union. In no connection have these sentiments been mote fairly developed than in the election of representatives both to the Legislature and to Congress. It matters not to' us who wes elected, the issue was inva riably one of loyalty ; and on this issue every man elected hives his succese ß . Where tbe Democracy succeeded, they won their success by positive pledges of devotion to the country— of a high regard for loyalty—of a strenuous de termination to push on the war to such a ter,. urination as will forever preserve this country from a like convulsion and danger. While this was the eerie, however, we do not believe that all the Democratic candidates thus elected will be faithful to their pledges. • Stich a hope in the honor" of Democracy, would be idle and ridiculous. But while we dare not look for snob general honesty among the successful men of that party, there will be left that bonor and patriotism among individuals which will wofully deceive the desperate men of the same band. :Phe patriotic men of the Demo envie party, will be t r ue to the pledges on Which they were elected, and thus will deceive the cliques .who are now calculi ting tecontrol 'the legislathin of the eouril try., It will leave the country in the hands of its. true friends, . It will leave the Democratic leaders just *hat they now ire, a minority of d ' esper'ate and determined enemies of the country, , capable only of working out their own damnation as -they fail in working out the destnictinn 'Of • the nation. But let .it be remeintiered tilietAl this is dependeint on the union and harmony of the loy.al mom •ef the country. It depends upon the good un derstanding which is to . prevail among our friends both inthe coming Legislature and the " orngress that is to succeed the present body. We have the principle to unite us. Time must prove whether we possess the purpose and t h e resolution to effect that union Tna "Two mantunts of Gen.

The steamer Bloblo,from Havana on the 12th inst., arrived at this port this morning. The grand ball at the palace, which took place on the 9th inst., was attended by Ad miral Wilkes, Consul Shuleldt and others. The U. S. gunboat Wachneett left Havana on the morning of the 12th inst. The Santiago arrived on the same day. The U. 8. steamer Kensington, which had arrived at Key West, reports the eapture of the rebel steamer Arizona south of Mobile. She was laden with clothing, arms and ammunition. The steamers Caroline and Hawkins, from Havana for the south, with arms, ammunition, medicines, &c., bad also been captured. Seven small vessels laden with cotton had arrived at Havana. The same steamer also furnishes advieea from Vera Cruz to the Ist inst. No further engagement had taken place be tween the French and the Mexican. The lat ter were endeavoring to place Puebla in a state of defence. 6everal vessels were wrecked in a recent gale, including a French man-otwar and the Ameri can bark Sheridan and Justice Story, and the schooner Mary Emma. Several lives were lost. Sickness continues to trouble the French fleet. Geu. Almonte failing to receive the con tinned protection of the French, will leave the country. Impottant Naval Preparations, Probability of an Attack upon Charleston Plans for ' Capturing Rebel Ports• [Special Despatch to Me Evening Post.] It is believed here that an attack upon Charleston will not be long postponed. The rebels have been making preparations for the .attack for several weeks, and if they are to be believed, will not surrender the city simply be cause it may be at the mercy of one of our iron dads. The inhabitants will be ordered to leave, and the'town, if necessary, will be consigned to flames rather than be surrendered. So far as I san learn, both army and navy desire that the rebels should take precisely this , course, feeling that it would be fit and proper that this trea sonable city should be destroyed. The preparations for attack are so perfect that there can be no doubt whatever that one or more iren•clads will succeed in app 'the town, at least within shelling distance. Fears have been expressed that the Navy Department would turn aside from its plans of attack upon the rebel ports because of the alarm 'log reports from England in reference to the rebel iron clad fleet said to be constructing there, but Mr. Welles will not delay fora single day any of his projected naval attacks upon ,rebel towns because of any foreign news recent ly received. The loyal Atlantic cities will be Abundantly defended, but none of the ironicbsdi destined for Charleston or Mobile, or any (Muir rebel city, will be detained. The work of preparation has been slow, such are its gigantic proportions; but it is believed by our naval authorities here that the results will abundantly justify the means, and will Compensite for the delays. Those results are almast within reach now, and but a few weeks, 'and possibly days, - will pass away before thril 'ling news from the southern coast will startle 'the country. FROM NEW ORIXMIS. The steamer Potomac, from New Orleans on !the 7th inst., arrived at this port this morning. The U. S. frigate Hartford and gunboat Rich mond had arrived at New Orleans. j The ship John Henry, of Bath, Maine, had Peen run ashore on the Southwest Pass, to pre. N , eirt her from sinking.

The only article yet dis covered that will Cure the Disease of the .Scalp, and cause the Bair to Grow. This is to certify that about eighteen months ago, 1 commenced using STERLING'S AMBROSIA. My hair was short, thin and rapidly falling out. I had tried many Hair Tonics, Invigorators, &c., without receiving any benefit. Soon after using the Ambrosia, my hair ceased falling out, and commenced growing so rapidly as to astonish me. Now my hair is thick, soft, and glossy, and is five feet four inches in length—when let down, reaching to the floor. This wonderful result I attribute solely to the use of STERLING'S Amorous, as since I commenced using it I have applied nothing else to my hair. MRS. LUCY A. BROWN.
