aitp affj HARRISBURG, PA WEDNESDAY MR% DECEMBER 14, 1864. PROSPECTUS The Pennsylvania Telegraph, FOR In issuing our Prospectus foy the various editions of the HARRISBURG TELEGRAP.Ef for the year 1865, the proprietor begs to re turn his frank acknowledgments for the very liberal share of patronage received from the people of Harrisburg, as well as from those of the State, who have long been subscribers to the paper. The year which is about to close, has been an eventful one in the history of the newspaper. press of Pennsylvania. More than those engaged in any other busi ness, the publishers of the State have had to struggle to support immense burdens, grow ing out of the extraordinary rise in the price of printing materials, the increase of labor, &c. The increase in the price of paper dur ing the past year, was alone 100 per cent. in advance of the cost of the same article a year ago. When it is remembered that no equal rise in the price of the TELEGRAPH has been made, it will be seen that the profits of the publishing busines are anything but re munerative. Hence, the less circulation most newspapers have, the more money they make. Notwithstanding the adverse circumstances, the TELEGRAPH has successfully reached the completion of another, and will enter on a now volume with every prospect of being able as successfully to meet the business em barrassments of a new as it overcame those of the past year. It will be our purpose to continue the paper in the old political path, maintaining it as a faithful exponent of pure Republican principles, ever fearless in the advocacy of the right and loyalty to the Na tional Government, regardless of the party by which its affairs may be constitutionally administered. It is our highest aim to serve our country through our party—compelling the interests and the policies of party in all cases to harmonize with those of the country. THE PENNSYLVANIA TELEGRAPH, During the sessions of the Legislature, will contain a full synopsis of the daily proceed ings of that body, so that it will really con stitute the best current record of the business of legislation published regularly during the sessions. In addition, ample arrangements have been made to secure the earliest and most reliable reports of news from the army, with such other general intelligence, foreign and domestic, as daily passes over the tele graphic wires. With these advantages, we are put at least ten hours ahead, with our morning edition, of the newspapers of New York and Philadelphia, and by which edition the readers along our different lines of rail road, north, west and south, receive the very earliest intelligence of all the imporfant events occurring in the country. TERMS OP THE'DAILY TELEGRAPH. The DAILY TELEGRAPH is served to subscribers by mail at $6 per annum, pay able in advance. If the advance payment is neglected $7 will be charged. City subscribers are served at 124 cents per week, payable to the carriers. THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH Is printed on a Mrge double medium sheet, with new type, and contains all the most im portant news of the day. Full telegraphic reports of the markets and daily events are publMed in advance of our eotemporaries, and it enjoys a very large circulation. TERMS OF THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH Single copies paid in advance $2 00 per annum " " paid at the end of the year 2 50 Three copies to one Post Office 500 " " Ten " Any pp.ronn getting up a club of ten sub scribers and paying in advance for them, will receive one copy free while the paper is sent to the club.

They will please send a "marked copy" of the paper to the above address. PERSONAL AND POLITICAL SENATOR Wu.son's only son, for "distin guished services in the face of the enemy," has been promoted to a position on Gen. Fer rero's staff. A. W. TIL&YEIt has been appointed Consul at Trieste, vice Richard Hildreth, resigned. GENERAL MORGAN L. SMITH has succeeded General Dana in command of the Post and District of Vicksburg. GENERAL THOMAS has two men in his em ploy who serve as scouts and spies at the im minent hazard of their lives. The rebel Gene ral Johnston offered a reward of $50,000 for their capture. They have been much within the rebel lines, and often in their very camps, but so disguised as to defy detection. THE Louisville Democrot says that the Lieu tenant Governor of Kentucky, B. T. Jacobs, who was recently ordered through the Con federate lines by the military authorities of teat State, is now at Gallipolis, Ohio. The rebel authorities refused to receive the exile, saying that they "do not intend to lot Presi dent Lincoln make a Botany Bay of the South." MAJOR GENERAL ALEXANDER M'DOWELL Coo)/ received orders this week to report to Major General Sheridan, and left Dayton on Tuesday to do so. General Sheridan was the commander of a division in M'Cook's Corps during the Chickamauga campaign. As both are true soldiers, the change in their relations will bo a subject of less interest to them than to others. A PET/T/ON from fifty thousand citizens of Illinois will be presented the corning session of the Legislature of that State for the repeal of the Black Laws of Illinois, which forbid negroes coming into the State under severe penalties. kix..4ones, of Chicago, a colored man of greatteria t formerly a slave but now the ownet - r , : 4 cliwof the finest buildings in the city, is among the most active in urg ing this, matter. Im is noteworthy that the three States which are more directly responsible than any others, South Carolina for this rebellion, are the very have suffered most severely from its e .x:44 • We mean Missouri, Georgia and Virginia. A DEMOCRATIO editor in lowa says his party in that State has taken the degree ()IL L. D. —"Licked Like the Ppyili", . _ _ The Duty' on Paper. We have ever advocated, says the Pittsburg Gazdte, the principle of protection to American manufactures, in all cases where protection against foreign competition was essential to the establishment and development of any manufacturing interest requiring it; but there are some branches of manufacture that do not require it, in order to enable those en gaged in them to compete successfully and profitably with foreigners engaged in the same business. In such cases a protective tariff only operates to enrich a few at the ex pense of the many. To this last class of manufactures, most emphatically, may be assigned that of paper—au article which everybody uses, and in which rich and poor are directly interested. For several years betore and one year after this war began, printing paper, such as is used for newspapers, sold for 9 and 10 cents per pound. In another year it rose to 12 and 13 cents. The third year it advanced to 15 and 16 cents, when gold was at zierily as high a premium as it is now. So far there was nothing of which reasonable men could com plain. But, during the past eight months, the price has advanced from the last mention ed figures to 24@27 cents per pound. This enormous advance is this result of a combination among eastern manufacturers, ail is at least six to seven cents per pound beyond what would yield them a fair and le gitimate profit. The fact is, paper can be manufactured in this country at a profit—no matter what may be the condition of the mo ney market—without any governmental pro lion against foreign manufacturers. Now as the duty on imported paper is twenty per cent., payable in coin, and as manufacturers have graduated their prices just a shade be low what the imported article, after paying that tariff, would cost, it follows that this twenty per cent. goes to enhance their profits to just about that amount. The national treasury is not benefited by this impost, be cause little or no paper is imported; but it does pour some millions of extra profits into the coffers of manufacturers, who, by a com bination, have rendered the wholesome prin ciple of competition inoperative. But sup pose the duty on paper were repealed, what would be the effect? Would it stop our Amer ican mills? Not at all; but it would at once reduce the price of paper about twenty per cent., which would be about half a cent upon every sheet of paper like this, but still ena ble the mills to make a fair profit. We have said that paper can be profitably manufactured in this country without the protection of a tariff. There is no country on the globe more productive of the raw ma terials —rags, straw (which now enters largely into the composition) and the other cheap and simple ingredients, including the neces sary alkalies. True, the cost of rags is very high now . , but a very little importation of the manufactured article will bring down the price of rags to a reasonable figure, and then that importation may cease. The manufacture of paper is by no means in its infancy in the United States, so as to need the fostering hand of a paternal gov ernment. So far from that, there are few if any countries in the world where it is so enormous, so firmly established, or so perfect in all its appliances To protect this great and now exacting interest is only to injure the country, without any compensating benefit to sm - varkuCr 11.11 Ll2O - prtnciple ot . protection or oitrevenue is the duty on paper (which is real a tax on knowledge and intel ligence) justifiable. It is not needed; it yields no revenue; it is a direct tax upon publishers, and through them upon the whole people; it curtails the diffusion of general intelligence, and even enters the school house to levy its exactions upon the fountains of knowledge.— And what for? That a comparatively few rich men may grow enormously wealthy. We most earnestly commend this import ant subject to the attention of Congress, ex pressing at the same time our conviction that they cannot do a more just, beneficial and popular act than to repeal at once the duty on paper—a duty not needed to strengthen and build up a struggling interest, which yields no revenue, and is an onerous tax upon the people, at a time when, in all conscience, they are taxed enough. From the 201st Regiment. CAMP SLOUGH, WEST ALESA,NDRIA., Va Saturday E - - Dr 10. ' ...barday Evening, Dec. , 1864. ED. TELEGRAPH—Dear Air:—The weather in Dixie is as capricious and changeable as the people themselves. For the past week we had remarkable weather—lndian Summer—show ers, warm and evanescent as those of a May day—bright, sunny mornings and calm, de lightful twilights, lasting up to Friday even ing, Alen a snow-storm set in, and the wind blew strong and cold from North-west, mak ing out-door life extremely disagreeable.— This morning we found our camp graced with a bed of snow and ice, three inches in depth, and the atmosphere keen enough to cut the moustache off a soldier's lip At an early hour sleighs' made their appearance—reminding us of the familiar New England song, "Jingle, jingle, clear the way, 'Tis the merry, merry, sleigh." And the streets were literally alive with all man ner of craft, filled with men, women and little ones—ladies of fashion and gentlemen of bu siness—clad in furs, and enveloped in robes gaily ornamented, and the gay carnival given by His Majesty, the Storm King, the first of the season, was kept np till a late hour in the evening, whon the streets looked as though they contained a bed of Spanish brown, in stead of a bed of snow of -virgin purity, as they appeared twelve hours previous ! We noticed some gay teams—fast nags and handsome cutters of the "cupid" pattern—the horses embellished with costly harness and jingling bells, which must . have been burden some to the fast " Morgans " and "Black hawks"—but for the life of us we "could'nt see " the handsome faces, and gaily dressed lady populace, out on a frolic, as we were wont to do in the streets of Harrisburg! Now, I call on my friend and fellow soldier, POW ton, the artist, for proof! How is it, Silas ? "By the piper that played before Moses, you are right, Sergeant, is his answer! There, now! Hurrah for old Harrisburg ! By an order of the War Department, The following members belonging to Companies F and G, who arrived from the respective hospitals where they had been sent for treat ment, together with several others detached fox service in the regiment, were sent to their respective companies, yesterday morning. They left camp at 9 o'clock, a. m , en route for Ptmnsylvaliia: Company F—James A. Drane, Musician; Walter E. Hanteb, Adjutant's Clerk; Samuel Hart, J. El Fought, Colonel's Orderly; John Melaney, J. G. Corbet, J. G. Koerper, Z. Bomberger. Company G—Geo. Cam, Alfred H. Glenn, Jacob Painter, David Sineger: Samuel Y. Weaver and Samuel A. Johns. Notwithstanding the stringent measures resorted to for the punishment of in toxication and rowdyism, there were at least ten or twelve commitments of soldiers and whisky renders to the slave-pens, on yesterday. The venders were fined in heavy sums, their stock of tamarac confisca ted, and the boozy soldiers confined for from 21 hours to two or three days—and, as an ex tra compliment, occasionally a "douse" in cold water to sober them a trifle! There lives near the city of Alexandria a man named Roberts who sells hay to the U. S. Government for $35 a ton, (on a large scale,) yet he exacts from the poor Union sol dier one cent per pound for ordinary tangled oat-straw—material which our whole-souled Pennsylvania farmers gave us by the wagon load, for bedding. What else could we expect at the' hands of secession sympathizers? Produce is advancing here. Country-folks attending market ask 75 cents for butter; eggs 50 cents. Poultry, Si 50 to $2 per pair for chickens; 52 a piece for geese; $l2 and $l5 per had for live calves, and everything in proportion. 'Eriss-kringle" made his appearance in camp this P. 16. I observe a Government team laden with Express-boxes frogit the North; all labelled for the 201st. The boys are walking away from the Quartermaster's department, laden with boxes and packages heavy enough for a donkey to "tote" along, conveying them to their respective she-bangs. The recipients of these favors took as pleased and contented as though the pay -master had been "around." The thought of pay and greenbacks does not for a moment trouble them, if we should judge from the manner in which they dive into their boxes, over hauling the contents ! A two story frame building, on Henry St., near the Soldiers' Rest, took fire this morn ing, (supposed from the sparks of a locomo tive,) and was nearly consumed before the firemen conquered it. A. number of the men aotached to our regiment stood on the bill watching the movements of the firemen, through the Col.'s large field glass; and such a slow, spiritless set of firemen we never looked upon before. At one time we concluded the building was to be burned "by order" of somebody, for we could distinctly see men standing around the fire, hands in pocket, as unconcerned as you pleaSe, never attempt ing to lend a hand. The engines, two or three in number, finally commenced to play on the fire, and Managed to save the building, when nearly burned to the ground. The "Citizens," "Rivers," "Priendys" or Paxton Boys of our native city could have finished the job in half the time; and, in all probability, have saved the building. While Poulton and I were purchasing some artist's materials, to-day, in an establishment on King street, we noticed a fine portrait of President Lincoln, in a neat large frame, sthnding inside a show-window. We stepped up to the door facing the street, awaiting the shop man's pleasure to wait upon us in turn. While looking into the street, scanning the faces of the passers-by, we observed a pretty, rosy-cheeked girl of 16—her face almost hid den in golden curls, which hung around her neck, and fell profusely down her back and over her shoulders--her eyes seemed like two violets, and her cheeks as delicate as:the blos som of the prettiest fuschia--and her lip— heavens ! a ripe strawberry was no compari son! She tripped along blithely as the ga zelle; but suddenly, esping the handsome engraving, she bolted right up to the window —looked at the features of the worthy Chief Magistrate of the nation—and--well, if you ever saw any person eating a green persim mon, or biting into a pod oljgar i p o lr e wa e a have a faint ide_a_gth f r .4" her rosy lip s _ 22 -1 1 - 11knAlFation. We laughed, to some pur pose too, contrary to the rules of etiquette, for we could not help it. More anon. 339 &Romp°. From Washington. Heavy Firing in the Direction of Dutch (lap Canal.
