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.

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

Is printed on a Mrge double medium sheet,
with new type, and contains all the most im
portant news of the day. Full telegraphic

SENATOR Wu.son's only son, for "distin

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.

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.

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 _

pose too, contrary to the rules of etiquette,
for we could not help it. More anon.
