A Wokd to ouk Patron. The great ad
vance in tbe price of printing paper is com
pelling 'many publishers to either increase
tbeir terms, to cot down tbe size of tbeir
ibeets, or to suspend altogether. We hope
to be able to avoid all thcae results ; but in
order to do so, prompt payments on tbe part
of our patrons will be necessary. We trust,
therefore, that all who can, will call on us
daring Court next week and pay up their bal

to both paiiona and publisher.
, CORRESPONDENCE 0 THE "JOURNAL."
Washington, Jan. 1, 1863.
; Ma. EoiToa -Thinking the Clear Sold peo
ple might like to bear from tbeir gallant sons,
who have left borne and kindred and friends
to nphold tbe Government and Constitution
established by our fathers, and to maintain
tbe honor and supremacy of the atarry flng, I
would ask a corner in your widely circulated
Journ-il, to record briefly a visit I made thia
evening to tbe Headquarters of tbe 149th Reg
iment of Penn'a Volunteers. Their qnarters
are very anug and comfortable, and better
warmed than many a dwelling, with ahingled,
Instead of canvass roof. I tound present in
a tent I viaited, Mr. John M. Chase, Quar
termaster of tbe Regiment Mr- John L. Rex,
Quartermaster's Seageat Mr. Levi L. Tate,
Regimental Postmaster, all of old Clearfield
county; as also, Mr. D. F. Eilswoitb, Quar
termaster's Clerk aad Mr. R. S. .Nichols,
acting Commissary's Sergeant; tbe former
of Potter, and the latter of Allegheny coun
ty. All were apparently In perfect health,
nor did I see or heir any symptom of dis
content or low spirits. Tbe Regiment has
h: i her to teen detained cnieay on Krovost da
ty in Washington From what I could gather,
I should infer that many of them, at least,
woaid prefer active service in tbe field against
Jbe rebels, to this comparatively uneventful
life. I feel quite confident, that In such ser
vice tbey would do honor to themselves, to
the noble old Commonwealth, and to tbe spec
ial counties tbat gave them birth.
1 waa kindly invited to share supper with
-them; which I did, and a very fair supper it
was too. We had coffee, beef steak, bread
and molasses, with apple pie and doughuuts,
which are not furnished by the Government ;
but were a contribution Irom the Quartermas
ter's lady. On tho a hole, the friends at home
may rest assured, tbat their absent ones are
very comfortable, as regards foid, and lodg
ing, and the necessaries of life.
Should anything special occur worth re
cording, perhaps, Mr. Editor, you may get
another liae from these Headquarters, d. h. b.
Camp -bar Beti Piais, Va., Dec. 23, 1862.
.Dear Row: Since tbe excitement of the
last few days has somewhat abated, I propose
to write once more in acknowledgment of nu
merous favors, and also in regard to the en
gugrroent ol Fredericksburg.
This Division broke camp at Brookes' sta
tion en tbe morning of the 8th, and the aame
evening found us in tbe vicinity of White-Oak
cbcrch eight miles from onr starting point,
and lour from tbe Rappahannock. It was a
hitter cold day, and tbe snow which bad fal
len a day or two previous still lay on tbe
ground, which made it very unpleasant for
pending the night. We remained at this
point tii! the morning of the 10th, when the
3d Brigade, with Battery A, was ordered to
advance to tbe banks of the river below Fred
ericksburg, to protect the Pontoon corps in
throwing their bridge across the river at tbat
point. We reached our destination at 11 o'
clock at night, a few minutes in advanco of
the Pontoon train. Tbe 1st and 2d Brigades
followed early tbe next morning, and by day
I'gbt of the 11th, the whole Division was on
tbe banks of the river. The Pontooniers
worked like beavers, and by 3 p. m., two
bridges were completed. An hour later one
Division c.f Smith's corps waa thrown rapidly
across the river, for tbe purpose of making a
reconnoiaance in force, to ascertaia more ac
curately, if possible, tbe position of tbe ene
my. Not meeting with any resistance the
Division, with the exception of one Brigade,
was subsequently withdrawn to tbe left bank
of the river. At daylight on the morning of
12th, Smith's corpa commenced croasing,
snd by 2 p. m. the principal part of Frank,
lin's Grand Diviaion was aafe on tbe right
kk of tbe river. To better facilitate tbe
crowing a third Pontoon wa thrown across at
early hour, o that soon we had three col
umns moving at the aame time. For the
night, thi Diviaion was asaigned a position on
extreme left, and consequently were o
Niged to do picket duty in tbat direction,
ble the Batteries were moved to the front
M support.
Very early on the morning ol tbe 18tb, tha
rapid picket firing admonished ns tbat soon
we were to have work to do. An immediate
advance waa ordered, and skirmishers de
ployed. Brigade were rapidly formed into
line of battle, and in this shape were advanced
toward the enemy driving in his skirmishers
undercover of the batteries, which studded
the hills In front. By Id o'clock we had gain
ed a wide open field south of tho turnpike
road, and were immediately opened upon from
the plain to onr left by a rehel Battery of
light Artillery, which was closely observing
onr movements. Tbe Are from this" battery
was quickly replied to by Batteries, A and B
Penn'a Artillery, and after an hour and a half
tbe rebels were compelled to shift their posi
tion, and fall back towards the hills. We
bad now driven the enemy's right three
fourths of a mile, and id do more evidently
required additional and extraordinary exer
tion. It waa now 1 p. m. Up to this time
our efforts had been directed against the ene
my' skirmishers in front of the hills, and his
flank, which stretched across the plain to
wards the river. Tbe former were driven in
side of their trenches and the latter out of
reach of oar guns.
Tbe enemy's batteries on tbe hills in front
were concealed by a thick growth of timber;
and, notwithstanding a heavy canonade of shot
and shell, preserved an ominous silence. An
advance was now ordered towards the woods,
and the Reserves promptly led off, while two
other Divisions were ordered to move up
closely on the right. This move was quickly
observed by the enemy, and as our men were
only at short range from bis guns, tbey were
met from the right and left by a murderous
Are of shell end canister. The Reaerves gal
lantly pressed on, and though their ranks were
being rapidly decimated, they succeeded in
gaining the Rail Road, and from thence the
crest of tbe bill. They held their position a
short time, but failing to receive their sup
port on tha right in proper time, and being
overwhelmed by vastly superior numbers,
werebreed to fall back leaving many a brave
man behind, who had sealed bis devotion to
his country's fljg with bis life. While this
scene was being enacted, the four Batteriea
belonging to the Division, sought to divert
the attention of those of tbe enemy, and in
doing so, were sul jected to a most terrible
fire which told with fearful effect. Battery
A, being in a very exposed position, received
more than its proportion of the rebel's fire.
After two or three unsuccessful attempts t
dislodge the enemy from hia strongholds by
assault, tbe infantry were compelled to aban
don the project and tbe fight was conducted
chiefly by Artillery which at times, for in
tensity, has never been sorpassed in the an
nals of modern warfare. This was kept up
till dark, when tbe firing gradually ceased,
and by 8 o'clock we were relieved and order
ed hick to rest for the night. The order was
willingly obeyed, for, during tbe day, the
brave sons of Pennsylvania bad performed
prodigies in phyaical endurance with a cour
age as firm as the everlasting hills, and chal
lenging the admiration of tbe world. No
more vile slander was ever ottered, than that
from the correspondence ol the New York
Press,, to the effect, that the Reserves at tbe
first onset were tunic stricken ami fall hsrfr
I
disgracefully, in contusion. Those who were
1 there and witnessed the scene, know butter;
j aiid tbey also know tbat no body of men in tbe
same situation could withstand such an eofi-
I lading fire from both tbe right and tbe left as
tbat to which the Reaerves were subjected.
-. . ... ....
a uvir severe loss win attest their daring and
their courage,
I will not attempt an estimate ol the losses
of thu Division. The official papers will soon
be forthcoming wb ch will set at rest all spec
ulation in regard thereto. ,Tiie loss to our
Battery exceeded tbat of any other engage
ment, so far as men and horses were concern
ed. We had live killed or who have aince
died, and some seven or eight wounded. We
had also twelve horses killed, one gun axle
broken by a solid abot, and one limber and
two wheels disabled.
During the 14th and 15th, the two armies
lay quietly side by side as if each were loth to
attack. On the evening of the 15th an armis
tice wa abked for by Gen. Franklin, and an
hour was granted in order that we might ob
tain the bodies of those who were lying on
neutral ground. They were all procured with
a few exceptions within the time specified,
and each army resumed its former hostile at
titude. About 9 o'clock tho aame evening
we were ordered to withdraw, silently and aa
speedily as possible, to the left hank of tbe
river, and by 2 o'clock next morning tbe
whole army bad safely recrossed .the Rappa
hannock. Since that time we have been spec
ulating on tbe cause of the movement, and its
probable effect on the progress of tbe winter
campaign and the duration of tbe war; but, as
yet, tbe mass of the Army seem to have come
to no satisfactory conclusion. While some
are disposed to censure Burnside for incom
petency, others attribute tbe diaaster to the
military Directors at Washington and in this
connection, Halleck comes in for a large share
of denunciation. Tho men, so far aa my ob
servation extends, are in god spirits from
the proud conciouiness tbat I hey, at least,
have done their duty, and if there has been a
mistake or blunder in the management of the
late fight, it devolves upon tbe leaders to
make it clear and bear the responsibility.
We are now near our supplies on tbe Poto
mac, but do not know how long we will be
permitted to remain here. Tbe extreme cold,
of tbe past few days, haa driven ua to seek
more comfortable quarters than the miserable
excuaes furnished by tho Government, and
onr camps present, now, all the appearances of
winter quarters. To day is quite pleasant,
and all appearances are in favor of rain soon.
If this should be the case, it will make the
roads next to impassable, aa tbey are in a sorry
condition now.
Mach eomplaint ia being iade at this time
aboot the failo.ro of many tf the paymaster
to make their appearance. There are many
men in tbe army, who bare families depend
ing on them for support, and as this Is the
moat inclement season of the year, they are
anxious to relieve the wants of those at home.
This can only be done by the punctual pay
ment of tbe men, and if they are compelled
to wait much longer their families must nec
essarily suffer much inconvenience.
Respectfully yonrs, xt. a.
A Letter Seekixq its Author. Tbe chief
clerk in the post office, Harry Uhler, Esq., has
placed on our table, a letter addressed to "Ser
geant A. Wallace, care of Copt. Hallande, Fort
Sigel, Winchester, via Washington, D. C." this
letter was forwarded to the Harrisbnrg P. O.
by an officer of tbe army into whose bands it
bad fallen. Tbe Sergeant to whom it is ad
dressed, was killed by tbe explosion of a mag
asine near Winchester, and as the letter con
tains no evidence of the locality in which it
was written, nor of tbe name of the writer, we
thus publish its address, hoping that it may
lead to the discovery of both. ; Will our co
temporaries publish this notice, and thus as
sist in gaining this information. The writer
ol the letter to Sergeant Wallace, by address
ing a note to tbe Harrisburg P. O., can ob
tain her epistle and other information in re
gard to Sergeant Wallace of great importance
to bis friends. Harrisburg Telegraph.
Save the Wounded. Many a man has bled
to death upon tbe battle-field, whose life
might have been saved by a handful pf flour
bound upon tbe wonnd. Many soldiers do not
know tbat gunpowder is one of the very best
styptics. Reduce the grains to dust, scrape a
little lint from some garment and fill it with
this fine powder and apply it to the wound,
binding or holding it fast. Soldiers, remem
ber this and you may sometime save your
own or a comrade's life.

THE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE IS63
Tbk New-York Tkibcxk, first issued in 1S41,
now in its twenty-second year, has obtained both
a larger and a more widely diffused circulation
than any other newspaper ever published in A
mctica. Though it has suffered, in common with
other journals, from tha voluntoering and depar
ture of tens of thousands of its patrons to serve in
tbe War for the Union, its circulation on this 6th
of December, lb32, is as follows :
Daily. 50,125; Semi-Weekly, 17,230; Weekly.
148.000; Aggregate. 215,375. Preeminently a
i'ournalof News and of Literature, Tbe Trlblfce
as political convictions, which ara well charac
terized by the single word Repcblica. It is
Republican in its hearty adhesion to th great
truth that -God haa made of one blood all nations
of men" Republican in its assertion of the equal
and inalienable rights of all men to ' life, liner,
ty, and tbe pursuit of happiness" Republican
in its standfast, earnest, defiant hostility to every
scheme and effort of the Slave Power, f mm the
Annexation of Texas to tbe great Rebellion, to
grasp the empire of tbe New World and wield
tbe resources of our country for its own aggran
dizement Republican in its antagonism to tha .
aristocrats and despots of the Old World, who
fondly hail in the perils and calamities suddenly
thrust upon as by their American counterparts
the overthrow and ruia of tha Model Repubhc-r v
Republican in its hope and trnst, its faith and ef
fort, that this atrocious Rebellion most result fa
the signal overthrow of its plotters, ana the firm
establishment of equal rights and equal laws
throughout the whole extent of onr country,
wherein Liberty and Union shall indeed be '-ono
and inseparable" henoeforth and forever.
Thb Tbibu.ne devotes attention in calmer times,
and to some extent in these, to Education, Tern
peranoe, Agriculture, Inventions, . and whatever
else may minister to tbe spiritual and material
progress and well being of mankind ; but for the
present its energies and its columns are mainly
devoted to the inrigoration and success of tbe
War for tbe Union. Its special correspondents
accompany every considerable army and report
every important incident of that great struggle
which we trust is soon to result in the Signal and
conclusive. triumph of the National arms and ia
the restoration of reace ana in mi to our dis
tracted, bleeding country. We believt that not
otherwise ean a fuller ir more accurate view of
the nroeress and character of this momentous con
flict be obtained than throngh the regular peru
sal of our columns. And we earnestly solicit tha
cooperation of all friends of the National cause,
which we regard and uphold aa that of Universal
Humanity, to aid us in extending its e renlatioa.
