THE JOURNAL. Coudersport. Pa. Wednesday, Dec.17,:1862. M. W. McALARNEY, EDITOR. THE RiSIE IN PArElt. "Through the operations of the Nation al Tax Law, the materials upon which we rely for, the publication of a newspaper have advanced in price from twenty to fifty per centutn. The paper maker re ceives for each blank sheet nearly as much as we receive for it after it is printed The price of living and of course the vide -of labor have: greatly :increased. Many country newspapers will be stopped en under the pressure of these hard tiinei; many have already increased their subscription, an 4 oven the diUly papers are about to advance in price ;"—so says the Tioga Agitator land taking warning -, from the pungent hint of the paper dear. 'ers'.bill, it has increased itssubseriptiou. We have been considering for some weeks past, the propriety, and policy of 'increas ing our - subscription price and—have fi nally concluded to 'do so. This conclusion has been reached 'by the 'suggestions of friends and by the more cogent reasons of the duty of all men to pay their debts and feed and clothe themselves. The Joun,- NAL', only paper published in the tiounty, every reader knows that the busi ness ofhi 'county demands a newspaper, and, judging from the patronage our friends . have extended us during te past ; eighteen months we feel secure in believ ing that they will continue their L.upport. rise is wade reldetantly, rod we will of the old rates when the price material will juStify us in 'doing so. Hereafter the price will be ONE DOLLAR AND.FIFTY CENTs,invariqblyin advance. '!'his, change will not take effect until the first of, January next; and'all new sub scriptions, or renewals of subscriptions, anade before that. time will be at the old rates. .Bills will be sent to all those ow ing us,-either for subscription, advertiziug or job work, and it is desired and expect ed that they be paid immediately, LATEST NEWS. From a special correspondent of ;the Tri(mite with Rurnsides's Army, we learn the particulars. of operations at Frecler. iekstitirg. •At, .11 o'clock on Thursday ,morning the pontoon boats were floated 'into the river; when the bridges Were completed within twenty.feet of the sbore, a heavy fire from two or three hunAred C:oncealed sharpshooters was poured upon the men. Twenty were wounded at the twst -- forc—ars.octo.,- Llsora C=.1.11. 13rainard, their commander—by the second — fire . Capt.,Perkins of the 50th New York fell dead,aud Capt. .MeDonald was severely woubiled. The tire from our batteries _ opened at once, and continued without cessation front 53 _until noon. When the fog lifted, fifteen houses were - seen to be in denies. Our batteries rested until S. Gen. Sumner's grand division was at•this time drawn up in line of battle. The 7th Michigan crossed in boats under a heavy tire, and drove out the Rebel rifiemen-- , and wounded fifteen and took fifty prisoners. A drummer boy, only ten years old was in the first boat that crossed. The 87th Pennsylvania, without orders, • laid Cie bridge near the railroad in the tare of a severe file, crossed it, and joined the 7th Michigan. At sunset the firing ceased. The bridges were 'completed in the afternoon, and the order to move was 3SSUCti at sunset. '[he 2d Rhode island started across on the_doubletquick. All he.troups, however; encamped for the night 011. the right bank of the ricer. One g.t the bridges was built by HoLeod Mar • "phy' j s Regiment. Owing to the inability to complete other bridges, the original plan Of crossing at five points was' not carried out on Friday morning. The bombardment on Thursday was at the rate of 500 shells per minute. Some of the batteries used 200 rounds. The Rebel batteries cannot reach the. river bed. Gen.Rurnside had positive inform talon that 20,000 Rebels had been sent to Port Royal, expecting an attempt on the part of the loyal troops to cross there. DEC. 13, 1802.—The great battle so long anticipated between the two con tending armies is now 'progressing. The morning opened with a dense fog, which has not yet entirely disappeared. Gen. Reynold's corps on the left advanced, nt early hour, and at 9 :15, a. m. end 'gaged the Cnetny's infantry. , Sevcri min utes afterwards: the. Rebels opened a fire of artillery, which has continoed so far without intermission. Their artillery fire must be at random, .as the fog ob mructs all view of almost everything. Our heavy guns are answering them rap- It is hoped the fog will soon lift. '.At this writing ne results are known. Not much infantry has yet become en gaged. A portion of the enemy's cav alry crossed.? ford above here, and yes terday were found on our right and rear. A sufficient . force 'has been sent to meet --them. 'Peace Overtures are said to have been made by Jeff. Davis to the President.— The story wants confirmation. It pur ports to be the substance of a conversa tion had with Davis about the last of October, by one Green, or Greene. This Greene says he was sent for at Baltimore; went to Richmond; was to'd by Davis that lie (Davis) wanted to stop the war; and to that end asked Greene to propose to:Xt.-T.4mA) an unconditional amnesty to all politioal offenders, an amnesty which would bITIOUnt to perfect pardon and the 4 restoration of all their rights and property (including Jeff. Davis' coachman); -also the restoration of all fugitive slaves, and a pledge to use the whole power of the country to recapture those who have-got out of the country; also that each section shall pay or repudiate its .Own debts ,atat pleasure. , On 'such a basis; Davis thought a restoration of the Union might effected ! Mr. Davis seemed to be an noyed by the Proclamation of Freedom to the slaves, and casually remarked that "it would play h—i with us." Mr.iDa vis (or Greene for him) was confident that if Mr. Lincoln rejected these propo sitions, the .people of the North would raise a howl' about his ears. (Was 'this precious story invented to affect the:No vember eketions'V) Greene then goes into a full Vsplanation of his intervievis with President '.Lincoln, his attendance at Cabinet meetings, and other gasconade, which naturally leads to a supposition that he is an immense humbug. And. indeed, a dispatch from . Washington'says that - he is just that very animal, and nothing else. We have from Nashville a brief account of a fight near Lavergne, midway between Nashville and 'Murfreesboro, in which a Union foraging party was attacked bra Rebel force. Our troops fought.gallantly, I and twice repulsed the file. We had two officers and two soldiers killed, 29 wounded, and nine missing. , 1Y AstuNGToN, Dec.444.66Z.—During the day the city was filled. with rumors in regard to Banks's expedition.' Some re ported that it had been landed at the head of the York River, and all agreed that it had not gone south of Hatteras. . ' I have just received information from good authority that Gen. Banks has landed with 20,000 men at Winton, Nadi Car olina, near the licadWaters of the Chowan River. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks has assumed command of the Army of the Blackwaterl consisting of three corps d'artnee, forming a grand division of the : army. , Gcn.Foster will command the left wing, three divisions forming a corps d'artsee. Gen. Peck will comn.tand the right Wing, forming a corps d'arm4 of three divisions. Gen. Augur will command the center corps of three divisions. Gen. Emory will command the reserve troops, composed of twelve trusty regi ments; three batteries of artillery and two squadrons of cavalry. Gen. Banks is already advancing, hay log for Med a junction with our troops at Suffolk. Gen. FOster's army has joined him by this . time. • It may be that Weldon will be taken immediately, but Petersburg must fall in a few days, while Burnside is driving Lee ‘111.1V1.1 %Al rb 014,1, 4,/ V,O01•14 Lb./ "L.* toss of the fork",from Gen.

Thus far the mcitrement may ba,con sidered a great success, and, while its demoraliziiog effects upon the enemy will be very great, its effect upon.the,spirit of the Northern people will be most salutary. Expect stirring news from tile Army of the Blackwater hourly. Dec. 15.—There was considerable firing yesterday between the advanced troops of the two armies. At one time,the Rebels showed a disposition to move on Gen. Franklin's forces. Occasionally the Rebels would throw a few shells alum* oor troops, just to remind us that they lie - 76 still there. With these exceptions, everything was quiet. There is some skirmishing this morning, with considerable artillery firing. The bOdy of Gen. Bayard left for Wasli• ington to day. Be was to have, been Married nest Wednesday. Dec. 15, 1862.—0 n Wednesday, eve uing our gunboats, at Port Royal, about twenty•seven miles from• Fredericksburg were fired into by a Rebel battery from the shore, supposed to number twenty heavy guns. One of the Rebel shots struck a coal schooner, wounding Capt. Simmons, who ha;'since died. Another shot struck - the Carrituck on the larboard side, pushing into the engine•rooni and woundingi H. F. Smith of Rhode Island, who has since died; also wounding Jer emiah-Daily dangerously and two others slightly. The firing was very rapid. and continued until sundown, when the Rebel batteries were silenced. Two schooners at the commencement of tbe fight were lying directly in range of the Rebel guns near the shore - , but were brought off safely by the Teazer. Our gunboats laid off the shore until moraine, when they again opened upon the Rebel battery, but met with nc response. - WASHINGTON, Deo. is proper to caution the public against hastily crediting the many unsup'ported rumors concerning yesterday's battle. Some of them here prevalent have no other basis thah surmise, and are mere inventions in the absence of facts. Rebel sympathizers are responsible for not a few of these fic tions. • .Gentlemen in high public posi- tions repeat the assertion as coming from Gun. Burnside, that he has men enough, arid therefore desires no further reen foreements. • On the march "k from 17arper's Ferry, Gen. Slocum captured two prisoners rcif State, with large quantities of goods for the eneinvandi , ent them to Washingtcio.. Gen.
