Fair Notice to Our Subscribers.
Our subscribers were notified last week of
the late increase In the price of priQtiag pa
per. It was then intimated that we would )
in order to meet this newspaper crisis, be
obliged to make a change of some sort.
stost if not all the newspaper publishers ra
the country have raised the price of subscrip
tion or reduced the xize of their papers. In
some instances both there remedies have
been adopted to save the publishers from an
absolute loss of several dollars per week.
For ourselves, hoping that this state'of af
fairs will be only of temporary duration, we
navo concluded to try and weather the storm,
without making any change in the size of our
paper or in our published terms, but only ih
our practice in relation to them. Though
our terms as published arc one dollar and fif
ty cents in advance, and two dollars if not
paid within six months, we have never yet
demanded, or received, more than the sum
first named, even though more than a year in
some instances had elapsed from the time of
subscription. a large number of our
subscribers have neglected and still neglect to
pay us for the past year. Now, therefore,
TAKE NOTICE
tftat we shall yet continue to publish the
North Branch Democrat at one dollar and
fifty cents if paid in advance. If not paid
•Ivitliin six months, two dollars will positively
be charged. We wish our subscribers to
bear this in mind, as we intend to do just as
We have stated. By punctuality every sub
scriber will, therefore; save fifty cents. We
do uot design to take any " suap judgment"
dh'our subscribers, and will, therefore, give
all in afrears for the pdst or present year, un
til the third Monday of January next, (court
week) to pay us at our ndvancee rates for the
paper. After that date the rule we have
above 6tated will be strictly adhered td. No
one need presume 011 acquaintance or friend
ship for a relaxation of it. Neither of these
will buy paper. That is only procured by
the cash. Prompt payments, therefore, is
what we need and must have in order to pub
fish our paper. We could not sustain our
press at these rates, if we did not do our own
wcrk, and work earlier , vurk later and
roork harder than most people are willing
to do.
Apologetic.
Our reasons, uo doubt, discovered tfinil in
addition to a half sheet iastred by us last
week, it was also about half printed. The
defective printing arose from a change of
weather and consequent hardening of what is
known among printers as the "roller," cir
cumstances over which we had no control.
A new roller, the making of which required
tnonev, time, ekill and .patience, has improved
tftfe typographical appearance of our paper

PASSMOKE WILLIAMSON. —Our reader! will
nearl j all recollect what a stir this negro
philanthropist created in Abolition circles, in
afew years ago. By his pretend
ed love for the negro, he managed, some three
years ago, to ghin the confidence of an aged
colored woman, owner of some property in
Philadelphia, lie drew a will in his
own- hattd-w riling, and persuaded the woman
to sign it in the absence of her husband and
f/Snd*. The will set forth' tb&t'a siriall
atftount should go to her husband, and the
balance to Passmore Williamson 1 ® wife. The
negro woman died recently, and her hQsband
contested the will: The jury declared the
will null and void. So much for negro phil
authopy in Passmore.
The severe illness of one of our com
positors, has delayed the issue of our paper
this week, for a few hours.
The President's Message.
We have been Compelled to chooio be
tween publishing the President's message, to
the exclusion of almost everything Alse, And
lis entire omission. We have chosen the lat
ter course tint as there ife a Very natural de
sire to knbW something of the Contents of
this doctiment, we will briefly State that is,
mainly devoted to the three (Questions of our
foreign relitionb, the finances and eftiancipa
tidti. Our foreign relations remain undis
turbed. In relation to the finances, the
President knows of ho mode which promises
so certain results as the drganization of bank
ing associations under a general act of Con
gress, well guarded in its provisions.
The message favors African colonization,
and 6ays the opinion among the blacks in
this respect is improving.
He endorses the proclamation act of Sep
tember. He says there is no line straight pr
crooked for a national boundary upon which
to divide the Republic.
He recommends the adoption of amend
ments to the Constitution, prop-sing that ev
ery State in which slavery exists shall abol
ish the same therein, before tile Ist of Janu -
ary, 1900, the owners to bo compensated by
the United States. . , ,
All slaves who have enjoyed actual freedom
by thd chances dT tiie war, at any time before
the end of the rebellion, shall be forever free ;
but all owners of such, who shall not have
been disloyal, shall be compensated for
them.
Cougress may appropriate money for colo
nizing free colored persons with their own
consent at any place or places without the
United States.
He urges these proposed articles at some
length, maintaining that without slavery the
rebellion never could have existed, and with
out slavery it could not continue.
'l y \ie Journal of Commerce, speaking of the
message, says :
" The financial propositions of the Presi
dent require no examination at the hands of
men familiar with the laws of finance. They
are rejected at once by the good sense of the
experienced banker or financier, without a
moment's hesitation. Again and again here
tofore such plans have been examined, sifted,
even tried, and they have always proved ru
inous. At the present time especially they
arc unfitted to the wants of the country.
Any great change in the currency, such as is
proposed, would produce commercial disaster
everywhere. Before the change could be ef
fected the majority of banks and bankers
wfould be ruined, the people would be con
vulsed with .financial embarrassments, and
the distress Which would visit high as well as
low would inevitably set the seal of condem
nation on thfci propiosed system. Certainly
the President and his advisers cannot have
any dtear idea of the working of the laws of
money. They need experience in the com
mon affairs of the money world, or they nev
er would have threatened us with a plau so
crude, so manifestly worthlesss for all practi
cal purposes, even if it he not entirely with
out authority of the Constitution.
Mr. Lincoln is evidently in earnest in his
plans of emancipation. Ilis earnestness de
mands that his views receive a careful, can
did and studious examination by the people,
and this they will have. But who can read
them at a momcDt like this and not bo aston
ished at their presentation as a means 6f
bringing to an end the existing wai; which is
destroying the nation ? We are compelled
to say that the whole plan indicates a failure
on the part of the President to appreciate the
vastness of the war, the swift nature of its
mfluenccs, the terrible verge on which the.
country trembles. While Congress is dis
cussing and adoptir?g rmendments to the
Constitution, while the Legislatures of the
States are and considering them,
after Congress shall have done with them,
while wo wait the chances of all the" free
States and seven of the slave States agreeing
to incorporate these propositions in the grand
instrument of our national existence, the war
goea on tearfully, and the blood of the people
flows fast and—if this plan be our only hope
—in vain!
Mr. Lincoln makes that terrible error of
imagining, as the radical men have taught
him, that this war Is a war about slavery
alone, that slavery is the causo of rebellion,
disagreement, disunion. Me proposes to
adopt a scheme of emancipation involving an
immense debt, on the theory that if he can
thus dispose of the slavery question he will
have removed out of tho Way all causes of
discord, tho American millenium will have
dawned, and—no matter what it costs us—
we have nothing to do but live on in peace
and prosperity, with no domestic broils, no
foreign war, no troubles, fto block to our
prosperity, until we are a nation ef a hfindred
millions—then pay our debt and be perfectly
blessed. The theory is strange enough in
peaceable times, it is with solemn sadness
that we see it offered in these days of awful
war. as a means of ending conflict and estab
lishing national peace and union. To us it
appears as impracticable and hopeless of good
as letting go an anchor in mid ocean to save a
vessel that is driving before a tempest, with
torn sails and disheartened crew.
What the People Pay Por.
According to last accounts, General and
: Senator 'Jim Lane' was on his way to the
mines of Cfregoh with a drove ofcattlaon
which he Wtmld make'fifty thousand dollars'.
This is the filiate of his running tb and from
Washington westward promising' in speeches
and telegranVs to f;tlse thousands'of negro and
other troops ! ITis pay of Senator and General,
we prestime, still goes on ; and Wo couple him
with Major General Cassibs M: "Clay, who,
while his own State, Kentucky, is invaded by
i the rebels,'flies from thence to stump .the
State of New York for Wadsworth. The pay,
rations and ti avoliug expenses of this brace of
heroes must bo about one thousand dollars
per month. AV*itH this basis for calculation,
tax-payers can figure up the true value of
their services to the nation, and find a <fuo

Spirit or the Northern l'ress.
•the Cincinnatti Enquirer, in refering to the
demonstrations of the people in welcoming
home some of the political prisoners who
hare been discharged, "no fault being fon*d
in them," says:
The people turned out to welcome them
as martyrs in the sacred cause of liberty and
individual right, which had been cloven down
in their persons. Those who have instigated
and participated in these illegal arrests will
be held to the severest responsibility. Math
ew Lyon, a Democratic patriot of Vermont,
who was fined and imprisoned for uttering
Democratic sentiments in the days of the el
der Adams, in 1793, bnder the sedition laws
of the modern Abolitionists, had hi 6 fine of
$ 1,000 refunded to him in 1840, forty-two
years afterward.
Exemplary damages will be given for years
to every victim of false imprisonment in the
loyal States in 1861 and 1862, during the
reign of terror. The attempt to bind the par
ties who have been kidnapped to an oath that
they will riot seek legal redress for those
wrongs, will prove as it ought, an utter failure*
Somebody has got to answer for the enor
mous outrages that have been committed
against personal property in the last year.
It is no slight matter to seize a man without
warrant and confine him in a dungeon for
months, and then confess that he is innocent
by discharging fiitn without a trial. No dama
ges can pay for such an injury. Of the hun
dreds of Democrats who have been arrested
ih the North by political violence, not one
was legally arrested, nor was ever allowed a
trial, but was pushed in a dungeon without
one; Of the whole lot riot one had violated
A law of the land, or transcended any of his
constitutional privileges. Their arrest and
iuipriionhicflt was simply an act of unmiti
gated and despotic usurpation of power to the
worst and vilest of purposes, and the gratifi
cation of political and personal hate
Thfe New York U'urld calls attention to the
fact that its cotcmporanes, the Evening Post
Times and Tribune, bul a few short months
ago teemed with complaints of the " rose wa
ter" policy of guarding property and endeav
oring to restrain the scMier* from ravaging
the country as they passed through and, says :
Pope's savage orders were hailed as begin
ning of a new era of sterner measures against
the Rebels, and Senator Sherman's monstrous
proposition that to "fight savage* we must be
couie savages ourselves," was tacitly admitted
to be true. But presto ! what a change lias
come over the spirit of their dreams. The
Government advertisedthe sale of some books
left by their owners at Bmufort, South Caro
lina. " This wont do," shouts the Post; „only
barbarians make war on bdoks." " Its un
christian, uncivilized,'' echoes the Times. "The
freedmen, after they have learned how to read
will want whatever books are sealed."
adds the Tribune. And so Mr. Barney is
compelled to adjourn the sale Indefinitely.
We hail all this as an evid educe of return,
ing reasen ; but will these j wrnals be good
enough, now that thej'are s living up the
laws of wat' afid the' usages ofo'vili.vd nations
to point 6fft itid chapter and paragraph that
will justify an enemy in seeking to incite a
servile insurrection 1 lias it ever before
been an appliance of warfare in ancient or
motfe'frt times? Then again, if confiscating
books is so very wrong, what shall we say to
faw? coriffisc'alibg the entife property of a
people with who.n we are at war ? Does
not the Post, Times and Tribune see that in
choaking over a very small gnat, they are
swallowing a very large and very crooked
camel—head, hoofs, humps, and all ?
''Snal! l!>? War Succeed" is the title of a
significant article in the New York tr'orlu.
It asks :
"Who to-day is hopeful of the Sficcess of
ovfr arms, of protracted immunity from foreign
intervention, the conquest of an honorable
peace and a reunited country, save only the
radicals whose mcchinations have thrice cheat
ed us of victories, whose lack of national
spirit invites foreign insolence, and whose
labor of years has been to belittle the value
of the Union which they now pretend :o be
alone able to save ? Who does not say in his
secret mind that the future is unutterably
dark, the hope of saving the nation feeble as
never before 1 Who does not denounce—
friend or foe—the imbecility of the adminis
tration, the vascillations, of its policy the
selfish intrigues of its highest members ?
Who cannot trace to the beginning of the radi
cal policy which now is dominant around the
green baize of the cabinet table, the beginning
and the cause of all our past disasters and our
present hopelessness ? The evils which the
men who now 6way the mind of President
Lincoln combined with Southern extreimti is
to being upon the nation, the same men now
labor to make irremediable. But fur them
the country would have been plunged into the
present war. But for tliern (he war might to
day be approaching its hororable and success
ful termination.
"Of the wai, as tiow conducted there is no
visible end. Of the policy which now rules
in the field and the council chamber, there is
no issue except bankruptcy, foreign interven
tion, separation, and a ruin of States and of
people at which civilization itself stands ap
palled.
T.ie editor of the Louisville Joufnat ought
to be ashamed of himself. Hear him i
"Beware, O, ye rebel Women ! lest the
fierce fire in your bosoms sets in a blaze the
cotton in the same charming region."

CAMP NEAR POTOMAC CREEK, Va., ?
Nov. 23, 1862. $
DEAR MOTHER :
I now take my pen in
hand to write a few lines to you in order to
let you know that I am yet alive, and of my
whereabouts. I suppose you think it is
strange that I have not written to you before
but it is not strange neither is it my
fault. We took up our line of march the
same day, therefore I have had no opportuni
ty to write to any one. While on the
march I received one from you, one from Un
cle Eli, and one from Bishop Harris. I am
glad to get them. It is a great consolation to
mo to get a letter from friends at home.
You may think it is not or I would answer
them more promptly, but I have Worked hard
to get this poor sheet of paper to write on.
We have got no money nor anything else.
We have not received a cent of money 6ince
I sent you the forty-two dollars from Harri
son's Landing. Neither is there any pros
pect of our getting any very soon. IV e have
now sixty-five dollars due us,
I will try to state to you some of our hard
ships and starvation. We have marched
through mud up to our knees, and cold
drenching rains and snow stontis both day
and night. We haVe no tents nor are we half
clothed. All that we hatfe had for the last
three days is fonr hard crackers to the inan.
Yot may think that I exaggerate, but mother
lam not able to picture our hardships near
as bad as tliej* are, and while we are here
fighting for our country, the people of the
North are a fighting us in the removal of Mc-
Clellan. It is one of the most lamentable
things that has ever happened to the Army
of the Potomac. T think this war is getting
to be a mixed lip mess. Tf 1 knew that T was
fighting to free the niggers, I would desert
to-morrow, if I Wa3 shot the sa'm'o day, and
think it an honor instead of a disgrace. I
think Gen. Bnrnside has run ns aground, and
he will run us all under the ground ffhfc in
tends to carry on a winter's campaign. We
are almost smoked to death now. hovering
around the camp fires; I have riot room to
write all that I want to this time. This will
have t) answer for all the letters that I have
received at present. T want Uncle Eli to
write to mo again. I want, you all to write.
Do not wait for me. Give my best wishes to
all of the friends. AH hsnds write coon and
often.

Retaliation,
Jefferson Davis has instructed the Con • f
federate oinm inder in the Missouri Depart- j
ment to demand the surrender, by the federal j
authorities, of Gen, McNeil, and in case his [
demand is r fusel, to h IUJ the first ten fed

d rc to retaliate for the execution of ten citi
zens of Marion County, Ajissodri, by Gen.
McNeil.
A Union man of that county disappeared
from his home, and his friends were unable to
obtain any clue to his whereabouts. There
upon Gen. McNeil caused the arrest of ten
secessionists of the same county, and an
nounced that if the missing man was not pro
duced within a given time the ten prisoners
would be shot. The time expired without
bringing the return of the missing man. Gen.
McNeil proceeded to carry uUi, threat.
The ten citizens were taken out to a vacant
lot placed on their knees beside their coffims,
a platoon cf soldiers drawn up in front, and
the terrible tragedy enacted. To add to the
horror of the scene, only four or five of the
victims were killed at the first fire. The
officers rushed forward and shot the bahtnee
wiili their revolvers.
Yet it was not known at the tiitfe, not has
it been certainly ascertained to this day.
whether the missing man is dead or living.
If the ten citizens killed by McNeil had been
in the service of the rebel Confederacy, the
case might have been different.—As Jit is,
they were unarmed citizens of a State which
is now, as it always lias been, an ally and
member of the United States.— Carbon demo

Since the above was written we sec it sta
ted in our exchanges, that the missing man
refereu to lias returned home, safe and souud.
Whether fhis be true or not, Gen McNeil has
earned for a reputation for brutality
and barbarity, that will link his name, in all
time to come witli that of Jeffries who held,
what history designates as the " bloody assi
zes" in the west of England.— Ed.

About one year ago the town had its abo

Inquisitions. The object was the clandestine
and arbitary arrest of all who would not sing
hosarrnas to Lincoln and his administration.
Hundreds were thus arrested pad imprisoned
without trial at the instigation of tkfcse ma

| THE PRESIDENT AND LIBEI.TY —The Evening
j Post favors the county with the following as
' tounding piece of intelligence, which the order
! of Mr. Stanton, this day published, partially
confirms :
"The President is fully convinced that the
sense of the county 13 overwhelmingly against
anything savoring of tyranny or of military
clespotism."
Is he, IndSted ? After eighty years of
American liberty and independence, a lawyer
from" Illinois elevated to the chair of Washing
ton, has actually learned "the sense of the
Country" favors freedom, and is not altogeth
er indifferent to justice Hhd thb laws. Had
an eneiny put his scorn tipon us it had been
easier to bear. But that an American journal
should thds, in the language of a court flunk
ey, recn>d the shame of the land, is alinost tdo
much fof mortal patience;
Quite too much for mortal patience, a trial
beyond all imagined for Job, is the same
journal's explanation of the process through
which this light has reached the presidential
mind s
"Some of ihe arrests made hare been unne
cessary and unjust, and the administration
has suffered for its mistakes."
The "administration has suffered," mark
you—not the American citizens "nnneces6ari

jg'-y Speaking of the infamous outrage
upon Mrs. Brinsinade's liberty in New York,
a contemporary says:—"All such arrests
and imprisonments will be abolished in this
State on the first of January, with the instal
lation of the new Governor, who will permit
no man to be arrested or detained contrary
to law. And if, after that date, arty one of
the Secretaries who hare authorized such
proceedings, should show himself in this vi

place that it will be found very difficult to
