Sound Of BallE.

An Albany Zouave Who Was in the Bethel
affair EaJs:
The enemy soon found out where ne were,
aud began to throw their fire into the wood,
but, fortunately for US, they aimed little too
high. Every instant We could hear the balls
whizziug through the air and crashing among
the trees. We could tell each kind Of bali Or
bullet By the sound it made in passing through
tho air. There was one 1ihed cannon, the
balls from which rushed along With y shrlll,
angry shriek, Is 1t may be called, like the
sound Of steam whistle the big. bills and
shel1s went humming along, and there WAS
also the hiss Of grape shot, and rifle and mus
ket balls.

Repeal of the EucIlAh Paper Dut1e8.

after Great Britain will abound with cheap |
books and cheap newspapers. For many ycars
the Goyernment levied an excise duty On all |
descriptions Of paper. At first the duty aver
aged SIX cents per pound on white paper 1T for
books, pamphlets and newspapers, which was
subsequently reduced to four cents per pound,
at which figure 1t has continued for a long
time. The effect Of such duty In the United
Slates would be to mise the p.ice Of the Chi
cago TRIBUNE to twenty five cents per week,
aud send the New York si1 dollar dailIes up to
ten dollars, and cause the news-boys On the
streets to retail them at dime Echool books,
AID magazines, and all our cheap publications
would cost at least IS per cent. more than
present prices. II, on top Of this excise On
paper, the American newspaper reader was
obliged to pay s,ro cents per copy, or six dol
lars year, postage on daily paper, or pna
dollar On weekly, he would only be placed
on the footing heretofore occupied by the
British reading public.

the towns where published, as well as when

two years ago the Liberals, after ; protrncted
contest with tie tories, succeeded in obtain
ing the repeal of the stamp on newspapers de-
nVered in the cities where published. The ef-
feet Of this was to cheaper the price Of papers
one-third in every city in Eugland-reducIng
the general price from six to four cents per
copy. Many attempts were made to publish
penny daily papers, and 8 very few have par
tinl]y hucceeded-depending mainly on their
advertisements for existence. But the repeal

secure footing. Paper can be manufactured
| as cheaply in England as in the United States.
An English penny is nearly equal in value to
two cents.
Penny papers will spring up In every con-
| eiderable town In England, Ireland and Scot
| land after the first Of October, when the new
law takes effect. The great quarto dailies

don Times will be sold for two pence. Not
long eince It charged six pence, Or about
eleven cents per copy. It's present city price,

four pence.

him to be knight of the reasonable

was kept secret until several of the
traitors had been arrested. Three of
them are now in Fort Lafayette. Brock
inridge got wind of his danger in sea-

in business, land warrants, under the

100000 acres, have been located
during the year ending June 3Oth.
The balance remaining out is very
small. The United States Government
now owns 100000 acres, which have
been surveyed, offered for sale, and
ready for private entry. Besides this,
nearly AZ, 900, 200 acres have been sur
veyed, but not put in the market, which
may be taken by pre-emptors. This is
exclusive Of the immense tracts OF
land which have not been surveyed, in
