NEwsPAPER PRICES.

Tie EreRiRg Post notes our recent remark
that the Newspaper business (like most others)
had been generally source Of loss rather
than of profit, during the current year, to
those engaged in it, and infers that the class
of journals to which The TRIBUNE belongs is
published at too low price to BIO remunera-
tive, and that the policy of fixing the price Of
a journal so low that very large circulation
will not, in the absence of Advertising, meet
its necessary expenses, is radically unsound,
and so must ultimately be abandoned.
Conspicuous facts seem to us to war against
The Posts conclusion. The number Of the
relatively lOw-priced Journals issued in our
City has steadily increased, while that OF the
hicher-priced has as steadily declined. Tho
Mercantile Adrertiser, The Ne'c' York Gazette,
The N. Y. american, The Star, The Morning
Express, The Courier & Enquirer, are a few
of our City's demised journals, which were
once strong and fourishiDg, yet which ulti-
mately failed for want of support, AID they
were all sold at such prices as The Post consid'
crs wise and just. We believe our CITY haa
formerly ten of the higher-priced journals
printed in the English language to two or three
of the lower: it now has four OF the former 10
FIRE of the latter. Quite recently, hgner'

THE LATEST wAR NEWS.

On Friday morning four hundred Of the Ma
tional troops went to POhick Church, SIX
teen miles from Alexandria, on the Fairfax
road, the object of their movement being
to dislodge a body of Rebel cavalry who had
been for some time pillagiDg the farmers in
the vicinity. The Rebels fled in great haste
as soon as they discovered the advancing
troops, and managed to escape all attack ex-
cept the fire of our first files, which was holly
poured in upon them. The result of the shots
could not be accurately ascertained, but it was
known that several Of the enemy were
wounded, being assisted upon their horses, and
carried of by their comrades. An extended
reconnaissance showed that no large bodies of
Rebels are this side Of Occoquan. A prisoner
captured near Washington yesterday says that
JEFF. Davis, Beauregard, Johnston, and G. w.
Smith, the late ex.Street- Commissioner of
New-York, now MaOr-General of Rebels,
were at Fairfax Court-HOuse the other day,
looking with longing but hopeless gaze toward
Washington.
The fabricated reports concerning Gen. FIRE.
mont and Gen. Wool are finally destroyed by
our Geographic dispatches this morning. II
appears that Gen. Wool was summoned to
washington only for consultation, that Gen.
Mansfield was only temporarily sent to Fortress
Monroe, and that nothing is further from the
purpose of the Administration than the removal

.;....t;oD ox,ress the conviction that his
800, AGAINST the Rebels will be brilliant.
The banks and capitalists OF et' Louis were
vs.terday in consultation upon the question
how they could best sustain him. The false
rsnort of his removal On Thursday appears to
have created in st. Louis an intense excite
ment and much angry feeling. Recruiting for
one regiment was at once suspended, and al
most mutiny was stirred up at the Benton
barracks. A mass meeting was also called to
protest against the step.
The report Of the evacuation of Lexington
by the Rebel, is confirmed, and additional in
telligence resches us to the effect that Gen.
Sturges has probably occupied the place. 1t
appears that the Rebels left Lexington on
Monday afteraoon, the intention of Price being,
as it is supposed, to march on Georgetown,
where part of the National force is stationed.
just as they left Lexington, Gen. Sturges ap-
peared on tae other side Of the river, firing
shells upon item, and the report came to them
that Gen. Sigel, with 10000 men, was ad-
vancing. Pr,ce, on receipt Of this intelligence,
changed his ylan, aud moved westward toward
independence. 1t is stated that his effective
force numbered $4,000 men. The National
troops are mostly stationed at otteville, Sc
dalia, and Georgetown, the distance from
Otteye to Sedalia being twelve miles, and
from Sedalia to Georgetown four miles; Gen.
Pape, at Bonneville, twenty-five miles north
east If SedAlia, has also a force Of some
strength, though the numbers are in no case
definitely specified.

THF UNION MOVEMENT.

So far az we have Observed the Union
movement in our State has brought together
the best portion Of our citizens, and, so far as
nominations llaye already been made, has gen.
orally resulted in the presentment of eminently
fit ard worthy candidates. This result has
not been attained through the remissness but
by the defeat of mere place-seekers and party
wire.workers who sought to render the Poo
PIES uprising subservient TO their own selfish
ends. Those gentlemen are wholly destitute of
preiudices, aud would as soon ride into Office
on ono hobby as another; but they have found
little favor in the Peoples Union.
We have said once, but we say it again,
while we may say it without liability to mis-
apprehension. Do not fear to bolt Boiling is
one of the great conservative elements Of our
politics; and wherever an unfit or unworthy
candidate shall have been crowded upon the
Union ticket, put up better man against
him, or, if that be deemed unadvisable, scratch
his name of your ballots and write that of o
good and true man in its stead. Never fear
that this will "hurt the cause;" it will
strengthen and sustain it. Let it be settled
now that we will not elect bad men to Office,
no matter how Irregular" their nomination,
and we shall not be bothered with them on
our tickets hereafter. Friends OF the Union
movement nominate none but good men; if
others force themselves upon your tickets, take
good care that they be not elected

1t is due alike TO Thomas Francis Meagher
and to the Peoples Union Nominating Com
mittee to state that he had but to say the
word to receive the nomination for County
Clerk at the hands of that Committee, with a
moral certainty that he would have been
elected by an overwhelming majority. But
Mr.. Meagher holds it his duty to devote all his
energies to the War for the Union, and there
fore woulds not consent to be nominated for a
civil Office. We trust there may yet be oppOr-
tunity to attest the popular appreciation of
such patriotism.

the professors will find time, in the midst Of
their engrossiDg and multifarious labors, TO
answer them. If it should turn out that what
five Cambridge professors do not already know
in the departments of light and heat Is not
worth knowing, in their judgment, the proba-
bility is that the medal will never be bestowed
under their direction; but we hope that they
will take care that the fund is accumulated,
and invested in the new 7.30 American securi-

THE YOUNG WIDOW.

She is modest but not bashful;
Free and easy, but not bold
Like an apple-ripe and mellow
Not too young and not old.
Half inviting, half repulsing;
Now advancing, and now shy;
There is mischief in her dimple,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature,
She is schooled in all the arts
She has taken he diploma
As the mistress of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile
Oh, maid is sometimes charming,
But the widow all the while
Are you sad how very serious
Will her handsome face become,
Are you angry she is wretched,
Lonely, fricndless, fearful. dumb
Are you mirthful? how her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring out;
She can lure, and catch, and play you,
As the angler does the trout.
You old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown SO bold and wise,
Young Americans of twenty
With the love-locks in your eyes,
You may practice all your lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But L know little widow
Who could win and fool you all.

THE CoW-BELL DODGE The rebels have re-
sorted to an ingenious way of Turing our men
IN to their snares. 1t is known as the s'cow-
bell dodge" and it was very successful for a
time, especially with newly arrived regiments
and companies which were placed on pickle
for the first time. Approaching within thrt t
or forty rods of our outpost and concealiny
themselves in the woods, they commence ting
irregular tinkle of COW bell. The unintiae

reconcied to drinking his coffee without milk, !,
goes out to obtain supply from the supposed
COW of some Virginia rebel, fiatterng himself
that he had got ssbig thing on Secesh.' -

A BIT OF SOLDIER Boy FUN.-A correSpon-
dent of the Boston Courier who is one of the
Webster Massachusetts, regiment says:
There is little comedy often mingled with
the history of this war drama. A small party
of boys from the = regiment went up to Lees
burg, crossed over the Potomac, and found
themselves in Virginia. After few miles of
quiet walking, they saw over the field large
house brilliantly lighted. OF course they
climbed the fences and crept up toward i un-
til they heard the merry voices of the invited
guests. Here they took counsel, and decided
to advance. ssGlad to see you,'' said the host !;
'sno apologies - what did you do with your
horses? Been waiting for you. Come in and
let me introduce you.'' The lady of the house
presents them with many a smile, as the cav
airy for whom they are waiting. Where did
you get so nice guise 2" 'sOh. we found a
party of Yankees and stripped them we are
after more, you know, and could get here
better by leaving the nags." ssClose by, L
reckon 2" eyes yonder." And in the face
of cavalry that could not be far off, they ate
the supper and politely retired amid shower
of compliments, and something more, if the
chivalrous fellows told no stories about the
s.little dears,'' of that American nights enter
tainment, whose history is yet to be told in
the bazzars Of the Southern Bagdad.

RESTORED TO LIFE.-A singular case of res
toration after apparent death occurred at Alba
ny. a little daughter of Mrs. Wilson, residing
on First street. after sudden relapse succeed
ing severe illness, apparently died. The
body did not stiffen, but every other symptom
of death was present. The remains were pre-
pared for the grave, when, in the night, the
supposed dead child screamed ,and Immediately
the functions of life were resumed. Heavy
Precipitation poured off the body in great guam
titles, and the pale, marble-ike form assumed
a healthy red appearance. When the 'sdead"
child screamed. those present, except the
mother, became greatly alarmed and ran out
of the room. The mother rushed to the body,
enclosed it in her arms, and removed it to a
bed in the side room. The family physician
was Immediately sent for, who applied proper
restoratives, and the child is now in a fair way
of recovering.

of the tories fell either dead or desperately
wounded. In turn the tories retreated up
the stairs. when David, our hero, rushed into
the room which they had just left, and cut the
ropes which bound the Bunkers and their
mother and sister.
''May God Almighty bless you for this -
cried one of the BunEers. The two men
sprang up and seized their rifles, which had
been left in the room, and prepared to retail

Long and desperate was the battle. The
tories fought for life the wings for revenge.
But at length the latter triumphed, though
not until their enemies had been almost en-
tirely exterminated. The Major fell by the
arm of our hero, who sought him out in the
hottest OF the fight, and engaged him single

No language of ours can express the emo
tion of David as he pressed his betrothed to
his bosom and his heart went up in thank
fulness to Heaven for his timely arrival, when
he thought that a delay of half an hour would
have consigned her to fate worse than death.
The gratitude of her brothers was expressed
in many words, but hers was silent and tear
full. yet oh how much more gratifying.

REMOVAL OF THE CoLoRED POPULATION
The annual report of the Pennsylvania Colo
nization Society considers the pract1cability
of the rem oval of the colored race from Amer
lea to Africa. We make the following extract ::
The census of 1860 gives the number of free
colored persons at 499, ,706, and slaves at $780,
343, making total of 4 4.400,052 By the Off
cial returns obtained from the State Depart
ment at Washington, it appears that, from
Sept. 80, 1913, to December so, 1860, there
arrived at the ports of the United States, by
sea, from foreign lands, ,4S6, AL passengers.
The greatest number that arrived in single
year was 400, ,474. From this it is evident
that the free colored population Of this coun-
try might migrate to Africa or elsewhere,
within single year, and that the entire body
of colored people with their increase, might
remove in less than twenty years. Two-fifths.
or 50 900 900 of the amount recently voted by
Congress for war purposes, would be sufficient
to cover the expenses of the passage of these
emigrants to Liberia, also to pay for six
months of their support after arriving in that
country.

PROvIDENTIAL ESCAPE FROM STARyATIoN.-
The Memphis .Hrgas gives the following ac-
count of providential escape from starvation
of gentleman residing in Lauderdald county,
Tennessee, hear Hale's Point: Last week he
out hunting in large bottom in his
neigh borhood, and he observed wild goose
fly out of a cypress stump, which was some
twenty feet high. His knowledge of the hab-
its of these geese led him to believe that the
goose had nest in the stump. On the out
side of the stump were a number Of vines.
which he pulled up to peep in and get posses
sion of the eggs. After he had succeeded in
gaining the top of the stump, he discovered a
large number OF eggs some six or eight feet
down inside. The nest he supposed was on
firm foundation, and he accordingly let him
self down inside, but, when he struck the sub
stance on which was built, he discovered that
it had no foundation, and soon found himself
sinking to the bottom of the tree. The inside
OF the tree was rotten and would not bear his
weight. Now he was In dilemma; five miles
from any habitation, inside of stump twenty
feet high, with no prospect of any assistance,
with nothing to subsist on but the goose eggs,
he screamed and yelled until he was nearly
exhausted, no one coming within hearing dis
tance. On the third day after his ssincarcera-
tion'' two gentlemen were out hunting and
came within hearing distance. They were
very much frightened at hearing a man groan-
ing inside of the stump, and for some time
they could not reconcile themselves to what
it meant, but having learned that the gentleman
had been missed from home several days, they
soon were satisfied that it was no ''ghoSt" in-
side the tree. TheTy procured axes, and soon
the prisoner was liberated. He sWearS he
Will never attempt to rob goose nest sltuat-
ed as that one was again.
