PRICE OF PAPEKs.-The Chicago Dailirs
have advanced their prices to 50 per year
and put up their weekllcs to s.. All Dailies
will be obliged to increase their subscription
rates or ensuall their sheets. As people
generally take the City Dailies for the tele.
graphic news. we think it would be better
policy for the publishers to reduce the size
Of their papers, than to increase the price
Many that now take Daily, costing 81 OF
S. per year, will never renew their subscrip.
ton.
In speaking Of the causes which have led
to this increase in rates the Journal says:
Though the difference in price is hardly
sufficient to cause serious complaint on the
part Of newspaper readers. yet full and
candid explanation is due them for the step
thus taken, 80 that all may sppreciat. the
facts. The price Of white printing paper
one Of the. largest items IN II. wspaper EXPENSES
has, within = month Or two, advanced
about fifty pet cent, and the price Of INK and
other material that is indispensable in thu
printing business has also largely advanced.
Taking all the expenses together, and the
cost ot publishing newspaper now is near
" one hundred per cent. greater than it was
three months ago-and yet the advance OF
rates agreed upon by he publishers is but
q little over u quarter of a hund. ed per cent.
on their previous rates. .s... -.
The large advance III the price of printing
paper is owing to several causes. Shoiiy
contractors have bought up immense qua,'-
titles of the cotton rags SO extensively used
by paper manufacturers, to manufacture into
army clothing; aud wooden rags, formerly
worth nothing now bring high pric~ Tor
the same purpose. Bleaching powder,
also used largely in thu manufacture Of pa
per. comes from abroad. and is heavily taxed
by Government under the tariff SD
The price Of printing ink has been increas.
ed on account OF the tax. Telrgraphic dis
patches now cost more than they did for.
merly, and are taxed besides. The news
paper advertisements and circulation are
also taxed; and indeed there is scarcely an
end to the increase Of printing Office expen-
SEES, and Of course the only alternative for
publishers Of newspapers is an Increase Of
price to the subscribers and purchasers u

He said, among other things, we must cast out

Union boats fired upon by Guerillas.
The Town of Prentiss Burned.


HELENA, Ark, Sept 27.
Recently an expedition consisting of trans
ports Satan and Alhamora, and the ram Queen
OF the West, carrying about $50 troops and
several pieces of artillery, left Oldtown and
sailed down the river as far as Union, 40 miles
below the mouth of the Arkansas river. As
the expedition descended the river it was
fired into by guerillas,at Prentiss, a town on
the Mississippi shore, opposite Napoleon and
Island No. rs, killingat the latter place four of
our men. The boatsshelled the woods along
the shore, but with what damage is not known.
On their return trip a large force of gueril-
las, numbering from 1900 to 1000, under Gen.
Villipigne, at Prentiss, occupied the shores,
and opened a brisk cannonade on the boats,
accompanied by volleys of musketry. The
boats returned the compliment with shot and
shells, killing u of the rebels and driving
them back into the country, in the direction of
Bolivar, after which part of our forces dis
embarked and burned the town. The boats
were completely riddled by musket balls, and
two 6pounder cannon shot passed entirely
through the cabin of the Alhambra Our
loss was seven killed and several wounded.

The Americans special from Sharpsburg,

thousand. The official figures in two corps,
Summers and Hooker's, are as follows: Sum

about 600. The total loss in these three ar
my corps is therefore S42S. The loss in Gen.

there may be considerable reduction in the
number of missing
Gen. Griffin, whose brigade pickets the river
at Blackburn and Reynolds Ford opposite
Shepardstown, keeps strict watch over the
rebels, and is active in accommodating the
country along the Virginia side of the Potomac
On Friday morning a battalion of cavalry
crossed, and soon afterwards sent back as a
prisoner a rebel cavalry officer whom they
captured at Shepardstown. Soon after boy
appeared on the opposite bank shouting to our
pickets not to fire. He came over and said he
had enlisted with the rebels at Frederick, but
becoming disgusted with the service desired 10
come home. The rebels he reported to be in
strong force ten miles back from the river. He
also said that Jackson had had his arm ampu-
tated in consequence of a wound received at
Antietam.
These stories of rebel deserters are however,
notoriously unreliable.
On Thursday at noon, Gen. Griffin in person,
with the 9th Mass. and the 1st District of Co
lumba regiments, crossed the river They
threw out skirmishers and advanced up the
hill, and proceeding cautiously passed into the
woods Shortly afterwards they sent back a
piece OF artillery and an artillery forge which
the rebels had left behind They remained
out during the afternoon, but as there was no
firing, it is presumed they did not find the reb-

Court Martial of Gen. McKinstry.

ST. Louis, Sept 81
The court martial for the trial of Gen Nc
kinstry met to-day, according To the order of
adjournment, and the members were sworn in.
The chrages and specifications against Gen.
Mckinstry were read. There was but one
charge, and that was for neglect and violation
of duty, the specifications of which are over
fifty in number. They are to the effect that
Gen. Mex. purchased Miles horses and army
supplies from certain contractors at exorbtant
prices, while other parties offered to furnish
the same at the market value, and that Gen.
McKinstry then purchased the same supplies
from contractors at eXorbitant prices. After
reading the specification, Gen. Mex. stated
that he wanted witnesses in his behalf sum
moned, among others Maj. Gen. Fremont, to
show that as far as the specifications were con-
cerned he acted under orders.
