OUR CaoIcE. - The last number of the Gin

We have heretofore expressed preference
that Hon. Jacob n. Howard should occupy Mich.

that time the name of our Governor had no,
come prominently before the people. We Can
not ZEE that, according 10 the intendment Of the
Constitution. his disability would he removed by
refigning HE present position. Our Rrpresen-

Weather. Markets. &c.

The weather is full of uncertainties, and
in the main rather warm for this season OF
the year. Ice was running quite freely on
Sunday in consequence Of the cold spell
which We had last week, but the warm
weather since has caused it to disappear
entirely. Nothing has been heard Of the
,nuskrats, and the "oldest inhabitant''
looks wise but "says never word" We
have given the subject some attention and
have delibe rately concluded that the river
will remain open until the first Of January
unless sooner frozen over.
An Increase in Railway freights has
caused small decline in wheat. Deliveries,
however, continue good. Benton Brothers

FROM THE 27rn.-After putting our pa
per to press last week we received, through
the tardiness Of the mail, letter from

memorable expedition, we refrain from a

is worthy Of more than a. passing notice.
We quote as follows:
eve stad at Mile Lac two days, which
were occupied in an Indian council, and in
paying the Indians. They received 3d.
600 or more. and everything passed of
quietly. We have been eight days going
to Mile Lac, and more needless expense
the Government has not been put to since
this war has commenced. 1t has been es-
timated the expense of the 9th regiment
on this trip up from Dubuque and back
again, will not fall short Of 100000, and
all to pay the friendly Indians the paltry
sum Of $4,000"

Advance in tho Pricc OF Paper.

The paper upon which we print this is.
sue of the TINES, has advanced. twenty ,fce
per cent. over the price paid last week, and
there is every reason to expect still furth-
err advance within a month. This advance
is caused, ths MANUFACTURED claim, by an
increased cost of cotton waste, chemicals,
labor, taxes. etc. l..' re
Fine papers and cards, such as We use in
our job department, have advanced still
further. For instance, we are using card
board which comes billed to us at 20 cents
per sheet and which week ago cost 13
cents-an advance Of over so per cent!
Asa consequence OF this heavy drain
upon the already collapsed pockets Of
newspaper men, rates of subscription and
job work must 60 up, or papers and job
offi:c will 60 down. We have already
seen list Of some ten or twelve eastern
papers which have advance half dollar
on the price of their weekly editions.
For ourselves, We expect to get along
without change of our old tariff Of two
dollars per year, though we are frank to
say we should lose money at the usual
price of one dollar and fifty cents. We
trust our $3.50 cotemporaries will avoid
the shoals Of shipwrcck by coming to our
platform Of $500 per year. Think Of it,
brother quilts.
If we were to add anything to the
above, it VIC uld be to express the hope that
our subscribers will generally see the ne.
cessity Of paying promptly as possible, for
the dollars do not reach so far in printing
Office as formerly.

A RIcu JoKE.-The best joke of the war
is out and in substance is as follows: At
the recent fight at Ncwtonia, Mo-, federal
officer became very thirsty and repaired to
spring near BY, kneeled down and drank
from the fountain. Feeling much refreshed
he arose from his drink and sat himself
fair and square upon his heels which were
armed with pair Of heavy Mexican spurs.
The instant he felt the prick of the rowels,
he thought the enemy were upon him, and
worse than tearing his pantaloons. He
Immediately fell upon his face again bawl-
ing out "Oh! / surrender! I surrender -
and in that condition was found by some
Of his own men. The articles of war do
not permit the stating Of his name, but
the scene is worthy Of Hogarth's pencil
