the Democrat have kept up their old size--the Fay.
Observer, Wilm Journal, Raj Standard and Green's
boro Patriot: and it announced that the semi
weekly Standard is hereafter to be published half

We have been frequently asked why we do
not reduce the size of our paper or advance the
price of subscription, inaSmuch everything else
has advanced. As for advancing the price, resolr
ed to do it, utterly despise the advancing
spirit manifested by many in these times-in many
instances where there is necessity for it; and do
intend to reduce the size of the paper long
the paper mills will furnish paper 1t is true, pay
than twice much for paper and other materials
did before the war, but subscription list
has largely increased and in that way compensated us
in part for the increased expense In fact, list has
gradually and safely increased every year. and for this
generous confidence of the public intend main
tain old dimensions long possible The great
difficulty will be to get paper at any price.

will also retaliate in the right way
The order for draft the North to fill up the Lin

The BATTLE OF RICHNOSD.-A correspondent of the
Savannah Republican, speaking of the seven days bat
tie near Richmond, says.
1.-THE battle of Richmond has established two impor
tant facts The first is that volunteers may be relied
upon to storm the most formidable battery-a fact
Which West Point has been slow recognize. The
second that artillery is of but little real service in a
battle Our artillery hardly took any part in the
en- days fight; and yet troops drove the enemy
from position after another, Notwithstanding he
had and better artillery than any army ever had
before.
Another fact may be said have been illustrated by
the battle The in the ranks have failed to
perform their parts in the hour of trial Blunders may
be committed by mudded incO mpetent officers, but
the private soldier has always done his part we'll.
1t is but the simplest justice to add, that the rcgi
North Carolina and Georgia bore the brunt
of the battle All the troops did well, and those from
State fought bravely those from another bat
such the numbers and positions of the regiments
from the States named that they were called upon to
bear s'the heat and burhcn of the day No Georgian
or North Carolinian has intimatcd anything of the
kind to me but hear the cars, i'll the streets, at
the corners and in the hOtes-indeed wherever go
and from acquaintance merely but from strangers,
and those who witnessed the conflict. If this fact has
not been made appear before, it has been because
the troops from those States had here sound
the trumpet of their praises if they had not mod
esy preferred let their deeds speak for themselves
