The various regiments and brigades were

We met with no check until we had pro-

The fire of the battery was so unexpected
and severe, that the right soon broke and
could not be rallied until it had reached a
wood about 500 yards to the rear.
Three companies of the left, Capts. Tate,
Kirkland and Carter, maintained their posi-

infantry of the enemy in pits and bush, driv-

under the FIRE ofthe battery, but not so heavy
as the right.
These three companies maintainded their
position nobly, but seeing that the right had
been forced back they retired also, but not

Debate ON the Hreckinridgc Paper
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1862-12-08
WORCEST TER:



Tomorrow morning the DAILY SPY will be
printed on a smaller sheet, and on type OF
smaller size; on a smaller sheet, in conse-
quence of the almost ruinous rise in the price
of paper-and on smaller type, in order to get
the necessary amount of reading matter within
narrower limits. This lessening of the size Of
our daily sheet is an experiment. We hope
it will be successful; but its success will de-
pend on the future condition of the paper
market. Most other journals have raised
their prices from thirty to fifty per cent. Our
aim in reducing the size of the paper is to
avoid the necessity of raising the price The
next month or two will show whether the eX-
pertinent is to fail, and also determine what
permanent changes will be necessary for the
future. At present the paper market is so
unsettled and uncertain, that is impossible to
see or predict what may become necessary.
The yearly cost of publishing the Spy, at
the present rate of expense, would be from
$1,000 to $4,000 more than it was year ago.
We pay more for Geographic dispatches, for
printers ink, for composition, and for almost
everything else that enters into the cost of
publishing paper. In addition to this the
receipts for advertising and nearly all the ar
ticles we use are taxed. The charge for tele-
graphic dispatches has increased nearly 400
per cent. withinthree years, and printingpaper
about one hundred per cent. within the last
two or three months. Most publishers of well
established newspapers will deem themselves
fortunate if they get through the coming year
without serious loss. There is no likelihood
of a possibility of going back to the old rate of
expense. Newspapers will in any case cost
more hereafter than heretofore; but we hope
that the paper market will not become any
worse for publishers than it is now.

The PEACE 0yERrURBs.-~ The Tribune
Washington correspondent says the statement
in the Barney letter, copied in the Spy Sat.
urday, is contradicted on the highest authori.
ty. 1t is further to be stated, on the same
authority, that the president has no knowledge
whatever of the statements contained in the
letter, and that no communication on that
subject, or embodying such information has
been made to him in any way. Leading re-
publicans deny all knowledge of the matter,
and the supposition that this letter has any
weight, from the alleged attention to DIR. Bar
ney's statements, is entirely erroneous. 1t
may be added that no recent communication
from Fernando Wood has been received by
the president, and none whatever on these or
any similar subjects.

GARIBALDI ON EMANCIPATIoN.-"Wil lillian
Cornell of Colorado Territory" who writes
letters to distinguished persons in Europe,
urging international arbitration in American
affairs, has succeeded in stirring up Garibaldi
as fly will sometimes excite lion-who
sends to him the following morsel :--"Gen.
Garibaldi always takes the deepest interest in
the American question. Nothing could please
him more than the abolition Of slavery He
considers it as being at once a curse to a free
people. Abolition, according to him, ought
to be full, unconditional. For him, and those
who march under his flag, human rights are
before constitutional rights. Humanity must
come first; commercial interests, individual
prosperity, afterwards
