Movement of TROOPS.

Our town has been thronged with
soldiers for some weeks past, in their
various marching and counter marching.
Besides the stir and hustle of the COM
panies raised in this county, and the
mastering ofthe Home Guards, and citi-
zens from the country to repel the
threatened raids of jenkins, we had the
Rexcitement of the passage through town
of Col. Lightburn, with his Brigade, and
their almost interminable train of army
wagons, on their way to the Point
Then came Gen. Milroy, with his Brig
ade, and accompanymen.s, to the same
destination. And then the return of
Gen. Milroy last week, with his force,
increased by the addition Of the 116th
o. VI.
AS it would be improper, however, to
publish any definite information of the
movements of the troops, their mum bers,
destination, &C., we forbear to do so.
We think we may safely say, howev-
er, that as soon as the rebels get all the
salt they want, AMI all the horses, wag
ons, provisions and men, which the Kan
awha Valley contains, and are safel,
out of reach, our forces will march up to
Charleston again. If this is "contra
band information, we will take it all
back when officially informed.

Al WORD TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

The recent Unprecedented rise in the price
= Of printing paper, and other materials used IN
printing, has made it necessary for the pub
fishers of papers to seek some means by which
they can save themselves from loss and ruin.
Without going into particulars, it is only nee
sssary to say to our subscribers that at the
rate which We now pay for paper-always
cash article-the white sheet upon which the
REPORTER is printed costs nearly the amount
paid by the subscriber, to say nothing of the
labor bestowed upon it.
We observe that our neighbor of the Argus
has raised the price of bis paper to one dollar
and fifty cents year. We are 10th to make
such change, but it may become necessary
the must do this, or in some other way save
the hundreds of dollars which the increased
price of paper will cost US per year. We shall
first, how ever, try to retrench by sending the
REPORTER only to those who have paid for it.
We have great many subscribers, who have,
through their inadVertance and our proverbial
good nature, received the paper for years
without paying anything. To crafty them
longer is pecuuiary ruin. Self preservation
being the first law of nature, we shall strike
from our subscription list on the first day of
January, the name of every subscriber in
arrears. At the present high price of paper,
they have become too expensive luxury for
printer to enjoy. We trust they will "see
the point" aud save their own credit and ours,
by paying arrears. We do not say that we
shall increase the price of our paper on the
lst Of January-but up to that time we will
receive subscriptions at present rates.
Those knowing themselves indebted are
requested to sette-and save US the mortif-
catioa of publishing dun-a thing we have
not done for years.

LOUIS NApoLEoN's OFFERED MEDIATIoN.-
Private advices from one of the most eminent
friends of America in France, represent that
the recent offer of mediation by Louis Narol,
con is there regarded as the expression of a
deliberate and matured purpose from which
the Emperor will not recede, and that it is
considered a serious blow to oar cause in Eu-
rope, and to the cause of freedom in Europe
not less than in America.
Republcanism is discouraged, aud wears a
somber look, and despotism triumphs in our
divisions The Mexican expedition bowever,
is looked on as an enormous mistake, and one
by which Louis Napoleon is seriously COM
promised and hampered in his future policy at
