SAVE YOUR RAGS. There is a great ex.
cite'nent just now among printers, edi.
tors and publishers about the increase in
the price of paper. There is indeed cause
for it. One half of the newspapers in the
country must stop if the present high
prices continue. The whole difficulty
might be avoided if more care was taken
to save and collect cotton rags. More
rags are wasted annually than are sold to
the paper makers. 1t now becomes q Do.
triHtic duty upon the part of every house
holder to economist in this mHtter-to
save and sell everything out of which
printing paper may be manufactured.

ANOTHER REBEL PRIvATEER OUT.


CAPE RACE, Dec. 1.-The steamship Hiber-
nian, with several days later European dates,
passed this point last evening.
The sales of cotton at the closing were steady.
Breadstufis steady, but quiet. Corn had an up
ward tendency Provisions dull. Consols
closed, on Thursday, at 93k for money.
II Is reported that another craft, similar to
the Alabama, sailed from Liverpool to capture
and destroy vessels sailing under the American
flag, and that another will soon follow.
A dispatch from Hamburg states that the
steamer Barrie, from New York, is ashore of
Altoona beach. The mails and passengers were
safely landed.
The London Times of the 2Oth of Nov, in Its
"city article" says the report that Mr.. Seward
has addressed our Government In a tone of dis
pleasure at the aid alleged to have been given 10
the pirate Alabama, In British ports, created
for time some little uneasiness on the stock
exchange; many persons believing that no min
lister would be willing to put himself In such q
position as that which Mr.. Seward occupies on
this question, unless II were In the desperate
hope of finding cause of external quarrel at
any cost, In order to avert impending events at
home.
The LATEST, by the Hibernia, is to Friday,

The leading papers reiterate the argument that
the Federal Government has no grounds fol
complaint In the case of the Alabama; the Fed
erals having notoriously taken advantage ofal
opportunities offered.

wehsve read this document pretty carefully,
but We have not space at this late hour, nor
time, had we the space, TO notice 1t at length.
II is unmistalSesbly the production Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, and bears internal evidence Of
thin fact In every line.
1t Is permeated throughout with that honesty,
single-heartedness, and genuine patriotism,
which is 80 eminently characteristic Of the man.
We can only say, in this connection, that we
like the message, because we believe it to be
State paper coming from man who loves his
whole country, and is desirous of serving that

ability.
We reserve for future occasion more COM

him In this important State paper.
