THE HOME OF THE PREsrDENr:

The Chicago Times thus recalls csrtsio
facts to the knowledge Of the President.
'.See here, Abraham Lincoln, President
Of the United States, youf own city Of
Springfield has pronounced against you
your own county of Sangamon has pro-
nounced against you by = popular majori--
ty of thirreens nshundred-your own State of
Illinois has pronounced against you by 8
popular majority ofsome twenty thousand.
These are the judgments of your own
neighbors against your Administration.
These are the voices of your own neigh
bors calling upon you to withdraxysir5slf
from the association Of Abolitionism and
return to your duty as the constitutionsl
Chief Magistrate. They are voices that
a wise man would heed. /" g s 81 y

THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

The doctored trash furnished to the
press and public as Photographic Cores
Ipondence' is rapidly falling to its proper
level in thepublic estimation, The reader
cannot but call to mind the repeated tele-
graphic statements having Washington
origin, reporting the perfect contentment
of the army with the removal of their
trusted. and beloved leader, Mcclellan.
How contrary all these reports have been
to the facts, a perusal of the following will
show
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoroMAc,
WARRENToN, Nov. 9, 1862.
The removal of Gen. Mcclellan from
the command of the army, has occasioned
the widest excitement Officers and men
united in denouneing the order as an out
rage upon the army; and while they ex-
press no objection to General Burnside as
an officer, they protest against the meas
ure most earnestly Many have prepared
their designations, and distinguished Off
GERS of rank assert that they will no longer
serve in the army if the order be not re-
scinded.
General Mcclellan received the announ-
cement of his removal with perfect equani-
nifty. He has not been heard to utter a
word of complaint, nor has he made any
allusion to the subject in the presence of
his staff, other than to mention the sur
prise occasioned by the reception of the
deSpathc. 1t was equally unexpected by
General Burnside, who at first positively
declined to accept the position.

From the Baltimore Americana
Great Advance in the Price
of Paper.

At the present price of printing paper
the subscribers to newspapers are scarcely
paying more for their printed sheets than
the prime cost of the white paper on which
they are printed. Tho advance in the
price in the last ten days is fully twenty
five per cent or nearly one dollar per ream
on the paper used by the american But
this is not all. We are threatened with
a still further advance, and the probability
is that the white sheet will soon cost
more than the subscriber pays for the
printed sheet. This condition of affairs
cannot, of course, be sustained by the
press, and we look to a very general ad-
vance in the charge to subscribers and
agents for their papers. Some of the
Northern papers have already advansed
from two to three cents per copy, and the
New York dailies are said to be discus
sing the imperative necessity of an ad-
vance. .78nyf, @ u-
This increase in the cost of paper is
said to be mainly caused by the fact that
the Government contractors are using rags
in the manufacture of blankets and cloth
for the army, producing the article called
''shoddy.' They have bought up all the
stock in the market, and will in due time
force upon the Government this miserable
substitute for cloth. Another cause of
the advance is the Government tax on pa
FER and all the chemicles used in its man
ufacture.
There is probably no species of bust
ness so heavily taxed as the newspaper
proprietor. He is required to pay all
these combined taxes on the paper manu-
facture, has an additional tax of three
per cent. on all the advertisements in his
paper, and pays the tax on all the other
materials used in his business. Then
his income, if any should be left, is taxed,
and unless he advances the price to he
paid by his readers, which will be light
to then-the probability is that he viii
at least escape the tax on incomes.
From the Boston Traveller.
70 Printing materials of all kinds have
very materially advanced since the com
mencement of the war. On some articles
of prime necessity to the printer, the ad
vance is fully equal to thirty per cent.
In addition to this the Government taxes
them three per cent. on the paper they
use, three per cent upon. their advertise
ments, and three per cent. upon their in
como, if they are s,fortunats enough to
have any. .s.aa
.assd The Boston Transcript. s,l
Many Of the New England paper man
ufacturers. appear to be filed with the
gloomiest forebodings. The market is
bare of stock, foreign and domestic
They say: The question is not what ad-
vance newspaper publishers will have to
submit to but, whether they can supply
at all! This being the evil, it is evident
that all newspaper publishers will soon be
to increase their subscription
price; penny papers will be sold at two
cents, and all two cent papers at three.

FROM CHARLESTON.

| BosToN, Nov. 12-The CORRESPONDENT
ofthe Boston J Journal writes from OH board
the u. S steamer South Carolina, of Char
lesion. under date oil Oct. 18th, as follows:
The British frigate Rover, by permission
of Flag officer Greeu, entered Charleston
harbor and took away rs passenger the
British Consul. The Consu! says that the
rebels have Just launched powerful ra m,
anl that two more are ready for plating
with iron, which they expect every dsy to
arrive from England in an irou-platcd
steamer. He also reports the rebel steam
er Nashville lying at the mouth of Stono
Inlet. six miles from Charleston, watching
for chance to run out. lie reports two
hundred cases of yellow fever at Charles
ten when he left. 8s
The same correspondents, unl Ter date of
October 10, writes as follows: About ten
o'clock last night heavy firing was heard
to the northward, which continued for half
an hour From the sound of the guns
this firing vas ju lgel to be about eight
miles off. This morning a boat arrived
from the fr,-ship, informing US that
vessel had run the blockade during the
night and the firing was from the Flam-
beau, which got under way before the
steamer ran the line Of the blockade, and
attempted to stop her; but she took not
the slightest notice ofthe Flambeau, which
fred twenty two shots against her sides,
but they ratified OFF like as much hail.
She must have been iron,platel ], and very
thick at that, or the Flambeau's $ rificl shots
would have gone through her; but she keps
on up the channel and run in. It is
thought she is the vessel the rebels OK
pected with the iron plates, and if so we
must expect some hot work before long.
unless we have something here besides
wooden ships to contend against them.
