LEA friend in the country, in proposing
to canvass for subscribers where the weekly
Boston journal and New York Tribune have
been largely circulated, says, Il cannot get
name for any paper TO exceed one dollar"
We can assure him, that his friends will have
to go paperless. The bare white paper to sup
ply a subscriber to our weekly one year, costs
more than one dollar in cash, to say nothing
of ink, types, labor &c. Our friend will see
that the papers he refers to have raised their
prices fifty per cent, and then the postage on
them is just double the postage of paper
from this city.

gB- The Brunswick Telegraph calls those
persons fanatics" who contend that the rebels
are "entitled to no consideration under the
Constitution" Then Hon. Joseph Holt is a
fanatic, for he says:
Is it not childish prattle to say that the
South can claim to be at the same moment
the prOtege and the destroyer of the Constitu-
tion? Does it not require an audacity abso-
lutely satanic, to insist that the beneicent pro-
visions of that hallowed instrument shall be
sacred to States and people who are hourly
spurnng and splitting upon its authority, and
who are leading forward vast armies to over
whelm it, and with it the homes and hopes OF
all who are rallying for its defence?
