Advance in Newspaper subscriptions.

The enormously high price of paper everywhere,
has caused quite general advance i'll the rates of
newspaper subscription throughout the country.
Publishers in Philadelphia, Hartford, Cleveland,
Sandusky, Detroit and Chicago, have already ad-
vanced their prices, and many country journals
have been compelled to do likewise A meeting Of
publishers in New Jersey is to be held on the 4th
of December next to consider the course necessary
to be pursued, to protect them from serious loss,
In fact, if the present prices of paper continue.
publishers everywhere are threatened with utter
ruin, unless they increase both the price of sub
scription and advertising.
Our patrons will please bear in mind that the
JouRNAh is subject TO the above exigencies, and
that an Increase of prices may be forced upon us.
All will therefore only be consulting their in
terests by paying promptly in advance, and thus
securing their paper at present prices for at least
year to come.

fore us and clmpletes the tenth volume. We regaad
the Aadntic as having achieved the highest success
yet reached by an American periodical.
The same writers, by whose means the Magazine
has gained its present high position, will still be
constant contributors. These names belong TO the
first poets ani prose writers of the land, many of
whom make the Atlantic their ONLY medium of
communication with the public. With such staff
Of writers the publishers might well be content, feel
ing that through them the Atlantic could fairly be
de4msd an expression of the best intellect and cul
ture Of the country. Bnt they do not rest here.
The crisis through which the nation is passing is
to stimulate thought and develop new phases Of
talent. 1t is the aim of the conductors of the
Atlantic to add to their present list of eminent
MINES, such new talent as the exigency Of the
times may call forth, and thus, while secure of the
authors of established fame, to make their Magazine
at the time receptacle for the best productions
Of rising American writers.

the action of that branch could make it so.
