MONTPELIER, DECEMBER 10. 1862.

To OUR PArRoNs. Although il seems already
TO be certain that we cannot afford either weekly
or daily paper at present rates, we are reluctant
to fix new prices until we can see how far the
manufacturers of paper and other materials are
determined to force their exactions upon US. We
therefore give notice that from aud after the LIST
of January, 1868, we must discontinue the club
rates, and adhere strictly to the old regular rates,
to wit for the weekly, to village subscribers AZ
per year to others, LOO per year in advance, or
81 per year II not in advance, and upon all news
paper accounts not settled at the end of the year
interest will be charged If during the year 1868
it shall be necessary to increase the price, notice
will be given and until the time fixed in such
notice it is to be understood that the above rates
only will be charged. We should be very glad to
continue the club rates. but it is impossible, and
we throw ourselves upon the good will Of our
friends TO help bear the seventies Of the times
aud to keep our list full We will endeavor to
merit their good will. As to the daily, we hope
to fix prices in season for the next quarter

,perpetuity of the government. There is no
getting away from that, surely: now let us
see how parties stand on the great question
Of the perpetuity of freedom VS.. the perpetui-
ty OF slavery Mr.. Lovejoy moved to lay
the resolutions on the table, and the vote
was as follows ayes, Republicans 20, Dem
ocrats 3, (Haight, Lansing and Lehman
Union 2 Casey and Leary.) Noes, Demo
Gratis 40, Union I. 1t is remarkable that
while only three Northern Democrats voted
for freedom, there were three representatives
from slave States who voted the same way,
leaving the main body Of the Democrats Of
the North and Of the slave-holding represent
tatives on the side of slavery.
Both Houses are to have bills for emanci-
patton in Missouri Senator Wilson's bill,
in the Senate, proposes to issue bonds to the
amount Of twelve millions Of dollars to com
pensate slave owners--loyal Of course. Say
the war costs us one thousand millions; this
would buy for freedom eiyhty-three States Ike
Missouri, at the rate fixed in this bill. How
much cheaper would it have been to have
bought the freedom Of every slave in the land,
than to have had this war aye, than to have
another year Of war. Mr. Noel Of Missouri
offered a bill in the House for the same
purpose. but its introduction was objected to
by Mr.. Robinson Of Illinois (dem).
The SIrUArroN.--W now get the unofii-
cial account Of the retreat Of our army from
fredericksburg. It appears to have been de-
cided on at council Of the commanders, and
although deemed perilous was the only means
Of escape from another battle which would
accomplish little except the destruction Of
valuable troops" While we regre, the
Wholesale loss Of life and limb occasion-
ed by this attempt to drive the rebels from
their stronghold it must be acknowledged as
attributable in part to our impetuosity as a
people in desiring the very movement. The
attempt has been made and signally failed.
Let us learn lesson thereby. Let Us still
place full and explicit confidence in our com
rnanders, and although again checked, let it
be an occasion for renewed vgor, and more
united support for the final crushing which
must sooner or later come.
