The Paper Trade.

Within the past week the paper trade
has been characterized by a very sudden
and to some extent unlocked for raise in
the price of stock Manufacturers anti
cipating that the upward tendency will
continue for some time, even until il
reaches hfty per cent, are taking no new
orders from dealers, but hold on to the
present stock, hoping to throw it into
market by and by, when the increase in
its price shall have attained its extreme
aseendancy.
The increase in the price, as il stands at
present, is about 25 or 80 per cent, and
as the market Is not suFfeited with suffi-
eientmaterial to enable dealers to respond
promptly to the demands of consumers
for very long period, it is anticipated
that some embarrassment will be felt by
the last named class, who are directly IN

Some of the manufacturers appear to be
filled with the gloomiest forebodings.

the supply OF rags becomes equal TO the

From the n. Y. Independent.
Dark Hours.
By HORACE GREELEY.

WHEN Washington retreated, eighty-six
years ago, with his small remnant of his
thrice defeated army, from New York
through New jersey to seek refuge from
his victorious pursuers behind the Della
ware in Pennsylvania, many of his follow
ers doubtless murmured at a dispensation
of Providence to them so inscrutable.-
Was not the cause of American indepen-
dence just? Was it not that of Universal
Freedom-of the inalienable Rights of
Man If so, why should reverses fall
thick and heavy upon it Why should
its brave defenders lie sleeping on the bat
tle-felds they had illustrated by their val
should they languish in miserable hospi-
tails or pine in pestilent prisons, hopeless
and heart-broken? How could things
have gone worse if the Universe were an
accident, and blind Electricity or Gravita-
ton were the only God?
Rash, hasty judgment A fly, feeling
the first frost of Autumn, might pass such
one on benignity evinced in the struc-
ture and laws of the Solar System.
Looking back from this distance, with
eighty-six years experience to guide us,
we can easily see that the disasters where
with our forefathers opened their Revolu-
tionary struggle were essential to the de-
Yelopment of the most heroic phase of
their eharacter-their constancy under
of intense discouragement.
Had it been decreed that they should tri-
umph from the outset-that the battle of
Long Island should result in 'Continen-

sequent recognition of our Independence |

The institute was complete success:

Rev Mr.. Clark delivered an interest

Not to particularize farther. all the lee

DeeIensior of Matrimonu.

The Newburyport Herald says that the
census statistics show that more than four
seyenths Of the marriages in Massachu-
setts are among the foreign born popula-
| ton. Why is it? For the most simple
OF reasCns-the foreign born can afford to
get MARRIED, and the native cannot; and
tins must be so, so long as our extraya-
CANT modes of life continue. In social
lie there never was a people tending to
more deeper and more destructive social
corruphon-and that it is, is most eyi-
dent from the records in all the courts.
and the columns of all the newspapers
than Americans. Once was the time when
wife was "helpmeet :" now in thou
sand cases you can change the meet" to
''eat, and make it read more truthfully.
We boast of our system of education
we have female high schools, female col
leges, female medical schools, and female
heavens. Our girls are refined, learned
and wise; they can sing, dance, play pi-
amos, paint, talk French and Italian, and
all the soft languages, write poetry, and
love like Venuses. They are ready to be
courted at ten years, and they can he ta-
ken from school and married at fifteen, |
and divorced at twenty. They make |
shows on bridal tours, can CO.
quette and fiirt at the watering places, |
and shine like angels at the winter par
ties. But heaven be kind to the poor
wretch who marries in the fashionable |
circles. What are they at washing floors?
Oh, We forgot; nobody has bare floors
low-how vulgar that would be What
IRE they at making bread and boiling I
beef? Why, how thOughtless we are-to
De sure they will board or have servants.

About Postage Stamps.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Postage stamp.
ed envelopes were first introduced in this
country in the year 1856, and although of
fered at prices far below that of ordinary
envelopes, they do not as yet seem just,
ly appreciated by the public. There has
been but slight variation in the number
of stamped envelopes issued annually
In 1854 it amounted to S26l, 1886; in 1856,
SGT ,572, so; in 1858, S307, ,S42,75; in 1861,
S260,273. The latter being less than is

stamps, which increased from 55 million

Our NAVY.

At this time, when our affairs are as
Stunning an atrd-bilious complexion in re
gard TO foreign nations, it may not be un
interesting to look into the condition o
our Navy. We accordingly give the fol
lowing exhibit as compiled from the Officia
Naval Register:
According to the official record. tn,
aggregate number of vessels now i'm th,
naval service of the United States is three
hundred and eighty-six. Of this number
no less than tifty-two are iron-clads four
teen of which are afioat and thirty-eight
building at New York, Jersey City. Bos
ton Philadelphia, Portsmouth, st. Louis
Cincinnati. Pittsburg Brownsville. Ches.
ter and Wilmington.
J We have eleven rams, five steam frig-
ates, twenty-four screw sloops. eighty-four
screw steamers and ninety-tive side-wheel
steamers, ferry boats, ships-ot-the line and
old sailing frigates.
The most remarkable feature of the cat
alogue is the rapid increase of our iron
! clad fleet. The duel between the Moni-
tor and Merrimac, while it startled the
naval powers of Europe into sudden ac-
tivity, gave vigorous impulse to Ameri-
can enterprise in the same direction so
that in less than one years time we shall
be able to show the long and formidable
roll of fifty-two iron-clads."
These % Iron-clods will carry nearly
three hundred guns of the heaviest metal
and calibre and their tonnage will amount
TO no less than 81 ,93l tons.
There are fourteen iron clads actually
IN service. carrying an aggregate of one
hundred and fiIty-three guns, and count
ing total tonnage of fourteen thousand
four hundred and seventy-fve: while the
iron-clads in course of construction num-
Der thirty-eight, and large proportion off
these will be ready for service in three or
four months, and all of them by next
spring. Two of these. now building, the |
Dictator and the Dunderberg. are of un-
usual dimensions, the former being three |
thousand and thirty-three ton burthen,
and the latter over five thousand. The
Dunderberg is to carry ten heavy guns
and IS going on rapidly at Mr.. Webb's

a New Party at the South.

| ''QccasiOnal' writes to the Philadelphia
Press as follows:
WASHINGTON, Nov, 1, 1862.
A new party will shortly appear. de
manding vigorous prosecutions of the
war against the rebellion-I allude to the
oppressed people of the Southern States.
Whatever may be said. nothing disheart-
ems this oppressed class more than dilatorv
and uncertain military movements on the
loyal armies. Many Southern people are
always forced to go into the rebel army
after every Union defeat. Now that win
ter is at hand, winter which threatens
to add immeasurably to their sufferings,
thousands who have been compelled TO
Rght against the Republic are nearly as
eager for the triumph of the old flag as
they have been courageous in fighting
against it; for they know right well that
there is no earthly prospect of peace save
upon the basis of submission to the Gov
ernment of the United States. They
know, too that peaceful adjustment is
impossible on the basis Of a separation of
the Union, and they look forward, there
fore, to every new campaign, with des-
pondency and horror These men have
been disenchanted in the school of a stern
and bloody experience. They have been
in the spirit and courage of
the free States, in the amazing resources
of these States, in the opposition or in
difference of many of their friends in
Missouri, Maryland, Tennes- |
see, and Virginia, TO the whole scheme of |
the rebellion, and in the shuffling conduct |
of Great Britain, who offers recognition ]
one day and regrets and withdraws it
the next. However passionate and pref
ldiced they may be, and still are, there |
IS nothing with this prospect in view to I
stimulate them to further sacrifices
Hence it is that many of their prisoners
freely confess that the people of the Sc
seded States are intensely interested in

Federal authorities Here then, is an
