Esa~ The scarcity of f' 'cotton waste: and

eae The scarcity of cotton waste; and oth CT materials, which ar. used in tie manufacture of white paper has largely increased the price of printing paper of all kinds. During the las, few weeks the cost of the paper upon which the ENQUIRER is printed has advanced nearly 50 pc, cent At this rate the subscription price at which we furnish the paper will soon hardly pay the cost of the white paper furnished. before a line of type haa been printed upon it.
 Our subscribers will do we'll to bear this in mind, and those that are in arrears will do us a favor by paying up at onca-and others mlght even consult their advantage by paying in ad vance, as We shall probably be compelled, after the first of Janu try, to raise the price of sub. s,ripton to those who have net paid in advar ce to Sl ,50 per annum.
 Hartford paper, speaking of this subject, truly says:
 The Government tax on newspapers is px- cessive. It reaches them in four different ways. The tax on white paper is large-on ink-on every advertisament- on the Income. It WOE seem that the tax was arranged to emharrass hSNo oPaPelS. ~II Ce tdliliy IOTCeS lHctn to ralse their price or publish at an actual loss The price of white Taper has increased within the past three months to the extraordinary degree of Eirty sic per cent!
 These heavy taxes and the un usual advance in the price of paper, must work fatally upon many newspapers throughout the country. CT, tam it is, that none of them can live in anything
 like heal'hful condition If they pay their bills, without an advance Tn price for it is quite ev- ident that they cannot continue on the old and no more than barely living profits, under the weight of these great taxes. advance in the price paper. of ink, and of every article they bny.-
 The Br export (N. Y Republic has the fol- lowing on the same subject :-
 Most of the large daily papers in Western New York have advanced the price of their is. sues. An editor of a leading New York daily informed us last week that the publishers in that city would soon follow suit. Many of the country journals are also published at an in creased prices. Th5 advance is caused mainly by the advance in printing stock.

GEN. CAss AND THE PRocIAMAT1oN-A nrivats letter, says the Chicago Iribane Col. F. A. Eastman, of this city, dated Detroit, Oct. Sd, to one oI the eitors of that paper contains grati- fying information. He called upon the Hon. Lewis Cass to pay the venerable statesman his respects, and what transpired we give in East. mans own language:
 1 told Geu. Cass that ] had always admir- ed and supported him as a Democrat. but that perhaps he would not regard me as Democrat now, as had peded my support to the present officers of the Government, and to all the war measures He replied -" You are right. The Government is right. Young men must sustain it. Invited thus to continue the conversation, l said But approve of the proclamation, and all.' The old patrot responded promptly, ' So do l." After few minutes spent in con- versatlon on general topics, be came back to the proclamation again. He observed that whether or not the President had the constitutional right to declare the slaves free, the President friends did not strengthen the measure by claiming it to be constitutional. |" I do not deny" he said, that there is that in the Constitution to justify it. He did not fear its effect in the South, he only hoped it would prove effectual. He could not understand how any old Democrat could have any sympathy with the South and he hoped that If there are any persons in the North who would ever cousent to a separation. they would not be permitted to have any position or inhu. ence.'

COUNTERFEIT MONEY IN THE ARaY.-The Wash. ington correspondent of the Journal of Com. nnerce relates the following:
 An army sutler yesterday called at one of our city banks to have twenty seven dollars of Indiana money exchanged for current funds. when twenty-five dollars of the whole amount was thrown out as counterfeit. After express ing his astonlshment, the man declared that he knew of one entire regiment that had received their State bounty in this very spurious money. And from the hapker alluded to, learn that the amount of counterfeit money now in circulation in the army and in his communityis enormous

A CHURCH SCENE IN NEW ORLEANs.-Ths New Orleans correspondent of the New York Erprees thus describes the closing of St. Paul'E church in that city by order of Gen. Butler Rev Dr. Goodrich the rector of St. Pauls last Sunday, had just given out the psalm (.' In- troit,' before entering the chancsl to say the anti-communion service, when Assistant Adiu, tant General Strong, of Gen. Buffers staff apr. preached the ministrant, and asked him if he had omitted or designed altogether to omit the prayer for the President of the United States '' Being answered in the affirmative, the officer. turned to the congregation. and announced that the church would he clos i'd to the mnistration ot the rector hereafter by order of Gen. Butler, and then after a scene of some excitement, in. which the ladies seemed to be most deeply con- cprned, the house was shut.
 It is rumored that Dr.. Goodrich, who is .

ACCORDING to recent information from Mex. ico received by the steamer Eagle from Havana about enc half of the French troops, amounting to nearly seventeen thousand men, had arrived and were ordered immediately to Orizaba. It is thought that the Notifications at Orizaba, have been selected as basis of operations. and that the expedition for the city of Mexico was to start in December.

~,There is information of substantial aid being furnished by England for the construction of a rebel navy. Several immense iron-clad frigates are being constructed at present, calculated to cross the ocean, and of power sufficient tc de. vastate our coasts and annihilate our shipping. Practically, England is now at war with the United States, and a formal declaration could scarcely add to the power for mischief which it exercises.

aa- We have received very serious con- p,sipts from some Of the friends of our boys ill the 18th Regiment, with regard to misconduct or ntisnaIagelnens of the surgical department iii that regiment. The complaints mostly directed toward the Assistant Surgeon, one J.. duings in the regiment are true, the least that could be done with Eim should be his immedi- ate expulsion from his responsible position. If he has shown such utter neglect of his duties, incom potency in his profession, and such abso- lute criminality in his personal habits and char actcr, as is charged upon him by those who have had opportunities of knowing whereof they speak, and also have indeed just returned from the Camp of the 18th, it behovss, in our opin- ion, the highest military authority of the State to demand his immediate removal.
 We can conceive of nothing so important to be locked after, IS the health of our soldiers in the field, and especially, the care which those who are sick should receive at the hands of the regin'ental physicians. Our brave boys go forth to fghs the battles of their country, taking their
 lives iu their hands as they go. If they fall in battle, we know that they have fallen for liberty, and have gallanty and willingly given up their lives in defence of their country. But if while ill camp they are stricken by dire disease, or lan- guish their lives away in the tent or in the hos pilm, the feeling is but natural to us that then at least, Ho comfort should be denied them, and ro care forgotten. We have no feeling of safe. ty or security for those we love, if we know that they gre ia charge of incompetent or careless men.
 h the 10th Regiment, ws learn that the sick are placed i'll a single tent, laid side by side up. on hard boards, exposed to the da,npness and cod and visited by their surgeons once or twice Il day. as may happen, or may suit the conven- fence of these officers. And thus they are cared ior-altLough there are unoccupied buildings within less than half a mile from the camp which might well be used, did not the Sur. seons, who draw pay from tke Goyernment, re- fuse to visit them at such distance Yet we do not suppose that the sick suffer more from want of attention ill this regiment than in oth ers and we khow that the Regimental Hospi tal' is looked upon with horror throughout the Army.
 We hope tkat .le matters we have alluded to above, will Le immediately investigated by Col Wessells in the 18th, and that investigations in. to the case Of our sick soldiers in ali the regi- ments, will be made as soon and as thoroughly as possible. Complaints on this score have grown altogether too frequent of late, and ii well founded, demand an immediate correction

FRoa THE 5TH private letter,
 which we have had the pleasure of perusng,
 from this gallant Reg imsnt, attributes the death Ames, Esq, of Morris, to a fatal mistake in
 administering to him powder containing poi
 son. instead of Qainins and Dover powders | which was prescribed. The fault seems to lay Steward of the Regiment, both of whom are represented as totally unfit for their places. This very important matter of having conpe- tent and careful Surgeons in our Reg iments, we have noticed elsewhere in this paper The 1 above is very striking proof of want of | p oper care and caution.
 l From the letter, which is very interest," n 5, l and we'll written, we quote: "IIad Ames got 1 his prescription he would have Hyed. But he
 got something else and died. We buried him
 on the afternoon of the day following his death. With mufled drums and arms reversed he was followed 10 his grave by deail from Co I,
 (to which he bclsnged.) No Chaplain was
 there to solemnize the scene; tho hands of Q
 few of his companions laid him in Lis lonely grave. No mournful dirge invoked peace to his names, but over his open grave those with whom ill life he stood shoulder to shoulder on fields of bloody battle, and with them faced death manfully, battling for his country's honor and liberty, paid their fearful tribute to their lifeless comrade. Three distinct, sharp, angry volleys from his comrades rifles broke
 the stiffness of that beautiful afternoon, and the last honor was paid him. Leaving a rude board with his name and reg iment marked on it, to be placed at his head, we walked away as we heard tho elods rattling on the rude pine coffin. #
 The story about going home this winter has cd out in camp here. and guess we shall stay here and do Provost duty all winter. x Col. Chapman is not here. I believe ho is ill Connecticut, not very we'll. His health WAS very poor when he was with us. Lieut.. Col. Stone is still prisoner, with his leg amputated at the hip It is thought he will not live long, He was good, brave old fellow, and we all feel very sorry for him. Maj. Packer, recently pro- noted in place of Major Blake, shot at Cedar Mountain, is now in command of the Regiment Is members of eur Regiment returned from Richmond the othsr day They looked as though they had seen tough times and they tell a story about the usage our boys received that makes fellow almost swear that he would shoot every seeessonist that he can draw bead on.
 You speak of the President and his Procla nation saw him when he was here, (Frede- rick City,) about two weeks ago, and asked him, Well, old fellow, how de you fesl?' to which he replied, Quite well, thank you, sir ? You would have smiled to have seen the soldiers pulling him out of the car on to the platform, and telling him in spite of every protestation, that he must say something. He made fine little speech and such cheering you never heard. As regards his recent Proclamation, the army all believe As is working to end the as soon as possible, and sohaterer turns up, the army ,eiH stand by Old Abs.' I wish we had more such honest men as himself to support him.'
