EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.
We take the present exchange OF
prisoners, as Of more importance to
this Nation, than any event that has
Happened since the war commenced.
1t shows up that foolhardy and non.
sensical expression the day for com.
promise has goue by" in a beautiful
light. Yes, We could compromise
with Britain, after our government eff
cials had resolved Capt. Wilkes was
right, and that Mason and Slidell
ought TO be hung and quartered. The
day for compromise VAS not past
when the British Lion growled, our
Eagle must cover and come down to
the word compromise. But VIII en-
obF own American citizens, are to lie
dealt with, there is no compromise for
them. When our own citizens who
were foremost at Ball Run in the bat
tie, and stood at their posts until cap
tnred by the entmy, when these men,
as was we'll known TO the administra
iion, were closely confined in Rich
mond and Charleston, in prisons. (by
the act too OF our officials, being in
retalia.on) The could not be even
a compromise for exchange Of prison.
crs. Thank God that day has now
past, and The day is coming when we
can reason on this one snbject even,
can act as Christians, and do as we
would be done by. 1t is a glori GUS

The volunteers, and their families and friends gen.
orally will be interested i'll the following circu lar
just issued by the Secretary Of State and State
Treasurer:
To the Wives and Families Of Wisconsin Vol
| unteerS
Believing that many of you are restrained from
sending in your applications for the extra pay
promised to you by the State under the impression
that the money in the fund was exh susted, we
deem it proper to state to you the following facts
FrS&-In consequence the neglect on the
part of the officers of some o the regiments to
make out the reports required by aw, the fami-
lies belonging to these non-repo rted regiments
are unable to draw the money due to them, and s
quite number of the regiments are delinquent in
their reports-some of them never having even
furnished the list of those entitled to extra pay
the money, which in other crcum stances would
have been aid to these families, remains in the
Treasury undrawn.
Second We are informed by the Quartermas
ter General that arrangements have been made
by which claims against the war fund, amount
ing in the aggregate to over eighty thousand dol
lars, have been paid direct by the U s. authors
ties AS the State had made provision for the
payment vi theSe cldIS IL ledV Us large amount
that can be put to the credit of the Volunteer Aid
Fund.
Third-Gcv. Solomon has procured from
Washington, on account of advances made by
the State, some forty thousand dollars more than
had been calculated upon, thereby placing this
amount in the Treasury to be used in the payment
of the claims of the families of the Vol unteers.
| BY reason of the facts above st ated, the money
in the fund is still unexhausted, and we hope to
be able to continue the payment of II applica-
tions until some time in January, and possibly
longer.

The Paper Question We have been try
ing to see our way clear through the perplexities
that have been gathering around the paths of
III publishers, for a month to past, without
troubling our re ders with our troubles. But we
have to succul4 to the pressure. The quality o +
papeI upon which this number of the Telegraph is
isued, is sufficient evidence that something more
than common is constituting us. The fact is the
price of paper has increased to such unoonscion
able price, that we are almost discouraged. Our
paper bill has been heretofore the most serious Of
our expenses, and that is now nearly doubled
Ten aud half cents per pound has furnished
us with very fair quality of paper. This brown
paper that we use this week cost, nineteen cents
per pound, making the white paper of our edition
cost about eighteen Dollars. Circumstances have
compelled US to use this inferior quality ofpaper,
for couple of weeks, but we shall use it no long
err. The gu estion now arises, whether shall
be compelled to increase the subscription price OF
our paper, or cut down it's size. Nearly all the
papers in this State and, Illinois, ofmuch small
er size than ours, have advanced their price to 81
a year in advance. We would much rather make
no change and shall try hard to wealth the storm
as we are. We do not believe this terrible adj
vance in the price of paper can be permanent
nevertheless for the time being it is a fearful re-
ality that must be met. If all our subscribers who
are in arrears would pay up aud year in advance
at our old price OF 81 50 year, we shonld be en-
abled to continue the publication of our paper 81
its present price, and its present size for year to
come. But we can hardly expect such a consum-
nation. We have hitherto allowed subscriptions
to run over the year and then taken the advance
price. We have done this to accommodate oul
subscribers, and as far as possible we have al low
ed them to choose their convenience as to time il
paving their subscriptions, but we can do this NJ
longer We shall be compelled to enforce on
printed terms, and charge $500 year when no
paid strictly in advance.
We shall give our friends time to aceommo dat
themselves t. this new state of things, therefor
say that all who pay up for the present Volume
before the tenth of January will be charged onl
the advance rates. Those in arrears for more tina
the present volume, if they pay back arrears ant
for the current year, will be charged only the ad
vance price We hope 50 many of our friends i
avail themselves of this offer, that we shall be abb
10 continue our paper at its present size, at on
present rates.
If the prices of printing materials continue I
rise or remain permanently as they are, we shu
be compelled TO raise our price or reduce the si1
of our paper. For the present we shail do Meath
meanwhile we hope our subscribers will do the
best to aid US in this trying emergency
