also we have the sorry spectacle Of men
acting for the people, aud at the same
time acting for themselves in fixing
enormous rates upon their own vessels,
and all, too, under the garb of exalted
patriotism.
To show the utterly reckless and dis
graceful character of the Baltimore ope-
rations, we invite attention to the fact
that in one case q vessel in tho service
OF the Government. at the exorbitant
rate of $451 per day, was engaged in
running on excursion trips for the bene.
fit OF her owners; that in another yes.
sci was fitted up with bunkers, at Gov
ernment expense, to accommodate the
private freight of some of her owners,
who were at the same time suffers In the
army, one of whom made $4,000 10 one
trip; that in still other cases the Gov
ernment tugs were used by their owners
to tow private vessels for pay; that in q
large number of cases the miserable old
hulks that were chartered at such mon-
strouS prices, were so far gone that they
had to be fitted up at an expense equal
to their original cost, and that such re.
pairs were made at the public expense.
Is there another instance in historv Of a
nation struggling for life being so heart
lessly and shamefully robbed by its own
trusted citizens
The whole report is reeking with ex>
posed enormities. 1t is simpossible to es-
innate the plunder. Millions will be re-
quired to cover it. The Committee cen.
sure some high offcials-they recon-.
mend court-martial for another--and
they demand, what the public voice
should echo in thunder. tones, that s1cin
illgotten gains shall be disgcrqed. Tha.
word "dtsgorge" Should be the universal
cry unit, justice is Gone the public trea.
sury, ard tneh it should be seen wheth.
er criminal indictments will not lie q.
gainst all these spectators on the coun-
try's calamities.

We were struck twelve times, and though
the cabin door was knocked to pieces,
no material injury to the boat or to any
of those on board was inflicted. About
two regiments of rebel sharpshooters, in

did no damage. The Queen was struck

The people are sick aud tired of this
war. says the Gin. Enquirer. They do
not believe it can restore the Union or
come to any good result. They are
weary Of drafts and conscriptions. They
are oppressed to death with high taxes.
They are, alarmed at our deprecated
currency. They are sick of paying TWEEN
ty.6ve cents yard for calico, twenty
Eve cents for muslin, and similar increas'
ed prices for everything they consume
In family use, which was two'thirds
cheaper ID time Of peace. They want
to see coffee, sugar, tea and other gro-
eeries once more brought within, the
reach Of the poor, who can not now Of

FOR GOVERNOR,
HUGH j. JEWETT,

State Convention.
Grcnt Preparations for War.

The Administration is just beginning
70 prosecute the war on the Chicago
platform in earnest. Having there made
the wedge that dissolved the Union, the
emancipation proclamation is but the
mani to drive it home. Auxiliary to
that is the bill now before the Senate to
issue nine hundred millions bonds to run
forty years, four hundred millions trea'
snry notes to run three years, and two
hundred and fifty millions legal tender
and small notes.
Il Is calculated that these fifteen huns
dred million dollars will pay all the de
mAnds of the war te.July /, 1864. The
q money being provided, next comes the
oonscrlptiou bill which passed the Sen.
ste on the l6th, organizing the whole
militia of the ceuutry, and calling out
Grst oil men over 20 and under 35 veal
Of age. That puts into the field a num-
Der sufficient to keep the army up to
million of white men. These are to do
the fighting, while the three hundred
thousand negroes to be raised under
Summers bill, follow the armies ostensi'
bly, as soldiers, but really to incite in-
surrections among the black population,
TO kill of their masters families and lay
waste the country with the torch and
fsggot.
To guard against tumults or upriSings
Of the people in the North, another bill
has passed, empowering the President
to arrest and imprison men, and still
another bill transforms every Congress
sional district into military district,
with power to Provost officer to en-.
force the conscription act, and punish
ell who disobey It as deserters, and to
arrest civilians found expressing senti
ments adverse TO the Administration.
Such are the main features Of the pom
derous laws now eliminating at Wash.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1863.
NOW IS THE TINE TO SUBSCRIBE
OUR TERMS.

There is great deal of talk among our CO.
temporaries about the "great rise in the price
of paper" and the necessity for corresponding
rise in the price of newspapers. We do not
agree with our friends as to the last proposition.
1t is true that paper has gone up frightfully-
fifty per cent. as iekst, and is snill on its way
up" But what of that7 Publishers have for
years had . good time with Low. priced paper,
and made large profits; and now that times have
changed they should pay the enhanced price for
paper without whining, and without attempting
crease in the price Of paper will make . differ
ence Of tens of thousands of dollars to us year.
"; but we shall not increase the price Of the
LEDGER. That will remain as it is. We can af-
ford it. The retail price will continue to be four
cents; and our club terms will remain as they
always have been. Onr subscribers have stuck
TO us when paper was cheap; and We do not in
tend to increase our rates to them now when it
is dear. at is poor rule that won't work both
ways"
All our old contributors have been re-engsged
for the ensuing year; our corps will be 80 large,
and will embrace such q variety of eminent
talent, that every department of literature will
receive the particular attention Of some one
competent to do it ample and special justice.
In fact, our contributors will send us from week

superintendent supply from which to select THE
VERY BEST.
The LrDGER's great success is owing to the
fact that We spare no expense in getting mp the

The exalted reputation o. its contrib ators, the
