The STEAMER ADvANcE.-The Bahama Herald
of the 25th ult reports the arrival there, on the
2sd of the steamer Advance Capt. CRossAN, from
Wilmington, with cotton to Sawyer s Menendez
Some scattering reports unvorable to the safety of
this vessel on her return trip to this port, we be-
lieve to be wholly groundless These reports arose
from the chase and alleged capture ofa steamer some
days since off the Sound. From what we believe to
have been the programme of the Advance we feel
assured that she could not have been off the coast
at the time when the alleged capture made, nor
likely to be for some days to come.-WH Journal

The bill provides for decreasing instead of increas

BATTLE OF LOOKOUT MoUNTAIN.-The federal
newspapers seem to be much elated at the result
Of the recent battle near Chattanooga. They claim
to have captured forty eight pieces OF artillery 81
800 prisoners, and 1000 stand of arms. A cores
nondent of the Richmond Dispatch admits the loss
of tbirty-eight pieces OF artillery.
The federal loss in killed, wounded, and prison
ers is estimated at 1000.
federal account of the battle says, after three
days man@uvering and fighting the battle was won,
and the strength of the rebellion, in its centre, was
broken--Burnsile relieved from danger-EaSt Ten
nessee and Kentucky reScued-Georgia and the
Southeast threatened in the rear" &c. These are
large claims 1t is thought that Grant had some
10000 troops, while Bragg had not more than 49,
900. The Confederates foug hit with their accus-
toned courage but the federals fought well also,
and it was not to be expected, under any diSposi-
ton of our troops that they could hold their ground
against such odds. The result might have been
the same if any other General than Bragg had
commanded.
1t must be admitted that Tennessee appears to be
lost to u.s. especially if, as reported, Gen. Long
street has retired from Knoxville; and appearances
indicate that Georgia is seriously threatened AT
the latest dates both armies were inactive, some
twenty-five or thirty miles apart. We judge the
main body of Gen. Bragg's army is at Dalton.

The Public Printiag.

A friend has called our attention to an article in
the State Journal of Monday this subject. which
is tissue Of unmitigaed falsehoods from beginning
to end The Journal asserts, for example, that our
bill for printing for the two houses for the regular
session, will be "some SIS, 600 or $4,000" Now,
BILL at present rates, for all the sessions, and
for entire term of two years, will not reach the
amount stated by the Journal We give it as our
opinion, and in this we are sustained by Mr. Mann,
who is practical printer, that instead Of realizing
any profits whatever from the work, we shall lose
a considerable amount at present prices, from No
vember 1862 to November, 1864. We learn that
the journeymen printers of the City intend soon to
advance their charge to dollar per thousand ems
as they feel they cannot live on less; and by Feb
ruary the probability is they will require one dollar
and a half per thousand. The price allowed the
State printer is sxty-two and half cents per thou
sand
The Journals filings at Mr.. Mann are unworthy
of notice. That gentleman cannot be reached by
them. The nominal Editor of the Journal hates US
on three accounts, first because we took him into
our office and tried to make an honest man of him.
when he had no friends; secondly, because, under
PiOfOS@IiOi,
publicly; and thirdly because we have always been
the first to raise the wages of printers thereby
pelling him to do the same, and thus do justice to
his employees.
We leave the whole matter of compensation with
the Legislature. Let that body do what it thinks
just and right, and we shall be Herewith content
We are satisfied that it is not the purpose of the
Legislature to Cypress the Express Company. A
very heavy tax all points at which packages are
delivered, would necessarily compel the Company
to discontinue serving number of places, and the
public would thereby suffer. tax to the limit of
. healthy revenue point is the rule We think, that
ought to be observed, and not tax which would

its ser7ices If the Railroads were Justly or prop

An Unexpected Marriage.

Old Governor Saltonsiall of Connecticut,
iourished about half century ago, was a
man of some humor as well as perseverance,
in effeeting the ends desired. Among other
anecdotes told of him by the New London
people, the place where he resided, is the
following:
OF the various sects that have hourished
for day and then ceased to exist, was one
known as the Rogerites, so-called from their
founder. Tom or John, or some other Rog-
ers. The distinguished tenet of the sect was
the denial of the proprieiy of the form of the
marriage tie. They believed thai il was not
good for man to be alone, and also that
one wife only should cleave TO her husband,
but then they should come together and live
IS man AMI wife, dispensing with all forms
of marriage covenant. The old governor
used often to visit Rogers, and talk the sub
Ject over with him, and seek TO convince him
of the improperly of living with Sarah as
he did. But neither John nor Sarah would
give up the argument. Ii was a matter of
conscience with them; they were very hap
py as they were; of what use could a mere
form be: suppose they did thereby invite
scandal: were they not bound to take up the
cross and live according to the rules they
professed? !? The governors logic was power
less to convince them. Now ohu," said the
governor, after debate of the point, why
will YOU not marry Sarah ? Have YOU not
taken her TO be YOUR lawful wife - Yes
certainly, replied John, " but my conscience
will not permit me to marry her in the forms
of the worlds people" Very well. But
YOU love her ," Yes" And respect
her ," YES" And cherish her as the
bone Of Your bone, and flesh of your flesh Nv
Yes, certainly do" And Will - ~Yes."
Then turning 10 Sarah, the governor said:
And yeu love and obey him ," Yes" And
respect and cherish him ?" Certainly do
And will ," Yes" Then" said the GOV
ernor, rising, in the name of the laws of
God and of the commonwealth of Connecti-
cut, pronounce you man and wife" The
rage OF John and Sarah was OF no avail
The knot was tied by the highest authority
the state.

I Ii + CALED OMAN.

We take pleasure in calling the attention
TO the card of Cols. Proctor and Neazey, who
have lately formed partnership as attorneys
in Rutland. 1t will be remembered that
these officers commenced their military Ca
reer at ST. Johnsbury, in the Sd regiment ::
Col. Proctor as quartermaster, Col. .Neazey
as captain.
At the breaking out Of the rebellion Col.
Proctor was a law partner of Judge Rediied
IN Boston, but Immediately repaired to his
native state to enter the military service, and
received the appointment OF quartermaster.
Col. Neazey was engaged IN a successful
practice Of his. profession in Springfield, VT,
which he promptly laid aside and gave his
undivided and earnest attention to the rails
ing Of company to respond to the first call
of the President for troops. His company,
y, Of the Sd regiment, was one of the first
organized in the state, of the three yea RS men
During the summer Of 1861 Col. p. acted as
brigade and afterwards as division quar-
term astcr, until October, when he was pro-
noted to the majority of the 9th regiment.
which position he filed with much credit, un-
til severe and proracted sickness compelled
him to resign in the summer of 1862. In
Aug, 1861, Col. V. was promoted to the ma
iority and soon after to the Lt-colonelcy of
his regiment, was made Provost Marshal of
Smiths division before the Potomac army
went to the Peninsula, and while the army
was before Richmond was assigned to the
cImm md of the 9TH regiment, during the
sickness and absence of the field officers Of
that regiment, and was afterwards assigned
TO the 18th n. y. and finally commanded his
own regiment during the seven days battle
on the Chckahomony. The high reputation
of these officers as commanders of the 10TH
and 10th regiments, and the gallantry OF
these regiments, with that of the rest of the
"a Vt. brigade, at Gettysburg, are fresh in
the minds OF all. We regret that the army
has lost the valuable services of these Off
