Printing Paper from Abroad.

The \. Y. Times has taken the bull of COM
bination by the horns, and shown the paper
makers that, however they may combine, they
cannot succeed in keeping up the prices of pa
per beyond a certain point,-a point, indeed,
far too high on the scale, but far below that to
which the graspirg monopoly of the paper-ma-
kers' combination tried to reach. The Times
of Thursday. makes the following announce
ment 5.-.. 5.-
We commence to-day the printing of the
Times upon paper manufactured expressly for
our use in Belgium, and imported for us
through Mr.. Duysters, who is the largest i'm
porter of foreign paper in this city. One YES
sci, containing consignment of this part to
us has already arrived, and several others are
on the way. We have paid to the Govern
ment the sum of 81 800 for duties on the pa
per already received, under the amended tar
iff act OF last session. This is IA larger a.
mount, we believe, than has ever before been
received from all the publishers IN the country
for duties upon imported paper used for news
paper purposes. It will be more than quad
rupled within the next few weeks.
When this paper was ordered the paper
makers combination had succeeded in forcing
paper to the enormous price of % to "a cents
per pound, on the plea that the scarcity of
cotton rags rendered it utterly impossible to
sell it lower, and the tendency of prices was
still upward. At that very time, we bought
this paper in Belgium, (where the dearth of
cotton ought to have made itself felt if any
where for and Z = cents around. The ef-
! feet of our sending the order, which soon be-
came known, was to check the advance in pri-
ces, and they have been receding ever since.
The combination has made one or two at
tempts since that time to get prices up again,
but in every instance they have failed
Their latest dodge was to put their mills
upon three-quarters time but some of the
| leading members of the combination boted
at this fragrant attempt at imposition and we
believe the attempt has been abandoned, ~
| The reduction of the duty on paper by Con-
! gress, at its late session, was far from being
what the interests of the country required
| but it has been sufficient to check the attempts
! of the combination of paper-makers to push
prices to the enormously high figures they Or
iginally intended.
The paper upon which the Times is printed
/ is good-about the color of this paper has d
good body, smooth surface, takes a good i'm
preston, and would stand as much aoear as or
dinary news paper.

The Snirit of the Army

One who has conversed with many of the
soldiers who were engaged in the late battle
on the Rappahannock, says that he has not
yet seen one who considered himself, his reg
iment or the army defeated. 1t is only the
Copperhead stay-at- homes who call the CAM
paign disastrous. The Rev. Mr.. Charming,
who has Just returned from the army, where
he witnessed, Sedgwick's fight of Monday,
and has siIce talked freely with the men,
both in the camp and the hospitals, declared
in his sermon this morning that the morale of
the soldiers and their faith in Joe Hooker
were unimpaired and that they await a re-
newal of the conflict with steady and cheer
full confidence, their minds being intrenehed
in habit of patient hope, and their belief in
ultimate triumph having been strengthened
with every battle, while the Rebels fight in
anger and enmity. r.. -7i-zs i.a @
Our men are in the field from devo ion to
country, and accept the chances of battle with
men they do not hate, with courage and
self-saerifce not less efficient in action and
more noble in endurance. His experiences
with the army had left the speaker more
hopeful than great victory would have done,
if unaccompanied by. a knowledge of the
sublime devotion of that army of freemen.
Mr.. Charming said that his first thought
during the battle was, Whether victorious
or vanquished, God grant our soldiers may be
heroic" His next thought was, I" God grant
that such sublime self-emula,ion may win the
victory" And, lastly, he had never before
conceived such a reverence as he now felt for
that divine wiifulness in man which was ex-
hibited in this battle. Mr. Chauning's pic
lures of the battle of Fredericksburg were
vivid and his experiences among the wound
I'd were reproduced with such. pathos as to
move many in the audience to tears. r7 IFS.

Miss Dickinson the orator.

N. P. Willis, standing authority on such
matters in the literary world, writes as fol-
lows of Miss Dickinson, the orator /:
Miss Dickinson is a symmetrical young
creature, every movement showing we'll
knit agility of frame, and her build and ac-
ton altogether being just what would be
picked out for a daring horse-woman. The
Napoleonic mould of her jaw expresses the
energy which is her leading characteristic
Her features are otherwise well chiseled, her
forehead and upper lip of the Greek proper
ton, and her nostrils thin. The men would
all call her beautiful-the women would ad-
nit it with their usual reluctance-but we
thought (ourselD that she was beauty but
for the look, little too determined, of that
strongly moulded jaw, though this would bet
ter hold the throat-lateh to a helmet, and
make her look more like Semiramis in the
field. ..s,
But how, under the delicacy of girl of
eighteen, could be gatEer the strong wis
dom which she poured forth so volubly that
night was to us wonder As she walked
up and down before the thousands in that
crowded hall, she discussed topics that re-
quired rather the scope and grasp of Sena-
tors mind. or historians, and presented
them to the enthusiastic crowd with a huency
that was wholly without hindrance. How to
such youthful lips flowed SO easily such state
ly language! How over every gesture and
look, every cadence of voice, reigned such alb
solute self-possession How, amid the
gracefulness of that virgin beauty, could ac-
cumulate the thunder to denounoe a laggard
as she denounced Mcclellan, execrate traitors
as she did Beauregard and Davis! Effortless
and modest as it all was, it was too uncom-
monsto seem natural. 1t was woman ii
the exercise of aninspired gift. @
A lady friend, who met Miss Dickinson al
party at the house of Mr.. Charles Gould
tells US that the eloquent damsel there helc
a long and earnest conversation with Mr.. Ere
mont. and that her manner in society is Sc
tranquil and thoughtful as to inspire great re
! spect Her ex preston is absorbed and def
erential. and she is much admired by the en-
inent men with whom she chances to con
verse. Mr.. Fremont says that she reminds
him very strongly of Rachel tine French wo

CFrom the Cleveland Herald. ]

This fighting friend of the Union has again
returned to New York, after an Intellectual
visit to Washington to obtain permission to
serve his adopted country once more in the
field, The people may we'll marvel at the
manner in which the truly earnest and active
officers in the war are 'swhistled down the
wind" by the powers that be. Gen. Sigel
has shown his ability to command on many
battlefield, and his zeal, courage, and ex-
perence, should be made available against
the enemy without delay. He is strong in
the confidence of those who have served un-
der him, and had Slgel been permitted to re-
tain his old command the fortunes of the day
would probably have been different at Chan
cellorsville. z
The Tribune states that Gen. Sigel has in
vain offered and asked to be assigned to any
duty, provided he might be thought compe-
tent even. if it were no more than that of an
aid on the staff of the General commanding
the Army of the Potomac. How long viii
the military authorities at Washington con-
tinue to think they can afford to dispense
with the services of loyal, earnest, devoted
capable men, who are willing to be put any
where they can be useful When they have
ceased to cherish and act on such opinions this
war will be considerably nearer its end thar
