perSoMErHINa YoRyouR kEADERs TO
THINx ABOUT. The following, from the
Athens Messenger, so nearly expresses our
viows on the subject that We adopt it as our
own, and commend it to the attention Of
the readers Of the CHRONICLE:
We have often wondered why IL is that
persons who are accustomed to purchasing
all kinds Of cotton goods at from 100 to
500 per cent advance on last years prices,
should meet us with such a horrihed ex-
preston of amazement on being told that
the price Of the Messenger to az persons
three months in.arrears is too dollars per
alteration) have been standing at the head
Of these columns, ''time whereof the mem.
ory Of man runneth not to the contrary,
and yet, when we inform them that it is
absolutely necessary to mean just what We
say, We have had men glare upon Us as if
they considered it the most abominable
sxtortion that could be conceived. - ~
The advance, in printing material has
suhjected us to positive loss Of at least
$500 per annun, and We were foolish enough
to think that we deserved some credit for
the sacrifice but we have never found any
body else expressing these views. No.
unffequently We arc bluffed square of by
being told that they will take tho 'Advo-
cate, " for instance, "that is much larger,
and only fifty cents more in price," To
this We never. have made the slightest OBJ.
jection. They have all raised their price,
and we are not in competition with any o.
them. The best friends Of the Advocate
would not think it proper for US to initiate
it, either in matter or style. In publishing
County paper we occupy different sphere
and shall endeavor to meet the wants ol
the citizens of the county, and will con
tinue, till paper shall make another advance
to furnish the Messenger, as heretofore, a
one dollar and fifty cents. if paid in thre
months, and two dollars will be charged il
al cases after that time. To these term
we can see no honorable objection. Thre,
months ia, time enough for any:oae to ask +
pay one dollar and half. Those VIII
prefer to wait can have the choice of termi
but for our lives we cannot see why ma
must always pay cash for dry goods ant
groceries, and grudge the pittanoe he pay
for his county paper at the end Of one @
two, or three years.

We condense from the Dubuque Herald
of the 22d: Col Stone puplishcsa lette,
from Capt. Weiscr OF DEBORAH, denying
that he CIV. was the author of the McGre-
gor Nees letter, charging Stone with pol,
:rooney. The Meus supports Stone for
Governor. When he was first nominated
the editor of the News published the letter
to crafty a "brave soldier" The TINES of
McGregor said the author was Captain
Wciscr. Capt w. now says if he can
find the author of the letter he will give
him the extent Of the law"
The Captain can get any number OF
copies Of the paper at this place-the au-
thor will probably allow Mr.. Gilmore, of
the Necs, to report him to the Captain but
we do not see how he can lao man for
writing letter which the public assumed
to have been written by the gaIlaet Capt.
himself We guess the less said the better
in indication Of Col Stones military
career, but as we know nothing of him
aside from general report, we forbcar to re-
iterate the charges of military and domestic
infid.lity which are made upon him. Let
his friends and supporters settle his char
acter among themselves. He ought to be
a gentleman or he should not be candidate
for Governor Of Iowa.

LErTERs.-We are in receipt of lots Of let
ters for publication some from the army
and some Fl ON other places. Some of them
are too long and dry for printing-our
columns cannot carry lengthy letters unless
We exclude all other matter-some of them
are argumentative and philosophical on the
war; when it will end who caused it and
who is now to blame for any failure and to
praise for any success. These last ideas
are the staple Of northern newspapers, and
VIC have them elaborated ad nauseum in all
our exchanges. II our war correspondents
will write US facts and interesting personal
incidents, we will be glad to publish, but
political discussions Of lengthy nature
are not to the taste Of our readers. Dissen-
sions founded on the misstatements of op-
posing presses are abundant enough here
now, and we prefer to do all we can to
bring our countrymen at home to one gen.
erous, patriotic style Of discussion rathe,
than to teach them the beauty of hating
each other and therehy strengthen the
hands Of the southern rebellion. General
Tuttlc's talk suits US.

died at Dubuque on Saturday, Aug. 10Th,
at A. NJ, Of consumption, surrounded by
wife, children and friends. Our pen can
not do duty in expressing the sorrow we
feel for this loss to ouselvcs socially and to
the State of Iowa. So true, so noble, so
generous man has rarely been borne to
that bourne whence no traveller returns
Mr.. Samuels was born in Virginia and died
at the early age of 40 years.
Col. Hughes OF Deco,ah, in command of
the 36th Iowa, died at Port Hudson, of
Chronic diarrhGa a few days since. Capt.
Cleghorn brought his body as far as Cairo
and there gave it to mother earth
Lieut.. Stevens of Frankville, of the 3sth,

of disease, about the same time that Col.
Hughes expired. Capt Cleghorn says a
metallic coffin of proper size could not be
obtained for Lieut.. Stevens, and he was
buried in :he south.
