THR REDUCTION OF THE PAPER DUTY.-
The House Of Representatives voted, on
Wednesday, to instruct the ways and
means committee to consult in reference
to reducing or suspending the duty on
sorelgn Tni,1.tinG paper, A Washington
dispatch reports that all the mn oe's .!
that committee but one--Mr, Morrill, of
Vermont-are in favor OF reducing the
duty, and so there is some reason to
hope for favorable report. The paper
monopolists will, of course, make hard
fight to keep the duty at its present pro-
hibitory figure, but sometimes a cause
prevails because il is right and just, and
SO we are hopeful of good results yet
from the combined action of the Ameri-
can press. There is not now single
penny paper in the loyal states, and a
short time ago there was one In every
leading city. The Philadelphia Ledger
and the Baltimore Sun kept along at the
penny rate until very lately, when they
succumbed TO fate and high priced pa
per, and doubled their prices. The Ledg-
err claims to have sacrificed $100,000
while waiting and hoping for brighter
days that would enable it to continue
without an advance. Unless Congress
is determined to unjustly and cause
lessly burden the people, and at the
same time deprive the government of a
much needed and fruitful source of re
venue, this measure will receive favora-
BILE consideration and action.

Camp Russell. Va, Dec. Is, 1864.
Editor Rutland Herald Our division
is in camp four miles from Winchester,
and we are patiently waiting orders to
build winter quarters, strike tents for
move or to do something else agreeable.
General Sheridan will not tell us what
he intends TO do this winter, so If we
make us good quarters-and then be OBJ
liged to leave them, we can have no one
to scold. But probably we shall leave
this camp in q very short time. There
has been much cheering aud excitement
in this army over the news from Sher
mans and Thomas armies In the West
and South. To-day the artillery has
made the Valley shake with its thunder
tones of JOY, and all the musicians will
be obliged to drink their coffee hot this
evening, for they have been blowing
lively music through their instruments
ever since daylight.
On the I'd of this month our division
returned from trip over the Allegheny
mountains. We were gone from camp
four days, and marched as far as Moor
field, where we arrived in time to help the
rear guard tire rebel raiders out Of the
town in hurry. Moortleld is pleasant
| ly situated in South Branch Valley,
which is very fertile, Judging from APP
pearances. If we had not been soldiers
we should have thought Gen. Custer was
| giving US a pleasure trip. We had beau
| tilul weather throughout the march, and
| our thoughts were not saddened by the
loss of comrades In battle. The roac
across the mountains is good one, anc
Is built through the forest, around anc
over high mountains, across swift-run
ming streams and through frighttu
gorges. 1t was romantic sight TO SCI
our long cavalry column winding it
way up and over high mountains till i
seemed lost in the horizon, and thei
down, down among the rocky mountain
till all seemed lost again in dark "a
vines. The scenery among the ALE
ghanies is delightful, but wild In the ex
IRENE. Only a few mountainesrs and
plenty of bears and wolves and othe
wild beasts, live there.
Winter has made US 4 severe and quit
a long visit, especially to the soldier
who enjoy the comforts of hy-tent
pitched close to the ground. We haS
had snow to NE depth of eight niche
and there is plenty ron cur use on I'll
ground now.
Col. Wells Is again in command of ii

Is very good at the present time; BIT
few men are sick, and all are in goo

REBEL WAR MArgRIAL.-We had sup
posed that Gen. Sheridan was the great
taker of rebel artillery, but Gen. Thorn
as promises to excel him In that line.
1t Is now reported that he has COMPEL
ed Hood to transfer him sixty one
pieces which, If former estimates are
correct, would leave but four remaining
in Hoods army This is loss not on
" almost total, but well nigh irrepara-
BILE under the circumstances. With the
rebel railroads so generally broken up
aud Thomas in such close pursuit, 1t will
be a long time before Hood can replace
even enough OF his artillery to make it
of any practical value.
The urgent order of Gen. Breckinri6, 20
In reference to the use of lead, also tends
to the impression that the rrebels are

promptly at the seasonable hour of nine.
Although the night was dark, and the

mond papers of the 10Th and Charleston
papers of the 10th have come to hand,
and they give q variety Of interesting
extracts, OF which we have room for
only two or three.
The Richmond Examiner contains
very gloomy editorial on the rebel mill
tary situation. 1t says Hood has been
defeated, blames 5eff. Davis for the dis
aster, and declares that Sherman Is sue

Georgia without an army to defeat him.
The Charleston Mercury of the 10th
says; ....

Fort McAllister. That post was carried
early yesterday morning by assault, In
which heavy column of Sherman

the enemy will next make desperate
effort to gain possession of Genesis Point.

SINGULAR DETECTION or A MURDERER.
The following history of case of
murder, now under examination in AL
bany, Ia given in the New York World.
1t Is another among the many evidences
that-labor to conceal it as the criminal
may-"murder will out"
"Owen Thompson, a cattle dealer of
New York, accustomed to purchase in
the Albany market, usually carried on
his person $4,000 or $4,000 on his visits
there. On the 10th OF September he had
been engaged all day at West Albany,
but had made no purchases. BE went
out In the evening with stranger to
look at some cattle that had come from
Saratoga, and were placed In the most
remote pens in the market. Next day
at sunrise he was found dying, his head
broken with a slang shot, tits supposed
his money, $1,000 and check for $4,000,
gone. Who had done the deed Z Who
was the stranger that had taken Temp
son of to show him the cattle? A man
with a slouched hat had been seen with
Thompson. He had bantered him about
betting, and offered to stake thousands
upon Lincolns election. Thompson
offered to put up any amount on the
other side. He produced his well stuff
ed wallet, and 1t was noticed the stran-
ger stuck to him all day after this.
One of she drovers, Center of Tribes
Hill, recollected the man who had asked
him, Didn't you keep bar somewheres
Havn't / seen you before But though
the magistrates Of Albany offered re-
ward of $780,, and the drovers added
| $4,000 to 1t, there was no clue TO the
| murderer.
A month afterward, as the drover
| Center was riding in the cars to Sche-
nectady, he fell into accidental converse
ton with q passenger, who, after a few
brief words, abruptly asked him, Havn't
you kept bar somewheres Havn't
seen YOU beforeP Yes he replied, q
must have seen you at West Albany.
The passenger denied this; but Center
replied, Yes, I am sure, and arrest
YOU as the murderer of Thompson The
| mans slouched hat had been replaced by
another, his moustache had disappeared
his dress was different. 1t was thu
question, the accent, the tone of voice
that were the marks of Identification.
