The Price of Paper.

What's the matter with the paper makers?
They do not appear to have heard of the
decline in gold. When the latter went up
to aSs they promptly advanced the price OF
paper to 25 cents per pound because ofthe
rise In the value OF chemicals" +" This
was submitted to. But now that gold
has declined to 100, and chemicals have
gone down in proportion, paper remains at
-25. Printing paper of superior qntlity can
now be imported from Europe and laid down
lin'New Y ork at l8 cents per pound. rOf
course this will he done. And perhaps the
paper makers will persist in keeping up the
price until they force all the lesdbg con
sumers to bring their supplies iram abroad.
Then it is easy to tell what the effect will be
upon the American manufacturers. 1t is a
fact that paper mills in Great Britain are
now, to a large extent, suspended, for want
of market tor their products, and news
print, far superior to that now used in this
country, is selling at s to 81 cents per pound.
deliverable on board al Liverpool. Ofcourse
it is not the interest of newspaper publishers
to do anything that will permanently cripple
American manufacturers, but they cannot
be, expected to pay % cents per pound, for
ordinary paper, when they can Import a
much better quality at q saving of eight or
ten cents per pound. We warn. them to look
to their interests before it is TOO late. -,,
Paper cannot be maintained at cents in
England and IS cents in the United States
with gold at 100 or less. That's Certain

either the positive suppression of the rebel

Preparation for a. Continuation, OF
isae War.

From the Richmond Enquirer Sept a.
The present military status demands not
only the most earnest effort to recruit the
army, but also imperatively calls for a
thorough and complete reorganization of
the army. Between Lincoln and McClel-
Ian there is no prospect for peace the
war must continue under either candidate.
If Mcclellan should be elected, we shall.
in all probability, witness the reformation
of the United States army into regular
army, with regiments of certain numbers.
and always kept on good war footing
The Contederacy must reOrganize its army,
and, abandoning the Provisional organize
ton, consolidate the regiments and reor-
ganize the army as regular army. The
teeming millions of France and Russia
could not support an army organized as is
the present Provisional army Its frame
work is so large that the effort to keep it
together necessarily makes skeletons of
companies, regiments, brigades and divs-
ions. The frame must be reduced to suit
the filling in. There are too many old,
battle-worn regiments, and as we are
not fighting for glory, but for exist
ence as individuals and States, it is in
cumbent On us TO consolidate these
now wOrn-dOwn regiments. 1t is now
more than ever necessary to husband
our resources; we cannot any longer afford
to preserve organizations because of the
glory they have won our safety demands
that this sacrifice be made, and men who
have won this noble reputation will freely
lay this sacrifice upon the altar of
their country. Our necessities now re-
quire a compact regular army, counting
no more regiments for State than that
State can maintain, by annual accession at
the standard of members to be known as
the qcar. footing. 81 uis oaeena para BEL
luan. Whatever may be the result of the
Presidential election, let US prepare for
war; let US abandon everything that re-
tards our action, and, closing up the ranks,
prepare to meet the increased army of the
enemy, not with numbers, but with in
creased efficiency. There is no practi-
cal difficulty in this reorganization but it
will encounter smuch opposition. 1t will
not take one musket from the army though
it will turn out some officers. Adjoining
one hundred and twenty-five, rank and
file, to an infantry company, as its war
footing, will give twelve hundred and fifty
rank and file to a regiment. This num-
Der can be maintained by Consumption, land
the efficiency of a regiment always pre-
served. Deserti0ns are more frequent
from weak and puny organizations than
from those Of full ranks; duties are done
more arduous in weak than in strong reg
iments; morale and l'esprit du corps more
perfect and enthusiastic in full than in de-
pleted regiments.

From the Albany Argus
At the commencement Of the rebellion,
Andrew johnson, the present abolition

the United States, not included within the
States, making an equitable and Just division
OF said territory, south Of which line slavery
shall be recognized and protected as property.
by ample and full constitutional guarantees.
and north of which line it shall be prohibited
2. The repeal Of al acts Of Congress in re-
gard 10 the restoration CT all fngitives from
labor, and an explicit declaration in the Cons,-
tuition, that it is the duty of each State for itself
to return fugitive slaves when demanded by
the proper authority or to paw double their
cash value out of the treasury of the State
3. An amendment to the Constitution. d.
claring that slavery shall exist in navy yards.
arscnals, &c, or not as it may be admitted or
