TO SUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS.

From and after Monday, July II, 1864,
we shall charge for THE DAILY OHIO
STATESMAN, and for The TRI-WEEKLY
STATESMAN, the prices below specified. We
have not before made any material advance
in our subscription rates. Within two
years, the cost of publishing daily news
paper in Columbus has increased nearly
one hundred per cent. The price of white
paper has advanced to twenty cents per
pound, and is still going up-being more
than double what it used to sell for; the
price of type-setting is more than fifty per
cent. higher than it was; press-work is one
hundred per cent. higher; rents and fuel
have doubled, and every other item which
enters into the cost of publication has ad-
vanced in like proportion. To meet these
increased expenses, we raised the price of
advertising as much as practicable; but the
late sudden advance in the cost of white pa
per leaves no alternative but an advance of
subscription rates.
1t will be seen that the new scale of prices
is an increase of but twenty-five per cent
on the old rates, while the cost of publica-
ton and of living has increased nearly four
times that amount. We purpose to return
to the old standard of rates, whenever the
price OF sprint and labor shall fall enough
to render 1t possible. We believe that no
fair-minded reader will object to the new
rates, nor consider them more than right
and necessary under the circumstances:

All Quiet at Atlanta.

ga CHOLERA INFANTUM.- The mortality
among children from this fearful complaint
is terrible during the warm weather. In
all large cities fully one-third Of the deaths
during the summer occurs among children
under two years Of age. Physicians, as a
class, do not seem to understand the nature
Of the complaint, and hence they fail to
cure it. The success Of DR.. Aborn in this
complaint has bean almost unparalleled.

an idea of appointing peace commissioners
to Richmond, and of rendering an armis-

movement is already on foot which will
cause them quite as much grief.

held by our left wing, which is represented
as perfectly secure and easily held by our
forces.

EFFICIENT MASTERING OFFICERs.-The
145th regiment of National Guards return
ed to this city on Monday, and have been
waiting ever since to be paid off. We un-
derstand that they were mustered out with
much difficulty, and the paymaster was
prepared to pay them their hard earned
money; but the mastering officers in this
city found it convenient to indulge in extra
doses Of the ardent, got drunk and neglect
ed to return their rolls to the proper officer,
and consequently the regiment was not
paid. The men were wandering about the
city for several days, patiently awaiting
the sobering effects of hook and soda upon
the mastering officers. ~

The HUFF SHOOTING AFFRAY.-Charles
Huff the young desperate arrested for
shooting Thomas Bakes, had an examine
tion before the Mayor yesterday, which
elected no new or important facts not given
in the account published in THE STATESMAN
of Tuesday morning. The accused was ar
Iaigned upon two charges-one for an as
sault and attempt to kill committed upon the
soldier Casper, another for shooting Bakes
with intent to kill; upon the first charge
he was required to give bail in the sum of
$1,000; upon the second charge his bail was
fixed at $500. Huff was unable to furnish
the required security, and he was COM
mitted to the county jail to await trial.
Bakes is still lying in critical condition
still clinging to life by a slender thread.
Cert. Broadbelt, arrested as an accomplice
Of Huff's, was discharged, there being no
evidence of any participation on his part
in the crime.

LICENSED SUBSTITUTE Brownsville
substitute brokers of Detroit, says an ex-
change, have been compelled to take out
licenses, and their names are published by
the Detroit papers. They are as plentiful
as vultures after battle, and about as ra-
pacious. A similar publication of names
of those engaged in the business in this
city might effect good object.

ABE.-Some of the periodical dealers have

tits horrible picture and recalls to mind
that, as Republican German paper in St.
Louis says, the Union newspapers of Paris,
in 1861, protested against exhibiting Lin
coins picture in their show-windOws, on
the ground that rebellion against a man
with such face must appear justified to all
the world.

THE CITY.

POLICE CoURT.-There was an unusually
heavy docket In the Mayors Court yester-
day morning, and an uncommon number
of besotted countenances, feeble bodies and
shabby turn-outs marched up to the judg-
ment seat and received their doom. A row
occurred at a miserable doggery on the cor
ner Of Spring and Third streets the night
previous, between two parties of disrepu-
table females, and the arrest of all concern
ed swellcd the station house quota. Two
bummers, named Emmerick and Jones, in
tcrfered with the officer who attempted to
arrest the women, insisting upon the ter
garments being allowed to fight. The two
men were fined $40 each, and the women
were dismissed with fine of So
One of the females was quite young,
and apparently unused to the path of
vice and degradation she is now
pursuing, AS coincidence, there appeared
as witness against this novice fashionably
dressed demirep, blazing with jewelry and
rustling in costly silks, who was immedi-
ately recognized as an old habtue of the
city prison, an incorrigible vagrant, who
few years ago appeared as regularly in the
police court as did the judge himself. The
abundance of currency and the general de-
moralization of the times aided materially
in elevating her from the gutter to that
pinnacle of well dressed vice from which
she can look down with q species OF con-
tempt and pity upon her poorer but not
more wicked frail sisters.
The further proceedings Of the court
were directed to the assessment of the
usual fines upon vagrants, drunks, disor-
derlies and belligerent niggers, of whom
there were about dozen.

NO Battle on the Weldon Road
since Sunday Our Loss Over
ANN

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac,
Aug. 23.-No engagement occurred since
Sunday. The enemy has fallen back as pre-
viously stated, to their lines two miles from
Petersburg, and are erecting strong works
similar to those we encountered on our ar
rival here. The rebels work night and day,
evidently expecting an attack.
Richmond papers acknowledge heavy loss
In officers and men on Sunday, but claim
they took three thousand prisoners. Our
losses in the 9TH corps are seventeen officers
and one hundred and thirty-two men killed,
seventy-four officers and seven hundred and
eighty-four men wounded, ninety-nine of
ficers and two thousand eight hundred and
ffty-three men missing. The 9th corps lost
about three hundred, which make our total
loss four thousand two hundred and fifty
five, in these commands. No doubt many
will yet turn up. Crawfords division sus-
tanned the greatest proportion, he having
lost about two thousand men, mostly pris-
Oners.
Col. Tilden, who was missing after the
action of Friday, is safe. He was taken
prisoner and with others conveyed to Pc
tersburg, but during the excitement of
loading them on the cars he managed to
eludethe vigilance of the guard and ran
into some bushes, where he lay concealed
till chance gave him an opportunity to get
away, and he came into our lines Monday
uninjured.
