sugar to use with cranberries, the follow

otherwise might be: That paper say. tina,

The State of Maryland contains up.

The answer is to be found in the one
word, Prejudice. Now, We are not of

among men. We have seen enough and
felt enough of human nature to know
that if there Is one trait thereof more nat

when prejudice is cherished at the ex.

regard it as species of monomsnis, aud
to upbraid it as inexcusably absnrd.-I
That prejudice must be. Irrational, un-
reasoning, reckless, indeed, which is cher

best and dearest personal interests. But
such is the prejudice in the Border

The price Of everything We use in print
ing, and all kinds Of produce has been
gradually going up, till we now pay dou-
bic what we formerly paid, for almost ev-
ery article we use. Labor is also very
much higher. Of course we cannot be
expected to print paper at the old price
under such state of things. "Spunky
Lamoille" expects us also to be spunky.
and to make the enterprise Icing, pay
ing one. Everybody would laugh at us,
and call us fool if we should be Obliged
to suspend, simply because we did not
charge enough. The people of the coun-
ty are willing to sustain paper, and are
ready to pay for it sum sufficient to give
its publisher good living. They will
not pay us, however, more than we ask
and so, in order to get a paying price, We
must ask it. We propose, therefore, to
charge $l.50 in advance, and at the rate
Of So 90 per year for all subscriptions
not paid in advance. We are not alone
in this advance in price, Other papers
have long since increased the price of
their subscriptions. We print a paper
for the sake Of the proft, and not as a
pastime, and we intend to make it pay, if
We know how to, We know all our pat
rons will say That's right" and Just
what we want" We place the payment
Of arrears at So because we want every
body to pay in advance. Circumstances
over which we have no control will COM
pei US to adhere strictly to these terms.
Papers sent out of the county will be dis
continued at the expiration Of the time
for which payment has heen received.
Our subscribers can have till the middle
of July to settle arrears at the old rates.
after which time we must do as here sta.

OUR COUNTY AND THE DRAFT.

/. We are indebted to Deputy Marshal
G. W. Hendee, for statement of the
number of surplus men furnished by the
towns in this county, and also the number
of men enrolled as the account now stands
in the Marshal's office. The coming call
will probably be for not less than 800 900
men. The number required to meet such
a call, it is thought, will be about to ev-
cry 100 enrolled Reckoning in this way
each town can readily judge of the num-
Der it will be called upon to send. Cred
it will be given for all men enlisted prior

Peter T. Washburn, Aujt g. Insp. Gen.
Of Vermont.
SIR Il have the honor to submit the
following report of the operations of this
regiment, since the 10th inst, the date
Of my previous report:
Our Brigade advanced toward Spott-
sylvania on the 10Th inst, and took up d
position before the entertainments of the
enemy which we occupied during the | lth.
At A. M, on the 18th, was ordered to
advance and attack the enemy. having
the 9th N. H. Vols. on my right, and
the 3lst Me- Vols. on my left, in line,
our brigade being first on the left Of the
I'd Army Corps ~
The enemy's skirmishers we're soon met
and driven in about one mile, upon their
main lines.
AT 8 A. NJ. we met the enemy in line Of
battle, outside his intrcnchments, and i'm
mediately opened fire. The enemy being
in a ravine, we were compelled to occupy
the crest of the low ridge. in his front.
distant perhaps thirty rods from his line
of battle. Notwithstanding the appar.
ent advantage which the enemy at first
held. his position finally proved his ruin
as he was unable either to withdraw into
his entertainments or to drive us from his
front. ~"
AT 7A.M having exhausted our am
munitiOn, $40 rounds per many as we'll as

begging his staff officers to put an end to
bis misery, his heroic soul forsook the
turmoil of this weary. worrying world.
There were other scenes along those
lines drawn 50 close up to the enemy not
50 grave, and others Of grim kind of
jollity. For example, man would sing
out from behind our breastworks the sig.
nal Of attack Forward. guide centre, I"
whcreupon the rebels plainly hearing all
that was said, would start up from behind
their parapet, and our men, just peering
above their pits. and drawing bead"
on the uprising rebels, would bring many
one down with bloody gift, dispatched
with unerrinS aim. So, again, one of the
rebels calling a parley, would cry out:
"Yauks, amt it about your time to cook
coffee q f." Yes" replies Yank (" Then,
mjoius Mr.. Rebel. If you won shoot
while l make my johnny cake, won't shoot
while you make your coffee" Whereupon
the culinary truce was observed with SC u
pulous fidelity. 1t is in such ways that
grim-visaged war, of time, smoothes his
wripkled face.

On the 2sth he came up with Price, at
Newtown, and after q severe fight of three
or four hours he drove the enemy from the

hundred men, including two colonels Our
total loss was about l20.
The Federal troops consisted of Ford's

Price retreated toward Cassville, and

THE CAPTURE OF PLYMOUTH, 4kc.


NEW YoRK, Nov. Z.
Richmond papers of the 4th have the
following concerning the sinking Of the
Albemarle and the capture of Plymouth,
n. c.:
The Dispatch says the capture of Ply
mouth, N. G., by the enemy is explained
by later accounts. A lack of sufficient
watchfulness on the part Of our troops
seems TO have been the prime cause Of the
loss of the town.
1t seems that on Thurs lay night, party
of eighteen men belonging to the block
aiding feet in Albemarle sound, some eight
or ten miles from Plymouth, took small
torpedo-boat and started for Plymouth
| On the way they encountered q smsl! boat
containing six of our men, stationed in the
river as a picket-gusrd, but all of them
| being asleep, they were t. ken prisoners.
Then proceeding to Plymouth, they found
the Albemarle at her wharf, and, running
the torpedo-boat under her amidships, blew
her up, causing damage from which she
soon sank.
Infantry was stationed on the wharf,
who fred on the sssaulting party, and after
the Albemarle sank, captured the whole Of
them, but no one was killed and only one
wounded.
There was no force of the enemy near
Plymouth, with the exception of five or SIX
gunboats in the Sound, but the loss Of the
Albemarle opened the Roanoke to them
and hence the fall of the town. ...
Captain Roberts, it is stated, commanded
the Albemarle.
It is understood there were no lives LOST
on the Albemarle, as there were very few
men on board at the time the explosion Oc-
Cured.

The report that Mr.. General G, B. Nc

hirelings, by rendering his resignation, is
untrue; he is still pstrioticslly serving
his country by drawing six thousand dol
lars year from the Treasury for doing
nothing.
Advices from all quarters are encourag-
ing. The heavy rains, if continued, will
bs somewhat against US in the Eastern
States, but there is no reason known here
for abating one jot from the perfect con-
idence of success with which the Union
party was inspired by the October victo-
ries.
Fears of an outbreak in New York are
at an end.
An officer of the Mississippi squadron

had gone to Athens to head him of.
