statue of Gen. Berry. 1t is a larger than

admirable counterfeit prcsentment OF our
gallant General. He is represented stand

a spy glass, resting on stump around
which is carelessly thrown his cloak, while
the left hand is placed in n characteristic
position behind hi. back. There is COM
manding simplicity in the form and fea-
lures, unweakened by any ornamental &C
eessories. The details are workedup with
great nicely of touch, and tine work shows
great improvement en- the part of the ar

Generals grave in Rockland. We are
glad to learn that the genius of our young
artist is appreciated abroad. He has Or

with which to stir the hearts of ignorant

"Don't be alarmed, gentlemen, for any Wis

branding yourselves with IN ine(aceable stig-

prolonging this war, by helping traitors and
thwarting the efforts of our gallant armies

Our Progress.

No man can candidly recount tho events OF
even month without admitting that we
have made steady advance, and that the
rebel strength is gradually but surely, being
exhausted. The enormous lies set forth by
the peace orators at Syracuse aud elsewhere,
can only beequaled by the father OF lies him
self. and il family likeness is to be taken as
evidence, they are his legitimate children.
We have half the entire rebel territory, and
have destroyed moro than half their strength,
yet these men have the audacity to say we
are not making progress. The time is not
very FAR oil when they will find the progress

Newspapers.

r, no other business probably has the rebel
lion borne more heavily than upon the newspa-
pers of the country. In the insurgent States
but few newspapers remain, and they ut such
prices a. must greatly restrict their circulation.
In the loyal States, the taxes necessary to pre-
serve the integrity Of the country and keep the
Republic from closing in ruin and death, have
greatly increased the expenses Of every news
paper. and the currency imitation has added
still more to the burdens OF publication. Pap
or, the principal item in q Journal with large
edition, Is three times the price that was paid
for 1t before the war, and the white paper alone
ON which some Of our journals are printed
costs the publisher more than he gets in return
from the purchaser for the sheet when printed
upon. The effect Of this has been to make ma
ny Of the journals advance the prices for their
papers double and treble what they formerly
were, and others have in addition advanced the
rate Of advertising, upon which government
tax Of three per cent is imposed, in addition to
he tax on the gross receipts Of the business,
the payment OF licence, income tax and all the
other pecuniary obligations which are found
necessary to maintain the stability Of the Gov
eminent. Even with all these expedients, news
papers find themselves greatly crippled, and
the continual rise in the cost Of printing paper.
as well as every other article used and services
rendered in publishing Office, is suggestive OF
still another advance in price. this time more
general and concerted in its operations. AL
the editors and publishers Of the State OF Maine
have just held convention in regard to this
subject. and they have resolved to advance on
the LIST Of September next. the rate OF subscrip-
ton to their respective journals from twenty
five to fifty per cent over rates Of one year ago.
They have also resolved to advance their rate
of advertising from twenty five to fifty per cent.
over rates one year ago. The Western journals
have done the same, and to larger extent. and
there are Indications that this is not the end of
II. The public must therefore make up its mind
that cheap reading, like other Injuries, will have
to be dispensed with till after the rebellion is
subdued.-Phiiadslphi Ledger.
