THE PRIcE OF PRINTINa PApER..

THE PRICE OF PAINTING Parma
The exorbitant price Of printing paperis
become serious matter TO newspaper pub.
fishers throughout ithe country. We ne
tice that publishers in The West have just
held meeting in Cincinnati to adopt meas
ures to keep the price down to something
like its value, as it has gone up nearly
one-third since last autumn. The New
York Express also says:
"The enormous price of paper was be-
fore the Associated Press of the country
at the meeting held in this city on We'd
neslay. Some of the members Of the As.
sociation have resolyedto enter again upon
the importation Of paper as .whatis sold
here for III aud Is cents per pound can
be bought abroad for "a cents. This
would make the importation profitable to
the importer. Paper which commanded
8 and 8 cents a pound in 1861, is now
sold, and Of poor quality, at 1S cents

Personal Security.

There is deep sense of insecurity be-
ginning to pervade the minds of the com
munity with regard to the protection OF
their persons and property. Lawlessness
seems to prevail everywhere, in high as in
low places. Those charged with the high
and responsible duties of executing the
laws aud administering justice with an
impartial hand, have been found shame
fully derelict in the performance of their
duties. That strict impartiality and iu-
flexible integrity in the administration of
the laws to which we were formerly &C.
cnstomed, is now no more to be SEEM
Political prejudice and partisan bigotry
are the influences that eontlol the actions
and decisions Of many of our public Off
GERS; and the fact that man belongs to
this or that party, has much more to do
with his obtaining justice at the hands
OF the executors Of the law, than the mer.
its of his case. ri.
Is itany wonder that the people are
growing uneasy under this sense of inse-
ourlty of their property, reputation and
hVss Is it any wonder that they are be-
Cunning to inquire whether there is any

cially the right of each State to order and

SECESSION IN CANADA--The editor of
the Montreal True Witness, argues in the
following style for the dismemberment Of
Canada East from Canada West. An
swering the Measurements Of the yMoatre-
al Herald, he says; rs, @s.,i ~
We never insisted that it is just that
the "Protestants in Upper Canada,"
whether in majority or minority,
''must always submit to the dictation Of
the Catholics" Of Lower Canada. We
have argued indeed that, If two men will
insist upon riding upon one horse, one
must ride behind: but we have never in
sisted upon one horse for the t,oo men,
Rather have we argued that, if neither
will willingly accept the inferior position
which riding double neeessitates, the
cheapest and most equitable plan is for
each to get an animal of bis own, to ride
upon. So shall they both be able to jog
on pleasantly and tremendously together
along the same road, and towards one
goal. We have no desire to make Uppe,
Canada ride behind US but please God
we will never submit to ride behind Up
per Canada.

The Futility Of Conquest.

r.
Two years ago we drove the Rebels out
of the entire country surrounding Padu-
cab, The section is now all occupied by
the Rebel General Forrest. Immediately
after, Gen Grant advanced intoaWest
Tennessee, aud during the summer of
1862 conquered the whole of that region
it is now almost entirely in Rebel hands.
The same summer, desperate battles were
fought at Corinth, Iuka and Hatchie, aud
in every struggle victory crowned our
arms; but every one of these points is
now in undisputed possession Of the eue-
my. In the fall of the year, Gen. Grant
occupied La Grange, in Tennessee, Holly
Springs and Oxford in Mississippi, and
the crossing of the Yockney river, some
twelve miles south of Oxford, while his
cavalry were thrown forward nearly to
Granada the whole of this territory is
now abandoned. .a#rtf ass
At the same time our forces held pos
session of all the country eastward to the
line of the Mobile aud Ohio railroad, which
is also, Of course, in undisputed possession
of the enemy.
A year ago this winter and spring our
army took possession of the country back
of Lake Providence, also of nearly all the
region between the Mississippi and Yazoo
rivers; afterwards occupied Jackson and
Canton, Mississippi; in the summer we
arranged for the permanent occupation of
the territory east of Vicksburg, and be-
tween the Big Black and Yazoo rivers,
about the same time our troops were push
ed westward from Vicksburg into Louisi-
ana, routing the enemy from the entire
vicinity, distance of from seventy to one
hundred miles. Every square foot Of the
territory described is now surrendered.
In short, from Cairo to New Orleans, in
the Mississippi Valley proper, the FEEDER
al flag, as we are informed, does not float
over single inch of territory out Of the
range of gunboats on the river, and no
loyal man is known to live in any portion
of the territory mentioned as conquered
but now surrendered. Mlwaukie Ne,os

From the Washington Chronicle, { Admin,
. The Southern Army. at.

Any man who fancies that we are go
ing to Richmond without further and most
determined fighting is mistaken. The men
we fight are Americans. They are free
born citizens, and of the proudest of the
proud. The rebel army of Virginia is
composed of the elite of the Southern peo-
ple 1t reckon in its ranks men of educa-
ton and position, full of the pride of family
and accustomed to exalt courage into a
God-like virtue. 'w # .-'- .a
They are burning with passionate an
tipathy to a. people whom they have thor
oughly misunderstood, formerly despised,
but are now rapidly learning to respect
They are not to be cowed, though, when
thoroughly vanquished, they will have
the manhood to own it. '. ..t'%
But, until they are vanquished, they will
fight with an energy and desperation
that must command the admiration of ev-
cry heroic spirit, even while deploring
their folly and despising their cause
The body of Lees army is made up of We.
terans, who are used to exposure, familiar
with hardship, enured to discipline, and
are mistaken by the thunder of battle.
Such troops can be beaten only by a
succession Of desperate struggles. Nor
are they likely to become demoralized.
They will yield to an inevitable necessity
only when they recognize it as inevitable.
That they will be made to feel this, we
have not the slightest doubt. ,'

THE CRoPs.--The lateness of the opening Of
spring and the early rains, retarded our farmers in
getting in their crops Persons farming hilly or
sandy land got their oats sowe1 and corn planted
in very good time; but there remains much corn
yet to be put in the ground. This is unavoida-
Bile, as fiat or level clay land could not be got
ready to plant at the usual season. Gardens are
also unusually backward. We learn, however,

PROBABLE WAR BETWEEN SPAIN AND
PERu.-There is some important news
from Peru. 1t seems that a special em-
bassador OF Spain to Peru not having been
able to settle a difficulty between the two
governments to his own satisfaction, the
Admiral of the Spanish feet off Peru, at
once, without any previous declaration Of
war, seized the Chincha Guano Islands,
made prisoners of the Governor and the
officers of the islands, and captured q Pc
ruvian transport with its officers. He
then even made an attempt to surprise
and capture tho Peruvian squadron 10 the
port Of Caliao, but this was fortunately
frustrated.
