AN ADVANGE.

Nearly every daily paper on our exchange
list is published at higher rates than our
own. For weeks past the Cincinnati papers
have charged SO, while in Chicago and Lou
isVille they have for still longer period
been charging ten and twelve dollars per
year. We have stood two advances on US
in the price of paper, labor aud ink since
we raised from six to seven dollars for our
daily. Last week We we're crowded to the

named. We have no other way of saving
ourselves than by doing as merchants,

One gentleman informed me that Gil

One incident was very humiliating.
Maj. Gen. Franklin was OF board, with
several members of his staff, and as he
was in citizens dress it would have been
difficult for the guerrillas TO recognize
him. But treason was on board the train,
and the General was pointed out and
taken prisoner, together with several
other officers. The General was greatly
excited at the unpleasatpredicameut, and
tried hard to escape. A naval lOficer was
also captured while changing his coat for
one that some loyal friend furnished.
