A PRovosr MARSHAL KILLED BY A
DRAFTED MANA report reached us at
the beginning of the week that an acting
Provost Marshal Of Clinton County has been
shot and killed about the Clinton County
line, but the story was not credited. Now,
however, it is confirmed. We are not fur
nished with particulars, but it appears that
son of jeremiah Gaines was drafted in
Clinton County and failed to report; that an
officer, with an assistant, came to arrest him
on Saturday, the 5th uIt.; that shots we're
exchanged, resulting in the instant killing of
the marshal, the breaking of an arm of the
assistant, and in the wounding of the father
of young Gaines. AS the Gainesess are

GODS ANVIL.


PAINS furnace heat within me quiyers,
Gods breath upon the flame doth blow.
And all my heart in anguish shivsrs,
And trsmbles at the fiery glow;
And yet / whisper-aa God will
And in his hottest fire, hold still.
He comes and lays my heart all heated.
On the hard anvil, minded so
Into his own fair shape 10 beat il
With his great hammer, blow;
And yet | whisper-as God will
And ct his heaviest blows, hold still.
He takes my softened heart and beats il.
The sparks fly off at every blow;
He turns 1t DER and heats il.
And lets it cool, and makes it glaw;
And yet whisper-as God will

This only longer lived would be;

Tive Remarkable Passages from
Recent Stute Papers.

In the closing paragraph OF his recent mes
sage to Congress, Mr.. Lincoln, (sometimes
called Abraham l. makes the following
statement of his purposes: ...
Il repeat the declaration made year
ago, that while remain in my present po-
sition, shall not attempt to retract or mod
ify the emancipation proclamation, nor shall
| return to slavery any person who is free by
the terms of that proclamation, or by any
of the acts of Congress. If the people should,
by whatever mode or means, make it my
executive duty to re-enslave such persons,
another and not must be their instrument
to perform it, 81 ..y.
The above shows that Mr.. Lincoln contin-
ues to have in his own heart the same un-
willingness to submit to the will of the ma,
jority which many think is the great crime
of the South But that is not the point to
which we desire to call attention. Keeping
in mind what Mr.. Lincoln says in the above
paragraph we wish our readers to scan the
following extract from dispatch written by
Mr.. Seward (by order of the President, to
Mr.. Dayton, Z. S. Minister to France, on
the 22d of April, 1861, ten days after the
fall of Fort Sumter: -.
Il need not further elaborate the propo-
sit;on that the revolution is without cause;
it has not even pretext. 2t'a
1T is Just as clear that it ia without an
object. Moral and physical causes have de-
tcrmined inhe1ibly the character of each
one Of the Territories over which the dis
pute has arisen, and both parties after the
election harmoniously agreed on all the fed
eral laws required for their organization.
The Territories will remain in all respects
the same, whether the REVOLUTION shall
succeed or fail. The condition of Slavery
tn tie seraui States w,N remain 5ust The
same whether 1t succeed or fail. There is

case the States would be federally connected
with the new confederacy; in the other,
they would, as now. be members Of the Uni
ted States; but their constitutions and laws,
CUSTOMS habits and institutions in either
case will remain the same
1T is harly necessary to add to this in
contestible statement the further fact that
the new President, as well as the citizens
through whose suffrages he has come into
the administration, has 0hrays repud,atsd

MUNcHAusEN ON, His TRAvELs.-The
Atlantic Monthly of December contains an
article by Edmund Kirke" Gilmore, en-
titled Our Last Day in Dixie" in which,
we firmly believe, there is not one word of
truth, We respectively suggest to the
publishers of the atlantic, that paper con
tanning statements SO grossly improbable,
must necessarily detract from the value of
the whole publication. The Munchausen
stories and seltlaudation of Mr. Edmund
Kirke" Gilmore, in the December number,
will work more injury to the reputation of
the Atlantic than the contribution of Pro-
fessor Goodwin Smith can repair. People
will not believe that white women are raw
ished by negroes in the streets of Richmond
within the hearing of sentinels, who remain
deaf to their cries for help, and that they
are rescued at last by Federal prisoners, un-
der double guard, in the fourth story of the
Spottswood Hotel, even when such tales are
found in the respectable columns of the At
lantte Monthly. Chicago Tribune.

The Newspaper Rusiness-High
Price OF Paper.

Prom the Richmond Ind.) Jeffersonian ]
No kind Of business has suffered more by
the constantly advancing prices Of all arti.
cles used in business, in the support of fam
lies, and Of labor, than that of newspaper
publishing; particularly the publishing Of
weekly papers in small cities and country
towtis, Two years ago, paper of the quail
ty generally used for newspapers cost from
to cents per D., and now costs 25 to 80
cents per tb., and cent or two per tb is be-
lng added almost every month. There has
also been large advance in the price of all
other material used in the printing business.
The consequences is that publishers must
advance their prices Of subscription and ad
vertising, sink money by continuing the bu-
siness, or suspend their publications.
The great competition in the newspaper
publishing business, for years past has kept
the prices of subscription beIo,o lirihg rates.
On the Administration side many papers
have kept up principally by official patron
age, or contributions from Office holders.
Publishers of papers, however, as general
thing from some unaceountable cause, have
been willing to labor for less pay than any
other class of business men. In many cases
those who have conducted papers have Civ
en- their own labor without any pay, all the
income from the business land sometimes
more going to pay the necessary eKpen-
seg. ..t
Democratic papers, have to depend main.
ly on their subscription list, meagre Job
patronage, and business advertising for their
support. Weekly papers published in large
cities, in Offices Where daily papeB are also
published, have an advantage ovG Offices
where only weekly papers are published, as
the former use the same matter for both
dalies and weeklies, and, therefore, the type
setting, which is large portion of the ex-
pense in getting out paper, costs but lit
tie, when weekly is made up from matter
first used in daily Consequently publish
ers in Cincinnati, Chicago and other large
cities can afford their weekly papers at less
prices than country publishers can possibly
Those, therefore, who wish to sustain pa
pers in their counties or Congressional Dis
trlcts, Ill order that they may have organs
to, advocate their political sentiments or To-
cal interests, must make up their minds to
pay advanced prices Of subscription, cores
ponding. with tie prices of other things,
whilo inflated prices prevail.
A weekly paper cannot now be published
with full subscription list at less than two
and half or three dollars a year, without
loss. We notice that quite number of the
papers of this State and in Ohio have put
their rates of su description up to So per year.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has raised the
price Of its weekly to $2 SO per year, SO also
has the Ohio Statesman. -
IF the cost of paper does not soon recede
we shall be compelled to advance our rates.
The above will explain the necessity for the
step.
