a copy of printed cicuIar, signed by a
leading citizen of Charleston, 5. c. has recent
y been found among papers captured in Ten
nessee. 1t is dated Nov. l9, 1860, and pur-
ports to emanate from "the 1860 association, -
formed for the purpose of promoting secession.
1t details its meihol of operation. states how
many pamphlets it has issued, and adds:
"The conventions in several of the Southern
States will soon be elected. The North is pre-
paring to sOothe and conciliate the South by
disclaimers and overtures. The success of this
poiicv would be disastrous TO the cause o! the
Southern Union and Independence, and it is
necessary to resist and defeat it. The AssOci
alton is preparing pa mphlets with this special
object. Funds are necessary to enable it to

RArsrso rHE PR1cn-The publishers Of I

RAISING THE PRIcE-The publishers OF
country newspapers are becoming pretty unan-
imous on the matter of advancing the price of
their yearly subscrip' ions to two dollars in ed
vance. The greatly increased cost OF paper,
ink and labor has forced them to this decision
OF course every reasonable person, who is will
ing that the publisher Of bis county paper
should be properly rcmunerated for his invest
ment of capital, his labor aud his risks, will
not desert him in such an emergency. The
papers in this part Of the State have pretty
generally advsnced to $500. I he Ash'Abula
Sentinel, the Telegraph, and Conneaut RepoF-
ter, Mahoning Register, Summit Beacon.
Wooster Republican, Portage Democrat, and
Salem Republican, and others, have put their
terms at $500. The last named paper gives
the following cogeut reasons for the step taken:
1--WE relrained from this step as long as we
possibly could, but instead Of all articles used
in the office or house. necessary to print pa
per or sustain life, falling in price, they are
daily going up higher and higher, until almost
out Of reach. if not out Of sight. Some will
object TO this, and discontinue the paper, We
are well aware, but as we claim for the pat
rons of the Republican common sense, We are
sure most of them must see and admit OF tie
reasonableness Of our course. To those who
part company with US, it may be some satisfac
Iion to them to know that for the past six
months it has cost ua trlae more than they
have paid US to furnish them the paper. Con-
seqnently we have not made much of ofthem. "

GEo D. PRENT1cE.-A correspondent oi
the Detroit Tribune, writing from Louis

Having still little spare time we will call
on Geo. D. Prentice, the well known editor
of the journal. Poor man We find him a
mere wreck of what he Ouee-was. The demon
of intemperance has done its work with him
We find it also credited in Louisville that the

In the present emergency, in view Of Mr
LincoIn's past administration, the wisdom he
has shown, the moral purity of the man, and
the great and just confidence which the people
put in him, the danger if he were set aside is
that it would be regarded as a popular rebuke
of his policy and the confidence that feel
that though long ia learning to govern, am

that " Company B, Captain w. Mischler' 4'b

of said company will be allowed to enlist in
any other company Of the National Guard
under anv circumstances whatever, as men
who wish TO be soldiers in peace and eitizens
in war, will not be allowed to disgrace the

appreciation in which the timely aid rendered
by our State in sending $4,000 of her Ma

is held by the National authorities:

effort of devoted patriotism and stern deter

will please accept for yourself and the patri-

dent and Of this Department.

SIR: have your favor of the 10th inst.
All prisoners of war civil and military, are uu-
der the sole charge of Colonel VIM. Hoffman,
Commiseary General of prisoners, Washing
ton City. l cannot interfere with them if l
would, and | cannot give an order to see or
communicate with them, without his permis-
sion. am glad it is so. Some four weeks
ago I saw at Baltimore the arrival OF a vessel
loaded with our prisoners from Belle Isle, who
in the very influence OF barbarism, had been
reduced by starvation to mere skeletons, for
no other purpose than TO incapaciIate them
for further service in the Union armies. Over
one-ihird of these men were too far gone TO be
resuscitated and died within forty-eight hours
aile. their arrival. While would not retail
ate on rebel prisoners by practising like means,
| confess, General, l have very little sympathy
with or desire to parol or release from confine-
ment, men who have been upholding a rebel
lion that has deIuged the land with sorrow
and blood, and whose leaders have resOrted to
cruelty and barbarism in the treatment Of
prisoners more internal than any ever practic-
ed by savages. The higher the rank and So
cial position Of men, the less are they eatitled
TO sympathy. They sinned against light and
knowledge. Therefore, am glad their fate is
not in my keeping, lest under such provOcation
/ should not be over merciful. 1 return the
letter as requested. Very respectfully,
