PRICES OF ADvERTIsING.-Some of the
leading Boston papers give notice that on and
after Monday next their rates of advertising
will be, for square of sic lines, 81 for the first
Insertion, and so cents for each subsequent
insertion. Longer advertisements in the same
proportion.
We call the attention of advertisers in the
Press, who think our rates exorbitant, to the
above scale of prices. With us the space OF
tweLce lines makes a square. For one week
we charge $3.50, while for the same amount
in Boston, it would be $3.50 per week. Our
charge for business notices in reading columns,
is 20 cents line; in Boston it is sol And
yet we have to pay as much for clothing, for
provisions, for fuel, for paper and types, as the
Boston publishers. "

OBITUARY.-In our mortuary record will
be noticed the death of George Lewis Nc Al
lister, of this city, of whom something more
than a passing notice is due. He was former
ly employed in the Press Office, and appeared
to be young man of more than average abil-
ity. He enlisted last spring in Capt. Ficketts
company, which went out from here, and
died of fever, at Anderson, S. c., where he
was buried with military honors by his COM
rades. p sla Eals2 fh1Gsi hAt
Young Nc Allister possessed genial dispo-
sition, and gathered around him large circle
of friends, who esteemed him highly, and who
will mourn the loss of their comrade. His
death is severe blow to his parents by whom
he was greatly beloved. They feel their loss
the more, that they could not be with him in
his time of sickness, ministering to his wants,
and comforting him in his last hours,
Peace to the ashes of this noble young man
who, when his country was in danger, nobly
volunteered his services in defence of the
righteous cause.

The Lecture Last Evening.

The City Hall last evening was well filed
the best thus far of the course-with an intel
lgent and fashionable audience, drawn to-
gether by the announcement that the third
lecture of the Independent series was to be
delivered by Mrs. HARPER, colored lady
once slave. Mrs. Harper is of mixed blood,
perhaps with as large an infusion of the dark
current as courses through the veins of Fred
erick Douglass and though of genteel appear
ance and quite good-looking, the African fea-
lures are distinctly visible - II
After song from Shaw's Quartette, she was
introduced to the audience by M. A. Blanchard.
ESQ.,, and received with applause. She spoke
for nearly an hour and half, her subject being
the mission of the war and the demands of
the colored race in the work of reconstruction,
and we have seldom seen an audience more
attentive, better pleased or more enthusiastic.
Mrs. Harper has splendid articulation, uses
chaste, pure language, has a pleasant voice,
and allows no one to tire of hearing her. We
shall attempt no abstract of her address; none
that we could make would do her justice. 1t
was one of which any lecturer might feel
proud, and her reception by Portland audi
ence was all that could be desired. We have
seen no praises of her that were everdrawn.
We have heard Miss Dickinson, and do not
hesitate to award the palm to her darker col
ored sister. Unlike Miss d., she does not
scold, she does not betray weakness, but from
beginning to end maintains the interest that
her first sentences encourage the audience to
expect. ~
Some of her hits were capital She said the
people might call her "nigger" till their tongues
were tired, she would not care SO long as the
laws would not allow them to treat her as
"nigger." She had lived in Ohio, in a neigh
borhood called copperhead, where there were
said to be but two Republicans, and she had
found some Republicans that were meaner
than the people Of that neighborhood. Speak
ing of social equality, she said she should con-
slider it a great hardship to have law. that
would compel her to associate with some white
people she had known. These will do for
specimens of the juicy hits with which she
occasionally enliyened her remarks. I4a
She referred to class of Rip Van Wrinkles
who during four years of war had forgotten
nothing and learned nothing, and who seemed
not to have heard that Judge fancy is dead!
The address was instructive, pathetic; often
tender, but yet eElivened by keen wit, and in
all respects free from dizziness. I...ar,..s.6
The next lecture will be by General Kill
PATRICK, on Tuesday evening next, and not
on Friday evening, as inadvertently stated in
the Press yesterday. G..sg sa0 ssis4 5i1g rs

President Johnson's Rebuff to North Caro-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. Z
The Raleigh, North Carolina Standard, of
Wednesday last, contains the following highly
important intelligence:
Gov. Holden received the following highly
important telegram from President johnson,
which is laid before the public for their intor-
nation.
Washington, Nov. II.
To Hon. W. w. Holden, Provisional Cover
nor of North Carolina Accept my thanks
for the noble and efficient manner in which
you have discharged your duty as Provisional
Governor. You will Sustained by the Gov
eminent. The results of the recent elections
in North Carolina, have greatly damaged the
prospects of the State In the restoration of its
governmental relations. Should the action
and spirit of the Legislature be in the same
direction, it viii greatly increase the mischief
already done, and might prove fatal. 1t is
hoped that the action and spirit manifested by
the Legislature will be so directed as rather to
repair than increase the difficulties under
which the State has already placed itself. tt
