TrEsDAY:::::::::::::::::::::::;:;;AUGUsT l, 1865.
To the Patrons Of the National Repub-
licnn-ReductIoni In Price.

From and after the first day Of August, 1866,
the price uf the DAILY REPUBLICAN will be
THIRTY cents per month.
When we raised the price Of our paper In July
l>di, We were compelled to that step on account
Of the Increase In the price Of labor and material
OF all kinds. The cost OF paper has fallen con-
siderably during the past month. The price OF
labor has not fallen, and there is no probability
that wag"- will he reduced for some time to
come. But believing that we shall receive large
accessons to our list Of subscribers by being lib
eral IN our prices, we have decided upon the re-
ductioH named above.
1t Is the purpose Of the proprietors to con
tnue to make the REPuELICAS a first class news
paper improving ~ we 20 along, giving more
attention to local aud departmental affairs than
we have been able to do in the past, because Of
The pressure Of war news upon US
The space and time heretofore necessarily
given to the prOnulgRtiOn Of bloody battles, -
on sea aud land, will be much more agrecably
devoted iu the future to the development of the
resources Of the country through the various
bu eaus Of the several Departments Of the Gov.
ernment.
The local news Of the city will receive th,
special attention of the propretUrs Of the REPUB,
LIcAN. Thorough and accurate reports OF all pub
lie and noteworthy events in the District will b,
promptly published.
We have made arrangements to have the Re.
PUBLICAN delivered promptly aud regularly to
subscribers In all parts Of this city and George
town. Subscribers will confer a favor by
promptly notifying us Of any remissness on the
part Of carriers.
We respectfully solicit from our advertising
friends continuation Of their patronage.

Democracy IN THE MARKET.-A party
for sale; a large venerable and highly re.
spectacle party, somewhat damaged by hard
usage and unskillful dOctoring but good for
two or three heats more, if we'll stabbed and
groomed; who bids' This is the true i'm
port of most of the leading articles we now
read in the Democratic newspapers. Where
shall we 60, and what shall we do, and what
shall we be, are the questionsthe Democratic
leaders are asking themselves. The old party
issues are all dead, or worse.
The old leaders have too strong an Odor Of
completely with treason and rebellion hang
ing about them to be tolerable among Demo.
Gratis who have just been fighting for the
Union. Slavery and its aristocracy, the
strength and glory of the Democracy in its
palmy days, are disappearing. Nor is there
any question of public policy important
enough for a party basis which Is not appro-
priated by the dominant party, unless the
Democracy choose to take the manifestly
wrong and unpopular side for the sake Of oP-
position-a venture not promising great re-
turns.-SpringfeM Republican,

wirt., the Andersonviiie Torturer.


Tho process Of whitewashing traitors, which
months ago warned the public against, goes
on. WirtE, the scoundrel who was "Hog"
Winder's chief agent in torturing our men ut
Andersonville, is soon to be tried at Wash
ington, for his crimes against the helpless
Union prisoners under his charge.
We had not intended to say anything upon
his case beforehand, but as we find morn
ing journal--the Daily Matchmaking an
attempt to whitewash him, and induce pub
lie sympathy for him and for "Hog' Winder
rs prosecuted and misrepresented individuals,
we feel ourselves at liberty to say that the
guilt Of WirtE will be proved on trial, by the
testimony not only Of Union soldiers who
suffered in the prison at his hands, but by
that ofSouthern men, men Of respcctability
and character, well known in their State,
several Of whom have voluntarily osme North
10 be present at the trial and bear witness
against the monster.
1t will be proved by the testimony of these
men that Wirtz caused the murder, in more
than half dozen cases, Of unonending pris-
oners; that his conduct was constantly Of the
most brutal and inhumnn character; that he
not only forced the guards to shoot prisoners
without warning. but that in at least one
case, for n slight misdemeanor, he caused
two young men, prisoners, to be hanged with
out trial or preparation. They were seized
about noon, and hanged the same afternoon.
1t will be. proved, too, that Wirtz threat
ened with punishment, and covered with foul
abuse, Southern men who, moved by the pit
eous sufferings Of the prisoners, or at the re-
quest of Northern friends, attempted to allie
viate their miseries even in ever so slight a
degree. 1t will be proved that no Language
was too foul nor any cruelty too inhuman for
this wretch to vent upon the helpless prison
ers in his power, and that the tortures he
made them suffer, and the miserable deaths
they died under his treatment, gave him con
slant satisfaction and pleasure.
In short, Davis and Lee had no more
jealous torturer in their employment, and
Winder no more faithful agent and assistant,
than this Wirtz, the proof Of whose efficien
cy may be seen at this day in the nineteer
thousand graves at Andersonyille.-N y
EUening Post, yesterday.

The London Nows publishes table show
ing that over $65, 900, 900 were sent by immi-
grants in this country to their friends in
Great Britain, between the years ls4s and
1864. This was the real emigrant aid fund.
During tho four years of the war, over
SO, 900, 900 was thus sent to that country. TIE
NeWs adds: "Here we have the explanation,
which our Tory orators have been trying so
hard not to see, of tho emigration to Amer.
lea. While the great war in that republic
was going on, and they were running about
proclaiming that it was a ruined, God'for-
saken country, those who had gone out from
us and were living there were sending hore
f1, ,636, S44, to enable their brothers, fathers,
and sisters husbands to join them and sha.e
their prosperity"

The supply and price of sugar come home
to every class and condition in life with an
interest that cannot be suppressed. 1t is an
indispensable article Of domestic comfort,
and naturally, when scarce and high, excites
anxiety as to its future abundance and con-
sequent chcapness. 1t is gratifying to the
consumer to know that the production Of the
article is rapidly on the increase Formerly,
Louisiana was able to throw into market in
a single season nearly four hundred and fifty
thousands hogsheads Of sugar, but the war
has greatly crippled her saccharine resources,
and last year she only furnished about eleven
thousand hogsheads. 1t is gratifying to
know that the crop this year is estimated at
thirty thousand hogsheads. When the State
is well worked up again undor tho foster in
huence Of peace, and n FREQ and properly
compensated industry, she will once more
yield her abundance, and furnish liberal
supply of this indispensable article. Until
we reach that point, which will require time,
we must bear with high prices and the incon
veniences Of short supply.

An ARTIST WITH AN ELEPHANT ON His

An ARTIST WITH AN ELEPHANT ON HIS
HANDs.-A Richmond letter says:
1t is reported here that Mr. VOlk, the art
ist and sculptor, formerly of Baltimore lately
commissioned by the State of Virginia to cx.
ecute bronze statue of Stonewall Jackson,
has nearly finished the task, but is now in
quite quandary to know what he shall do
with it, in consequence of the sudden collapse
Of the Confederacy, and the change that has
come over the spirit of things in Virginia.
The statue was designed to be placed upon
one of the vacant pedestals of the Washing
ton Monument in the Capitol square, in com
pany with the statues Of Jefferson, Henry,
and Mason, of revolutionary memory. Like
these, the statue of StOnewall Jackson, by
VOlk, is TO be above life size, with the habit
and insignia Of a rebel lieutenant general
Forty thousand dollars in gold were appro-
priated to enable the artist to execute the
work in Europe and ho went abroad with
this intention over a year ago. During his
residence abroad Mr. Volk acquired fine
artistic reputation, and his statue of Stone.
wall is said to be work of great merit. But
what will he do with 1t? That's the ques-
tion. 1t is an elephant on his hands.

The Rpu5iie Of Monday says: -.
As southern men, as Virginians, We have
striven earnestly and honestly TO induce our
friends and neighbors to lay aside all party
or personal preferences in selecting men for
ofice, and unite in choosing men for public
plnce against whom no objections could be
raised by the military authorities. We have
not endeavored to show that men who he'd
served in tho confederate army were not as
loyal TO the General Government as mon who
had never handled q musket; but knowing
that confederate officers and politicians were
obnoxious to the authorities, from whom, as
as subjugated people, we derived the right to
elect, we have urged that thoy be not brought
forward.
We knew II would be impossible for their
friends to resist the temptation Of pressing
their claims because Of their gallantry and
suffering In the army, and we were equally
sure that that fact would make them objec-
tionable TO the powers that be. Tho result
has proved that we wero right; and because
we were right, our very kind friends are
making an effort TO saddle us with their
folly. First, our warnings were mere "bosh, !"
intended to frighten the timid. And now they
are the edicts Of power that the authorities
were compelled TO obey! Really these
friends do us more honor than we are onti-
tied to. Generals Terry and Turner got their
instructions from higher authorities than the
Republic and are sure to carry them out, rs
they understand them, regardless Of what
newspapers and politicians may say.

ing:
There is considerable talk in reference to
