The Paper Duty.

The Gazette of yesterday had the follow
ing very sensible article upon the paper
duty. 1t said:
ssPANIC IN THE PAPER MARKET.
"Our dispatches this morning announce
a panic In the New York market for print
ing paper, as, the result of the agitation of
the repeal of the duty OH foreign paper
PAPER which until now was apparently
scarce, is rushed upon the market in large
quantities, breaking prices down 6@Sc per
lb. at single pop. While manufacturers
had the twenty per cent. gold duty at their
back, they felt perfectly safe in boarding
supplies, but now it is not so safe, and hence
the rush to sell. This movement will salts
fly Congressman that the charge of mono
poly brought by publishers was not an idle
one. Here is convincing evidence of the
fact. II paper was so scarce last week that
it could not be bought in New York below
26@2Sc. per lb., it could not be rushed upon
the market yesterday at l9@20c.
sIt is clear now that the monopolists un-
dertook a great deal too much. If they had
been satisfied with moderate profits, the
question of repeal might not have been ag-
itated; but aiming at extravagant gains,
such as threatened to ruin the publishing
business, they overshot the mark altogeth-
er. Publishers must now see that the bur-
then which is likely to be taken of, can not
be reimposed. To this end Congress will
see the propriety Of at once repeating the
duty. That will be sure guaranty against
exorbitant charges. Then, in addition,
other measures in progress for the perma-
nent relief of the great publishing inter-
ests, must be pushed rapidly forward. This
decline in paper should not check for a
Al Re fhaf ho
dertaken. We want not only cheap paper,
but good paper; and both can be secured II
publishers persevere in the work already
In hand"
1t will be remarkable, indeed, after these
developments, If single member of Con-
gress, not in some way Interested In q pa
Der mill, votes to continue the prohibitory
duty, whose only object Is to deprive the
Government of revenue, and bleed both II
and the people, for the sake Of few paper
manufacturers. M s'

Wool I'IYINe.

The wool trade in the east is, as is expected
at the opening Of the year, very quiet, most
of the buyers and sellers being busy arrang-
ing business OF the year, and closing up the
past. In New York what little was sold
during the last week ranged from so to
81 10, according to quality. Higher prices
are looked for by holders, and the light sup
ply in the hands of manufacturers would
seem to sustain their views. In Boston, up to
the close of the year. the demand continued
good, with an upward tendency in prices,
and the sales during that week reached
near a million of pounds, at prices ranging
from 81 to 81 10. The better quaitie of
Ohio and Pennsylvania sold at 81 0S to
81 10.-Oho Farmer. Jdn,7 z.

Amende ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Bonds all Right.

FROM the ChlcdBO lElOuue3
A few days since paragraph appeared in
our columns, stating that there was
question raised by some concerning the le'
gality of the issue of Wisconsin Banks, and
that they was consequently to some extent
unmarketable. From the very best author
ity, we have since learned that the issue Of
these bonds, were strictly and truly legal in
every sense of the word. They we're issued,
not for the purpose of securing the State
bank paper, but to raise money to coup
troops in 1861, and the banks purchased them
at par, paying 40 cents down, the balance to
be paid in half-yearly installments. The en-
tire State debt of Wisconsin is only 81, S00,-
600, and the interest has been promptly paid
semi-annually Besides this, the act creating
the loan made express provision by taxation
for the payment of interest and principal
when due, and also provided that, should the
taxes raised be insufficient to meet these,
every dollar in the Treasury shall be devoted
to their redemption, to the last cent.
The report that the issue of these bonds
was illegal originated with the Copperheads
of Wisconsin, who in order to prevent he
raising of money so as to equip troop 70
suppress the rebellion, made speeches = d
wrote letters on the subject; and it was P T.
ly in consequence of this that the Treasu eF
failed to sell them in the New York mar e.
This report, we understand, has been often
contradicted, but the mere raising of such
question has left an impression in the minds
of well-meaning people, that there really was
something in the charge of Illegally, while
in reality there was nothing but COpperhead
malignity and hate.

Just released from rebel confinement, states
that there is ground for believing that our

surgeons with gangrene, and their arms and
legs taken off. Describing the appearance
of the released prisoners as they come in, he
says.
Imagine procession of thousand human
beings, walking in slow funeral lines through
the streets of New York their bodies wasted
to skin and bone by starvation and disease
half covered with filthy rags which swarm
with vermin; half of them without hats OF
shoes, their faces, hands, and whole persons
so blackened by smoke and begrimmed by dirt
that they could scarcely be distinguished from
black men tottering in almost infantile weak
ness, or supporting one another as they move
mechanically along, scarcely seeming to real
ize or to care where they are going, and you
have a faint idea Of the released Union prs
oners received here to-day. And these are
the best cases, sent forward first, probably 10

mitted to Congress on the 1st, having been

report of military operations. The activity
of the campaign, however, has occupied the
whole attention of the Lieut. General, and he
has not yet made his report. Mr.. STATIONS
report is not yet published, and the only de-
tails given from it are as follows: Over

tumn of 1868 and the following winter. Or

the service we're preserved and recruited, and
capable and experienced officers were retained
in command. The business of arresting de-
serters and stragglers is progressing actively,
80, 1872 having been arrested between October
l, 1868, and October l, 1864. The total num-
Der arrested from the establishment of. the
bureau to October l, 1864, is 67,76O. The
Veteran Reserve Corps on October l, 1864,
numbered 764 officers and 2S, 73S men.
The general exchange of prisoners effected
under the instructions of this department,
under Lieutenant General GRANT, is in course
of execution, and it is hoped that all of our
prisoners in the hands Of rebels will soon be
returned. The furlough of thirty days is ex-
tended to them as they reach Annapolis.
