Tncsduy Morning. PccorobiT 23.
••Times Ain’t now as tukv i-skd to
WAs."—And this is tho very reason
\Vhy wo have boon compei.lbp, in self
VioTence, to raiso the subscription price
<Sf the Courier. By a glanco at tho fol.
lowing facts it will bo soon that even
^he present prices of our paper do not
•at all compare with the high rates of
other things.
About an average price for wheat, in
times of poaoe, was one dollar a bushel,
then it took two bushels of wheat to
pay for the "Weekly Courier" ono
year; and now, though throe dollars is
tho prico of tho some paper, yet a half
bushel or one-fourth tho quantity will
pay for it a year. In those good old
times, baoon was worth, say twelve and
a. Mf cts. a pound, and, consequently
si it tech pounds would pay a year’s
Subscription j while now, with bacon at
50ets. and tho newspaper throe dollars
a year, it will take six pounds, or a
little over one-third tho quantity, to pay
for the paper a year. Tho average price
of corn at this soason of tho year, was
lers than 50cts, but put it at that prico,.
aud it took four bushels to pay for tho
paper a yoar; while under tho present
increased rates of both, it will or.ly
take one and a half bushels, or little
over a third of the quantity to pay the
same. And about the sRmo proportion
exists in regard to fire wood, pork, beef,
oats, sweet potatoes, irish potatoes,
butter eggs, chickens, and all other
articles, oxcopt cotton, that a farmer
has to sell, or a mochanio to buy.'
And even in regard to cotton, tho same
or a less number of pounds than for
fnerly required will pay tor the paper.
For five years before tho war, the aver'
ago was not abovo eight and a third cts.
and lliorofore, it took twenty-four
.pounds to pay for the paper a yoar;
now it iB worth twelvo and a half cts.,
at tho lowest, and consequently it tnkos
twenty pounds to oomo to three dollars,
ao that in regard to this one article only
has the prico of tho Courier, been pro
portionalely advanced.
While all this is so, tho prices of
paper, printer's ink and all other things
consumed in n nowspaper office, have
advanced at least fifty per cent.
It will thus bo soon that wo are not
only, not attempting to extort from the
public, by advancing tho price of this
paper, but are actually generous in
koeping up tho paper, at a price com
paratively lower than other things.
The paper Juts not paid expensos since
tho war.commenced, and it is not ex
pected that it will do so, even at tljo
prosont.advanced rates, the ensuing
year, yet the Proprietor, trusting to
generous and appreciating publio, is
determined to continue its publication,
so'that, if he is so fortunato as to es
capo the casualties of war, he why have
an established business to return to at
its olose. And besides, newspaper
publishing is not like some other kindB
of business, that can bo stopped and
then resumed again at pleasure, with
out great loss. The suspension of the
Courier, an 1, Job Office connected with
it, for one year, would involve a sacri
fico, in annulling contraots, and the
Iobs of tho present "run of custom,” of
at least two thousand dollars. So, all
things considered, it is deemed Jright to
put the price to as near the live-and-let-
live standard as possible, and trnst to
future.dovolopements for the result.
We earnestly solioit the co-operation
of our.present subscribers, in our at
tempts to keep np the “Courier.”—
Whenever peace comes—as como it
must some time— the citizens „of Rome,
and adjoining counties 1 the citizens of
of the 10th Congressional District, and
of the Tallapoosa Judioial Cirouit, and
Cherokee and Calhoun Counties, Ala.,
will all’ realize, espeoial advantages
from a good newspaper published at
Rome. While tho war lasts, no pains
will be spared to make if tho best news
paper in the upoountry. Will not eve
ry present subscriber both renew his
own subscription and solicit his friends
and neighbors to subscribe. Espe
cial attention is called to our club rates,
from the Prospectus, to be found in an
other column, it will be seen that to
dubs of five or more, the Tri-Weekly
Courier will be furnished a year at
four dollars each, and the Weekly
Courier to clubs of ten or more, at two
dollars each, per annum.
Roam Mississippi.—The Memphis
Appeal says -.
lf«our telegraphic information from
Orenoda relative to the retrograde
movement of Gen. Grant be true, North
Mississippi is once more freed from the
hated presence of the Yankees, with
the exception, perhaps, of the post at
Corinth. This being so, it behooves our
militnry .authSrities to have an eye to
the abundance of supplies that may yet
be secured in that end of tho State.
The railroads north of Grenada will
doubtless very boom be putin running
order, which will facilitate tlie trans
portation of the many thousands of bar
rels of oern which may yet be secured
in theoountios of DeSoto, Panola, Mar-
shall and Yallabusha.
Our Hospitals*
We think that our hospitals are n

rooms aro kept clean and warm, and
wo doubt hot but that tho littlo bunks
look inviting to tho weary, war-worn
Soldier, that has slept so often on she
coldground,with naught perhaps toshol-
ter him frem the storm but a blanket.

Captain Jones says that tho only ship
that Semmes fears is tho Vanderbilt,
He made many inquiries regarding her
speed and armament, but obtained no
information. He laughs at all tho other
ships we have, and remarked that "he
cared nothing for the San Jacinto, that
he went to sea by hev when in Martini

What he cannot whip ho can run away

She can steam fourteen kiiots witli
seventeen pounds of steam, and is al-
sowed to carry twenty-five pounds of
ltenm. She has two engines of fifty-
swo inch cylinder and seventeen inch
ttroko, and is in nil respects a perfect
model of beauty. Hor armament is, lie
says, a 100-pounder rifle nnd ono 08
pounder pivot gun, besides six medium
32-pounders. He can fight seven guns
a side, having arrangements for trans
ferring two of tho broadside guns from
side to side with great rapidity. Cap
tain Jones further says that tho Ala
bama has a fino crew, and that they nro
well disciplined; that the ship is in
fine order, and that the deck is arranged
for two additional pivot guns, which he
was informed were two 100-pounder
rifles, and in tho Alabama’s hold, ready

Richmond, Jan. 8.—The New York
Herald of tho 5th has an editorial on
the prospocts of intervonjion in Amer

this will bo thq prelude to recognition
by Franco alone. Napoleon will say:
