I. . j REPUBLICAN
ji uu>U for rCexvspapers.
What is it that t'..c ; -lblic have against the
newspaper Press, that it evinces at times so
mnch repugnance to its prosperity, and some
times even to its existence? We can compre
hend why bad men should like to cripple and
blot out these vigilant monitors over their con
duct, but we are utterly at a loss to understand
why, by some common accord, the public at
large, with some considerate exceptions, desire
to impose greater burthens and responsibility
upon publishers of newspapers than upon any
body else, and to restrict their privileges far
short of those extended to other business men
in the community. It cannot be a jealousy of
their gains, for though the hardest workers of
the entire industrial class, how many can we
point to who. have grown rich ? How many
bav£ even succeeded in making themselves and
iMuilies comfortable in the world, much less
inlying up a surplus of earnings for a “ rainy
dasU J Very, very few. And yet most people
are eer looking out to be cheated by the prin
ter and he never yet asked an increase of his
ifjorue that everybody did not consider the
'claim a most unreasonable one.
Let us illustrate these positions by showing
the present condition of the newspaper Press
of the Confederate States. Hundreds of them
have had to go by the board and close up their
doors lor want of the means to pay the actnal
expenses of publication ; whilst those that re
main on the arena to battle with the storm have
the slightest possible public sympathy for their
toils, anxieties and troubles. They are denied
the privileges allowed to other classes of bnsi
nes* men in order to keep their heads above
the. water, and they have had to struggle on,
unaided and alone, as best they conld. The
merchant can charge a dollar per yard for his
calico; the grocer thirty dollars for his flour,
sixty cents for his sugar, and two dollars for
his coffee ; the planter forty cents for his bacon,
two dollars for his corn, and twenty cents for
his cotton ; the cobbler twelve dollars for* his
shoes and twenty-five dollars for his boots, and
soon ad infinitum; bat the newspaper mart,
who is a victim to all these high prices, and has
beside? to pay from one hundred to a thousand
per centum advance on all the materials of his
vocation, must be held down to old prices for
the product of his labor, and this, too, when
the great resource of his living is cut off and
the public is expecting more from him than it
ever did before. If he talks about increasing
the price of subscription or adding a few cents
per square to his bill3 for advertising, one
would think, frem the howl that is raised by
some of his customers, that the constitution
was about to be overthrown, or that the Editor
himself was about to go over to the Yankees.
Now, is this fair play? We propound the
question to reasonable and honest men every
where. Can any one tell us a good reason fer
this seemingly unjust discrimination against the
Press ? If he can, we would bo glad to know it.
If he cannot, will not the public review their
opinions on this subject and prepare their minds
for doing justice to a deserving and long suffer
ing elas3 of their fellow-citizens.
One word in conclusion in special reference
to this journal. Knowing the interest felt in the
war and all the public events of this important
period of our existence, with a bold heart, but
not without fear3 for the result, wo entered in
to extensive and costly arrangements for pre -
curing the most reliable news from the army
in all quarters, and at the earliest day possible,
through the combined ageycy erf the mail and
telegraph. These contracts involved a large
extraordinary expenditure, and a material in
crease of our business was necessary to tmable
us to continue the experiment. II w far we
have discharged our duty in this undertaking,
we leave for others to judge ; we are gratified
to know that in our efforts to give them a live
•pajKv, the public has been satisfied.
Their duty, however, had not been fully per
formed. Heavy accessions were made to our
list ot subscribers, but tbc low price at which
the paper was sent —the same as formerly and
in prosperous times —did not compensate us
for the additional labor and expense. In this
event, leaving our annual subscriptions as they
were, we made a small advance on subscriptions
for a less period than a year, for the purpose of
making up the deficiency. This look- and to us rea
sonable and fair; yet, strange to say, we have
been mortified by complaints from rotne ol
whom we expected better things. We have
only fo ray that we cannot recede from these
prices and meet our heavy liabilities. We
could publish a cheap paper il (he public prefer
it, but with neither justice to our readers nor
satisfaction to ourselves. At all events, we
shall persevere in our present course, relying
upon the intelligent and tried friends of the
Republican to save ua from harm, until if shall
become tv,dent that our confidence is mis
placed aud in vain.
To Fci-kobn VittlUng lire City.
We publish the following notice for the in
formation of persons who may have occasion
to visit our city. The rule has been deemed
necessary in order to provide against deset tions
from the army, and though it may occasion
some Inconvenience, a proper regard for the
public welfare should induce all to give a cheer
tul compliance :

From liit van. —Passengers by the Gulf traiu
last evening report that tho Yankee gunboats
ascended Bear river yesterday morning as far as
Kilkenny, tho plantation of tho late ltov. Mr.
Rodgers, hr. and were engaged for several hours in
shelling tho neighboring woods. They subse
quently landed a considerable party, for what
purpose is unknown, though we presume it is
only a foraging expedition, who have set out to
plunder the neighborhood. Kilkenny is in
Bryan county, some ten miles below Genesis
Point. A competent loree has been sent to
Icok after the tldevos and capture them if pos
sible.
"P. W. A.”—Our readers will rjoice to see
that our able and indefatigable army corres

of the glorious deeds of our brave army on the
Potomac. The letter which we publish this
morning will be read with Intense interest, be
ing the only iutellig'ble account of the recent
battles that has been given to the public. We
received by the same mall another letter o( a
later date, but we are compelled, from lack of
force, to postpone It until tu-atotrow. We are
very sure It will not spoil from keeping.

In the engagement at Thoroughfare Cap,
privates Share and McCurdy, of
Company E, were killed ; Sergeant Copeland,
of Company F, and Kilpatrick, of Company E,
wounded. In the engagement Cant. John G.
Patton was placed in charge of two companies,
E and F, and ordered up the mountain as skir
mishers. He soon engaged the Eleventh Penn
sylvania Volunteers, posted in a strong position
on the crest of the mountain, and with his two
small companies held in check the entire regi
ment, supported by the Eleventh Massachusetts
Volunteers, and finally drove them in confusion
from the field. Capt. Patton, with his revolver,
killed Capt. Shanks and a private of the Elev
enth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and mortally
wounded another. The commanding officer of
the Third Brigade awarded great praise to the
First Georgia Regulars, and to them belongs
the honor of killing twenty-two of the enemy,
wounding many more, and finally clearing the
way- for Longstreet’s command to advance..
Had an official report been made out, Captain
Patton would have been highly complimented
for gallantry and for the skill and coolness dis
played in maneuvering the left wing of the regi
ment. He died nobly on the battle-field of
Manassas, Aug.'Both, ISO 2, and, at his own
request, was buried on the field in front of the
residence of Wm. Lewis.

©nr Army In Maryland.
BALTIMORE IN A STATE OF INSURRECTION,
There seems no longer to be doubted that our
army, or a large portion of it, have crossed the
Potomac and are now marching on Baltimore if
not on Pennsylvania :
The Richmond Enquirer of Tuesday says:
The general advance of the army, selected
from our combined forces, took place on Fri
day, and the “crossing of the Rubicon” was ac
complished in excellent order. On the Thursday
evening preceding, Gen. Stuart advanced with
his command within eight miles of Alexandria,
aud made a feint upon the enemy’s lines. Pope
fancying that a general attack was meditated,
placed his army in preparation, and held them
in line of battle during the Bight, sleeping on
their arms. When morning came, Gen. Stuart
Had disappeared.
The intervening time had been occupied by
our troops in pushing on to Edwards’ Ferry,
where they crossed with little difficulty, the Po
tomac being very low, and no enemy appearing
to oppose their progress. The men were exul
tant as they dashed into the stream, and became
inspired with the most sanguine expectations of
the speedy disenthralment of Maryland and the
downfall ol the Federal Capital. 01 their dficra
tious after crossing we can, of course, as yet
give no account. We might present presump
tions, but these the reader can invent for him
self, if he is at all familiar with the lines ol com
munication running out of Washington to the
North and West.
The Dispatch of Wednesday says:
It was stated yesterday afternoon, but how
correctly we leave the reader to judge, that our
army reached Frederick City, Md , on Saturday.
Crossing as they did on Friday, there was noth
ing in the distance from tho river to that point
to prevent their reaching there at the time
stated. The distance from Frederick to the
Relay, by the old National road, is about forty
miles, and by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
about fifty miles. From Frederick to Wash
ington City, through Rockville, in Montgomery
county, the distance is about the same, perhaps
not so great. From the several points where
our armv crossed the Potamne, via Rockville
to Washington, the distance is less than thirty
miles. From Frederick City to Harrisburg, via
Gettysburg and Carlisle, the distance does not
exceed seventy miles. So that, if they moved
on Frederick, and reached that city as stated,
on Saturday, it is highly probable that they are
already over the borders of Pennsylvania, and
within easy distance of her capital.
There was another report, however, that after
crossing, our forces moved in the direction of
the Relay, on the Baltimore end Ohio Railroad,
nine miles we6t of Baltimore. Coming to us as
a rumor we give it for what it is worth, without
pretending to decide upon its probability.—
Connected with this rumor was one to the effect
that there have been an uprising of the people
ot Baltimore in resistance to the Federal au
thority, and that the Yankee Provost Marshal
of the city had been killed. We have all along
believed that the people ol Baltimore would
not quietly submit to Lincolnism one day alter
the passing of the Potomac by our troops, and
a confirmation of this rumor of an uprising
would cause us no surprise. The difficulty is
said to have originated in an attempt of the
Federal officials to remove the Government
stores from that city to the North, to which
the people cn masse objected, and pitched in
alter the style ot the l'J.h of April, 1801, with
brickbats and other accessible weapons. There
was also % statement to the effect that an en
tire regiment of Maryland troops had joined
our standard, renouncing their allegiance to
the abolition government.
The Enquirer of Wednesday says :
From Maryland.— The news from our ad
vancing army in North-east on yesterday was,
necessarily, very limited, no other established
fact being ascertained than that Gen. Jackson
bad passed through Frederick City, Maryland.
Reports were plentiful, as usual. It was stated
emphatically by parties coming from Leesburg,
that our army had reached the Relay House,
nine miles from Baltimore, and that, the news
reaching Baltimore, a large number of citizens
rose in a mass and pitched into the government
troops —who were engaged In removing com
missary stores from the city—slaying and bruis
ing them miscellaneously with bricks, bullets
and “billies.”
This is a very good item, if true, and indi
cates the spirit with which the citizens of Bal
timore will enter into the struggle when their
hands are unshackled and their will free.
The Confederate army now in Maryland is
considered sufficiently strong for any emer
gency, while a heavy force guards their rear on
the south-side ot the Potomac, and is free to
act in any direction in case of necessity.
In tbe course of a few week3 our means ol
obtaining information will be greatly facilitated
by the re-establishment ot the telegraph and
the re-opening of mail communication to the
commanding points of intelligence within our
lines.
Purport of Saunders’ Despatches.— Geo.
Saunders, having arrived safely in Canada with
despatches from our government to European
Powers, a Canada paper gives the following
account of the contents of the latter:
Y/c are authorized to state that Mr. Baunders
is the bearer of the draft of a commercial treaty,
which the Confederate envoys will propose to
ibe chief European powers, irrespective of re
cognition or intervention. Recognition with
out intervention is considered by President
Davis as uractically valueless to the Confedera
