THE DAILY PRESS.
PORTLAND, MAINE.
Saturday Horning, Nov. 29, 1862.
-----
The Portland Daily PreBB has the largest
regular circulation of any daily paper in
the city.
Terms of the Daily and Weekly Press.
The unprecedented rise in the price of print
ing paper makes it a necessity with publishers
either to advance their rates or greatly to re
dnee the size of their papers. In Boston all
the daily papers have adopted one or the other
of these alternatives, several ot them advanc
ing 82 per year, while others, of the 88 jour
nals, arc to reduce the size of their sheets.
The morning papers of this city, except the
Press, have notified an increase of price, and,
as we learn, propose to reduce tiieir size if that
advance should not prove sufficient. We do
not wish to abridge the size of our paper; we
do not wish to abridge its interest, but we do
purpose to increase its usefulness by infusing
into it increased energy, and by adding such
new features of interest as the wants of the
public may seem to demand.
When the Press was commenced in June,
the white unprinted paper sufficient to supply
a daily subscriber one year, cost not far from
82.29; at the prices now demanded for paper,
with assurances of those best posted that the
tendency is still upwards, instead of 82.29 it
costs 84.81! or an increase of 82.52 to each
yearly subscriber. Wlien to the price of paper
we add that of ink, press-work, mailing, Ac.,
and the wear of materials, the cost of supply
ing a subscriber, to say nothing of editorial la
bor, composition, rents. Ae., is far above the
price which we have heretofore charged. Un
der this state of things we have been reluc
tantly forced to the necessity of advancing our
price, and in doing so we base our estimates
upon a paper of the present stze, with no
abatement of interest in its contents.
On and alter Monday next, December 1st,
the terms of the Daily Press.will be six dol
lars a year in advance, to which sum twenty
five cents will be added for each three months’
delay, maxing $7 at the end of the year, when,
if payment is not made, the subscriber will be
stricken from the list. Fractions of a year, of
three months or over, pro rata.
The terms of the Maine State Press (week
ly) will be $2 in advance; if paid within six
months, 82.25; if not paid within the year,
$2.50. It will be furnished to clubs of four
new subscribers, in advance, for 87.00 (81.75
each), or ten for 815. In all cases where sul>
scribers to either Daily or Weekly have paid
In advance, the contract will be faithfully car
ried out.
We announce these new and increased rates
with the greatest confidence that the state
inents we have made will be deemed sufficient
fully to justify them iiTthe minds of all intelli
gent readers.
Correspondence of the Press.
Letter from the Gulf Region.
Camp Parapet, near New Or- I
leans, Nov. 13, 1802. )
Editors Press;—In the last letter I wrote
you I bade almost a formal adieu to further
attempts at correspondence of a public nature;
for It is simply impossible for one who does his
duty in the camp, to elaborate and adorn ma
terial from which he builds his newspaper fab
ric. His brain may teem witli thoughts thick
er than other times ever knew, and his heart
throb with emotions of impel ulness, or chill
with strange forebodings from and upon which
volumes might be spoken or written;
and yet, a soldier can hardly be a con
sistent and even letter writer. If upon
some genial sunshine day. he lives a season of
philosophic turn, and his impressions and in
stincts assume the shape of opinions, and no
seeming premature drill-calls break the spell,
or, better still, he does not have to mount a
piebald and worn-out sol-mule, and visit guard
posts, he may put such impressions and opin
ions in form for others, and they be deemed
even valuable; but such Reasons seldom come.
Nothing would please me better than to be
able to give you the current history this de
partment is making, but I can only touch
lightly those things most prominent in the line
of observation.
As a matter of “war news,” the expedition of
Brigadier General Weitzel Into the Opolousas
territory, west of the river, is the principal
item. It is a success If, opening that rich
country to the trade of the world aud the dis
* enthrallment of oppressed thousands is a suc
cess. A commission has already been created
that is to take inventories of all such property
as is liable to confiscation, while the same sys
tem of government adopted in the neighbor
hood already occupied, is to be carried thith
er. The brigade is supposed to be strong
enough for all its preseut needs, though I dare
not undertake to give details of Its expected
movements, nor am I prepared to furnish ac
counts of the skirmishes with the euemy; but
will send you the city journal swhich will do
this much better than I can do at this present
time. For some time, too, the occupation of
vunvstvti uiiu suiiuuuuiij^o line wvu III tuv
plan of the General commanding; but whether
troops are to be spared from here at present
or not, Is not yet settled. Ten thousand more
troops would enable this division to achieve
more Important results than the history of any
other department can probably show. We
have constantly heard that new troops were
coming, but see no evidence of it in anything
around us. We are confident of our ability
to hold all we occupy, and w hatever misgiv
iugs we have, are all concerning commands on
the northern aud western frontiers. Our own
camp is eight miles above the city, well situa
ted, and baring the mud, which sticks to us
much closer than our postage currency, is de
sirable enough. We can hold the line of for
tifications, and the river can take care of it
self. The prevailing fevers are on the decline,
and considering all things, we may be deemed
fortunate in our sanitary condition. Our brig
ade consists of our own regiment, the 4th Wis
consin, 21st Indiana and two batteries, com
manded by Col. Paine of the Wisconsin, att
Jng Brigadier General. He is a splendid sol
dier aud gentleman, and deserves to hold per
manently the place he so admirably fills. It
will be remembered that ours is the First Brig
ade, and our regiment the right of the line—
“Bully for the Twelfth!"
[Do you know we are getting out of patience
over the “flurry” attendant ou the new Maine
regiments—where three hundred dollars were
in'some instances paid for “able-bodied white
male citizens?”—and we even hear that some
of the officers have already got furloughs “to
spend a few days with their families!” I
wouldn't say a thing unkind, or at all provo
cative of comparisons, but we all think there
have beeu too many “sword presentations,”
too much bounty and too much delay. It will
be remembered, that our soldiers got no boun
ty. nor have the officers been paid one pica
yune for recruiting; and of the abundance
lavished upon our new friends, it does seem
as though our soldiers who have braved the
dangers of a year's service and the malaria of
southern swamps, might be remembered in
the distribution.]
■ ■■■■■■■■MMHHaiHVMaMMaMMMi
Apropro* of home matters, I see state
ments put forth by Maine journals that the
course of the administration is not sustained by
: the army. Now, while even the one in your
; city, though it has eyes to all quarters of the
political heavens, puts forth such things, I, as
an army correspondent, take this opportunity
to remind the journal aforesaid that such is
not the case. That proclamation, though it
has furnished a text to the great discourse on
the negro, is nothing new in practice. Like
everything of its kind, it is to be limited to the
direct authority of the government, as a mili
tary measure. I doubt the entire correctness
of the theory upon which it is supposed by
some to have been based. 1 do not imagine
that it can affect military operations beyond
the natural province of military tide. It does
not add one new feature to the condition of
the question, as left by the Confiscation Act,
wherever that act has been enforced. I rest
this statement upon the known expressions of
| the directing spirits of this war.
There are no more contrabands following In
the rear of the army than there would have
been without the proclamation. Thatis;reb
1 els in arms or not, are just as secure in their
property to-day in New Orleans as they were
two months ago; for wherever the army es
tabl'shed itseli jiractically, slavery was dead—
dead as a question of physical force, dead as a
question of military necessity. Nor can it be
| doubted that the question of all future bear
ings ol slavery upon the war and upon the
government will depend still on physical forces
or rather, perhaps, upon where physical forces
leave it.
The “ conservative'’ Journals of Portland
have urged in time of peace, that slavery was
“ a question of soil and climate”—it existed be
cause it was profitable to those immediately
concerned, and highly constitutional and prop
er generally—in a word, it was a matter of
trade aud understanding between all the par
ties to it; and now, that this revolution hus
come, and the institution, from necessity, must
sutler, how much more in the nature of special
pleaders, come forth its supporters. It must
1:1-,. «.n «i.:n„., ti..,..
amis of young lives may be given lip and thous
ands of hearts bleed for long years to come—
all the sacred ties of affection that belonged to
a Happy people may be ruthlessly broken by
1 the accursed authors and abettors of this war
for the commercial and political agraudize
ment of slavedom; but the “ radicals'’ must
uot be beard, the President must uot take “ex
| treme measures.”
Cotne down here, and, from the records of
; the courts scan how men, who dared to look
I with gladness or even complacency upon the
old flag as it catne up the river, were hurried
j away from wife and children, and many times
| consigned to nameless graves without even a
j hearing; or look over the condition of hun
I dreds and thousands w hose only crime was
that they could not forget their loyal homes,
and you will see why the army believes, at
least, in the fair trial of the Proclamation, or
anything else that promises to crush treason.
If any Editor in Portland thinks that the ar
\ my is about to rebel, or its officers resign, on
account of” radical” measures, perhaps be had
better come and electioneer Gen. Butler, or
write a confidential, or advisory letter to Gov.
Sbepiey; perhaps lie had better publish a card
to the hundreds of thousands who only ask to
I be allowed to tight—“ or any other man.” But
I cannot talk further of these tilings than to
say that, although at present Jeff. Davis can
not avail himself of any such aid and comfort
| as I have referred to, I do uot doubt that lie
! would gladly offer them at least, a “ Mountain
Department.” Still, l do not profess to love
such characters so w ell as those whom they
, serve, although,they are, no doubt, somwhat
moru loyal. 11 eel towards them as the sable
matron did towards one of her children who
was & little lighter colored than the rest: “ I
never could bar dut ar brat; he show dirt so

Letter from Bangor.
Baxgok, Nov. 28,1862.
Teachers' Association—Lumber 3Iill.
Dear Press:—The Teachers’State Associa
tion, which closed its fourth annual session
here on the 26th, was highly productive of
good, as the hundreds of teachers present will
cheerfully testily. You have been informed
of the preliminary and second day’s proceed
ings. On Tuesday evening, Hon. Noah Woods,
of Gardiner, gave an admirable essay on the
agency and committee systems of conducting
schools. He is wholly opposed to the common
mode of putting the selection of teachers and
management of Bcliools, into the hands of per
haps prejudiced and ignorant men, subject to
the bitter, petty feuds of their district, and
the fickleness of office. To him, the suprin
tending committee system is the best adapted j
to the wants ol our Maine schools, and better
qualifies our teachers for their positions, since
they must become experts In order to pass the
proper examination. His arguments were
well conceived and enforced. Prof. Smyth,
of Bowdoin College, expressed similar ideas
of the two systems. Portland, Bath, Augus
ta, Bangor, Hallowell, Brunswick, Biddelbrd,
| and a comparatively few other towrns in our
State, have the committee system, wholly or
; partially in operation. The result is manifest
in the Increase and progress of their schools.
On the same evening Prof. Lylord, of Water
: ville, who for many years was Principal of the |
j Boys' High School in your city, gave an ad- |
dress on the ’’Methods in Education,” which |
! enforced on teachers the importance of per- 1
i sonal morality, application and example, as
j calculated to make the pupil all that is desira
ble. Reason and nature cunnot be disregard
ed in moulding the human mind.
On that evening also, resolutions were
i passed, making the Maine Teacher the orgau
of the Association, and altering the constitu
tion so as to consider all persons who are of
educational pursuits members thereof. (Que
ry raised by a member ofthe Association—
H.'an an individual forced against a lamp post
at night, looking after 'star?,’ be said to be of
educational pursuits?’) Prof. Briggs “as he
is sometimes called,” (tide introduction by
President) delivered Poe’s Raven in a very
decided manner and sublime style.
On Wednesday morning we were favored
with a discussion of the modes of teaching
pupils to read, and some illustrations thereof.
About three hundred have been in attend
ance upon the Convention, which, at noon of
the 22d, adjourmed to meet next February or
March, at Augusta, at call of its President,
Mr. Weston, as we understand to press school
matters home to the Legislature. Let the ball
move on!
Yesterday afternoon we had the pleasure of
visiting one of the largest and best saw mills
in the country, situated about two miles below
this city, on the river road. It is owned by
Messrs. Ilinklcy <fc Egery, of this place, who
have spared nothing necessary to a perfect es
tablishment. In company with a friend from
New York, who probably buys as much lum
ber in Maine as “any other man,” we were
shown about the mill, which really claims the
attention ofthe visitor. It is, as it were, a
monument to mechanical ingenuity. As we en
ter the lower story of the mill, we can but no
tice the perfect and powerful machinery, and
its motive force. By a patent device of their
own, the proprietors have gained along wished !
for object. So admirable is the government of
the steam engine, that no perceptible accelera- j
tion or diminution of speed is manifest, wheth- j
er the saws are at work on the hardest materi
al, or at rest.
The mode of making sugar boxes here,—
whence thousands are exported annually,
claims attention.
Circular saws and jointing machines do
the work. A number of boards are in a mo
ment cut into exact pattern for the box, and
then nailed together, in such a manner as to
occupy but a small space, with astonishing ra
pidity. Here is the monstrous furnace in full
blast, devouring with greed the waste strips
and sawdust. The lathe saws are also in o|>
eration, and the gangs. Up stairs we notice
a single upright saw at work on deck plank, j
The Instrument known to olden lumbermen as j
“timber dog,” is supplanted here by a set of
sharpened teeth, operated on by a screw. The
gang saws manufacture from a half dozen to
twenty boards from a log, according to its size.
An immense circular saw is running at fullest
speed, through a long timber, and we ate in
formed that it is the method employed in sid
ing all extra length logs. The contrivance for
trimming manufactured boards is novel and
ingenious. This is ordinarily done by push
ing the boards along on rollers, their edges
coming in contact with a circular saw. This
is regarded the most laborious part of lumber
men's work. The method here used saves
much labor, the men being moved along apace
with the boards, on a moveable platform, reg
ulated by machinery. We must not forget, in
conclusion, to mention the apparatus for draw
ing the heavy timber from the water, or the
long shoots for conveying the finished lumber
to various parts of the wharves lor shipment, !
Even the troughs, in which the sawdust is col
lected and borne on the principle of the grain
elevator, to the furnaces, thus obviating the
labor of shoveling and wheeling, bear evi
dence of much skillful planning and study.—
The establishment turns out seventy-five thou
sand feet of boards per day, and we lelt it
fully satisfied that in every respect, to the mi
nutest detail, it is admirably adapted to serve
the purposes of construction.

A Big Scare.
The Inspectors of the State Prison, thought
it proper a little while ugo.to increase the ven
tilation of this very necessary Institution. The
air was found each morning to he quite bad,
especially about the upper tier of ceils, and
the surprise was, that it iiad not been attended
to long before. It was concluded to put three
or four ventilators in the roof of the prison,
and thus relieve it of the bad air engendered
through tlie night. To do this, a huge stage
had to be built the whole length of the walk,
and it took several days in getting it up.
There are six or eight men in the prison un
der sentence of dentil, at the will of the Gov.,
and when the huge staging began to go up they
began to turn pale. Not a word could be said be
tween workmen and prisoners,—it was against
the rules,—and these desperate men, who had
been immured here for more or less years, for
murder, saw, with varied emotions, as they
came to their cells Ip be locked up while tak
ing their meals, the gaunt frame going up. It
was, in their frightened imaginations, a gal
lows. The Governor had issued his warrant
for an execution, and who was the malefactor
that was to lie led out to die ? There were
Thorn, Preble, Knight, Damery. and others of
the desperute gang, but who was the victim?
What years of horror were lived in those two
days! Poor Thorn, who had gone on his mo
notonous round to and from his cell to his shoe
bench, thought, as he was the oldest proprietor,
that he must have the preference in this sad
work, and his countenance paled before the
horrid prospect. But, there were others, whose
crimes had horrified the community more re
cently; while Thorn, who launched his axe in
to the brain of the old man Wilson, in the
dead of night, had in a great measure become
dead to the community. Another generation
had come on the theatre of action, since ids
crime reeking with horror, had appalled the
community. Perhaps it was one of the youn
ger of the outlaws who was to expiate his
slumbering crime within the gloomy walls of
this Bastile. The ghosts of murdered wives
might at last have not called in vain from their
graves, for vengeance, and one of theee might
be trembling on the terrible verge, and this un
gainly gibbet the means devised to launch them
into the sea unknown. And so for two days
fear most horrible and hope most feeble, rose
and fell in their desolate breasts. At last, the !
work was so far forwarded that its design was
apparent; and if reprieves had been read by
the sheritf from the fearful scatfold, after tiie
noose had encircled their guilty throats, there
could not have been a more joyful emotion
shot through their quivering frames. They
breathed freer and easier—and as eaeli nmn
lived again, In aspirations for liberty und lin

desert the most desperate, their rugged uud i
hardened faces relaxed their intensity, and joy j
and hope made their countenances worthy the
study of a painter.
Reply of Russia to the French Prop
osition of Interference in American
Affairs.—The following is a synopsis of the
reply of Gortschakotr to the note of Druuyn
de L’Huys:
“Alter recalling the constant efforts of Rus- j
sia in laror of conciliation, he says it is requi- ,
site above all, to avoid the appearance of any ]
pressure whatever, capable ot chilling public I
opinion in America, or of exciting the snscep- !
tibility of the nation. We believe that a com
bined measure of the powers, however concilia
tory, if presented in an official or officious
character, would risk arriving at tlte result ;
opposed to pacification. If. however. France !
should persist in her intention and England
should acquiesce, instructions shall be des- \
patched to Baron Stoekal, at Washington, to '
lend to both lus colleagues, if not official aid,
at least moral support.-’
The following from the Journal de St. Pe- I
tersburg undoubtedly gives the position of ]
Russia on the French note:
“We believe that the foreign powers have !
no right whatever to interfere in America, j
We also believe that no other intervention j
would be possible than one similar to the ad- j
vice which Bussia has constantly tendered in !
a friendly spirit since the commencement of
the struggle.”
$ar~ One of the funniest things of the sea- ]
son—we are sure it will be so regarded where
the facts are known—is the interpretation put
upon the Advertiser’s course by some of the
Democratic papers. For instance: the Far
mington Patriot, alter publishing its prospec
tus, and complimenting it us “one of the most
ably conducted papers in the country,” says:
The position of the Advertiser is one of the
strong evidences we have of tiie great reac
tion taking place in the public mind—a reac
tion which is to bury abolitionism so deep that
tiie hand of resurrection will never reach it.
Conservative Union men everywhere should
give the Advertiser a liberal support.
Tiie “reaction” is shown most plainly in the
erasures upon tiie direction books and carriers’
lists of that paper. How does the Argus feel
to have its nose thus broken, and the break ap
proved by its Democratic brethren?
