MONDAY, SOTESIBER 2i, 1883. 701IIE Tiie nnder£jgco<3 publishers of Chicago «swly papers have mutu«d)y agreed to charge hereafter, ihe prices below specified for the •several editions of their respective journals. In consequence of the growing scarcity of cotton mgs, white paper has materially ad vanced in price, ana is still rising. The mar gin fer profits heretorc enjoyed, is consumed by this advance in u print. 1 * Other items en tering into the coat of publication have also advanced, very considerably. The undersigned discover that an. adherence to old subscription rates will occasion serious doss and eventual rum of \htir business. They might go on awhile by sinking their capital, tut prudence forbids, and a fiirmladed pub lic would not and do hot desire it. The pub lishers of all dally newspaper;, Bast as well as 'West, will be foreed to put up their sabsclp* ilcn rates or suspend their publications. They are generally preparing to take the former course. The advance of rates resolved upon barely covers the increasing cost of publication, and ire pledge ourselves to return to the old standard of rates whenever the‘price of white paper falls enough to make it possible, and trust that may he scoo. For the past eighteen months Chicago P listers have disregarded expense to procure news, in the speediest way passible, lor the purpose of gratifying their patrons. This enterprise will not be relaxed, and they be lieve that xhe reading public appreciate their endeavors to please, and will not regard their Issues as dear at the new rates —all things considered.

The publishers of the Chicago daily pa pers, English and German, have been com pelled to raise the price of their papers. In consequence of the advance in the cost of white paper, this s Vr -p became impera tive. The scarcity of cotton has affected the price of rags from which ‘‘print” paper is manufactured, Cotton that sold before the war for tea cents per pound, hasgone up to fifty cents. Of course rags made of cotton have gone up also, and are still rising. The slock cf rags is decreasing, and foreign exchange is so high that none can be imported; the scarcity i= also beginning to be felt in Europe, and this bus a further tendency to enhance their price in Ibis country. There arc many things than can be mixed will r?gs in the manufacture cf paper, such a? Str aw, sugar-cane and basswood, that wil help to furnish a supply, and keep* the price from going Inordinately high. Hud the price of white paper remained undisturbed, no advance in subscription, rales was contemplated. Proprietors oi papers .had made up their minds to stand the heavy Federal war tax imposed upon, their business. But when the former went up the load became too heavy to cany. The increased expense of food, ‘ fuel and clothing, and the Government taxes on paper, on advertising. Job work, ' ' telegrams, ink, glue, would all have i bee n borne without resorting to raising the . old subscription rates, but when the great; article of the business —white 1 paper—advanced in price, it becomes ncccs- 1 sary to advenes the price of printed sheets, or to discontinue issuing them. The alter native placed befoi e publishers is, to charge more or “go under. 55 When ail kicds of traders and manufacturers are advancing the price of their wares to meet the new condition of things, is ihere any good rea son why the price of newspapers should not also be raised? Honey is far plcatier ihsn it was when the war broke onb It , is more easily procured. Products com mand belief prices, and people can more readily pay the proposed rates hereafter than the old cues heretofore. Whenever the cost of paper declines to something like past prices, publishers will hasten to ’ reduce their subscription terms to the for mer standard. The new scale of characs adopted by the Tkxuuxe, Times and Journal will be found in another column. The Past, titaais Zci twig snd Telegraph (G'riunn) have ad vanced their rales the same per cent, a; Ihe TmnuivE, Time* and Journal. Tin dolly papers of Detroit, Toledo and Clcve land have already increase.; their price? Those of Cincinnati and St. Louis are pre paring to do the same. The Xcw Tors Tlocwiti nflip i iiiiiim-i:!iii;i | u'.islihi, muiiii'jii, iiuu umu • i Eastern dailies are preparing to advance ; * their rules from 20 Jo 33 per cent in order i to enable iliem to srast The whole press ; * will be obliged to follow the example set ] them, cr discomimic publication. I i Tbe advance of Burnside a army towards Richmond, forty miles in three tlavs, gives proiiiha that the remaining six * ty to Richmond will shortly be marehed, A new spirit aT»im<dus the whole Potomac I* sumy. There is no fooling now with the rebels. Burnside means business, and as a writer expresses i r , “Christmas will seethe army in Richmond, or shattered iu over- Wntimh’g defeat.” Risks will now ho taken, and if the rebels give battle the question of possession of Virginia will soon" he settled. Burnside has mastered the details of the army—has “ posted himself up” has submitted his plans to the 1 government, winch has applauded, them and told liliu lo go ahead; .has given the word to his soldiers; forward, march. “ Old bull-dog” Sumner lends the advance, “ Glorious Joe Hooker” follows with the center column, and the 61 Fighting Dutchman” Slgcl commands the reserves. "Who can doubt the result The 150,000 soldiers cn route to Richmond firmly believe they will victoriously enter the rebel capital before many days. So do the people. For the first time the grand amiy of the Potomac, is commanded by a General who really wants to*put the trait ois and crush tbe rebellion by military force. We have, by way-of Havana, some ad ditional Mexican news of interest, including a resume of proceedings on the opening of the Mexican Congress, which took place on the 20th ult. The message of President Jua rez is full of patriotism and hope, and the French will gather from it the Assurance that the campaign undertaken by them, will be no child’s play. The President of tbe Chamber also made a patriotic speech on the occasion. From tl»c Southern Coast.

SHEIT IN THE AEMX BURNSIDE’S PROMPTNESS. The Prospect of Reaching Richmond. THE ARRIVAL BEFORE FREDERICKSBURG. tCorrcspos deuce of the N. T, Times.} FAmiorai, opposite Fuedsuicksecjig, Va.,) Tuesday, Kov. IS. 1852. J Tlie long-range cannon that have for the past hour been engaged in silencing a rebel battery planted across the Rappahannock, op posite ns, in Fredericksburg,havestided their thunders, We are sale in the town of Fal mouth, and at length it is possible to send you -word of the operations of the past three days. The- right grand division of the army of the Potomac, under command of ilsj. Gen. Sumner, now rears on the Rappahannock. ■When we left Warreaton, on Saturday, it •was the opinion of some well-informed men that the Comederatcs would abandon Rich mond, end show no fight between here and that point; a-cd in support of this opinion it was urged that they had already sent their treasure southward to Danville, N. C-, aad were fast sending their stores in the same di rection, We hud little to countenance this hypothesis as we approach the rebel capital. If a movement is mads against it, we shall doubtless find it met by the same desecr ate and skilled resistance ta-.it has thus for haired our progres thither ward. Taers ap pears to be little doubt that, with the excep tion ol Jackaon’s command —which at the latest advices was at Front Ilt>yal and holding Cheater Gap—and Stuart’s cava^y—which I hangs around cur flank and rear—the mala body of the Confederate army lias been drawn j down and massed immediately around the i rebel capital and on the lines of approach I thereto. I know nothing, of course, ot whet the intentions of Gen. Burnside are, but it is a proof of the fiesh life and spirit ini used into the army, that every man’s thoughts again turn EicomoDu'Ward. A little filth springs up in our languid and skeptical souls. It be gins to seem possible that we may attack and take the rebel stronghold. Do not count tais small progress, for uador the late rcjh/12 of ! “impossibilities,” that faith had died out of ' men’s minds, and no prompting more vigor ! ous throi winter quarters poised them. One i thing is satisfactory, we shall presently knov 1 our late, Christinas will cither see us in ‘ Richmond, or shattered in overwhelming de jVa*.. With bur powerful forces, and skilled - combinations on loot, wc. ought not to tear ; the latter. A hundred thousand men confidently anticipate the;fornicr. The new movement ol tie army, under the I new auspices, onward to Richmond, will ! doubtless be watched by the paniic with iu : tense interest and solicitude. It is true the ‘ tug of war that is to try cur new leader, has : yet to come; hut everything thus lar augurs ; well lor his success. The army has been ra pidly and admirably moved. You iruy par . haps have observed that it took Gen. Burnside ! mecS-tly ore week to get the reins of power • into his" hands and set the wheels of the grand ■ army a-rol’ieg. On Saturday, the S r h of No , vembtr, the great trust fell upon him. On ' SiUurday,the 15th, we were awakened long be- , fore daybreak by the rumbling of artillery | ihroush the streets of Warrenton. ’X was tue army in motion southward. Figure to your- i selves the enormous mass of details to be . mastered by a commander ere he has in his grasp the material elements with which he has to work. Understand that all this has had to be mastered by Burnside since he assumed command—(/ur he teas not in the confvknc* of Gt f. McCl.Vaf) —and you will have some coa ‘ ceplion of the amount of Labor that has had to be crowded into that pregnant week! Of the three days’ march of the right grand division, from Wnrreuton here, there is little i or nothing to tell. Never was a more cveut i Res expedition. Like Xenophon’s Ten Thou sand, we marched each day with so many ' “ parasangs,” but no incident such as diver©!- ! fled their progress broke the monotony of oar 1 wesrv way. It was early Saturday moral ug i that “the train moved from WVrrentoa. Wc went no further that day than the Junction, or rather to the point where the road from ■Warrenton crosses the r-.ilroad. track, two Hides west of Warrenton Junction—in all, thirteen miles. The day was delightful; the aiarea was made with entire care and in per fect irood spirits, and that night we bivouack ed In' cur camp-fires under the clear, cold : starlight. At this halting place i here occurred 1 a Rule ire-dent, which,“as ißhotratlve oi the practical “pushing” temper the now coia , mander. Is worth**relating. Up to the mo ment ot our leaving Warrenton, some of the regiments hod remained unsupplied with clotblrir. Burnside did not, as sonic men we 1 wot ofiwait, tiil this business had been at. 1 tended lo before budging anineb; he sent on : i the men, and th»*n sent the clothing after . i them, oudla’c on that first night of cur march the trains came up, and the winter coats, seeks, drawers, etc?, were handed out to the • men bi-‘ore they lay down. On the next day, ’ at the next stopping place, wc fonnd this rc ' pealed in the case of oue or two other regi - Tucr.t? that had not been suppled. Wc have - thus been able to continue the march uninter ruptedly. It is a small matter, but it is typi -5 cal of a multitude of just such business Eke, 1 : common sense clolr.gs of Burnside, and wc ■’augur, as you will, from them. ‘ Yesterday mcra’ns the inarch was once - more resumed, Wc had bivouacked for the - ■ i.uiht but a dozen miles from Fredericksburg, s ; ;ind as wc took an early start, it was c iicuutal c wc should reach our destination by noon. >.; Meanwhile, what wc did not meet was an en emy, Fortv miles, and not even a rebel vi - - dette in sight! I think old Sumner was thor %. otighly disgusted and disappointed. I ■ We hud approached within a uulc and a half '■* of Falmouth, when suddenly a battery from ;r the Fredeuckehunr side of the river opened j upon us. The old war-horse pricked up hit «us. It i«roved, however, to be a mere nib ble. The enemy, learning of our approach had planted a battery aud designed to eudladu the road. It u’A net take long, however, for cur artillery to feel their way oil’ the road to the left, behind a piece ot woods, which brought them out on*a commanding position, withm hall a mile from the river. Tac very first shell was planted plump among the can noneers at the rebel guns, causing an in stantaneous skedaddle. Recovering their composure, however, they were aole to dodge out ard fire a few rounds. It was in vain. Their shots all fell harmless, not a man on ocr side being scratched, while every shot from our guns udlamongtheui. Accordingly, they soon scampered off—a regiment ol infantry and a squadron of cavalry going with t hem. It wculd appear that this was their whole force in Fredcrickshunr. As our batteries were planted behind Falmouth and theirs behind Fredericksburg, the firing was over both towns, and one can imagine what feelings the screeching shells flying over the heads of the population awoke in their minds. The Con i federates are severely blamed by the people for remaining with their battery to provoke a ’ i iiie on our part, raid the blame is, indeed, well • ii-tilled. I If, ss is probable, it enters into the plans of . 1 Gen. Burnside to mass his force atFredcricks ’ burgh, this place must be again, lor some ; time io come, the center of public interest. - The first gic<it object to which attention will tc directed will, doubtless, be the putting iu cider ol the strip of railroad of thirteen miles from here to Aqxfia Crock, and the construc tion of bridges over the Rappahannock across to Fredericksburg. The track is uninjured along the whole fine; but Gea. Burnside, last August, was compelled to bum the bridges ever I’otomac and Accakeek Creeks. The first thing will be to restore these—and with tressle-work, this will be a mutter of speedy improvisation. The rolling stock was also : , ell destroyed, and new cncrines, cars, i Ac., will have to be brought from Alexandria, But a day or two should tcesi.ll this done, and put us within three Louis of iVa.shioglOD. The two bridges over ■ the Rappahannock were both destroyed some ; months ago, and of laic the only available ■ means ol cresting dry-shod between Fal mouth and Fredericksburg has been by a large scow ferry-boat. This was yesterday scuttled and destroyed, on our approach. If there were any object in crossing immediately, how ever, the present condition of the river pre • sente no very formidable obstacle, as the : water nowhere reaches above the knees of In : fantry, orabove the hub ol the wheels of sup : ply trains. If we do not cross thus to-mor , row, we will soon be doing so by the pon toon, which will doubtless be immediately thrown across the stream. ‘With refer ence to the railroad from Fredericksburg to Richmond, 1 learn that it has, within the past three or four weeks, been put in working order, bridges, Ac., restored. One passenger train per day has been running; but all the capacities of the road have been undcra con grsntslrainto carry army supplies from, the rich Valley of the Rappahannock—one of the great granaries of Virginia, While our ar tillery practice was going, on this afternoon, the train started off for Richmond, and its pace was accelerated by a few of Pettit’s ad mirably directed shots, Teres hours after wards it must have entered Richmond, hiss ing and screaming, to tell the people of the Confederate capital that army of the Unlcn is again within striking distance. ■When last I wrote you from Warrenton, it was to discuss the demoralized condition of the army, and calculate the number of wagons required to carry off the shoulder straps ofia dlgnant officers who would resign all along of the removal of McClellan. We have forgotten all that, and already it seems like a tale a cen tury old. Scores of the officers who sent In their resignations, (cot to Washington, bat to their superior officers in the field,) have beg ged the opportunity of recalling them. As lor the men, when soldiers march, as we have done for the past three days, at the rate of fifteenlo twenty miles per day, their Jags arc too wearied to allow of very not polemics as $3.00 1.00 7.00 15.00 to conflicting claims of generals. In fact, the subject is dead. “ Burnside is our leader now.” Under his guidance, I report an ar ny confident, hieh-spirited and steadily pushing on to victory. “Napoleon once told me, 11 says Jomiu’, that he knew no method ot conducting a war except to march twenty-five miles a day, to fight, and then to encamp in quiet.” General Burnside begins like u believer in that policy. 'Whatever his other qualities, he is at lejst very much in earnest. He has already inspired the army to a large • extent. Officers want to believa that a great command cannot move more than six miles a dav, and accustomed to our old method of waiting a week for the issue of clothing, or a mouth for the execution of an to advance, rub their eyes ia mute astonishment.

The main track of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is tom up for twenty-two miles, and the i ails rendered useless by heating, and the ties all burned. On. an average there are nearly seventy rails per mile fit for relaying. The river has only risen two laches, but a further rise is expected from the rains in the mountains.

The milita ry authorities also were not idle, as daylight tiijs morning revealed a line of earthworks to the right and rear of the town, the result of last night’s labors. The artillery is now being placed in the most favorable positions, while the encamp ments which are in the range of the enemy’s guns are being removed further back from the river. There are very apparent strong reasons for not opening upon the city to-day, unless forced to do so by the enemy. The rebels have just fired a few shots, but no re sponse has been made.

He complained of the short space of time allowedTfor the moving of i the women end sick soldiers. The giving of any more time, as is requested, is no wander consideration. Permission has been given the citizens to run one train from the city, but only for the conveying of women and children.

Thanks to Senator Grimes, who arrived here lost night, all the lowa prisoners were daclared exchanged to-day, including not only those now at Benton Barracks and Annapolis, hut also those who, worn out with the ennui of camp life, absented themselves without leave.

IMPORTANT CAPTURE BY THE POTOMAC FLO- TILLA, The flotilla brought up sixteen prisoners last evening captured while attempting to run the blockade. Among them are several prom inent Marylanders who had In their posses sion over $20,000 in gold and currency, to gether with about the same amount in boots, shoes, atd ether goods purchased for the rebels. From private conversation which was overheard, it is inferred that two of their number are rebel officers, and are pretty well informed with respect to our military affairs during their brief stay within the Union Hues here and at Baltimore.

The State militia attacked them at Lone Elm Prairie, when the rebels took to their heels leavingtwokiilcdandseven wounded on the field. twenty two horses and thirty shot gtms and pistols were captured. It is believed that recent intelligence from the southwest to the effect that re bela have re crosEed Boston Mountains in force is exagger ated. Army officers who accompanied Scho field to Fayetteville say the country is literal ly starved out, and that the rebels cannot exist there in force and there is no danger they will come northto Springfield at present.

The Pajaro del Oceano arrived here on the loth, bringing news from New Orleans up to the 16ih inst. Admiral Farm gut arrived in New Orleans at 2 o’clock in the attemoon ot the 9th. Thv En glish sloop Rinaldo fired a salute of seventeen guns, and thsFrcnch vessel of war Catinat one of thirteen guns. The Hartford, which carried the admiral’s flag, replied to these demonstra tions of naval courtesy. The United States steamerTecressce had'also arrived. In an extra published on the 10th inst, the A'ational Advocate states that a train on the Al giers railroad was destroyed on the attemoon of the 7th, a quarter of a mile distant from the Lafourche Station, by the explosion of the am munition In a car behind the tender of the Ic conjotive. Abont twenty officers and privates were wounded, and the limbs of some six or seven persons, supposed to have been in the ammunition car sbont the time of the explo sion, were scattered in all directions. Ac cording to the Ddt& eleven persons were killed by the accident and seventeen wounded. It was supposed, saya the same paper, that the accident was caused by a spark from the cigar of some imprudent smoker. The two cars were comph:*ly destroyed. A report picvailed in New Orleanc that Gen. Butler was a passenger on this ill-fated train, and that he was mortally wounded. The DJia contradicts the report, and states that the General was in the city in the enjoy ment of excellent health. The news received from Bayou Lafourche is very sad. The estates were almost entirely deserted and the crops were considered ruin ed. The French plantations were particularly desolate. On the afternoon of Saturday, the Sth, there was not a bale of cotton in the New Orleans market, nor a hogshead of sugar of the new crop. Of the last crop there were sold 164 hhds prime at No molasses. A letter to the Delta, dated at Gen. Weitzel s hcadqnrrters, Novembers, states that Lieut. Buchanan bad returned from another excur sion up the Biivou Teche, on board of the Star. He again encountered the gunboat Gotten. The rebels had constructed batter ies on both sides the bavou, but he succeded in dislodgicg them. He had three men killed in the engagement.

That Commission will meet in Cincinnati, and alter one or two days’ session, will adjourn to "Washington, it being impossible to [secure the attendance of the most important wit nesses north of that point. It is asserted here in military circles that the Commission will develope some startling facts, and that as matters now appear, the case looks even worse for Bnell than is generally supposed. Orders were at last telegraphed. Gcc. Pope, Saturday afternoon, to repair here at once, to give his evidence against 3?itz John Porter. Col. Smith, his Chief of Stall’, is here now. Reports from correspondents at Aquia Creek have been received, dated at nooa to- day- There had been no bombardment np to rhnt time and no attempt had been made to cress over from Falmouth. Wagons were still leaving Fredericksburg constantly, going South, and the rebel cavalry wore seen tiding through the streets.

We don’t believe that the rebels in our immediate front are in any considerable force.” Wasuxsgtom, Kov. 23.—The sensation ru mors of mediation and intervention brought by the Persia, are spurious.

I have the Grenada Appeal of the X3th,irom which I send the following exfract: “A serious slave riot occurred at Norfolk, Ya., lately, and threatened serious consequen ces. The Appeal is greatly exercised about the present and prospective condition of aflkirsin Mississippi, and addresses a highly inflamma tory appeal to the Southern weak-kneed chival ry, to rally, meet and resist the enemy on the battle field. The Arkansas Legislature met at Little Rock oh the 3d. Got. Bector resigned. Judge Fletcher, President of the Senate, is acting Governor until the inauguration of CoL Flan sagas.

The story telegraphed from Cairo, that Gen* Bragg, with 15,000.meri, now occupies Holly Springe, and that he is fortifying and prepar ing to fight in that neighborhood, is utterly withont foundation. Smallparties come from the Tallahatchie to Holly Springs almost daily, and extend their scouts several miles north wards of our advance, but they are scouting parties only, and ‘have no important signifi cance. Yesterday the bridge across Coldwa- ter was burned by one of these parties. All the bridges and culverts from Cold water to [ Tallahatchie were burned and destroyed. A rebel cavalry force crossed the Memphis and Charleston railroad near Lafayette, & day or two since and made a raid in the region round about Somerville, capturing several citizens and cotton buyers, whom they pro pose to bang.

The rebels mustered strongly, whereupon the Mohawk, fired shells twenty minutes into the town and stopped. A female bearing a flag of truce approached the ship. A lieutenant went ashore to meet her. On his return the ship hauled off, intending to return toFeroandinaj when the rebels find a volley of musketry at the ship, which then returned abreast the town and kept up a fire for an hour and a half, re ducing half the place to ashes. Almost every house ia injured. Previous to firing the sec ond time, the captain invited all the women aboard his ship, but they declined. No guns were aimed at the house in which they en sconscd themselves.
