Change of Rates
   The Press of Savannah feel that they have borne long enough the extraordinary inflation of prices, as regards both labor and material, without an effort to meet it by a correspondent increase in their own charges. Nearly every article used in the printing of a newspaper has gone up several hundred per cent, whilst, unlike  all other men of business, we have adhered, with serious detriment to ourselves, to our old tariff of rates. The public cannot expect further sacrifice on our part, and we therefore, announce that on and after the first day of January, 1863, the following will be observed as the schedule of prices at our respective offices.
Daily Paper per annum $10.00
         "         6 months 6.00
         "         per month or ??? and 6 months 1.00

                    No subscription for less time than 6 months  
Weekly Paper per annum 3.00
