            Having made vigorous efforts to procure printing paper from beyond the Mississippi river, we shall make another as early as it can be got through.  The latest accounts are of a very discouraging character.  One of the largest paper mills in the Confederacy has been recently burned down, and others are about to close for the want of material to make paper.  The Montgomery Mail contains a very gloomy article on the subject of paper.  Many newspapers, it states, will have to suspend, and the most fortunate to diminish their size.  We have sufficient paper for our present dimensions to last until the first of August.
