PROSPECTUS
THE WEEKLY PICAYUNE

THE WEEKLY PICAYUNE.
In consequence OF the popularity which
our daily paper has gained IN all sections
OF the country, ana the numerous de-
mands we are receiving rom all quarters
Tor weekly journal, We have determined
On starting une vi that description, to be
entitled the "l'HE WEEKLY pIcAYUNE.n
To adopt the same ngurallye style used
in our hrst prospectus, we have Tilted oul
the "Plcdyune" Ior more distant voyages,
and irelghIed her with all sorts Of notions
IN the shape OF reada0leS; and ii the same
success ,.ltcnds her which she has met
with while coastlng nearer home, we shall
doubtless receive rich returns.
TO prepare our little craft Tor the more
extended STA On which she is destined TO
move, we have put On her many additions
and improvements. Some ol her old tim.
beers have been taken out and replaced by
new-she has u greater measurement fore
and ait, greater length Vi beam, and her
sheets have bccn materially enlarged
Notwithstanding the Increased size, the
public may rest assured that the 'P,cayuile'
will be enabled lo work in ShOat water with
the same facility as heretofore, and form
channels OF communication which it would
be folly Tor the dull heavy vessels at pres
ent sailing this port TO navigate.
Commission merchants and others hav-
ing freight in the shape OF advertisements
to ship lor the country trade, would do
we'll 10 send them Oh board our clipper, as
she is up Tor every city in the u. States,
and all intermediate landings.
We reiterate 10 those lanatical pirates
who cruise under the black Aag--who op
pose slavery because they are themselves
the slaves OF ignorance and superstition
who pretend 10 rub c,ean the upper decks
of their neighbors with holy slone-we
say look out Tor breakers.
TO Hotel keepers we recommend our
paper; in every engagement her co,nman-
der will be tirst TO lead on the ooarders!!
TO the Heads Of Families the trim ap-
pearance Of our craft will be an objec, OF
interest. Most married folks have expe-
rienced the effects OF tight-sparring.
We shall cnJeavor to make those smIo-
glers, the Bachelors, heave to-show them
the advantages OF the proper "cOmpdaio,l-
Uay," recommending double siale-room,
wnhA6irthS, &c.
We shall send our boat aboard Theatri-
Gals and other amusemenls; those pretty
pleasure. boats, which make our passage
over.the lake oflikc so delightful Dane
ing we shall especially encourage; as we
conceive that the safety Of vessel often
depends upon keeping both pumps going.
On first launching the "Ptcdyunen we
promised to carry press Of sail in case
We we're warranted by sale from the
press. Through all the storms which have
ragged since she first sailed she has borne
up under full sales, without ever being
taken aback, and is now ranked A. /.
al all the insurance and other Offices of the
city. Our policy still holds good, and we
never intend it shall run out.
Dropping our figure, and returning TO
plain language, we will now add that we in
tend to make the Picayunc vehicle Of
fun, wit, humor and sentiment, and lit
tie of every thing that's going on. II shall
be our delight to crack jokes, to tell stories
lnour own way, 10 ridicule folly, and 70 cor
rect the manners of the age by exciting
laughter against them. In this, however.
