The Grand GMIF Wing.

HNHE publication of paper bearing the
above title will be commenced in the
town of GraRd Gulf on or about the 18th
day of June.
Its political principles will be fully firm
ly, warmly wing. am opposed to the pre-
sent administration, so far as it has devel-
oped its policy, either in theory or prac-
tee. ! cannot but believe that its darling
objects are the concentration Of all power
in the hande of The Executive, and an ire
sponsicle. unwise and tyraBnical exercise
OF that power. Its aims are sel6sh--its acts
have been anti-republican, unteeIing, and
fatal to the prosperity of the nation. The
WING will advocate the restoration of
sound currency, the careful preservation of
State rights, and pure and perfect love for
the men and manners of the Republic in
its ealy days. 1t will be my anxious wis,h
to avoid blind partizanship on sI'o one hano'
and lukewarmnesS on the other.
Mississippi has declared, in her late cleo
ton. that she will no longer wear the yoke
of a despotic party thraldom--that she IS
and will be free. To cherish the inhuen-
ces of patriotiom, 10 resist corruption and
oppression, to inform, the peopie-the source
Of all power-should now be the dearest OBJ
lects of every Wing press Let not the
Wings rest on their arms, though victory
perches on their banners. To aid, howev-
er humbly, in the great cause of political re-
form will be my highest ambition.
shall studiously exert myself to make
the WING a useful print to every class Of
readers who usually resort to newspapers
1t will be printed weekly at s. year, pay
able in adrance. Ifsutficien; patronage be
afforded, il viii be printed for atleast par
Of the year, semi-weekly, in which case
small addition will be made to the subscrip
ton price above named.

Mansion House,
NEAR PENSACOLA.

INNHE Subscriber having purchased tho
lease and furniture Of this we'll known
establishment from Mr.. Tay Tor, the late pro-
priotor, will be ready to re - visitors by
the first Of April.
Numerous and costly improvementswll
be found in the arrangements and accom-
modations of the Mansion House. New
and more commodious bathing houses will
DO built, and warm baths provided at all
hours. A stable will he attached to the
house, with good accommodations for horses
and carriages. First rate houses e. caring s
will also be for hire at moderate prices: and
sail and row boats, with persons to manage
them for the use of visitors. Billiards and
and other amusements usually found at wa
tering places, will also be furnished, and so
conducted as not to interfere with the com
fort and quiet of the boarders. The wines
and liquors will also be Of the best quality ;
and to ensure full supply flee, cargo

Mr.. L. q. BARNARD, who formerly kept a
popular hotel in Washington city, will con-
duct the hotel for the proprietor; who with
such aid, confidently assures TO visitors OF
of the year, and has friends generally, that
they will receive every possible attention,
and thereby expect to give general satisfac-
ton.
The local advantages of this house are
too well known to need heightened dis
cription here. The fact that Pensacola is
the largest naval station ofthe government,
the general rendezvous of the Gulf squad
ron: the salubrity of climate, refreshed con-
stantly during the summer months by the
coolest breezes from the Guf--the beauty
Of the Bay and the neighboring Islands and
rivers; the abundance and delicacy Of the
fish with which the waters abound, and prox-
unity to the best southern markets, give
Pensacola the preference over all other pla-
ces in these attitudes, as healty and de-
lightful resort.
First rate boats will run between Pensa-
cola and Mobile, and will at all times be a
BILE to take the passengers from the New Or
leans boats. N. b. ARNOLD.
