, ing freight in the shape Of advertisements
TO ship for the country trade, would Dc
well TO send them on board our clipper, al
she is up for every city in the u. States
and all intermediate landings.
We reiterate TO those fanatical pirates
who cruise under the black hag--who op.
pose slavery because they are themselves
the slaves Of ignorance and superstition
who pretend to rub clean the upper decks
of theirheighbors with holy stone-we
say look out for breakers.
To Hotel keepers we recommend our
paper; in every engagement her comman-
der will be first to lead on the boarders!
To the Heads of Families the trim ap-
pearance of our craft will be an object of
interest. Most married folks have expe-
rienced the effects Of hght-sparrimg.
We shall endeavor to make those smug-
glers, the Bachelors, heave to-show them
the advantages of the proper ''compaaion-
aOay," recommending double state-room,
with births, DC.
We shall Send our boat aboard Theatri-
Gals and other amusements; those pretty
pleasure boats, which make our passage
over the lake of like so delightful. Dane
ing we shall especially encourage; as we
conceive that the safety OF vessel often
depends upon keeping both pumps goinge
On first laSnching the "Picayunc" we
promised TO carry press Of sail in case
we were warranted by a 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. /. !
at 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 Picayune a vehicle of
fun, wit, humor and sentiment, and lit
tie of every thing that's goingon Itshall
be our delight to crack jokes, to tell stories
in our own way, to ridicule folly, and to cor
rect the manners of the age by exciting
laughter against them. In this, however,
we shall endeavor to avoid that icentious-
less which vain y seeks to benefit the pub /
ic by wounding the feelings ofindividuals. ,
A portion OF our paper will be occupied t
With comprehensive notices Of all pass
ng events-giving the pith of the news Of q
he day, without burdensome details. |
We eschew partisan politics; yet we {
hall continue to express our opinions i'm ,
'artially on all public measures. Follies {
n government as well as in social life are 4
pen to ridicule; and when the humor t
elzes US, we shall not spare them, on |
party the censure may fall. ?
All local occurrunces of general interest t
hall be promptly noticed, so that our dis t
mt readers may see at a glance the min
lture world which is congregated in the t
mporium. z
With this expose of our intentions, and Y
etermlned TO endeavor with unremitting a
ldustry to fulfil them, we look with con- o
onfidence for continuance of that pa Il
ronage which has hitherto been so cor S
tally extended to US. G.
The "Weekly Picayune" will be publish
d every Monday morning, at $500 per ty
mum, payable in all cases in advances; 81

nbraclng all the news of the week, with pc
hateyer of interest transpires on Sun m
