r,ew--she has greater measurement fore
and aft, greater length OF beam, and her
sheets have been materially enlarged.
Notwithstanding the Increased size, the
public may rest assured that the 'Picayune'
will be enabled to work in Shoal lcater with
the same facility as heretofore, and form
channels Of communication which 1t would
be folly for 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 for the country trade, would do
we'll TO send them on board our clipper, as
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 fiag-who op.
pose slavery because they are themselves
the slaves of ignorance and superstition
who pretend B rub clean the upper decks
of their neig Hbors 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 to6ead on the borders!
To the Heads Of Families the trim APP
pearance Of our craft will be an object of
interest. Most married folks have expe-
rienced the effects Of light-sparring.
We shall endeavor to make those snug
glers, the Bachelors, heave to--show them
the advantages of the proper "compaaion-
ray" recommending double state-room,
with births, &c.
We shall send our boat aboard Theatri-
Gals and other amusements; those pretty
pleasure-b boats, which make our passage
over the lake oflike 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 "Picayune'' 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
AIKEN aback, and is now ranked A. /. |
i all the insurance and other offices of the
ity. Our policy still holds good, and we
ever intend it shall run out.
Dropping our figure, and returning to
lain language, we will now add that we in
end to make the Picayune vehicle of
i'm, wit, humor and sentiment, and lit
lie of every thing that's going on. 1t shall
70 our delight to crack jokes, to tell stories
n our own way, to ridicule folly, and to cor
ect the manners of the age by exciting
aughter against them. In this, however,
We shall endeavor to avoid that licentious-
ess which vainly seeks to benefit the pub
ic by wounding the feelings ofindividuals.
A portion of our paper will be occupied
With comprehensive notices of all pass
po eyents-giving the pith of the news of
he day, without burdensome details.
We eschew partisan politics; yet we
hall continue to express our opinions i'm
on all public measures. Follies
n government as we'll as in social life are
'pen to ridicule; and when the humor
eizes us, we shall not spare them, on
whichever party the censure may fall.
All local occurrunces Of general interest
hall be promptly noticed, so that our dis
ant readers may see at glance the min
'ture world which is congregated in this
mporium
With this erpose of our intentions, and
to endeavor with unremittinp
ldustry to fulfil them, we look with con- .
onhdence for continuance of that pa-
'onage which has hitherto been SO cor
tally extended to us. ,
