MISSOURI REPORTER

THE undersigned, under the firm Of PENN
- u VAN ANTWERP, proposes 10 publish a
newspaper in ST. Louis. IL will be their aim
TO give early intelligence Of passing events,
and frequent satisfactory notices of the prin.
cIpal markets of the country, with an accu-
rate Price Current Of this city. The paper
will be utilitarian-,he champion of all con-
stitu,ional measures designed to lessen the
dangers Of navigation, and protect and cher
Ish the vast inland m of which ST.
Louis must be regarded as the centre.
A portion OF the Columns Of the Reporter
will be devoted to Literature and Poetry,
for the qualification of those who consider
variety the spice of life; and another portion
10 agricultural interests, and Improvements
calculated TO develope the varied and me-
qualled resources of Missouri. Illinois, &c.
and the superior advantages of St. Louis
4 city destined in n very few years TO eclipse
all her sisters Of the west.
The politics of the Reporter will be deci-
dedly Democralic-but whilst it will firmly
and tearlessly maintain the just and genial
principles of The great party of which it is
to be an humble organ, its course will ever
be strictly decorous. Abtse makes no con-
verlS; vIrulence only serves TO weaken a
good cause. 1t is therefore our fixed deter
mination to exclude personalities; as far as
it may be possible to do so, and uniformly to
decline the publication of articles unnecessa-
rly lnilamatory, or calculated to produce
trolls, sectional jealousies or schisms in the
party with which we have hitherto acted
Our business will be to follow, not TO lead;
to exert our energies to promote harmony
throughout the great Democratic family; to
impress upon the minds of our political breth-
rem the vital but somtimes disregarded truth
-"in union there is strength.
The first number Of the REPORTER will be
issued about the fifteenth of December next.
1t will be some what larger than the Washing
ton Globe or lntelligencer, and will be pub
llshed on the following terms:
Daily paper, half yearly in advance, --- $40 90
weekly, do -------- 3 90
1t is understood, however that the subscri-
bers will not be Called upon to pay before
received the first number of the paper.
Advertisements will be inserted annually.
or otherwise, at the usual rates.
Arrangements are in progress which will
enable US to add the subscription list of the
Argus TO that Of the Reporter.

streams by forming RATS, with two poles OF
saplings, say 90 or 80 feet long, cross bars
at each end, 4 feet apart, end uprights al
each end sunk to whatever depth the water
may be. The hemp is loaded on these RATS
and sunk, as | observed above. There are
fifty or more farmers water-rotting Temp tor
me in this State. Their modes are various;
some have built plank watts. | have also a
contract with Mr.. Estell, Of Missouri, to de.
liver me 200 tons, which l perceive he is
preparing. No hemp less than five feet will
be received by the Governments: it must be
well cleaned and bundled, otherwise it will
be rejected. | anticipate being in Missouri
as early as | receive instructions from the
Secretary of the Navy, which | am looking
for daily. NV intention is to give the State
Of Missouri every encouragement to prose-
cute this business diligently, and to a great
extent. 1900 tons, Of water.rotted hemp.
can find a good market at not less than So
for lie lbs, delivered at some point on the
river. for steam boats 10 take it.
1t behoores the farming interest TO turn
their attention to this subject, and promote
the great object which the Government has
in view-to make our country independent
of the foreign article. | flatter myself that
in six years this can be done if the farmers
will rally around me and cooperate with me.
In this State, next year, there will be hum
dreds Of tons water rotted; and | shall be
happy to find that Missouri is dilligent in the
cause. Tennessee, Indiana and Illinois all
are in correspondence with me, and are ma
king preparation to enter into the field 10
promote their interest in the cause, as well
as to make our country independent of the
foreign article. Our article is superior to
the Russia; all it requires is to be particular
in preparing it, and that by care and atten-
ton can be done. If the farmers will take
hold Of it with a determined spirit 10 make
themselves perfect, our hemp will have a de-
cided preference over Russia, not only by the
Government but by the private manufac,u-
rers in the east. They can spin 10 lbs. more
in a hundred than Russia, and it takes 5 pts
less tar; only have it properly prepared.
submit this for the consideration Of the
farmers, trusting they will give it their due
consideration and prompt action.
am, gentlemen, very respectfully,
Yours, &c.,

The works of an Author, like Scott, cannot be
too extensively diffused. No one can rise from a Pc
rusal of his writing without being instructed as well
as amused. The cause Of religion, virtue and NOR
atty, find an advocate on every page-vice will
seek encouragement from the same source in vain
1t has been well observed by an able and eloquent
American critic, that 'if ever a writer deserved Uni
versal Citizenship, it was Sir Walter Scott. He was
the Poet Of Nature, the delineater of his species in
every climate, and on every soil; so that, whenever
works were known, there was he to be regarded
as a native and a denizen.n
1t is in this spirit, that the publishers of the new
edition Of the Waverly Novels have undertaken to
present them TO the American people. They have
supposed that tbev could not render a better or more
service to the great mass of readers, than
by placing such n publication within their reach. The
revised uniform Edinburgh edition. from which this
is re- printed comprises fortyeight volumes. the cost
of which is seventy-two dollars. The edition now

PROSPECTUS
WEEKLY POLITICAL NEWSPAPER.
CALLED
1.-THE
Published in Bowling Green, Missouri.

The above will be the title of an old paper un-
der a new lame to be published in Bowling Green,
Mo-, by the undersigned. With the change Of
name there will be NO change in the political
course of the paper. 'THE RADICAL, will
pursue the same course as has heretofore been
pursued by the "Salt River Journal.n It will
advocate a strict and rigid Interpretation of the
constitution as the best safeguard of the rights Of
the people and of the states, and as the only guar
antee OF the durability of our union. 1t will OBJ
pose the exercise of all doubtful powers by Com
gress, and as a necessary consequence will wage
an uncompromising war against a National Bank,
whatever name 1t may assume-against a protec-
tive tariff, as wrong in itself and dangerous to the
harmony of the MEMBERS of the National Con-
federacy-and against the attempt to bride the in
debted states into the support of the Federal
Party by a distribution of the proceeds of the.
sales of the public lands among the states.
The undersigned are DESTROYS to extend the
of the "RADIcAL," and with this view
no effort will be spared to render it acceptable to
the Democracy of this portion of the State
From them we have to look for much the larger
proportion OF our patronage, and we shall strive
to make our sheet worthy of their support and
OF the great principles it advocates. The terms
of subscription have been reduced so as to make
II III VI 'He cheapest papers In the State; and, II
not the best, we intend that it shall be inferior to
none In every thing that constitutes an able and
interesting paper.
The first number of the "RADrcAL" will be
issued on Saturday, the 9th of November, on a
sheet of a size of the Journal but with con-
siderable improvements. A large portion of it
will be in smaller type-thereby adding to its
appearance and TO the quantity of reading matter.
The terms will be 81 to a club of 8 or more
subscribers, paid in advance. $2.5O to a single
subscriber, if paid within 6 months, and SIS il
not paid till after that period.
