PROPOSALS
For EmIargfng and Extending the
Circulation
OF TIE
IYAXOO CITY WING.

At the solicitation of many Of
our friends, and desire on our
part TO make our papera useful me-
dunn of communication to the pub
lie generally, we have determined
TO- ENLAGE AND OTHERWISE IMPROVE
THE APPEARANCE OF THE "YAZOO
CITY WHIG," so as to make it
more worthy of a general circula-
ton among the people of the inter-
IiOr.-Yazoo City is the trading and
shipping point of a large, rich, and
popuIous section Of country, and the
facilities afforded at this point for
collecting the Iatesteyents that trans
pire in the political and commercial
world, hold out inducements, for
the public to sustain a journal at
: this place devoted to the advance
.. ment of its interests.
We have labored faithfully,
through evil report, and through
good report for the last ten years
in blishing a paper in YazoO
City; and, during that whole period,
what patronage we have received,
, was voluntarily and generously
rendered, without an effort on our
part to obtain it. Our interests are
identified with those of YazoO City
here we have reared a family
and, here we expect to end the bal
ance Of our days.
To effect the improvements
contemplated in the WHIG, we shall
Il necessarily be compelled to incur
., considerable extra expense and,
" to enable US to do this, we have
issued this PROSPECTUS, with the
!. view to add additional subscribers
to our list.
: We have determined to make
the WING worthy of a liberal and
generous support and, we now
call upon our friends TO use their in
: fuence and aid to accomplish this
object. Two or three hundred adj
ditional subscribers, and more Ex-
Of TENDED patronage from our adver-
Of Using friends will be all-sufficient.
Our arrangements are such, that
we can confidently assure our pat
rOns that they shall not be disap-
pointed in their expectations, the
!, WHIG shall not be inferior to any
isb of its contemporaries, in the QUAIL
we Try and QUANTITY of reading mat
- ter it contains, or in the BEAUTY
'on and ACCURACY of its MECHANICAL
WIS EXECUTION. We have engaged
iia' the services of several gentlemen
i, emirentIy qualified, to be regular
Ks, contributors to its columns-wC
IRIS have, also, engaged the services o
n's several commercial gentlemen, 0

The above is a faithful portrait of NJ Johannes
Ronge, the Luther of the nineteenth century, as he
is termed.
Our readers are aware that the reformation which
is, at present. going with such force, in Germany
Austria, Poland, and other countries on the CONT
nent OF Europe, was originated by humble Priest
named Johannes Ronge. 1t commenced about
year ago, at the exhibition of shirt, or tunic,
which was IN the possession OF the Romish authori-
ties, and which, they alleged, was worn by cur
Saviour. 1t was customary for the Catholics, at each
exhibition of this shirt, to make pigrimages from
all parts of Europe, to see it, which they were al
lowed to do, on paying small amount of money.
In this way, there was considerable revenue rails
ed by the Church authorities. At the last exhibi
tion, by Bishop Analdi, at Treves, this humble
priest, Johannes Ronge, denounced the shirt as an
imposition, and the exhibition of it deception, by
the Church, to raise money from the superstition
OF the people. The standard OF revolt being thus
raised, Ronge made many converts; and, after

than took broader ground, and declared against
some of the principles of the Catholic Church !;
particularly against ihe cy he priesthood,
and the confessional; and mat the Catholics
should be independent OF u4e rope The reforma-
ton, as it is called has progressed rapidly and it is
now spreading over Continental Europe. In every
town where NJ Ronge presents himself, thousands
come forth 10 greet him. The people crown him
with flowers; the municipal bodies present him
with addresses; young men ask to be allowed to
take the horses from his carriage; women invoke
the blessings of heaven on his mission, and the
cannon itself thunders his welcome

it is very appropriately styled the new German re-

Pope and maintain the same principles as are up

Progress Of the Copper Mining Speculation
The Herald contained statement short time ago,
with regard to the copper mining business OF Lake su.
perior, which may create wrong impression on those
who unacquanted with the facts That article said
that operations had ceased and those who had in
vested money in the business would probably be losers
by it. II is true that there is much doing now as
during the summer and for the that
has closed for the season; and consequently men and
materials cannot be sent up hereafter until spring; but
there are number of companies actively engaged,
whose operations will be carried vigorously in de-
veopiug the of the mines during the winter
Among these the Lake Superior and the Pittsburgh
Companies, both of which have already sent down
large quantity OF orethe Mackinac and Lake Superior
the Eagle Harbor and the Nor.h American To-
cations of the above companies in the vicinity Of
Copper Harbor except the Mackinac and LAX. Supe
rior which has about twenty miles of locations in the
Porcupne Mountains. and at Presque Isle and Back
Rivers, in the immediate vicinity of the Lake containing
numerous veins OF copper and silver.
In addition to the above, there other companies
preparing to commence operations early in the spring
of which the New York and Michigan the National, the
North Western the Baltimore the Old Settlers and the
Ontanagon, are prominent. All the companies named
are OF the most substantial character with sufficient
means to carry on the business properly and having
persevering and energetic men at their heads.
The discovery Of tins valuable mineral district is not
thing though it is but few years that
and richness have been known; but recently the
United States has obtained the land from the Indians
that the difficulties in the way Of working veins
obvated, the time must arrive when will be
enabled to export "copper" instead OF importing about
millions worth year. Under these circumstances
cannot perceive how money will be lost by investing in
the copper business In England the work
with great profit, though at immense expense from the
necessity working the mines fifteen hundred feet be
low the surface while the Lake Superior comes
up to the surface nea the lake and presents every
cessary facility for the business besides The reports
which have been presented to the legislature of Mich
gon, by Dr. Houghton, the State Geoiogis shows that
contage of copper and of better quality than that of
England and is fully equal in richness to any the
world
