PROSPECTUS
9XzE iSgSHgY,EEe As.qJNsveEEe.

UNDER the above Title, il is proposed TO
publish u paper in the Town Of Sumter
Vile. The paper will be issued weekly,
on the morning Of every Wednesday.
1t is believed, that Sumter District af.
(ords as muny capabilities for sustaining
weekly newspaper, as medium Of Adver-
lisement, General News and Business, rs
any Of her sister Districts in the State; and,
conhding in this belief, we invite, to our
columns, the attention Of those, both in
this and The surrounding Districts, who
may be dcsirous of advertising and see fit
to do SO. II is we'll known, that the sup
port of paper in general, depends not ses
much on the magnitude Of lis subscription
list, us on the advertising patronage which
il may receive. This is the case in cities.
In a country Town, however, and District.
this is, we must depend on the patron
age both Of subscribers and advertisers
We hope, then, that our enterprise will no,
fail from want Of encouragement.
a strict attention will be paid to the To-
cal interests Of the Town and District, and
we shall endcavor 10 keep up. necessary,
tie spirit aud enthusiasm, which now cX-
lists, in regard to The conneXion Of Sumter
with Charleston and Wilmington, IN. CO.
by Rail Road. .lE+>
In Politics. The BANNER will be strict.
ly Democratic, and will give firm support
To- the National Administration, SO far as
it conforms 10 the principles upon which
it secured the support Of The Democratic
party al the South.
The assistance OF friend, fully compe-
tent to the task, has been secured for the
editorial department.. 1t is not deemed
necessary to make al exposition Of the
great variety of matter that will bo con-
tnned in the pages Of our paper; suffice il
say. that no pains will be spared to render
i an acceptable visiter III every family in
the District. The undersigned trusts. that
the late failure in the attempt 10 establish
n paper in this. place, will not be permitted
20 operate uniavornbly upon his enterprise.
The paper will be printed on super.
royal sheet. with fve.columus to the page,
at'Two Dollars and Fifty Gents, if paid in
advance, Three Dollars, nj the expiration
of six months, or Three Dollars aud Fifty
Cents, al the end Of the year.

WARRINGTON, March s-l0PM
BY the schooner Delta, at New Orleans on the
lst INST, we have news from Tampico to the 10Th
ulnmo.
General Scott arrived at Tampico on the 18th.
where it was reported that Vera CruE had boon
evacuated by order Of Santa Anna, and the
enemy's troops marched to the interior.
Mr.. Lumsdcn writes TO the Picay1ns from Tam
pico, 18th ult that he has seen letter from
Mexican officer to friend, dated San Luis the
Oh, which states that Santa Anna was to march
or Saltllo preparatory to attacking Monterey.
General Urea, with 5000 troops, at Victoria,
was to attack Matamoras, and both expeditions
must prove successful.
