WE have commenced the publication OF anew
paper in clarkiburg, Va, with the above asls,
and flatter ourielf that We present to the Publis
sheet acceptable to all, and worthy Of support.
There have been several attempts beforeto es-
tablish paper in this place, all ofwhieh, from
some casls, have failed to greater less extent
Yet believing this country sufficiently populous
and wealthy, and its citizens amply intelligent
and liberal to support good newspaper, We have
made another trial, in the belief that all that ia
required to secure liberal support, is ths publ
cation of paper worthy Of patronage.
This We shall endeavOr to do; and with our az
perisnce in the business, doubt not that We shall
succeed. Our materials, type, press, Sc., ara en-
tirely new, which will enable rs to make our pa
per, in point Of mechanical execution, second 10
mono in the State. The large size Of our paper
enables TO give all the current news Of the day,
bsAides publishing other articles Of general inter
est. The Literary portion Of our journalism By
no means be neglected; about one half Of our
columns win be weekly devoted to this species Of
reading, which will make our paper interesting
to every family.
Itmay be thought that We ara liberal in making
promises, but we refer to our paper rs evidence
that all are fulfilled.
The news Of the coming year win be more than
ordinarily interesting. Commencing with the
doings of Congress and the State Legislature, to-
gether with the exciting condition Of our foreign
affairs, and closing with Presidential campaign.
The proceedings Of the State Legislature du-
ring its coming session will be Of especial interest
inasmuch As tho New Constitution does away
with many Of the old forms and uIsgss, and new
ones will have to be substituted, is Of vast i'm
portance to every person to be informed upon the
new laws which must necessarily be passed, as
many of them will, in all probability, greatly diff
fer from those now in force.
The Presidential campaign Of the coming sea-
son will be one Of the most important elections
that has ever occurred in the history of our
try. The late difficulties on the slavery question
rendered it matter of doubt at one time whether
either of the two great parties of the country
could unite in National Convention for the NOM
inatiOn of candidate; but recent transactions
have shown that whatever our opponents may do,
the Democratic Party will go into the contest up
on national principles which will command the
support Of all sections of the country.
All these subjects of exciting interest will be
thoroughly discussed by the public prints, and
no where can a more general information in re-
gard to them be obtained, than through their me-
dunn.
This, in addition to the general news given ev-
cry week, forms great indueement for all to take
the paper. Our terms are low as paper can
possibly be printed for in this country. The at
| tempt has frequently been made to publish pa
per for less price, and nearly every month wit
nesses their downfall. There is probably not q
man in the country who does not wish to see =
| good paper established in this place. We have
Commenced the publication Of one which we shall
endeavor to make worthy of that cognomen, and
call upon all to assist in establishing it upon
firm basis. Our subscription list is rapidly in
creaSng, but We have not yet As great number
as we should have; yet If we continue to increase
| as rapidly n have since commencement,
a few months will place the permGnency Of our
undertaking beyond doubt. We hope, there
fore, that our friends will not their efforts
in our behalf; and let each subscriber endeavor
to induce his neighbors to send for the paper also
By this means, NO win soon obtain sufficient
| patronage.
We viii furnish tho Register upon the follow
ing terms, payable within six months from the
time Of subscribing
