WE have commenced the publication Of = new
paper in claTksburg, Va, with tho above title,
and hattsr ourself that we present TO the public
shees acceptable to all, and worthy Of support.
there have been several attempts before to es-
taohsh paper in this place, all Of which, from
some cause nave failed 70 greater or less extent.
Yet believing this country sufficiently populous
and wealthy, and its citizens amply inselHgent
and liberal to support good nswspaper, We bave
made another trial, in the belief that all that is
required to secure liberal support, is the publ
cation of paper worthy Ofpasronage. ~
This we shall endeavor to do; and with our ex-
perience in the business, doubt not that we shall
succeed. Our materials, type, press, &c., are en-
tirely new, which will enable US to make our pa
per, in point of mechanical execution, second to
none in the State. The large sizo Of our paper
enables to give all the current news Of the day,
besides publishing other articles Of general inter
est. The Literary portion Of our journal shall by
no means be neglected; about one half Of our
columns will be weekly devoted to this species Of
reading, which viii make our paper interesting
to every family.
1t may be thought that We are liberal In making
promises, but we refer TO our paper ~ evidence
that all are fulfilled.
The news of the coming year will be moro 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 usages, and new
ones will have 10 BIO substituted. 1t is of vast i'm
portance to every person to be informed upon the
new laws which must necessarily be passed, as
many of thom will, in all probability greatly diff
fer from those now in force.
Tho Presidential campaign Of the coming sea-
son win be one Of the most important elections
that has ever occurred in the history Of our
try. The late difficulties tho slavery question
rendered it matter of doubt A. one time whether
either Of the two great parties of the country
could unite in National Convention for the nom
ination of a candidate; but recent trAnsac tons
have shown that whatever our opponents may do,
the Democratic Party will go into the contest up
on national principles which will command tho
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 more general information in 70 b.
gard to them be obtained, than through their mo-
dunn.
This, in addition to the general news given Ov-
cry week, forms great inducement for all to take
the paper. Our terms are AS low as paper can
possibly be printed for in this country. The at
tempt has frequently been made to publish pa
per for n less price, and nearly every month wit
nesses their downfall. There is probably not Il
man in the country who does not wish TO see q
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
crcGsing, but we have not yet as great number
rs we should have; yet if we continue to increase
as rapidly we have since our commencement,
a few m:nths will place the PoImancney of our
undertaking beyond doubt We hope, there
fore, that our friends will not their efforts
in our behalf; and let each subscriber ondeavor
to induce his neighborS to send for the paper also
By this MEANS VIC will soon obtain o sufficient
patronage.
We will furnish tho Register upon the follow
ing terms, payable within ak months from the
time of subscribing
