The Tenth volume

The Tenth Volume
OF the " WILMINGTON JOURNAL, commences with
this number. We would like, on the present occa-
sion, to discourse while with cur readers on the
ups and DOWNS the progress and other matters con-
nected with our establshment-the success and un-
successful-and whatever might be deemed worthy
of note, on the of our 10th year of ex
istence in Wilmington. All these things, and more
too might be jotted down and sent forth to the
world for criticism reflection and family converse
ton but writing Editor, who is much more
of philosopher than his worthy associate is
can or will be, is absent enjoying the cool
breezes of Northern latitude, and we-the 4" wor-
thy"-having hands full with the business con-
Germs of our establishment prefer to give all these
things the go-by.
eve told however, this is an age of progress.
Well, we have progressed so far pretty well, with
our Weekly-this being the st No. of the Tenth
Volume. Our subscribers have been very kind and
nunctual, for which we hereby return them our
most hearty and earnest thanks, as yell as to our
generous advertising customers in this paper and
the Daily Journal To offer thanks thus prompt
lyis the chief object of this notice; but will our
generous patrons and their 1000 friends in general,
and the public at large allow u.s. just moderately to
hint that we think, Gust privately to ourselves
Gke,) that transcription list ought to progress as
other things progress, in this age of progress. We
intend our weekly, daily, hourly, unremtting hard
work upon the paper shall progress, and mean
to take all pains to keep pace with the times. And
hope that this large Democratic District num-
berng upwards of 10000 voters, will come forward
and instead of subscribers, send money enough
to appear somewhat proportionae to the size of the
District.
We beg leave further to hint that, our Daily pa
per offers to wealthy merchants and distillers, and
turpentne and timber getters in the country and
town, and elsewhere, the only, and think very
cheap daily paper, by which they can be constantly
kept advised of the commercial and other news of
town. Will they not enable to put it a
footing with the village papers Of the North
to support which SO much money is sent out of the
State Ours is the ONLY DAILY PAPER in North
Carolina
Remember every type and every letter in this pa
per, from one years end to another IS handled to0ce
for each ssueonce to set it up and once to return
the type to its particular box,-besdes press-work

year, is furnished for 81 So in any trade in life,

completion, shall look for list of subscribers
that will vie with any paper North Of New Orleans
or South of Baltimore With this view, we have
lately extended facilities, and expect shortly to
extend them still farther for the accommodation of
the public Our object is to do something that will
be a credit to the place live in, and also to the
business follow for living; we have, conse
quently, drawn heavily pockets during the
last vaar INN of Our liShn
so as to accommodate the wants of the public. We
have done so, believing that that public whom we
have ever found generous towards our enterprises,
will come forward and repay for heavy out
lays, by means of still liberal patronage: in
every respect than we have ever yet received.

Third Volume.
We commence to-day, the third volume of the
DAILY JOURNAL. Two years ago, when we common
ced this enterprise we felt though we saw defeat
before us but now have it in our power to say,
and we do so with much pleasure and our best
thanks to generous community, that the perma-
nency of our Daily is a fixed fact. Our subscription
list is, however, susceptible of being considerably
increated and hope that the friends of an enter
prise of so much Importance to business place like
ours, will to list of subscribers that will
to improve the Daily in all respects
Every who takes a Southern, instead of a
Northern Daily, keep that much money from going
out of the State. Come forward and indulge your
patriotism-practice, instead of preaching States
Rights.
Some time during the last twelve months, we en-
largel the Daily about two columns. We hope be-
fore the third volume expires, to still farther in
crease its size and usefulness
The DAILY JOURNAL will be continued to those
subscribers whose year expires with the end of the
I'd volume Of course if there be any who do no
desire its continuance, they will have the kindness
to notify of the fact.
Yearly advertisers, whose year expires at the same
time, will also be considered as DESTROYS of continu
ing their patronage in that respect unless they
tify to the contrary.
We have thought it best to make the above state
ments, in order to avoid any difficulty hereafter,
~ trouble of seeing our friends and pat
rons - .sOnally.
