= The seventh volume Of the Weekly Crescent
commences with tho number published to-day
2 what the CHARACTER Of the paper has been dur
Sing she preceding years Of its existence how
/ nearly the performance has liVei up to the pro-
mise ID all leave to the decision of Its read
ers and patrons; only avoNing that it has been
The constant aim and endeayor Of its conductors
to make it q news and family Journal q the
very first class.
ghe leadiuG features of the Weekly Crescent
viii continue much the same as before, except
Hill that literature and miscellaneous matter
NAL be more largely introduced and less space
devoted To party politics. although care will be
taken to keep its readers advised Of political
gayente. All the latest news obtained by mail
and telegraph will be found In Q carefully di-
gested state in Sts columns, together with such
tales and sketches Us are calculated to be Of the
most general interest. There will be editorial
articles On the prominent subjects Of the day
and such correspondence, from different por-
tons Of our own and other countries, as is likely
to be valuable, entertaining and instructive
The news Of the city will embrace every thing
of importance that transpires, and it is hoped
that the commercial reports and reviews Of the
market viii commend themselves to the conf
dence Of readers. In fine it will be the steady
object of the proprietor to render the Weekly
Crescent ais attractive and valuable compen-
dunn Of literature and news as can be found in
the Southwest
1t is our desire to publish journal that will
be perused with equal pleasure in the parlor
and the office !; in the city and country; BY la
dies, lawyers, mechanics, merchants and indi-
yiduals Of all classes and callings. To secure
that end neither money, time or pains will be
y spared. w i
The Weekly Crescent will retain its present
shape, containing eight pages, or forty eight
oolumns, of closely condensed reading matter
The advertising admitted is Of q very limited
amount, and altogether such as must be valua-
Sic to country subscribers, Some improvements
nil be made in the mechanical appearance of
the paper at an early day, which will. it is
hoped, give ii additional favor in the eyes Of its
readers. The present volume starts forth with
advantages denied it's predecessors and under
tho most fattering auspices Il eirculates
largely in all the South western States, and to
4 . greater or less extent in every State Of the
Union.
Copies can always be obtained. by those de-
srons of giving distant friends notion Of what
