The next morning Walker and Brown
were early at their posts, but it was some
time before Watson made his appearance.
Walker began first:

SINGLE COPIES, PER Assvm 90

The Daily Standard contains daily telegraph
ic report, Market Report, and a report of
General Information furnished by the mail from
every section OF the Union.
1t also presents daily report of the Stock
Market, the Cotton Market of the Arrivals and
Departures of Ships, and of the arrivals of pas
scngers.
Once week is presented comparative
statement of the receipts and shipments of Cot
ton, Rice and Lumber, Mt the port of Charleston,
and comparative statement of the Receipts
and Exports of Cotton ut all the ports of the u.
nitcd States.
All news of personal and political character,
both foreign and domestic, is given with the
greatest possible promptness; and to insure this
object we have secure ed the services fan able
corps of correspondents.
1t is our special object TO publish NEWS
PAPER, proper. We shrink from the express
sion of no opinion which may be demanded by
the subject before us, but as a general principle
prefer stating facts at the earliest instant posi-
bic, and to leave it to our readers to form their
own opinions.
The course of the paper is severely conserva-
tive first of morality and order next, of the in
Stitutions peculiar to the South, and next of the
union OF the States We resolutcly oppose rad
icalism as well in democracy as morals.
One important object in the establishment of
onr paper, was to present a cheap vehicle for
information. From this object we have been
compelled to depart, to some extent; but not to
leave it entirely out of view, we propose to sell
the paper at our counter, in packages of TEN
for rTWENTi-FIVEC CENTS, and to MAIL TEN
Copies to any one of our subscribers, for year,
who will send us FIFTY DOLLARS. This will
relieve us from the risks of collection aud the
expense of mailing so many different packages,
while it will give to every neighborhood through
out the State, the oportunity of a daily paper ut
