The Eighth Volume of the Daily Journal,


1t is customary, we believe, to say something at
the commencement of volume, and in accordance
with this CUSTOM we call the attention of our readers
to the fact flat the Daily Journal" enters today
upon the eighth year cf its existence in other words,
the daily newspaper press of North Carolina, of which
the Journal is the Pioneer is now seven years and
a day old.
The history of the daily press in the State is neith
er long nor eventfu. So far Wilmington is con-
cerned it came into existence without flourish of
pets, and it has kept on TO bc sure, there may
have been nothing TO flourish over but we all know
that the oudest flourish is generally made where there
is the least foundation. At any rate, the Journal
has passed through the perS of infancy and weahered
ali the contingencies of the hard times" and is still
prepared to 60 its way rejoicing, cheered, as it
hopes to be, by the continued support of the public,
both in the way of subscription and advertising.
Although, like Others VIC have had our little trials
and difficulties, arising out Of the pressure Of the
times cannot, looking back, find any real cause
for complaint or dissatisfaction with our business during
the last twelve months Our list has kept growing,
if not very rapidly yet still certainly, while adj
vertising and jobbing have been good.
Speaking Of iobbing, We may be allowed to remark,
since we can do so with perfect truth, that we pos
sesS job Office exceeded in extent style Of materials
by few. if any, at the South. Indeed, we think that
our job work will compare iavoraby with any done
either North Or South During the present year we
have added new materials and styles Of type to our
already large assortment besides purchasing all the
types of the Commercial Office and selecting from them
every article of real value, and nothing else.
Well, we're at our old trick of putting but really we
cannot see why should not be permitted to puff
selves little. We have frequently been bored into putting
people that feel certain did not deserve WE'LL and
that we know did not begin to as much about
Why should not be permitted to remind our mercan-
tile community that publish valuable and interest
ing weekly paper known as the Wilmington Journal
paper of extensive circulation in Eastern North Caro-
lima and not unknown in other parts of the State and
therefore furnishing unequaed advertising medium by
which to reach the people of the country This sugges
ton is, Of course perfectly dsnterested being intended
wholly for the benefit of advertisers and others.
We trust that the eighth year Of daily existence
will be marked by better state general business than
the seventh has been and that all worthy citizens
will make money, subscribe for the Daily and advertise
in it, paying cheeruly therefor, all worthy citizens
will be sure to do.-Da'ly Journat, It'll INST.

The Paraguay Expedition.

There would appear to be hesitation about the
expedition to be sent out to Paraguay State in South
America situated near the other end of the continent be-
tween the 9th and 9th degrees of South latitude 1t
that certain Z. S. surveying vessels in the
Paragua River were, some two years ago. fired
into by batteries erected the Paraguayan side of
that stream, and proper satisfaction has yet
been made for the insult to national flag
Indemnity is also due to our citizens in other
eases but has never been accorded by Lopez, the
successor Of DR.. Franca as the Government - of
Paraguay. TO enforce claims this expedition is
being fitted out, authority for that purpose having
been conferred upon the President although is ques
tionahIe whether he possesses adequate means. The
Para9uayan territory is situated something like six hun
dred miles from the sea, by way of the great Parana
river, and is only accessible in vessels of light draft
and with the assistance of steam. This is class of
vessels in which Navy is almost wholly wanting,
and suitable vessels cannot be hired by the Government
without paying extortionate prices, The nominal
military force of Paraguay 10000 but perhaps they
might get 10000 to $4,000 under arms. The rivers
which surround their territory sufficiently narrow to
be commanded by forts their margin. The distance
the interior position of Paraguay the nature of the eli
mate the deficiency of vessels OF the proper GLASS; and
the few at the disposal of the Executive have cats-
ed delay and induced caution. The ezpedit on will short
y sail we presume and will we trust give rood ac-
count of itself
