j THE, 1out,toea...h volume Of the ssTINnI-
eATDR,s cormenc, d on the 1st IF. Tanua-
Try, 1858. This paper through. The I1llsds pa
tronage Of the people of this County and
State, has -acquirea and retained an exten-
aiye circulation, so as to have become one
Of the best mediums for advertising, in the
Valley. Heretofore it has been chiefly de-
voted to politics, advocating, to the best Of
its ability, the noble cause Of the Democra-
e., AID 1.hii5at;ng the equal rights of the
People.
Without abating at all their devotion to
Republican Liberty, and still continuing IN
changed the political cothplexion Of the
paper, the. present Editors haze determined
fo enlarge its usefulness and the area Of its
circulation, by appropriating. in future, a
considerable portion Of It's columns to the
Tsabjccts of tatcrDal Improvement, and to
the developement of the mighty resources
of Vrginia-her exhaustless minerals, her
commercial and manufacturing capacities,
her agricultural wealth.
The marvel is, that no other paper has
hitherto proposed to become the organ for
the promotion Of these important interests,
and we fatter ourselves, that the attention
they are now attracting from all classes in
Virginia. and the central position Of the
eFINDfCATrOR, assuring, as it WILL its
impartial advocacy Of them all, in whatever
locality situated, will make it welcome
and favored pioneer to other and more eff
cient a9Eoeates Of shcse great interests,

We will make it our duty to procure able
