PROSPECTUS OF
THE NEW YORK LEDGER.

We intend to make the NEW YORK LEDGER for
1861 superior to that 1850 any other year
the past. Among our contributors will be the PRE-
slDENr OF TIE UNIFIED MILD SITES Edward Everett
Sake, George p. Morris. p. Willis George d. Prem
lice, Thomas Dunn English, Sylvanus Cobb Jr.,
Emers on Bennett, r. S. Arthur. 2. Hamilton Myers
Col liter B. Danlap, S. Compton Smith, John ESten

Iiarland. Miss T.. A. D"puy, Mary Stanley Gibson,
phebe Cary and many Clprgymen, Professors in col
Ieges Statesmen and other eminent writers residing
in different parts OF the Union.
Our CORPS OF contributors for the coming year will
lie 20 large and will embrace such variety Of emf
nent talent, that every department of literature will
receive the particular attention of some compe-
tent to do il ample and special justice. Whether II
be popular romance, scientific essay historical skel ch.
scholastic dsquion, spicy paragraph pathetic bal
lad, humorous poem, odashioned love story, timely
editorial, or any other ingrcdiment of popular and
elevated journalism, that is to be furnished, the
LEDG Err corps will be sufficient for the task. In fact,
our contributors will send from week week much
more matter than We can possibly use, so that We
shall always have fresh and superintendent supply,
from which select the very best. These facts taken
in connection with our largely increased means, faci-
ing our readers family paper for the year SCI which
will be more interesting and instructive, and in every
respect more valuable, even than the LEDGER has
been in the past. -
As an Indication Of the popularity OF the LEDGER
we need only state the simple fact that s circulation
is larger than that OF other TEN literary papers in
that we secure the best writer's in tbs country and
spare no expense in getting up the Bssr FAMILY
PAPER-a paper Of high moral tone. The exalted
putaion OF It's contributors, the practical ard in
varably pure and healthy character of all its articles
the care which is taken that not offensive
word shall appear in its columns and the supenoity of
i,s Tale and Sketches have gained for the NEWYOK
LEDGER a position that no literary paper has
before reached.
ANNA Cora RITcHIE Of Richmond Va, and Col
WALTER Is. DUNLAP, the author of the popular
.sForest Sketches which were published in our col
LEDGER early in the new year. Mrs Southworth is
