our corps of contributors 70. the coming year will be large,
and will embrace such a variety Of eminent talent, that every
department OF literature will receive the particular attention
Of some one competent to do it ample and special justice
Whether it be popular romance scientific essay, historical
sketch, scholastic disquishion, spicy paragraph, pathetic
ballad, humorous poem, old-fashione1 love story, timely edi-
torial, OF any other ingredient of popular and elevated journ-
nlisn, that Is to be furnished, the LEDGER corps will he
sufficient for the task. In fact, our contributors will send us
from week to week much more matter than we can possibly
use so that we shall always have II fresh and superintendent
supply, from which to select THE VERY BEST. These facts,
taken In connection with our largely increased means, facii
lies, and experience, warrant us, we think, in promising our
readers a family paper for the year 1861 which will be more
interesting and instructive, and In every respect more valua-
BILE, 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 It's circulation is larger
than that OF any other TEN literary papers In the country.
Its great success Is owing to the fact that we secure the best
writer's in the country, and spare no expense in getting up
the hest FAMILY PAPER-a paper Of high moral tohe. The
exalted reputation Of its contributors, the practical aud in
vAriably pure and healthy character Of all its articles, the
care which is taken that not even one offensive Torl sLall APP
pear in Its columns, and the superiority Of its Tales and
Sketches, have gained for the NEW-YOHk LEDGER u POI
slion that no literary paper has ever before reached.
ANNA CORA RITcmE Of Richmond, Va, AMI Col. WALTER
