nROs r E CTUS OF THE WEEKLY
L NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.

The undersigned commenced, in the month of
December last, the publication, in this city, of
aweekly newspaper, called the National Rsptlb.
icdn.
It is printed on large sheet, twenty seven
by forty.two inches, and is furnished at the low
prices stated below.
1t will contain all the original matter of the
daily National Republican, with the exception
of local news not interesting TO country sub.
scribers.
1t will give full reports of the proceedings of
Congress, and of the other departments Of the
National Government.
1t will contain all the news of the day, foreign
and domestic, markets, &o., &C., rs well as an
original correspondence from all paris of the
country. The miscellaneous department will
receive special attention, and, in all respects,
the effort will be made to establish the chsrac.
ter of the National Republican as a Family
Washington being now the central point of
the current military operations, great attention
will be paid to furnishing the readers Of the
National Republican with full, and especially
with accurd!e, accounts of the progress of the
In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus.
tanning the Administration of Mr.. Lincoln, but
disclaiming, however, any pretension to be the
organ of the President.
The is no other Republican paper in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, or in the vicinity of it, and
it is believed that recent events have opened to
such n paper an important sphere of useful
effort The time has come, when the actual
administration of the Government upon Repub
lcan principles will explode the misrepresen-
tations which have made those principles so
dstasteful to the South.
But 1t is not only here, and in this vicinity,
that the projectors of the National Republican
hope to make 1t useful. To the whole country
they offer a journal which will discuss national
politics from u national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by
any overpowering pressure of local interest,

For tha Leader.

TIE PoOR.-We remember in great mercy
the bond-woman; we pray for the sheathing
Of the sword, and for the salvation Of the
Union; but are We not, meantime, over
looking a class in our midst who have claims
upon our hearts and hands-a class that
neither North or South, Church or State
especially care for-the poor know that
our city has, and is still, doing something to
ameliorate the condition of q portion of the
destitute, and that charitable societies are
not forgstful of the sufferer. But there are
among US, those who are looking famine in
the face and striving single-handed to elude
its grasp. A mothers love will move her to
battle long and braYely with cold and hum
ger before sending her darlings to the poor
house, and cOmmendable pride revolts at
the thought of seeing the delegates of char
table societies peering into closet and pantry
to learn Of needed and needless things
There are in this city men, not few, who
are out of employment. Their last dinner
has gone; all their valuable articles are in
the hands of the pawn-broker. The land
lords are calling for rent, and the children
for food and FIRE. Wood and provision deal
ers refuse credit where the payment pros
pect is nearly hopeless.
But there is, if possible, class still poorer
women who work-when they can find
wOrk-for from ten to Atty cents per day
With this small sum they must furnish food,
shelter, clothing and fuel for their fatherless
or deserted children. Many of these women
have never asked charity-they simply ask
justice. Give them work and righteous
recompense therefor-it is all they ask. But
so long as women are compelled to toll from
ten to fifteen hours for from ten to fifty cents,
so long there will be thefts, destitution and
depravity among US.
We regret that children are starving, and
that fallen women patrol our streets at nignt.
Who is in faultP Those who withhold from
woman an equivalent for her labor-those
who are housed and fed without looking after
the needy at their doors. Those are in fault,
who are clothed at the expense of the half
starved laborer.
But wished simply to suggest to the citi-
zens of Cleveland-to the wealthy women
more especially--that each constitute her
self, or himself, Yigilant Committee whose
business it shall be to look after the poor-to
supply their wants. Old garments, cast off
boots and shoes would be thankfully received
by those who have not the heart to make
known their needs. Food and wood might
be sent, in the blessed name of the Master,
to those who need, but never ask charity.
If 1.-THE of the sympathies of life was
given to the deserving poOr--if the l0Orking
l0oHen were remunerated for their labor
want and wretehedness would no longer
meet US reproachfully at the street corners;
children would not, as now, go s4pperless to
bed, the bare footprints upon the snowy
pavements would no longer whisper, "Inas-
much as ye have neglected those little
ones ye have neglected me and my teach
ings." H. F. NJ. B.

CAPT. SAM. WEITING. = The gentleman
whose name precedes this item is one of
those true-hearted sailors of whom, in times
like these, we cannot be too proud Com
manding the steamship Marion, between the
ports of NewYork and Charleston he incurred
the Cnmity of the traitors by saluting the U. S.
flag on Fort Sumter, and when they under
took to make him hoist the sign of the rattle
snake State, he politely told them he would
resign first, he had always sailed under the
Aag of the Union, and he expected to die
under it. They wanted him to sail his ship
as a practical cruiser in search of the Star of
the West to capture or sink her; but he told
them plainly what he thought of such
proceeding, and found it advisable to come
North again, Vigilance Committee having
resolved to treat him to the compliment
tary attractions bestowed upon all who
choose to differ from the madmen wko at
present control that State. He is now
at home, among his friends, being just at
present without command. Having some
years sailed in the Hartstene Expedition to
the Arctic regions in search of DR.. Kane, his
former commander-Hartsten by the way,
being now secessionist himself-his friends
in New York have requested him to deliver
lecture upon his experience N the frozen
zone, which he had some time ago prepared.
We subjoin the correspondence:
