NEW VOLUME.

tors of newspapers to indulge in some re-
marks about the past and make copi0us
promises for the future. We have neither
The space or inclination to follow the ex-
amples SO often set US by brethren of the
profession. For these reasons we shall
leave it to the generous patrons Of ours to
say how well the NEVADA Journal has
filled the measure of their expectan-
ey. We shall point to eui we'll filed
advertising columns as proof that
our paper has the appreciation and conf
denee of the business community. And as
:or our future course, We will merely say,
that we shall support the Administration
of Abraham Lincoln in all its efforts to
preserve the Union and defend the national
flag. To the last extremity we are for exc
cutingthe laws come what may. We see
the generous ouibursrs of patriotism in all
the loyal States OF the Union. Party lines
are entirely obliterated, and all men are
melted in tenderness into one homos enc
Gus mass of patriots, ready to stake all in
support of the country of their affections.
This same generous and noble feeling we
shall labor to promote in the community
in which we live.
The nation is passing through a trial
such as it has never seen, such as we trust.
it may never again be called to endure and
such as rarely if ever the world has ever
witnessed. We are fast reaching chapter
of bloody battles that will rank side by
side with Waterloo and Solferiro. The
records OF TIE year to come vi be full of
victories and defeats, it will be our duty as
journalists to publish. If we mistake not,
the present volume OF the JOURNAL will
record more stirring events than rarely
falls to the lot of pubicists in the course
of centuries to give the world.
