State Gazette & Republican
PROSPECTUS FOR 1861.

The 69th Volume of this Journal will com
mence on the lst day of January next For
the past several months owing to the Presden-
tial contest being b ,fore the country we have
been obliged to devote large portion of our
r, aiding columns to Political subjects but as
the contest is now ended, we shall be enabled
hencetorth to devote much more, indeed, nearly
all cur columns to matters of tless intense but
more abiding interest +" Among these wo may
mention =
1 STATE NEws-To collect and collate,
whatever of interest may occur in any part of
New Jersey, has long been leading character
istic of this Journal. Though we make it a
point to give synopsis of Foreign News, and
such incidents, accidents, ETC., as may occur in
other States of the Union, yet these always have
held and will continue to hold o secondary
Importance in this Journal believing as we do,
that the great majority Of Jerseyman are more
interested in the details of what is going on
about them, than in Foreign matters. While,
then, the readers of the State Gazette and Re
publican will be kept promptly advised of what
is Transporting in other States, and in Eu-
ropean countries, still this species of news viii
be so condensed as to leave large share of
space to local and State items Located as we
are, at this the Capital of the State, our facili
ties for obtaining State news are such that
nothing of Importance can transpire in any
County or Township in the State, but what
will speedily find its way into our columns.
II. LEGISLATURE, AND STATE COURTS The
State Gazette and Republican viii continue to
give full reports of whatever transpires in the
Legislature. and State Courts of this State or
weatever of interest may occur in either of the
State offices, or either of the State Institutions
including the Lunatic Asylum, State Prison,
and State Normal Scho Il. In matters of this
kind, every Jerseyman is presumed to be speci-
ally interested,
III. AGRIcULTURAL-Ap portion of our col
umns have been and will continue to be doyo-
ted to Agriculture We are in receipt of several
of the very best Agricultural Journals of the
country, from which we select weekly, such
matters as we think will most interest our rea-
ders To these are added original communica
tions and observations on the same subject
comparison will show that we publish each
month more agricultural information than is
contained in many of the MONTHLY periodicals
qehOkky devoted to that subject. Hence the
subscribers to this journal need not be to the
additional expense ofsubseribing for an Agri-
cultural paper in order to obtain information
on this important subject.
". EDUCATIONAL SUBJECTS have received,
and will continue to receive due attention in the
columns of this Journal. We have made ar
range ments for series of articles of this char
acter from the pen of one of the ablest and
most experienced Educators of the State, which
will appear in due time, aud in which our rea-
ders will, doubtless, be deeply interested.
Y. LITERARY and MISCELLANEOUS subjects
will continue to receive due attention An oc-
casional good story, choice poetry, and items
over which to laugh and grow fat, will be
inserted from day to day, and from week to
week as circumstances justify.
VI. MARKETs.-New York, Philadelphia,
Stock, Grain, and Produce of all kinds, will be
carefully corrected and published each week
We would also call special attention to the
large amount of reading matter contained in
each issue of the Weekly-generally from IS to
20 columns.
