A NEW SUNDAY PAPER.

TNHE undersigned will commmeuce the pub
l. lication of new weekly paper on Sunday,
the 3lst of March, in the city of Washington, D.
o., to be called the
"SUNDAY MORNING CHRONICLE"
The Chronicle will be entirely independent of
party politics, although strongly devoted to the
Union Of these States. Our object will be TO
furnish the reading public such q newspaper as,
while filling up the vacuum created by the alb
sencO Of a medium Of news on the first day of
the week, will contain nothing inconsistent with
the Sabbath, and nothing calculated to wound
the sensibilities of those who entertain q just
prejudice against the reckless and indecent char
acter of some Of the Sunday papers of the great
cities. Washington, with reading population
OF more than sixty thousand, and at many sea-
sons of the year crowded with strangers from
different parts of the country, is probably one Of
the most interesting fields for the commencement
Of such an enterprise as ours. 1t is at this mo-
ment the market for the sale of large numbers Of
periodicals and serials printed elsewhere, and we
entertain an undoubting hope that If the pages
of the Chronicle are well filed with instructive
| agreeable and eleva ed reading, as well as with
the latest general and local Intelligence, SO i'm
portant at all times, and so much sought after
now its editorial columns presided over with
dignity and ability, and devoted to the discus
sion of every quest'on-domestic, social polti-
| CAL scientific, and literary-it will be welcomed
with hearty reception, and achieve q perma-
nent success. To this end we have made ar
rangements with the best journalists 10 contribute
to our columns. Commun cations have already
been received from number of distinguished
writer's, North and South, whose names will be
duly announced in the first number of the Chron-
le. We have also engaged the best talent for
the collection of news Up to IL o'clock on Sstur-
day night, including the action Of the various
Departments, the current events of the city and
District, telegraphic dispatches from all parts o
the Union, etc.
The Chronicle will be served to subscribers a
one dollar and fifty cents per annum, payable II
advance. JAMES B. SHERIDAN Il co.
