AN INDEPENDENT
Daily & Weekly NEWSPAPER
f foR
National Circulation and Family Reading.

THE WORLD has now been in existence for a
/ little more than year. 1t has attained, in
that short period, to the highest rank in American
journalism-to a perfectly secure financial basis,
and to a circulation, patronage, and influence
which has only been equaed by other Journals
after the labors of many years.
For the coming year no labor or expense VIII DC
spared to make Tile World what it aims to be-the
BEET NEWSPAPER IN AMERICA.
In PoLIr1cs The World is INDEPENDENT, but
NEVER NEUTRAL. 1t will never lend itself to party
service but will help the good and expose the bad
of all parties. A pure morality and q steadfast
adherence to
CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLE AND CHRISTIAN
TRUTHS
will guard its columns and guide its judgment of
men and of events. 1t is the organ of no man.
and no set of men. 1t is NATIONAL always on the
side Of
THE UNION, THE CONSTITUTION, AND THE
LAWS.
In the future, as it has in the past, it will give
to the Administration hearty and vigorous sup
port, because in the war for the Union, twenty
millions of people have confded TO its hands their
battles for Liberal Institutions, Good Government.
Nationality, and Freedom.
The World will oppose all compromises which
would barter away the principles for which this
war is waged; il will oppose peace itself till the
success of the assures the pernsanece of peace
and will urge the prosecution of the war, NTH
economy but Nth relentless vigor, till federal
property is recovered, and federal authority is re-
established from the Chesapeak to the Rio Grande
Our correspondents attached to the various
divisions of the army, will accompany them where
ever they go, and, by free use of the telegraph
and the mails present in the columns of The World
A COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WAR,
from day to day and from month to month.
In the Weekly and Semi Weekly editions of
The World, especially, large space will be given to
AGRICULTURE,
and to all the departments of
MANUFACTURING AND MECHANICAL
INDUSTRY
To our Foreign Correspondence of course less
space will be given in the coming year, but the
latest and most important news from London, Paris,
Turin, Rome Syria, China California. Japan
Egypt and south America, our correspondents
will promptly and briefly send us.
ALL THE NEWS
will be found in the columns of The World, in
every department of human activity
POLITICAL, AGRICULTURAL, AND
COMMERCIAL,
as well as in LITERATURE, SCIENCE AND ART.
We shall continue the publication of our Ec-
clesiastical Record, and give to Religious and
Educational Topics and News and to all New
Publications, Inventions, Discoveries, and Works
of Art, the same careful and thorough sympathy
and attention.

The Times of the 3Oth ult., makes
the important announcement that the
Cabinet came to the conclusion that
the act of Captain Wilkes is clear
violation of the law of nations, and
one for which reparationmust be de-
manded. Should this just demand not
be complied with we cannot doubt
Lord Lyons will be Withdrawn from
Washington.
The Times also says it was the de-
liberate purpose of the American Gov
eminent to seize the Commissioners, and
it is understood that Gen. Scott, since
his arrival in Paris, declared that their
seizure had been the subject of Cabinet
discussion in Washington before he
left. fe .fff go,
The Shipping Gazette believes if the
demand is not complied with decla.
ration of war by England is inevitable.
There is no confirmation of the re.
port that 10000 troops will be sent to
Canada.
French journals universally look at
the Trent affair with English eyes.
The news caused an immense sensation
at Paris, and the first general impress.
sion ives that ample reparation must be
made to prevent collision.
Communications took place between
the Governments of England and
France, and a good understanding on
the subject is believed to exist.
The Paris Pdtrie asserts that we had
no right to take the Commissioners
while on British mail steamer, and
gives report that Admiral Milne forth

escort mail steamers between St
Thomas and Havana, for the protec.
