TWTNTY-FoURTH VOLUME
% THE
MILWAUKEE SENTINEL.
Published Daily, Tri-weelly, Weekly.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1862.

The 1st of January will commence new
volume of the SENTINEL. The past year has
been one of severe trial to newspapers;-while
the demand for news has increased the means
of support. or at least, the sources of profit,
have been materially dim nshed. The pro-
prietors of the SENTINEL take pleasure in ac-
knowlede n g that their efforts to keep pace
with events in these stirring times have not
been uuapprpciatcd and the SENTINEL in its
continued tndeayors to present its countless
readers with the earliest news, and its un-
swervng advocacy of the Union and Consti-
tuition have been acknowledged and sustained
In liberal manner.
In making preparations for the new volume,
we shall enlarge our facilities for obtaining
important war news, and continue, as hereto
fore. to make the Daily. Tri-N eekfy, and
Weekly epitomes of the times.
The eagerncss of the public to obtain the
latest information from the seat of war, and
the anxiety of the many thousands, who have
relations and friends in the Union army, to
hear fron the different regiments, have Undue
ed us to make arrangements for ample cores
pondence from all the different points at
Which troops from the west may be stationed.
The SENTINEL, as heretofore. it is hardly
necessary to say. viii be the firm supporter of
Republican principles, the fearles opponent
of local and national wrong, and the medium
of expression for the Mechanic, the Agricul-
turist, and the Merchant.

North Carolina that he could expj ct, and
hereafter no more troops would be per-
mitted to leave the state, and he has or
dered all the North Carolina State troops
