The Cincinnati Weekly Press
Having passed into new hands, its present
conductors have determined to reduce its
subscription price to such rate, to club
that the poorest person in the land need no
be without q paper.
The PRESS shall not be surpassed by any
Weekly Journal in the West either in its
News or Literary Department. We are
determined that it shall be faithful epitome
of the current events of the day, and that
what is not found in its columns will scarce
be worth looking for. Of course, we do not
expect to give elaborate articles on each
event of the day, but the reader may look
for succint and intelligent account of every
transpiring event.
Particular attention will be given to a
faithful record of the absorbing topic of
the day,

participator against the dying struggles Of

able chattles. A part of the camp was

belonged to . Mr.. Taylor. He made bis
escaps last December. On hearing his
praises spoken BY the captain Of the gun
boAts on the Potomac, I was rather in
disposed 70 admit the possession Of MI the
qualities they give him credit for, and
thought posaibly his exploits had been
exnggsrassd. His heroic courage, truth

Capt. Magaw, shortly after Jim's arrival
on hoArd the Fresborn, sent him upon a
scouting tour through the rehsl forti6ca-I

fraught with great danger, was executed
in the most faithful manner. Again jim
