Five months since the first number was issued,
and the genuine favor with which it was received
gave ample encouragement for continuing the
enterprise. But scarcely had the second issue
passed into the hands of its readers, when radi-
cal and important changes occurred in the mil
itary government. All the resources of the
were needed by Gen. Hunter in the organiAa
ton of the forces of his command. OF course
private interests were cheerfuly made seconda-
~ to the military emergency, and the publica-
pended Not many days afterwards, Mr.. Ba-
deau, the editor, was unexpectedly called to
another field of usefulness; and the proprietor,
having more urgent CLAIMS upon his attention,
could not conveniently carry on the publication
until the present time. Now, with an excellent
new press and enlarged printing facilities, he
resumes the enterprise, confident that its pros
porous career will not be again interrupted.
The platform of The New SOUTH will not be

In part civilS il is possible that portion may
be found at the North, it is not impossible that
we may occasionally reach the ear of SouthemerS,
debarred now for more than year from learning
what the sentiments ard intentions and power Of
the nation really are.
In acting as spokesman beth to and for this va
red population we shall have several aims in view;
first of all to support, as far as able, the ma
tional government. In order to do this more eff
fectuay we shall abstain from the discussion of
exciting political topics, believing that the busl-
ness of our most immediate readers Is now militia
ry not political and that it is the province Of the
true patriot at this uncture, TO do nothing to di-
vide the national forces to distract their ener-
gies from the one great object of us all, the sup
preston OF the Rebellion. Here is a common
TO plant ourselves. 1t shall be our endeavor to
strengthen the hands OF the government and those
who represent it, to ncite the courage and tortity
the endurance OF its defenders, not to SOW the
seeds Of discord among those who are themselves
battling against the results of discord. Next We
desire to furnish news of interest and Importance
to our readers for the life and basis of newspa-
per are its reliability in this regard. Information
concerning public matters at the North, the move
mentS of the national armies and affairs abroad,
will be presented, in condensed form, ii is true,
but still we trust a correct view of all important
affairs will be afforded. The doings within this
military command will of course receive due
share of attention. None of the posts occupied
by our forces will be neglected, and proceedings
of every nature fit for publication will be chroni-
cled but our loyal readers will not complain
if we withhold any thing that could by any chance
prove of service to the enemy. The news of the
feet, however, the daily life in camp, the health
of the command, and a thousand other details will
