The facilities afforded US TO produce tho

q corps OF able REPORTERS, whose duty il "a
bunals.
4th. Washington being the Headquarters for
all the operations OF the Army and Navy Of
the United States, by virtue Of the relations e1-
listing between the Government and the Ma
TIosAL REPUBLICAN, referred TO above, nothing
that lie proper to publish, Of Military and Naval
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
9Th. Our Foreign Relations" now more
important than ever, will be the subject Of our
constant and paternal care.
9th. The Finances of the Government, which
always affords an ample field for the Journalist,
shall meet with the most careful attention OF
the undersigned. Some Of the ablest writers
in the United States are frequently employed TO
discuss the subject In the REPUBLICAN.
It'll. Our Postal arrangements, so important
TO the people Of every community, be II large
| or small, especially 10 those who can read and

which they are subject during the year.
sth. The great interests represented by the

PUBLICAN in come manner.

sentstiyes OF every foreign nation on the earth

aided by our active attaches.
Above, in a general form, we have given
| ttoeIve reasons why the NATIONAL RIPupI,fcAs
published In the City Of Washington, possesses
greater facilities for obtaining all the import
ant news Of the day, OF every description, than
any other Journal In the United States. The
highest evidence Of this, which relieves Va from
the charge OF ogOtism, 10 the fact witnessed all
over tho nation daily (by those who care to OBJ
seINe ~ lhAI lue lchulnB, widest circulated,
and most influential journals in the United
States gather the most important Departmental
news, especially of our military and naval
operations, Official and otherwise, from the
columns of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. This
is true in fact of the well known fact that
many of the prOprlGtOrs of those Journals pay
enormous sums of money yearly TO "Asso.
ciaied Press" and especial Correspondents,
so called, to furnish them with the current
news of the day. We regret to say, in tlit
connection, that those correspondents do moi
always inform their employers that they art
not the authors of many of tho most important
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex
pense of fOir cents per i0Ord, by crediting them
TO the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In Jus.
| tice should do. We especially tl.ink they
should credit US when they encroach so far as
to telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
their OtVTt compositions. However, we beg par.
don for this complaining depression, and viii
not deny that we observe, in all this unfaj +
ness, a compliment to our industry on the art
of these plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will SUP, ort A.
earnestly as possible the civil and military
policy of the present AdministrB,lo lon, while
that policy is for FREEDOM In it, broadcast and
