b hrfn

WASHINGTON, Oct. lin Alexan-
dria, Va, recently. a fowling piece was
taken by Justice of Peace from color
ed man, on the ground that the statutes
of Virginia rendered such possession by
a negro illegal. Provost Judge Ham
brick addressed letter to the Mayor of
Alexandria, saying "In all such cases,
or In similar ones, which may come up
hereafter, the colored people will be pro-
tected by me in any infringement upon a
right guaranteed to white citizens. Here
after no colored man will be arrested
when found with fowling piece in his
possession, nor will he be liable to arrest,
as l understand he now is, if found in the
streets after ten o'clock. [ will further
state that this plan will be strictly ad-
hered to. The colored man must be re-
garded, SO far as the right of property
and freedom of person is concerned, pre-
cisely on the same footing with the white
citizen, no more. no less.''

NATIONAL REPC LICAN

wAsHIxGros, ID. c.. July l, 1861.
The undersigned commenced, in the month Of
December last, the publication. in this city, Of .
weekly uewspsper, called the National Republican,
II is printed ON large sheet, twenty-seven by
two inches and is furnished at the low prices
stated below
1t will contain all the original matter Of the
daily .vahoaai Republicans, with the exception Of
local news no, intereting to country subscribers.
1t will give full reports of the proceedings Of
Congress, and Of the other departments Of the Ma
tional Government.
It will contain all the news oftne day, foreign
and domestic, markets, &C., &C., as well rs an
original correspondence from all parts Of the
country. The miscellaneous department will re-
ceive special attention, and, in all respects the
effort will be made to establish the character OF
the National Republican as Family Newspaper.
Washington being now the central point of the
current military operations great attention will be
paid to furnishing the readers of the National
Republican with full and especially with accurate,
accounts of the progress ofthe war for the Union.
In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus-
tanning the Administration of Mr.. Lincoln, but dis
claiming, however, any prctension to be the orga
of the President. -
There is no other Republican paper in the Dis.
trict of Columbia, in the vicinity Of it, and it is
believed that recent events have opened to such q
paper important sphere of useful effort. The
time has come, when the actual administration of
the Government upon Republican principles will
explode the Misrepresentation which have made
those principles 50 dstasteful to the South.
the projectors of the National Republican hope to
make it useful. To the whole country they offer .
journal which will discuss national politics from
national standpoint, and which will never be
swerved from patriotic duty by any overpowering
pressure Of local interest. -.f,.. . -...,.s.. !
