Now that The R1cuUoSD WING has been re-
stored to its original proportions--its size anal
form being what they were before the war
We desire to address a few words TO our FRIENDS
and patrons. We have been, for so many bong
wears, communing with the people OF Virginia
through these columns, thar we feel as though
all of them were intimate personal friends and
associates and il affords Us, at all times a >iu-
cero and unaffected pleasure 10 talk with them,
as it were, face 10 face. And We can safely and
proudly ro-aSsert, what We have often affirmed
before that no journal in this broad land wa, ever
sustained and encouraged by the fidelity and zeal
of nobler or more generous set of patrons
than TuE RICuNoND WIG. Nor has any other
ever been supported by larger per centum OF
the moral and intellectual worth Of the coun-
try.
Recent hatterins Indications O; good viii
and substantial encouragement in its behalf,
as manifested in all portions and divisions ct
the State, proclaim Enthusiastically the fact that
The WING has just entered upon new and
unparalleled career Of prosperity. Never, Nc
repeat, al any period Of is history during the
last forty years, have its subscriptions and its
business so rapidly increased, as within the
last few months.
Our subscription list hotnre the war though
larger by far than any political paper pub
lished in Richmond, and larger perhaps than
any published in the Southern States, with the
single exception Of the Louisville Joooal, has
been greatly surpassed in these latter day,
until It's circulation now exceed, that which
II enjoyed before and during the war hy az
least one-third, and perhass more. Besides,
il penotrates now into almost every nook and
corner Of the Commonwealth where mail routes
and post-Olllce5 have been re-estahliShcd aud
such are our present arrangements
for extending its circulation, that We
have no particle OF doubt OF its finding
its way wh0rover and Is fast as the mails are
re-instStod. And not oliy in Virginia, but
in North Carolina and Tennessee, in each @.
which states it has already large circulation,
which is constantly and rapidly Increasing. H.
deed, we expect, in the course OF a few months
just as soon as the mails are fully rc-opencd
that the WING Will Opjoy circulation n
those two states almost equal t. Inat which IL
has in Virginia. We have received large ac-
cessions 10 our list within a short time past,
from both Of those states, and the prospect was
never more encouraging Tor continued and
rapid increase throughout their limit,. Aud
from nearly all the Southern stetes-cvcn iron,
remote Louisiana and IoXas-We are daily iu /
the receipt Of orders for TIA WHIg, which |
shows eonclusivelv enough tlat tbs is ne jour
nal at Richmond, which the people throughout
the South most seek after, and which is 10 be- |
como, incontestably, tho leading Journal south !
Of tho Potomac, in point OF circulation and in- |
auencs.
In view OF tho fsc;s thus submitted it fol- |
lows logically and necessarily that IEE WHO |
is tho very best medium in this Commonwealth !
and in tho South for advertising. Ii the mcr-
chants and business men Of Richmond, Ior cN-
ample, wish TO so Slvertize as TO reach tAe
largest number of purchasers, it is clearly ,c
their interest To select TuE WING for that pur-
pose. This journal, 50 TAR, enjoys nearly a mo-
nopoly in the way oil circulation az tle country
our circulation in the towns, villages and rural
districts OF Virginia, Tennessee and North
Carolina being infinitely greater than it ever was
before aud being very lar ahoGd We believe,
OF all our worthy and respected contemporaries
combined. And such being the case, it IS as
manifest as tho sun in the Heavens, that city
advertisers, il they wish to establish thriving
and prosperous business and to make the pee
pie everywhere familiar with their n1iues and
the character OF their business, should select
The WHO as their medium OF communication
with the public.
In conclusion, We have only to say that other
and numerous Improvements are IN process, 90
execution, which cannot tail L. make TuE
WHIa among the foremost Journals in the
United States. And as Congress and the Leg
islature will soon assemble, and as We have
made ample arrangements for correct and iuiI
reports OF their proceedings, as well a. tor OLE
flaming the latest and freshest news and thc
most authentic intelligence in regard To- an
matters of public concern, Iio present as az,
appropriate time for persons, Wh" have not yet
subscribed, to send Us their name, aud od-
dress, if they wish to form any just sud clear
conception OF the progress and determination
Of those mighty and interesting political
events, which nov so largely cuggy'f the pub
lie mind Of the whole country.
