PROSpECTITS

The Military and Naval successes of 1854. with
the auspiciou us result of Presidential contest
have lifted heavy weight from the breasts of
the Loyal Millions of our countrymen 1t is
felt, even by those who have been distrustfUl and

so wckedly precipitated by her assailants and
that Slavery her relentless foe, is to ter the
fate of Haman. The peri!s of foreign interven-

Notes only be exchanged for coin at the rate
of twenty-five for one, while its bonds command
but six cents on the dollar-but awaits the blow

of the depreciation of our Currency below the

the full amount received from our subscribers
On our Weekly edition, the net loss has amounted

receipts from Advertising have been wholly alb

by the War. As we do not suppose our patrons
desire that should work at our own cost, and
