10 the People Of The South!
The OLD "EXAM|NEn" EEVIVED!!!

revive, at an early Gay, the OLD h1Chnl0n0
E1ominer, of which the late John H. Dan
iel was editor-in chief, and the undersigned
his constant associate for the entire period of
the war.
1t is believed that thepublick will recognize
an appropriate and practical idea in this en-
terprise. Efforts to revive other papers in
the South are announced, and it is certainly
neither visionary nor unworthy endeavor
for the literary associates Of a gallant spirit
that now sleeps in the grave to essay honour
to his memory and service to the publick by
reviving the old Eaominer newspaper, so
long the ornament of Southern letters, an ex-
ample at once of the scholarship and chivalry
Of Virginia; and perhaps the only school in
the South of pure and classic English distinct
from the models and redee ned from the in
novations Of Northern instructors.
The fame Of the old Richmond Examiner
reached to the most distant parts of the world
The paper was well known in Europe It
was pronounced by distinguished Northern
politician ''the best exponent of the civiliza-
ton of the South" 1t was school of liter
airy scholarship for the youth Of the South );
the class of Southern chivalry; an example
of Independence, of courage, of iron spirit in
newspaper literature, which it's chief illustra-
ted in his own noble and severe life, and de-
Tended more than once on the field of honor,
where the undersigned stood with him in the
vindication of the freedom of the press.
Surely there are many people in the South
who will unite in an effort to revive news
paper which was an ornament to it's literature
and a school for it's virtues The task is an
ambitious one. But the undersigned attempts
it in no mean or tagging spirit He has al
ready undertaken to marshal corps of the
old writer's for the Eurmincr; he will be
able to reproduce its typographical features,
and present to Southern readers a fac simale
of their old acquaintance and he fervently
trusts and resolutely pledges every resource
of intellect and will to breathe again in this
form of material resurrection the same spirit
unhesitatine encounter with abuse that ami
mated it of old.
No pains OF expense will be spared to make
the E:canstner the newspaper of the South.
For every department Of it the services of
the most accomplished and active writer's will
be secured. Special correspondents will be
posted in New York and Washington and
other important centres Of Intelligence in
the country. 4 former active editor Of the
old Examiner, Edward A. Pollard, will be
employed as correspondent from Europe, in
which country he proposes to write a Histo-
ry of the War, and to form familiar ac-
quaintance with the politics of Europe, espe-
cially in connection with American questions
and topics. This correspondence will consti-
tute special feature ofimtorest in our paper
it will enliven its columns from week to weel,
with the productions Of an animated pen
and it will afford our readers q singularly
good opportunity to make themselves &C
quainted with cotemporary Europe, and to
apprchend the growing interest ofou foreign
relations.
The undersigned was recently the editor of
the Richmond Times, but in consequence OF
a disagreement with the part proprietor Of
that paper, he has been forced to leave it and
appeal to the civil courts for his rights and
he now proposes to himself the uobler task of
reviying paper eudeared to the South by
many memories Of the past, and associated
with 50 much that is admirable in its heroick
and literary name in history. He calls upon
the old subscribers Of the Euanttner, from
Virginia to Texas, to rally TO its support, to
renew their subscriptions, and to assist in the
revival ofa paper which has existed for three
quarters Of century, and which has ever
been so,icitous to honour truth and virtue,
prompt to chastisc abuses, and ambitious to
defend and adorn the civilization and litcra-
ture Of the South.
