else just now. Captain Vail has, at an enormous
sacrifice Of noney, time and influence, procured
the services of the above named and well known
convict, editor, assisted by the best talent to be
found outside the ship. Capt. v. does not hold
himself responsible for what does or does not ap-
pear in this paper, whether POLITICAL religious,
suicidal or intOx eating. and will pay no debts of
It's contracting after this date. The paper will
stand on its own merits, if it can borrow any to
stand on, and will be published Free gratis for
nothing, for the benefit of those who can read. Ii
will be independent in tone, but will not atone for
anything ii says. II may as well be understood
that no internal revenue can be collected from
this paper without double barrel shotgun or a
rifed cannon, as we don't intend to be rihed by
any body. The paper will be issued when it is
ready, unless the writers sea-sck, intoxicated
or gone fishing.
