campaign is now upon us, and is des-
tined to prove the most exciting and in
teresting one that we have had for many
years. We are determined to furnish
our readers with the fullest and freshest
information from all quarters of the
Union, as the campaign progresses, and
to this end will increase the number of
our news columns, so that the PHOENIX
will contain for the campaign more read
ing matter than any daily paper at the
capital, and as much as either of our
Charleston contemporaries. To the citi-
zens of the upper Counties of the State,
the PHOENIX, as furnishing news twenty
four hours ahead OF the Charleston news
papers, particularly addresses itself. ali

know the correct stains of the campaign
as each new development is made, send
in Your subscriptions to the PHOENIX,
either daily or tri.weekly. We promise
you lively, readable and reliable paper.
