TIL b SU n
WEEKLY, SCIENTIFICALLY, AND DAILY.

THE WEEKLY sun is too widely known
to require an extended recommendation; but
the reasons which have already given it fifty
thousand subscribers, and which will, we
hope, give it many thousands more, are
as follows:
| 1t is q lirst-rate newspaper. All the news
of the day will be found in it, condensed
| when unimportant, at full length when of
moment, and always presented in clear,
Ineligible, and interesting manner.
| 1t is frst-rate family paper, full of en-
Pertaining and instructive reading of every
kind, but containing nothing that can offend
the most delicate and scrupulous taste.
1t is a lirst-rate story paper. The best
tales and romances of current literature are
carefully selected and legibly printed in its
pages.
1t is rst-rate agricultural paper. The
most fresh and instructive articles on agri-
cultural topics regularly appear in this
department.
1t is an independent political paper, be-
longing to no party and wearing no collar.
1t fights for principle, and for the election OF
the best men to office. 1t especially devOtes
its energies to the exposure of the great
corTuptiOns that now weaken and disgrace
our country, and threaten to undermine
| republican institutions altogether. 1t has
no fear Of knaves, and asks no favors from
| their supporters.
| 1t reports the fashions for the ladies' and
the markets for the men, especially the cattle
markets, to which it pays particular atten-
| ton.
Finally, il is the cheapest paper published.
One dollar year will secure it for any sub
scriber. 1t is not necessary to get up a club
| in order to have THE WEEKLY sun at
this rate. Any one who sends n single
dollar will get the paper for year.
TEE WEEKLY SUN.-Eight pages,
fifty six columns. Only SI.OO year. No
| discounts from this rate.
| THE SEMi-WEEkLY SUN.-Same
size as the Daily SIM. $500 a year. A
discount of ed per cent. to clubs of 10 or

Governor Pinchbaek entertained few
friends at dinner on Sunday last, among
whom were Congressman Elliott, Rainey,
Rapicr, Lynch, and Ransier.

The Georgia Minstrels performed in this
city on Monday evening last to a crowded
house. They are the best delineators Of
the phases of plantation life in the days
of slavery that travel. The excellent sing
ing of Pearson and Hicks as well as the
ability Of Grace, Kersands, Benson, Cox,
Devonear. and Little in their respective char
acters are an attraction in themselves we'll
worth seeing. Dave Porter, as dispenser
of justice, was success in a money point of
view, and showed, while he had poor idea
of justice, that he has large stock of ability
to make fun. On the whole, the Georgia
Minstrels' performances are of first-rate
character; but we would suggest the throw
ing out of the "Dutch' character and conine
the Minstrels to negro delineation alone.

THE POLITICAL DEPARTMENT.

Upon all questions involving the especial i'll
simple rule of equal justice for all men will gov.
ern the policy Of the New NATIONAL Era 1t will
demand the recognition OF no right for one
citizen which it will not freely accord to every
other. /! will oppose any attempt to confer
privileges upon class, that are withheld from
the humblest citizen in the land. 1t will demand
for every citizen equality before the law, and full
protection of person and property in every State
and Territory of the National Union.
The NEW NATIONAL ERA will take high ground
upon all public questions, and labor to inspire
an openness of purpose and encourage unity of
action, especially among the newly enranchised
people of the reconstructed States Remem.
bering the past history of the Republican party,
and recognizing what It has done for the colored
people of the nation, the New NATIONAL ERA
will give its hearty support to that party without
reserve. This pledge of fidelity to the Republi.
| can party is 6 iven under the conviction, and
with the assurance, that in the future, as in the
past, that party will be the steadfast and inaexibe
support of those principles of justice and liberty
which have now become part of the organic law
Of the land.
THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT..
By education the people of free Government,
such as ours is intended to be, are better quail.
fed to discharge their duties to the State, and
to one another. The nation will ever find its
surest safeguard in the intelligence of its voting
masses, and the journal which would promote
the highest good of government and people
must lend its energies and its power to the work
of educating that people. Especially is the
agency of the press needed by that portion of
the people, colorei and white, who either in
slavery or under the ban of its blighting in
huences, have been deprived of the opportunl-
ties enjoyed by their more favored brethren OF
the free States.
THE INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT..
| The industrial interests of the colored people
will claim and receive large share of our at.
| tention.
The New NATIONAL ERA will be made de-
sirable visitor for the family and the fireside,
and We earnestly appeal to our friends every.
where to aid us by their subscriptions and their
influence.

ERA will be $3.50 year for single subscriptions,
