STA, supposed to have been intro
duced into the Yolga country by
soldiers returning from the seat of
war in Asia, and which has been
spreading and assuming an alarms
ing virulency, is exciting serious
thought throughout Europe and is
attracting attention from the press
and people, generally, in the United
States.
The dreadful accounts of the raw
ages of plaques, read of in ancient
and modern histories could not fail
to cause fear and apprehension at a
threatened invasion even in these
days of sanitary efforts and sue
cesses. Owing to the facilities for
rapid and easy travelling, and the
habitual tendency of people to
travel and emigrate, the Gordon san
itaire has become more and more
difficult and will no doubt become
still less effective, as the intricate
wool of commerce and human in
tercourse grows the more complex
and complicated. The large emf
grafton from Europe expected this
year and already setting in, leads
some to predict possible danger of
the transportation of the plague to
the shores of America. We, how
ever, have too much confidence in
the efficacy of applied sanitary
science and its late appreciation by
civilized governments to antici~
pate the diseases appearance
and continuance unchecked
as in ancient times for
nothing is better established
than that all epidemics are not for
tuitous, and that our safety depends
upon our recognition of the natural
forces and our disposition and abili-
ty to control them, with the help of
God, to our own good, than it does
in our long searching after miracu-
lous agencies.
Since the dawn of civilization,
with its benign influences, aided by
the growth and maturity of scien-
tifc knowledge, marked changes
have been effected in the habits, Gus
toms and character of the human
race, and no such horrible, wide
spread pestilences as of old need be
expected.
A few instances will aid in forms
ing an idea of these changes. tits

The DAILY CHRONICLE, and

will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
By enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants OF our
readers, we hope to merit contln--

heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in

the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
Journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeaYor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS a newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis

our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>

Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire

We call upon all persons inter

assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and

In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLo
