THE PUBLICATION OF THE NORTH
l'aroliua Presbyterian will be resumed in Fay
etteville, on Wednesday, the 2nd of January
next.
Confidently relying on the hearty support
which we have heretofore received, w’e shall
endeavor to render the paper more attractive
both in appearance and matter, than it has
ever b^n, sparing neither pains nor expense
in the accomplishment of this purpose.
With the passing away of old things, a new'
spirit of activity, energy and enterprise, has
been infused into every department of secular
thought and business. Why should not the
Church, also, partake of the progressive ad
vancement? Why should she, of ail the
agencies, brought to bear with such tremen-
duous force upon the civilization of the pres
ent time, be inefficient, laggard and almost
hopeless, in the w'orking out of her own des
tiny.?
To arouse the church to the importance and
necessity of w'ork; of unceasing, restless, tire
less energy in the service of her Master and
Head ; this shall be our first chiefest aim. In
this we need assistance. We are not alone,
sufficient fur these things. Our brethren must
help us in every way; by contributions from
their own stores of thought and study ; by
zealous co-operation in a common cause, for
the benefit of all; by extending our circulation
throughout all our borders, and thus giving
us the means and opportunity of performing
well the work to which w'e have consecrated
all that we have, and all we hope for on the
earth.

HEW LIFE, TALENT AXD ENERGY.
The Undersigned propose to jjublish, in the
village of Rutherfordton, a weekly Newspaper
to be called “The Rutherford fttar.’’
It is our desire to make The Star a wel
come visitor to all those who feel an interest
in the prosperity and welfar e of our country
as a whole, and the perpetuity of our institu
tions, as handed down to ns by our noble an-
cesty, a Federal Republican (government.
Our people have but lately emerged from a
gigantic civil war, waged by and between
Sections of a ones glorious Union, and more
desolating to our particular section, than any
thing that has ever happened on this contin
ent, and it is to be hoped, than ever will again.
While there is life there is hope, and not-
•withstanding the great changes wrought by
the late civil w'ar, we shall encourage the peo
ple to honesty, industry and economy, we
shall take special pains to keep them posted
with all beneficial improvements of the age,
so that they may once more enjoy bountiful
stores, prosperity and happiness.
We shall from time to time publish such
laws, both State and National, as our people
are directly concerned in, and shall likewise
use our influence to establish a sound circula
ting currency, so much needed at the present
time.
We shall be governed by principles and not
men, for according to our honest conviction,
the present condition of our country is owing
to the abandonment of principles, we mean
the abandonment of those fundamental prin
ciples upon which the Government of the Uni
ted States was reared.
AVe shall favor and encourage the develop
ment of all our resources. Agricultural, Min
eral Ac., and likewise such internal improve
ments as will most likely be beneficial to the
Country, and especially the extension of the
Wilmington, Charlottee and Rutherford Rail
Road west.
As to Politics we are True Conservatives,
believing neither in the Fire Eaters of the
South, nor the Radicals of the North, but in
the Constitution, the Union, and the enforce
ment of all Constitutional laws, whether State
or Federal, and a ready and w'illing obedience
to the same.
The Star will be published every Wednes
day at the following rates, (strictly ^in ad
vance,) payable in currency or produce at
market prices.

‘The Sunday School Banner."
r
A NEW ENTERPRISE!
The Undersigned, Themselves Members of
the Sabbath School, propose to commence in
the city of Raleigh, on or about the 1st of
next May,
“THE SUNDAY SCHO?)L BANNER.”
And in the commencement of this little
work of love,, l>»utig bpye, oursidvcs, may vo
Vot appeal to every SunJlay Scho.'i boy, arid
girl in North Carolina to^come up promptly to
aid the undertaking. In ourowm State, there
are very many Sabbath Schools, and from the
best information we have, the scholarship is (
large and increasing, and it is from them we ■
look for that patronage which is necessary to
improve and keep floating, this native staa-
dard which we propose for their benefit. It
is not for pecuniary gain that the “Banner, ’
is established ; it has for its aim higher ob
jects, and if we succeed in our enterprise, i.
null be to us in after life a source of great sat
isfaction to know that, in our boyhood days,
we gave a helping hand to Sunday Schools,
the preparatory Schools for places of high
trust and position, in the work of our Heaven
ly Father.
Its name sufficiently indicates the object
which is to control its editorial conduct. There
is necessity however for the remark that it
will not be denominational, but alike open to
all the Sabbath Schools of this State for con
tributions, in which there is no spice of secta
rianism.
The “B.\nker*’ will be issued monthly on
handsome type, clear white paper and will
contain fourteen columns reading matter, quar
to length.
W e trust sufficient encouragement may bo
offered to justify the undertaking.
