The undersigned will commence the publication of

20th of July, to be continued every Saturday there
after, the regular issue of , which may be relied onj
The political charactfer of the New Era will be of
the same caste as the Union, (which expires with its
present issue,) namely Democratic. " j
. T)ie best energies of the proprietors willbe directed
to any and all measures tending to resuscitate the
dormant powers of t' Old Athens," and particularly
to keep the people posted on what we are really do
ing ; with this determination, they will furnish. &
faithful record of all statistics which may be in their
power to obtain, in addition to any commercial infor
mation which can conduce to the welfare of our mer
cantile interests. . " .
The Fanner will find in the New Era a column
from which he may glean some information in addi
tion to his previous ttore of agricultural knowledge;
The Literary man, will we trust, discover that, in
our selections, the constant aim will be to present
nothing which .can.be unworthy the refined tasteipf
an accomplished gentleman. - - " . ';':' ;
The Ladies who, though -mentioned last in thjs
classification, have always held the first place in out
affections may be fully assured that, if any matters
of interest capable of being construed by them; as
"news' can be found in our rambles through the
world of letters, We shall consider as prominent
an i on l our duties the sratherinir and ulacinir before
them all that may tend to elevate and improve thb

lhe.ro never shall be found in our paper in any dej
partment, or on any consideration a word or sylla
ble to offend the dellu-acy of the most amiable and
virtuous of tli'e sex ; for, as we design the New Era
to be a hel uld of the growing prosperity of our town,
so do we also desire .to be able to chronicle the evi-

ut many others, rich, rare, and spicy, that have

The Editors deem,it useless to say anything rela
tive to the character of this New Book, nor need
they say that it will be the most amusing work that
has been issued in Ji'alf a century, for, it need only
bei known that ".Mose " wrote it, to satisfy all on
these points; t While it will be an amusing work, il
lustrated with proper designs and cuts to show up
persons and things in their true light, it Will be free
from Vulgarity,-and, will have for its chief object
the correction of the many absurdities so prevalent
in the present day I ;
It will be a book of over 160 pages, printed on
good material, ami bound in paper cover.

A Commercial and Family Newspaper,
PUBLISHED IN BEAUFORT, N. C.
The " Beaufort Journal" conunenced its'; Second
Volume, on the 12th of- Apiil, 158. The 'Journal
being the only paper published on Beaufort Harbor,
and the only one devoted to its interest, the Editor
appeals to all who Teel an Interjest in that locality,
togive their support to his pajier.1- jThe Editor makes
no hollow promises that his' paper shall be the best
in the country for the price, or that there will be any
extra disphiy of talent in its Editorial Columns, as is
frequently the case in issuing Prospectuses for coun
try papers, but he does pledge himself to. publish a
goodpaper one worthy of a liberal support from the
people of the State. - It is the design of the Editor to
make the Journal a first Bass Commercial Paper, to
give reports of the Markets, Foreign and Domestic,
theLatest Xews, &c. ."'''' i
The Journal wilt continue, , as h eret of ore ,; Inde
pendent on all subjects. ; It will tale sides with no
pohtieal party, but will advocate; such measures as
are thought best calculated to promote the interests
of the country and of our State.
As to the different localities in this vicinity, , it is
not our object to show partiality, but to ajdvocate the
claims of Beaufort Harbor, and leave Beaufort;
Morehead,'and Carolina Cities to stand on their own
merits believing that more good can be accom
plished in this way than in discussing the claims or
advantages of localities 5. and we appeal to the
citizens, those interested, and to the friends of these
places, to give us;'their support.
The completion of the Atlantic & North -Carolina
Railroad is near at hand, and it is very important
that the only paper published on this Harbor should
be widely cnculated, in order that its Commercial
advantages may become better known. Persons at
a distance, who feel an interest, in this place, will find
the Journal to be Very interestrng, as we shall be
careful to give all local news of any importance.;

- ' . OF THE ..
SOUTHERN STATESMAN.
BY HICKS & EVANS.
In view of the Great . Destitution in the reading
community, occasioned by the' discontinuance of the
Carolina Intelligencer and Cleveland Times, the sub
scribers propose to iiublish a weekly Newspaper in
the town of Shelby, . North-Carolina, to be devoted
.to Politics, Agriculture, General News, Education,
Morality, Internal Improvements,. Commerce and
Miscellany. ' '..'-...; ; ;'.:'
In ij:s political complexion the Southern Statesman
will be the linicavering advocate of the principles of
Democracy,, as expounded by Jefferson, Jucksoh,
Polk and others, believing that, undj;r these prin
ciples,' the union of the States and the perpetuity of
our glorious form of GoA-ermnem will be more likely
to be maintained than by any other party in exis
tence. ; . - - - - - -
;- The interest of those engaged in Agiieulture, (the
most noble and independent avocation on earth,) shall
be duly attended to, by publishing, occasionally,
valuable, agricultural essays, as well as by giving;
correctly, the prices of produce at the markets where
our patrons will be mostly concerned.
"YY e shaK expect our paper to be the medium of
News from the Churches ; and shall publish a suffi
cient amount of moral find religions matter to make
it a safe and desirable Familv Newstianer I'-
In short, to do good is our object, and will, .there?
fore, be our greatest aim. This we hope to accom
plish, by making pur paper ; as free, from errors as
our capacities will enable "us!. - : ;
1 We will commence the publication of the " States
man," shortly after : the Democratic Convention at
Charlotte on the 14th prox., if a sufficient number of
subscribers is obtained to justify it'.

HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
SEVENTEENTH VOLUME. ;.
The Publishers of Harper's New Monthly Maga
zine refer to the Sixteen 'Volumes already issued as
the best assurance that no labor pr expense will be
spared to render it worthy of the liberal support
which it has received,- They believe that the Mag
agine now embraces in its general plan every thing
essential to an attractive literary miscellany, adapted
to the wards of . the American Public, Its regular
circulation has not been diminished even doling the
unexampled financial revulsion, which has proved
disastrous to so many literary and commercial enter
prises ; and they are assured from every quarter that
the5 Magazine is recognized as a necessity rather
th.an h bi-riirv: Thev therefore announce no "New
Features'' for the future; They will continue to fill
the Magazine with articles inculcating sound views
in Life and Morals; leaving, as heretofore, the dis
cussion of sectarian opinions in Religion, and section
al questions in Politics to their own appropriate
organs.- Wise men and true patriots agree upon
points far more numerous than those upon which they
differ. The object of the Magazine will be to unite
rather than to separate the views and feelings of the
people of our common country. ,
The Publishers do not find it necessary or expedi
ent to appeal to public attention by issuing "Speci
men, Numbers" containing an unusual amount of
matter or illustrations. They intend that every
Number shall prove the Magazine to be thebcf-tiand
cheapest periodical published. It will contain a
larger amount of matter, more numerous and better
illustrations printed in a better manner, than (any
other Monthly Uagazine ; . and the Publishers are
confident that it will deserve and receive the same
cordial appreciation and liberal patronage which
have been accorded ti it duriDg the. Eight years, of
its publication.. I : ! , Septl-dtf.
