. -The poUtical character of the New Era will be of
the same caste as the Union, (which expires with its
present issue,) namely Democratic. ; i
The best energies of the proprietors will be directed
to any and all measures tending to resuscitate the
dormant powers of "Old Athens," and particularly
to keep the people posted on what we are really do
ing; with this determination,- they will furnish a
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, , v ;
The Farmer will find in the New Era a column
from which he may glean some information in addi-"
tion to his previous store 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 taste of
an accomplished gentleman.- ' -
The Ladies who, though mentioned last in this
classification, have always held the first place in our
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
among our duties the gathering and placing before
them all that may tend to elevate and improve the
mind, whether considered in the relation of sisters,
mothers, wiresW daughters; pledging ourselves that
there never shall be found ia our paper in any de
partment, or on any consideration- a word or sylla

virtuous of the sex ; for, as we design the If.w Era
to be a herald of the growing prosperity of our town,

A Commercial ! and Family Newspaper,
' : PUBLISHED IN BEAUFORT, N. C. .
Tlie " Beaufort Journal" commenced its Second
Volume, on the 12th of April, 1&"8. The Journal
being the only papet published on Beaufort Harbor,
and the only one dev6ted to its interest, the Editor
appeals to all who feel an interest in that locality,
to give their support to his paper. The Editor makes
no hollow promises that his paper shall be the best
in the country for thie price, or that there will be any
extra display of talent in its Editorial Columns, as is
frequently the ease in issuing Prospectuses for coun
try papers, but he does pledge himself to publish a
good paper one worthy of a liberal support from the
people ot the State; tit is the design ot the Ji,cutor to
make the Journal a first class Commercial Paper, to
give reports of the Markets, Foreign and Domestic,
the Latest News, &c. - v - - c
The Journal will. continue, as heretofore, Inde
pendent on all subjects.- It-wilf take sides with no
political 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 showpartiality, but to advocate the
claims of Beaufort Ilarbor, 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; and we appeal to the
citizens, those interested, and to the friends of these
juaeesfo give us their support.
1 ne completion ot the Atlantic & JNorth-Uaroima
Railroad is near at hand, and it is very important
that the only paper published on this Harbor should
be widely circulated, in order that its Commercial
advantages may become better known. Persons at
a distance, who feel an interest in, this plaee, will find
the Journal to be very interestrng, as we shall be
careful to give all local news of any importance.

HARPER S rfAAZINE
.' 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 or expense will be
spared to render if 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 tlievWants of -the .American iPublic. Its' regular
c-u-culaHon has not been diminished even during the
unexampled financial revulsion which has proved
disastrous to so many literary and commercial enter
prises; and they are assured froin every quarterthat
the Magazine is recognized as a necessity rather
than a luxury. They therefore announce no ".New
Features ' for the future. They will continue to fill
the Magazine with articles inculcating sound viewt
in Life and Morals ; leaving, as heretofore, the .dis
cussion of sectarian opinions iu Religion, and section
al questions in Polit ies to their -own appropriate
organs. ! Wise men and true patriots agree upon
points far more numerous than those upbn whiehthey
differ.. Tlie object of the Magazine will be to unite
rather than to separate tlie views and feelings of the
people of our common i country. - '
The Publishers do not find it necessary or expedir
ent to appeal" to public attention by issuing " Speci
men' Numbers" containing an unusual amount of
matter or illu.trations-. They intend that every
Number shall prove the Magazine to be the best and
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 Magazine ; and the Publishers are
confident that it will deserve and receive tlie .fame
cordial appreciation and liberal patronage which
have been accorded to it during flie Eight years of
its publication. pfo-

ankle dislocated and the small bone of the W
broken, on Priday last, on the N. C. Railroad, iu
attempting to get off the freight train before it
had come to a dead halt. '
A man on the passqnger train, a-Mr. Overcash,
after seein Mr. Coleman prut on the cars to re
turn to his homo in Concord, and after hearing"
the circmnstanees f his misfortune, had not gone
more than two or three miles, when he delibe
rately took up his carpet bag, and walking out on
the platforrrt, jumped out at a point nearest to his
residence. ; He was, seen lying on the ground aa
long as the cars were in sight; and that evening
a messenger sent to Concord for Dr. Gibson,
stated that6 Overcaslj had got his le? broken.
The,wonder is that it tw'as not both legs, or his

KjLLED.--We learn that a young man named
Jesse Dowd, was ' accidentally 'killed on the 24th
of August at the residence of Mr. Albert Wallace
in this county.' He was riding a young horso
through the lane when a dog jumped"before him,
causing the horse to leap forward which threw Mr.
Dowd upon his head on the ground, inflicting in
juries which caused his death in a few hours.
He was a Painter bv trade and was recently from"
Tennessee, in which State he has relatives living.
He received all the attention from Mr. Wallace's
family that could be rendered.-;-Charlotte Dem.

Good Advice to Promote Bu.siXESS.--In the
life of P. T. Barnum, written by himself, the fol
lowing is one'of his rules for euccess in business :
" Advertise' your business. Do not hide your
light under a bushel. Whatever your calling or
occupation may be,; if it" needs support from 'the
public, advertise it -thoroughly and efficiently in
some shape or other, that will arrest public atten
tion. I freely confess that what success J havo
had in life may fairly be attributed more to the
public press than to nearly-all other cause's com
bhied. There may possibly be occupations that
do not require advertising, but I cannot well con
ceive what they are." j - J -
Iow-Necked I)RESSES.--In the early days of
Pennsylvania, there Vas a law which stated as
follows : That if any white femate, of ten years
and upward, should appear iu any " public street,
lane, highway, church, court house, tavern, ball-,
room, theatre, or any other place of public resort,
with naked shoulders, (i. e., low-riecked dresses,)
being able to purchase necessary - clothing, shall
forfeit and pay a fine, not less than one nor more
than two hundred: dollars." The closing, para-,
graph of tho law, however, permitted, women of
questionable character to bare.their, shoulders, as,
a badge of distinction between the chaste and
unchaste." -" , " - ; j -
