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.

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- Franklin Sruaret New York, August 3, lbo. - .

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.
