If this first number is a specimen of those that are to followv, the paper cannot fail to hecome a popular one, and'of iienefit to the community where it will liave a grea ter circulation.. Tihongb iptiated at a great distance from. us, thel matter of the paper wi-l be interesting in"'this portion of the Union as in any other. :The price is remarkably law, considering the neat me chanical execution of the sheet, which is printed on large and handsome type. THe price is $1 50 per annum. We copy the followving article frein the first number.-Conlstitutionalist. "Agricudture. -The interests of Agri culture magnify in importancq .in what ever light we view them;; wh6ether we constder its relationi to other br *nches .of indusetry, the number of ind~id nals eraga ged in it, or the capital.Employei. It may be said, and truly, it is that. whichbg'vet value to labor and life to trade; ..Ilies at the basis of our prosperity as-a.

This is the simplest form of trade. ind most advantageous-to the parties con cerned. since they themselves ;enjoy the entire benefits resulting.. "But the farmer may not always-read ily find a shoemaker. for instaice :who would be willing to exchange biss0eairfor grain, as-he may already have enough: The farmer, then, may exchange his grain with the hatter, and the hats whieh.he:re- - ceives with the shoemaker for the shoes by wanted.

But as the-trader is -in no sense a producer. and as he must in. some way live, he must derive a profit from this process'f ,exchanging.

We will suppose that his profits. derived in this way tare twenty per cent.
