The first issue of the paper was by our iqin edinte prede- I censor and lamented friend, 011 the 12th of] February, 1852. Years before, the tipen11 ent of a newspaper had been made hero I and failed ; this, together with the fact that the area and population of the District were comparatively small, and obscurely situated, afforded no vety flattering inducements upon which to base the prospect of success In the new undertaking. The District, however, responded warmly to the call upon her pride and patriotism ; prominent gen. tieincn took an active part tor the paper and the second experiment soon gave earnest of u very fair success. Thv paper, wo believe, started with a promising subscription list, and it affords in great pleasure to state in this connection, that of the number of subscribers in the District who commenced with the first issue of the paper, about two hundred ha"e continued their uninterrupted support their names still stand upon our boots and their payments are made up to Feb. 12 We hope and believe that these gentlemen have received value for their money, yet we honor them for their consistent and undeviating support of the Pr ess of their District through all the changes of fortune and circumstances to which a period of eight years would naturally subject them. W e have many otln r good patrons to whom we are truly grateful, bnt those to whom we have alluded, "the Old Guard,'' haye constituted one of the main pillars upon which the Lancaster Ledger has been sustained jt is perhaps the experience of many newspaper publishers, as jyell as J.I10 origi. na'ors of other enterprises, that when lir.,t introduced, the very npyelty of the under taking secures for it friends which under other circumstances it would not receive.? An Su ?I- - ? - 1 .... rAULdMCKi m II |# VI IIICII 14 flOl permanent. and it is not until after the reaction, which will inevitably come, has passed away, that the proprietor of the enterprise ran with any sort of accuracy estimate the success of his experiment. The Lancaster Ledger has pone through this experience. About 1856, the popular sentiment in favor of the District paper was at its ebb, and perhaps its prospects at that time more gloomy than ever before or since. In May of that year we took charge of it. The high excitement in relation to certain questions, upon which the candidates for the Legislature were at issue, prevalent at that time in the District, added much to the difficulties before us. But that excitement, Jike all similar ones before it. passed away and our first year's experience in r.ewspupcrdorn terminated, if not entirely to our satisfaction, yet with results fullv up to the expectations we had conceived in taking charge of the paper Since then our bosi ness has been slowly hut steadily increasing, and we believe that the piper now rests qpi.n as ?i?lld a basis and affords as handsome qq Income as the majority of our up country papers. Tuis has been achieved, not through qny extraordinary effort upon pur part, or through ajjy peculiar talent for the profession of which wu npty be possessed, but mainly through a consistent attention to the affairs of our calling. dcvernl months ago finding that our duties ap editor were not sufficient to occupy our full tiine, and not fueling able to einplo) nny portion of that time unprotitably, we believed it pioper and our duty to engage in nnotlter profession. This we have done, but the paper, we are persuaded, wijl not auflVr thereby. Competent assistant*. under our aoperviuipi;, will be provided when necessary. We huve several improvements in con. * temptation. Ilefoie the end of thp present 1 volume, we will provide a new outfit of material, ami if our advertising patronage continues to increase na it haa done for the licet ?ix months, and more especially if our j jruiJrO'd *'jcca<-d*. we will enlarge the paper- . Our readers will excuse us for writing , this long article upon a matter purely per- | \ i \ sonal. It it* not often Uiut wo offend in | this way ; and it had not occurred to uh to write upon this subject, but the publisher conceived that another beginning of a new | volume should not pass without some note of it. We agreed with him, and the above j is the result. Our Contemplated RailroadIt was announced through our "Local's Column" a sliurt lime since, that a project for hniiding * railroad from this place l<> j Camd- n was in serious contemplation, and j that the trends ot the enterprise were urg | itig it forward with ever) prospect of ultimate success. This is true in every sense of the word. We have never seen the spirit .if itn ' provciuent so generally predominant in our : scctjoq as it Is at this parlieular juncture. | There is scare el) a difference of opinion as j to the necessity or feasibility of the under- j taking, and nearly everv one seem anxious i | to furnisfa their due quota of material aid. | without much talk or blusLr about the matter. It would seem as if Lancaster, iiii.it ,.r I.... I. > ?j ? I ?..,?.uivu * ? nvi uiuiciiu iiig^uru luuisiop*, j is desirous i>f shaking oft' the odium \vhich i lias attached to her in consequence, and ' without any cniptv boasting or unmeaning braVaJo. bv a unanimous and well directed i effort. place herself side by side with her uister Diutrlets in the march of social, tornniereial and industrial prosperity. The spirit of "old fojryism" which has always kept our District iti the back ground and clogged and finally defeated oveiy pievious effort that has been made, hides its diminished head behind the strong and determined position which the many friends of toe enterprise have assumed. This is no exaggerated view of the sentiment of the people at large in relation to this matter. They are thoroughly aroused ty the importance of the projected enterprise?a cond itioti which we have long j desired to sec them attain?and we trust sufficiently so to e-naale them to successfully frown down every attempt to discour- ' age or throw cold water on the movement. The question of success is one of vital iinI port to the District, not onlv to the present j hut to the coming generation, and let nov I i 1 who would oppose the measure, cither by | Sclive insinuation or by a passive refusal to j ! extend their support and encouragement in [ : proportion to tneir nbilitv, or their social, i business or political influence, look to the' consequences. We are cognizant ?>f the j I i ? unity means win in- resorted j to, to acccomplisii this yrr.it work. The j ! issue will he carried into the various rcla- ; i timid of business and pationage ; 'lie hai! lot box, if need ho, will fool its weight, j and properly so, for no man who Is not nti ' active triend ol ,? woik that j.roinises so [ i much for the District, deserves to have anv i | office of hono' tr protit within the gift of I ' the people of Lancaster. I If a charter was obtained, wo hazard lit- j tic in saving that within u few months stif- j ftoient stock would he taken in Lancaster , District to secure the road, having in view | the help which we may reasonably look for j from other quarters" This we infer from : ttie amount of material aid already ph dyed j j by the people of this imtiic iiate section.? Other quarters of the District, we are per suaded, from accounts which have been , received, will extend their hearty support. I An earnest was given of this a few days ' i ngo. when a gentlem an from a remote quar- I | ler of the District pledged $10 000 to the | enterprise. The citizens on the Chester j aide of tlao Catawba, we are told, have ex- j ! pressed an interest in and will assist in j I bail liny the road. Cheering aeeounts have been received from portions of Kershaw; j and citizens of Camden. oar ancient market j I town, whopi it is said has been jealous ot \ an extensiim of tli? road North of her, have j expressed a friendly interest in the measure. I j The prospects are certainly cheering for I | a road ; the people are alive to the fact that ' ! we are sadly in need of a road ; we are ! abundantly able to huild it, for our District is one of the most solvent in the State, and the pervading sentiment now is that S j ire trill huild il. ) A gentleman has proposod to discuss ! through our paper the advantages that will j j probably accrue to Iain caster from a rail| road, and will be beard from s??op. It would ' j be a herculean task to tell all the advantages that we are likely to experience : he proposes to recount snipe of ?hem. A Word of Encouragement, An intelligent observer, whose profess| ional calling has brought him in communi- | cation with various sections of the State,, I and who doubtless appreciates the wants ' ! and the advantages of different localities j I with more than the ordinary interest, wrt- I ! ting from this place to tin; Yorkvilie KnquiI rsr, makes the following sensible remarks | in relation to the railroad excitement in our ! District : Lancaster District ought to do itself the honor of building a railroad by which to re' ali/e the benefit of easy communication , with othe' portions of the Slate ; and at j prcsept (juitea lively sentiment prevails on j that subject. The talk i? being done?soon ^ the work of raising subscriptions ought to commence, and perhaps will, in such a manner as to make sure of a charter from the next legislature. A railroad from Cam | deli to this place vynuld certainly pay well. . { Cotton and tqrpeiithp are now transported | I in wagons over '.he entire line it would ! traverse, in quantities at present alupml j sufficient to support any road upon which j linn might be thrown.

M Pennington, th- man whom Mr. Brooks of our Slate, handled so roughly a few years ngo.j is infinitely more conservative in his p ditlcs than Sherman, the favorite of the Republican party; and it is said is in favor of the fugitive slave law as It stands. The Republicans, in order to succeed in tlio election, was forced to take down the man of tlwir choice and put lip one more friendly to the South. The Char* leston Courier defines Pennington in a very few words as follows : Independent of polities and of the circumstances attending the election, there is no objection to Mr. Speaker Pennington except the fact that he is not at all nnali lied fur tin* office t?> which availability and "a concalcnalio : ot contingencies" has elevated liiin.

Up to the latest accounts, the biil had not passed the Senate, and a memorial from a large number of tu iil contractors li.nl been presented to that body, prat ing for immediate relief. The President, it is said, is preparing a special message i>n the Pacific railroad, which he will communicate to Congress in a few days. The lending points of his recommendations are believed to be already embodied in a bill which has been submitted to him and to many of the Senators who have heretofore arr ived themselves against all Paeilic railroad schemes. 'Phis hill provides for two roads ? the Southern and the Northern Central, lie will utge 11 pon the attention of Congress the iinpo*tanee of a railroad to the Pacific States with the rest of the Union in 'iiseparable bauds, and t?> preserve them from all possibility of successful a^ack and disinembouncr.t by foieign Powers. The .'resident believes that the time has arrived when the country demands and will have a national highway to the Paeilic. From our Monday night's mail, we learn that the Senate has passed the Post Office Appropriation Hill, with the amendment for the total abolition of the franking privilege.
