Encouraged by tho recont large increase in he circulation of TUB CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS, the proprietors aro happy to announce that, with tho opening of tho new year, the price of subscription will be reduced to a figure which will at once place the paper within the reach of every family in the city and throughout thc State. On and after the first of January, 1868, THE DAILY NEWS will be pub lished at SIN DOLLARS A YEAR, payable, in all oases, in advance. It will then be, without exoeption, tho cheapest first-class journal in the Southern States. There is no good reason why our community should not be furnished with a live daily newspaper at a rate approx! mating that of the sprightly penny press of the Northern cities ; and the very generous support which has been accorded to us on all sides has hastened a step, long contemplated on our part, towards meeting the popular want. It is hard? ly necessary to say that there will be no dimi? nution in the amount or interest of the reading matter in any department of the paper ; on the contrary, it will be our con.tant effort and our pride to make it, day by day, more full, reliable and entertaining-the spirited compend of the world's news, the mirror of local life, and the mouthpiece of an enlightened and liberal pub? lic opinion. At the soli citation of many of our friends in the country, we shall also, during the first week in January, commence the issue of THE CHARLES? TON TRI-WEEKLY NEWS. The subscription price will be THREE DOLLARS A YEAR, or Two DOLLARS FOB SIX MONTHS, payable always in advance. This reduction in our rates will, we know be all the more welcome to the public, inas much as it comes at a time of unprecedented financial distress, when there are few, indeed among our people who do not sorely need every dollar that eau be saved. We do not permit ourselves to doubt that our enterprise will be rewarded with a steady increase of that popu lar appreciation,and support of whioh we hare hitherto received so liberal a share. THE DAILY NEWS already enjoya a circulation largely exceeding that of any other journal now published in this or tbe adjoining States and its reader? may rest assured that, in the future, no effort will be spared to increase the attractiveness of its columns, and to extend still further the field of its influence and use? fulness.
