The line or Telegraph between this city and
New York being now completed, we shall be
able to present important items of foreign and
domestic news simultaneously with the New
York papers, and even the particulars Of said
advices, will reach us in short time after
their being received in this country, by steam.


This is,a proper time for US to pledge our
selves to Use renewed exerlion to supply our
citizens with all the current news of the day,
at as early period as any other paper circula
Ted here. The encouraging increase Of inter
est in the Fountain, leads us to believe, that
while we are pressing forward in our exertions,
our friends win rally to our aid /; and thus we
shall be enabled to receive and give entire sat
isfaction. M


If we have heretofore been behind others in
the conduct Of this papers, it should also be
remembered that we have not until lately had
sufficient support to enable US to give that at
teniion to our enterprize, which we hope now
TO do. We are glad to say, however, that our
course is onward, and soon we shall exert that
influence, which the Penny press Of the Me-

tropoIis should exert. The idea that we would
fail, is now not only abandoned but forgotten.
That which was an experiment, is now real
ity, and instead Of any one being heard to say,
win the Fountain succeed all are beginning
to ask us to send them the paper. Several
days our regular issue has been entirely dis
posed Of and more copies demanded but the
next day by issuing larger edition, the people
have been supplied. Come on, we can in
crease the number to suit the demand, how
ever extensive.


We say the same also in regard to adverti-
sing custom; for if our sheet should prove
too small for the purposes of containing the
matter requisite to be published, we can easily
enlarge it,, Let it be understood. that we shall
endeayor to serve the public faithfully in every
department Of our work.
