We are now, for the first time, in our own
office room, writing small article to ac-
company the fourth number of the daily
Fountain; and, although not yet complete
in our arrangement, we are in fair way TO
have such perfect system as to render our
daily sheet one among the most interesting
and important. Our readers will be pleased
TO see in to-day's paper letters from our cor
respondents in Baltimore, Alexandria, and
Cumberland, and several other interesting
esting and useful articles.


We say to our friends, help US In this
work of benevolence We might say TO
our enemies, if we have such, (but we trust
we have not,) help us. We intend so to
Conduct ourselves as to make you our
friends; for it is written, that 9when a
mans ways please the Lord he maketh his
enemies to be at peace with him." We are
your friend-we are the true friend of all
we are laboring for the good OF all; and
we do believe, in despite of the fears OF our
friends and the jeers of our enemies, (if there
are any,) we shall succeed; and succeed
well in this our present undertaking. Every
hour brings with it something TO cheer us
on. Then come, lay i'll your claims, every
one of you, for part of the blessings
which are to enure to all who engage Alright
in this labor of love-take our paper
advise others to take it-ADvERTIsE IN IT.

What constitutes, in the opinion OF the
editor, ga good recommendation -

day, that Mr. Sliddle, our Minister to Mex
leo, had been murdered.

There is no better evidence Of the progress of mo-
ralv and virtue, than is afforded by the increase Of
Odd Fellowship. 1t is pomotive of all the virtues
which adorn the character Of man, and calls into ac-
tive exercise that virtue which, above all Others dis
iingushes the Christian and the phianthropist from
the selfish wo,ding, and the narrow-minded ego
list" CnARITY."
