OF
"THE TEXAS SUN,"
a weekly newspaper, to be published ix the
city ok riciijioxd, texas.
The undersigned will commenced the publication
of a newspaper, in the City of Richmond, Texas,
on the first Saturday in January, 1855, entitled
" THE TEXAS SUN."
In embarking in an enterprise of this kind, ens-
tom demands that we should indicate (for more than
this cannot be done in a prospectus) what objects
we have in view, as well as the means by which
said objects arc to be accomplished. This, we will
attempt, in as few words as possible.
Our aim shall be to make the SUN, emphatically
a Family Newspaper, excluding at all times from
its columns, everything opposed to a refined and
cultivated taste, and to which the most fastidious
could object. Agriculture, Internal Improvements,
and the Education of the masses by a general sys-
tem of Common Schools, being primary objects with
us, shall receive particular attention; but the SIJX
will be strictly ixdepexdext in Politics aud Re-
ligion, as we believe that a discussion of the .means
by which the intellectual and physical resources of:
Texas may be developed, to be much more impor- S
tant than that of political abstractions, or speculative '
theories of religion.
That a properly conducted press, of a high moral
tone, is essential to the well behig of every commu-
nity, is a truism which will suggest itself tc every
intelligent aud observant mind < while all, who have
closely watched the progress of events in this coun-
try, will readily admit that the press is " the power
behind the throne," since the preservation of order
the prevention of crime, and the the execution
of the laws, depend more upon public sentiment, as
reflected through the press, than upon the number
or the stringency of legislative enactments; in tine,
its inílueuce, direct or reflex, is sensibly frit by all
classes in our republic—by the statesman who
shapes his course in accordance with its behests, no
less than by the mechanic and artisan, who consult
it more or less in the formation of their opinions re-
specting public affairs. Such considerations as the
forcgoiug, we trust, will secure for this enterprise
the approbation and favor of the citizens of Rich-
mond and its vicinity, and prompt them to co-ope-
rate with us in the establishment of a paper which
will faithfully represent their interests, aud correctly
reflect their sentiments.
This enterprise commends itself particularly to
the citizens of Western Texas. By the time we
propose publishing the SUN, the cars will have
commenced running regularly from Harrisburg to
Richmond, which will enable us to publish the cur-
rent news of the day in advance of any Western
journal; added to this, the facilities afforded by a
line of Telegraph from Houston to Richmond—
a line which will doubtless be built in a short
time—and the SUN will possess advantages equal
to those enjoyed by any of the Eastern journals,
while Richmond will assume, with respect to the
Brazos and Colorado valleys, the position heretofore
occupied by Houston. i
The editorial and financial management of the
SUN -vill be uuder the exclusive control of one of
its proprietors, R. iierxdox Rawlixgs, u ho will
devote his whole time and energies to these depart-
ments. The other proprietors hope to add much
interest to its columns by contributing valuable in-
formation, in the way of correspondence from the
various portions of the State to which they may be
led by professional engagements. When we add to
these" resources the correspondence of our numerous
friends :.u the Eastern cities, (whose services have
been engaged,) we feel justified in declaring that
the SUN shall not fail to compare favorably with
any paper in Texas.
As to its size aud cress, we have only to say that
one of the firm is now en route to New York, for the
express purpose of purchasing Hoe's Washington
Press, No. 5, and furnishing the ofiice, generally,
with entirely new materials. Having to pay cash
for our office, and intending to pay our liands, month-
ly, with the same commodity, we are compelled to
decline the insertion of all advertisements unaccom-
panied by the CASH. ,
Subscriptions—Two dollars and a half per an-
num, in advance; Three Dollars if paid in six
months from the time of subscribing, or Three Dol-
lars and a half if not paid until the expirat'oa of
the year.

independent of the control and w ithout the support

the same responsibility will be felt, and the same
