ouit object.
the IIomk Advocate Is chiefly In-
tended as a help to parents aud guar-
dians In training up and Instructing
tjiolr childrcn in the way they should
"°Tliis was the only object that in-
ducted us to commence its publica-
tion. It could not have been to Milia-
ry any selfish or covetous desire, as we
do not expect ever to appropriate one
dollar of the proceeds to our own use.
We only desire to make it (if possible)
self-sustaining. Tills we think can be
done, even at a less price than la now
demanded, if all who feel an Interest in
ilia moral training ot youth and chil-
dren will exert themsefveH to procure
an additional number of paying subscri-
bers.
No one need have any doubt as to Us
being continued, as we intend, through
the blessings of a kind Providence, to
perpetuate its exist mice (as the little
JInme Advocate) as long as Ave are per-
mitted to live In the world. In addition
to'the efforts that the Editor and others
have and will continue to put forth to
make lb truly an Advocate of the best
interest of society, we expect soon to
engage some of flic best talent in the
Southern States, to contribute weekly to
its columns. It, must and (with the
Lord's help) will succeed.

More or the Memphis and El Paso-
—The Cincinnati Chronicle has a cor-
respondent tit Washington, who says
it is the intention of the advocates
<>f the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific
Railroad, better known as the Fre-
mont lload, to pu«h through Congress
a bill granting the right of \way to
the road as soon ;i that body as-
sembles. No subsidies will be asked,
enough encouragement having been
given by French and English capital-
ists to ensure the building of the
road without government aid.
Make your a flairs known in the
market-place, and one will call tlieni
black, and another white.
