We have determined, for the pre
unt, to discontinue the publication Ac
f our Daily and Weekly paper, and til
a lieu thereof; to issue a Semi- Til
Veekly. Our reasons for adopting 40
his course are many:: two of the el
ho
iain ones are,
Firat-We need a little relaxation p
rom business, so as to regain our Cc
tealth. To do this, we must either li
T]
uspend entirely or partially, as we d
mnd it impossible to have our busi
tess properly attended to, unless we
tave our shoulder at the -wheel.. pt
Second-The times do not justify in
he publication of a daily in our city.
We were advised long since, to In
nake the present change,.but. would c(
lot, 1clinging to the hope that the .
Alockade would be raised ere this, j1
)ut we have been disa~pointed.-- in
We could makig noney by. closing to
)ur ustablislune'ft altogether,. until P'
the blockade was raised-for then re
we would be free of the expense of l
workmen. paper, etc.-this we prefer fe
iot doing however, as a few friends al
desire seeing us. 'keep up", which we tl
shall strive to do. Come to.the as- tl
sistance of the Semi-Weekly, kind le
friends, and aid at least in making it tl
self-supgorting..1
Besides giving the latest news up
to the day of publication, we intend I
to make Seni-Weekly a paper for the Ii
hlone circle, containing interesting
iant amusing articles. c
The size, though it may appear, k
small, cannot be increased as there is .
no paper to be purchased, and tlhis a
is the only kind we have. Still,
small as it lool it will be 1,undl to
contain much reaiding matter.
We desire from our old patrons a
continuance of their favors, thanking
ti for those extended to us in tie

Harding eonfirms the reported fall
ing hack of Gen.. Price's command
to Neosho,. intelligence which we
published iR our issue of the 26th,
and expresses the opinion that the
retrograde movement of Price is on
ly one of strategy for the purpose of
forcing Fremont to extend his lines,
Iandl thereby weakening his strength.
'Price's army is reported to 1e in
the very best condition and engage
the Woolly Horse. The number is
less than has been supposed, all the

McCulloch's conmnand, which is re
