I THRESH MINERAL WATERS. — Wo take I . pleasure in informing the public generally that | we have received,and will keep constantly up during the season, a full supply of “ WHITE SULPIluA WATER,” from the celebrated Spring in Green brier County, Va. This water, which has been for several years transported from the White Sulphur Springs, in j Greenbrier County, in this State, enjoys great repu ; tation throughout the United States, and is now very generally used, and its virtues extolled as a remedial agent in bilious diseases incident to a warm climate, dyspepsia, costivet.<-sa, jcundicc, chronic rheumatism, gout, dropsy, in afTerlions of the breast occasioned by disease of the stomach or liver, neuralgia, anti nervous diseases in general ; chronic infl.tT.ation of the kidneys and bladder, and urethra ; piles, scrofula and eruptions, or other ! a flections of the shin ; ill conditioned ulcers, mer curial diseases, &c. &c., all of which is attested hy the highest names in the medical profession, and many others who have for years used this water, both at and when removed from the fountain. SAR ATOG A W ATER, from the Congress, Union, Pavillion and Iodine Springsin New York, in quart and pint bottles. CHALYBEATE MINERAL WATER, an active and lasting Tonic. A general view of the analysis of this water, will show that it stands the first in rank of the highly concentrated “Chalybeate*,”— consequently it acts as a Tonic, ineteasing the strength of the system, raising the force of rirett lation, giving tone to the degistivc organs, aug menting the muscular vigour, and promoting the excretions; it is of course advantageously employed in Ihooe diseases in which Iron is principally used, such as Amenorrhea, Chlorosis, some states of Me \ norrhagia, Leucorrhea, Dyspepsia, Scrofula and ca j rious forms of Chronic Debility. j The only Agents for W’m B.

Tiib New Era will he democratic in its tone and | chat actor, devoted to the Republican party in its noli til's, and is intended to meet the whig press in the City of Norfolk on equal ground, to spread true know led re before the people in this section of Vir ginia, and folly define and sustain Republican Prin ciples ; those i'iiiN< ipt.es which have been hallowed by nil Virginia's Statesmen, immutably impressed upon her destiny by the Resolutions of I79S-*99, and firmly upheld m every election for National Off! • errs since we have been a Confederation of States. Tbits boldly and explicitly stating our politics, we. would not have it understood that we rise up for the purpose of pursuing an indiscriminate, and un remitting personal warfare upon our political co temporaries. We shall hold out the Olive Hratich to them, aud only pierce when tlicv strike. YVc intend to make a \ewspaper of The New Era that shall be a welcome and profitable visiter to every citizen in the community, in whose columns noth - ing but truth will lie found, and on whose state ments the utmost reliance can be. placed. The New Er a. Some may be curious enough to inquire why we have given the paper this name : Our reasons are these: 1. Recause wc now identify ourselves more close ly with the good peopleof Norfolk, whose grow ing enterprise we have long witnessed and admired, and whose prosperity, with our own we desire to advance; and iir so identifying ourselves, we have chosen the time when a iVem Fra has opened upon the good » Old Ror ough,”and she finds herself, by the silent but potent operation of the ballot-box, suddenly transformed into a young and vigorous city, armed at all points, like Minerva, ready to laky her stand among the rival cities of the Union: when the bust vestige of kingly char tered rights is broken down, and she comes directly under a republican muni-mal gover n ment. -• IV #«*«• II mu 11 uuui y UI i^OriOIK* that a permanent Democratic paper is now for the first time (n be established within her limits; ami all can, no doubt, remember when there were but Home ten or a dozen men, who were hold enough, on great questions of public pol iev, to go up to the polls and proclaim them selves for democratic measures —their numbers now amount to “legion,” and they are con tinually increasing. They have grown so nu merous that they demand an okoan and expo nent of their principles, for they can and will support it. 3. It is started at a ATew Fra in our National af fairs—when wonderful changes have just been wrought in the political world ; when a new man is at the head of affairs, when old parties have been broken down,and old measures have been quietly abandoned, and we open our eyes upon a nem order of things. Wc find the first great move in carrying out the object of our govermnent, “enlarging the boundaries of freedom,” just about to be made, by the annex ation of Texas, and the Old World is astounded at our progress, and muttering* are heard from afar. Wc take our stand w Hie re and when wo can do the most efficient service, and render more certain aid to the Government which we zealously labored to bring into power. vurh are some of the reasons that induce us to give the new paper the name wc have proposed, and we hope they will he satisfactory to every freeman* albeit we do not agree with Shn/ispeare, that “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,” and therefore, there may be some who like notour name, but they will get used to it before we are done with it. The New Era will contain all the earliest intel ligence, local and foreign, and such portion of mis cellaneous reading, that goes to make up a news paper ; and in order to secure it an extensive circu lation, and bring it within the compass of all, the price is put down its low as it can possibly be af forded, to insure its permanence, viz:—Five Dol lars n ye;w to all who desire to take the paper in that way, and who pay in advance ; Ten Cents a. week, auil Two Cents a number, invariably paid at Uic time of delivery. Carriers will be furnished each day with a fud supply for transient custom._ We have adopted this course in order to insure our patrons and ourselves from possible loss. This will give us an extensive circulation, and will, of course, be the most profitable medium through which advertisers can meet the public eye, while t;hc terms will be the same as now charged for a more limited circulation. 'Vc have thoroughly examined the whole ground, and wc are convinced (hat the proposed plan of publication is the only judicious one that can he started in this go-a-hcad age; it is useless to strive against the onward progress of human improve ments, and if we wish to keep in company wc must put on more steam and rush with the tide. We have done so, and we now a-dc for that patronage which industry and an earnest intention to deserve it may command. Wo do not break our connection with our old Pa tron.* and Friends, but shall give them a Daily in stead of a Tri-weeUlij paper, without increasing thn price of subscription ; this, we have no doubtf will be gratifying to them.
