The joint efforts of the Editors will he devoted to the task of making the Journal A Courier a welcome visitor alike to the count ing-room and the fireside. Strict attention will be given to com mercial advices, market, reports, and cotton statements, with a view to fullness and accuracy. The hlest and most interesting NEWS foreign and domestic, must of course find a place in the Journal’s columns, yet not to the entire exclusion of such reading as may tend lo purify the heart, quicken the intellect, and refine the feelings. As io party politics, it would perhaps be safest for our subscribers not to expect to be altogether pleased. The tin dersicned promises them—indeed must vAerve to himself in the most ample and express terms—it course of thorough indepen dence. Yet those who know him will not, and others must not he surprised to to find the paper an advocate of Democratic princi ples. How far it will go in support of Democratic aspirants for office, and of.raen in office, must depend upon a variety of conside rations; among others, upon the qualifications of candidates and the fidelity with which encumbents discharge their duties. It miy he added, in general terms, that the principles upon which the several administrations now in poifcr nt Washington, at Milledge rillc and in Savannah are based, meet our hearty approval. Yet we do not engage to defend all their acts; though it wilfever he more pleasing to praise than b ame. TTiei.

Cony beare and the ]!< \ J. S. llowson, needs no apology. During the short in terval since its publication in England, il hascoinmnud ed the admiration of scholars and inlelligi lit reudrrs of the Bible, both in this country and Europe, and has passed through the ordeal of criticism in the leadiiur Quarterlies and journals of both countries, and received the highest commendation. The expense of the English edition, however, is such as necessarily to limit the cir culation in this country, and the desire lias been repeat edly expressed that the work should be published in a form und at a price which would bring it within the reach of ministers, students, and intelligent renders gen erally. The present edition, it is believed, will meet the existing want. Though offered at one half of the cost of the London copy, the work lias in no way suf- - sered from abridgement, bul lias bee* preserved com plete in every respect. The notes, coins, maps, plans, and wood engravings generally have been retained, and yet the size of the work has been reduced from the un wieldly quarto to a convenient octavo form. Os the work itself we can heartily rc-ccho all that has been said in praise of its scholarship, ingenuity, interest and value to the Bible student. It presents, in the form of anew translation, all the Scripture records re specting Paul’slife, and all his epistles, in chronological order. The csegeticnl portion of the work is very able and acute; whether the reader will he able to agree with the conclusions or not. he will he delighted with the erudition, acuteness, and truly candid spirit of the commentary. It will be found invaluable to the stu dent, and from its popular character, equally rich and entertaining to the general Bible Reader. —New York Evangelist. For Sale by GEORGE PARKS A CO., Agent.
