NEVADA JOURNAL JANUARY 4, 1856 1
FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1856.
PARTNERSHIP.
The subscribers have this day formed a partnership in the Nevada Journal Newspaper and Job Office
under the name of BROWN & CoO. E. G. WAITE, H. M. FULLER, A. C. NILES, N. P. BROWN.
Nevada Journal Office, Jan Ist, 1856.
CHANGE.
We chronicle with unfeigned regret the withdrawal of MR. JOHN P. SKELTON from the
proprietorship of this paper. By those who have known our old partner, long and well, we run no hazard
of being charged with hifalutin when we say that a more gentlemanly and high minded young man never
stuck a type in a printing office, or presented a bill for payment. A warm and undying attachment to
relatives in the valley of the Mississippi with whom he wishes in a few months to be again united has
induced him to dispose of his interest in the Journal. The tie is strong that binds us to kindred and
fatherland, but if the feelings of our no longer partner are as poignant at parting as those of his associates
remaining in the office he will find the separation from us as sad as that of kindred and from home.
SALUTATORY.
n assuming the editorial charge of the Journal it is due to the patrons of the paper that we should
state briefly the course which we intend to adopt in its conduct.
We belong to the American party—we joined it in the firm conviction that it was the best and purest
of the great political parties which now exist. This conviction has become strengthened with time and
though with some of its principles as construed by some of its members we cannot entirely concur, we
think it still the party to which the true patriot would most wisely belong. The columns of the Journal will
at all proper times and in every proper manner be devoted to the advancement of the American interest.
With all due love to the state of our adoption and every party of it, we profess ourselves especially
desirous of the prosperity of the section in which we live—the mining region. As far as the dissemination
of news interesting and instructive to miners,—and the advocacy of measures in our state councils
beneficial to them and just to others, will conduce to that prosperity, we will endeavor not [to] be found
wanting. Upon all new questions which may arise of either local or general interest, we shall express our
opinions whatever they may be freely and fearlessly, and we trust with all charity and candor. The paper
shall never, under our charge, become a vehicle of epithets or a medium for mere personal quarrels.
With this brief statement of our intentions, and with all proper distrust of our skill in an untried
profession, we make our bow, and mount the tripod. [ADDISON C. NILES. ]
FROST BITTEN.—A man named Patrick Carson was severely frost bitten on the 23d ult. in going
from Red Dog to Negro Flat. He lost his way in the storm and was out all night, and when found the next
day, his feet and hands were severely frozen.
McKEAN BUCHANAN.—We saw this distinguished actor in Hamlet, last Tuesday evening. On the
whole we were highly pleased. His physique however, is an obstacle to his perfect success in rendering
this most difficult of all characters. His large frame and manly proportions cannot with all his art be
forced to represent our ideal of the morbidly sensitive, reflective, wavering Student Prince of Denmark.
He has however a fine appreciation of the character, and in many portions of the play exhibits the powers
of a good actor.. .
