will be sent for the next two months for fifty cents IN ADVANCE; or for the next seven months for two dollars and fifty cents IN ADVANCE. Send names and CASH.

THE NEWS JOB OFFICE has more type, in greater variety and more beautiful styles than was ever seen in Fredericksburg. We surpass work sent us from Richmond and Baltimore. The foreman in charge guarantees satisfaction, in cheapness and elegance of execution. Professional and business men in town and county had better call on us.

AMENDE-We hear from a gentleman of Caroline county who is a judge of appearances that we have done great injustice to Freedmen’s Bureau Tukey, (fellow candidate with the mulatto Crockett,) in that we intimated that he was a worse looking man than Freedmen’s Bureau Johnson were. It is so unpleasant to look at Johnson that we have delayed inspecting him until justice to Tukey demanded that we should take another view of his personal pulchritude and painfully disagreeable physiognomy.
We are compelled however to admit that Johnson beats Tukey! Tukey is as far superior to Johnson as a respectable Turkey Buzzard is better looking than an insignificant carrion crow.
Among the most disgusting necessities of our business we consider the duty to look at these people, and once to have been heard Peter Couse talk-Peter’s voice is as repulsive as Johnson’s face-and they must not blame us that they possess these unfortunate peculiarities. We merely record these attributes of prominent public men, in these latter days, when negroes vote and scallawags and carpet baggers aspire to offices of honor and trust. If “shame shall be the promotion of fools” they all merit “promotion.”
