To-morrow I start for my "mountain home," and with my invigorated health
and spirit, I hope to resume my toils with a prospect of bringing out my
process at an early day.
I remain,
fraternally yours,

[Hand] We are highly gratified to find many of our fellow Daguerreotypists
are cordially welcoming us on by manfully and numerously sending us their
names for the Daguerreian Journal for one year. When we commenced our
editorial labors we launched our hark upon a sea never before thought safe
for regular navigation, but we find only few snags in the way, and these
are every day lessened by our close application and the assistance of kind
friends. No man knows his friends until they have an opportunity to prove
themselves.
With but few exceptions, all who subscribed for the Journal for the first
four months have sent us two dollars worth of the "root of all evil," for
their subscription for the balance of the year. We _bow_, and _thank you!_
May you never get in a "Fog."

professional duties at the above named institution.

[Hand] Mr. J. E. Mayall of London, has promised us an article on
"Photographing on Glass." This will appear as soon as received.

[Hand] Our old and learned friend Mr. Finley of Canandaigua, promised us a
communication. Where is it?

[Hand] Removal.--In our last we noticed our removal to No. 252 Broadway;
this was the case, but we found on consulting a carpenter in relation
to putting in a sky-light, he declared it unsafe. The consequence was,
that we at once abandoned the idea, and soon made very satisfactory
arrangements with Mr. Insley, the well and favorably known proprietor of
the _Insley Gallery_. Once again we are settled and would be happy to see
all who feel an interest in the Daguerreian and Photogenic arts.
_The Office of the Daguerreian Journal is at No. 311 Broadway._

Our Daguerreotypes.
We are assured by one in whom we have all confidence, and withal! capable
of judging, that there is now in progress a machine for cleaning and
buffing plates. This machine is an ingenious and valuable contrivance, and
it is said will polish a plate in one-sixth of the time required by any
other process. The whole done without handling the plate. _We hope so._
