A New Paper.- We have received the prospectus of a new paper, the Iron Age, the publication of which is to be commenced about the 1st of February, at Birmingham,- Duval and Roberts, editors.  Politically it will be Democratic,  Frank Duval would edit no other kind of a paper.  Success to the Iron Age.-  [Marion Commonwealth].

The non-appearance last year of the Birmingham Iron Age, after a prospectus had been issued by Frank A. Duval & Co., Mike L. Woods, Editor, was owing entirely to the failure of Col. Woods to come to time.  He was to have furnished the entire capital, and his failure to do so, involved an indefinite postponement.  As we selected the name of the paper then, we have adopted it now, and Col. Woods is in no manner connected to this paper.
