SOO IHERN LITERARY GAZETTE,
Was commenced on Saturday, the 4th of MAY,
1871, under Its original name-instead of Richards

character, it being the only weekly organ Of Ltera

The Southern Literary Gazette
rivals the best OF them IN all the characteristics of
diffusion of cultivated and refined taste throueitrt
the communicated it embraces in its ample
folds ever species Of intelligence that can tend to
this result.
Original Contributions,
from many Of the ablest writers in the South.
chlehy occupy Its columns, but not to the excIu-
sion OF choice miscellany, selected from the hest
American and European sources.
The. tone OF the "GaZette' is independent ~
criticism and in the discussion Of every legitimate
topic, but it is strictly
Neutral in Politics and Religion!
Its columns are occasionally embellished with
Southern Portraits and Lomdscapes,
engraved expressly for the work, and accompa-
MED by biographical and topngrap hcal sketches.

nNLA AGREEMENT OF THE CAPITOL

| ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution of
| that body, " to invite plans accompanied by est-
| mates for the extension Of the Capitol, and to al
low premium Of FIVE hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses Of Congress, "
delivered to the Secretary of the Senate or be-
fore the first day Of December next.
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise Of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mittee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide apportion, according
to their own judgment, the amount of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
Importance and merit Of each part adopted.
