r. The Committee on Public Buildings Of the

mates for the extension of the Capitol and to al

fore the first day Of December next. , .."

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
| tbs enclosure to the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any

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 as to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
! Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mittee reserve themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submited should such course be found necessary; in
which event. the committee also reserve to them
selves the right TO divide or apportion, according
to their own Judgment, the amount ofpremium to

may in part be adopted. according to the relative
Importance and merit Of each part adopted.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS. ' .'"
Daguerreotypes by Brady--Engraved by
, =. D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
lustrous in the service of the country. Every por.
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten-
tion, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His dagucrreotypes are in tie
highest sense the works ct art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those Of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in as superb style as the ELI
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly FOR this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; it
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names Of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF the great de-
partments of life wl have its representatives. Art
and Literature areuniversal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of our glorious Union will respond to our ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in oconmendable
undertaking, that its publication may make an in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping TIE
illsrious Of the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly. L.#
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place ii
beyond the reach of most of citizens, the publish.
'crs have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
