At the lor price Of ONE DOLLAR per ana,pn,
I s the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
i Potomac, and as cheap any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting of the entertaining and
news matter Of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUGH r. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
II is designed to make it equal TO any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-citzens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rights is defence Of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
warm unremittng, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
il to presume that the principles aud ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it to be impossible.
Blythe low price at which the paper is pub
lshed requires that the subscription be paid al
,oays in aduance.

Along some bright stream,
To gather wild fowers,
My love and my theme;
That's blooming so lovely,
For you and for me-
Wild flowers! wild flowers,
love hath for thee.
When sorrow and sadness,
Depresseth the heart,
A ramble with Flora,
Will pleasure impdrt.
o sweet is the fragrance,
That skins DER the lea,
Wild flowers! wild flowers!
1t cometh from theel
When winter, cold winter,
Is vending his way,
And Nature resuming
Her loyllest day;
Rejoice then down hearted,
For surely she'll bring
Wild lowers! Wild flowers!
Sweet daughters of Spring
One remnant of Eden
Was chosen and left,
To cheer the lone earth with
Its oderous breath,
And deck the green mountain
So noble and free,
Wild howersi wild flowers!
1t truly was thee.
Thy home is tho wild wood,
The meadow and lawn,
Where gaiiy goes sporting,
The beautiful fawn;
The sweet dews Of evening,
Much welcome thy berth,
Wild flow ers! wild nowcrsl
Sweet angels Of earth.
Oh grant me this blessing,
