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 Virginans, and they hope to merit and re,
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-citizens.
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 unremittlng, and as far their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been nstilled 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

The committee do not desire to prescribe any

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION or LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the

mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re
public
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work believed to be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishments 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 dagucrrcotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living couptenencp,
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste TO be fully
equal and in some 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
cued carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 6 by % iuches, made
expressly for this purpuso.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be compre ehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame Throughout. the nation Each of the great de
partments Of life Will have its representatives. Art
and Literature are universal 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 thatevery lover of Art, and
friend of our glorious Union, win respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in so commendable
undertaking, that lis publication may make IN
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
lusrious Of the Union together, consolidate II
still more frmly.S
As no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and The prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most Of citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

EvENING.-There are two periods in the life
of man in which the evening hour is peculiarly
interestingly youth and in old age. In youth,
we love it for It's mellow moonlight, its million
of stars, its thin, rich and shooting shades, its
still serenity; amid those who can commune
with our loves, or Irvine the wreaths of friend
ship, while there is none to bear US witness but
the heavens and the spirits that hold their end
less Sabbath Thereon look into the deep bosom
of creation, spread abroad like canopy above
us, and look and listen till we cnn almost see
and hear the waving wings and melting songs of
other worlds.-To youth evening is delightful;
it accords with the flow of his light spirits, the
tervor of his fancy, and the sofiness of his heart
Evening is, also, the delight of virtuous age; it
seems an emblem of the tranquil close of busy
placid, and mild, with the impress
of its Creator stamped upon ii; it spreads it quiet
wings over the grave, and seems to promise
that all shall be peace beyond it.
