3 the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the

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 X. 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 ciz ems.
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
erest, from choice, they Southern men. Their
defence or Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;--thnt it has been
warm unremittlng, and MS far their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sh Get
will deny. To doubt that il will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and 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,
knowit to be impossible.

Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits ior National Gal

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 daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works ot art glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
