I 8 the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
Potomac, and as cheap a. 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 X. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor.
II is designed 70 make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for it's general interest In
tone and sentiment, it il Southern Its conductors
are Virginians, 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 ear;-that il has been
warm unremitting and AZ far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their she
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instled 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.

lished requires that the subscription Be paid al

Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at grea,

reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in the
