ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution of
that body, " to invite plans accompanied by est-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low a premium Of five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses Of Congress, :"
accordingly invite such plans and estimates to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day Of December next ri
II is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension Of the Cepitol
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
the enclosure to the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrnin the free exercise Of
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 to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such course be found nscessary in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
to their own judgment, the amount of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted according to the relative
Importance and merit OF each part adopted

At the Io,O price Of ONE DOLLAR per annun,,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
j Potomac, and as cheap as 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.
HUcH X. PLEAsARTs, Principal Editor.
It is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. LIN
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
celve the encouragement of their feow-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, nom 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
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,
know il to be impossible.
UTThe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
ioays in adrance.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.


TTNDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twentyfour Portraits and BiogT Taphi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens rho have become
ilusrious the service OF the country Every por-
ton of the work win receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits tor National Gal
iery, 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.. Bradys
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance
The drawings and engravngs 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 i'm
mediate supervision, The typography win he exc
cuted as carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper by % ,achcs pade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names OF those only admitted w hose 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 10 be worthy and enduring mon
umcnt 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 glorious Union, will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in commendablc an
undertaking, that its publication may make era in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
ilstrious of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
Asno work of this kind has appeared in America,
and thepricos they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF most Of our citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
