EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-iour Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
illusrious in the service Of the country Every por-
ton Of the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il worth hy
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
lery, 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
ob,cc, 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 the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the living counenance.
The dra wings 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 i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will he exc
cuted carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 16 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in IFS scope il
viii therefore be compre hensive in its spirit. The
of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF the great de-
patments Of life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their SPIRIT and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
umcnt td the great 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 commendable
undertaking, that it's publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
ills!rious Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly
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 our citizens the publish
have resolved TO merit a large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following

that body, (" TO invite plans ACCOMPANIED by esti-
mates for the extension Of the Capitol and to al
low 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.
II Is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Cspitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south N 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 anv
conditon, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
nave such reference TO and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry Of the entire structure, when complete.

PuBLisHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
Al the lo'c price Of ONE DOLLAR per annuna,
> the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i 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.
HUGH II. 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 Vrginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-citizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprlze, 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 il has been
warm unremitting, and 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 instiled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at a period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know 1t to be impossible.
IT-The low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
ways in advance.

Premiums to New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter revo-
" lu'ions among tho nations of Europe, which have
followed each othcr in quick succession and of which
the end is not yet," the leading periodicals of rea,
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown They occupy middle
ground between the hasiy, dsjoned and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers and the clabo-
and ponderous treatses To be rns he'd by the his
toran at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their Inst, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,

the ee Westminster Review D Liberal. The 20 North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not
ultra in its views on any one o. the grand depart
mcnts Of human knowledge it was originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his death. is con-
Quoted by his son-inlsw DIR. Hanna associated with
Sir David Brewster. It's literary character is of the
very highest order. The "Westminstei," !" though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng

Westminster - il being in fact union OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa-
rate titles II has therefore the advantage by this
combination OF uniting in work the best features
of both as heretofore issued.
