FubLisHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
At The losc price OF ONE DOLLAR per ann,tm,
7 s 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 r. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
1t 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-
ceve the encouragement Of their fellow-ctizens.
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;-thnt it has been
warm unremitting, 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
lnen rarely change their views. They, at least,
know it to be impossible.
I5The low price at which the paper is pub
shed requires that the subscription be paid al
nays in Advance.

Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, ct great

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.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerrcotypes are in TIE
highest sense the works OF ART glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste TO be fully
equal and in some respects superior 10 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
cutcd carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper l6 by 23 .chc. adc

followed each ohr- in quick succession, and OF which
the end not yet the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter

ground between the hasty, disjointed and
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous treatses to be furnished by the his
torisn at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is

plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
