EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and BiogTaphi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
llustrious inthe service OF the country Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument TO the great OF the Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, ~ collecting Porti ants Tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior 10 any that have
been taken. In the Accomplishment. of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
commentator. His daguerreotypes in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living counenance.
The dra vings and engravings of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste 10 be fully

cravings themselves The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, ade

This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them ar honorable
fame through the nation. Each of the great de.
partmcnts of life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of our glorious non will respond to our APP
peal for encourag nent and aid in commendable an
undertaking, that lis publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
iustrious 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
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

this result.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution Of
that body, a" 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
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension Of the Capitol,
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
tbs enclosure to the east Of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition. that may restrain 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 to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts of different plans
submitted, should such be found necessary in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right 10 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.

This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily

light literature and poetry.
IiUGH II. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
II is designed to make it equal TO any Weekly

tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-

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;--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

which have been insted into them from their
