THE WEEKLY DI6PATCH,
PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,


At the lo,c price Of ONE DOLLAR per anns.,n,
7 s the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the

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 K. 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 Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow citizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular bseeze. 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 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
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 it to be impossible.

shed requires that the subscription be paid al

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
II The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution of
that body, +" to invite plans accompanied by est-
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
the 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 reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts of different plans
submitted, should such be found necsssary
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide npportion, 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.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF JLLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS
Daguerreotypcs by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.


EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
Under this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty y-our Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
llustrious in the service Of the country Every por-
ton of the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be sparedto render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men of the Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, .1 collecting Portraits National Gal
lery, end those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
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
recommen ndaion. His daguerrcotypes in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
The dra wings and engravings of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in as superb style az the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by 23 inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope ; il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partnents of life Will have its representatives. Art
md Literature universal in their SPIRIT and the
Gallery is intendedto be worthy and enduring
unent 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 our glorious Union, will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in commcpdable an
undertaking. that its publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
lustroos men 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,
established the following
