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 citixens
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 a defence Of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that il has been
warm unremtting, 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 it to be impossible.

lished requires that the subscription be paid al

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATIONS OF LITERARY MEN
Under this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and BiogTaphi-
cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
iustrous in the service OF the country Every por-
ton of the work will receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great OF the Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work 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 dation. His daguerreotypcs are in the
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 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 be 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 % .chcs made
expressly for this purpose
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 honorable
iame throu9hou, the nauon r.ach oil the great de-
partments OF life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument 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 APP
peal for encouragement and aid in conmcndable
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illustrious OF the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond tho reach Of most OF citizens the publish
crs have resolved To merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore,
