ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL

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 esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and 10 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-, I"
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 Cspitol,
either by additional wings, TO be PLACED on the
north and south of the present building, by the
erection of separate and distinct building, within
ths 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 as TO preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan be adopted, the com
miitee TO themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts of different plans
submitted should stich be found necessary; in
which event. the committee also reserve 10 them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
10 their own judgment, the amount of premium 10
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may id part be adopted. according to the relative
importance and merit OF each part adopted

HUcH r. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor
Il is designed to make il equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for it's general interest In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Vireinans, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-cilizens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprze, 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
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
il 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.

Negotiations with Spain,

The Washington correspondent of the n. Y,
Journal Of Commerce under date of November
18th, in reference TO the negotiations that have
been going on between Spain aaJ the L. s says ::
The President directed the negotiation, during
the absence of Mr. Webster, and he Limited his
demands, il is beles ed, to an exercise of clcmen-
cy and humanity ia regard 10 the prisoners, -ur-
ginS nothing about the fifty men taken and shot.
There have been no negotiations between Mr.
Webster and Mr. Calperoa for the release of the
prisoners. We have not demanded it,-bec.use
Spain has voluntarily proposed it.
In regard TO the reparaiion Justly due to the
Spanish Consul, that matter is now Satisfactorily
settled aud the offers made by MIR Webster
originally, and by the President conquered in,
hive Of course, already been sen, ont to Spain.
The same correspondent on the subject, Of Mr.
Wchster's resignation says:
4 letter appeared the other day ia New York
paper, stating that Mr. Webster ha, rendered his
resignation 10 the President 10 take effect n. the
meeting OF Congress. This was generally taken
as correct even here, and have We, seea no on

they do not believe il.
Again, we have a statement in New Orleans

haps, TO purposes at one time entertained, and
which may not be entertained, and which may
not be carried into effect
