plan which may be adopted by the Committees on

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 as to preserve the general

At the to,c price Of ONE DOLLAR per annunl,
I S the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of tht
/ 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 K. 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--ts conductors
are Virginians and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement Of their felow-citizens.
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 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 eradicaed, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views. They, at least,
know it to be impossible.
G5-The low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
ioays in Advance.
