"A,
At the iotc price Of ONE DOLLAR per ann,,nn,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
1 Potomac, and as cheap 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.
HUcH X. 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--iis conductors
are Vlrginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their feow-cit2ens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor ere 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;--thal it has been
warm unremlttng, 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 insted into them from their
birth, can be eradcated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
know it TO be impossible
DFIhe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al

followed each ohr- in quick succession, and of which
the end is not yct," the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy a middle
ground between the hasy, disointed, and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the elabo
rate and ponderous eatises to be furnished by the his
toran at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem il proper TO call renewed attention To
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their ist viz
