At the loao price Of ONE DOLLAR per ann,.n,
s the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
/ 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.
HUGH K. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
1t is designed TO make ii equal 10 any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--ts conductors
are VTginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceve the encouragement of their fellow-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 Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rights is a defence Of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
warm unremittng, 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 eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
knowit 10 be impossible
IIThe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al

QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums to New Subscribers

Owing to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ buttons among the nations oil Europe, which have
followed each othr- in quick succession, and OF which
the end NOT yet" the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasiy, dsjoned, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers and the eabo-
rate and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals., and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their last, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
