A GREAT NATIONAL WORK
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS
Daguerrcotypes by Brady Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
Under this title will be published, during the
u year 1885, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
lustrious in the service Of the Country. Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared render it worth by
mad enduring monument to the great of he Re
public
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged at great
expense, ~ collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved Tor this
work are 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 MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living coun,enance.
The dra wings and engraviDgs of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to 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 as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % riches, rade
expressly for this>burpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be compre hensive in it's spirit The
names Of those only admitted whose talents
and public services have Won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF 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
umcnt 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 MON, will respond to APP
peal for encourag, ment and aid in commendabe n
undertaking, that lis publication may make IN
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illnstrious OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of moot Of citizens the publish
ers hnve resolved Ia merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by Il resolution OF
that body " to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to 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, "
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 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 to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but plan be adopted, the com
mittee to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted should such course be found necessaru in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide apportion, according
TO their own Judgment, the amount of premium TO
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
importance and merit Of each part adopted

1t is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for it's general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Virgnans, and they hope to merit and re-
ceve the encouragement Of their fellowctizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor 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 far 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 nstilled 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.
