Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great

ever been taken In the accomplishments of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Bradys
reputation has been too long established to need any
recomnend aion. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The dra wings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm

At the Io,o price Of ONE DOLLAR per annun,,
I s the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i 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.
HucH R. PEASANTS, 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-its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their feow-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 unremiting, 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 eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
knowi it to be impossible.

lished requires that the subscription be paid al
