AT the loao price OF ONE DOLLAR per amman,
rs 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.
HUGH Il. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
IL is designed to make 1t equal TO any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment it is Southern-its conductors
are VrginIans, and they hope to merit and re-
ceve the encouragement of their fellow-ctizens
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 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 instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at a period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
know 1t TO be impossible.
nEThe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
rays in Advance.

owing to the late revolutions and counter-revo-

followed each other in quick succession, and OF winch
the end is not yet" the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground batween the hasty, disointed and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the elabo
rate and ponderous teases to be furnished by the his

therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers The following is
