THE WEEKLY DISPATCH,

PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
IN the lotc price OF ONE DOLLAR per annun.
rs the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
Potomac, and 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 r. PEASANTS, Principal Editor.
Ii il designed to make 1t equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--ts conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement Of their felIow-citizens.
They enter upon mere speculation in their en-
terprze, are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, ftom in
tcrest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is defence Of them
selves and all they hold ear,--that it has been
warm unremitting, and far az their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been insted into them from their
birth, can be eradcated, at a period Of life when
men rnrely change their views. They, at least,
know il to be impossible.

The submission resolutions reported by the
committee Of thirteen in the Virginia house of
delegates, and based on tho resolutions offered
by Hon. r. +. ScoTT, have passed that body al
most unanimously - Wings and Democrats,
Southern rights men and submissionists, all
uniting in the most marvellous concord This
is the body which passed in l848 resolution
declaring they would resist, at all hazards, a law
of Congress abolshing the slave trade in the
District Of Columbia.
When ELISHA, the prophet foretold to NAA-
MAN, the Syrian, the sins he was going to CON-
nit, the Syrian asked Indignantly, " Is thy SER
want dog, that he should do this thing"
Virginia Wanted that she would resist at all
hazards and to the last extremity She has ar
rived at the last extremity without resisting
she has sacrificed more without hazard, than
she could have done with it-and she has passed
under the Caudine forks.-Sic transit gloria

nF5- The N. Y. Star says:


The FUNERAL OF MAJOR NOAH took place
yesterday afternoon from his former residence
624 Broadway. The attendance, both those OF
his own persuasion and of Christians, was very
large, for all such creeds and parties respected
and loved his truly kind and benevolent charac-
ter. Many members Of the city press were pres
ent. Among them we noticed Mr. Greedy,
Messrs. Morris and Willis, and all or nearly all
of the editors and press proprietors of the Sun
day papers, The procession offoot, headed by
the Hebrew benevolent society and two other
Hebrew organizations, extended for nearly half
mile. On arriving at the Hebrew burying
ground in 2lst street, the coffin was lowered
into the grave, and after the conclusion of the
low and plantive chaunt which follows this cere-
mony il the Jewish services, the eloquent Dr.
Raphael pronounced touching and most APP
proprate eulogy on the public and private life
of the deceased. The last solemn act of shutting
out the dead from the presence of the living was
then performed, and we turned away with
heavy heart from the last resting place of our
venerable friend. Never did the earth rest upon
a kindier heart Would that there were more
Christians like Major Noah for he was an honor
not only to his people but to human nature.
