HUGH X. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor.
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 Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-ctizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprlze, 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 a defence of them
selves and all they hold ear;-that it has been
warm unremitting, and far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their shee
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 eradcated, at a period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
knowit to be impossible.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.

D'Avignon.

EDITED by AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN
ITNDER this title will be published during the
- year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biograpbi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens W ho have become
illustrous in the service Of the country Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atte n
ton and nothing will be spared to render il wort Inv
nad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re
public
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
ery, and those which are being engraved for this
work believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment: Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established need any
mmendaiion His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and cngSavings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste 10 be fully
equal and in respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery viii be ta,op under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb STYLE as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % riches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in ITS scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names OF those men 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
ument 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 Union, will respond to our ap
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable an
undertaking, that It's publication may make era IN
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
instrious Of the U Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place

ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore,
established the following
