| 5 the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the

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.

1t is designed to make il 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-
celve the encouragement Of their fellow citizens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprze, 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 unremitting, and as 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 inslilled 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
NTThe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
rays in advance.

Whig District Convention.

We insert to-day a suggestion, proceeding
from number ofthe Wings of this city, that the
Wing district Convention should meet In Rich
mond on the 9th, of September. That day, we
presume, will be unobJectionable to any, as 1t al
lows an intervening court day to each county,
and we hope the Wings of all the counties
will on their Court days, hold meetings and ap-
point their delegates. We again urge upon our
friends the importance of all entering freely into
these primary conferences, that they may candidly
counsel together as to the best man to be selected
as the bearer Of our standard. If this course be
pursued, the unhappy results, which may result
from discordant preferences, will be averted. All
ought to agree that the Wing, who can obtain
the strongest vote in the district should be chosen
as the candidate.
Ifthe Wings of any county have anticipated the
appended suggestion we doubt not it will be the
pleasure of the Wings of every other county to
adopt the day named in their proceedings, for the
meeting of the District Convention.
To the Wigs of the Metropolitan District.
1t is sugges ed that Tuesday, 9th September
should be the appointed time, at which the Wing Dis
trict Convention will meet in the city Of Richmond
Thi, day has, after some consuta ton, been fixed up
on as af,rding time for the appointment of delegates
and also for effecting of action in the
Richmond daily times. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1853, 1851-08-13
RAILROAD MEETING.

At a meeting OF a portion of the people of Washing
ton County, held in Abingdon, Monday, July 2Sth
the Virginia and Tennessee Rail Road, the meeting
was called to order by DR.. Daniel Trigg, on whose
motion, Wyndham Robertson, Esq, was appointed
Chairman, and Isaac B. Dunn, Secretary.
Mr.. Robertson, in a short but pertinent address, ex-
planned the object of the meeting. John A. Campbell
Esq, also addressed the meeting, and after few ap.
propflaie remarks-sethng iorlh the condition and
ierred the following resolutions
l. Resolved, That every day furnishes the proof and
strengthens the conviction that cheap, quick and
venent means Of transportation for the people and their
produce, has become the only plan by which the pros
perty OF any community can be attained or secured.
2 Resolved, That to The want of such means is it
manly owing that country whose soil, climate, pro-
ducuons and mineral resources, entite il to bear off the
palm Tor numbers, ath and prosperity, should suffer
increasing pressure and embarrassment and with them
the frequent ;oss OF valuable citizens.
8. Resolved, That will do all that in us lies, to
wipe off this reproach from old Washington, and re-
