PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
at the lo,o price Of ONE DOLLAR per annatm,
T S the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
j 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 II. PLEAsANTs, 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 fellow 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, ffom choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is a defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
warm unremtting, and as far as their capacity al
lowed vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
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,
know il to be impossible.
Blythe low price at which the paper is pub
shed requires that the subscription be paid al
icays in advance.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution of
that body, {" to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low premium OF five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by The Committees on
Public Buildings Of the two Houses Of Congress, 4"
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, TO be
delivered 10 the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day OF December next.
Ii is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise OF
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan be adopted, the COM
mitee reserve TO themselves the right TO form such
plan by the adoption Of parts of different plans
submitted, should such be found necessary; in
which event. the committee also reserve TO them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
to their own judgment, the amount of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted. according TO the relative
Importance and merit OF each part adopted
