Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great

object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men MIR. Brady,s

recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul

The drawings and engravngs OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste TO be fully

1t 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-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 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 as their capacity al
owpd, 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 period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it to be impossible.
IFThe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
