IL NLARGENENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution of
that body, Il" 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. -
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary of the Senate ON or be-
fore the first day Of December next.
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Cepitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south q 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 TO preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mttee reserve TO themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such course be found neeessary 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

THE WEEKLY DISPATCH.
PUBLIsHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,


AT the Iotc price Of ONE DOLLAR per a,num,
3 the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
i 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 K. PEASANTS, Principal Editor.
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-
ceve the encouragement of their fellow citizens.
Ihey 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 unremlttng, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
80 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 1t to be impossible.

lished requires that the subscription be paid al
,payS in advance.
