At the io,o price OZONE DOLLAR per ann,um,
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 X. PLEAsANrs, 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-
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
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 instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
knowit to be impossible.
Blythe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
,cays in adpunee. 3nf

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF TLLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Dagueneotypes by Brady--Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN
Hinder this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
ustrious in the service OF the country Every por-
ton Of the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great pen of the Re-
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits a National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are 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.. Bradys
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 BY % chcs, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope ii
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names Of those men only are admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throug hout 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, viii respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commeDdablc
undertaking, that it's publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illnsrious men Of the Union together consolidate il
still more firmly
As no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place
beyond the reach OF most OF citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following
