cal Sketches of America citizens who have become
nlusrious in the service of the country Every por-
ton of the work will receive TIE most careful atten
ton, aid nothing will be spared to render worthy
rad enduring monument to the great men OF he Re-
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, N collecting Portraits TOR a National Gal
iery, und those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior TO any that have
been taken In the Accomplishment. of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men MIR. 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 dra wings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste TO be fully
equal and ~ some 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 carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will b" on
the finest imperial folio paper, 10 by Is nches made
expressly for this purpose
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
Will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
Of those only are admitted w hose talents
and public services have for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
parments 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 glorious Union will respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in so commendable an
undertaking, that It's publication my make an era in
he progress of american Art, and by grouping the
lnstriods 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 il
beyond the reach Of of our citizens the publish
eFs haVe resolved 70 merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
establ ished the following
The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1851-10-10

AT The loip price OF ONE DOLLAR per anntrn,
I s 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
HUGH r. PLEAsANTs, 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 Virginans, 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, 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 instiiled into then from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life Whfn
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it to be impossible
