A GREAT NATIONAL WORK,

Dagueneotypes by Brady--Engraved by
D'Avignon.
EDITED by AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.

EDITED by AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Bographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens no have become
llusrious in the service of the country Every por-
ton of the work will receive the most careful
ton, and nothing will be spared TO render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great of he 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
been taken. In the accomplishment: Of this great
inject he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
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 in 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 he exc

The finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive IN its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation Each Of the great de
partments of life wr 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 of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend of glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for cement and aid in commendable
undertaking, that It's publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
illustrous 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 citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
Ia 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, +"
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.
Ii is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension Of the Cspito,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, by the
erection Of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure the east Of the building
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condiuon, 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
mlttee 10 themselves the right TO form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such course be found necessary in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apporton according
to their own Judgment the amount Of premium to

may in part be adopted, according to the relative
importance and merit Of each part adopted.

1t is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for it's 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 feow-citzens
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 il has been
warm unremiting, and far their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
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
