At the loo price Of ONE DOLLAR per anm,m,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i Potomac, and 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.
HucH r. 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 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
is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been insiilled 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.
G3-The low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
| rays in Advance.

ground between the bas'y, dsjonted, and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the eiabo

therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention TO
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
