At the lO,c price Of ONE DOLLAR per annum,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the

This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily

light literature and poetry.
HUGH K. 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 Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rights is a 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

which have been instilled into them from their

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a 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.
1t is required that these Plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south Of the present building, or by the
erection ola 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 as to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete
Although but one plan can be adopted the COM
nittee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such be found necessary; 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

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE

BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Premiums to New Subscribers.

Owing to the late revolutions and counter revo-
" lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and OF which
the end is NOT yet" the leading periodicals Of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, dsjoned and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the cabo
rate and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered TO subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE. WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained he views, mode

three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and RAJ
