dt The iotc price OF ONE DOLLAR per ann,,n,
5 the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
L Potomac and as cheap 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.
HUGu X. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
IL Is designed TO make II 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-
terprze, 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 ghts is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
warm unremittlng, and 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,
know 1t TO be impossible.
uFThe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
ioGys in Advance.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
| Under this title will be published, during the
! ~ year 1850, twenty-iour Portraits and Geographic
cal Sketches OF American citizens W no have become
lusrious 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 wort hy
mad enduring monument TO the great men Of The Re
public.
! Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits a National Gal
lery, end those which 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. Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recommendation. His daguercotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenancc.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon hay e
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 i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision. The typography will he exc
cuted carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the nest imperial folio paper, 6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope /; il
viii therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names of those only are admitted whose talents
| and public services have won for them an honorable
lame throughout the nation Each of the great de-
parments of life wil have its representatives. Art
and Literature arc 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 commendable an
undertaking, that lis publication may make era in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illnstrous men Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As work of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF most of our citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
chnrging.a very low price. They have, therefore,

Extract FROM the Circular Of the Rcysl Commits
so'sess
The Commissioners have felt that it would be
desirable, as far possible, To prevent any per-
sons from sending hither articles which cannot be
admitted, rather than to reject the articles after
their arrival in London. They feel also tbat ths
delicate and responsible task Of deciding on he
admission or rejection Of articles destined for ex-
hibItion by foreign contributors oughtn not TO be i'm
posed upon any Fnglish tribunal, but should be
referred To one lving the condolences of the exh;
bltors themselves, and standing entirely free from
possible .nputations of national Partially. They
acccr .ngly propose to admit to exhibition such
foreign articles only as may be forwarded to them
by the Central Authority (whatever may be its
nature) IN each country. They viii communicate
to such Central Authority the amount Of space
which can be allowed to the productions Of the
country for which it acts, and will also state the
conditions and limitations which may from time
to time be decided ON with respect the admissions
OF articles. All articles forwarded by such Cen
trial Authority will then be admitted provided thew
do not require greater aggregate amount Of
space than that assigned to the productions Of the
country from which they come and, provided.
also, that they do not violate the conditions and
limitations OF which due notice shall have been
gwen 1t will rest with the Central Authority in
each country to decide upon the merits Of the
several articles presented for exhibition, and To
take care that those which sent are such as
fairly represent the industry Of their feIlowcoun-
'rymen.

Extracts from the Journal Of

EEracts from Tie Journal ot----.
BY THE AUTHOR OF THE LITTLE KID sLIPpER &c.
Some two years ago very dear friend
placed in my hands large, closely writ
ten volume-a journal which he had
kept for several Years. Little did he
dream when writing it, or when placing
it in my charge, any of its contents
should ever be spread before the public.
at was written" he informed me when
placing it in my hands to peruse,-if |
could find anything in it to interest me
and to keep till his return from Eu-
rope, whittier he had gone for his health,
''to while away a tedious hour, and to
afford me IN the hereafter, melancholy
pleasure in reading over, and recalling
my own painful, as well as pleasant feel
ings and experiences :"
But he never returned! He sleeps
the sleep of death on foreign soil, and
| do not think am betraying any con.
hdence in making public some of the
experiences" of one, who gifted with
fine feelings, was doomed to struggle
against circumstances which he could
not control.
The "extracts" | give below, ever
possessed deep interest for me-per-
haps it was because was intimate with
the noble-hearted being who was the
object Of my friends alteration; but
whether they afford the general reader
either interest or pleasure is more than
can say. If they do, more shall be Civ
en-. If not my generous and lamented
friends eart-transcripts', shall serve as
the instructor and guide, to a great
study, of one who loved and appreciated,
and who, | may add, without vanity,
was beloved by the early dead--peace
to his memory!
Aug. Is, 1874. How YEARLY the hours pass!
Many and many time before, with a mind too
intense for sleep have sat here gazing on the
stars, and listening to the ticking ofthe old clock
every stroke of whose pendulum thrilled my
very soul, as the hours glded slowly, o how
slowly, into the dim and misty past. But never
| before have felt that ardent and unsatsfable
yearning-a yearnng for know not what--that
| NOW ieel. met Ilcleha " to-uay LOT the
first time, and now feel she is a congcnial
spirit, and pant for communion with her, even
''as the hart panteth after the water brooks -
The hazle-rod is attracted Ivy, and drawn toward
the water which flows concealed in the bosom OF
the earth. So believe it is with hearts. When
two persons whose pursuits, tastes, feelings are
the same--particularly if they are of different
sexes, meet, they sympathise with each other
and feel thrill of instant recognition. But
why do write thus? Why do presume Helena
feels as do, or for moment thinks of me
Away such vain and idle thoughts!---But can
not sleep--l can not lead--l can not write, for
| gazing at me. and can not go on
tug. Is. ! am restless and dissatisfied. |
