PUBLisHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.
At the io,u price Of ONE DOLLAR per AMMAN,
I S the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
/ Potomac, and as 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.
HUGH K. 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 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 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 it TO be impossible.
Blythe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
toays in adpance.

cal Sketches of American citizens W no have become
ilustnous 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 it wor, by
mad enduring monument to the great OF the Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged at great
expense, collecting Portraits TOR National Gal
lery, and 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 daguerreotypes are in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior 10 those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery viii be taken under his inn
mediate supervision The Typography win he exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work win he on
the 6nest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; il
win therefore be comprehe in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throug hou' the nation Each OF the great de
partments 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 our glorious MON, viii respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commcndablc an
undertaking, that It's publication may make era In
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
iustrous men of the Uaon together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work OF this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place ii
beyond the reach of most OF our citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following

BLACK WOODS MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Premiums to New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ buttons among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each othr 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 hasiy, discounted and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the elabo-
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 TO
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 EnglanJ-Tory, Wing and RIA

Tory the &C Edinburgh Review Wing; and
the " Westminster Review " Liberal. Thee North

ments of human knowledge il was originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers and now, since his death is con-
Quoted by his son-in-law Dr. Hanna associated with

very highest order. The Westminster though
reprinted under that title only, is published In Eng
land under the title of the " Foreign Quarterly and

Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa
rate titles II has therefore the advantage by this
combination Of uniting in work the best features
OF both as heretofore issued.
