At the lo,o price OF ONE DOLLAR per aa,,,.,n,
| ) the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
j 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.
HUGH r. 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-
ceve the encouragement of their fellow tizens.
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, ffom choice, they are 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
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.
UTThe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
| rays in advance.

Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, ~ collecting Portraits tor National Cal
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 MIR. 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 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 be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper I6 BY % i-.ches rade

This work has nothing sectional in ITS scope j,

partments of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring

undertaking, that It's publication may make IN

As no work Of this kind has appeared in Amenca,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most OF citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
