followed each othe- in quick succession, and of which
the end is not yct," the leading periodicals. of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy a middle
ground between the hasty, DISCOUNTED and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo
rate and ponderous eases to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper 10 call renewed attention
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is

At the to,o price " ONE DOLLAR per annu,n,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i 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 X. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
Ii is designed to make it equal TO any Weekly
sheet in the Union for it's general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are VTgInians, 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 defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that il has been
warm unremittng, 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 instled 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.
U3@The low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
rays in advance.
