At the lo.c price Of ONE DOLLAR per annum,
s the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
| Potomac, and 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. PLEAsANrs, 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 Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceve 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;-thar 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 il TO be impossible.

lished requires that the subscription be paid al

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution OF
that body, 4" 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, 4"
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.
II 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 of "a 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 to preserve the general
symmetry Of the entire structure, when complete
Although but one plan can be adopted, the CON-
mttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption Of parts Of different plans
submitted should sueh be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide npportion, 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.

FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty flour Portraits and Bographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
iustrious 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 worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men 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 10 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
recomme ndaion. His dagucrreotypes in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The dra wings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste 10 be fnlly
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 i'm
mediate supervision The typography will he exc
cuted carefully and in superb style as the
cravings themselves. The entire work will he on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by 23 inches, nade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout 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
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 Union, will respond to ap
peal for encouragement and aid in commendabe an
undertaking, that It's publication may make in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
iustrious OF the Union together, consolidate ii
still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America,
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.
