EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
TTNDER this title win be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches of American citizens VINO have become
lustrious in the service of the country. Every por
don of the work will receive the most careful atten
on and nothing will be spared TO render il a wor by
mad enduring monument 10 the great men OF he Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, ~ collecting Portraits TOR National Gal
lery, and th0Ee which being engraved for thi,
work are believed TO be superior TO any that have
been taken, In the accomplishments 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 dagueneotypes are in the
highest sense 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 to be fully
equal and in some respGGb super1. 80 those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston In this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will he exc
cucd as carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will b" on
the finest imperial folio paper, 16 by % inches, nade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in ITS scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
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
umept to the great men OF the Republic whose
achievements and tame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of glorious Union, will respond to- APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable
undertaking, that lis publication may make IN
he progress of American Art, and by grouping TIE
illnstious of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
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
crs have respved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

PUBLISHED RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.,
At the to,o price Of ONE DOLLAR per ann,ni,
s the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the

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,
1t is designed to make it equal TO any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest In
tone and sentiment, 1t is Southern-its conductors
are VIrginians, and they hope to merit and
ceiye the encouragement of their fellOw-citiz ems
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;--thai it has been
warm unremiting, 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 II TO be impossible.
IfIhe low price at which the paper is pub
shed requires that the subscription be paid al
