"A,
fit the lo,o price OF ONE DOLLAR per ann,.m,
I s the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i Fotomac, 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.
ttUGH 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, it is Southern--ts conductors
are Virginians, and they hope TO merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their feow-citzens.
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 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. 10 doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been insted into them from their
birth, can be eradcated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know 1t to be impossible.
I5Ihe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
,oays in advance.

fore the first day OF December next.
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol

north and south of the present building, or by the
erection of 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 NAV

the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete
