This paper Is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting Of the entertaining and

light literature and poetry.
HuGn K. PEASANTS, Principal Editor
IL 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 Vrginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceiye the encouragement Of their fellow -ctize 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 or Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremittng, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sh eet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They at least
know it to be impossible.
