FuBLIsHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.,
AT the lo,c price Of ONE DOLLAR per annun,
Is the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
Potomac, 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.
HuGH r. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
II 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 Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-ctizens
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;--that it has been
warm unremtting, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their she
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 Il period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
know it to be impossible.
IPIhe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
ipays in Advance.
