THE WEEKLY DISPATCH,
PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,

At tie io,o price Of ZONE DOLLAR per ann,,n,,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
j Potomac, and as 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
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 felow-citiz ems.
ihey 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 unremltting, 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 instled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
knOwit to be impossible.

llshed requires that the subscription be paid al
