will be spared to make it
Il Choice Family Newspaper,
as cheap as the cheapest, and as good as tie
pest! Utterly discarding the notion that
oouthernlournal cannot compete with the North
ern weekhes, In cheapness and interest,
The Southern Literary Gazette
rivals the pest or them in all the characteristics OF
truly valuable hresde Journal. Its aim is tie
diffusion of cultivated and refined taste throuphc.t
the communty-and it embraces in its annie
foids ever species of intelligence that can tend to
this result.
Original Contributions,
from many of the ablest writer's in the South
chieny occupy Its columns, but not to the exclu
SION OF choice miscellany, selected from the hes
American and European sources.
The tone Of the "Gazette' is indenendent ;,
criticism and in the discussion OF every legitimate
topic, but il is strictly
Neutral in Politics and Religion
It's columns are occasionally embellished with
Southe'n Portraits and Landscapes
engraved expressly for the work; and accompa-

Its General Information
is copious, but carefully condensed from the
leading journals Of all parts of the world

PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
1T the Loio price OF ONE DOLLAR per annitnn,
5 the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
/ 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 r. 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-its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceve the encouragement of their fellow-citi7e 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;--that it has been
warm unremitting, 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 insted into them from their
birth, can be eradcated, at a period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it TO be impossible.
ITThe low price at which the paper is pub.
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
,oays in adpance.

GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK FOR 1859.
Increase OF Reading Matterl

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
l. present many novel features suited to the ad.
vancing demands Of the public taste. 1t has ever
been the object of the publisher to take the lead
among the popular Magazines of this country; and
the host OF imitators, who have been constantly
MISUNDERSTANDING after him In vain"-nre suff-
Gent to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests ia
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his
being very explicit and exact in his promises OF
what is yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. 1t is sufficient, however,
to say that all the existing popular features OF the
LApY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in Lady's Book and Fam-
y Magazine, will be introduced. The useful ard
the elegant will always be kept in view.
To the Magazines alone we must look for the
illusions of the master minds Of Literature. II is
useless to publish list of names-suffice it to say
that published articles, and have others to
publish from all the best A,nerican tcriters, male and
feR1ie.

temporary press will establish it, that it is the most
magnificent periodical in The Icorid,
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud Of,
and their price is ten dollars year.
II must be observed that the LADY's Book caters
to the taste of the American Ladies. 1t furnishes
