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 VIrglnians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow citizens
They enter upon no mere speculation ia their en-
terprlze, 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 Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rg hts is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that il has been
warm unremtt!ng, and as far 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 instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
know IL to be impossible.
