At the ioio price Of ONE DOLLAR per a,,,,,.n,

This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily

tiUGH X. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
1t is designedto make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--ts conductors
are Virginans, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-citizens.
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 a defence of them
selves and all they hold ar;-that it has been
warm unremitting, 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 it to be impossible.

| ENHANCEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
| L. The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution Of
that body, " to invite plans accompanied by est-
mates for the extension of the Capitol and to al
low premium Of FIVE hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses Of Congress, -
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day Of December next
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Cspitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection of separate and distinct building within
the enclosure to the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and Judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry OF the entire structure, when complete
| Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mittee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption Of parts of different plans
submitted should such be found necessaru; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
to their own judgment, the amount of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
Importance and merit of each part adopted

ground between the hasty, dsjoned and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the eabo
rate and ponderous yeatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals., and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is

the " Westminster Review y Liberal. The +" North

great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not

editorial Of every number from the first
to the present, and since the junior be-
came connected with the Office, he has
scarcely had time to leave for an hour
his necessary attendance upon the me-
chanical department. 1t will thus be
seen we have no time, just at present, to
run about the country collecting. We
have.stock to buy for our summers work,
and desire to make additions 10 the ma
terial of our establishment. Therefore,
we hope our friends will call, or send,
