mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, az collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes arc in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
hest artists OF London and Paris and every i'm.

As no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place it
beyond the reach Of most OF citizens, the publish

charging very low price. They have, therefore,

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-

They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprze, 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;-hat it has been
warm unremiting, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be

which have been instilled into them from their

that body, to invite plans accompanied by esti-
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 Capitol,
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 anv
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed NAV

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 course be found necessary: in

be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted according to the relative
