The Small Note Nuisance.

The Ohio Patriot gives the following as its
opinion in the matter
The difficulty in The way Of aboishing
small notes that existed here tofore, was, that
bne State acted at time. and when she BAN
lshed the small notes of her own Banks,
those Of other States would flow in and fill
The vacuum, rendering matters worse, and
compelling her TO authorize reissue ofsmall
notes by her own Banks. This method of
beginning was wrong All the States should
unite and make common cause against the
huisance. By removing the less valuable
circulation, gold would have chance to
perform its Office Of furnishing safe, sound
and beautiful currency. We second the
suggestion Of the Cincinnati Enquirer with
sl our heart. Let the Legislature of Ohio at
IT'S present session, authorize the Governor to
enter into negotiation with all small note
Issuing States for the purpose Of forming a
mutual agreement for abolishing their issue,
Ind calling in those 10 circulation gradually
1t the same time. This is the true method
Of working remedy, and Ohio, distinguish
ed above all other States for her efforts in
flvor of ia sound currency. is pre- eminently
lhe proper party to make the first move"

PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
At the Io,o price Of ONE DOLLAR per an,,,sn,
I s the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
/ Potomac, and as cheap as 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. PLEAsANTs, 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
Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow citizens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprze, nor are their views and opiniens 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 dear;-that it has been
warm unremitinS, and as far rs 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.

lished requires that the subscription be paid al

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF MLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Dagueneotypes by Brady---Engraved by
DAvignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
TrNDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biograph-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
illustrious in the service OF the country Every por
ton Of the work will receive the most careful atten
tion and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great OF the Re-
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, "a collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work believed to be superior TO any that have
been taken In the accomplishments 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 daguerrcotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The dra wings 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
best artists Of London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
cued as carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will b" on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose
This work has nothing sectional in ITS scope; if
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have Won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each Of the great de-
partmcnts of life will have its representatives Art
aud Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intondcd to be worthy and enduring mon
unent to the great men Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend of our glorious Mon, will respond to ap-
peal for eucouragemcnt and aid in commcndable an
undertaking, that It's publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illusrious of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America,
aud the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of most of our citizens, the publish
ers have resolved TO merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following
