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
II is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for it's general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow ems.
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;-that it has been
warm unremitting, 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
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instiled into them from their
birth, can be eradcated, 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 ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady--Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
lustrous in the service Of the country. Every por
ton Of the work will receive the most careful atten
ton, and nothing will be spared to render worthy
mad enduring monument to the great OF the Re
public
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are 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 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
best artists Of London and Paris and every inn
preston this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in as superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; it
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-
parmcnts OF life wlll have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
ument 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 glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commcndablc
undertaking. that its publication may make an era in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
illustrous OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and 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,
