PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.


al the lou price Of ONE DOLLAR per a,q,sn,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
i Potomac, and as cheap any in the Union.
Ihis 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 X. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor
II is designed to make il equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are VnginIans, and they hope to merit and re-
ceIve the encouragement of their felIow-cit ems
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 dear;-tha il has been
warm unremlttng, and as far their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. 10 doubt that it will continue to be
so IS to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been inated 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
u5PThe low price at which the paper is pub-
llshed requires that the subscription be paid al
,unys IN advance.
