THE WEEKLY DISPATCH,
PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,


At the lo,0 price Of ONE DOLLAR per an,lupn,
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 X. PLEAsANrs, 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
are Virgnians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow citizens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprlze, 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 Southern men. Their
defence or Southern rights is a defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
warm unremtting, 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 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

II The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution Of
that body, ito 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.
Ii is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Csptol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
the enclosure to the east Of the building
The committee do not desire to prescribe anv
condiuon, 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 to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan be adopted the COM
mttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide 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

BLACK WOODS MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.

owing to the late revolutions and counter-revo
" lutions among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each ether in quick succession, and of which
the end not yet," the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree Of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy a middle
ground between the hasty, DISCOUNTED and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the elabo
rate and ponderous treatses to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
