Hag PROSPECTUS THE
Weekly National TnteIligencer.

In compliance with numerous solicitations the
publication of the Weekly National Intelligence,
was resumed on Thursday, November goth, 1867
1t is much enlarged, and is, in fact, one of the
largest weekly newspapers published in this coun
try. 1t is printed with new and clear type, OIL
strong, fine white paper and will contain more
reading matter than any weekly published south
of New York. Ite columns are devoted to news
literature, commerce, agriculture. the industrial
arts, the interests of religion and political affairs
1t contains regular reports of Congressional
proceedings and Departmental news, and the latest
foreign and domestic markets. IL
In each of its departments special attention is
given by an able and numerous corps of editors
and reporters to provide the latest, most interest
ing and reliable intelligence, and to make the
Weekly National Intelligencer in every respect a
first class family newspaper.
Maintaining the just Constitutional powers OF
the General Government on the one hand and re-
served rights of the States on the other, confident
that the Union can be preserved only while the
rights of each shall be respected by both and not
transcende1 by either, the Weekly National Intel
ligencer will advocate the restoration of the
Southern States to their place in the Union, on
the basis of just and equal representation in the
national legislature and the electoral college, and
will urge social and sectional pacifcaton and re-
Cancellation the means of restoring harmony
and prosperity to all parts of the country, and the
proper development Of its vast agricultural mine
raj and industrial resources. In addition to its
value as miscellaneous newspaper, the lntelll-
gencer will in every respect supply the place of a
national Union campaign paper. 1t will be the
only weekly paper of, this character published at
the seat of Government. 1t rests with the friends
of the Union aud the Constitution to secure this
paper circulation that shall enable it to spread
the truth and to arouse the patriotic impulses of
the people in every State county, town, hamlet
and Preside, where truth and patriotism are ap
precated.
Terms-payabe in advance. One copy, one
year, So; six months, 81 so. Five copies, one
year, $40. DAILY Intelligencer, yearly, $40; tri-

Lilly Maude.

BY W. II. T.
Lily Maude! oh, tiny flower,
Of precious mould
Than eer grew in sylvan bower,
Or leaves unfold.
Thy darksome eyes, like sunshine BRIGHT.
Shine radiant now,
With gladstone beams of quest light,
Across thy brow.
The Graces round thy form entwine,
Their favors rar.;
For Beauties on thy features shine,
All beaming, fair
Affections round thee closely cling,
Like spiral Vine
Where N ature forms woodlond swing,
In folds entwine.
Where chrystal waters silent stand
In deep repose,
Where dropping willows shade the sand,
The lily grows,
The tairest flower with fragrance rare.
Sweet Natures bride,
TO perfume all the summer s air.
Across the tide
Thus Lily Maude, thou gentle child.
Gift precious, rare,
More lovely than the flower wild.
Whose name you bear.
May golden sunbeams round thee shine.
Through feeting years,
And make thy life sweetly divine.
All free from tears
