ing:
THE SURRENDER OF GEN. LEE.
The news of the surrender of Leo's
army to Gen. Grant had created a groqt
'unisation in Europe. The London T' mes
says:
. -The end has come at last, and the
great American war is virtually closed
4y. Lee's surrender of the Virginia army.
The tone of the correspondence between
Generals Giant and Lee is honorable to
both., The conditions were such as it
-was no disgrace for an overmatched
army to.accept. Not. even Napoleon's
grand army could count a series of more
brilliant victories titan. the Army of
Virginia. They were victorious until
vietoty was no longer to be achieved by
lbnfmmt valor, and then they fell widx
hbnor.' Twvo years agd Leo might have
-escaped to Lynchburg, but now the
Fodeal Gen&als move with as qitick
rapidity and attack as Napoleon's Mar.
shale. The Federal army is entitled to
rank among the very first of military
iations. All attempts to establish -a
Southern Confederacy tnnst be aban.
donled."
Notwithstanding tlje strong sympathy
f ' for the South at Liverppol, the in
teiiigence of Lee's surrender was received
with great satisfaction, cauising an in.
creased confidence in commercial circles.

Prospectus of. "The Age."
T HE undersigned has commenced, in the
- City of Itlohmond, the publication of
a Monthly 31agazine, under the above title.
It prosents to its readers selections from
the best European Periodicals, of Joiterary
and Scientific articles, of Novels and Sket
ches, which, having already received the
iinpriniature of an enlightened tasto, canbot
but prove accoptablo to the Southern'public.
The effort will be miade to keep the readers
of the Magazine as nearly as possible abreast
of the literary progress of the age. Arrang
nents have been made which, it is hoped,
will enable the proprietors to seouro this
end.
The Magazine also presents original articles
from our best writers; in all .departments,
and a special aim of the proprietors of this
periodical will be to foster Southern author
ship by offering an adequate and remuner
ative field for its exercise. They will not,
however, under the plea of this design, ei
courage, by reproduction in Us columns,
that clasp of compositions which create a
vivid and unhealthy taste, to be stated only
by that hybrid literature which ingenuity
has contrived, under the name of sensa
tional roman. .
The Industrial Resources and the Educa
tional Interests of the ,South will re
ceive the ireportant share of attention they
deserve. In tho development of thqso iues
tions, its object w'ill bo to make a practical
application of the doctrine of States Rgights
to theopolicy of the country. It. will endeav
or to explain the dilssloi of t he Confederacy,
which is to demonstrate liberty regulated by
law, to exhibit-a system of 8tates, eachnsu
p rcm6 within-itsfoundation, and only hound
by a voluntary alienation of powers. It will
vindicate those elemonts of Nat iobal Ildo
pendence, which are secured by a high stan
daril of intelligence and retinoment, by ac
cumulated capital, varied industry and by
abundant facilities of interinuication. It
will promote the'adoption of all those incas.
ures in which the Confederate States are
now deficient. And, wbilst the'Constitution
of the Confederate States forblils the General
Government, to organize nnd operate enter
prises of a nature calculated to attain these
results, the projectors will consider it their
duty to urge upon the States the develop
ment of interests so indispensable to the na-'
tional welfare. . It is thup that, through the
aggregate ability of the separate .atcs, the
power of the Confederato States will ho inado
manifest. It is thus that the collision of
sectional interest and the oppression of a
common head will be avoided.
The various departnmCnts of literaturo to
which the Magazine is devoted, may be named
us follows :
1. Essays, original and selected, political,
literary and scientific, and biographical
sketches.
2. Novels, Tales and Sketches, original
and select ed
3. Reviews of Books.
4. Educational Essays and News.
6. Notices of the progress of Science and
Art.
-ariffe fourth section, it is the dqsign to
afford to Teachers information needcd in.
their profession, and a field for the Inter.
change of ideas en that -tleoct, to which.
end, their assistance and collaboration is in
vited. Southern School Books will be no
ticed and reviewed; and the*Southern system
ef Education aw opposed to New Englawnl
ompirlplsm and practicalism, upheld, devel
oped and defended.

A New Paper in Richmond.
PROSPECTUS.
rpHEI undersigned propose to publish a,
I Daily Paper, 'under the title of "The
Richiond Herald," on or about the 15th
of January ult.
It will he entiely independent in politics,
but will nevertheless nocord to, the Admin
istration a just support in all measures
which, in the opinion of its conductors,
may be deemed promotive of the good of
the cause in which we are engaged. A
proper criticism of such 'nots as will be
deemed adverse to this object, will be, of
course, consistant with the independent
character under which the paper is to bo
inaugurattid.
In the matter of Qonoral News it will be
found to keep pace with the lealing jour
nal.s ot the dlay, while it will have added to
it, In the matter of financial Intelligence a
feature such as, we vetuttire to say, no pa
per In the Confederacy can boast of. Eli
torials fro& the pen of one of the ablest
tinanclal writers in this or any other coun
try'will be presented in ea'ch number.
Fot reasons no now proper to be men.
gioned, we forbear to give the unines of
those who shall compose the regular edito
rial stafir; but we flatter ourselves that
when they shall appear,'.they will be found
to constitute such an array of talent as can,
t.ot be excelled on this continent.
The well known chara'ter of the indivi
dual whose name appears below, as a ste
nographio reporter, fiurnishes, we presume,
a guarantoo that, in all that relates to im
portant political speeches and debates.
whether in legislative assemblies or out of
them, thi "lierald" will present advanta.
ges certainly ntot to be excelled by any pa
per in the Confederacy.
The farming interests will be faithfully
vindicated, and care taken to disseminato
the earliest, intelligence which. a proper re
.gard for the welfare of that great element
of national wealth and power shall demand.
In the matter of oorrect commercial in
telligence, 2eqnal seal shall' be manifested,
ourobject being to assign to each of these
departments an editor of known, oxperience
and ability.
Arrangements are on foot by which to
secure the earlicbt, foreign news, and the
paper will contain such editorial talent as
will fully elucidate the b'earing of foreign
diplomacy upou Southern interests.
In-short, "The Richmond Herald" will
be found to combine every feature of inter
est which the requirements of the present
crisis denimid.
The enterprise is real,cctfully commend
ed to the favor and patronage of the citi
sens of the Southern Confedoracy. '
