I'APEtt.
Tux approach of Congress calls for the renewal
>f my proposals and preparations to spread lit
lebales before the public. The success which nat
litherto attended tiiis undertaking it is hoped will
ontinue, and enable me to perpetuate the tut
liatory of the proceedings and discussions of tut
tody on which the destiny of the Republic ue
tends.
The adoption of Congress has given the Gi not
in official character as the reporter of all that i:
laid and done in the body. This sanction iiai
teen voted at every successive session for many
feur?, and by members of all parlies The press
oo, of all parlies has borne testimony to (lie tiuui
ly with which the duty thus confided has ben
terforined. The annexed notices, taken at ran
loin from the general expression in favor of mi
work, are submitted in proof of its fullness, lair
less, and usefulness. I am compelled to ntur

jrajdv their hurried accounts and views of tni
iebates of Congress, renders more important thr
:ver the full and exact official reports of the C
niKshioNAi. Glohk. The hasty, and in man,
nstances ex parte, relations by telegraph of wiia
nccurs in Congress supersede, for the most pari
lie exact reDorts taken down by reoorters, ant
which formerly, in a shape more or less abhre
mted, went (lie rounds of the pr.esa. Now tin
.elegraph accounts, with all tlieir imperfection!
in d variety of colorings, take I lie run of the conn
ry, and no press but the official of Congress eve;
tubli.shes the full debate with the proceedings o
.loth Houses uniniililnted. Indeed, no newspanci
;an give them, and have room for ad vertisemenu
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex
stence. While, therefore, the telegraph udminin
.ers to the eager appetite of the public. forCongreni
lews, and meets tbe necessities of the politic
>ress, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitonu
uuted to the taste of its patrons, perfect infortna
:ion of what passes in Congress is greatly diinui
shed. The circulation of (he official reporti nai
aeen, to some extent, cut ofi' by the crude an
liversified accounts which, flying along the electro
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in van
Lhat truth puts on his boots to follow. Still then
are a great many men of leisure and thought wn<
like to see wl.at is actually said and done in Con
gress, and to judge for themselves, rather than u
receive impressing altogether from galvanic bni
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sam
of the future, willingly patronize a work whici
preserves a full record of the doings of the gr?a
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate witn the increased importance of tn
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter am
publisher of the complete debates and proceeding
of both Houses of .Congress. The coming sen
sion will probably be extended nine months, am
the reports will not be comprised in lees than 35(K
royal quarto pages of brevier and nonpareil tyn
?making 4 volumes of near i)tH) pages each.?
The reports for the last long session made 3r!a
royal quarto pagee, and were bound in four voi
urnes, avera^jng !!74 royal quarto pages each
I will publish in the Acpxnuix for the next see
sion all laws that may be passed during the ees
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Al
though this will increase in no small degree m
expense of the publication, the subscription pric
will be ths same thai it has been for several year
past.
Ths Daily Glohc will be published during tn
session on a superfine double royal sheet. It wi
ow'ain the debates as taken down by the repori
Irs, and as altered by the speakers, whenever the
-n?Lr? "if ?11ti<irla lit* rtlrr#n? news nf in
Jay, and miscellaneous matter. The main obier
for pirbliainr the daily paper in, to enable Mem
bera to see their remarks in it,and alter them iftne
shall think proper before they are published in ui
Congressional Globe and Avplniiix.
The Congressional Globe is made up of tn
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congresr
and printed on a double royal paper, with sma
type, (brevier snd nonpareil,) in quarto form
each number containing sixteen royal quart
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this firs
form, are sometime condensed?the Kill report o
the prepared speeches being reserved for the A?
bendix. All resolutions, motions, and other pro
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals
with ine yeas and nays on every important ques
lion.
The ArrxNDix is made up of the President*
Annual Message, the Reports of the prinniMi
Offirersof the Government that accompany it.ani
all Speeches of Members of Congress, writiei
out or revised by themselves. It is printed in tn
same form as the Congressional Globe, am
usually makes about the same number of page
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks of a ass
sinn, there is rarely more business done than wil
make two numbers a week?one of the Conqres
signal Gloee snd one of the ArrcNnti; but dur
tng the remainder <>f a session, there ia usuani
sufficient matter for two or three number* of earl
every week. The next session will be unusual^
interesting ; therefore, we calculate that the Con
oavssiONAL Globe and ArrENOix together wil
make at least .'t.VKI large quarto pages, printed 11

' Sir :-After consulting many persons interested in
| the principal Kail-Koads in the United States, the
1 undersigned propose to establish agencies in this
! city ami in New York, for the purpose of collecting
full and authentic* Rail-Road statistics and
such other information as will enable t'veni to serve
persons desiring to invest in Rud-Road securities,
' j or to procure information ofany maltereconnected
1 ! with the construction and administration of Rai!|
Roads. They also propose, especially, to urge
' upon Congress a modification of the laws relating
to contracts for carrying the mail, so as toau1
thorize the Post Office Department to contract foi
' the perpetual use of Rail- Roads, arid, instead or
: paying, us now, quarterly on contracts Tor four
" veara, to advance in five per cent, bonds of the
* United States, chargeable upon the revenues of
""oat Office Department,an umount, the inteipon
which at G per cent, would equal the
i paw men la now mad*.
s j The government now pays #300 per mile for
ing the mail on first class Rail-Iloatls. This
I ; er cent, on #5,000. The undersigned would
r urge that, instead of puying #300 a roue, per an(
num, the Department should deliver, on a con tract
n perpetuity, five #1,000 bonds, bearing an inte
J rest of five per centum. At this rate, tlie charge
upon the Department would be reduced from #300
? to #250 a mile, per annum, and the #50 per mile
* saved would createa sinking fund which will, in a
fewyenrs,pay oirthe Bonds,and give the use of uuch
r roads forever thereafter, free of all charge ; there!
by effecting a vast saving on the present annual
r expenditures of the Po t Office Department, and
, a consequent reduction of the rates of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government. For
j instance, such a contract would give to the Balti,
more and Ohio Rail-Road Company more than
, #'2,000,000, which would enable tliut complete its
[ road at an early day, and greatly increase its business
and profits,
j But to meet objections and impress the public
, mind with a proper sense of the benefits to result
, from this measure will require concert of action
| and continued active effort, through the press arid
E otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
j to your Company, expecting a reasonable compensation,
partly contingent upon the success ot
j the measure ; and respectfully suggest the propriety
of your sending one or more delegates to
t this city, on the first Wedensday in December
1 next, to confer with delegates from other Railt
Road Companies, as to the details of the proposed
arrangement and the best mode of bringing the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con.!

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMER'S GUIDE.
Leonard scott & Co.,jvo.54 gold street,
AAu> York, continue to publish the four lead
mg British (Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recently
commenced the publication of a valuable Agricultural
work, called the
" Farmer's Guide to Scientific and Practical
Agriculture,"
By Henry Stf.thens, F. R. S., of Edinburgh, author
of the "fioofc of the Farm," &c., &.c.; assisted
I' by John P. Norton, M.A., New Haven,Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c., &o
This highly valuable work will comprise two
I-?- ~_i 1 Aim
diui.u r yj iuu.cn, i.uu?lilin6 uvci l,*w
pages, with iy or 20 splendid steel engravings,
una more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods of ploughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, &c.,&c., the various domestic
animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it of incalculable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of 64 pages each, exclusive of the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 cents each, or $5 for
the entire work in numbers, of which there will be
at least twenty-two.

viz :
The London Quarterly Review (Conservative),
The Edinburgh Review (Whig),
The North British Review (hree Church),
The Westminster Review (Liberal.)
and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine fTory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political subjects.
It is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedly far above all other journals of their class
! Blackwood, still under the masterly guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bui wer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My

PREPARATORY NOTICE.
The enterprise in which we now embark, and
of which this paper in at once the coinmencemer t,
and a sample of the papers that are to follow, fras
for its aim no less a purpose, than to impart instruction,
in the general and detail, to the Officer
and Agents of the American public, in respect both
to their duties and their rights, and to make them,
and the people at large, acquainted with the organization,
decisions and action of the Executive departments
of their Government. There has hitherto
Leen 110 vehicle for the regular and proper
communication of information of this kind. The
publication of the l.n*s und the issue of instrue
lions, more or less comprehensive, and at intervals
more or less extended, have proved wholly inadequate,
in the absence of the construction of those
Laws, as applied to particular cases, and of details
and illustrations to make the regulations and in
structions intelligible. The valuable documents
annually reported to Congress,are too voluminous.
and are printed in quantities too small for general
circulation; whilst the debates in Congress and
the commentaries of the press upon their proceed
ings, and the proceedings of the Executive branch
of the Government, besides turning mostly upon
general principles, address themselves only to
oarty ends, and to matters of national polieyj
! these publications in meir various lorms are
highly useful in themselves as far as they go, and
| some of them indispensable; but there is much
i that do not reach the hands of all, nor if they did,
do they furnish those rules, methods, and examples,
for the despatch of the public business which
can render the discharge of public duty either safe
or easy, whether in respect to the incumbent himself,
or the department or bureau under which he
acts. We shall make an honest effort to supply
this vacuum, and to provide for these necessities.
If we succeed in rendering the functions of the
primary offices more uniform, methodical, and ex
act, we shall make the administrative duties of the
departments more easy and effective, and thereby
promote the real and substantial interests of the
country And this we expect to do, to some ex
tent at least?apart fVom, and indepedently to
any party or personal interest or question whatever.
It is known to most of those to whom this pa
per will be sent, that the Senior Editor was Audi
tor of the Post-Office Department until the month
of November last; with by far the larger portion
of both postmasters and contractors, he has had
direct intercourse, in person or by letter. He entered
the department fourteen years since, and for
many years previously, hud been, first in the War
Department, and subsequently in the Treasury.
He has therefore had the best opportunities for
understanding the arrangements of business in all
the departments, and being acquainted with those
who carry it on. Since his official connection with
tne Government ceased, he flatters himself he has
preserved the respect and regard of most of the
present incumbents of the departments, and is on
becoming terms of intercourse and civility with
them all. The Junior Editor has been asssiduously
engaged for several yeara^i jjtudying, by per onaFinquiry
and examiju^D^lhe practical and
daily routine and delailflHP^V' Post-Office and
uiner Oranches of the publifflfiiiKiieRs. It is with
this stock of experience, and these advantages for
reaching the various sources of administrative ac
tion, and for imparting minute and illustrative in
sti'uction, and valuahd* periodical end atatiai <??/
information, that we challenge your confidenct
and solicit your support and patronage.^
We have fixed unon the 15th of each .'nonth as
the duy for the publication of our paper, mo aa to
afford time for obtaining from the aepartmenu
all the orders, notices anachanges issued, or madt
by them during the preceding month. Tables oI
| Post Offices, and compilations of the Laws and
Regulations, are issued by the Post Office Department
only once in two or three years. It is a
matter of inconvenience and complaint, for which
hitherto there has been no remedy, that wt on*
month flrom the time of these issues, there are offices
in the Abies which are no longer in operation,
and offices in operauon which are not in the tablesAt
this time there are perhaps over three thousand
offices of the two descriptions. In like manner
laws have been passed and regulations eetabliahod
since the issue of the last volume of regulations,
of which many postmasters and others are wholly
ignorant. We propose to prevent, for the present,
any increase or the evil of either kind, and from
the time another issue shall be made, our paper
will furnish the additions, corrections, and momfi*
cations, made in each month, and by being filej
and preserved, will afford to postmasters full and
exact information upon both subjects, up to and
for time being. How much of the present misdi
rection, remaibng, doubt, conAision, error, and
imposition, will be saved by the progressive stat*
of ft?ll and exact knowledge, for which w* have
provided, and for which we engage, every intelligent
postmaster can estimate for himself.
These advantages alone and independently of all
others, art worth ftiany times the price we charge
for the paper, and will, it is hoped, induce every
postmaster who feels a just pride in his office or
a patriotic regard for the credit, prosperity .^nd
efficiency of the whole Post Office syattp -?i once
to Subscribe. The ssme considerations apply to
the Orders and notices, derisions, snd Sn^Wtiors
of the War, Navy, Treasury, State, nVd Interior
Henartrfienis. and the same course is intended in
respect U them. Notice* of the decisions of the
Supreme Court, in case* turning upon qoestioni
of official il My or national interest, will find a place
in thie pnp*r.
! PBIhe undersigned, a committee of publication, on
JL the part of <he Muscogee end Russell Agricultural
Society, r^pectftilly invite public attention
to the flkik>wing\proepectue of a MONTHLY
JOURNAL, to be published in this city under the
auspice* of the abov> named association.
The work will be diroted to the interests of Agrirullurr
