PBKPAEiTORYNOTICE
The enterprise ip which we now embark, and
of which this paper is at once the comiiiencemei t,
and a sample of the papers that are to follow, 1 as
for its atm no less a purpose, than to impart instruction,
in the general arid 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 ana action of the Executive departments
of their Government. There has hithLi
i < ?_ .u. 1__ ?a
VfUl kc^ii iiu ituiwc iui niv ivguiai aim pm^ci
communication of in<ormation of this kind. The
publication of Jhe Law* and th? iaaua of instrur
tiona, more or leaa comprehensive, and at intervale
more ot leaa 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
atructions 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
inga, and the proceedings of the Executive branch
of the Government, besides turning mostly upon
general principles, address themselves only to
Darty ends, and to matters of national policy*
these publications in their various forms are
highly useful in themselves as far as they go, and
some of them indispensable; but there is much
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 whick
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 ths
pi unary uiiiucb iiiuio umiviui, uicwiuuiuui, auu c*
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 from, and indepedently to
any party or personal interest or question whatever.
It is known to moat 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, had been, firstin the War
Department, and subsequently in the Treasury.
He has therefore had the best opportunities fot
understanding the arrangements of business in al>
the departments, and being acquainted with those
who carry it on. Since his official connection with
the 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 years, in studying, by personal
inquiry and examination, the practical and
daily routine and details of the Post-Oflice and
outer branches of the public business. 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
struction, and valuable periodical and statistics'
information, that we challenge your confidence
and solicit your support and patronage.
We have fixed upon the 15lh of each month as
the day for the publication of our paper, so as to
afford time for obtaining from the departments
all the-orders, notices andchanges issued, or made
by them during the preceding month. Tables ct
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 in one
month from the time of these issues, there are offices
in the tables which are no longer in operation.
and offices in operation which are not in the tables*
At this time there are perhaps over three thousand
offices of the two descriptions. In like manner
laws have been passed and regulations established
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, i
any increase or the evil of either kind, and from
the time another issue shall be made, our paper i
will furnish the additions, corrections, and modifi. |
cations, made in each month, and by being filed
and preserved, will afford to postmasters full and
exact information upon both subjects, up to and
for time being. How much of the present inisdi
rection, remailing, doubt, confusion, error, and
imposition, will be Baved by the progressive state i
of full and exact knowledge, for which we hav? ,
provided, and for which we engage, every intelli i
gent postmaster can estimate for himself.
These advantages alone and independently of all
others, are worth many 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, and '
efficiency of the whole Post Office system?at once 1
to subscribe. The same considerations apply to
the orders and notices, decisions, and instructions 1
of the War, Navy, Treasury, State, and Interior 1
departments, and the same course is intended in '
respect to thein. Notices of the decisions of the
Supreme Court, in oases turning upon question!
of official duty or national interest, will find a place
in this paptr. a
The undersigned, a committee of publication, on ?
the part of the Muscogee and Russell Agricul .
tural Society, respectftilly invite public attention '
to the following prospectus of a MONTHLY
JOURNAL, to be published in this city under the "
auspice* of the above named association. ii

fhrm, the garden, the orchard, the flower yard, ^
and the house-keeper's department. Intheircon- ?
nexion with the interests of the soil, the other in- ,r
duatrial pursuits of the land, will receive their ap w
propriate attention. >

the practical farmers and planters of the land.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.
Leonard scott & Co.,.vb. 54 Gou *tre*t
-Yiw York, continue to publish the four lead
uig British Ciuarierly 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 Henrt Stephens, F. R. S., of Edinburgh .author
of the "Book of tht Farm," &c., dc-c.; assisted
by John P. Norton, M.A., New Haven,Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c.,<Stc
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octavo volumes, containing over 1,400
pages, with 18 or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and 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., dec., 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 G4 pages each, exclusive of the Steel
engravings, ana is sold at 25 cents each, or $5 for
the entire work in numbers, of which there will be
at least twenty-two.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol
lows, viz :
The London Quarterly Review (Conservative),
The Edinburgh Review (Whig),
The North British Review (Free Church),
The Westminster Review (Liberal.)
end
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub- 1
jects. It is their literary character which gives 1
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 Myth, maintains its ancient celebrity, '
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the '
serial works of Bulwer 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
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal," "The Green Hand," and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions are issued by the (
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages oBlackwood,
after it has been issued by Messrs. Scot- '
Sy Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of thai j
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales. I

no be thus deterred from bringing them, as it is n
illy by comparison that the relative merits of any

And while we address you to bring such articles ^

To the Manufacturers of Agricultural Implements ?

both combine to enjoin upon you the pro

The adoption of Congress lias given the Gi nut

been voted at every succes-nve session for many

too, of all pai ties has borne testimony to the fieri|

performed. The annexed notices, liken ' .1

The great celerity with which the letter-write
| for the dnuuni press circulate through the n >. 'graph
their hurried accounts and viewu of me
debates of Congress, renders more imporiunt t.unu
ever the full and exact officinl reports of the Com
gkcbsional Gi.oiik. The hasty, and in msriv
instances ex parte, relations liy telegraph of wtmt
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most pari,
the ex act reports taken down bv reporters, ami
winch formerly, in a shape more or less ablire-|
viated, went the rounds of the press. Now tne |
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety of colorings, lake the run of the country,
und no press but the official of Con^re.- ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Housesunmuliluted. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their e\
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admini..- !
let s to the eager appetite of the public for Congress i
news, and meets the necessities of the politic i ,
press, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitome |
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect inform, - :
lion of what passes in Congress is greatly iliimii- !
ished. The circulation of the official reports lias !
been, to some extent, cut oil" by the crude ami i
diversified accounts which, Hying along the elect;
w.res, satisfies curiosity, und it is almost in nun |
thaL truth puts on his boots to follow. .Still there 1
are a great many men of leisure and thought vain 1
like to see what is actually said und done in t
gresN, and to judge for themselves, rather than <o
receive impressions altogether from galvanic list
teries. There are others, too, who, lor the : i
of the future, willingly patronize a work wl. n
preserves a full recortlof the doings of the '.c u
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations e.n.mensuratc
with t'.e increased importance of in
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceeding! of
both Houses o< Congress. The coming slsion
will probably lie extended nine months, nut
the reports will not be comprised in less than 3&IM
royal auarto pages of brevier and nonpareil tyne
?making 4 volumes of near 1)00 pages each.-The
reports for the last long session made .'iS'.it!
umeo, averaging !)74 royal quarto pngeb each
I will publish in the Appendix for the next session
all Imwh tliut may lie pnssed during the . c ;
aion, which has not heen done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree lue
expense of the publication, the subscription price
will be the same tlmt it has been for several years
past.
The Daily Gi.ohk will be published during tue
session on a superfine double roy d sheet. It will
contain the debates ns taken down by the reporters,
and us altered by the speakers, whenever tin v
make any alterations; the current news of li:<
day, and miscellaneous mutter. The main obieci
for publising the daily paper is, to enable Members
to sec their remarks ill it, and alter them iftiic v
shall think proper before they arc published in mc
Congressional Globe and Appendix.
The Congressional Globe is made up of itie
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a double royal papei, with small
lype, (brevier und nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this lirst
form, ure sometime condensed?the full report ot
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Appendix.
All resolutions, motions, and other proceedings,
are given in the form of the Journals,
with tiie yeas and nays on every important question.
The Appendix is made up of the President's
Annual Message, the Reports of the princio.il
Olficers of the Government thutaccompany it, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. It is printed in toe
same form us the Congressional Globe, miui
usually makes about the same number of pages
during a session.
During the fitst month or six weeks of a session,
there is raiely more business done limn wul
make two numbers a week?one of the Congressional
Globe and one of ihe Appendix ; but during
the remainder of a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of ear.n
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting ; tnereiore, wv mnuuic nm. .... . .
uki.spionai. Globe and Appendix together will
make at least 3500 large quart/) pages, printed jo
small type?brevier and nonpareil. V e Airman
complete Indexes to both ut the end of pension.
We will endeavor to print it sufficient number of
surpluscopies to supply all tliut may he miscarried,
or lost in the inails ; but subscriber.; choulil t>?
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not lie able to supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with thr
work, the money paid by them for it will be re
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. I will givt
the subscription price for any previous volumes o/
the Congressional Globe or the Appendix,and
will tlmnk any person who will let me have them.
I have a few copies of the hack volumes of the
Co vgrersional Globe and Appendix for sale at
j #5 a volume bound, which it is probable will he
disposed of soon ; and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $10 a volume,
| as they cannot he reprinted for less than that sum
| There are 25 back volumes.
