The character of the Scientific American is too well known throughout the country to require a detailed account of the various subjects discussed through its columns. It eryoys a more extensive and influential circulation than any other journal of its class in America. It will be published weekly, as heretofore, in Quarto Form, on fine paper, affording, at the end of the year, an ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPEDIA, of over FOUR HUNDRED PAGES, with an index, and from Fire to Six Hundred ORIGINAL BNGR.1 VINGS, described by letters of reference; besides a vast amount of practical information concerning the progress of SCIENTIFIC and MECHANICAL IMPROVER MENT8, CHEMISTRY, CIVIL ENGINEER ING, MANUFACTURING in its various branches, ARCHITECTURE, MASONR Y, BOTANY,?in short, it embraces the entire range or the Arts and Sciences. It also possesses an original feature not found in any other weekly journal in the country, viz., an Official List of PATENT CLAIMS, prqiared expressly for its columns at the Patent Office,?thus constituting it the " AMERICAN REPERTORY OF INVENTIONS."

The enterprise in which we now embark, and of which this paper is at once the commencemev t, and a sample of the papers that are to follow, fas 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 no vehicle for the regular and proper communication of information of this kind. The publication of the Laws and the inaue of tnstruc more or less extended, have proved wholly inadequate, in the abaence of the construction of those Laws, as applied to particular cases, and of aetails and illustrations to make the regulations and in i structions intelligible. The valuable dAcuments 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 j general principles, address themselves only to j narty ends, and to matters of national polfeyj | 'These publications in their various forms are 1 highly useful in themselves as far as they go, and i 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 exam-; pies, 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 untler which he , acts. We shall make an honest ellbrt 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 tliereb) promote the real and substantial interests of the country And this we expect to do, to some ex tent at least?apart fYom, and indepedently to any party or personal interest or question what ever. It is known to moat of thoae 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 for 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, first in the War Department, ard subsequently in the Treasury He has therefore hud the best opportunities foi understanding the arrangements or business in al. the departments, and being acquainted with those who curry it on. Since his official connection with tne Government ceased, he llulters himself he hae 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. TheJunior Editor has been asssiduoualy engaged for several yeurs, in studying, by personal inquiry and examination, the practical and daily routine and details of the Post-Office and ouier brandies of the public business. It is with this stook of experience, and these advantages for reaching tlie various sources of adiniuistrutive ac tion, and for imparting minute and illustrative in struction, and valuable periodical and statistical information, that we challenge your confidenct and solicit your support and patronage. We have fixed upon the 15th of each month as the day for the publication of our paper, so us to afford time for obtaining from the departments all the orders, notices anuchanges issued, or math by them during the preceding month. Tables cl 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 tnbles: 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 propone to prevent, for the present, any increase of the evil of either kind, and from the time another issue shall be made, our paper will furnish the additions, corrections, and inouifi* 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 misdi rection, remailing, doubt, confusion, error, ant! imposition, will be saved by the progressive state of full and exact knowledge, for which we have provided, and for which We engage, every intelh gent postmaster can estimate for himself. These advantages alono and independentlyof all others, are worth many times the price we charge for the paper, and will, it is honed, 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 to subscribe. The same considerations apply to the orders and notices, decisions, and instructions of the War, Navy, Treasury, State, and Interior departments, and the same course is intended in respect to them. Notices of the decisions of the Supreme Court, in cases turning upon question! of official duty or national interest, will find a place in this pa}>*.r. f he undersigned, a committee of publication, on JL the part of the Muscogee and Russell Agricultural Society, respectfully invite public attention to the' following prospectus of a MONTHLY JOURNAL, to he published in this city under the auspicei of the above named association.

Sia :-After consulting many persona interested in the principal Rail-Roads in the United State*, the undersigned propose to establish agencies in this city and in New York, for the purpose of collecting full and authentic Rail-Road statistics und such other information as will enable them to Herve persons desiring to invest in Rail-Road securities, or to procure information ofany malteraconnected with the construction and administration of RailRoad*. The'y also propose, especially, to urge upon Congress a modification of the law* relat ingto contracts for carrying the mail, so as to authorize the Post Olfiee Department to contract foi the perpetual use of Rail-Roads, and, instead ol paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for foui years, to advance in five per cent, bonds of th?

The government now pay* A300 per mile for ,1.. muil ? rut uluuu ltu.l.lt..u.lu Tl.u jr. ..5 v..? ...... ...... is |> per cent, on <5,000. 1 he undersigned would urge tlmt, instead of paying *300 a mile, per annum, the Department should deliver, on acontract n perpetuity,five $1,000 bond*, bearing an inte rest of live per centum. At this rate the 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 fewyears.pay otflhe Bonds,and give the use ofnuch roads forever thereafter, free of all charge ; thereby effecting a vast saving on the present annunl expenditures of (lie Po t Office Department, and a consequent reduction of the rates of postage. The efTect will be no less advantageous to Kail Road Companies than to the government. For instance, such a contract would give to the Baltimore nnd Ohio Rail-Road Company more than $2,000,000, which would enable that complete its road at an early day, and greatly increase its business and profits. 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 uctive effort, through the press and otherwise. The undersigned tender their services to your Company, expecting a reasonable compensation, partly contingent upon the success ot the measure ; and respectfully suggest the propriety of your sending one or more delegates to this city, on the first Wedensday in December next, to confer with delegates from other RailRoad Companies, as to the details of the proposed arrangement and the best mode of bringing the subject before Congress.

The approach of Congress calls for the renewal of in y proposals and preparations to spread Uh debates before the public. The success which nas hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will continue, and enable me to perpeLuate the tull history of the proceedings and discussions of tue body on which the destiny of the Republic ue(lends. The adoption of Congress has given the Qi net. an oihciul character as the reporter of all that is said and done in the body. This sanction Han been voted at every successive session for manv years, and by members of all parties The press, loo, of all parlies has borne testimony to thefiuetity with which the duty thus confided has been j performed. The annexed notices, taken at random from the general expression in favor of me work, are submitted in proof of its fullness, tair,1.., I,.*-. i ,...,?,..?ii?,I i ...... . ..... vu.i>rv>>.u ?,...., tor want of room, a page of notices which are in ?yp? The great celerity with whicli the letter-writers for llie distant press circulate through the teiegraph their hurried accounts and views of me debates of Congress, renders more important than ever the full and exact official reports of the Cow<;hk?monai. Globe. The hasty, and in many instances ex parte, relations by telegraph of wnat occurs in Congress supersede, for the most pari, the ex act reports taken down b\r reporters, anu winch formerly, in a shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds of the press. Now tne telegraph uccounts, with all their imperfections and variety of colorings, take the run of the country, and no press but the official of Congress ever publishes the ftill debate with the proceedings of both Housesunmutilaled. Indeed, no newspaper cun give them, and have room for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter essential to their existence. While, therefore, the telegraph administers to the eager appetite of the public forCongress news, and meets the necessities of the political press, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitome suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect information of what passes in Congress is greatly diminished. The circulation of the official reports H?s been, to some extent, cut oil' by the crude an I diversified accounts which, flying along the electric woes, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain that truth puts on hie boots to follow. Still there are a great many men of leisure and thought wno like to see wl.at is actually said and done in Congress, and to judge for themselves, rather than to receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat teries. There are others, too, who, for the saxe of the future, willingly patronize a work whicn preserves a full record of the doings of the great moving and controlling power of the Republic The undersigned bus made preparations com mensurate with the increased importance of tn< duty he bus undertaken os the only reporter and publisher of the complete debutes and proceeding* of both Houses of Congress. The coining ses sion will probubly be extended nine jnonths, am the reports will not be comprised in less than 351K royal quarto pages of brevier and nonpareil type ?making 4 volumes of neur 900 pages each.? The reports for the last long session made 3896 royal quarto pages, and were hound in four volumes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each I will publish in the Appendix for the next session ull laws that may be passed during the session. which has not been done heretofore. AI though thin will increase in no smull degree tne expense of the publication, the subscription price will be the same that it has been for several years l "1' The Dmi.y Glome will he published during tne session on a superfine double royal sheet. It will contain tiie debates as taken down by the reporters, and its altered hy the sneakers, whenever tnev make any alterations; the current news of tin day, and miscellaneous mutter. The main obieci for publiaing the daily paper is, to enable Members to see their remarks in it,and alter them iftney shall think proper before they are published in tne Conosessional Gi.oiiu and Appendix. The CoNiinKsHioNAi. Gloiie is made up of tne daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress, and printed on a double roynl paper, with small I type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each number containing sixteen royal quarto pages. The speeches of the Members, in this first form, are sometime condensed?the full report 01 the prepared speeches being reserved for the ArPBNnix. All resolutions, motions, and other proceedings, are given in the form of the Journals, with the yens and nays on every important question. The Appendix is made up of the President's Annual Message, the Reports of the prjnciual Oflicersof the Government that accompany it,and all Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or revised by themselves. It is printed in tne Maine lortn u? me uiNiiKhf-iMNji. ui,?ni,t mm uuually makes about the'satnb number of pages during a Hear ion. During the first month or six weeks of a seesion, tiiere is rarely more business done than will make two numbers n week?one of the Conuhessiokai. Globe and one of the Appendix ; but during; ttie remainder of a sesHion, there in usually Muflicient matter for two or three numbers of each every week. The next session will be unusuailv interesting ; therefore, we culculnte that the Cowgiikssion'ai. Glohe and Appendix together will make at least 3500 large quarto pages, printed in small type?brevier and nonpareil. We furnish complete Indexes to both at the end of a session. \Ve will endeavor to print a sufficient number of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarried, or lost in the mails ; but subscribers should be very particular to file their papers carefully, for fear that we should not be able to supply all the lost numbers. If subscribers shall not he satisfied with the worrf, the money paid by them for it will be refunded to them whenever they return the numbers which have been received by them, i will give the subscription price for any previous volumes ot the Congressional Globe or the Appendix, and will thank any person who will let me have them. j I have a few copies of the back volumes of the !
