PREPARATORY NOTICE.
The enterprise iu which we now embark, an
T wiiie.h this paper id at onre llie commencemer
ml a sairiple of the papers that are to follow, ht
or its ami no less a purpose, than to imp art it
truction, in the general ami detail, to the Office
nd Agents of the American public, in respect tiol
o llieir duties and their rights, and to make then
ind the people at large, acquainted with the ot t'.ai
ration, decisions and action of thr Executive d
lartmentu of their Government. There has hitl
rto Leen no vehicle for the regular and prop
ominunication of information of this kind. Tl
lubltcation of the i.awa and the issue of liijitru
ions, more or less comprehensive, and at interva
nore or It S extended, have proved wholly inad
mate, in the absence of the construction of tho
ji*n, as applied to particular caaes, and of detai
,nd illustrations to make the regulations and i
itructiom intelligible. The valuable ducuiueii
tiniually reported to Congress,are too volumiiioti
mil are printed in quantities too small forgenei
-.irculation; whilst the debates in Congress m
.he commentaries of the press upon their procee
ngs, and the proceedings of the Executive bran
at the Government, besides turning mostly up
general principles, address themselves only
oarty ends, and to matters of natiiftml panic
These publications in their various forms t
highly useful in themselves as far as they go, a
dome of them indispensable; but there is nut
that do not reach the hands of all, nor if they d
do tliey furnish those rules, metnoas, ana exa
pits, for the despatch of the public business whi
can render the discharge of public duty either hi
or easy, whether in respect to the ipcumbent hi
self, or the department or bureau under which
arts. We shall make an honest effort to supj
this vacuum, and to provide for these necessiu
If we succeed in rendering the functions of I
primary offices more uniform, methodical, and
acl, we shall make the administrative duties of 1
departments more easy and effective, and there
promote the real und substantial interests of t
country And this we expect to do, to some ?
tent at least-^apurt from, and indepedently
any party or personal interest or question ivli
ever.
It is known to most of those to whom this j
per will be sent, that the Senior Editor was Au
tor of the Post-Office Department until the mot
of November last; with by far the larger porti
of both postmasters und contractors, he has li
direct intercourse, in person or by letter. Me <
tered the department fourteen years since, ami
many years previously, had been, first in the W
Department, ai:d subsequently in the Treasui
He has therefore had the best opportunities
understanding the arrangements Of business in
the departments, and being acquainted with tin
who carry it 011. Since his official connection w
Hie Government ceased, he flatters himself he 1
preserved*the respect and regard of most of
present incumbents of the departments, and is
becoming terms of intercourse und civility w
them all. TheJunior Editor has been asssiduou
engaged for several years, in studying, by p
sonal inquiry and examination, the practical ;
daily routine ami details of the Post-Otfice r
ouier branches of llie public business. It is w
this stock of experience, and these advantages
reaching the various sources of administrative
tion, and for imparting minute and illustrative

information, llint we challenge your confidet
anil solicit your support ami patronage.
We have fixed upon the J.r>th of each month
the day for the publication of our paper, So as
afford time for obtaining from the departmen
all the orders, notices ami changes issued, or mi
by them during the preceding month. Tables
Post Offices, and compilations of the Laws a
Regulations, are issued by the Post Office Depa
ment only once in two or three years, it it
matter of inconvenience and complaint, for whi
hitherto there has been no remedy, that in c
month from the time of these issues, there are
fices in the tables which are no longer in operatic
and offices in operation which are not in the tabl
At this time there are perhaps over three thousa
offices of the two descriptions. In like main
laws have heen passed and regulations establisl
since the issue of the Inst volume of regulatioi
of which many postmasters and others are who
ignorant. We propose to prevent, for the prese
any increase of the evil of either kind, and fr<
the time another issue shall be made, our par
will furnish the additions, corrections, and mod
cations-, made tit each month, ami by heing fil
and preserved, will afford to postmasters full a
exnrt information upon both subjects, up to a
for time being. J low much of the present mis
redion, remniling, doubt, confusion, error, a
imposition, v?i 11 lie waved by the progressive sti
of t'u-ll nixl exact knowledge, for which we he
provided, and for which we engage, every inte
gent postmaster can estimate for himself.
These advantages alone and independently of
others, are worth many times the price we e.hnr
for the paper, and will, it is hoped, induce eve
postmaster who feels a just pride in his office
a patriotic regard for the credit, prosperity, n
efficiency of the whole Post Office system?at on
to subscribe. The same considerations apply
the orders and notices, decisions, and instructio
if the War, Navy, Treasury, State, and Interi
departments, and the same course is intended
respect to rtiem. Notices of the decisions of t
Supreme Court, in cases turning upon questio
if official duty or national interest, will find a ula
in this pap?.r.

the Fast Oilice Department to contract foi

upon the Deportment would be reduced from $.'11H

The adoption of Congress has given the Gi ??

1'he great celerity wilb which the letter-wnlci
