I^he collegiate year of this institution will liere
. utter consist of one continuous muioti, begin
iug uu the last Wednesday in September, aud
"losing on the last Wednesday iu June, on which
?lay the annual commencement tor conferring de
gree* will be held.
The ensuing session will open ou the &Hh ol
the present month.
The charges are:
For tuition per session of nine months. $40 00
Use of room, furniture, library, and at
tendance 30 00
Board, (per week) 2 25
To those who do not board in college the charge
for tuition is the same, and for the use of room,
furniture, library. Arc.. f'Jfi per session. There is
an admission fee of $10. and a small charge each
session for contingencies. Fuel and lights are fur
nished at cost, und washing at 37i cents per dozen.
The necessary college expenses of a boarding stu
dent will not exceed $lbO or $190 per annum. All
the bills are payable one half at the beginning, and
the balance at the middle of the session.
Willi a view of giving to the different depart
ments of instruction a wider extension, and at the
same time of meeting a public want by rendering
the advantage of the college available to a larger
numlter and a more varied clans of students, some
important changes have been made in the order
uud tyrangenient of the students. A new course
has been adopted, styled the Scientific Course, and
the degree ol Batcfaeipr of Philosophy (1?. I'.) at
tached to it. It will occupy nl>out three years, and
will embrace all the studies of the regular course
lor the degree of Bachelor ol .Arts, with the ex
ception of the ancient languages. This course
will be sjiecially adapted to those who wish to ob
tain what is called a practical tdtt cation, a? the
mathematical and scientific studies will have
greater prominence than usual, particularly in their
application to the arts and business of life. Those
who may wish to liecome practical surveyors, en
gineers. or agriculturists, will be enabled, with the
advice of the faculty, to select their studies with
special reference to those objects, and will receive
the aid of lectures aud illustrations. The doors oi
the College will ulso lie opened to those who may
wish, turner its general regulations, to pursue any
branch of study for any length of time. They may,
under the direction of the faculty, select such #ul>
jeets as are suited to their views and objects in
life, and. on examination, may receive a regular
certificate of their standing and proficiency in the
same.
The number of officers and instructors has lately
been increased, and others will be added as the
wants of the several departments may require.
Measures are in progress lor filliug immediately
the chair of chemistry, geology, mineralogy, and
liotany in a manner that will add greatly to the in
terest and profit of those studies.
The preparatory department has been placed
under careful and efficient management, in a build
ing which has been handsomely fitted up for its
reception. It has uu able and experienced teacher,
it ltd is under the general supervision of the faculty.
It will thus allwril the l>e?l advantages for laying
the foundation of a thorough classical and mathe
matical education.
Hoarding pupils will be received under the im
mediate care and direction of the principal, and at
about the same expense as regular college stu
dents.
The buildings have recently undergone thorough
epairs. and the grounds are beinar laid out and un
proved iu a manner that will add much to the con
venience and attractiveness of its already beauti
ful situation.
It is believed the College never presented so
strong inducements as it now does to young men
who desire to obtain a thorough and lilieral educa
tion. J. S. BACON,
Sep 21. President.

PROSPECTUS OF THE UNITED
Smics Illustrated.?Under the title of the
United States Illustrated, lias been commenced
the publication of* great national work, of a very
costly and magnificent description, for which the
liberal patronage of the American public i* confi
dently expected. It will appear in parts with such
promptitude that two volumes will be completed
Itelore the close of the present year. These vol
umes will be issued simultaneously, one being ex
clusively devoted to eastern and the other to wen
lorn subjects. Each part will contain four steel
engravings, from original drawings by eminent
artists, representing either some remarkable view
front the splendid luudscapc scenery of the coun
try, or some public ediiiec, whose architectural
beauty or historical character entitles it to such
commemoration. Ten parts will compose a vol
ume.
The present volume of the western section will
contain, uiuong other illustrations, views ol the
grand and peculiar scenery of the Mississippi
river, from its origin at llusca l>al;e down to its
mouth. Ih-Iow New Orleans. In a similar manner
the volume of the eastern section will represent
only such subject* from the sea-board Stales us
arc must striking and truly American.
Ibit if excellence has thus been aimed at in the
eagraviugs. the literary department also will have
every attention bestowed upon it. No expense
has been spared to render the work in this respect
also a national monument. Many of the best and
popular writers of the country arc engaged as
regular contributors, and the editorial direction of
the whole has Im-cu entrusted to the earc of Mr.
Charles A. Dana, whose name is a sullicient guar
antee that the work will be one of solid merit, as
well as of elegance and l?eauiy. Each number
u ill contain from l'J to 10 pages letter-press, priut
ed in elegant type on splendid 4to paper.
With the last numbers each subscriber or pur
chaser of the two volumes, will receive to each
section of the work an allegoric title page, exe
cuted in a high style of art, and as a premium, a
maguillceut steel engraving. .10 by 'Jf? inches, rep
resenting The Hat tie of llunker Hill, from Trum
bull's great picture, whose superb execution ren
ders it u costly ornament, and whose subject will
make it dear to every American.
In the anticipation of a vast number of subscri
bers, the price of the work will be put at the fol
lowing rales, whose cheapness only the largest
circulation can justify: single numbers, each f>0
cunts; single volume. the two volumes, with

PUTNAM'S MONTHLY.-l>n the first of

Putnam's Monthly. Itssuectuw, remarkable amoug
literary undertakings, proves the genuineness of
the national welcome with which the prospectus
was received, an?l the manner in which its pro
mise has been fulfilled.
To have demonstrated thnt an original Ameri
can Magazine can command the lively interest and
substantial support of the American Public, niul
challenge the admiration of foreign criticism, is a
success of which the publishers are proud.
They will spare no ellbrt in deserving even
greater favor. They still believe, as they said at
the commencement of the undertaking, that, "a
|K>pular magazine must amuse, interest, and in
struct." They have still unabated "faith in the
oppulence of our own native resources," and they
appeal to the experience of the last six months to
show with what reason.
The lirst volume is now complete, and may lie
had neatly bound in cloth, price $2 00.
The lirst edition of the June number consists of
thirty-five thousand copies?a greater circulation
than has ever lielore lieeu attained by nil original
literary magazine, either in this country or in

of the forty-second volume of the Knickerbocker
Magazine.
Since the price of subscription has been reduced
from five to three dollars a year, the circulation of
the Knickerbocker has been increased nearly four
to one. In many places ten are suld where there
was but one before, and through the year it has
been steadily increasing. It is now oll'ered as
cheap as any of the Magazines, all things consider
ed. Instead of making new and prodigious pro
mises, we submit a few extracts from notices of
late numlters, which we might extend to a number
of pages.
"Those familiar with the Editor's monthly 'Gos

admired the perennial source of its pleasant wit
and joyousness. In this number 'The Gossip'
holds on its way like some fair rivulet glancing and

HAMPER'S NHW MONTHLY MA(iA.
zinc has now readied a monthly edition of
over One Hundred and Twenty-live Thousand
copies and the demand tor it is still increasing
with greater rapidity than ever. This unparal

printing the work with the requisite rapidity, nnd
at the same timCpreserving the typographical ele
gauce l?y which it has always been distinguished.
It is now rleetrotyjifti by a new process, which
makes it easy to print any number of copies from
the same plates, without in the least impairing the
clearness and beauty of the impression. The
publishers desire to repeat their cordial acknowl
edgment!* to the press and the public for the ex
traordinary favor which has thus far attended
their eflbrts to interest and instruct the great Ixsly
of the American people, and to renew their as
surances that every possible etfort will be made
to increase still further the claims of their maga
zine u|K>n public lavor and support. It will con
tinue to present, at the cheapest price, the most
interesting and instructive literary matter, original
and selected, domestic and foreign, in the most
elegant and convenient style, nnd accompanied by
the finest pictorial illustrations wliic h a lav ish ex

with confidence to the past, as a guarantee that
their promises tor the future will be abundaully

Eclectic magazine for wi. tiic
sphere and the utility of the Eclectic Maga
zine have liecome too well defined to require ex
planation. Differing in aim from other magazines,
and supplying a want which i> widely mid increas
ingly fell by a more educated and intelligent por
tion of the community, it tills a place which could
be tilled in no other method than by the principle
of selection which it adopts. The great reviews
and magazines of Great Britain nnd the Continent,
through which the leading minds of the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively, to express them
sel vei?, are too numerous to !>e reprinted, as well
as loo costly to be imported by the general reader.
They contain, likewise, much, with their desirable
articles, that has but a temporary or local interest,
and which is worth to the American reader neither
the priee nor time required to peruse it. To select
from the whole field of journalism all that is really
valuable. Itoth the graver dissertations and discus
sions of the reviews, and the lighter ami more
versatile contents of the magazines, is the pur
l?ose of the Eclectic. The best parts of all are
thus secured, without the cost or incumbrance of
the local or feeble parts of any. The main |M>rtion
of the Eclectic will continue to be composed of
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews;
while everything valuable or brilliant in all other
periodical issues, particularly of Great Britain,
will be carefully presented. A richer and more
valuable aggregate will thus be furnished than the
contents of any single periodical could allbrd.
Embellishments of the highest order of subject
and engraving will occupy each number. Among
these u ill Ik- richly engraved portraits of the most
distinguished living characters, especially in lite
rature, art. or statesmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr. Sartain, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style of the mezzotint.
Tkrms.?The Krlrrtie AIngmint is issued on the
first of every month, in numbers of 1 11 large 8vo
pages each, on fine paper, making three volumes
a year, with title pages and indexes, l'riee per

PATENT GAS REGUI* ATOR.?The In

useful 'instrument deserves the thanks of the gas
consuming community. The savin# effected I>y
the use ol it will he found fully 25 per cent, in ev
ery person's gas bill. It can be so adjusted as to
supply the gas at any desired pressure less than
that of the street, and when once adjusted, the
Regulator will continue' to supply the gas at that
pressure uniformly, without requiring further care
or attention, and independent of all the fluctua
tions of the street pressure. An additional advan
tage obtained by this Regulator is a light of a more
agreeable quality, in place of the bluish white
color of the ordinary gas light, occasioned by ihe
high pressure at which the gas is consumed. As
an evidence of its practical utility, it is now in op
eration in some ol' the principal hotels and large
stores in New York city, who all bear favorable
testimony to its value. It has also received the
united commendations of the press.
Hotel proprietors and storekeepers in the city of
Washington and its vicinity, desirous to avail
themselves of the economises can obtain nil fur

has fitted one of these Regulator* up in his store,
and will give an illustration of it.

THE GLOBE:
THE OFFICIAL PAPER of COBfGHJEBS,
AND NEWSPAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
It will be soon by the annexed extract from a
letter of General Washington to David Stewart,
dated New York, 17tli March, 1790, that the idea
of such a paper as I propose to make the Globe
originated in the mind of the Father of hi* Country,
lie said:
"It Into be lamented that the editors of the different
Gaieties iu thu Unk>u do not more generally ?ud tuureoor
rectly (Instead of stalling their paper* with scurrility uud
nousensieal declamation, which few would read If they were
apprised of the coutents) publish the debates in Congress
ou nil great national question*. The principles upon which
thu difference of opinion arises, as well as the decisions,
would then come fully before the public, and afford the best
data for Its judgment."?.Sjmrkt't H'ritiugt of H'athinyton,
vol. HI, p. W.
The Dailv Glume and Tiie C0NOREs.s10NALG1.0Bit
In surrendering my interest iu the orguu of a
great politieal party, I cherished the purpose of
continuing the Congressional Globe, and, if possi
ble, iu time, to perfect it into a fuH history of the
action of Congresa, giving the debates accurately
and fully with the proceedings?all stamped with
the verity of an oillcinl record. From the passage
iu the letter of General Washington, which 1 have
i|iiotcd, it will be perceived thai ho thought this
olllce might l>e combined with that of a regular
newspaper; ami it is certain that the avidity of the
public for news of the less important kind greatly
contributes to give wing to tiie weightier matter
which may be called Congressional news.
1 laving succeeded in my purpose of perfecting
the reports of the debates iu Congress and giving
thi'tii the olliciul stamp, 1 now propose to scud
them abroud, in connection with the news of the
day, iu such haste us shall outstrip full und accu
rate intelligence sent from the seat of Government
iu any other form whatever. It will even antici
pate the scraps of news lorwarded to cities within
two hundred ami fifty miles of Washington by tele
graph. Ilefore the events thus transmitted ar?
published iu the morning papers, (for instance, of
the city of New York,) the Globe containing them
will have reached the post office of that city by the
Express Mail of the previous night. The process
by which this will be effected 1 now laybctbre the
public.
I will have a corps of sixteen Reporters iu Con
gress ; each iu succession will take notes during
live minutes, then retire, prepare them for the
Press, put them slip by slip iu the hands of com
positors, and thus, while a debate is going on in
Congress, it will be put in type, and in a few miu
utes alter it is ended it will l>e in priut. I shall
by this means, be enabled to seud by the Express
Mail of A o'clock p. m. for the East, West, and
North, and by that of 9 o'clock p. in. for the South,
all the proceedings of Congress up to the ordinary
hour of adjournment. Thus the ucctlrate debates
of Congress will reach the cities two hundred and
filly miles Irom the Capitol before their daily morn
ing papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneous news I shall be careful to
gather from remote sections of the country by tele
graph. I will obtain from the Executive Depart
ments, through olliciul sources, the matters of mo
ment transacted iu them, and through ageuU
employed lor the purpose, all the city news of con
sequence in sullicient time to be put into the Globe
and mailed in the Express Mail trains. In this
way 1 hope to create a new era in the dissemina
tion of news from Washiugtou. Hitherto uo news
paper has attempted to give authentic accounts of
things done nt Washington Itelorethe public miad
at a distance had received its tirst impressions
form irresponsible telegraphic dispatches, or by
letter-writers biased by peculiar views.
Washington has now l>ecome so great a centre
of political interest during all the year?the pro
ceedings of the I'Jxec.utivu Departments and the
information collected by them even during the re
cess of Congress is of so much importance to the
interests of every section of the country?that I
shall continue the publication of the daily paper
permanently, with a view to l>ccoine the vehicle
of the earliest uud most correct intelligence.
It is part of my plan to reduce the price of the
daily paper to half that of similar daily papers; and
thus I hope to extend its circulation so as to invite
advertisements. 1 will publish advertisements of
the Government. To subscribers in the cities I
hope to submit such terms us will induce them to
advertise their business in every village through
out the Union, where the Globe is sentdaily under
the trunks of members of Congress, all of whom
take il, ami some of them a large numlier of copies.
The installation ol a new Administration and a
new Congress portends much change in thecourse
of public allitirs us the result of the next session.
Many vast interests which were brought up in th?
last Congress were laid over by the Democratic
majority to await the action of a Democratic Ex
ecutive. The new modeling of the tariff; the new
land system ; the question of giving homesteads,
and making every man a freeholder who may
choose to become one ; the approximation of the
Atlantic und Pacific oceans by a national railroad
across the territory of the Union : reform in the
Army, Navy,and civil ofiices?nil these great ques
tions. with a thousand minor ones, deeply affecting
multitudes of men and every State in the Union,
will, now being matured by public opinion, come
up for the Government's decision. These new
issues, cooperating with old ones, coming up to be
dis|iosed of by new actors on the scenes at Wash
ington. will lie apt to modify greatly, if not alter
essentially the party organizations of the country.
To these elements of interest another is likely
to be introduced by the interposition of the agita
t ions of Europe. After nearly forty years of peace
in Europe there is an evident restlessness that
now seems fraught with tendencies threatening
war; und ifwarcomcs, in all likelihood there will
follow such universal change that the United States
can scarcely hope to escape its vortex. Indeed
from lute events it is upparent that our government
is nlrcudy drawn into European difficulties. These
circumstances are calculated to draw the public
mind towards the next Congress with much ex
pectation.
The Daily Globe will be printed on fine paper,
double royal size, with small typ?, (brevier and
nonpareil,) at five dollars a year.
The Congressional Globe will also Ihj printed
on a double royal sheet, in liook lorm, royal
(iiiarto size, each numlier containing sixteen pages.
The Congressional Globe proper will be made
up of the proceedings of Congress and the running
debates as given by the Reporters. The speeches
which members may choose to write out them
selves will, together with the messages of th?
President of the United Stales, the reports of the
Executive Departments, and the laws passed by
Congress, be added in an Appendix. Formerly
1 received subscriptions for the Congressional
Glol?e ami Appendix separately. Rut this has
not lieen found satisfactory, inasmuch as it gave
an incomplete view of the transactions in Con
gress; and therefore I have concluded not to sell
them n part, considering that neighbors can have the
advantage of l>oth by clubbing, in case individuals
shall find il too onerous to be at the charge oflioth.
To facilitate the circulation of the Congress
ional Globe, and cheapen it to subscriliers, Con
gress passed lust year a joiut resolution making it
free of postage. I annex it, as the law may not
lie accessible to postmasters generally:
Joint Resolution providing for the distribution of the Law*
of Congress and the Deltatr* thereon.
With a view to the cheap circulation of the laws of Con
jrreH* and the debntes contributing to the true interpreta
tion thereof, nnd to make free the communication between
the representative and constituent bodies:
Ito it remlrrri by thr St naif and JlnuM of }{rprr*rnl?t<rti
of Ilia. Unilrtl Statu t{f Auuricu in <\utgr>-ju aitrmUtU, Tbat
from ami sfler the present session of Congress, the Con
gressional (I lobe nud Appendix, which contains the Isws
nml the delmte* thereon, slinll pss* free through the mails
ho long as the ssme "hull Ih? published by order of Con
|rre:.H . I'n.n'ilnt, That liolhlug licreiu shall lie corn-trued
to authorize the circulation of the Daily Ulolw free of
(lostnge. Approved, August A, IHJ.2
As 1 sell the Da.i.y Ot/ibe nt half the price of
similar publications, so the Congressional Guibk
nnd Appendix is sold for half the cost of so much
composition, press-work, and paper. This I can
afford to do, inasmuch as the subscription of Con -
gress almost covers the cost of com|tosition, and
this enables me to sell tor little more than the cost
of press-work und paper. It requires the sale of
about <.1,000 copies to reimburse expenses. IfftOO
only were sold, the cost of each copy would be
iiIkhii f 101! The debates in the English Parlia
ment cost aliout riffn times as much as I charge
subscribers for the debates in Congress, equal in
quantity, and as well reported and printed.
The next session of Congress will be a long
one; and it is believed the Congressional Globe
lor it will reach 1.00(1 royal quurlo pages, as the last
long session made and the long one l?cfore
that made fl.iK)l royal quarto pages?lour large
volumes each session. If subscribers will l>e care
ful to lile all the numbers received by them, I will
supply any that muy miscarry in the mails. This
w?>ik increases in value as it grows old. The
first seventeen volumes will now command three
and some of the subsequent ones twice,
their original subscription price.
The subscription price Ibr the Congressional
Glolie (including the Appendix and the laws) is
six dollars.
Complete indexes will lie made out and for
warded to subscriliersaoon nIter the session isemUxl
Subscriber* Ibr the Daily should have their
money here by the &tll. and lor the Congressional
