To t!io?e who do not !>oard in college the charge

furniture, library. Sec., $25 per session. There is
an admission fee of $10. aud a small charge each 1
session lor contingencies. Fuel and lights ure fur- j

The uecessary college expenses of a boarding stu- i
dent will not exceed $1!*Q or $190 per annum. All ,
the bills are payable one half at the beginning, and
the balance at the middle of the session.
With a view of giving to tbe 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 ?
number and a inore varied class of students, some .
important changes have been made in the order ;
and arrangement of the students. A new course j
has been adopted, styled the Scientific Course, and
the degree of Batchelor of Philosophy (B. P.) at
tached to it. It will occupy about three years, and ,
will embrace all the studies of the regular course '
lor the degree of Bachelor of Arts, with the ex
ception of the anoient languages. This course
will be specially adapted to those who wish to ob
tain what is called a practical education, as 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 become 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 and illustrations. The doors ot
the College will also be opened to those who may
wish, under its general regulations, to pursue any
branch of study for any length of time. They may,
under the direction of the faculty, select such sub
jects as are suited to their views and objects in
life, and, on examination, may receive a regular
certificate of their standing and proficiency io 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 for filling immediately
the chair of chemistry, geology, mineralogy, and
botany in a manner that will add greatly to the in
terest and profit of those studies.
The preparatory department has been placed
undercarefulandedicient management, in a build
ing which has been handsomely fitted up for its
reception.. It has an able and experienced teacher,
aud is under the general supervision of the faculty.
It will thus aflbrd the best advantages for laying
the foundation of a thorough classical and mathe
matical education.
Boarding pupils will be received under the im
mediate care and direction of the principal, and at
aliout the same expense as regular college stu
dents.
Tbe buildings have recently undergone thorough
repairs, and the grounds are being laid out and im
proved in 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 liberal educa
tion. . J. S. BACON,

the publication of a great national work, of a very
description, /or which the
Itberal patronage of the American public is eonti
' ? W'" ?PPear 1,1 parts with such
promptitude that two volume# will be com pie tad
before the close of the present year. These vol
umes will be issued simultaneously, one being ex*
clusively devoted to eastern and the other to wes
tern subjects. Each part will contain lour steel
engravings, from original drawings by eminent
artists, representing either some remarkable view
from the splendid landscape scenery of the coun
try, or some public editice, whose architectural
beauty or historical character entitles it to such
commemoration. Ten parts will compose a vol
ume.
1 he present volume of the western section will
contain, uniong other illustrations, views of the
grand mid peculiar scenery of the Mississippi
river, from its origin at Itasca Lake down to its
mouth, below New Orleans. In a similar manner
the volume ot the eastern section will represent
only such subject* from the sea-board Suite* as
are moat striking ami truly American.
But it excellence has thus been aimed at in the
engravings, 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 monuraeat. Many of the best and
popular writers oi the country are engaged as
regular contributors, and the editorial direction of
the whole has lieen entrusted to the care of Mr.
Charles A. Dana, whose name is n sufficient guar
antee that the work will be one of solid merit, as
well as of elegance and beauty. Each number
will contain from 12 to lti pages letter-press, print
ed in elegant type on splendid 4to paper.
With the lust numbers each subscriber or pur
chaser of the two volumes, will receive to each
section ot the work an allegoric title page, exe
cuted in a high style of art, and as a premium, a
magnificent steel engraving, 36 by 25 inches, rep
resenting The Battle of Bunker Hill, from Trum
bull s great picture, whose superb execution ren
ders it a costly ornament, and whose subject will
muke 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 rates, whose cheapness only the largest
circulation cun justify: single numbers, each 50
cents; single volume, $5; the two voluntas, with
the premium plate, $10. General Agent for Ma

The illustrated magazine of
Art.?The number published on the lstof July,
being the commencement of a new volume, affords
an excellent opportunity for new subscribers te
commence the work.
The numbers already published ef the Illustrated I
Magazine ol Art have, at once placed it at the head
ol the magazines or any publication of the day
and no expense will be spared to render it, in
every aspect, worthy of its name: a Magazine of
Art. Ta render this mare strikingly apparent, the
proprietor has determined to incorporate with
"The Magazine of Art," the "History and Works
of the Painters of ail Nation*/' This splendid
series includes biographical notices of various
painters of celebrity, descriptive catalogues of their
performances, and beautifully engraved copies of
their chief wosks. The works of one painter will
appear in each monthly part.
The engravings preparing for future numbers
are in the hands of the first artists of America,
England, trance,and Germany. A series of tales
of the most interesting description are in the
course of publication, including "The School of
Life, written and illustrated by Anna Mary,
daughter of William and Mary Howitt, with en
gravings, from drawings made expressly by the
authoress. Also, an historical novel, entitled
The Dead Bridal, illustrative of the most inter
esting period in the history of the Venitian repub
lic, by Jonathan Freke Slingsby, of the Dublin
University Magazine; and contributions from
Wjlliam and Mary Howitt, Percy B. St. John,
r itzJames O Brieu, and other writers of distinc
tion in America and Europe.
The following is a brief outline of the plan of
the Magazine:

the national welcome with which the prospectus
was received, and the manner in which its pro

To have demonstrated that an original Ameri
can Magazine can command the lively iuterest and
substantial support of the American Public, and
challenge the admiration of foreign criticism, is a
success of which the publishers are proud.
They will spare no effort in deserving even
greater favor. They strll believe, as they said at
the commencement of the undertaking, that, "a

The number for January, l&M, will be the first
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 sold where there
waif but one before, and through the year it has
been steadily increasing.. It is now offered 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 numbers, which we might extend to a number
of pages.
"Those familiar with the Editor's monthly 'Gos
sip with his readers,' have doubtless, with ourselves,
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
dancing in the sunshine of a May morning. We
used to wonder how Mr. Clark held out, expecting
he must certainly 'snow brown' in the coming
number; but this number gives no sign of exhaus

HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY MAGA
zine has now reached a monthly edition of
over One Hundred and Twenty-five Thousand
copies, and the demand for it is still increasing
with greater rapidity than ever. This unparal
leled and unexpected success has compelled the
publishers to resort to extraordinary means for
printing the work with the requisite rapidity, and
at the same time preserving the typographical ele
gance by which it has always been distinguished.
It is now elecirotyped 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
edgments to the press and the public for the ex
traordinary favor which has thus far attended
their efforts to interest and instruct the great body
of the American people, and to renew their as
surances that every possible effort will be made
to increase still further the claims of their maga
zine upon public favor 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, and accompanied by
the finest pictorial illustrations which a lavish ex
penditure of money can command. They appeal
with confidence to the past, as a guarantee that
their promises for the future will De abundantly
fulfilled.
Teems.?The magazine may be obtained of
booksellers, periodical agents, or from the pub
lishers, at three dollars a year, or twenty-five
cents a number. The semi-annual volumes, us
completed, neatly bound in cloth, at two dollars,
and muslin covers are furnished to those who
wish to have their bark numbers uniformly bound,
at twenty-five cents each. Six volumes are now
ready, bound. The volumes commence with the

Eclectic magazine for ?m.?'me
sphere and the utility of the Eclectic Maga
zine have become too well defined to require ex
planation. Differing in aim from other magazines,
and supplying a want which is widely and increas
ingly felt by a more educated and intelligent por
tion of the community, it fills a place which could
be filled in no other method than by the principle
of selection which it adopts. The great reviews
and magazines of Great Britain and the Continent,
through which the leading minds of the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively, to express them
selves, are too numerous to be reprinted, as well
as too costly to be imported by the general reader.
They contain, likewise, much, with their desirable
articles, that lias but a temporary or local interest,
and which is worth to the American reader neither
the price nor time required to peruse it. To select
from the whole field of journalism all that is really
valuable, both the graver dissertations and discus
sions of the reviews, and the lighter and more
versatile contents of the magazines, is the pur
pose of the Eclectic. The best parts of all are
thus se?ured. without the cost or incumbrance of
the local or feeble parts of any. The main portion
of the Eclectic will continue to be composed 6f
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews;
while everything valuable or brilliant in ull other
periodical issues, particularly of Great Britain,
will be carefully presented. A richer and more
valuable aggregate will thus t>e furnished than the
contents of any single periodical could afford.
Embellishments of the highest order of subject
and engraving will occupy each number. Among
these will be richly engraved portraits of the most
distinguished living characters, especially in lite
rature, art, or statesmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr. Sartai.n, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style of the mezzotint.
Terms.?The Eclectic Magazine is issued on the
first of every month, in numbers of 1-14 large 8vo
pages each, on fine paper, making thkrk volumes
a year, with title pages and indexes. Price $5 per
year, if paid strictly in advance?otherwise $6.

Washington, Ottoder 19, 1856.
PROPOSALS will be received at this office
until 6 P. M. of the 'iOtb December next, for
furnishing bricks for the construction of the Wash
iugton aqueduct.
The whole quantity needed will probably be
about forty millions. Proposals should state the
quantity which each bidder will undertake to
furnish.
The bricks must be delivered at auch points of
the line as may from time to time be designated by
the engineer. The times and quantities will de
pend upon the appropriations made by Congress.
There are large depositee of clay suitable for
making bricks along the I'ne, and the contractor
will be required to furnish a sample of ths clay
and bricks before commencing the manufacture.
None but well made hard burnt bricks, entirely
acceptable to the engineer, will be received, and
they will be required to be made in moulds con
forming in sise to the municipal regulations ofthu
city of Washington.
Every oiler must be accompanied by a written
guaranty, signed by one or more responsible peifl
sons, to the effect that he or they undertake that
the bidder or bidders will, if his or their bid be
accepted, enter into an obligation within ten days,
with good and sufficient sureties, to furnish the
bricks offered. Said guaranty to be accompanied
by the certificate of the United States District
Judge, United States District Attorney, Navy
Agent , or some officer of the general government
or individual known to the Department of War,
that th j guarantors are able to make good their
guaranty.
All bids to be sealed and endorsed "Proposals
for Brick for Washington Aqueduct." The bids
will be opened in the presence of such bidders as
may choose to be present. As the certainty of
supply is very important, the failure of a con
tractor involving, probably, the stoppage of the
work for a whole season, the United States re
serves to itself the right to reject any or all the
bids, and to make sucn arrangements for the sup
ply of bricks as may be most advantageous to the
work. (See extract from Engineer Department
Regulations below.)

PATENT GAS REGULATOR.?The In
ventor (Dr. Kidder) of this economical and
useful instrument deserves the thanks of the gas
consuming community. The saving effected by
the use of it will be found fully 25 per cent, in ev
ery person's gas bill. If 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 pas light, occasioned by the
high pressure at which the gas is consumed. As
an evidence of its practical utility, it is now in op
eration in some of 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 economiser, can obtain all fur
ther information by calling on the subscriber, who
has fitted one of these Regulators up in his store,
and will give an illustration of it.

THE GLOBE:
THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS,
AND NEWSPAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
It will be seen by the unnexed extract from a
letter of General Wellington to David Stewart,
dated New York, 17th March, 1790, that the idea
of such a paper aa I propose to make the Globe
originated in the mind of the Father of hia Country.
He said:
" It la to be lamented that the editors of the different
Gasettes la tile Union do not more generally and more cor
rectly (instead of atuttng their paper* with acurrility and
nonsenaieal declamation, which few would read if they were
apprised of the contents) publUh the dehatea in Congreaa
<m all greet national queationa. The principle* upon which
the difference of opinion arias*, m well aa the deciaiona,
wonld then ootne fully before the public, and afford the beat
da^forMOudgment."?Sparkt't Writing, of WathmyLoa,
Th* Daily Globe and Thh Cumokissioml Globe
In surrendering my interest in the orgau of a
great political party, I cherished the purpose of
continuing the Congressional Globe, and, if possi
ble, in time, to perfect it into a full history of the
action of Congress, giving the debates accurately
and fully with the proceedings?all stamped with
the verity of an official record. From the passage
in the letter of General Washington, which I have
quoted, it will be perceived that he thought this
office might be combined with that of a regular
newspaper; and it ia certain that the avidity of the
public for news of the less important kind greatly
contributes to give wing to the weightier matter
which may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of perfecting
the reports of the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp, I now propose to send
them abroad, in connection with the news of the
day, in such haste as shall outstrip full and accu
rate intelligence sent from the seat of Government
in any other form whatever. It will even antici
pate the scraps of news forwarded to cities within
twq hundred and fifty miles of Washington by tele
graph. Before the events thua transmitted are
published in the rooming 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 thia will be effected I now lay before the
public.
I will have a corps of sixteen Reporters in Con
gress ; each in succession will take notes during
hve minutes, then retire, prepare them for the
Press, put them slip by slip in 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 min
utes after it is ended it will be in print. I shall
this means, be enabled to send by the Express
ail of 5 o'clock p. m. for the East, West, and
North, and by that of 9 o'clock p. m. for the South,
all the proceedings of Congress up to the ordinary
hour of a4journment. Thus the accurate debates
of Congress will reach the cities two hundred and
fifty miles lrom the Capitol before their daily morn
ingpapers 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 official sources, the matters of mo
ment transacted in them, and through agents
employed for the purpose, all the city news of con
sequence in sufficient time to be put into the Globe
ana mailed in the Express Mail trains. In this
way I hope to create a new era in the dissemina
tion of news from Washington. Hitherto no news
paper has attempted to give authentic accounts of
things done at Washington before the public mind
at a distance had received its first impressions
form irresponsible telegraphic dispatches, or by
letter-writers biased by peculiar views.
Washington has now become so great a centre
of political interest during all the year?the pro
ceedings of the Executive 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 become the vehicle
of the earliest and 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. I will publish advertisements of
the Government. To subscribers in the cities I
hope to submit such terms as will induce them to
advertise their business in every village through
out the Union, where the Globe is sentdaily under
the franks of members of Congress, all of whom
take it, and some of them a large number of copies.
The installation ol a new Administration and a
new Congress portends much change in the course
of public affairs as the result of the next session.
Many vast interests which were brought up in the
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 and Pacific oceans by a national railroad
across the territory of the Union ; reform in the
Army, Navy, and civil offices?all 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
disposed of by *ew actors on the scenes at Wash
ington, will be 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
tions of Europe. After nearly forty years of peace
in Europe there is an evident restlessness that
now seems fraught with tendencies threatening
war; and if war comes, in all likelihood there will
follow such universal change that the United States
can scarcely hope to escape its vortex. Indeed
from late events it is apparent that our government
is already drawn into European difficulties. These
circumstances are calculated to draw the public
1 mind towards the next Congress with much ex
pectation.
The Daily Globk will be printed on fine paper,
I double royal size, with small type, (brevier and
; nonpareil,) at five dollars a year.
Ine Congressional Globk will also be printed
on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal
quarto size, each number 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 the
President of the United States, the reports of the
Executive Departments, and the laws passed by
Congress, be added in an Appendix. Formerly
I received subscriptions for the Congressional
Globe and Appendix separately. But this has
not been found satisfactory, inasmuch as it gave
an incomplete view of the transactions in Con
gress ; and therefore I have concluded not to sell
them apart, consideringthat neighbors can have the
advantage of both by clubbing, in case individuals
shall find it too onerous to be at the charge of both.
To facilitate the circulation of the Congress
ional Globe, and cheapen it to subscribers, Con
!;rc?s passed last year a joint resolution making it
ree of postage. I annex it, as the law may not
be accessible to postmasters generally:
Joint Resolution providing for the distribution of the Laws
of Congres* and the Debate* thereon.
With a view to the cheap circulation of the laws of Con
pea* and the debate* contributing to the true interpreta
tion thereof and to make free the communication between
the representative and conatituent bodle*:
Be it rttelvtd by the Smalt and Nutue qf PeprtMntntivet
(\f the United State* qf America in Oonartu attrmbUd, That
from and after the present tession of Congre**, the Con
gressional Globe and Appendix, which contain* the laws
and the debates thereon, shall paaa free through the mail*
bo long as the aame shall be published by order of Con
ria: Provided, That nothing herein ahall be construed
authorise the circulation of the Daily Globe free of
postage. Approved, August 0,1852
As I sell the Daily Globe at half the price of
similar publications, so the Congressional Globk
and 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 composition, and
this enables me to sell for little more than the cost
of preas-work and paper. It requires the sale of
about 9,000 copies to reimburse expenses. If 500
only were sola, the cost of each copy would be
about $104? The debates ttrthe English Parlia
ment cost about eleven time* 3k 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
for it will reach 4,000 royal quarto pages, as the last
long session made 3,84'i; and the long one before
that made 3,901 royal quarto pages?four large
volumes each session. If subscribers will be care
ful to file all the numbers received by them, I will
supply any that may miscarry in the maila. This
work increases in value as it grows old. The
first seventeen volumes will now command three
timet, and tome of the subsequent ones ttttee,
their original subscription price.
The subscription price for the Congressional
Globe (including the Appendix and the laws) is
six dollars.
Complete indexes will be made out and for
warded^to subscribers soon after the session is ended
Subscribers for the Daily should have their
money here by the 5th, and for the Congressional
Globe by the 15th of December. The money must
aooompany an order for either the Daily or the
Congressional Globe. Bank notea current where
? subscriber resides will be received at par.
