FROM THE EDITOR.
Wasbington, JulY 8. IS4l

Washington, July 8, lS4l.
arrived here on last evening, from
Phi ladel pha, and never have 1 witnessed
such a scene as Washington presented
though | have frequently been here dur
ing the sittings Of Congress. But this
IS called an "ertrdOrdinary" session
and truly il is the most extraordinary
det6erGtire body the nation ever Witness
ed on so large and grand a, scale. We
have heard much of the "great whig
measures freform," which were TO fiji
lhe nation with riches & happness--but
most unfortunately for the beople, it now
seems that their only measures, on which
there is any agreement, ara the public
Treasury and the only reform they can
possibly accomplish would be TO adjourn
as soon as possible, and stop further ex.
pense and disgrace. MIR. Clay's meas
uies are clearly iu the minority at pres
ent--and as he claims for them the title
OF the true unadulteraied whig measures.
the conclusion is irresistible that they are
not in favor withthe American people.
MI Tyler, il is well known, was edu.

The CRoPs.-The New York Journa
of Commerce says:-"from the best in
formation we can obtain as to The pos
Pecis Of fthe early crops--and we have ve-
ry carefully examined the reports from
different parts Ofthe country for a week
or two Past-we are inclined 10 believe
that there will be about an average, com.
pared with former years. In some dis
tricts, the wheat crop will be light, while
in others II will be uncommonly heavy.
The late rains have been extensive, ifnot
universal, throughout the whole wheat
growing region"

"A fact.

THE Pension LIsT.-By a Report Of
he Secretary of War, it appears that the
numberOfpersoners receiving pensOnsun.
der the several acts ofthe years 1918, %,
'32, '36 and 3s, is 40,l05. The number
ot invalid pensioners is 4,2S9, of which
Id have been added since Nov. $780,
tho increase owing, the Secretary says, TO
the dangers and hardships to which the
'eguIar and militia troops have been ex.
posed in the several campaigns in the
Florida war.
The number orRevOlutionary pension
ers, under the act of March Is, 1918,
which was originally upwards of2O,OOO
has decreased to 7947.
Tho number of widows who have re-
ceived pensions, under the act of July 7,
1888, granting them for five years, was
5,9l2; but it is now reduced by death, to
5,546, and during the current year all of
those now on the rolls, under that act,
will be dropped; as their pensions will OK
pire, by law. on the 9TH of March next.
The amount drawn from the Treasury,
during the past year, to pay pensions, is

pensions paid from the Navy Pension

with bran! Oh dearl pity me; was ever
a man so unfortunate. This sealed my
doom--She would never speak to me, OF
even look at me afterwards.
But this was not all. NV character
with the sex-ay, with both sexes, was
also destroyed. who had been hereto
fore, as | said, considered an example of
prudence and discretion for the young
men, was now set down as thoughtlsss
devil Of wag, never TO do we'll; the
men treated me coldly and the women
turned their backs on me; and thus, in re-
ality, they made me what they had sup
posed | was. 1t was indeed no wonder,
for could never after see a lady with
buslle, but | felt an irresistible Inclina-
ton to laugh, and this too even on Occa-
sions when | should have kept a grave
countenance. If met couple of cOun-
try, or other friends in the street and en-.
quired after their family--the cause, per-
haps, of the mourning in which they were
attired, to THEN astonishment would take
to laughing, and if there was horse near
us, give the lady push to one side.
And then, if we're asked the mean
ing of this ill-timed mirth and singular
movement, what cauld say7 Why,
sometimes / made the matter worse,
by replying, "My dear madam, it is only
to save your bnstle from the horse!"
Stung at length by my misfortunes and
utter hopeIessness of my situation, ! be-
came utterly reckless, and only thought Of
carrying out my revenge on the hustle in
every way in my power; and this |
must say with some pride, did for awhile

hated articles manufactured for myself
but, not reader, to wear, as you sbIll
hear. Oh, no but whenever | received
an invitation 10 party-which indeed,
had latterly been seldom sent mel took
one of these articles in my pocket, and
watching a favorable opportunity when
all were engaged in the mazy figure of
the dance, and let it secretly fall amongst
them. The result may be imagined-ay,
reader, imagine it, for cannot describe
it with effect. First the half-suppressed
but simultaneous scream Of all the ladies',
as it was held up for claimant; next
the equally simultaneous movement OF
The ladies' hands, all quickly disengaged
from those of their partners, and not rals-
ed up in wonder, but carried down to
their busiles! Never was a movement in
the dances executed with such precision;
| cannot say it was graceful, yet should
be immortalized as the inventor of an at
timde,sO expressive ofsentimont and feel

PROSPECTUS
FOR THE

CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.
TWNHESE works will be published by US during
the approaching session of Congress. They
have had such wide circulation in the United
States, and their usefulness and cheapneSs are
so universally acknowledged, that we deem 1t
unnecessary to give a detailed account Of
what the future numbers will contain. Suffice
it to say that they will be invaluable to all who
eel an interest in the proceedings of Congress.
No other publication gives them SO full, nor halt
so cheap. 1t is, indeed, the cheapest publicatio
in the United Statss--perhaps in tho world.
Our position at the seat of Government enables
us to print them at so low rate. We are COM
PEELED to publish the proceedings Of Congress in
detail, for our daily paper. This done, 1t re-
qures, comparatively, but small additional ex.
pense to change them to the forms of the Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix. lfit were not
for thsse circumstances, we could not publish
them for four times the sum charged. In some
parts Of the United States, the white paper, up
on which these works are printed, would sell for
as much as we charge for the publications
The Congressional Globe is made up of the
daily proceedings If the two Houses of Congress,
aud the speeches of the members condensed.
The yeas and nays OIL all important subjects are
given 1t is published as fast as the business Of
the two Houses afford matter enough for mum.
hsr Each number will contain six royal quarto
pages, of small type. We expect to publish
thrse numbers for every two weeks of thessssion.
The Appendix contains lhe speeches OF the
members at full length, written out by themselves,
and is printed in the same forn as the Congress
sional Globe. 1t is published as fast as the
speeches can be prepared by the members.
Each Of these works is complete in itself. But
it is desirable for every subscriber to have both
because, il there should be any ambiguity in the
synopsis Of speech in the congressional Globe,
or any denial of it's correctness, il may be remo-
we'd at once, by referring to the speech in the
Appendix
Indexes to both are sent to subscribers as
soon as they can be prepared after the adjourn-
mont of Congress.
For one copy of the Congressional Globe 81
For one copy Of the Appendix 81
Six copies of either Of the above works will bS
sent for S., twelve copies for S 10, and PrOPOr-
tonate number of copies for larger sum.
Payments may be transmitted by mail, postage
paid,at 'Ur risk. The notes Of any incorporated
bank in the United States, current in the Sec
tiOn of county where a subscriber resides, will
be received
Tt insure all the numbers, the subscriptions
should be here by the 18th of DscembHr next at |
farthest
The Democratic papers with which we exchagS
will please give this prospectus an insertion.
tErNo attention will be paid to any order un-
less the money accompanies it.

Persons subscribing, will please designate
which paper il Is that they desire.
The approaching session ofthe Ohio Leg islat tufe,
viii be one OF more than usual interest 10 all par
ties. The COrwin administration will be in
progress-his inaugural will have developed his
measures, or rather ths measures Of the Bankers
and Aboitists that elected hin,, and in whose
hands he is.
When these measures are presented to the
Legislature by Governor Corwin, as is his duty
oy the constitution, the tug of war will COM
mence in the Legislaune; and, for the hrst time
for wears, the people will have an opportunity Of
seeing what the principles Of whiggery really are
in practice, and ia rcomparision can be made
between the doctrines of the two partiess touch
ing the great interostsof equal rights and const-
tutiOnal government.
We shall have good reporters, and use what
industry we are capable Of employing on our pa
per, to give correct and extensive view OF all
tbeir doing: and the first curious item will be
law reducing the salaries of alt the officers in the
State, as promised to the people. The next will
be, to raise the wages oflabor-increase the price
of wheat and introduce the negroes fresh
from Kentucky into our courts as witnesses, and
into our common schools but not into our Colleges
where Bankers children congregate. All these
hard cider and coon skin movements will be ie-
corded with care and precision, and when neces-
sary. made into first rate Tippecanos songs, and
sung to keep the members spirits up.
,fAP \nd the scheme already on foot, as we
are informed, to chain down the people by a
great Bank machinery, more powerful than the
throne of the Russiaa Autoc,at, will be watched
with due care Let the people read and judge
for themselves.
The proceedings of Congress will also be due
ly given as heretofore.
