Our Arrangements for the ext Congress.
We are making arrangements tor a corps Of re-
porters and correspondents al Washington, during
the next session of Congress, which WILL we think.
outstrip any piece OF newspaper enterprise hereto
fore attempted in this country, and surpass any
thing OF the kind which we have exhibited in our
past career II is agreed on all hands that the next
session Of Congress Will be one Of the most interest
ing which has taken place during the last thirty
wears. IL will be the beginning of new age-the
opening OF new era-the breaking out OF a new
feeling IN all that relates 10 our foreign and domestic
affairs. The success of Texas annexation and the
prospect of soon acquiring Oregon and California :
thus rounding of of the limits of the republic, from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific together with the extra
ordinary progress and prosperity of this country in
all Its internal matters, including the Improvements
of the age in steam, railroads and the magnetic te
legraph seem to point out the present era as one OF
the most remarkable IN the last thousand years In
view OF all these matters, the proceedings OF the
next Congress will be of the greatest Importance,
and we have accordingly nearly completed our ar
rangements for corps of reporters, more efficient,
more popular and more independent than any news
paper IN Washington or any set IN the country. We
intend TO have set OF reporters for each house of
Congress, together with correspondents, whose bu-
slness it will be TO watch the movements OF the Ex-
ecutlve, and TO report the social and political events
at the west end of the capital.
This is an important era, not only in the move
ments Of nations, and in the progress Of society,
but also in the development of the newspaper press
The efforts now making to establish magnetic lines
OF telegraph between all the principal cities Of the
Union, in connection with The metropolis at Wash
ington,a and the great commercial and general metro
polls of New York, is going to produce change in
dented in the history of the world. We are con-
vinced, from the character and results of this new
mode of transmitting intelligence, that the press
will be more centralized than ever and that the our-
mails Of New York, of leading character, will have
hereafter circulation beyond every anticipation OF
any expectation. The aggregate circulation Of the
Ne,c York Herald is now nearly fifty thousand, cir
culating probably amongst one hundred and fifty
and indi II
and coteres Of all kinds throughout this country
and IN foreign parts. When the magnetic telegraph
shall have been in operation, and the simple events
OF the day be capable OF transmission with the ra-
pidty of lightning, from NewYork to New Orleans.
and all the Intermediate places, an intellectual in.
dependent newspaper press will be developed in the
large cities, and particularly in New York-a sys-
tenn of Capitalization of mind and intellect, and
thought will be produced which will render useless
great portion of the small papers of the day, tina
merely communicate news by retail or second hand
Such the view which we take of the present DO
sitIon of affairs in this country, in connection with
every element Of society and the development Of
the newspaper press. We are making extensive ar.
rangements TO avail ourselves Of all these new i'm
provements, and TO direct them to a development
of the press in every department. that will yet aston
lsh the world Our arrangements thus far are near
ly completed for the session of Congress, and we
shall go on, regardless of all expense, to make such
Improvements as the state of the times demands.
PRINTER TO CoNGREss-A great deal of Fictitious
importance begins to be thrown around the election
Of Printer to Congress. This arises from the pecu-
lar position of the Administration, and the various
conflicting elements which exist In the democratic
We rnIa Uacb
tain propositions have been made by the whig
leaders, to Blair ~ Rives for the purpose of inducl ne
them to stand in opposition to Richie & Heiss
as Printers to Congress- We think, however. it will
be utterly impossible for the ex-printers to form any
coalition with the wings, in order to strike blow
at the Administration at the reshod of the session
Blair himself Is not to inspire much conf
dence, for the announcement made by him relativ,
TO the intended publication Of " "Congressiona

transaction, after making contract with Richie &
Heiss selling out the Globe, with the "good wiI' 0
the whole concern. AS to his partner, John C
Rives, we have higher opinion of his straight
forward integrity, than that he would violate an,
agreement acknowledged or expressed. with Mr.
kltchie There can be no doubt that the wings, ant
probably some of the democratic ciigues, would b,
very glad to concentrate their power and force upol
Blair y Rives, to give them the printing, and s,
defeat Mr.. Polk, by prostratng Ritchie at the open
ing OF the session. But that such coalition coult
succeed seems extremely doubtful.
Another arrangement is talkad of, and that is, te
give the printing of the House to Rltchie and Hess
and the printing OF the Senate to Hart and Harris
