al speeches and proceedings. Congress has
authorized a large subscription for the work
and, the Senate, by resolution, has given it
the character Of an official journal of its
proceedings. The price is $l,OO per an.
mum, for the Congressional Globe, and 81 90
for the Appendix.
We would, also, call attention to the
prospectus Of Richie. & Heiss, in another
column. Their Register of Debates will
be valuable publication. No publishers
ever attempted so full, and complete reports,
as Messrs. Richie & Heiss presented to
their readers during the last session; and
now, that the miserable, candle end,economy
of Congress has stripped them of the public
printing, the democracy should sustain
them well, by patronizing their publications.

GRN. WooL's DrrroroN.-The Pieauno
has information that one half of The army
under command Of Gen. Wool left San An
tonic for the Preside on the Rio G raude
on the 26th of September. He expected to
reach that place early in October. The 9th.
er half was TO follow, under command of Col.
Churchill. The General will establish
depot at the Preside until it is ascertained
whether steamers can ascend the Rio
Grande to position more suitable for his
operations. His army will cross the river
on a flying bridge, boats for which were
constructed at San Antonio, under The di-
rectiou Of Capt. Fraser, engineer, and were
transported in wagons. The river at the
crossing is said to be near 400 yards wide,
from SO to 100 of which are swimming, and
with rapid current of six miles the hour.
If opposed by considerable force, the pas.
sage would be exceedingly difficult,and could
not be effected without great loss.
As soon as supplies are received to ena.
Bile him to advance, Gen. Wool will press
on to Chihuahua. taking Santa Rosa and
Monclova in his route. The former town
is garrisoned with regular troops and is said
to be capable of strong resistance. This
line Of operations is longer than might be
Sc lected, but it has the advantage ofturning
the mountain pssses-of abundance Of water,
and some provisions-and runs within
seventy or eighty miles Of Gen. TayIor's
with which cooperation can be readily
effected If necessary.
