n ewspaper Arrangements.


We are preparing, gradually, to complete severa
improvements in the newspaper arrangements o
this establishment Thece arrangements will EN-
brace, particularly, the introduction Of new sys.
tenn for reporting the proceedings OF Congress. as
well as plan OF general correspondence from the
neghboring large cities, comprehending Boston
Albany, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Baltimore, Washing
ton all OF which may be considered-under the ope.
ration oil the telegraph-the suburbs OF New York,
the great metropolis and centre of thought and ac
ion of the Union
A great revolution has been effected in the news
paper press OF this city, and the neighborng cities,
during the last ten years. We are on the verge of a
still greater revolution, to be caused principally, by
the introduction Of the magnetic telegraph, as
mode OF interchanging intelligence. What effect
this change may have on the newspaper press, tits
hard, as yet, TO say. This wonderful Geographic
intercourse, connecting Washington, Boston, Bufa-
10, and all the intermediate cities, with New York
The CENTRE Is rapidly under way, and will pro-
badly be accomplished within week or two. Our
final arrangements will not be made until we see
The operation OF this wonderful agent of intelli-
gence, after II shall have gone into effect.
Some new changes will be, undoubtedly, pro-
duced by its Influences and some new plans will
hayeto be adopted, in order TO apply its powerful
agency to the aid Of the newspaper press. Private
efforts must give way TO its great general power
and efficiency, as medium Of conveying intelll-
gence. With regard to the reports in Congress,
we can, IN the event of the proceedings before
either House becoming of sufficient importance to
Justify IT. create body of reporters, in the course
OF single day, and thus, during the session, have
them fully and accurately reported at once. We
have, connected with this establishment, force
comprehendIng nineteen, forming our corps of re-
porters, ten Of which are located in this city, the
rest IN Washington and elsewhere and we could,
upon any occasion that might demand
II, send on TO Washington detachment
or eight orsten reparters as circumstances may re-
qure. 1t may be necessary, when the tariff ques-
uon comes before Congress, as well as when other
important debates approach, to do this; and as
soon as the magnetic telegraph shall have been CON-
peled between this city and Washington, which
will be the case in short time, and we ascertain
the result OF that Invention in connection with the
newspaper press, we shall organize our establish
ment anew, and particularly arrange new system
for giving the reports of the proceedings in Con-
gress, IN a novel, graphic, and readable form.
Apropos OF Washington reporting-it was stated
IN our columns, few days ago, that the Union en-
ployed two persons in each house. report the pro-
ceedings of both bodies. We have been request
ed by Richie md Heiss to correct this statement,
which, they say, IS Inaccurate, and to state that
they employ three in each house for that purpose.
Not having any wish to make any misstatement,
even in this small matter, relative to that or any
other Journal we take pleasure in making the cor
rection on their authority.
