PROSPECTUS FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.

 IXTE issue this Prospectus to- appirse the public w ofrenewed preparations on our part to pub fish the Congressional Globe and Appe n
 for the approaching session, and to invite subsrrp- tops The Houses having contracted with us ioF .he work on such terms as enable us now to make
 complete reports, to maltpy and issue the numbers
 quicker succession than heretofore, and without
 increasing the price to subscribers, we hope to make good return for the liberality and high official sanction thus bestowed on the publication. We
 snail increase the volume at least onetbird beyond the ordinary bulk. and endeavoT to add to its use-
 funess by extending still further it's large ciTcula ton.
 This last is not the least important point in the new of Congress. Faithful and durable reports of
 the debates of the body of value in proportion to
 the extent of their circulation among the people It k in this way that Gungfsss is brought into the
 presence of its remote constituents-that it obtains
 easy access and hold communication with them
 from day 10 day, and renders the government real
 y representative.
 Having received from all parties in Congress the
 strongest marks of appreciation and confidence, in
 ;he liberal means and permanent contract voted to
 continue the work, we shall not be found wanting
 in the impartiality and industry necessary to the due fufuent ol the engagement on our part. The
 next session will task to the utmost the best efforts those connected with the undertaking. If will
 be distinguished by discussions of extraordinary terests and results of abiding concern. The war,
 it, olign and conduct by officers in the cabinet and in the field, will furnish subjects Of profound in- qary and consideration. The terms of peace, the disposition to be made of conquesis, the consequen ees to be drawn from all that has been done af
 fecing parties in this country, ard especially as bearing on the approaching presidential election, will open up novel and powerful operating discus sions, rendering the councils at Washington during the next year pregnant of good or evil to this con inent as those of Rome were to the Old World in the days of her early energy. Such held Tor de- liberation and action was never presented 10 any previous Congress. All that has tanspired, or may hereafter tanspire before the close of the approach ing session ofC Congress, in New Mexico, California, in the capital of Mexico, and the provinces still de- pendent it, will under the consideration of the next Congress. Its debates will contain the history of the war; and it's action determine it's sas whether they be decided by arms or diploma ey. And whatever is developed concerning this vast and interesting matter the floor of Congress or Tn the Executive messages, will be found recor ded in the Congressional Globe and Appen. dix.
 The Congressional Globe is made up of the dally proceedings of the two Houses of Congress, and printed on superine double royal paper, with

 Every member will have an opportunity 10 read

 aooa' Inc same number of pages during session. During the first month or six weeks Of session 'nere IS rarely more business done than will make two numbers week--one the Congressional
 Globe and one of the Appendix; but during the
