The great CELEBRITY with which the letter-wriiers
for the distant press circulate through the ieie-
graph their hurried accounts and views OF tne
debates of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Cox
eREssioNAL GLoBE. The hasty, and IN many
instances &c parte, relations by telegraph OF whnE
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most par.
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, ana
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abhrv-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfecuons
and variety OF chickering's, take the run of the conn
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
islence. While, therefore, the telegraph admnru-
ters TO the eager appetite ofthe pubic for Congrese
news, and meets the necessities of the potictii
press, by furnishing q rapIdly-Wrltten onuouie
