Wars.-Thc undersigned having established per-
manent General Agency at the seat of Govern
ment for the prosecution Of claims against the
United States, continues to give his usual prompt
attention TO all business entrusted to his care.
The success he has achieved in bringing about
speedy settlement of old claims placed in his
hlnds, justifes him in believing that he will be
equally fortunate in behalf of his clients for the
future. Suspended Pension and Bounty Land
cases meet with special attention, and in no case
will fee be charged, unless the claim be allowed
and paid by the Government.
There are many representatives Of deceased
Naval Officers who have claims that can be estab
lished by applying TO the subscriber.

With view to the cheap circulation of the laws of Con-
ton thereof and to make free the communication between
the representative and constituent bodies:
% e. rsso.ses s oy ne a,e and House q R.preenat,res
from and after the present session Of Congress- the Con-
gressonal Globe and Appendix which contains the laws
and the debates thereon shall pass free through the
long the shall be published by order of Con-
gess: Prorided That nothing herein shall be construed
to authorize the circulation Of the Daily Globe free
postage. Approved, August 9, 1859
As sell the DAILY GLOBE at half the price of
similar publications, so the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX is sold for half the cost Of SO much
composition, press-work, and paper. This / can
afford to do, inasmuch as the subscription of Con-
gress almost covers the cost Of composition and
this enables me 10 sell for little more than the cos,
OF press-work and paper. II requires the sale Of
about 5000 copies to reimburse expenses. II 500
only were sold, the cost Of each copy would be
about Sl04! The debates in the English Para-
ment cost about eteven times as much as charge
subscribers for the debates in Congress, equal in
quantity, and as well reported and printed.
The next session Of Congress will be long
one; and il is believed the Congressional Globe
for II will reach 1000 royal quarto pages as the last
long session made ASA; and the long one before
that made 1901 royal quarto pages-four large
volumes each session. IL subscribers will be care
ful to file all the numbers received by them, will
supply any that may mscarry in the mails This
work increases in value as II grows Old The
first seventeen volumes will now command three
times, and some of the subsequent ones ticfcs,
their original subscription price.
The subscription price for the Congressional
Globe Including the Appendix and the laws) is
six dollars.
Complete indexes will be made out and for
wardedto subscribers after the session is ended
Subscribers for the Daily should have their
money here by the 9Th, and for the Congressional
Globe by the 18th Of December The money mus,
accompany an order for either the Daily or the
Congressional Globe Bank notes current where
