In surIendering my interest in the organ Of a
great political party. cherished the purpose oi
continuing the Congressional Globe, aud. if poe

the action Of Congress. giving the debates accu-
rateiy and fully with the. pr proceedings--al stamp

the passage IN the letter Of General Washing tom
which have quoted. II viii be perceived that he
thought this office might be combined with that

avidity Of the public for news of the less impor

Having succeeded in my purpose Of perfecting
the reports Of the debates in Congress aud giving
them the official stamp, | now propose to send
them abroad, in connection with the news Of the
day. in such haste as shall outstrip full and accu.
rate Intelligence from the pt Gov vernment
in any other form whatever. Ii will even antici
pate the scraps OF news forwarded to cities within
two hundred and fifty miles OF Washington by
telegraph Before the events thus transmitted are
published in The morning papers. tor instance, of
the city of New York, the Globe containing them
will have reached the post office of that city by
the Express Mail OF the previous night The pro-
cess by which this will be effected now lay be.

! 1 will have o corps of sixteen Reporters in Con
gress; each in succession will take notes during
five minutes, then retire, prepare them tor the
Press. put them slip by slip in the handsof CON-
positors, and thus, while a debate is going on in
Con gress it will be put in type. and la fe mu-
utes after it is ended 1t will he in print. i shall
by this means be enabled to send by the Express
Malloi 5 O'Clock p. m for the East West, and
North. and by that of 8 o'clock pm m. for the
Sonth, all the proceedings of Congress up 10 the
ordinary hour of adjournment. Thus the accu.
rate debates of Congress will reach the cities two
hundred and fifty miles from the Capitol before
their daily morning papers are in clTculation.sfa
| The miscellaneous news l shall be careful TO
gather from remote sections of the country by
telegraph. I will obtain from the Executive De.
partments. through official sources. the matters
of moment iransAUted in them. and. througl agents
employed for the purpose. all the city news oi
consequence in sufficient time to be put into the
Globe and mailed in the Express Mail trains. Ii,

/ semihation OF news tram Washington. Hitherto
no newspaper hns attempted to give authentic ac.
counts OF things done at Washington before thr

Of political interest during all the year-the pro
