prospectus!
for the congressional globe
AND APPENDIX,
WE issue this Prospectus to apprise the public
of renewed preparations on our pan to pub
lish the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE L APPEN
DIX for the approaching session, and to invite
subscriptions. Jhe two Houses haying contracted
with us for the work, on such terms as enable us
now to make complete reports, to multiply and
issue the numbers in quicker succession than here
tofore, and without increasing (he price to sub
scribers, we hope to make a good return for the
liberality and high official sanction thus bestowed
on the publication. We shall increase the volume
at least one-third beyond the ordinary bulk; and
endeavor to add toils usefulness by extending still
further its large circulation, °
1 his last is not the least important point in the
vlewjof Congress. Faithful and durable reports of
the debates of the body are of yalqe in proportion
to the extent of their circqlation among the people.
is in this way that Congress is brought into the
presence of its remote constituents—that it obtains
easy access and holds communication with them
from day today, and renders the government real
ity representative.
Having received from all parties in Congress the
strongest marks of approbation and confidence in
the liberal means and permanent contract voted to
continue the work, we shall ijof be found wantin'*
in the impartiality and industry necessary to the
due fulfilment of the engagement on our part. The
next session will task to the utmost the best efforts
of those connected with the undertaking. It will
|>e distinguished by discussions of a ary in
terest and results of abiding concern. The war,
its origin and conduct by officers jn the cabinet and
ju the held, will furnish of profound inquiry
and consideration. The terms of peace, the dis
position to be made of conquests, the consequences
to be drawn from ail that has been done, as affect
ing parties in this country, and especially as bear
ing on the approaching presidential election, will
open up novel and powerfully operating discus
sions, rendering tne councils at Washington during
the next year as pregnant of good or evil to this
continent as those of Rome were to the Old World
in the days of her early energy. Such a field for
{deliberation and action was never presented to any
Congress. All that has transpired, or may here
after transpire before the close of the approaching
session of Congress, in New Mexico, California, in
the capital of Mexico, and the provinces still de
pendent on it, will come under the consideration of
the next Congress. Its debates will contain the
history of the war. and its action determine its re
sults, whether they be decided by arms or diplo
macy. And whateyer is developed concerning
this vast and interesting matter on the floor of Con
gress or in the Executive messages, will be found
recorded in the CqNQRF-SSjoNAL Globe and Ap
pendix.
The Congressional Globe is made up of the <}aily
proceedings of the two Houses of Congress, and
printed on superfine double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the members in this first form,
are condensed—Mhe full report of the prepared
speeches being reserved for the Appendix, All
resolutions, mot ons, find other proceedings, are
given in the form of the Journals, with the yeas
and nays on every important question.
Every member will hare an opportunity to read
llis remarks before they are put to press, and alter
our report, if he shall thjnk it incorrect.
The Appendix is made up of the President's an
nual message, the reports of the principal officers
of the government that accompany it, and all
speeches of the members of Congress, tvritten out
or revised by themselves. It is printed in the
same lorm as the Congressional Globe, and usually
makes about the same number of pages during 4
session.
louring the first month or six weeks of a session,
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week—one of the Congressional
Globe and one of the Appendix; but during the re
mainder of a session, there is usually sufficient mat
ter lor two or three numbers of each every week.
Ihe next session will be unusually interesting,
therefore, we, calculate that the Congressional
Globe and Appendix together will make near 3,000
large quarto pages, printed in small type—brevier
and nonpareil. We furnish complete Indexes to
both at the end of a session.
We will endeavor to print a sufficient number of
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar
ried, or lost in the mails ; but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply 4.LL the
lost numbers.
We have a few surplus copies of the Congression
al Globe for the last session of Congress, which we
will sell for the original subscription price —$1 a
cony.
We have no surplus copies of the Appendix for
that session.

OLD PIANO FORTES,
MADE AS GOOD IN TONE AS WHEN NEW.
MR. O. B. RICE, (formerly of New York,)
Tuner and Repairer of
PIANO FORTES AND ORGANS,
Respectfully informs those owning Instruments,
that he is prepared to do any thing required in his
profession. He has in his possession recommenda
tions from Mr. J. Chickering, Boston; Messrs.
Nunns A Clarke; Firth, Hall & Pond; Stoddart,
Worcester A Duncan, New York, and many in the
South- A few are here inserted.
Boston, June 22, 1843.
I take great pleasure in recommending Mr. O. B.
RICF, as a Tuner of Piano Fortes, and do not hesi
tate to say that he will do justice to any who may
wish to employ him. J. CHICIvERJNG.
Augusta, (Ga.) March 9, 1841.
Mr. O. B. RICE having been engaged in this
Jilace for several months, in tuning and repairing
*iano Fortes, 1 take pleasure in stating that he
proves to be an excellent tuner and experienced
repairer of Piano Fortes. 1 therefore recommend
him with cpnfidence to the patronage of the pub
lic. ANTON IVERSEN.
Columbia, Nov. 9,1843.
I hereby certify, that Mr. O. B. RICE has been
long known to qae as a tuner of Piano Fortes, and
I consider him one of the most competent to tune
and repair Pianos I have ever met with, I there
fore confidently recommend him to those desiring
Pianos tuned. I profess to hare some knowledge
in his line myself antj speak understandingly.
SAMUEL WEIR.
MR. RICE has some time in the Factories
North, since ’41, and has made several important
improvements in repairing Pianos and Organs, and
will giye £IOO if any can be found to excel him in
tuning or repairing; He has abandoned the old
practice of softening and brushing the old leathers
on the hammers, and other parts of the machinery,
knowing that it gives better satisfaction to put on
new leathers and cloth throughout, where it is
needed. The tone in Pianos becomes harsh by use,
and can be restored in all Instruments that have
been well made.
His price generally for fuming, re-leathering,
See., Nunns A Clarke’s. Chickering’s, and similar
Instruments, will be from 10 to 13 dollars. Old
English Pianos, from 15 to 20 dollars.
For Tuning in the City, Three Dollars.
If any desire it, he will call and examine their
instruments, and make known the cost of putting
them in order.
Mr. R. intends staying in Augusta but a few days,
if he does not get employment. As he now resides
in Cokesburv, Abbeville District, S. C. he will
visit Augusta once or twice a year, if patronized.
Those, wishing to employ him, will please leave
their address at Mr. Grenville’s Book Store, or
Mr Chaffee’s Furniture Ware Room,

r „. PACTS WORTH KNOWING
IT is now universally admitted that the mysterious
power of Galvanism has an important and won
derful effect on the animal economy; in fact, the
whole Nervous or Vital System ha*s been likened
to a Galvanic Battery, of which the Brain is the
great Centre, the Spinal Column, the connecting
chain, and the countless Nerves which ramify
from this important structure, the conducting wires
whereby the generated influence is brought to
every portion of the animal frame. This is not a
fanciful theory, but a positive and unquestionable
fact, which can be most conclusively demonstrated.
It is therefore no matter of astonishment that the
new and beautiful application of this wondrous
agent, as developed by DR. CHRISTIE’S GAL
VANIC RINGS, BELTS. BRACELETS, Ac.,
should be of such vast benefit in many of the most
afflicting diseases to which we are subject. In the
long tram of Nervous Complaints, its effects are al
most magical, and the most severe cases of Para
lysis, Epileptic Fits, Dyspepsia, Bronchitis, Tic Do
loreux, Neuralgia, and many other derangements
of the nervous system, readily yield to the efficacy
of Christie's Galvanic articles and remain per
manently cured. Severe cases, in which benefit
was unexpected, are often as completely relieved
as others.

and pamphlets with full descriptions, rqay be had
