The Yankee _Notions for 1854:
A New Volume. - Prospectus. In commencing
a new volume of The Notions, the subscriber begs
to say a few words to its readers and the world at
large. Twelve months ago, when the second vol
ume was begun, its circulation was but fifteen
thousand, all told ; it has now reached thirty thou,-
and, and increases with every number. As with its
circulation, so with its improvement, the last num
ber is always the beet one. This, however, is ac
counted for when its character,and the money laid
out upon it, is considered. nlike many similar
'attempts in this country, it does not copy outs from
the London Punch, and the like French and Eng
lish publications, but has a corps of artists of its
own, whom it pays liberally for their best efforts !
Its multitudes of its pictures, even its smaller ini
tial letters, are designed for it, and for no other
paper. This, and the amount, and ability of read
ing matter in each number, has run it up fifteen
thousand in twelve months, and will run it op
twenty thousand more during the next year.
For the literary portion of The Notions, the sub
scriber says nothing, and for the best of all rea
sons, it speaks for itself. It ranges over the whole
ground of wit and humor, from the keenest bon
mot and repartee, to the broadest and richest joke,
and anecdote. Tales, essays, sketches, witticims,
from the beat writers in the country; glances at
passing events at home and abroad, and in fact, it
is a general omnium gatherum of caricatures.—
Thus it has been during the two years of its exist
ence, bad thus, and a great deal more, too, it will
be in its third volume. Each number will consist
of thirty-two quarto pages, double.!eolumns, and
will contain from from fifty to one hnndred illus
trations. It will be printed on good paper,• on
clean new type, and, what is most wonderful of
all, afforded for the small snip of One Dollar and
Twenty-Five Cents per anntfnal Who can't and
won't subscribe at that ridiculously low price.—
Furthermore: To all who send in their subscrip
tions before the Fourteenth of. February, 1854, the
subscriber will send 6, Free Gratis, for Nothing,"
a beautiful Valentine, worth not lees than Twenty-
Five Cents. -
Here be inducements indeed. Now step up to ;
the Captain's office and settle.
The fire and second volumes are now -n the
hands of the Binders, and may be had, her tter,
in a variety of bindings in cloth and morocco. The
late fire which destroyed a part of the subscriber'a,
premises, has for a moment, retarded the getting
out of the back numbirs, but Its consequences are
being repaired daily, and the New Year commen
ces hopefully. Send on your subsriptions by hun
dreds, by thousands, " come one. come you
shall be accommodated, amused, delighted. En

Th e Perfect Grain Drill and
A- most Valuable Agricultural _lmplement.
A great improvement in Grain Drills, making this
excellent Agricultural Implement a , pefect Ma
chine, for which letters patent were issued Sep
tember 20th, to Mr. Samuel Jenkins, •of York co.
The improvement consists in attaching an ad
justable curved cutter of steel, to and through the
drag bar and through the point of the tooth or
drill, in front of the tooth, forming a triple edge
at the point, and enabling the tooth to raise up'and
glide over any obstructions, and completely regu
lating the depth of furrow required, and depositing
the grain to the depth, according to the character
of the soil. The Cutter likewise prevents weeds
or stubble from clogging or choking up the mouth
of the Drill. Heretofore insuperable disadvantages
have attended the use of the Grain Drill, on any
other than a level and even soil ; but by this sim
ple invention the operation of the Machine is made
complete and perfect, and this valuable Agricultu
ral Implement can now be used on uneven, stony
or rocky ground, or on new clearing, where the
stamps have not yot been removed, with the same
.easy draught and perfect operation, in Seeding ane
Drilling, as on even and clear soil, without jarrind
the Machine .in the least, or puttilg, the seeding
devices out of gear.
The model and specifications are now at the In
ventor's Institute, Fulton Hill, where .1. Franklin
'lteigart wiil be pleased to give every. information
to persons interested in the matter, desiring to ex
amine the same more particularly, or to purehase
County or State rights.
• Competent persons desirous of securing the
Agency to sell the County and State rights of this
most uselul Machine, should apply immediately.

Thy Globe.—The official paper of Congrea
JL and newspaper for the people.—lt will be sees
by the annexed extract from a letter of General
Washington to David Stewart, dated at New York
17th March, 1790, that URI idea of such a paper as
I propose_ to make the Globe, originated in the
mind of the father of him country. lie said :
"It is to be lamented that the editors of the dil
tercet Gazettes in the' Union do not more generally
and more correctly (instead of stuffing their papers
with scurrility and nonsensical declamation which
few would read if they were apprised of their con
tents) publish the debates in Congress on all greet
national question.. The principles upon which
the difference of opinion arises, as well as the de
cisions, would then come telly before the public,
and afford Hie beet data for itsjudgment. l, Sparks'
Writings or Washington, vol. 10, p. 84.
In surrendering my interest in the 'organ of a
great political party, I cherished the purpose of
continuing the Congressional Globe, and, if possi
.ble in time, to derfect it into afull hielory of the
action of Congress, giving the debater' adceratel
and fully with the proceedings—all stamped wi
the variety of an official record. From the passe
of the letter of General Washington, which I hay
quoted, it will be perceived that he thought thi
office might be combined with that of a regular
newspaper; and it is certain that the avidity of the
public for news of the less important kind greatly
contributes to give wings to the weightier matter
which may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of perfecting
the reports of the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp, I no%-propose to send
them abroad, in connection with the newa of the
day, in Etch haste as shall outstrip full and accu
rate intelligence sent from the seat of government
in any other form whatever. It will even antici
pate the scraps of newi forwarded to cities within
two hundred and fifty miles of Washington by tel
egraph. Before the events thus transmitted are
published in the morning papers, (for instance, of
the city of New York,)the Globe containing them
will have reached the poet office of that city by the
Express Mail of the previous night. The process
by which thls will effected I now lay before the
public.
I will have a corps of sixteen Reporters in Con
gress; each in succession will take notes during
five minutes, and then 'retire, prepare them for the
Press, put them slip by slip in the hands of com
positors, and thus while a debate is going on in
Congress, it will be put in type, and in a few min
utes after it is ended it will be in print. lehall by
this means be enabled to send by the Express mail
of 5 o'clock p. m. for the East, West and North
and by that of 9 o'clock p. m. for the Southall the
proceedings of Congress up to the ordinary hour of
adjournment. Thus the accurate clObates of L,on
gross will reach the city, two hundred and filly
miles from the capital, before their daily morning
papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneos news I shall be careful to
gather from remote sections of the country by tel
egraph. I will obtain from the Executive Depart
ments, through official source.; the matters of MC)•
went ttannacted in them, and, through agents em
ployed for that purpose, all the city news of con
sequence in sufficient time to be put into the Globe
and mailed in the express mail trains. In this viity
I hope to create a new era in the disseminauon of
news from Washington before the public mind at a
distance had received its first impressions from ir
responsible telegraphic despatches; or by letter wri,
ters biased by peculir views.
' Washington has now become so great a centre of
political interest during all the year—the proceed
ings of the Executive Departments, and the infor
mation collected by them, even during the recess
of Congress, is of so much importance to the inter
est of every section of the country—that 1 shall
continue the publication of the daily pal.er perma
nently, with a view to become the vehicle of the
earliest and most correct intelligence.
It is part of my plan to reduce the price of the
daily paper to halt that of similar daily papers; and
thus I hope to extend its circulation so as to invite
advertisement". I will publish advertisements of
the government. To subscribers in the cities
hope ,o submit such terms as will induce thou to
advertise their business in every village through
out the Union, where the Globe is sent daily under
the franks of memberr of Congress, all of whom
take it and some of them a large number ofcopies.
The installation of a new administration and a
new Congress portends much change in the course
of public affairs as the result of the next session.—
Many vast interests which were brought up in the
last Congress were laid over by the democratic
majority to await the action of a democratic exec
utive . The new modelling of the tariff; the now
land system; the question of giving homesteads
and making every man a freeholder who may
choose to become one; the approximation of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans by a national railroad
across the terrritory of the Union; reform in the
Army, Navy, and civil offices— all these great
questions, with a thousand minor ones, deeply af
fecting multitudes of men and every State in the
Union, will, now being matured by public opinion
come up for the government's decision. These
new issues, co-operating with old ones, coming up
to be disposed of by new actors on the scenes at
Washington, will be apt to modify greatly if not
alter essentially, the party organizations of the
country.
To these elements of interest another is likely
to be introduced by the interposition of the agita
tions of Europe. After nearly lorty years of peace."
in Europe, there is an evident restlessness that
now seems fraught with tendencies threatening
war; and if war comes, in all likelihood there will
follow such 'universal change that the United States
can scarcely hope to escape its vortex. Indeed,
from late events it is apparent that our Govern
ment is already drawn into European difficulties.
These circumstances are calculated to draw the
public mind towards the next Congress with much
expectation
The Daily Globe will be printed on fine paper,
double royal size, with small type, (brevier and
nonpareild at five dollars a year.
The Congressional Globe will also be printed on
a double sheet, in book form, royal qnarto size,
each number containing sixteen pages. The Con
gressional Globe paper will be made up of the
proceedings of Congress and the running debates
as given by the reporters. The speecli4 which
members may choose to write out themselves will,
together with the message of the President of the
United States, the reports of the Executive Depart
ments, and the laws passed by Congress, be added
in an appendix. Formerly I received subscriptions
for the Congressional Globe and Appendix sepa
rately. But this has not been found satisfactory,
inasmuch as it gave an incomplete view of the
transactions in Congress; and therefore I have con
cluded not to sell them apart, considering that
neighbors can have the advantage of both by club
bing in case individuals shall fiud it too onerous to
be at the charge of both.
To facilitate the circulation of the Congressional
Globe, and cheapen it to subscribers, Congress pas
sed last year a joint resolution making it free of
postage. I annex it, as the law may not be acces ,
Bible to postmasters generally "
Joint resolution providing for the distribution of the
Laws of Congress and the debates thereon.
With a view to the cheap circulation of the laws
of Congress and the debates contributing to the
true interpretation thereof, and to make tree the
communication between the representative and the
constituent bodies:
" Be it resolved by the Senate and Rouse of
Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That from and alter the
present session of Congress, the Congressional
Globe and . Appendix, WASch contains the laws and
the debates thereon, abaU hue free through the
mails so long as the same shall be poblielica iry op,
der of Congress: Provided, that' nothing herein
shall be construed to authorize the circtilaiion of
the Daily Globe free of postage.
Approved, August 6, 1852.
As I sell the Daily Globe at half the price of
similar publications, so the Congressional Globe
and Appendix is sold for half the coat of so iouch
composition, press-work and paper. This I can
afford to do, inasmuch as the subscription of Con
gress almost covers the cost of composition, and
this enables me to sell for litile more than the cost
of press-work and paper. It requires the sale of
about 9,000 copies to reimburse expenses. 1(500
only were sold,the cost of each copy would be
about $lO4l The ciebates in the English Parlia
ment cost about eleven times as much as I charge
subscribers for the debates in Congress, equal its
quantity, and as well reported and printed. -
The next session of Congress will be a long one;
and it is believed the Congressional Globe, for it,
will reach 4000 royal quarto pages, as the last long
session made 3842; and the long one before that
made 3901 royal quarto pages—fottr largevolumes
each session. If subscribers will be careful to file
all the numbers received by them, I will supply
any , that slay miscarry in the •mails. This work
increases to value as it grows old. The first sev
enteen volumes will now command three times,
and some of the subsquent ones twice, their ori
ginal subscription price.
The subscription price for the Congressional
Globe (including the Appendix and the laws) is
six dollars.
Complete indeses will be made out and forward
ed to subscribem soon after the session is ended.
Subscribers for the daily should have their mon
ey here by the 6th, and for the Congressional
Globe by.the 16th of December. The money must
accompany an order for either the Daily or the
Congressional Globe. Banks notes °anent where
a subscriber resides will be received at par. -
