Old Soldi Kits.?A correspondent of the Pcnsncola Observer writes that there are two old soldiers in camp at Warrington Xavy Yard?one belonging to an Ala? bama company, "who is seventy years old, and who challenges competition for the performance of duty and endurance generally with any one within twenty years of his age."

THE GLOBE, THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGEE IPUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of THE DAILY GLOBE, and the CONGRESSIONAT G LOBE, to remain subscribers, and inform those who may desire to subscribe, that Congress will meet on the first Monday of next December, when* I shall resume publishing the above-named papers. They have been published so long, that most pub? lic men know their character, and therefore I deem it needless to give a minute account of the ki&d of matter they will contain. THE DAILY GLOBE will contain a report of the Debates in both branches of Congress as taken down by reporters, cqucul, at least to any corps of short hand-writers in this, or in any other country. a majority of them will each, be able to report, verbatim, ten thousand words an houy, while, the av? erage number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven thousand five hundred words an hour. When the debates of a day do not make more than forty-five columns, they will appear in The Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, also, the news of the day, together with such editorial articles as may be suggested by pass? ing events. THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPEN DIX will contain a report of all the Debates in Con? gress, revised by the speakers, the Messages of the President of the United States, the Annual Reports of the Heads of. the Executive Departments, the Laws passed during the Hessions, and copious in? dexes to all. They will be printed on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, at least 2,000 pages. This is acknowledged to be the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copy, taking for data the average num ber of words it contains. The coming session will, without doubt, be a unusually interesting one, because the debates w' in a great measure, be upon the policy of tin-- P6' ident elect, and The Globe will be, as it he/?6 for many years past, the only source fro' full debates of Congress can be obtained.
