The Navier-Stokes system for one-dimensional compressible fluids with density-dependent viscosities when the initial density connects to vacuum continuously is considered in the present paper. When the viscosity coefficient u is proportional to pθ with 0 〈 θ 〈 1, the global existence and the uniqueness of weak solutions are proved which improves the previous results in [Vong, S. W., Yang, T., Zhu, C. J.： Compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate viscosity coefficient and vacuum II. J. Differential Equations, 192（2）, 475-501 （2003）]. Here p is the density. Moreover, a stabilization rate estimate for the density as t → ＋∞ for any θ 〉 0 is also given.
