proposed, if sufficient funds can be raised for ii that purpose. The corner-stone, it is under- ' stood, will be laid on the U2d of February next, if the site can be obtained in time, and then to proceed with it till it can be completed. W. The Board of Managers of the Washington National Monument Society, having determined to resume its collections, which had for some time been suspended, has appointed the Hon. Eiisha Whittlesey, of Ohio, the General Agent of the Society, whose office will be held in Washington. To hiin hus been delegated the power of appointing sub-agents, who will receive u commission on the funds they may collect nsa compensation for their services. It may be proper to state for the information of the public, that the <Jelay in commencing the Monument has been occasioned by the want of a proper site, which the Board had hoped would long since have been grunted t>y Congress. Though the expectations of the Managers have not been realized ns to the amotint of contributions made by those who have been called upon to uid in so noble a work, it bus not been suffered to lie idle. The Board, with commendable discretion, authorized the whole amount collected by the agents of the Society, about $29,000, to be invested in the safest stocks in the country, and placed in trust in the names of three respectable citizens of Washington, Samuel H. Smith, Nathan Towson, and Thomas Monroe, or the survivors or survivor of them, so as to ho free front risk, und subject with the accruing interest ut any moment to the accomplishment of the contemplated object. , To keep the public fully informed of the condition of the funds of the Society, the Treasurer has been required to publish, and has published, an unnuul report, showing the amount invested and on deposited some safe bank. It will thus be seen that the utmost care has been taken of the funds collected; for they have now more than doubled the sum ori' ginally contributed, and will be applied in good faith to the patriotic object for which the Society was organized. That object was to erect a monument ai the seat of Government, which should by its colossal magnitude and imposing grandeur exhibit to the ( [ yi the Editor of the Sationat I; THE MONl'MKNT TO WAHHINOTOSI. e As the pro])osed Monument to Washing- i ton is exciting a good deal of interest in this t country, I have thought that a description of it would be acceptable to your readers. The following will give some idea of the design adopted by the Board of Managers, and 3 which is intended to <bc executed on the scale ? remotest ages the gratitude of a nation of freemen to the man whose exalted good sense and pure vlr- , tues had so pre-eminently contributed to their happiness. With this view the Board of Managers have made every exertion in the power of men to make, and the hope is still indulged that the American people, influenced by an ardent feeling of patriotism and of the deeply cherished memory of the great founder of their liberties, will not fail to contribute to the erection of a structure that shall be commensurate , with their gratitude and veneration, and worthy ol him in whose honor it is to be roared. The Board designed at un early period to commence the Monument, but as no site could bo obtained sufficiently eligible on any other ground than the public mall, near the Potomac, and us that could only be obtained by a grant from Congress, which has not yet beeu made, that purpose has been unavoidably postponed till the next session of the National Legislature, when it is believed no objection will be made to allow the Board the use of the ground it desires for so laudable and patriotic an object. A design for the proposed Monument has been adopted and lithographed, and, when executed, will exhibit to the world the estimation in which the virtues and public services of the illustrious Washington were held by his countrymen. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the chur acter of the General Agent appointed by the Board of Managers to make .additional collections for the Monument, is such as to insure success, and produce entire confidence. It is known to the whole country ; and Mr. Whittlesey's efforts in this new and no ble undertaking, it is hoped, will be crowned with that success which cannot fail to accompany so glorious an object. The pilgrim to Mount Vernon, the spot consecrated by Washington's hallowed remains, is often shocked when he looks upon the humble sepulchre which contains his dust, and luiuents that no monument has yet reared its Jofty head to mark u nation's gratitude. It is true thut the "storied urn, the animated bust," or the splendid mausoleum cannot call back the departed spirit, or "soothe the dull cold ear of deuth but it is equally true that it can and does manifest the gratitude and veneration of the living for those who have-passed away forever from the stage of life, and left behind them the cherished memory of their virtues. The posthumous honors bestowed by a grateful nation un its distinguished citizens serve the further purpose of stimulating those who survive them to similur acts of greatness and of virtue, while the respect and admiration of the country which confers them upon its children are more deeply and ardently felt. The character of Washington is identified with the glory and greatness of his country. It belongs to history, into which it has infused a moral grandeur and beauty. It presents a verdant oasis in the dreary waste of the world, on which the rnind loves to repose, and the patriot and philosopher delight to dwell. Such a being but seldom appears to illustrate and give splendor to the annals of mankind, and tincountry which gave him birth should take a pride in bestowing posthumous honors on his name. It is not to transmit the'name or fame of the illustrious Washington to future ages that u monument should be erected to his memory; but to show that the people of this Republic at least are not ungrateful, and that they desire to manifest their love of eminent public and private virtues by some enduring memorial which, like the pyramids of Egypt, shall fatigue time by its duration. I ain authorized by the Hoard of Managers to say that a copy of .every journal in the United States which publishes the address shall be deposited in the corner-stone of the Monument. GEO.

I , I am very sensible of the distinction conferred by k the relations in which the Society has placed me : . and feeling, like tny illustrious predecessor, a deep interest in the object of the association, 1 cannot withhold, as an evidence of It, the acceptance of the appointment, though aware that in my uctunl condition it cannot be more than honorary, and that, under no circumstances, it could supply the loss which the Society has sustained. A Monument, worthy the memory of Washington reared by the means proposed, will commemorate, at the same lime u virtue, a patriotism, and a gratitude # truly national, with which the friends of liberty, every where, will sympathize, and of which our country inby always be proud.

The spaces between the pilasters are sunk into niches for the reception of the stutues of the fathers jf the Revolution, contemporary with the immortal Washington ; over which are large tablets to receive the National paintings commemorative of the battles aid other scenes of that memorable period. Opposite to the eutrance of thisgallory, at the extremity of the great circular wall, is the grand niche for the reception of the statue of the 44 Father of his Country"? elevated on its appropriate pedestul, and designated as princijtal in the group by its collosean proportion. This spacious Gallery and Rotunda, which properly may (pdenominuted the '4 National Pantheon," is lighted in four gruud divisions from above, and by its circular form, presents each subject decorating its walls in an interesting point of view, and with proper ellect, as the curiosity is kept up every moment, from the whole room not being presented to the eye ut one glance, as in the case of a straight gallery. Entering the centre pier through an urched way, you puss into a spacious circular urea, and ascend, with an easy grade, by a rail way, to the grand terrace, 75 feet above the base of the Monument. This terrace is 700 feet in circumference, 180*ect wide, enclosed by a colonnaded balustrade, 15'feet high with its base and capping. The circuit of this grand terrace is studded with small temple-formed structures, constituting the cupolus of the iuntcrns, lighting the Pantheon gallery below; by means of these little temples, from a gallery within, a bird's-eye view is had of the statues, &c., below. Thiv.ii.rh ?lw. hnan nf (tin rrr.ml nlrnln r.f I tin tint..a. trade are four apertures at the four cardinal points, leading outside of tile balustrade; upon the top of the main cornice, where a gallery 6 feet wide and 750 feet in circumference encircles the whole, enclosed by an ornamental guard, forming the crowning member on the top of the tholiis of the main cornice ol the grand colonnade. Within the thickness of thiB wail, stair cases descend to a lower gallery over the plafond of the pronaos of the colonnade lighted from above. This gallery, which extends all round the colonnade, is 20 feet wide?divided into rooms for (lie records of the monument, works of urt, or studies for artists engaged in the service of the Monument. Two other ways communicate with this gallery from oelow. In the centre of the grand terrace above described rises the lofty obelisk shaft of the Monument, BO feet square at the buse, and 500 feet high, diminishing a* it rises to its apex, where it is 40 feet square; at the. loot of this shaft and on each face project four massive zocles 25 feet high, supporting so many colossal symbolic tripods of victory 20 feet high, surmounted oy fuclal columns with their symbols of authority. These zocle laces are embellished with inscriptions, which are continued around the entire base of tht shaft, and occupy the surface of that part of the shaft between the tripods. On each face of the shaft abovi this is sculptured the four leading events in Genera Washington's eventful career, in basso relievo, and above this the shaft is perfectly plain to within 5( feet of its summit, where a simple star is placed emblematic of the glory which the name of Wash inoton has attained.

With reference to the area embraced by the foun dations and basement of the Monument, and the usei to which they may be applied, the underspace out wards, occupied by the lower terrace and coloqnade may be appropriated to the accommodation of tin keepers of the Monument, or those having charge o it and attending on visiters. These apartments, which are arched, arc well light ed and aired, as they are all ubovc ground, the ligh being disposed in the sunk punnets of the stylobate (base.) The principal entrance to all these apartment! will Ikj from the rear, or opposite side of tho portici entrance. The inner space, or that under the grant gallery, or rotundu, may be appropriated to cutn combs, for the reception of the remains of such dis tinguished men us the nation may honor with inter merit here. This subterranean gallery is so large ant lofty, that it would accommodate many catacombs. In the centre of the Monument is pluced the toml of Washington, to receive his remains, the descen to which is by a broad flight of steps lighted by th< same light which Illumines his statue.

The bloody drama in Mexico drags its slow length along, act alter act, scene after scene, with an intensity of interest that seems to grow with every day's events, and still there is no indication that we are approaching the denouement. The life exhibited by the Mexican Government, we consider as nothing more than the-convulsive throes preceding dissolution, and the resistance now made to our arms is little else than the vain efforts of a dying power. The peace we have, therefore, sought so diligently, will soon be beyond our wooing, and we shall have to enter upon a new scene in our relations with the people whose national existence we have taken away. What our policy is to be, in this respect, we hope and trust Congress will decide, and not leave to an unprincipled Executive to determine. [From the Baltimore Sun.) Late and Important from Mexico.

It is just as enervating and futul to the Southern,, us is that of Vera Cruz to the northern constitutions. The effective force of the entire urmy is reduced 10 or 15 per cent.. The city of Mexico was filled with rumors of peace. It was said that a quorum hud met ut (duerelaro, and that the majority decided in favor of an amicable adjustment of difficulties.

Mr. Bankhead, the British minister, arrived at Vera Cruz on the 30th ult., and was received with military honors. A letter from an English house, dated Puebla, October 20th, has been received at Vera Cruz, from which our correspondent makes the following extract?

Being entirely unprovided for, they subsisted by rapine and plunder. Lieut. E. B. Daniels, of the 2d Artillery, has died of his wounds. It is suid, and we believe truly, that Capt. Walker, of the Ritles, was killed in the uHhir at Uuamuntla. Capt. W. left the castle of Perote in command of 3 companies in udvance of Gen. Lane's train. Nine inilcs south of Pueblu he met 900 Mexicuns said to be under the immediate command of Santa Anu. In charging, Capt. W. received a lance wound entirely through .the body, and also lost a leg by a cannon shot. His personal antagonist in the charge, and who lanced him, was a celebrated guerilla chief; it is said : that he Imd sworn vengeance aguinst Capt.

A man named Raborg, of Bultimorc, interpreter for Captain Walker, lost a leg from a discharge of urtilicry. Col. Wynkoop writes thut the Mexicans were slaughtered after this like sheep. Torres, the editor of the Monitor Kepublicano, was cowldded for aspersing the churacter of a lady. A duel was fought near Vera Cruz, outside the Gate of Mercy, on the 1st inst., between Capls.

The steamer Ann Chase, and two three-masted schooners, have gone ashore in the harbor of Vera Cruz. Ail, it is supposed, will be totally lost. A duel wus fought about the 24th ultimo between Capt. Porter, of the rifles, und Capt. Archer, of the voltigeurs. At the second fire Captain Archer was shot in the abdomen?a severe but not a dangerous wound. Gen. Mora y Viilamil has been appointed Mexican Secretary of War, Lieut. Shacklcford, of the 2d artillery, has died of his Wounds. Ah fur back an the 14th ult., Generals Pillow and ShicIdH were able to be about. The political intelligence by this arrival is vague nnd unsatisfactory, though ns yet we have not had time to read a tithe of our letters or papers. The " Leonidas" letter inado n great stir in the army. We shull give ample details about it. One of the above duels grew out of it. The American Star says that the Americans have entered Orizaba. Their force was about 400?we suppose principally mounted men. No opposition was made to them. Muny merchants went in with them. The strain frigate Mississippi arrived at Vera Cruz on the 22d ult. n- ,? .. " r??ereon * command was to leave Vera Cruz on the 2d inst. Ii will be compoeed of nl leant 5,000 men.

The steamer Florida was in the same gale, and had to throw overboard all her mules. Lieut. Steen, of the South Carolina regiment, and Capt. iluddlcson, of the 14th infuntry, are dead; the former of his wounds, und the latter of a bowel complaint. There were several shocks of an earthquake at the city of Mexico on the morning of the 2d of October, pud aguin at midnight on the 5th. They do not appear to have been very severe, us no damage wus done in the city with the exception of cracking a few wulls. A new paper has been established in the Capital entitled La Ruzon. It is published entirely in Spanish, is a Democratic paper, and advocates the recstublishment of the constitution of '24. We regret to learn from the Star that Col. Roberts, of the 2d Pennsylvania regiment of volunteers, died at the capital on the Jd of October. Lieut. Joseph D. Racon, of the 8th infantry, died on the 12th ultimo of wounds receivedrut the battlfe . of Churubusco. The newspaper Kl Mexicuna, of the 14th ultimo, says it has received letters from Querataro, in which it is stated that Gen. Almonte has been received there with marked courtesey by the persons who appeared to be "most in power," and it was feured thut they were concocting a pronunciamunto against the lawful Government. The North American, a new paper established in the capital, and published in both Spanish and English, says, on the 15th, " It uppears that a largo number of deputies of the Congress, forming a junta, have got up a protest against Pena y Pena holding the Presidential power. Dr. Win. Roberts, of the medical staff, und attachod to the 5th Infantry ns surgeon, died on the 12th ult., of a wound recoived at the King's Mills. Capt. C. T. Huddleson, of the 14th Infantry, died at Mexico on the 11th ult., of diarrhtea. He wus in bad health from the time he left Vera Cruz. Capt.

Scnor Rosa, the Mexican Secretury of State, has under the instructions of Pena y Pena, addressed Snntu Anna a note from Toluca, ordering him to give up the command of the army to Gen.

Tile guerillas are on the road between Queretaro and the capital, and are plundering every traveller they meet. A letter dated tho 12th ult., received at the capital from Uueretsro, says Penu y Pena hod just arrived in company with u few deputies, making the total number in capital about fifty. It was thought, says, the Star, endeavors would be made at once to organize u Government, which would settle the question of peace or war. If a quorum of Congress could be assembled, the first question which would be brought up would be the presidency. Almonte was spoken of as tho candidate of the Puros and some of the Modorados, and Olaguibel, Governor of the State ofMexico, as the candidate of the opposing purties. Nearly all the officers of the dispersed army were at Quereturo, and it is said found it hard to obtain subsistence. The military force at Quorcturo consists of about 1000 cavalnry nnd infantry, with six pieces of artillery from Guadulqjara, under the command of General Hcrcdia. The Star is assured by a Mexican that the cathedral of Guadalajara had been sacked by the party opposing the church. The Star thinks there is something important and "deep-rooted" in this. The Star of the 16th inst. says, the assassination of American soldiers by the Mexicans had again commenced. Sergeant Sutliife, of the rifles, was killed the night before. A private in one of the infantry regiments was also killed the same night, and it was reported that two others were killed. They have an Italian opera at the capital, an American and Spanish theatre, several circusses, and besides these amusements, concerts and balls are frequent. Earthquakes, says the North American of the 29th ult., are at thA present time of very frequent occurrence in this beautiful country. A few days ago the village of Ocotla was totally destroyed. Tho Canton de la Barca has ulso suffered a severe shake, throwing down houses and the tower of the principal I church. We have had four of these unpleasant visiters in this city since our occupation of it. The " Mexican Eagle" is the name of a new Mexican journal just commenced at the capital. The editor does not believe in opposing an amicable adjustment of the differences, and says that Providence has decreed the destiny of the nation. The following is the substance of a motto at tho head of the Ragle: "An honorable peace ennobles nations, ahd the magnanimity of the north will not let them offer us terms other than honorable." The North American says the following officers have leave of absence and proceed to the U.

Walker, by order of the commanding General, took up his line of march to Huamantln, by way of the towns of San Francisco and i Guapnstlu. On his arrival at IIuamantle a sanguine- ' ry engagement ensued in the streets between the * force of Capt.
