PROSPECTUS OF THE "NATIONAL MON
UMENT,"
A weekly journal to be published in 7f ashing ton,
under the sanction of the Washington National
Monument Sociclg.
J AM US C. PICKETT, Kditor and Publisher.
The Monument is intended to be a literary, agricultural,
and miscellaneous paper. It will contain selections of the
literature of the day?the best that can be found in Ameri
can and English publications: interesting scientific articles,
embracing mechanics; foreign and domestic news; a sy
nopsis of the proceedings of Congress, and every thing
that such a journal might be expected to contain, with
the exception of party politics, which will be at all times
most rigorously excluded.
The Monument will be published for the express and
the sole purpose of aiding in the erection of the noble
column now rising on the banks of the Potomac, in hon
or of the Father of his Country, and which every one
who venerates the name of Washington would Njolce to
Bee completed. After deducting out of the subscription
the expenses of the journal proposed to be published,
the remaining funds will be faithfully applied, and with
out reserve, to the purpose indicated. The aid, therefore,
of all who are willing to contribute to so patriotic an ob
ject, aud one so entirely national, is earnestly requested.
By subscribing to the Monument, a valuable journal at a
low price may be obtained, while it will be doing some
thing, at the same time, towards completing that majestic
memorial of the Nation's gratitudo.
The Board of Managers recommend Mr. Pickett, former
ly Fourth Auditor of the Treasury and Charge d'Affairs to
Peru, who proposes to edit aud publish the Mouumcnt
journal, as one well qualified to perform the duties of
editor, and to conduct the paper faithfully, and satisfac
torily to the subscribers. They assure their fellow-cltiiens
that this enterprise is not a speculation got up for indi
vidual emolument. Mr. Pickett will make the experiment
with his own means and at his own risk; if successful, he
will receive nothing more, and he asks nothing more,
than a very moderate compensation for his services. Not
one dollar, therefore, of the direct subscription to the
erection of the Monument will bo, in any event, applied
to the support of the paper, nor the Society in any man
nor held pecuniarily responsible.
To give tho public an idea of w hat may bo done with the
journal it is proposed to publish, it may be stated that a
list of fifty thousand paying subscribers, at two dollars
each, will yield an annual net profit of from fifty to sixty
thousand dollars. .
The postmasters, and secretaries of all organized bodies
throughout the Union, are respectfully requested to act
as agents in obtaining subscriptions, thus aiding tho great
object of our exertions.
As all editors and publishers, on account of the object
for which the Monument newspaper will be established,
must wish it to succeed, it is hoped that they will con
tribute to iU success by publishing this prospectus.
All moneys will be remitted, and all letters and moneys
addressed prepaid, to tho general agent of the Monument
Society, Hon. Eiisha Whittlesey, Washington.
Officers.?Millard Fillmore, tsyojficio President; Arch.
Henderson, First Vice President; Walter Lenox, (Mayor
of Washington,) Second Vice President; Thos. Carbery,
Third Vice President; J. B. II. Smith, Treasurer; Geo.
Waiters ton, Secretary.
Board of Managers.?Winfield Scott, N. Towson. Thos.
Mull roe, W. A. Bradley. P. R. Fendall, Walter Jones,
Thomas Blagden, Peter Force, W. W. Seaton, M. F. Maury,
T. Hartley Crawford, Benj. Ogle Tayloe, Elisba Whittlesey.
T<-rmit.?The Monument will be printed on ft double
royal sheet?the paper and type being of the best quality?
and in quarto form, containing sixteen large pages, that
it may be more easily preserved. The price will be two
dollars per annum, payable on the receipt of the second
number. The nature of the enterprise not admitting of
any credit, none can be given.
Societies and clubs will be furnished with the Montment
on the following terms: 3 copies for $5; 6 copies, $8; 10
copies, |tl5; Ac.
Those who are disposed to patronise the Monument are
requested to forward their names to the General Agent,
without delav. The first number will be published early
in May, and the second on tho second day of August, and
weekly thereafter; time being allowed for the Prospectus
to be circulated, aud for the agents to make returns. As
all subscribers will be contributors to tho Monument
itself, their names will be published in the paper.

2d. The Cream during the progress of freezing becomes
charged with atmospheric air, by which It nearly doubles
in hulk, and obtains that peculiar smoothness, lightness,
and delicacy of flavor, for which the lee Cream of our

In every respect, than by any othor mode.

per day during the season; and so far as regards expedi

rpiIK TESTIMONY OF ONK OF OUH LAWYERS.?
I X Mr. J AS. L. HAMILTON?Dear Sir: Although the
, number and respectability of the testimonials of which
[ you are already In possession, as to the efficacy of your
Medicine, "THE GREAT VA. REMEDY," in tho diseases
which it is designed to cure, are sufficient, In my opinion,
to establish its reputation, aud secure for it such patronage
as will adequately reward you for the discovery of so ines
timable a Medicine?yet the great benefit which I have
derived from its use, and the salutary effects which 1 have
wjtues*<*l from its employment In the cases of several
friends, to whom I hud recommended it, constrain mo to
contribute, for such use as you may think proper to make
ot it, this formal acknowledgment of its sanitary virtues.
My own case was Dyspepsia of long duration, and very
aggravated in its character, manifested by an almost total
destruction of the digestive inactions, great deWlity, ner
| vousness, emaciation, and impaired appetite, with pain,
and a burping sensation in the left side of tho chest, palpi
tation of the heart, vertigo and congestion lii the head,
and luitny other.symptoms indicative of the worst type of
the disease, by tho use of three or four bottles of your pre
paration, been entirely relieved. The cases of my friends,
in which your Medicine'Was taken, were Dyspepsia, Chro
nic Headache, and Sore Throat, in all of which it proved
efficacious, alter the trial of a vast number of other rem*!
dies without benefit. Your modicine is as pleasant to the
taste us a cordial, and in my experience corrects all de

( energies of the digestivo organs, aud imparts strength aud

Messrs. T. A J. W. Johnson:
Gentlemen?In reply to your letter, I can with great
sincerity my, that I entertain a very high opinion of the
recent Exchequer Reports. In my Judgment they an- not
excelled by any cotciupcranoous Reports, in learning
ability, or general utility and interest. The dnecs decided
are discussed with great care, and expounded with uncom
mon force. I scarcely know of any volumes which I deem
of men) importance or value for a Professional Library.

Cavbridox, January 25,1845.
Gentlemen: Your letter of the 24th has been received,
in which you ask my opinion as to the value of the Eng
lish Exchequer Reports, from Price downwards to this
time, to an American Lawyer, and as to the expediency of
reprinting them in this country. Of the high value of
these Reports, both on the Pleas and Equity sides of the
Court, I have not the least doubt?the decisions of this
Court for the last fifteen or twenty years, both at Equity
and in Common Law, being entitled to equal respect with
any othen. in England. 1 should think an American
Lawyer's Library essentially incomplete without them.

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS. ~
Post Ornci Di;m>tmut, )
I_. . . March 14,1861. /
T being desirable to substitute locks and keys of some
other kind for those now in use for the mail s?irvice
of the United States, specimen locks and keys, with pro
posals to furnish the same, will be received and considered
at the Post Office Department until the first day of July
next. The different locks will 1ms submitted to a commis
sion for examination and report. Upon this report, con
tracts will, as soon as practicable, be entered into for fur
nishing such locks and keys for four years, with the right
on the part of the Postmaster General, for the time being
to extend and continue the contract in force for an addi
tional term of four years, by giving to the contractor a
written notice to that effect, not moro than nine nor less
than six months before the termination of the first term
of four years.
With a view of procuring the best lock at the lowest
price, no kind of lock is prescribed as a standard, the De
partment relying for a selection on the mechanical skill
and ingenuity which a fair competition, now invited, may
develop. It la, however, proper to state that a lock suit
able for the mail servile should possess the following qnal
Itles, via: durability, uniformity, lightness, and strength.
For tho purpose of displacing simultaneously all the
mail locks and keys now in use, about thirty thousand
new locks and twenty thousand keys adapted thereto will be
required to lie furnished by the contractor within seven
months after the contract shall have been entered Into
afterwards the annual supply will depend on the dura
bility of the locks and keys adopted, as woll as the in
crease of the mail service; but It will probably never ex
cecd in amount three thousand of the former and one
thousand of the latter.
No lock will bo considered If it be like any already in
general use; nor will anyone with whom tho contract
may he made, bo allowed to make, sell, or furnish any
lock or key similar to those contracted for for any other
purpose or use than that of tho Post Office Department.
The kind of lock adopts must lw patented, and the pa
tentee will be required, on entering into contract, tomnkc
an assignment of his patent for the exclusive use and ben
ent of th? Department, if th? Postmaster <icn< ml shall
<tecm aoch requirement essential to the interests of the
JlLfT*!*? ^i'"? of th" "ontractor at nny
time to fulfil faithfully the terms and conditions of hi*
contract, the Postmaster Oeneral shall have the right,
besides a resort to the pennl remedy hereinafter men
tion.^, to annul Mid contract, and to contract anew with
any other party or parties as he may see fit, for furnishing
similar locks and-keys.
In deciding upon tho proposals and specimens offered
j the Postmaster General may deem it expedient to (elect
, for the through mails the lock of ono bidder, and for the
war ?n?uls that of another. Ho reserves, therefore, the
right of contracting with different Individuals for such
different kinds "f locks as he may select, and also the
right to ntfect all the specimens aud proiK>sals. if he nhall
j deem that course for the Interest of the Department. The
party or parties contracting will be required to give l*>nd
| with ample security, in the sum of thirty thousand dob
1 'a?, for a faithful performance of the contract The con
tract is to contAin provisions for the due ami Kroner in.
spectlon of the lock* and keys and also for guarding
I against their pawing Into improper hands; the terms of
I these provisions to lie arranged between the Department
and the successful bidder. If? bid should lx- accented
; No application will be considered if not accompanied
with satisfactory evidence of the trustworthy character of
the bidder, and of his ability to fulfil the contract.
