PK08PECTUS OF THE "NATIONAL MON
UMENT,"
A weekly journal to be published in Washington,
under the tancticm of the Washington National
Monument Society.
JAMES C. PICjKETf, BMtok and Pdbubhj*.
The Monument is intended to toe a literary, agricultural, j
and miscellaneous paper. It will contain selections of the
literature of the day?the best that can bo found In Amtri
can and English publications; Interesting scientific articles,
embracing mechanics; forcijfn and domestic news; a sy- ,
nopals of the proceedings of Congress, and evenr thing
that such a journal might be expected to contain, with
tho exception of party politics, which will I* at all times
most rigorously excluded.
The Monument will be published for the express and
the sole purpose of aiding lu 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 rejoice to
see completed. After deducting out Of the subscription
the expenses of the journal proposed to bo published.,
the remaining funds will be faithfully applied, and with
out reserve, to tho purpose indicated. The aid, therefore, j
of all who are willing to contribute to so patriotic an ob- |
ject, and one so entirely national, is earnestly requested.
By subscribing to the Monument, a valuable journal at a
iow prico may be obtained, while it will be doing some
thing, at the same time, towards completing that mnjestic
memorial of the Nation's gratitude.
Tho Board of Managers recommend Mr. Pickett, former
ly Fourth Auditor of the Treasury and Charge d" Affairs to
Peru, who proposes to edit and publish the Monument I
journal, art one well qualified to perform tho duties ol
editor, and to conduct the paper faithfully, and satisfac
torily to the subscribers. They assure their fellow-citizens
that this enterprise if not a speculation got op 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 ask a nothing mote,
than a very moderate compensation for his services. Not
one dollar, therefore, of the direot subscription to the
erection of the Monument will toe, in any event, applied
to the support of the paper, nor the Socioty in any man
ner held pecuniarily responsible.
To give the public an idea of what may be done with the
journal it is proposed to publish, it may be stated that a
list of fltty thousand paying subscriber-, at two dollars
each, will yield an annual net profit of from fifty to sixty
thousand dollars.
The postmasters, and secretaries of all organised bodies
throughout tho I'uion, are respectfully requested to act
as agents in obtaining subscriptions, thus aiding the great
object of our exertions.
As all editors and publisher!!, on account of the object
for which the Monument newspaper will be established,
must Wish tt to succeed, it ia hoped that they will con
tribute to Its success by publishing this prospectus.
All moneys will he remitted, and all ldtters and moneys
addressed prepaid, to the general agent of the Monument
Society, Hon. Ellsha Whittlesey, Washington.

ITewark Academy.
By a late re-organltaiioa of this department of Dela
ware College, the Board of Trustees have taken measures
to place it upon a new and improved foundation, and to
endow it with advantages possessed by few similar insti
tutions In the country. The Academy, heretofore merged
in the College, and of course subjected to all the evils
which have been found to attend the amalgamation of the
two departments in the same buildinjr, and under the
same govornmcnt. now onjoys the privilege of a separate
establishment, without losing thoae which result from Its
relation to the College proper.
A large and elegaut edifice, with all the necessary fix
tures or a complete hoarding establishment, has been
erected and furnished. In which the students of the Acad
emy board, under the immediate charge of the Principal
and his Assistants; and all Its exercises are conducted on
a system of Its own, uninterrupted bv the Interests At
operations of the other department. The furniture Of tke
study-rooms and dormitories has bi<en chosen with pecu
liar reference to comfort and. .convenience for study; ahd
no ffxpense has been spared In providing the apparatus
necessary to render the means.of Instruction complete;
giving to Newark Academy facilities for prinitr study sTid
comfortable accommodation of students, fully equal to
those afforded by many of out Colleges.
Prom Its Intimate relation to the College, students Of
the Academy nvjHff many advantages not generally ob
tained at Institutions of this kind. Those who wish to
pursue some particular branch which falls more properly
within the Ortlefre conrwe, may he admitted to recite In

excellfd by any cotemporaneous Reports, in learning,

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS.
Post Orricx DePAMinarr, \
March 14,1861. /
T being deairable to subsOtnte locka and keya of some
. other Kind for those now in use for the mall aervloe
of the United Stated, 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 be submitted to a commis
sion for examination and report Upon this report, oon
trarte will, as soon aa practicable, be entered Into for fur
nishing auch locka audkeyB for four yeara, with the right
on the part of the Postmaster Geucral,for the time he'11*,
to extend and continue the contract In force for an addl
tional term of four yeara, by giving to the contractor a
written notion to that effect, not more than nine nor leaa
than six months before the termination of the first term
f With a view of procuring the best lock at the lowest
price, no kind of lock la prescribed aa a standard, tho 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 atate that a lock aultr
able for the mall aervloe should possess the following qual
ities, vU: durability, uniformity, lightness, and strength.
For the purpose of displacing simultaneously all the
mall locka and keya now In uae, about thirty thousand
new locks and twenty thousand keya adapted thereto will be
required to be furnished by the contractor within seven
months after the contract shall have boen entered Into;
afterwards the annual supply will depend on the durv
blllty of the locks and keya adopted, as well as the in
crease of the mall service; but it will probably never ex
ceed In amount three thousand of the former and one
thousand of the latter. .... , , ,
No lock will be considered if It he like any already in
general use; nor will anyone with whom the contract
may be made be allowed to make, sell, or furnish, any
lock or key similar to those contracted for for any other
purpose or use than that of the Post Office Department
The kind of lock adopted must be patented, and the pa
tentee will be required, on entering intoooutract, to make
an assignment of his patent for the exclusive use and ben
efit of the Department, H the Postmaster General shall
deem such requirement essential to the tnteresta of the
service. In ease of the failure of the contractor at anv
time tn fulfil fcithfully the tenna and conditions of hla
contract, the Postmaster General shall have the right,
hasiles a resort "to th* penal remedy hereinafter men
tioned. to anhul said eontrwet, and to contract anew with
any other party or parties as he may see fit, for famishing
similar locks and keys. ... . ,
In deciding upon the proposals and specimens offered,
the Postmaster General may deem It expedient to select
for the through mails the loek ef one bidder, and for the
way malls that Of another, He reserves, therefore, the.
right of <-ontreating With different Individuals for such
different kinds of locks as he may select, and also the
right to rqfect all the specimens and proposals, If he shall
deem that oourse for the Interest of the Department. The
party o* parties contracting will be required to give bond,
with ample security, In the sum of thirty thousand dol
lars, for a faithful performance of the contract. The con
tract is to contain provisions for the due and proper in
spection of the locks and keys, and also for guarding
against their passing Into Improper hands; the terms of
these provisions to he arranged between the Department
and the suocessful Irfdder, If a hid should he accepted.
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
