PROSPECTUS OF TIIK "NATIONAL MON
UMENT,"
A weekly journal to be published in Washington
under the sanction of the Washington National
Monument Society.
J AMBS C. PICKETT, Editor wd Publisher.
Tho Monument is intended to be a literary, agricultural,
and miscellaneous paper. It will contain selections of Jie
literature of the day ?the best Oilcan be found In Amort
can and English publications: interesting scientific articles,
embracing mechanics; foreign and domestic news; asy
liopsls of the proceedings of Congress, and every thing
that such a journal might be expected to contain, with
the exception of party politics, wluch will be at all times
most rigorously excluded.
The Monument will be published fur tho express and
the sole purpose of aiding lu the ereotlon of the noble
column now rising on tho banks of the Potomac, in hon
or of the Father of his Country, and which every one
who venerates the name of Wabhisoton would rejoice to
see completed. After deducting out of the subscription
tho expenses of the journal proposed to be published,
tho remaining funds will be faithfully appliud, aud with
out reserve, to the purpose indicated. The aid, therefore,
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
low nricc Pi ay be obtained, while jt will be doing some
thing. at the Bame time, towards completing that majestic
memorial of the Nation's gratitude. p, . .. f rmer.
The 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 Monumen
journal, as one well qualified to perforin the duties of
editor, and to conduct the paper faithfully, and satisfac
torily to the subscribers. They assure their fellow-citizens
that this enterprise is not a speculation got up for indi
vidual emolument. Mr. Pickett will make the "lament
with his own means and at his own risk; if successful, h
?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 be, in any event, applied
^b, support of the paper, nor the Society in any man
neTobgivePtho public ?Tidea of what may b*dorie with the
journal it is proposed to publish, it may be^ Stated that a
list of tifty thousand paying subscribers, at two dollars
each, will yield an annual net profit of from fifty to sixty
'^ThtTpostmasters, and secretaries of all organized bodi^
throughout the Union, are respectfully requested to act
us agents In obtaining subscriptions, thus aiding the great
object of our exertions. . ? .
As all editors aud publishers, on account of the o^ect
for which the Monument newspaper will be esti^ltshed,
liiujt wish It to succeed, It is hoped that tliej will con
tribute to Its success by publishing *kls Prospectus.
All moneys will l>e remitted, and all letters and moneys
addressed prepaid, to the gcnoral agent of thu Monument
Society, lion. Elisha Whittlesey, Washington.

Austin's Magic Freezer,
Through in tiz minultt. For the preparation of j
Ice Cretim?, Water Ices, Ac.?1'atented Sep
tember 19, 1848.
1MIE distinguising merits of this Apparatus are?
1st. The astonishing rapidity of the process, surpass
ing belief?hence the name.
2d. The Cream during the progress of freeiing becomes j
?harped with atmoffpheric air. by which It nearly doubles
[in bulk, and obtains that peculiar smoothness, lightness,
and Uellcacr of flavor, for which the Ice Cream of our
best Confectioners is so highly prized.
3d. It does not require a tenth part of the labor that
the common Freezer docs.
4in. itiiursiui nurt uctter, producing a Detter article,
in every respect, than by any other mode.
6th. There is a considerable saving In Ice, as the tub
needs no replenishing during (he operation.
The annexed testimonial from the Proprietor of the
F.utaw House win put to rest all doubt.
" Having witnessed the proccss of freezing Ice Cream
iu Austin's Magic Freezer, two quarts of Cream having
tmen frozen in the incredible short time of six minutes, 1
cheerfully recommend it to the public." ?
H. F. JACKSON,
Eutaw House, Baltimore, May 16, 184ft.
? "This is to oertlfy, that during the summer of 1848.1
used one of Austin's Patent Ice Cream Freezers of the
largest size. (10 gallons,) making from 10 to 60 gallons
per day during the season; and so ftvr as regards expedi
tion and power, I consider It decidedly the best freezer
now in use, as I have had with It no difficulty in making
ten gallons of superior quality Ice Cream from five of
plain Cream, in thirty minutes from the time I com
menced working it. A. H. BROWN,
Baltimore, April <J, 1851."

oue of the healthiest parts of the city of Wilmington, en

the fact that, since the establishment of the School, about
twenty-eight years, very few owte* of serious iudUnoaition
have oocurred among the pupils, and nut a single death
either hare, or from diseases contracted while here.
The course of instruction Includes, beside* the ordinary
English branches, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Physi
ology, History, Rhetoric, the various brauchus of Mathe
matics, and the I.atin, Greek, and French languages. Par
ticular attention is paid to the higher Mathematics und
their application to Mechanics and Engiutsoring; the latter
and Surveying are taught practically by held operations
with the use of appropriate instruments. Lectures on
Natural l'hllosophy aud Chemistry, in which all the U|>
portant principles are illustrated by experiments, art
regularly delivered before the students.
As the ohjuot is to make the instruction as thorough
aud practical as possible, no expense hus been spared in
proviiiing suitable apparatus. It 1* believed that, in tlii*
respect, the Institution will compare favorably willi any
similar one In the country. A carefully selected library,
of more than one thousand volumes, containing works on
the various branches of Literature and Science, furnishes
ample reading matter; while a laboratory, fully supplied
with apparatus and tests, contains all that is necessary for
practical Instruction in Chemical Manipulation.

excelled by any cotempcraneous Reports, in learning

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS.
Post 0*nc? Department,!
March 14,1861. /
IT being desirable to substitute locks and keys of some
other kind for those now in use for the mail servic.
of the United States, specimen locks and keys, with pro
posals to furnish the same, will lie 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 (V>r examination and report. Upon this report, eon
tracts will, as soon as practicable, be entered Into for fur
nishing such locks and keys for four years, with the right
on the |>art 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 ii
written notice to that effect, not more than nine nor loss
thnn six months beforo 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 oil the mechanical skill
mid Ingenuity which a fair competition, now invited, may
develop. It I*, however, proper to state that a lock suit
able for the mail servioe should prowess the following qual
ities. viz; durability, uniformity, lightness, and strength.
For the purpose of displacing simultaneously all the
iiail locks and keys now in use, about thirty thousand
new locks and twenty thousand keys adapted thereto will lie
required to be furnished by the contractor within seven
months after the contract slinll have been entered into;
afterwards the annual supply will depend on the dura
bility of the locks and keys adopted, as well as the in
crease of the mail service; hut It will probably never ex
ceiil in amount three thousand of the former and one
thousand of the latter.
No lock will bo considered If It ho like any already in
general use; nor will anyone with whom the contract
may be made lie allowed to mske, sell, or furnish, any
lock or key similar to those contracted for for any other
purpose or use than that of the Post < Ifflce Department.
The kind of lock adopted must be patented, and the pa
tently will hi; required, on entering Into contract, to make
an assignment of his patent for the exclusive use and lien
eflt of the Department, if the Postmaster Oeneral shal'
deem such requirement essential to the Interests of the
service. In case of the failure of the contractor st any
time to fulfil faithfully tho terms and conditions of his
contract, the Postmaster General shall have tho right,
besides a resort to the penal remedy hereinafter men
tioned, to annul said contract, and to oontract anew with
any other party or parties as he may see fit, for furnishing
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 lock of one bidder, and for the
way malls that of another. He reserves, therefore, the
right of contracting with different individuals for such
different kinds of locks as he may select, and also th<
right to r<ijoct all the specimens and proposals. If ho shall
deem that course for the interest of the Department. The
party or parties contracting will be requin-d to give liond,
with ample security, In the sum of thirty thousand dol
lars, for a faithful performance of the contract. Theoin
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 be arranged between the Department
and the successful bidder, if a bid should bo accepted.
No application will be considered if not accompanied
with satisfactory evidence of the trustworthy character of
tho bidder, and of bis ability to fulfil the contract.

Dear Sir: I wish to express to you the gratification I
derived on receiving the July number of the Merchants'
Magazine and Commercial Keview, from viewing your
portrait in the Iteginiiiug, and from reading your address
U) your friends at the end of it When we feel under ob
ligations to those who have contributed to our informa
tion and amusement, wo arc naturally desirous to possess
all the knowledge of tliem, of their appearance, of the fea
tures of their countenance, and of the character and hab
its of their mind, w hich w e can acquire. You have pluced
your numerous renders (at leant you have Die, if 1 may
not speak for them) under tliose obligations; and the
numlter of your valuable work now lel'ore nie, in ec rne
degree, satisfies the desire to which 1 have alluded.
1 have become quite familiar with the Mugazine and
Keview, and have no hesitation in expressing my humble
opinion that it is eminently entitled to the public regard
and support. It collects and arranges, in good order, a large
amount of valuable statistical und other information,
highly useful not only to the merchant, but to the states
man, to the cultivator of the earth, to the manufacturer,
to the mariner, in short, to all classes of the business and
reading community.
Entertaining this opinion, I am glad that it has been, and
hope that it may continue to be, liberally patronized.
Offering you cordial assurances of my esteem and re
gard, 1 am truly your friend and obedient servant,
Freeman Hunt, esq, H. CLAY.
Extract of a letter from lion. Mi!lard Fillmore.
"I have read it (Merchants' Magazine) with a good
ileal of atteution, and have no hesitation in saying that I
think it one of the most valuable periodicals thai v as
ever published. To the merchant it seems quite iiidls
liensablu, and to the statesman and man of general infor
mation almost equally desirable. It is a grand repository
of useful facts and Information, which can bo found no
where so well digested and so accessible as in these num
bers. I only regret that I do not own the whole work."
Letter from the Hon. Thomas //. IJaiton.
Washington Cut, April 20,1849.
Mr. Freeman Hunt.?.Sir ; I owe you many thanks for
the opportunities I have had to read the Merchants' Mag
azine. and have found it in reality to be a magazine, and
that well replenished, of all the useful matter which the
title would imply, arid presented with a fullness and
clearness which delights while it instructs. It is, in fact,
h merchants' magazine in the large acceptation of the
term?merchants who go ltetween nations, whose large
i perations bring many departments of knowledge, and a
view of the state of the world, into daily requisition. But
it is not the great merchant only, but the one of more
inodest, but, nevertheless, of most useful operations?the
merchant of the interior also?who will find this magazine
to abound with the information the pursuit of his busi
ness and the elevation of the mercantile character re
quires. Nor is its utility at all confined to merchants, but
extends to the legislator and diplomatist, and to all who
;ire charged with managing the affairs of the nation, l or
myself, 1 have found it most useful to me in my senato
rial labors, and have been in the habit for many years of
carefully consulting it.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant,
THOMAS H. BENTON.
Letter from Hon. Win. II. Seward.
My Dear Sir: Have the goodness to place my name on
your list of subscribers for the Merchants' Magazine. I

COLD SPRING WATER CURE.
^UIIS NEW AND SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT for
1 the scientific treatment of the various diseases with
which the human system is afflicted, is situated about
three miles from the city of Buffalo, In a rural spot, and
so accessible from all points as to be reached without in
convenience or delay.
A line of omnibuses runs from the steamboat landing*
in Buffalo to the springs every ten minutes.
The house and grounds are near the extensive and
beautiful green-houses and nurseries of the Messrs. Hodges
.% Bryants; and the scenery In all ditections is unsur
passed, as regards either variety or beauty; embracing
points of view, from which may be taken in at a glance
the broad expanse of Lake Erie, the Niagara flowing mi
| jestically towards the Falls, extensive forests, and the
Queen City of the !<akes," with Its moving panorama of
steamboats and ceaseless enterprise.
The water, taken immediately from the celebrated
' Cokl Spring," is unsurpassed as regards coldness and
purity, by any in the United States. The house, recently
erected at a cost of about neven thousand dollars. I ns been
'itted up in a neat and elegant style, at considerable ex
tra expense, and is sufficiently capacious to accommodate
seventy-five patients.
Connected with the establishment, and constituting one
of its attractions, are the fixtures and convenience* for in
nocent and healthful gymnastic exercises.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
The Institution is under the general supervision of S.
M. Davis, M. D., Professor of the Theory and Prac tice of
Medidno in Central Medical College, and Geo. W. Lav is,
M. 1>., formerly of Dansville, N. Y., the resident physician,
ami i permanently associated with the before mentioned
gentleman as counsel, and nssoclaHrof the mcdlcal board
of control. And the friends of the establishment deem it
a matter of felicitation that the services of Miss Mary M.
Taylor, a lady of high medical attainments, who has at
tended two courses of lectnres in the Central Medical Col
lege, haTe been secured, and that female patients ran at
any time avail themselves of her Invaluable aid and coun
sel.
The steward's department Is under the control of a gen
tleman eminently qualified for that position; and nnwea
ried pains will be tnken to have every thing appertaining
to the establishment arranged on a plan, ami conducted
In a way, to ensure the comfort, snd promote the health
and happiness of all who may wish to avail themselves of
Its benefits. Haths of all descriptions, adapted to the cure
of the various forms of disease, and constructed on a scale
not Inferior to those of any other establishment In this
country.
An enlightened public sentiment has everywhere repu
diated a reckless use of drugs In the treatment of disease ;
while Intolerable sufferings and broken constitutions hare
imperatively demanded "Reform." A return from a wide
ami fatal departure from the simplicity of Nature's laws
Is called for, alike by a rational love of happiness snd the
deplorable exigencies of our condition. Hydropathy, or a
scientific use of water as a restorative and curative agent,
Is a practical substitution of a simple and remarkably effi
cacious mode of curing the sick ; for that system of drug
ging, depleting, and cauterizing, which, In obtaining the
mastery over disease, too frequently place* the patient be
yond the reach of further annoyance. The success of the
various Water Cure establishments in this country, to say
nothing of any other, has fully confirmed the hopes of the
early discoverers and promulgators of the great truths
upon which the system is founded, and renders verbal
communications unnecessary. It is deemed sufficient to
ssy, that the "Cold Spring Water Cure" will compare fa
vorably with any of the well-conducted establishments ot
a similar character, and will he found equal to the liest,
as regards the order, convenience, and desirableness of Its
arrangements. The institution Is now open for the recep
tion of patients, and in full operation.
