PK03PJSCTU3 OF THE "NATIONAL MON
UMENT,"
A weekly journal to be published in Wcubing ton,
under the sanction of the Washington National
Monument Society.
JAMK3 C. PICKETT, Edito* hxd Pobushbe.
The Monument is intended to be a literary, agricultural,
?nd misoelliiiioous paper. It will contain selections of the
litoracure of the day?the best that can be found In Amerl
? iu and Ku^iish publications: interesting sclentiiicarticles,
embrnciug mcchauics; foreign and domestic news; a sy
napsis of the proceedings of Congress, and every thinu
that such a journal might be expected to contain, with
the exception of party politics, which wUl be at all times
most rigorously excluded.
file Monument will be published for the express and
the sole purpose of aiding in the erection of the noble
oolutnn now rising on the banks of the Potomac, In hon
or or ?u?* r of his Country, and which every one
Who venerates .''le uu'ue "f VV.\alUffOTOH would rejoice lo
see oompleu-d. After ^'"duoting out of the subMcripCIon
the expeuaes of the journiu proposed to bo published,
the reutlllnlng funds will be fiiltb.u"y applieil, and with
out ru?ervu, to the purpose Indicated. The aid, therefore,
of all who are trilling to contribute to *<* patriotic an ob
ject, and one so entirety national, Is earnestly requested.
By suhscriblug to the Monnrmeiit, a valuable JourntJ ml a
low price may be obtained, while It will be doing some
thing, at the same time, towards rxwpletiujc (hut majestic
memorial of the Nation's gratitude.
The Board of Managers recommend Mr. Pickett, former
ly Fourth Auditor of the Treasury and Charged'Affairs to
Peru, who proposes to edit and publish the Monument
journal, as one well quailtied to perform the duties ol
editor, and to conduct the paper faithfully, and Bailsf.ic
torily to the subscribers. They assure their fellow-oitl*en>
that this onterpri.se Is not a speculation got. up for indi
vidual emolument. Mr. i'ickettwill make theexperlment
with bis owu means and at his own risk; ifauocemful. he
will receive nothing more, aud he asks nothing more,
than a very moderate .compensation for his services. Not
one dollar, therefore, of the direct subscription to the
?rwctiou of the Monument will be, in any event, applied
to the support of the paper, nor the Society 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 tifty thousand paying subscribers, irt two dollars
each, will yield au 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 aldlug the great
otyect 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 Its success by publishing this prospectus.
All moneys will be remitted, and all letters aud moneys
addressed prepaid, to the general agent of the Monument
Society, Hon. Klisha Whittlesey, Washington.

By a late to-organlsatlon of this department of Dela
ware College, the Board of Trustees hsve taken measures
to nlace 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 ail the evils
which have been found to attend the amalgamation of the
two departments In the same hulldinir, and under the
same government, now enjoys the privilege of a separate
establishment, without losing those which reiult from its
relation ft) the College proper.
A larg'' and elegant edifice, with all the necessary fix
tures af a complete hoarding establishment, has been
erected and furnished, in which the stndents of the Acad
emy board, under the Immediate charge of the PrinrHpal
and his Assistants; and all Its e*erc(s. s are conducted on
a system of its own, uninterrupted by the interests or
operations of the other department. The fnrnitute of the
?tudy-r^oms and dormitories has been chosen wHh pecu
liar refefnee to comfort and convenience for ?tndy ; and
no expense has been spared In providing ftie apparatus
to render the mourn of ln?trnMi<n complete
giving to Newark Academy ferllltles for private study snd
comfortable accommodation Of students, fully equal to
thos* afforded by many of our colleges
From Its Intimate relation tn the College, students of
the Academy enjoy many advantages not generally ob
tained at Institutions of this kind. Those who wish to
pursne sotti* particular branch which falls more properly
within tb" College course, may he admitted to rwits In
any of the College classes. Students also of proper age
and discretion, by recommendation of the Principal, snd

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS.
Post Orrtci Department, 1
March 14, 1861. /
IT being desirable to substitute locks and keys of somi
other kind for those now in use tor the mail servio
if the l.tiitrd States, specimen locks and keys, with pro
;?osals to furnish the same, will be received and considered
?it the Post Office Department until the first day of Juh
'lext. The different locks will lie submitted to a commie
don for examination and report. Upon this report, eon
Tacts will, as Soon as practicable, be entered into for fur
lishing such locks and keys for four years, with the right
?n the part of the Postmaster General, for the time being
o extend and continue the contract in force for an addi
ional term of four years, by giving to the contractor s
vritten notice to that effect, not more than nine nor less
.hun six mouths before the termination of the first tern,
?f lour years.
With a view of procuring the best lock at the lowest
?rice, no kind of lock is prescribed as a standard, the De
artment relying for a selection on the mechanical skili
nd ingenuity which s fair competition, now invited, mat
cvelop. It is, however, proper to state that a lock suit
able for the mail service should possess the following quul
ties, vis: durability, uniformity, lightness, and strength
For the purjiose of displacing simultaneously all the
nail locks and keys now in use, about thirty thousand
new lock* and twenty thousand knysadapted thereto will Is
ri-quired to be furnished by the contractor within seven
months after the contract shall have been entered into:
itlerward" the annual supply will depend on the dura
bility of the locks and keys "adopted, as well as the in
?reuse of the mail service; but it will prolmhly never ex
? eed in amount three thousand of Uie former and om
ihousand of the latter. ?
No lock will be considered if it be like any already it
general use; nor will anyone with whom the contrai
mav lie made be allowed to make, sell, or furnish, any
Its-k or key similar to those contracted for for any othe.
purpose or use than that of the Post t tfflce Department.
The kind of lock adopted must be pat<*nted. and the pa
tentee will he required, on enteringintocontrart, tomnk
un assignment of Ids patent for the exclusive use ami Ism
?fit of the Department, if the Postmaster General shal
leem such requirement essential to the Interests of th.
service. In case of the failure of the contractor at anv
time to fulfil fklthftilly the terms and conditions of hff
.-ontract, the Postmaster General shall have the right
tiesides a resort to the penal remedy hereinafter men
tioned. to annul said contract, and to contract anew will
.tny other party or parties as he may see fit, for furnish in,
similar locks and keys.
In deciding npon the proposals and specimens offered
the Postmaster General may deem It ex tied lent to seleei
for the through mails the lock of one bidder, and for th.
way mails that of another, lie reserves, therefore, th.
right of contracting with different individuals for suel
different kinds of locks as he may select, and also th'
right to reject all the sjiecimens and proposals, If he shal
deem that course for the interest of the Department. Th.
party or parties contracting will be required to give bond,
with ample security, in the sum of thirty thousand do)
lars, for a faithful performance of the contract. The con
tract is to contain provisions for the due and proper In
spcctlon of the locks and keys, and also for guarding
against th eh- passing into Improper hands; the terms ot
these provisions to be arranged between the Department
and the succensful bidder, if a bid should be accepted.
No application will be considered if not accompanied
with satisfactory evidence of the trnsf worthy character 01
the 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 Merchant**
Magasiue and Commercial Keview, from Viewing your
portrait in the beginning, and from reading your adurma
to your friend* at tbe end of it. W ben we feel under ob
ligations to those who have contributed to our intnrnia
tion and amusement, we are naturally desirous to pw>?(i
ull the knowledge of them, of tboir appearance, ot the fea
tures of their countenance, and of the character and hab
its of their utiud, which we can acquire. You have plaied
your numerous readers (at least you have uie, if 1 n ay
not speak tor them) under those obligations; and the
number of your valuable work now bulore me, in some
degree, satisfies the desire to which I have alluded.
1 have become quite familiar with the Magazine and
He view, and have no hesitation in expressing Uiy humble
'tpinion that it is emineutly entitled to tbe public n^ard
.nd support. It collects and arranges, in good order, a targe
imount of valuable statistical and outer inloimillion,
igliiy useful not only to tliu merchant, but to the Hti.l??
lau, to the cultivator of the earth, to the uianufrictuier,
o tbe mariner, in short, to all classes of tbe business and
ettdilig community.
Entertaining this opinion, I am glad thatithas been,and
ope that it may continue to be, liberally patronized.
< ifftsring you cordial assurances of my esteem and re
ard, 1 am truly your friend and obedient servant,
Freeman Hunt. esq. 11. CLAY.
Extract of a letter from JJ'm. Millard Fillmore..
?'1 have read it (Merchants' Magazine) with a pood
cal of attention, and have no hesitation in saying 11 at 1
liink it one of the most valuable periodicals tlmt was
?ver published. To the merchant it seems quite li.uis
itnsniile. and to the statesman and man of general innr
natton almost equally desirable. It is a grand repository
.f useful tact* and information, which can be found no
vhere so well digested and so accessible us in these i iiu
ors. 1 only regret that 1 do not own Uie w hole work."

COLD SPRING WATER CERE.
T'HTS NEW AND SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT for
X the scientific treatment of the various diseases witb
which the human Bystem Is nfllictod, 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
?xinvenience or delay.
A line of omnibuses runs from the steamboat landings
in Buffalo to tbe springs every ten minutes.
The bouse and grounds are near the extensive and
fieauUful green-houses and nurseries of the Messrs. Hodges
A Bryants; and the scenery in all directions is unsur
passed, as reganis either variety or beauty; untbrerlng
points of view, from which may be taken in at a glance
'he broad expansu of Lake Krie, tbe Niagara flowing ma
jestically towanjs the Falls, extensive forests, and the
?Queen City of the I-Hives," with its moving panorama of
steamboats and ceaseless enterprise.
The water, taken immediately from the celebrated
'Cold Spring," is unsurpassed as reganis coldness mid
purity, by any in the United States. The house, recently
?rected at a cost of about seven thousand dollars, has lieen
it ted up in a neat and elegant style, at considerable ex
tra expense, and is sufficiently capacious to accommodate
??eventy-five patterns.
Connected with the establishment, and oonsUtutlng one
?if Its attractions, are the fixtures and conveniences fcr in
nocent and healthftil gymnastic exercises.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
The institution Is under the general supervision of 8.
M. Davis, M. I)., Professor of the Theory and Practice of
Medicine In Central Medical College, and GeO. W. 1 uvls,
M. D., formerly of Dansvllie, N. Y? the resident physicisn,
.nd Is permanently associated with the belbre ttienU< tied
rentlemnu as counsel, and associate of the medical 1 oerd
if control. And the Mends of tbe establishment deem it
t matter of felicitation that the sen ices of Miss Mary M.
Taylor, a lady of high medical attainments, who hat at
?ended two courses of lectures In the Centra) Mediial ( ol
lege, have been secured, and that female paUents can at
>tny time avail themselves of her Invaluable aid aud coun
el.
The steward's department Is under the control of e gen
?lemtin eminently qualified tor that position; and ui n?a
led pains will be taken to have every thing appertaining
to the establishment arranged on s plan, and condio ted
in a way, to ensure tbe comfort, and promote the tie?1th
and happiness of all who may wlsb to avail themselves of
(ts benefits. Baths of all descriptions, adapted to the cure
of the various forms of disease, and constructed on a wale
not inferior to those of any other establishment in this
<*>untry.
An unllghtened public sentiment has everywhere repu
liated a reckless use of drugs in the teeatment of dhi ase;
while Intolerable sufferings and broken constituUonshsve
mperaMvely demanded "Reform." A return from s wide
mil fhtal departure from the simplicity of Nature's Isws
is called for, alike by a rational love of "happiness and the
deplorable exigencies of our condition. Hydropathy, or a
-dentlfic 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
glng, depleting, and cauterixlng, which. In obtaining the
mastery over disease, too frequently places tho patient be
vond the reach of further annoyance. The success of the
Various Water Cure establishments In thl? country, to sny
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
communication* unnecessary. It is deemed sufficient to
?ay, that the "Gold Snrlng Water Cure" will compare fa
vorably with any of the well-conducted establishment* ot
a similar character, and will lie found equal to the Vest,
tis regards the order, convenience, and desirableness of fti
arrangements. The institution is now open for the recep
tion of patients, and In ftill operation.
