J \M ES C. PICKETT, Editor asd Publisher.
The Monument is intended t> be a literary, ^fieultura ,
aud miscellaneous paper. It will contain flections of the
literature of the dav?the boRt that can be found in Amcri

the Suing funds will be faithfully applied, and vrith

than a very moderate compensation for his services. INoti

erection of the Monument will be, in any event, applied

Through in ?iz minute*. For the preparation of
Ice CronmB, Water Ices, &c.?Patented Sep
tember 19, 1848.
1M1K distinguising merits of this Appnratu* are?
1st. The astonishing rapidity of the process, surpasa
i Ing belief?hence the name.
2d. The Cream during the progress of freeilng becomes
charged with atmnepheric air, by which it nearly doubles
in bulk, and obtains that peculiar smoothness, lightness,
and delicacy of flavor, for which the Ioe Cream of our
best Confectioners is so highly prised.
3d. It does not require a tenth part of the labor that
the common IVe?et does.
4th. It doe* Its work better, producing a better article,
in every respect, than bv any other mode.
6th. There is a considerable saving In ice, as the tnb
needs no replenishing during the operation.
The annexed testimonial from the Proprietor of the
Kutaw House will pr t to rest all doubt.
" Having witnessed the process of freeilng Toe Cream
In Austin's Magic Freezer, two quarts of Cream having
been frozen in the incredible short time of six minute*, I
cheerfully recommend it to the public."
II. F. JACKSON,
Kutaw House, Baltimore, May IK, 1848.
* This I* to certify, that during the summer of 1848. I
used one of Austin's Patent Ice Cream Freexers of the
largest sixe, (10 gallons,) making from 10 to 50 gallons
per day during tne season; and so far as regards expedi
tion and power, I consider It decidedly the liest freeier
now in use, as I have had with it no difficulty in making
ten galtons of superior quality Ice Cnum from Ave of
plain weam, in thirty minute* from the time I com
menced working it. A. II. BROWN,

MOltE HOME EVIDENCE.
rpHB TESTIMONY OF ONE OF OUK LAWYERS.?
X, Mr. J AS. L. HAMILTON?Dear Sir: Although the
number and respectability of the testimonials of which
you sre already in possession, as to the efficacy of your
Medicine, "THE ORE AT VA. REMEDY," in the diseases
which it is designed to cure, are sufficient, iu my opinion,
to establish its reputation, aud secuqy 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, aud the salutary effects which I have
witnessed from its employment in the cases of several
friends, to whom 1 had recoinmcuded it, constrain nte to
contribute, fi>r such use as you may think proper to make
of it, this formal acknowledgment of Its sanitary virtues.
My own case was Dyspepsia of long duration, aud very
aggravated in Its character, manifested by an almost tota.1
destruction of the digestive functions, great debility, ner
vousness, emaciation, and impaired appetite, with pain,
aud a burning seusation in the left side of the chest, palpi
tation of the heart, vertigo and congestion in the head,
and many other symptoms indicative of the worst type of
the disease, by the use of three or four bottles of your pre
paration, been entirely relieved. The cases of my friends,
in which your Medicine was taken, wore Dyspepsia, Chro
nic Headache, and Sore Throat, In all of which it proved
efficacious, after the trial of a vast number of other reme
dies without Is'iiefit. Your medicine is as pleasant to the
taste as a cordial, and in my experience corrects all de
rangement of the stomach, restores the wasted or enfeebled
energies of the digestive organs, and imparts strength and
reanimatiou to the whole system.
Very res|>ectfully, yours, Ac.,

The reputation which these Reports maintain in Eng
land and in the United States is known to all the Profes
sion. The low price at which they are offered, compared
with the rates of some of the principal American Report",
of even inferior merit, recommends them particularly to
the attention of those purchasing Libraries.

Law Reports present to the Profession a muss of legal
learning iu the shape of Opinions, Data, elaborate Argu

and Prosecution or Defence of any case that can arise in
our Courts of Ijiw; and being thus made easily and in
stantly accessible, these Reports will he found so compre
hensive, convenient, and cheap, as to supersede the neces

Camuriuoe, January 26,1845.
Messrs. T. A J. W. Johnson:
Gentlemen?In reply to your letter, I can with groat
sincerity say, that I entertain a very high opinion of the
recent Exchequer Reports. In my judgment they are not
excelled by any coteiuporaneous Reports, in learning,
ability, or general utility and interest. The coses decided
are discussed with great care, and expounded with uncom
mon force. I scarcely know of any volumes which I deem
of more importance or value for a Professional Library.
JOSEPH STORY.
Camhriixjk. January 26, 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 Prlco dowpwards to this
time, to an American lawyer, and a? to the expediency of
reprinting them in this country. Of the high value of
these Heports, both on the Ploas and Equity sides of th?
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 others in England. I should think an American
Lawyer's Library essentially Incomplete without them.
I am, gentlemen, very rwspectfnll* yours,

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS.
Post Offick Department, 1
March 14, 1861. J
IT being desirable to substitute locks and keys of some
other kind for those now in use for the mail service
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 be submitted to a commis
sion for examination and report. Upon this report, con
tracts will, as soou 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 Is ing,
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 more than nine nor less
than six months before the termination of the first term
of four yeors.
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 is, however, proper to state that a lock suit
able for the mail service should possess the following qual
ities, vie: durability, uniformity, lightness, and strength.
For the purpose of displacing simultaneously all the
mall locks and keys now In use, about thirty thousand
new lockr and twenty thousand kcyF adapted thereto will be
required to be 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 well as the In
crease of the mall servioe; but it will probably never ex
ceed In amount three thousand of the former aud one
thousand of the latter.
No lock will be considered if It be 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 jlse than that of the Post Office Department.
ThekinO of lock adopted must be patented, aud the pa
tentee will be required, on entering in to con tract, to make
an assignment of his patent for the exclusive use and ben
efit of the Department, if the Postmaster General shall
"deem such requirement essential to the interests of the
service. In ease of the failure of the contractor at any
time to fulfil faithfully the terms aud conditions of his
contract, the Postmaster General shall have the right,
liesides a resort to the penal-.remedy hereinafter men
tioned, to annul said contract, and to contract anew with
any other party or partieR 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, aud for the
way mails that of another, lie reserves, therefore, the
right of contracting with different Individuals for such
different kinds of locks as he may select, and also the
right to reject all the specimens and proposals, If he shall
deem that course fbr the interest of the Department. The
party or parties con tracting 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 lie arranged between the l*epartmont
and the successful bidder, if a bid should be 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.

Letter fnrm the Hon. Henry Clay.
Ashlaj.1i, 20th July, 184V.
Dear Sir: I witih to express to you tlie gratification I
derived on receiving the July number of the Merchants'
Magazine and Commercial iteview, from viewing your
portrait in the beginning, and from reading your uddicss
to your friendii at the end of it. When we feel under ob
ligations to those who have contributed to our intorma
tion and amusement, we are naturally desirous to posMS*
all the knowledge of them, of their appearance, of the fea
tures of their countenance, and of the character and hab
its of their miud, which we can acquire. You have plated,
your numerous renders (at least you have nie, if 1 may
uot speak for them) under those obligations; and the
number of your valuable work now before me, in some
degree, satisfies the desire to which 1 have alluded.
1 have become quite familiar with the Magazine and
Review, and have no hesitation in expressing my humMe
opinion that it is eminently entitled to the public nyurd
and support. It collects and arranges, in good order, a large
amount of valuable statistical and otlier information,
highly useful not oaly to the merchant, but to the states
man, to the cultivutor of the earth, to the manufacturer,

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

Extract of a letter from JJon. Millard Fillmore.
"I have read it (Merchants' Magazine) with a good
deal of attention, and have no hesitation in saving that I
think it one of the most valuable periodicals that wad
ever published. To the merchant it seems quite indis
pensable, 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 be found no
where so well digested and so accessible as in these num
bers. 1 only regret that 1 do not own the whole work."
LtUer from, the Hon. 1'homas //. Benton.
Washington Ciit, April 20, 1849.
Mr. Freeman Hunt.?Sir: 1 owe you many thanks for
the opportunities I have had to rend the Merchants' Mag
azine, and have found it in reality to be a muyazirie, and
that well replenished, of all the useful matter'which the
title would imply, and presented with u fullness and
clearness which delights while it instructs. It is, in fact,
a merchants' magazine in the large acceptation of the
term?merchants who go between nations, whose large
operations bring many departments of knowledge, ar.it- a
view of the state of the world, into daily requisition. But
it is not the great merchant only, but the one of more
modest, 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
are charged with managing the affairs of the nation. For
myself, 1 have found it most useful to mo 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. Wm. H. Seward.
My Dear Sir: Have the goodness to place my name on
your list of subscribers for the Merchants' Magazine. I
regard it as an invaluable work for the use of all who
would understand not merely commercial operations in
this extending country, but the fiscal and commercial
questions involved in the administration of the govern
ment.
I am. with great respect, your humble servant,
Freeman Hunt, esq. WILLIAM II. SEWARD.

COLD SPRING WATER CUKK.
riviis NEW AND SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT for
X the scientific treatment of the various diseases with
which the human system is ailiicted, is situated alxiut
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 landings
in Buffalo to the springs every ten minutes.
The bouse and grounds are near the extensive and
beautiful green-houses and nurseries of the Messrs. Hodges
A Bryants; and the scenery In all directions is unsur
passed, as regards either variety or beauty; embracing
points of view, from which may be taken in at a glance
the broad ex)>anse of Lake Erie, the Niagara flowing ma
jestically towards the Falls, extensive forests, and the
"Queen City of the Lakes," with Its moving panorama of
steamlioats and ceaseless enterprise.
The water, taken Immediately from the celebrated
"Cold Spring," is unsurpassed as regards coldness and
purity, by any in tlie United States. The house, recently
erected at a cost of about seven thousand dollars, has Wen
fitted up in a neat and elegnnt stylo, at considerable ex
tra expense, and is sufficiently capacious to accommodate
seventy-five patients.
ConnecU-d w ith the establishment, and constituting one
of Its attractions, are the fixtures and conveniences for in
nocent and healthful gymnastic exercises.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
Tlie Institution is under the genera) supervision of 8.
M. Davis, M. D., Professor of the Theory and Practice ol
Medicine In Central Medical College, and Geo. W. I'avis,
M. D., formerly of Dansville, N. Y? the resident physician,
and is permanently associated with the before mentioned
gentiemsn as counsel, and associate of the medical board
of control. And the friends of the establishment derm it
a matter of felicitation that the services of Miss Mary M.
Taylor, a lady of high medical attainments, who hss at
tended two course* of lectures in the Central Medical Col
lege, have been secured, and that female patients can at
any time avail themselves of her Invaluable aid and coun
sel.
The steward's department Is under the control of a gen
tlemnn eminently qualified for that position; anil unwea
ried pains will 1* taken to have every thing appertaining
to the establishment arranged on a plan, alid conducted
in a wny, to ensure the comfort, and promote the health
and happiness of all who may wish to avail themselves of
Its lienefits. Rnths 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 constitutlonshave
Imperatively demanded "Reform." A return from a wide
and fatal departure from the simplicity of Nature's laws
is called for, alike by a rational love of happiness and 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 tho sick; for that system of drug
ging, depleting, and cauterising, which, in obtaining the
mastery oveT disease, too frequently places the patient be
yond the reach of further annqyance. Hie success of the
various Wator Cure establishments in this country, to ssy
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
say, that tho "Cold Spring Water Cnre" will compare fa
vorably with any of the well-conducted establishments ot
a similar character, and will be found equal to the best,
as regards the order, convenience, and desirableness of Its
arrangement*. The institution Is now open for the recep
tion of patient*, and in foil operation.
