PROSPECTUS OP.THE "NATIONAL MON
UMENT,"
A weekly journal to be published in Washington,
under the sanction of the Washington National
Monument Society.
J AM lie C. PICKETT, KurrOB a.nd Pcblihiiba.
The Monument is intended to be a literary, agricultural.
Hud miscellaneous paper* It will contain selections of the
literature of tlie day?the best that can bo found in Ameri
can and English publications: interesting scieutilicarticles
embracing mechanics; foreign and domestic news; a sy
nopsis of tho proceedings of Congress, and every tiling
that such a journal might bo exacted to contain, with
the exception of party politics, which will be at all tim?<j
most rigorously excluded.
The Monument will be published for the express and
the sole purpose of aiding in the erection of the Doble
column now rising on the banks of the i'otomac, in hon
or of the Father of his Country, and which every one
who venerates the name of Wasuinoton would rejoice to
?ee completed. After deducting out of the subssription
tho expe.ise.# of the journal propositi to be published,
the remaining funds will be faithfully npplled. 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 price may beobtaiued, while it will be doing some
tldng, at the same time, towards completing that majestic
memorial of the Xatiou's gralitude.
The Board of Managers recoiumeud Mr. l'irkett, former
ly Fourth Auditor of the Treasuryjind Charge d'AffairB to
l'eru, who proposes to edit nnd publish the Monument
journal, as one well qualified to perform the duties ot
editor, anl to eonduot the paper faithfully, and satisfac
torily to the subscribers. They assure their fellow-cltliens
that this enterprise is not a sjtoculatlon got up for indi
?idual emolument. Mr. Pickett will make the experiment
with his own means and nt his own risk; if successful, he
will receive nothing mure, nnd he asks uothlng more,
than a very moderate com|>ensatlnn for his services. Not
one dollar, therefore, of the direct subscription to the
erection of the Monument will be, In any event, applied
to the support of the paper, nor the Society iu any man
ner held jMscuuiarily responsible.
To give the public an idea of what may Ik-done wifh the
journal it Is propos<-d to publish, it may be stated that a
list of fifty thousand pitying subscribers, at two dollars
?ach, will yield an annual uet profit of from fifty to sixty
thousand dollars.
The postm.istcrs, nnd secretaries of all organized bodies
throughout the Union, are respectfully reijuosted to act
as agents in obtaining subscriptions, thus aiding the great
object of our exertions.
As all editors and publishers, on account of (he object
tor which tlie 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, aud all letters aud moneys
addressed prepaid, to the general agent of the Monument
Society, Hon. Klislia Whittlesey, Washington.

TVmw.?The Mo>iMr*T will be printed on a double
royal sheet?the pnper aud type beingdt the hest i|ualltv?
and in quarto form, containing sixteen large pages, that
it may be more easily preserved. The price will be two

3d. The Cream during the pr*>gress of fleeting becomes
charged with stmosphcrie air, by which it nearly doubles
In bulk, and obtains that peculiar smoothness, lightness,

The anuexed testimonial from the Proprietor of the

In Austin's Magic Freezer, two quarts of Cream having

which have been found to attend the amalgamation of the
two departments in the same building, snd under the
same government, now enjoys the privilege of a separate
establishment, without losing tho* which result from IU

no expense ha* been spared in providing tho apparatus
necessary to render the means of Instruction complete;

excelltd by any cotempcraneous Reports, in learning,
ability, or general utility and interest. Tho cases decided
are discussed with great care, and expounded with uncom

of moie importance or value for a Professional Library.

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS.
Post Orncc Department,!
March 14, 1861. J
IT being desirable to substitute lock* and keys of some
other kind for those now In use Ibr the mail service
of the United states, specimen locks and keys, with pro
posals to furnish the same, will be received and considered
ntthe Post Office Department until the first day of July
next. The different locks will bo submitted to a commis
sion for examination and report. Upon this report, con
I tracts will, as soon as practicable, be entered Into for fur
nishing such locks and keys for four year*, with the right
I on the part of the Postmaster General, for the time being,
to extend and continue the contract in foroe for an addi
tional term of four years, by giving to the contractor a
written notice to that effect, not more than nino 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
an* Ingenuity which a fair competition, now invited, mav
develop. It Is, however, proper to state that a lock suit
able for the mail service should possess the following qual
ities, vis: durability, uniformity, lightness, and strength.
For the purpose of displacing simultaneously all the
mail locks and keys now in use, about thirty thousand
new lock* and twenty thousand keys adapted thereto will be
required to be ftirnished by the contractor within seven
months after the contract shall have Keen 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; but it will probably uever 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 Into 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. Incase of the failure of the contractor at any
time to fulfil fnitlifuily the terms and conditions of his
contract, the Postmaster General shall have the right,
besides a resort to the penal remedy hereinafter men
tioned, to annul said contract, and to contract anew with
any other party or parties aa he may see fit, for furnishing
similar lock* and keys.
In deciding upon the proposals and specimens offered,
the Postmaster General may deem It exi>edient to select
for the through mails the lock of one bidder, and for the
way mails that of another. He reserves, therefore, the
right of contracting with different individuals for such
different kinds of lock* as he may select, and also the
right to reject all the specimens and proposals. If he shall
deem that course for the Interest of the Department. The
party or 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 dne 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 arrange! between the Department
and the successful bidder, if a bid should he accepted.
No application will be considered If not accompanied
with satisfactory evidence off the trustworthy character of
the bidder, and of his ability to fulfil the contract.

1 have become quite familiar with the Magazine and
Review, and haYe no hesitation in expressing my humble
opinion Uiat it is eminently entitled to the public regard
aud support, it collects and arranges, iu good order, a large
amount of valuable statistical and 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 coutiuue to be, liberally patronized.
Ottering you cordial assurances of my esteem and re
gard, 1 am truly your friend and obedient servant,

"I have read it (Merchants' Magazine) with a good
deal of attention, and have no hesitation in saying that I
think it one of the most valuable periodicals that w as
ever published. To the merchant it seems quite indis
pensable, aud to the statesman aud 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 I do not own the'Whole work."

Mr. Freeman Hunt?Sir: 1 owe you many thanks for
the opportunities 1 have had to read the Merchants' Mag
azine, and have found It in reality to be a muyatine, and
that well replenished, of all the useful matter which the
title would Imply, and presented with a fullness and
clearness which delights while it instructs. Jt is, in fact,
a merchant*' magazine in the large acceptation of the
term?merchants who go between nations, whose large
operations Tiring 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
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 or the mercantile character re
quires. Nor is its utility at all confined to merchants,bnt
extends to the legislator and diplomatist, and to all who
arc charged with managing the affairs of the nation. For
myself, 1 have found it most useful to me in my senato
rial labors, and have been in the habit for many years pf
carefully consulting it
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant,

~ COLD SPRING WATER CURK.
riUIIS NEW AND SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT for
I the scientific treatment of the various diseases with
which the human system is afflicted, Is situated about
three miles from the rity of Buffalo, in a rural snot, and
w accessible from all points as to be reached without in
convenience or delay.
A line of omuibuses runs from the stenmboat landing*
in Buffalo to the springs every ten minutes.
The house and grounds are near the extensive and
)>eautiful green-houses aud nurseries of the Messrs. Hodges
l Bryants; aud the scenery iu all directions is unsur
;t:issc(L .as regards either variety or beauty; embracing
points ef view, from which may be taken in at a glance
he broad expanse of Lake Erie, the Niagara flowing ma
jestically towards the Falls, extensive forests, aud the
"Queen City of the Lakes," with its moving panorama of
steamboats "and ceaseless enterprise.
The wster, taken immediately from the celebrated
"Cold Spring," is unsurpassed as regards coldness and
purity, by any In the United States. The house, recently
erected at a cost of about seTen thousand dollars, has been
Stted up in a neat and elegant stylo, at considerable ?*
tra expense, and is sufficiently capacious to accommodate
?ieventy-five patients.
Connected with the establishment, and constituting on*
of its attractions, are the fixtures and conveniences for in
nocent and healthful gymnastic exercises.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
The institution Is under the general supervision of P.
M. Davis, M. D., Professor of the Theory and Practice ol
Medicine In Central Modlcal College, and Oeo. W. Davis,
M. D., formerly of Dansville, N. Y., the resident physician,
mid Is permnnently associated with the before mentioned
gentleman as counsel, and associate of the medical board
of control. And the friends of the establishment deem it
a matter of ft licitation that the services of Miss Mary M.
Taylor, a lady of high medical attainments, who has at
tended two courses 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 ooun
The steward's department is under the control of a gen
tleman eminently qualified for that position; and unwea
rled pains will bo taken to have every thing appertaining
to the establishment arranged on a plan, and conducted
in a way, to ensure the comfort, and promote the health
and happiness nf all who may wish to avail themselves of
its benefits. Baths of all descriptions, adapted to the cure
of the various forma of disease, and constructed on a scale
not Inferior to those of any other establishment in this
country.
An enlightened public sentiment hns everywhere repu
diated a reckless use of drugs in the treatment of disease;
while Intolerable sufferings and broken constitutions have
imperatively demanded "Reform." A return from a wide
and fatal departure' from the simplicity of Noturr'a 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 the sick ; for that system of drug
ging, depletlifg. and cauterizing, which, in obtaining the
mastery over disease, too frequently places 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 v?rl?l
communications unnecessary. It is deemed sufficient to
?ay, that the " Cold Spring Water Cure" will compare fa
vorably with any of the woll-conduoted establishments ot
a similar character, and will be found equal to the beet,
as regards the order, convenience, and desirableness of 1U
arrangements. The institution is now open for the recep
tion of patients, and In toll operation.
