PUOSl'JSCTUS OF THE "NATIONAL MON
UMENT,"
A weekly journal to be published in Washington,
under the sanction of the Washington National
Monument Society.
JAMES 0. PICKETT, Editor and ruuuaiiER.
The Monument is intended to bo allterary, agricultural,
and miscellaneous paper. It will contain selections of the
literature of the day?the best thatcanbe foun<lhi Ameri
san aud English publications: interesting scientific articles,
embracing mechanics; foreign and domestic news; a sy
nopsis of the proceedings of Congress, and every tiling
that such a journal might bo expected toi contain, with
the exception of party politics, which will be at all times
most rigorously excluded. . , ,
The Monument will bo published for the express and
the sole purpose of aiding in tho erection of tlio noble
column now rising on the banks of tho l'otomac, in hon
or of tho Father of his Country, and which every one
who venerates the name of Washington would rejoice to
Deo completed. After deducting out of the subssriptlon
the expenses of tho journal proposed to l>e published,
the remaining funds will be taithfully applied, and 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 tho Monument, a valuable journal at a
low price may be obtained, while it wUl bo doing some
thing, at the same time, towards completing that majestic
memorial of the Nation's gratitude.
The Board of Managers recommend Mr. 1 ickett, former
ly Fourth Auditor of the Treasury and Charge d'Affiurs to
Peru, who proposes to edit and publish the Monument
journal, as one well qualified to perform the duties ot
editor, and to conduct the paper faithfully, aud satisfacv
torily to the subscribers. They assure their fellow-citizens
that Oils enterprise is not a speculation got up for indi
vidual emolument. Mr. Pickett will make the experiment
with his own means and at his own risk; if successful, ho
will receive nothing more, and he asks nothing more,
than a very moderate compensation for his services. Not
one dollar, therefore, of tho direct subscription to the
erection of the Monument will be, in any event, applied
to the support of tho paper, nor the Society in any man
ner held pecuniarily responsible.
To give the public an Idea of what may bo done with the
journal it is proposed to publish, it may be stated that a
lUt of fifty thousand paying subscribers, at two dollars
each, will yield an annual net profit of from fifty to sixty
thousand dollars. i
The postmasters, and secretaries of all organized bodies I
throughout the Union, are respectfully requested to act 1
as ageuts in obtaining subscriptions, thus aiding the great !
object of our exertions. ...
As all editors aud publishers, on account or the object
for which the Monument newspaper will be established,
must wish it to succeed, it is hoped that they will con
tribute to it? success by publishing this prospectus.
All moneys will be remitted, and all letters and moneys
addressed prepaid, to the general agent of the Monument
Society, Hon. Kllsha Whittlesey, Washington.
OrriCKU. Millard Fillmore, ex-nHicui ('resident; Arch.

nrms.?Tho Monument will be printed on a double
royal sheet?the paper and type being of the best quality?
and in quarto form, containing sixteen large pages, that
it may be more easily preserved. The price will be two
dollars per annum, payable on the receipt of the second
number. The nature of tho enterprise not admitting of
any credit, none can be given.
Societies and clubs will 1* furnished with the Monumknt
on tha following terms: 3 oopies for $0; 6 copies, $8; 10
eopies, $15; Ac.
Those who are disposed to patronise tho Moxumwt are
requested to forward their names to tho General Agent,
without delay. The first number will be published early
in May, and tho second on the second day of August, and
weekly thereafter; time baing allowed for the Prospectus
to be circulated, and for the agents to make returns. As
all subscribers will be contributors to tho Monument .
itself, their names will be published in the paper.

Austin'* Magic Freezer*

tember 19, 1848.
rpiIF. dl?tinguising merits of this Apparatus are?
1 1st. The astonishing rapidity of the process, surposn
i ing belief?hence the name.
Id. The Cream during the pM|Mn of freexlng becomes
charged with atmospheric air, by which it nearly doubles
in bulk, and obtains that peculiar smoothness, lightness,
and delicacy of flavor, for which the Ice Cream of our
best Confectioners is so highly prised.
3d. It does not roquire a tenth part of the labor that
the common Freeier does.
4th. It does Its work better, producing a better article,
j in "very respect, than by any other mode.
6th. There is a considerable saving In ice, as the tub
| needs no replenishing during the operation.
The annexed testimonial from the Proprietor Of the
Riitnw House will put to rest all dooht.
" Having witnessed the pronoss of freezing IccCream
in Austin's Magic Frcexer, two quarts of Cream having
been frozen In the incredible short time of six minute*, I
cheerfully recommend it to the public."

tion and power, I consider it decidedly the best freexer

Jou are already iu possession, as to the efficacy of your
[odlclne. "THE 0It EAT VA. REMEDY," in tho diseases
which it is designed to cure, are sufficient, in my opinion,
to establish its reputation, aud secure for it Mich patrouage
, as will adequately reward you for tho diseovcry of so ines
timable a Medicine?yet the great benefit which I have
derived from its use, and the salutary effects which I have
witnessed from its employment in the cases of several
friends, to whom I had recommended it, constrain me to
contribute, for 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, and very
aggravated In its character, manifested by an almost total
destruction of the digestive functions, great debility, ner
vousness, emaciation, and impaired appetite, with pain,
and a burning sensation in tho left side of tho chest, palpi
tation of the heart, vertigo and congestion in tho head,
and many other symptoms indicative of the worst typo of
tho disease, by the use of three or four bottles of your pre
paration, been entirely relieved. Tho eases of my friends,
in which your Medicine was taken, were 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 benefit. Your medicine is as pleasant to the
taste as a cordial, and in my experience corrects all de
1 rangement of the stomach, restores tho wasted or enfeebled
energies ol the digestive organs, and imparts strength and
rcauimation to tho whole system.

Gentlemen?In reply to your letter, I can with great
sincerity say, that I entertain o very high opinion of the

cxcelUd by any cotempcraneous Reports, in learning

are discussed with great care, and expounded with uncom

of more importance or value for a Professional Library.

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS.
Post Office Department, )
I J , , March 14,1861. J
T lieing desirable to substitute locks and keys of some
other kind for those now in use for the mail service
ot the United States, spocimen 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 he submitted to a commis
sion for examination and report. Upon this report, con
tracts will, as soon as practicable, lie 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 being,
to extend and continue Uio contract in force for an addi
tional term of four years, by giving to the oontractor a
written notice to that not more than nine 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
and ingenuity which a fair competition, now invited, may
doyelop. 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 >11 the
mail locks and keys now in use, about thirty thousand
new locks and twenty thousand keys adapted thereto will be
required to l>c furnished by the contractor within seven
months alter the contract shall have been entered into -
afterwards the annual supply will depend on the dura
bility of the locks and keys adopts, as well as the in
crease of the mail service; but It will probably never ex
ee?>d In amount three thousand of the former and one
thouHAnd of the latter.
No lock will bo considered If It lie like any already in
general use; nor will anyone with whom the contract
may lie made lie allowed to make, sail, or famish 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 intocontract, to make
an assignment of his patent for the exclusive use nndben
efit of the Department, if the Postmaster General shall
deem such requirement essential to the interest* of the
service. Incase of the failure of the contractor at any
time to fulfil faithfully Uio terms and conditions of his
contract, the Postmaster General shall have the riirht
beaUM a resort to the penal remedy hereinafter men
tioned, to annul said contract, and to contract anew with
any other party or parties as he may see fit, for furnlshlnir
similar locks and keys. 8
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 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 for tlie Interest of the Department. The
party or psrtlcscontraeting will be required to give bond
with ample security, in the sum of thirty thousand dol
lars. for a faithful |>erfbrmanoe of the contract. The con
triu-t 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 1k> arranged Iw-tween the Department
and the successful bidder, If a bid should lie accepted
No application will 1* considered if not accompanied
with satisfactory evidence of the trustworthy character of
the bidder, and of his 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 He view, from viewing your
portrait in the beginning, and from reading your addrtss
to your friend* at the end of it. When we libel under ob
ligation* to those who huve contributed to our informa
tion aud amusement, wo are naturally desirous to 1'Oi.sess
all the knowledge of them, of their appeorance, of the fea
ture* of their countenance, and of the character and hab
it* of their mind, which we can acquire. You have placed
your numerous reader* (at least you have me, if I may
not speak for them) under those obligations; and the
number of your valuable work now Isjfore me, in seme
degree, satisfies the desire to which I have alluded.
I have become quite familiar with the Magazine and
lteview, and have no hesitation in expressing my humble
opinion that it is eminently entitled to the public regard
aud support. It collect* and arranges, in good order, a large
amount of valuable statistical and other informaliou,
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 busiiie** and
reading community.
Enturtuining this opinion, I am glad that it has been, and
hone that it may continue to be, liberally patronized.
Offering you cordial assurances of my esteem and re
gard, I am truly your friend aud obedient servant,

think it one of the most valuable periodicals that was

of useful facts and information, which can be found no

ELASflC* UNIVERSAL TOUCH.
WISE A BROTHER, Manufacturers of IJoudoir, Grand,
and ?Squart IHanot, request those who would be assured
of a first class i'iano, one that ladies can perform on
with the greatest possible advantage?one that the touch
can be instantly adjusted to the exact strength of the fin
gers and movement of music, one that will stand in con
cert tune, one that the tone will not become shrill and
grating, that is chaste of style and elegantly made up vt
straight and regular curve Hues, that will last an ag<?to
give them a call. The ancient standing of the Baltimore
Factory, and liberal patronage of citizens and other* of
the first order of artistic taste and science, conceded at
once the most critical, have been fully anticipated. Their
recently finished Grand Piano, minutely reviewed by the
most accomplished civil engineers and master artists, has
liven denominated truly a Grand ISano; also, that their
late lkrudoir, for style, jwiwer, ond compass of tone, is not
Rurp vised, if equalled, in the world. Friends and cus
tomers, please stop in and examine for yourselves.

OOLI) SI'KING WATKlt CURE.
rpniS NEW AND SI'LENDll) ESTABLISHMENT for
the scientific treatment of the various diseases with
which the human system is afflicted, is situated aliout
three miles from the city of Buffalo, In a rural spot, and
so accessible from all "points a* 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
A Bryants; and the scenery in all direction* is unsur
passed, ns regards either variety or tieauty; embracing
point* of view, from which may be taken in at a glance
the broad expanse of I.akc Erie, the Niagara flowing ma
jestically towards the Falls, extensive forests, and the
"Queen City of the Lakes," with its moving pauorama of
steamboats and ceaseless enterprise.
The water, 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 seven thousand dollars, has been
fitted 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 tho Theory and Practice of
Medicine in Central Medical College, and Geo. W. Davis,
M. D., formerly of Dansvllle, N. Y., the resident physician,
and is |K>rmanently associated with tho before mentioned
gentleman as counsel, nnd associate of the medical 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 lins at
tended two courses of lectures in the Central Medical Col
loge, 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
tleman eminently qualified for that position; and unwea
ried pains will be taken to have every thing appertaining
to the establishment arranged on a plan, ond conducted
in a way, to ensure the comfort, and promote tho health
iinil happiness of all who may wish to avail themselves of
its benefits. Ilaths 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 iu 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 have
Imperatively demanded "Reform." A return from a wide
nnd fatal departure from tho simplicity of Nature's laws
is called for, aliko by a rational love of happiness nnd the
deplorable exigencies of our condition. Hydropathy, or a
scientific use of water as a restorative and curative (gent,
is a practical substitution of n simple and remarkably effi
cacious mode of curing the sick; for that sysUyn of drug
ging, depleting, and cauterizing, which, in obtaining the
mastery over disease, too frequently places the patient be
yond the reach of further annoyance. The success bf the
various Water Cure establishments In this country, to soy
nothing of any other, has fully confirmed tho hopes of the
early discoverers and promulgator* of tho great truth*
upon which the system I* founded, and renders verbal
communication* unnecessary. It Is deemed sufficient to
say, that the " Cold Spring Water Cure" will compare fa
vorably with any of tne well-conducted establishment* ot
a similar character, and will be found equal to the be*t,,
as regards the order, convenience, and desirableness of It*
arrangements. The Institution is now open for the recep
tion of patients, and in full operation.
