PUOSrECTUS OF THE "NATIONAL MON
UMENT,"
A weekly journal to be published in Washington,
under Ike sanction of the Washington National
Monument Society.
JAMES 0. P1CKKTT, JSoitob axi> I'cblishxk.
The Monument is intended to be a literary, agricultural,
aud miscellaneous paper. It will contain selections of the
literature of day?the best that can be found in Ameri
can and Euglish publications: interesting scientific articles,
embracing mechanics; foreign aud domestic news; a sy
nopsis Of Uj*> proceedings of Congress, aud every thing
that such a journal might be expected to contain, with
tliu exception of party polities, which will be at all times
most rigorously excluded.
The Monument will be' published for the express and
the sole purpose of aiding in the erection of tho noble
column now risiugon the banks of tho Potomac, in hon
or of the Father of his Country, and which every one |
who venerates the name of Washington would rtyoico to '
s?o completed. After deducting out of the subscription
the expenses of the journal proposed to be published,
tho remaining funds will Is; faithfully applied, and with
out reserve, to the purpose indicated. The aid, therefore,
of all who are willing to contribute to so patriotic au ob
ject, and one so entirely national, is earnestly requested.
By subscribing to the Monument, a valuable journal at a
low price may be obtained, while it will be doing some
thing, at tho same time, towards completing that majestic
memorial of the .Nation's gratitude.
The Board of Managers recommend Mr. Pickett, former
ly Fourth Auditor of the Treasury and Charge d'Affairs to
P?rp, who proposes to edit and publish the Monument
journal, as one well qualified to perform the duties ol
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 experiment
with his own means and at his own risk.; if successful, he
will receive uothing more, and he asks nothiug more,
than u very moderate comjiensatlon for his services. Not
on* dollar, therefore, of the direcf subscription to "the
erection of the Monument will !>e, in any event, applied
to the support of tho pajrnr, 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 lie stated that a
list of fifty thousand paying subscribers, at two dollars
each, will yield an 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
at agents in obtaining subscriptions, thus aiding the great
object 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.

Terms.?The Moxubmt 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.' Tho price will be two
dollars per annum, payable on the reoeipt of the second
number. The nature of the enterprise not admitting ol
any credit, uone can be given.

Newark Academy.
By a late re-orgnniiatinn of this department of Dela
ware College, the Board of Trustees have taken measures
to place 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 all the evils
which have been found to attend the amalgamation of the
two department* in the same building, and under the
some government, now enjoys the privilege of a separate
establishment, without losing tboev whlen result from its
relation to the College proper.
A large and elegant edifice, with all the necessary fix
tures ef a complete lioarding establishment, ha* been
erected and ftirnlshed, In which the student* of the Acad
emy hoard, under the immediate charge of the Principal
and his Assistant*; and all It* exercise* are conducted on
a system of Its own, uninterrupted by the Interests or
operations of the other department. The furniture of the
study-room* and dormitories ha* been chosen with pecu
liar reference to comfort and convenience for study ; and
no expense has been spared in providing the apparatus
necessary to render the means of Instruction complete;
giving to Newark Academy facilities forprivaU study and
eomfortahle accommodation of student*, fully equal to
those afforded fcgr many of our college*.
From It* intimate relation to the College, student* of
the Academy enjoy many ad vantages not generally ob
tained at institutions of this kind. Tho*e who wish to
pursue some particular branch which fall* more properly
within the College course, may be admitted to recite In
any of the College classes. Student* also of proper age
and discretion, by recommendation of the Principal, nnd
permission of the Faculty, may enjoy the use of the Col
lege Library without additional charge Admission also
may be hiul to the I^actnre*. and such other privilege* of
the College a* can lie profitably enjoyed by academical
Students.
The charge for Boarding. Washing, Fuel, Light, Ac.,
with tnltion in the English, Latin, *nd Greek. Is seventy
dollars for lb* Summer t^e**ion, and seventy-five for the
Winter Session. The only extras are one dollar per ses
sion for Incident*! expenses, and a fee of eight dollars for
Modern languages, and a fee of five dollars for Drawing,
from those who enter these classes. The sessions and va
cation* of the Preparatory Department are the same as
those of the College.

The co uriM of iustruotiou includes, besides the ?rdiuary

their application to Mechanics aud Engineering; the latter
and (Surveying are taught practically by Held operations,
with the use of appropriate instruments. Lectures on
Natural Philosophy and Chemistry, in widch all the im
portant principles are illustrated by experiments, are
regularly delivered before the student*.
As the otject is to make the instruction as thorough
and practical as possible, no expense has been spared in
providing suitable apparatus. It Is believed that, in this
respect, the Institution will compare favorably with any
similar oue in the country. A carefully selected library,
of more than oue thousand volumes, containing works on
the various branches of Literature aud Science, furnishes
ample reading matter; while a Laboratory, fully supplied
with apparatus aud tests, contains all that is necessary for
practical instruction in Chemical Manipulation.

rpHK TESTIMONY OF ONK OK OUR LAWYERS.?
X Mr. J AS. L. HAMILTON?Peak Sift: Although the
number and respectability of the testimonials of which
you are already in pOMeMlon, as to the efficacy of your
Medicine, "THE GREAT VA. REMEDY," in the discuses
which it is designed to cure, are sufficient, In uiy opinion,
to establish its reputation, aud secure 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, and the salutary effects which 1 have
witnessed from its employment in the cases of several
friends, to whom I had recommended it, constrain me to
contribute, fur such use as you may think proper to make
of it, this formal acknowledgment of its sanitary virtues.
My own case was Pyspepsia of long duration, and very
aggravated iu 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 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, were Pyspepsia, 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 pleasunt to the
taste as a cordial, and in iny experience corrects all de
rangement of the stomach, restores the wasted or enfoobled
energies of the digestive organs, aud imparts strength and
reanimatlou to the whole system.

commenced binding each English volume separately, in

The reputation which these Reports maintain in Eng
land and in tlie 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 Reports,
of even inferior merit, recommends them particularly to
the attention of those pun-basing Libraries.

With this Key to their contents, the English Common
Law Reports present to the Profession a mass of legal
learning in the shape of Opinions, Data, elaborate Argu

and Prosecution or Defence of any case that can arise in
our Courts of Law; and being thus made easily and in
stantly accessible, these Reports will be foufld so compre
hensive, convenient, and cheap, as to supersede the neces
sity of other or more expensive scales.
The Index will be found of great value to all pofuessing
tlie Reports; and of great convenience to those having
access to, but not owning the series.

Messrs. T. A J. W. Johnson:
Gentlemen?In reply to your letter, I can with great
sincerity say, that I entertain a very high opinion of the
recent Exchequer Reports. In my judgment they are not
excelkd by any cotemporaneous Reports, in learning,
ability, or general utility and Interest. The cases 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 8TORV.
Camrripci, January 25, 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 Price downwards to this
time, to an American Lawyer, and as to the expediency of
reprinting them in this oountry. Of the high value of
these Report*, both on the Pleas and Equity sides of the
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. 1 should think an American
Lawyer's Library essentially incomplete without them.

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS.
Post Oftick Department, >
March 14, 1851. f
IT being desirable to substitute locks und keys of some
other kind for those now in use for the mail servicc
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 soon 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 being,
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 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
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 strenaLh,
For the purpose of displacing simultaneously all ine
mail locks and keys now in use, about thirty thousand
new locks and twenty thousand keys adapted thereto will be
required to be Airnlshe l 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 mail service; but It will probably never 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
inay 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 Offlco Department.
The kind of lock adopted must be jmtented, and the pa
tentee will be required, on entering intocontract, 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
servloe. In case of the failure of the contractor at any
time to fulfil faithfully 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 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 ho may select, and also the
right to reject all the specimens and proposals, If ho 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, fbr a faithful performance of the contract. The con
tract is to contain provisions fbr the due and proper In
spection of the locks and keys, and also for guarding
gainst their passing into Improper hands; the terms ol
these provisions to be arranged twtween the Department
and the successful bidder, if a bid should be accepted.
No application will tie considered If not accompanied
with satisfactory evidence of the trustworthy character of
J the bidder, and of his ability to fulfil the contract.

from distinguished Htatutuieu:
Letter from the Hon. Henry Clay.
Abhlamp, 2uth July, 1H49.
Dear Sir: I wish to express to you the gratification I
derived ou receiving the July number of the Merchant*1
Magazine and Commercial Kit view, fruui liewing your
portrait in the beginning, and from reading your address
to your friend# at the end of it. When we feel under ob
ligations to those who have contributed to our informa
tion and amusement, we are naturally desirous to posses*
aU the knowledge of them, of their appearance, of tJie lea
tutv-8 of their countenance, and of the character and hab
its of their mind, which we can acquire. You have placed
your numerous readers (at least you have me, If 1 may
not speak for them) under those obligations; and the
number of your valuable work now before me, In sonte
degree, satisfies the desire to which 1 have alluded.
I have become quite familiar with the Magazine and
Review, 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 and other Information,
highly useful not only to the mereliant, but to the states
man, to tlio cultivator of the earth, to the manufacturer,
to the mariner, in short, to all classes of the business and
reading community.
JCntcrtaining this opinion, I am glad that it has been, and

Extract <rf a letter from, Hon. Millard, I'Ulmore.
" 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 was
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. I only regret that 1 do not own the whole work."
Letter from the Hon. Thomat H. lienUm.
Washington Cit*, April 20, 1849.
Mr. Freeman Hunt.?Sir: 1 owe you many thanks for
the opportunities 1 have hod 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, and presented with a 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, 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 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 haTe 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. H. Seward.
My Dear Sir: Have the goodness to place my name en
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 H. SEWARD.

COLD SFBUfQ WATER CURE.
riMIIS NEW AND SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT for
_1_ the scientific treatment of the various diseases with
which the human system is afflicted, is situated at>out
three miles from the city of Buffalo, in a rural spot, and
so accessible from all points as to be reached without in
conveuiencc 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. Ilodge*
k Bryants; slid the scenery in all directions is unsur
passed, as regards either variety or l?eauty; embracing
points of view, from which may be taken in at a glance
the broad expanse of Lake Erie, the Niagara flowing ma
jestically towards the Falls, extensive forests, ana the
"Queen City of the Lakes," with its moving panorama 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 In sufficiently capacious to accommodate
seventy-five patients.
Connected with the establishment, and oonstltutlng on*
of its attractions, are the fixtures and convenience* for in
nocent and healthful gymnastic exerelses.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
The institution is under the general supervision of P.
M. Davis, M. I)_, Professor of the Theory and Practice ot
Medicine in Central Medical College, and Geo. W. Davis,
M. D., formerly of Dansville, N. Y., the resident physician,
and is permanently associated with the before mentioned
gentleman as counsel, and associate of the medical hoard
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 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
tleman eminently qualified for that position; and unwea
rlcd pains will be taken to have every thing appertaining
to the establishment arranged on a plan, ami conducted
In a way,.to ensure the comfort, and promote the health
and happiness of all who may wish to avail themselves of
Its benefits. Baths of all descriptions, adapted to the rnr*
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 have
imperatively demanded "Reform.*' A return from a wide
and fatal departure from the simplicity of Nature's laws
Is called for, allko 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 ngent,
is a practical sulistltution 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 places the patient be
yond the reach of further annoyance. The success of th*
various Water Onre 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 decrood sufficient to
say, that the "Cold Snrlng Water Cure"Vill compare fa
vorably with any of the well-conducted establishments ot
a similar character, and will found equal to the beet,
as regards the order, convenience, and deslrabk-ness of It*
arrangements. The Institution Is now open for the recep
tion of patients, and in nil) operation.
