THE WAsHINGTON MONUMENT

We are glad TO perceive that National Monu-
ment is to be erected in New y ork to the men,
DRY OF WASHINGTON. During the last winter an
act passed the Legislature of New Y ork incorpor-
ating the washington Monument Association -
and we learn from the Knckerbocker that the
design of the magnificent structure is now com.
pleted. 1t is in the form of pentagon, and is to
be erected of granite, in or fronting on Union
Square; to be finished in the Gothic style of ar
chtecture, richly and deliberately ornamented,
with spacious rooms below for historical libra
ry, gallery for painting, etc. It's rich Gothic
windows, columns, friezes, cornces, and baius-
trades-its butresses, turrets, tower and pinnacle,
partake OF all that is sublime in architecture; and
when the structure shall have been finished, the
cro!chet of the pinnacle being 40 feet in the air,
1t will be pronounced the noblest monument in
the known world. 1t is to be built by the voun-
tary contributions of the People of the United
States of one dollar and upward. Some of the
wealthy citizens ofNew York have already head
ed subscription lists with five and ten thousand
dollars, and arrangements for the immediate com
mencement the enterprise are fast maturing.

John QUINCY ADAMS.

This distinguished gentleman, in the various
cities aud towns Of New York, through which he
has passed, has met with most kind and compl-
mentary reception.
The Albany Evening Journal says: "Mr. Adj
ans whole route from Utica eastward yesterday
was sort Of uiumphal progress. At all the
stopping places on the road, crowds were collect
ed to bid the veteran statesman God speed, as he
passed along on his journey. These unlocked
for, unsolicited manifestations of the popular re-
spect and regard, must have been mos, grateful to
Mr.. Adams"

MIR. CALHOUN'S LETTER

Mr.. CALuoYN's LETTER to the editors of the
National lntelligencer in relation TO the "sup-
pressed speeches" will BIO found in to.day's paper.
The subjoined remarks in reference to il, from the
Petersburg inteligencer, are so much to the point
that we publish them, believing they are as good.
and perhaps better, than any we might make:
"Aside from the main purpose of the letter, the
writer is placed by it in new position before the
county, and, we might say, az far as canaOur is
concerned, In much more respectable position
than he has heretofore occupied. For the first
time, MIR. Calhoun has condescended to acknow-
ledge that he has changed his opinions, and to
waive the claim heretofore SO pertinacousy, and,
we may, with great truth say, so rdculously
urged by himself and friends, of absolute con-
sstency. How this recent admission of change
on his part can be reconcied with his own dec!a-
ration made a few years since in the Senate, that
'he had changed no relation, personal politica'
or, with the very recent assertions by his friends
| in the South Carolina Convention, of his constant
opposition TO Bank, Tariff and Internal Improve
ment, we leave his admirers to show. Mr.. Cal
houn's admiration Of his own speeches--although
! they contained doctrines which he has lived to
repudiate, and his claims to "lofl, Sentiments "
&c. &c., are highly significant of the modesty and
humility, which have always formed conspicuous
traits in his character.
| There is admission which Mr.. Calhoun
makes that is highly important. lie says, these
speeches, which took the broadest ground in IA
vor Of Bank, Tariff and Internal Improvement,
were 'applauded by the Republican party sat the
time they were delivered. In future, when Bank,
Tariff and Internal Improvement schemes are
charged to have been originated by the old Fede-
raj Party, we shall bring John G. Calhoun to the
witness box, and prove the falsiy Of the charge.
They were Republican measures, and the off
spring of the very men who swear by the Resolu-
tons of '9S and '99.''

DAILY STAGE LINE.

The travel on this route is now very brisk. BY
resort to extras the proprietors of the lines are
forwarding on the passengers without delay. We
are informed By passenger from the South, that
on the boat from which he and his Company land
ed at Guyandotte, there were more than twenty
passengers who were anxious to take this route
to the iasi but for want of daily line of Stages
were compelled to GO on to Wheeling. This fact
shows that with daily line, more speed, and a
ltte reduction In the are the travel on this route
TO Winchester would be doubled. Travellers on
the Ohio who are seeking the Springs on this
route or the east informed that there is now a
line OF Stages running from Point Pleasant at the
mouth of the kanawha to this place. 1t leaves
the Point, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday morn
same time the Stage leaves Guyandotte.

Mr.. CALHOUN AND HIS OMITTED SPEECHES.
MIR. Calhoun, in his letter to the Intelligencer,
fixes the period of his election TO the Vice Pres-
dency-as that at which he entered upon a new
state of existence, and from which he is response
BILE for whatever he said or did. He leaves it to
be inferred, that the compilation of his Speeches
made by himself includes all the important Speech
es made by him since that time. What is the
fact? That compilation omifs, (it could not sup
PresS) one of the greaestif not the very greatest
Speech ever made by Mr. Calhoun that deliver
ed on Jackson's Protest in May l934-ten years
after he was Vice President! The Intelligencer
republshes this Speech, with comments, which
tell.
How did it happen that that great Speech was
omitted l--Rtchn,ond mir.

The Hon. w. p. FEssENDEN, a Representative
in the last Congress from the State of Maine,
declines reelection. In letter written by him,
he says
81 take this occasion, sir, formally 10 announce
my intention not again to be a candidate for Con-
gress. The situation Of my private and domestic
affairs at the present time renders such determi-
nation imperative. The honor conferred on mo
by an election to a seat in the 9th Congress will
long be sensibly and gratefully appreciated. l
can say with sincerity thai, while holding that
distinguished station, l endeavored to discharge
its duties faithfully. Whoever may be elected as
my successor, whether Wing or Democrat, will,
hope, have as little desire to promote private or
party views, at the expense Of great public inte~
rests, as had.
"Wih regard to the much abused majority in
that 27th Congress, believe the time has already
come when the Unprecedented and overwhelming
difficulties Of their situation, the courage and firm
ness with which those difficulties were met, and
the unyie!diBg virtue which carried them through
that depressing and sickenng ordeal, are UNDER
stood by the country. Treason and desertion
could not dishearten them, denunciation paralyze,
or corruption polute. Aud it will ever be my
pride tina. of such majority was one, though
one Of the hunblest."

PIRATES CAUGHT.--The schr. Lavina, which re-
Gently sailed from Alexandria, was found deserted
on the coast Of r. Island few days ago. Shortly
afterwards two of the crew were arrested, whose
story was that the Captain and the Mate [Charlcs
ii. Dearborn and Walter A. NicolD while fight
ing, fell overheard and were drowned They
have since confessed, however, that they were
murdered, and the vessel then pillaged by the
crew, consisting of David Babe, William Web
ster and John Mathews,--sal of whom, except
Webster, are in custody. John Johnson, the CO.
lored cook, was also murdered.

The REvENUE-THE TARlrr.-Of the two con-
s'sfenf arguments (says the New York Trbune)
against Protective Tarifl--6rst, that it will d.
mlnlsh the revenue from imports so as to render
necessary resort TO direct taxation, and, second
that 1t will create so large revenue from imports
as to tempt the Government in all manner of ex-
travagance-the former has been the 1avorite for
the last year or two. We are happily able to do
something towards dissipatng apprehensions on
pom sides. The revenue accruing at this port
during the month of July CATER deduc,ing for
drawbacks, &c.) amounts TO something over 81,
100000. The revenue accruipg at this single
port in the sutry stagnani month OF July, ought
no. certainly 10 be more than one-twentieth of the
amount collected in twelve months throughout the
onion, Which would make annual revenue
S22,oOo,O 900. Estimating it one-twenty-fourth
which we think would be nearer the mark, our
annual revenue would be $40, 400, O00-enoueh TO
deiray all the expenditures of the Government
and pay off the existing debt in the course of five
years.-Pefersbure Int.

GRAPE OF GRAPEs.-The New Orleans Cou-

GREAT STORM AT PHILADELPHIA

The city OF Philadelphia was visited on Satur-
day evening, the 5th instant, between seven and
eight o'clock, with the most violent and destruc-
tive storm that has been experienced in that vi
city for many years.
The storm ragged with undated fury for nearly
an hour, uprooting trees, unroofng and tearing
down many unfinished houses, and CAUSING i'm
mense destruction of property and loss of life
The storm extended for miles around the city,
swelling to furious rivers every little stream, and
presenting scenes of misery and suffering seldom,
if ever witnessed before. The loss of property in
Delaware county alone, is estimated at nearly
100000.

The JUDGMENT OF DEMONSTRATION is made
in La Courier EtotS Bnis of curious case, which
has excited lively sensation within the domi-
mons Of the Pope. wealthy merchant of Fer
rara was recently assassnated. The assassins
avowed their crime, bat declared that they com
mitted it at the instigation of lady distinguished
as well for her beauty her wit and cleverness.
Improbable as was the charge, she was tried,
found guilty and condemned to death, with her
two accomplices. The lady appealed to the court
of Bologna. The proof of her guilt on the first
trial consisted OF the testimony of four witnesses,
and to all appearances the same evidence would
induce second condemnation. But some hours
before the opening of the court, two of these wit
nesSes died of disease; a third, upon his way to
the court fell and was killed. The fourth gave
his testimony against the lady as before, but be-
ing accused Of bearing false witness, he exclaim-
ed, "May die this moment if ] am not telling
the truth" He bad scarcely uttered the words
before he fell with shock of apoplexy, and i'm
nedlately expired. The cour. at once acquitted
the defendant but the public minister ordered the
fair lady TO be detained for six months, to give
opportunity TO produce new evidence against her.

Col. JOHNSON, &c.-Iu Missouri, strong John

in that State, Johnson Democrats have taken the
field against Van Buren, Democrats--and the
most bitter feeling subsists between them. The

CRIME IN FLoRiDA.--Governor Call, OF Florida,

two hundred dollars Tor the apprehension of two
brothers of the name of Burney, charged with the
homicide of Joseph Manning, at public gather

about the 9Th ultimo. The Tallahassee Floridieh
has this very remarkable reference To the matter
"Ne are not fully informed of all the pariicu-
lars, and, If we Were, it might be improper TO
publish them in advance OF a trial, as it might
prejudice the public mind. II is not, we think,
however, improper to state, that the origin of the
dilficulties between the parties is said 10 have
grown out OF reports circulated recently upon the
alleged authority of confessions of two convcis,
recently sent To the pententiary of Georgia from
Lowndes county for manslaughier, which impli-

We have not words to express our horror on
account of the reports founded upon the alleged
confession of the Georgia convcts. We learn
that several citizens Of Florida, heretofore esteem
ed to be respectable, are named, in conjunction
with some of the veriest outcasts of society, re-
lugees from other parts, brought hither since the
war, as being members IF an organized gang Of
robbers and Murderers and il is asserted that cir

patton an deeds Of outrage and murder upon Mcir

to repeat, and too incredible TO be believed. If
there is a shadow of truth in these reports, TIE
matter should be ferreted out: the facts should
be made public. The innocent should have an
opportunity OF disproving the allegations impli-
eating them, and the guilty should be punished.
The circulation of these reports and rumors should
cease, unless legal steps taken to investigate
the guilt OF those accused"

CROPS IN New YoRK.-The Now York Tr-
bune of Tuesday has the following gratifying pa
ragraph in relation to the crops of that State:
The Wheat harvest throughout this State, as
we gather from comparison of all accounts, has
been fair average one-the straw thin, by reason
of the severity of the winter, but the heads long
and the berry clean and plump. Even in Wayne
county, whence we recently had reports of fail
ure from rust, &c, we now hear that the yield
will be very fair one. AS there was great
area sowed last fall we cannot doubt that the ne-
neral harvest will be abundant.

Money AND BUSINESS MATTERS IN New YoRK.
The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser of Saturday
afternoon has the following paragraphs:
The general aspect Of business, and the pros
poets for the fall trade, are gradually becoming
more favorable. The mercantile community evince
degree of confidence in the reviving prosperity
OF the country, TO which they have long been
strangers. The prospects of the crops, now con-
sidered favorable, and The advance which has
taken place i'll most descriptions of produce, taken
in connection with the fact that the purchases Of
goods by the country trade for the last Two or
three years have been the most limited scale,
afford good grounds for the conclusion that the
business of the coming season will be sound and
prosperous.
Money continues quite as abundant as at any
previous period, and as business improves and
confidence is increased, will doubtless become in
more general circulation. Because The quotation
OF money may be three four per cent. per an
mum, it by no means follows that it can be pro-
cured at that rate upon every species of securities
even those which are unquesonably good 'Fhe
loans made at such low rates are made upon the
very choicest securities, for short periods; secur-
ties which are not merely good, but which may at
moments notice be converted into money!
Hence upon bonds and mortgages we hear of no
loans under per cent, and it is probable that
most OF those now making at per cent.

Cry REPUDIATIoN.-New York city is under
Locofoco rule. OF course she suffers. A delibe
rate contract for cleaning streets, lately entered
into, has been annuled by The Common Council
of that city. The Commercial Advertiser says:
''This deliberate violation of the pledged faith
OF the city is equivalent to any act Of 'repudia-
ton done or threatened, as yet, by any of the
States; and it would be greater violation of
principle or honor were the Common Council to-
morrow to repudiate the public debt of the CITY,

violation of public faith The French iacobins
acted with no greater want of faith towards the
creditors of France. Indeed, the most thorouoh-
faced jacobinism is rampant here, and dearly will
the people have to smart for it. Having deter
mined to fall back upon the old system Of prodi.
gailty, the cost OF street cleaning will now be
doubled. Added TO which will be the damages
which the Supreme Court will make the city pay
Tor the violation Of this contract"
