The monumen, to Washington is steadily rising

The position of the monument is fine, on the banks
of the same Potomac which flows by the tomb of
the father of his country. The column is rec,angu

Aztec Ruins.

That 1t has once supported vast population could not doubt, for the ruins of their towns and cities are plainly visible fof hundFeds of miles. Stone foundations are frequently seen, covering many acres, but with one exception, we did not find any building in any degree Of preservation This was about four miles from our trai and 24O above the mouth ofthe river
 The building Is sixty feet by forty i've three stories high, and is cobstfueted of the adobe similar to that used in the houses of New Mexico. Whether these ruins have any connection with those of South America is not known. The plains in their vii inity are covered for four miles with broken pottery of buvut clay. beautifully burnt and nrnamented; and ihis was the only elew which we had to the advance fnent cf the builders in the mechanic art The Pemos Indians have ont very imperfect traditions of these remains" Any road from the gulf shore to the Pacihc would naturally pass through this valley. That great national highway must be opened upon our frontier line connecting by speedy travel our pos0. no one who has bestowed upon the subject the most casual glance doubt, and that road must pass up ths west bank Of the Nueces past the head waters of the Las Moras, SoQuete, San Pedro, San Fiipe. crossing the Styx and Puerco thence to the head waters Of the Gila is even less doubtful IL will then be but brief period when the scientific men oi our country can search out and bring to light me hidden mysteries of the past. and the antigua rtsn passes from ruin to ruin, other and brighter pages will be added to American literature.
