The great National Monument at Wash
ington, says tho Baltimore American. has
now reached height OF fifty feet, and
begins to develope itself to the eye in all
the beauty of its majestic proportions. A
steam engine of seventy horse power has
been erected and put in operation, by
means of which blocks of several tons
weight are raised to the top of the work in
minute and half. A derrick connect
ed with the engine affords facilities for
hoisting at four different points at the same
time. Several of the States have already
brought to the ground their offerings of
stone, and it is to be hoped that like ac-
tion will speedily be had on the part of all
the members of the Confederacy. The
position allotted TO these stones is at each
landing of the great stairway, in the wall
fronting the ascent. There will be more
than fifty ofthese landings, and it has been
suggested that recesses should be left in
which, upon grand occasion, to be here
after specified, the blocks of stone shall all
be deposited with appropriate ceremonies,
preserving the historical order Of the States
from which they came.

post Office duties and service are, in many
respects, i'll adapted to the circumstances
and condition of the country. Many let
ters have been sent there for persons pas
ing the overland route, and if the same
were to be treated as dead letters at the
end Of the second quarter after their arri-
val they would be sent back before these
persons would arrive there. Indeed, the
sending as dead letters to the depart
ment here those letters mailed from one
office to another in California would be
more than useless. @
No sufficient pecuniary means are at
the command of the department for this
service. The price of labor, of personal
service, and the price required for Office
room, are such that no allowance now au-
thorized by law can secure post-office in
California. Nor can the mails be trans
ported within the country for any compen-
sation which the postage received there
will furnish. No sufficient returns have
been received there by which to determine
the expense of what has already been
done, but it fully appears that provision
must be made much beyond the yield of
the postage there, to meet the cost of even
limited supply of mail accommodation in
that country. This subject requires the
early attention of Congress, and at the
same time provision should be made for
extending mails to Oregon and New Mex
leo. ~ NvI

VIRGINIA.-The Message of Governor
Floyd exhibits the finances of Virginia in
a very favorable aspect The public debt
of the commonwealth amounts to $741,-
294. This aggregate could be liquidated
at once by the sale of the profitable stocks
of the State The Governor, however, re-
minds the Legislature that an additional
sum of S6 ,O00,O 900 may be called for out
of the Treasury under existing laws-in
which even the public debt would be in
creased by that amount. He recommends
that provision be made to meet this liabil
ity.
Upon the question Of slavery, Governor
FLOYD remarks:-
"We plant ourselves upon the constitu-
ton itself and rest our claims to protection
upon its solemn guarantees. We desire
no more power for slavery than is confer
red by it, we ask no greater security
The querulous complaints which the fanat-
les make continually against the aggres-
sive spirit of ''the slave power" are cal.
culated only 10 deceive their deluded fol-
lowers. "The slave power dictated the
terms of the present Union, and gave up
voluntarily that authority and control,
which the agitators say it is now striving to
lay hold on"
