Washington National Monument.

AS my former notice may not have been
seen very generally throughout the differ
ent States, am instructed to repeat that
the Board of Managers of the Washington
National Monument Society will be pleas
ed to receive block of marble, granite,
or any other suitable stone from every
state in the Union, TO be placed in an APP
prcpriate position in the monument These
blocks should be of the following dimen-
sions, viz: four feet long, two feet high,
and eighteen inches in depth. AS it is in
tended to place these stones at every land
ing of the stair-ca any substantial mate
rial will answer when marble or granite
cannot be found. The name of the State
from which it comes should be engraved
upon it sufficiently large TO be easily read.
They will be laid in the wall in the order
of time in which they may be received in
this city.
1t is gratifying TO the Board 10 state that
the citizens Of Talladega, Alabama, antici-
pated the invitation of the Board, and ten
dered their tribute Of block of marble
from the quarries in that county. Virgin
ia in two instances and Georgia have sue
cessively followed the noble example; and
it is confidently expected that every State
in the Union will be represented in this
national edifice. GEO. WATTERSON.

COMETS.

PRorosrrIoS.-Isi it possible that COM
ct could come into contact with the earth
or any ether plane,2 T F.
SoLurIoN.-Comets move in all direc-
tons, and traverse extremely elongated
ellipses, whicl, mtersect our solar system
and cut the orbits Of the planets. There
is, therefore, no absolute impossibility of
a comet coming into contact With them,
and rigorolslyx speaking, we pust ac-
knowledge thas the sir,s'A br d comet
against our earth might happen; hut at
the same time il is an EXTREMITY improb-
able event, Of which we may satisfy
ourselves il we compare the small mass
of this globe and OF the comets with
the immensely Of space in which they
move. The doctrine Of probabilities fur
ni.hes the criterion by which we may esti-
mate numerically the chances of such a
shock, and it appears to be only in 2Sl
millions: that is to say, if any unknown
comet were 10 appear, one might bet 2Sl
millions against unity, that it would not
strike our globe. 1t would then be
weakness in any man to alarm himself
about so unlikely danger. However,
the effects of such a collision might be
most awful If the earth were so violen-
tly struck that its orbitual movement was
destroyed, everything not adherent TO the
surface, as animals, water, &c.,, would
rush from it with velocity Of seven
leagues in second If the shock only
retarded the rotary movement, the seas
would spring up from their beds, and the
poles would be changed. The famous La
Place thus describes the effects that would
follow: "The axis and rotary movement
being changed, the seas would abandon
their ancient basins to precipitate them
selves on the new equator; great numbers
of men and animals would be drowned liz
this universal deluge, or crushed by the
violent shock impressed on the terrestrial
globe; all the monuments Of human indus
try would be overturned; such are the
disasters which shock Of a comet would
occasion. We see, therefore, why the
ocean formerly covered lofty mountains,
on which it has left indubitable marks
of its presence; we see why animals and
plants of the south have existed in northern
regions, where we find their remains and
traces; finally. we explain the newness OF
the moral world, whose monuments are
not more ancient than five thousand years.
The human race reduced 10 small num-
Der Of individuals, and to the most deplo.
rable condition, solely occupied, during a
long period, the conservation OF exls-
tence, must have entirely lost the re-
membranee of science and art; and when
the progress Of civilization created new
wants, it would become necessary to Gre
ate all things anew, as though men had
been for the first time placed on this
globe" -.....# .....=

western confines of the United States and
our possessions one the Pacific coast
The writer says: s@ .aa@
These hardy and extraordinary animals
can 60 from two to four days, and with no
great Inconvenience, without water. They
can travel further in day than the best
horses in theworld. They defy, I'M great
measure, the influences Of climate. They
can carry nearly three times the load Of a
mule. They can pass, stepping with their
long legs over great boulders, along the
rocky beds oftorrents, w hich neither mules
nor horses could travese. Their tough,
and, as Lieut.. Linch says, their great,
pulpy, india-rubber splay feet are equally
useful upon the yielding sand and hinty
stones. The impression that they cannot
pass over rocky countries, is not correct.
All intelligent travellers fully sustain the
statements of the cores pondent upon this
point, as well as upon that of their almost
incredible speed upon long journeys.

Earth has heard too long of battle,
Heard the trumpet's voice too long;
But another age advances,
Seers foretold in song.

Those who slaughtering met their kind,
Have too often won the chaplet
Honor's hand has twined.
But the heroes of the future
Shall be men whose hearts are strong:
Men whose words and acts shall only
War against the wrong.
But the sabre, in their contests
Shall no part, no honor own;
Wars dread art shall be forgotten,
Carnage all unknown.
Years are coming, when forever
Wars dread banner shall be furled,
And the angel, Peace, be welcomed

LIB f RTAD:

aF. .u CANTo l..
Warn'd by the sounds which Auttcr,d on the gale,
Fresh forces gatherd from the neighboring plain !;
The veal of country warns each youthful mind
And Ger the uplands rush the STRIPPING train, /
With buoyant steps; and now at length they gain
The ground where Mars destructive fires glow,
And there their comrades join behold the slain,
Inflan'd with rage at such dire scenes of wo,
They draw their swords now strike in terror fly
che foe.
Thro' bush, and brake, the hardy Briton reepd,
Stunn'd by the sudden, and resistless shock
As some tall ship by force compelled, does yield
Its massy hulk, to some wave-tossing rock, Sd
And trembling in It's parts beneath the stroke,
Recoils in fury DER the surging deep.
So Pitcairn's lines, in wild disorder stalk,
Forth from the field, unto his dungeon keep
Pursued by STRIPPING youths Ger vale and mountain
This wanton act inflam'd the public mind
And rous'd up those that stood aloof before,
Till the whole country moved from shore to shore
In vengeance to redress the wrongs it bore,
Which made our land with greater anguish bleed,
And pressed the life-blood from her bosom's core
Inaam'd that spirit which they had decreed;
Should like the cloud Of pillar and fame their forces
load.
Proud England shudder'd, and turn'd chastity pale,
When this sad rumor reach'd her royal ears,
While hate and malice in .heir turn assail;
The weird bosems Of her princely peers
Who vex'd at this mishap, and filpd with fears,
Pour'd dark opprobrium on our troubled land,
Which now presented scenes Of grief and tears
Rife with the murder Of that youthful band,
Who dar'd in her defence to WELD the flaming brand
Columbia heard their harsh and fell decree
Hoarse-echo DER the Oceans bounding breast,
AS when bleak Boreas' offthe Northern sea
Descending mars the peaceful waters rest,
And trails dark thundsr-clouds along the west
To warn the mariner upon the deep
Of storms ere long to sweep the Atlantic's crest
To hurl his bark against some coral steep
sleep.
So the rash threats which naughty England breathd
To waste our land by the rough heel of war,
While martial thousands with the sword unsheath'd
To force her laws, or thrust her fame afar,
Rolrd like the knell Of Death to freedoms ear
As such were they by every patriot heard,
But these did never once their purpose mar,
Nor blight the hopes they nurs'd but strrd
Them in that cause, which they far more than life
preferr'd. MUSA.
