MEXICO.

The Mexican Monitor is troubled for
the prosperity and safety OF the au.
gust Republic Of Mexico. The fol.
lowing views Of that paper are rather
amusing:
The Monitor says the frontier
States are cursed with three plaques
Ebarbarous Indians, poor newspapers
And the proximity Of the North Amer
cans. and that the latter, with all
fheir steamboats,, railroads and mag.
netic telegraPhs are very troublesome
neighbOrs.
The Monitor has for some time past
opposed the further multiplication of
monks and nuns in the republic Of
Mexico, arguing that they are an IN.
productive class Of society, and that
the country needs emigrants whOwill
increase the population, 90 as 10 make

TEB SEA SERPENT. The following
extract from the Rev. Walter Colton's

persons in cOnfounding a shoal of
whales in the SOulk Carolina waters,
with his mysterious majesty. the Sea
Serpent, though a very ludicrou', was.
after all, not very unnatural one for
land lubbers:
"a large number Of black whales
are plunging about our ship. They

MYSTERIOUS KNOCK stupd
hoax still continues TO excite attention at
Rochester, N. Y. Here is an account of
these spiritual revelations, perfectly sats-
factory to all Gisbelevers:
A young man called a day or two since
upon the young ladies in whose keeping
are the Rochester spirits. His barring
was sad and his voice was tremulous with
emotion. Sorrow was IN his cOuntenance
aud weed on his hat. He sighed as he
took his seat, and the by.sanders pitied
him a they saw him draw forth a spotless
handkerchief and wipe away a tear that
gathered in his eye. After a few mo-
ments, he took one Of the ladies' aside, and
requested, if convenient, TO be put in COM
munication with lhe spiritual essence of
his mother, and here he wiped his eyes
rapidly, and sobbed.
period of quiet elapsed, and knock
was heard, signifying that the deceased
correspondence could be heard, and with
a hesitaling voice, the young man ,Om-

WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

A stone is to be furnished from
Breddock's field, for the Washington
Monument, to commemorate one ol
the most stremarkable events Of our his.
tory, in which Washington bore a dis
tinguishcd part. All will conur in the
appropriateness Of the inscription Sc
lected. There could not be a better,
and we hope it will be adopted with
a statement Of the time and circum.
stances under which it was delivered.
Speaking Of the matter a correspon-
dent Of the Pittsburg Gazette says:
''ln entire confidence that a block
will be prepared, Of the prescribed
dimensions, and with some appropri
ate inscription, | take the liberty to
suggest that none conid be more snita.
bic, or felicitous, than the following
extract from a sermon, delivered BY
the Rev. Samuel Davies, in Hanover
county. Virginia, on the 18th Of Au-
gust, l755, thirty-nine days after
BraddOck's defeat.
"As a remarkable instance OF this
(patriotic spirit | may point out to
the public that heroic youth. Colonel
Washington, whom | cannot bHt hope
Providence has hitherto preserved, IN 50

Il is a remarkable fact that Wash.
ington was the only officer, on horse
back who escaped unhurt on that fatal
day, and be had four bullets through

him."
A member Of the South Carolina
oommitte Of 25. in charge Of Mr..
Calhoun's remains, writes from Pitts
burg:
From our first entrance into Yir>
ginia until the present moment We
have received the most extraordinary
manifestation Of respect and sympa-
thy, and the most unfemitted kindness
and attention from her hospitable
sons"
