PROSP ECTUS
or THE
NATIONAL MONUMENT,
WEEKLY JOURNAL


To be published in Washington, under the sanction
ofMe Washington National Monument Society.
JAMES G. PicKErr, Editor and Publisher.
The MoNuMENT is intended to be a literary, ag-
ricultural, and miscellaneous paper. II will con-
tain select portions of the literature Of the day
the best that can be found in American and Euro
pean publications; interesting scientific articles,
embracing mechanics foreign and domestic news; I;
synopsis OF the proceedings of Congress, and
every thing that such journal might be expected
to contain, with the exception of party politics,
which will be at all times most vigorously ex-
cluded.
The MONUMENT will be published for the ex-
press and the sole purpose of aiding in the erec-
ton of the noble column now rising the bank
OF the Potomac, in honor Of the Father of his
Country, and which every one who venerates the
name OF WAsHISGToN, would rejoice to see CON-
pleted. After deducting out of the subscription,
the expense of the journal proposed to be publish
ed, the remaining funds will be faithfully applied,
and without reserve, to the purpose indicated
The aid, therefore, of all who are willing to con-
tribute to SO patriotic an object, and one entire
y naional is earnestly requested BY subscrib-
ingto the MoNumENT, valuable journal at a low
price may be obtained, while it will be doing
something, at the same time, towards completing
that majestic memorial Of the Nation s gratitude.
The board of managers recommend Mr.. Pick
ett formerly Fourth Auditor ofthe Treasury and
Charge d'Afiaires TO Peru, who proposes to edit
and publish the Monument journal, as one well
qualified to perform the duties of editor and to
conduct the paper, faithfully, and satisfactorily to
the subscribers. They assure their fellow-citi-
zens that this enterprise is not a speculation got
up for individual emolument. Mr.. Pickett will
make the experiment with his own means and at
his own risk, and, if successful, he will receive
| nothing more, and he asks nothing more, than a
very moderate compensation for his services. Not
dollar, therefore, Of the direct subscription TO
the erection Of the Monument will be, in any
event, applied to the support of the paper, nor
the society in any manner held pecuniary respons-
| ible.
To give the public an idea of what may be done
with the journal il is proposed to publish, it may
be stated that list of fifty thousand paying sub
scribers, at two dollars each, will yield an annual
net profit of from fifty to sixty thousand dollars
The post masters, and secretaries of all organ
zed bodies throughout the Union, are respect
fully requested TO act agents in obtaining sub
scriptions for this journal, thus aiding the great
object of our exertions.
As all editors and publishers, on account of the
object for lich the Monument newspaper will
be established, must wish il to succeed is hoped
that they will contribute to it's success by publish
ing this prospectus.

There was, strange to say, great difficulty in
proving that Mr.. Jones had been on the boat
at the time of the collapse, that worthy having
notoriously been very drunk on the wharf boat
just as the steamer left Trinity.
Many witnesses were examined to prove the
fact until iually 4 NJ. Dictzmar, a German was
placed on the stand. Oar friend j. S. was at.
