LATE FROM Ell PAso.-An arrival at New Or
leans from Texas, brings the following news
from FL Paso, contained in the Galveston Journal
of the 18th:
C.pt. Skmnn arrived this morning by the
steamship Fuselier He left the copper mines
near GIa on the lltn of July, and Ell p 50 on
the 23d, and arrived in San Antonio on the 4th
instant He is now proceeding to Washington.
We learn from Capt. Skilman that early in
June, party of twelve men, being on their way
to California by the Gila, encountered consid
cradle body of Apache Indians near the copper
mines, and after severe conflict, lost two men
killed and two wounded, and finally had to re-
treat to tie nearest village, called Hannis, with
the loss of everything they had. One of the
men killed was Mexican, and the other an
American, named Renfro. Mr.. Hicks was very
badly wounded, and Mr.. Charleyvie, from St
Louis, Mo-, sighlly.
The gold mines between the copper mines
and the Ga are now being worked successfully.
Some fifteen or twenty men are engaged there
sinking shafts, from whence they procure the
gold, mixed with sand and separate it by wash
ing. as in California Surface gold, as in Cali
fornia, is found on the Gila but no attempts have
vet been made to dig gold on the Gis, in conse-
auence of the hostile Indians. 1t is however
expected that these mines will soon be worked
to advantage.
The last train that left San Antonio for El
Paso found the bodies of four men between the
Pecos and FL Paso, on the 9th June. Nothing
is known Of the men, or the means by which
they came TO their unhappy end.

ricultura, and miscellaneous paper. IL 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
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-
cuded.
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 on the bank
Of the Potomac, in honor OF the Father of his
Country, and which every one who venerates the
name OF WAsHNGroN, would rejoice to COM
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 willing to con-
tribute TO so patriotic an object, and one entire
y national, is earnestly requested. By subscrib-
ing to 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 Is gratitude.
The board of managers recommend Mr.. Pick
EFT, 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
the subscribers. They assure their fellow-citi-
zens that this enterprise is not a speculation got
up for individual emoument Mr.. Pickett will
make the experiment with his own means and al
his own risk, and, if successful he will receive
nothing more, and he asks nothing more, than
very moderate compensation for his services. No
dollar, therefore, Of the direct subscription te
the erection of the Monument will be, in any
event, applied to the support of the paper moi
the society in any manner held pecuniary respons
ible.
| To give the public an idea ofwhat may be done
with the journal it is proposed to publish, it may
be stated that list of fifty thousand paying sub
scrbers, at two dollars each will yield an annual
net profit of from fifty 10 sixty thousand dollars
The post masters, and secretaries Of all organ
ized bodies throughout the Union, are respect
fully requested to act as agents in obtaining sub
scriptons for this journal, thus aiding the great
object of our exertions.
As all editors and publishers on account of the
object for which the Monument newspaper will
be established, must wish it to succeed, il is hoped
that they will contribute to it's success by publish
ing this prospectus.

Although but one plan can be adopted, the com
mitee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted should such be found necessary; in
