PUBLIC NOTICE.

Pension OFFICE, February is, 1863.
TINE ATTENTION of this Office has been drawn
TO autographed circular letter, addressed by GER
tain claim agents of Washington city, and extern
sivey distributed, persons believed to be interest
ed in claims for revolutionary pensions, which II IS
rect and unauthorized reference to the Pension
Of1ce as because il has become the subject OF re-
peated and annoying correspondence and inquiry
by those TO whom it has been sent. In part OF
this letter it is stated that the writer for the time
being is a Government claim agent, and in another
place that he is duly authorized agent couched or
at the Department. Again, he requests his corre-
spondent in respect to his reliability aud business
qualifications, to address the Pension Office. To the
many applications touching such references no
speclal answer has been given; and it s proper TO
give general notice that agents haze been daho-
raSed TO refer TO this office for testimonials of char.
detT or QUALIFICATIONS tciH ssich testimonials be
eioen. claim agents become of their own
cnoice, without any reference to this office, or con-
suitlng it, and they must rest upon their own indi
yldual merits and qualifications for public support.
Inc Pension Office ought not to afford any partial
discrimination by endorsing any of them, nor will
it do SO
The circular letter referred to which tits thought
proper thus officially to notice, is founded upon
printed volume published by the United States
Senate in 1852, (Senate Executive document No.
81 32d Congress,) containing report from the
Pension Office, in compliance with call from the
Senate of all suspended and rejected pension claims
aDiM marginal notes of the causes of suspesion or
rejection This volume is doubtless in the hands of
many agente; but 1t does not authorize, has this
office authorized the pretenson that such agents
haze any privileged access to the files Of the Pension
Bureau, or that they can possess any information
tcitaheld from the public at large.

PUTNAM's MONTHLY.

TNHE SUBSCRIBERS, responding to the re-
IL peated and urgently expressed wish Of emil
nent and JuGlcious persons in various sections of
the country, have decided to commence, on the
first Of January, 1858. AN ENTIRELY ORIGI-
NAL PERIODICAL, under the above title.
it is intended to combine the lighter character
istics of popular magazine with the higher and
graver qualities of quarterly review, filing a
position hitherto unoccupied in our literature.
While attractive VARIETY for the general reader
is thus obtained there will be an attempt to secure
substantial EXCELLENCE in each department
To accomplish this intend that the work in
all Its mechanical and business aspects shall be
such as will meet the views of our most distin-
guished writers-such medium as they would
seek for In communicating with the world, and
such as may tempt some to write ably and profita
bly, who have not hitherto contributed to periodi-
GALS -
We intend that all articles admitted into the
work shall be literally paid for.
we beileve that an ample material exists for
such work; that there is no lack either of talent
among our writers or of appreciation thepart of
the reading public; and that a properly conducted
periodical of this kind may bring to light much
true genius yet undeveoped.
'Putnan1's Monthly will be devoted to the in.
terests OF Literature, Science and Artn their best
and pieasantest aspects.
Entirely independent of all merely eelfsh i'm
terests, or partisan sectional eanings, in its
management, 1t will be open to competent writers
for free discussion of such topics deemed inn
portant and of public interest.
The critical department will be wholly indepen-
dent of the publishers, and, far possible of all
personal influence or bias Wholesome cast igations
Of public abuses will be allowed fair field without
fear or favor. 4ss
h An elevated national tone and spirit, American
and independent, yet discriminating and Just
both to the literature and TO the social condition
and prospects of both hemspheres, will be cult
waited as leading principle of the work.
Special attention will be given TO matters con-
nected with social policy, municipal regulations
public health and safety, and the practical econo
mics of every day life.
While a subject needs illustration, or pictorial
example, such illustrations will be occasionally
given; but it is not expected that the success of the
work is to depend on what termed ''embesh-
ments.''
The following, among many others, have ex-
pressed their hearty approval of the plan and will
all give itther general cooperation, while nearly
