WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT.


II will be recollected that, about a year ago,
the Know-nothings Of this city obtained pos
session Of the management Of the Washington
National Monument Society, crushing OUT
the old board altogether. 1t was at that time
said by the Know-nothings, in tone OF ex-
ultation, "Now the Monument will be com
pleted, and that right speedily" The new
board, however, have failed in these extra
VACANT calculations; and according to the
official report, just published, the "plan look.
ing to an assessment of some small amount
on each member Of that party, while agents
ont side Of the party should be actively en-
gagged in canvassing the whole country, and
bringing to every man an opportunity to con.
tribute" was in part begun, but before il had
got fairly into operation, as they say, the un-
fortunate publication by the old board assailing
US, (them,) and expressing their views OF their
and our relative rights, defeated the working
Of this scheme, and the subscriptions which
had already been made in many Councils Of
the party, are withheld" In the language Of the
report, " the receipts Of the year have been far
less than in any preceding year since the
cornerstone was laid. The gross amount from
all sources has been hut $7,740."

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL CONvEN-
TON


Jos. S. Bossard, in communication to the
Sumter Is. CO. Watchman, in reply to the
request of the Sumter Agricultural Assoeia-
ton, furnishes a plan for Southern confedera-
tion-that the slaveholding States shall enact
laws for the establishment of an institution to
be conducted under special restrictions, by a
president, and one or more managers or direc-
tors from each State. He states:
l. The objects are mainly to fix fair and per-
manent price upon the cotton and other staples
of the slaveholding States below which it shall
not auctuate.
I'd. To insure the price to the planter the
moment his crop is delivered in good order to
convenient shipping port
Sd. To take from the foreign dealer and
manufacturer the ability Of fixing the prices
of these commodities, (which is now the case, J
and transfer this power to the planter and his
representative.
4th. To enhance the value and amount Of ex-
ports to the confederated States, and turn the
balance of trade in our favor, and thereby be-
ne6t the country at large.
9th. To enlarge the individual profits Of the
planter, and thus counterfeit the oppressive
effects on them, of a tariff for the protection Of
manufactures.
9th. To enlarge their home tariff in domestic
articles.
7th. To afford medium of exchange to
merchants and others
9Th. To institute q currency based upon the
credits OF this confederation, from which none
of the products of the plantation would he ex-
changed, only for specie or its own paper
IL is claimed that this would lessen the barter
in, and consumption OF, Northern merchandise
within those limits, and put in circulation a
currency safe, sound, and uniform. and in
amount equal in value to the entire cotton and
tobacco crop; say at least one hundred millions
Of dollars

NORTH CARoLINA.-The popular idea that
North Carolina produces nothing but star,
pitch and turpentine," is fast being dispeled
by the railroads with which the energy Of her
citizens are covering her territory. Last year
the county Of Hyde exported corn and wheat
to the amount Of $36OOOO; and the county of
Edgecombe raised and sold 100000 worth Of
cotton. The exports from Washington, N. c.,
for last year, amounted to $l,020,6l3 IL, Of
which 37,O45 was to foreign countries. Since
the opening of the Central Railroad 20 Green's
borough, there have been $40 barrels of -four
sent from that town, of which $40 went to Nor
folk; $4,000 barrels OF dried fruit we're among
the first receipts in Norfolk, which resulted
from the opening Of the Central Railroad.

NICARAGUA.

II appears, by the accounts brought from
Nicaragua BY the steamer Star of the West,
which arrived at New York on Thursday, that
on the teuth instant decree was promulgated at
the city of Grenada by Gen. Walker annexing the
whole Mosquito territory as an integral portion
of Nicaragua Shortly afterward the Diploma.
tic Corps, headed BY Col. Kinry, arrived from
San Juan and had an audience with Gen.
Walker. On the following day Col. Kinney
was placed under arrest, and subseq uently
banished the territory Of Nicaragua, and sent,
under the charge of Mayor Martin, to the
Atlantic seaboard.
1t would appear, from the above, that Gen.
Walker has himself undertaken to settle grave
question, regarding which the wisdom of both
Great Britain and the United States has failed
10 come TO a decision. This is perhaps the
only instance in which Mosquitoes are con.
sdered matter for flibusterismi

The merchants of Kansas publish an appeal
to the Chamber of Commerce of st. Louis, to
use its influence to prevent further incursions
into the Territory. The appeal says that if
business continues to be interrupted the mer-
chants Of Kansas will be compelled to turn
their attention to the opening Of another avenue
to the East through other States.

TO certain classes. The news of the appoint
