TuE last of the three obortive attempts to
raise money to complete the Washington mon
u'nent has been the means of provoking re.
newed criticism on that awkward and absurd
structure. The Missouri Democrat says:
This design presents lofty column sticking
up through the top of little house, and has
been not inaptiy compared to a stake driven
through pumpkin. 1t is repulSivc nike to
good taste and to artistic sentiment; and every
person who pays any attention to the subject
perceiTes that, instead of honoring the memory
of Washington, such structure would only in
suit it; and that instead of being when com Pile
ted a thing OF beauty, it would be m object
which no one could contemplate without un-
pleasant feelings, blotch in land scapeand a
disugreeable feature in city, which has too
many disagreeabe features already If the
managers Of the Washington National Monu-
ment Association persist in the idea of compile
ting the deformty which they have begun, they
may appeal to the country forever, but will most
likely appeal in vain"

"the Stricken" as they are called, whether the
stroke is the effect of an epidemic, or the heat of
crowded and protracted meetings, acting on the
weak nerves, or hysteria, affecting by sympathy,

orally allowed, that it is only by the spiritual
fruits of the Gospel, produced in permanence,
that it can be proved, in the case of such, that
the Spirit of God took hold of such condition

The Spiritual Telegraph says that Mr. An
drew Jackson Davis is the central mental mir
acIe of the nineteenth century. He never writes
except he is impelled to do so by more than an
ordinary influence, and then he relrgiously de-
votes himself to it, regulating his diet, exercise,
sleep, and times of writing according to the laws
and principles which have been disclosed to
him through the mysterious channel of intelli-
gence." When Andrew jackson was engaged

ONr of the editors of the New York CONNER
ci0I recently visited the prison at Sing Sing
He writes that the curiosity of the female prison
is the prison child. This is beautiful boy
about two years old, born in prison of convict
mother, who was sent there for passing coun-
terfeit money. He is the pet of the establish
mont, and the admiration of every visitor A
short time since, a wealthy Southern lady, on
visiting tho prison, became so much attached to
the child, that she offered any amount of mon.
ey to be allowed to adopt it as her own, but the
mother would not part with it. She has three
more years to serve as convict.

HALF a century ago the annual production of
nations, was estimated at $39, 500, 900; with no
material deviation in the average in the mean
time, the annual yield is now $44, 100000. Silver
is flowing to the East with great rapidty. From
the reading of long and elaborate article on
the subject compiled from the books Of an En-
glish navigation company it appears that in ] 856
this company carried direct from England to
Asia $50, 100000, and 1857, $S4, OoO, 900 in sill
yer. In 1851 the quantity shipped through the
sand channel was only $9,50O,000. There was
sent to the East from the Mediterranean ports
in 1856, $40, 100000 of silver, and in 1857, $780,
100000. 1t goes Eastward through many 9TH
or channels, but the two items given above for
1857 amount to more than double the annual
supply that comes to our part Of the world
The Chinese and all the barbarouS nations of
Asia demand silver. In the British Empire of
India, silver alone is the legal tender; and new
market is now opened for the same metal in
Japan. How extensive a market this last will
prove to be cannot yet be known; but the
JaPenesc will aid in draining silver ION Europe
to the extent of whatever gold they now possess.
1t would seem as if the two great sections of
the globe-the Atlantic nations on the one part,
and the Asatics on the other-had agreed to
divide the precious metals between them, the
Asiatics choosing to have the silver, the Allan
tic nations being content to retain the gold and
the actual division is rapidly going on.

FROM day to day and week to week, the dis
indignation and Generalization of the present
party in power goes on. Surely and swiftly it
is splitting into factions and cliques under rival
aud antagonistic principles and leaders. One
by one its various leaders are showing their
hands. Prominent among the entering wedges
is Gov. Wise's last letter. 1t is doing work
that thousand arguments from the opposition
on abstract principles could not, probably, do.
Hence, all that concerns this late remarkable
letter bears considerable public interest. All
agree, pretty much, throughout the list of our
exchanges, that it is the most suicidal and fool
ish, as we'll as disgracefu political document
that has found its way into print for long
time. The Richmond Enquirer thus raves about
its publication.
We reserve comments for the present upon
bit of scoundrelism about this and kindred
matter, Of which we have the evidence, which
could not await development anywhere else bet
ter than in New York and Albany, and which,
If hemp had its due, ought make some heels
kick the mir.
A New York correspondent of the Richmond
Whig says that after the reading of the letter,
Wise had not one friend left at Albany.
Gov Wood skunk away from Albany, and
came down in the night boat, hiding himself
away in the Clerks state room. When that Por-
ton of Mr.. Wise's letter relating to himself was
read to him (Wood) he swore like trooper,
called Wise every sort of vile name, and added,
IN be id if 90 not publish all Wise's
letters to me, and expose his duplicity." If he
does, and he is very likely to do it, the cpistola
ry correspondence of Henry A. Wise will be a
rich political volume, if his political honesty is
on par with that of the letter to the Albany
Committee man. There is one feeling of uni
versal scorn from all high-minded Democrats
The venerable Dickinson cried when the letter
of Mr.. Wise was exposed to him. He observed,
"sir, it is high time that we unite and send but
one set of delegates to Charleston, when so
prominent man as Wise dare send such an in
famous letter, proposing to us chart of delibe-
rate political yillany, in order to secure his
nomination. am ashamed that man calling
himself Southern Democrat, should exhibit
such combinasion of ignorance, egotism, ras-
cality, and self.conceit, and expect the New
York Hards to cooperate with him. for one,
dsown all further connection With him.
