TIE POsTNAsTERs AND TIE NATIONAL WASH
INGTON MoNUMENT One of the plans adopted by
the "Nstionsl Washington Monument Society" to
raise funds is to request the Postmssters throughout
the country to give aid to the enterprise by placing
boxes within their respective Offices for the reeep-
ton of contributions and forwarding the returns TO
Washington. However Insignificant by themselves
the amounts contributed may be, they viii swell to
an important aggregate if collected from all of the
$4,000 Post Offices throughout the United States
A few cents mouth transmitted regularly by each
would suffice in few years to raise the shaft to its
intended height. The Postmaster General, in his
letter. approving Of this course addressed 10 Lieut.
Ivrs closes with the following fercibls and patriotic
remarks:
The erection at the metropolis Of the republic of
q monument which shall express the nations esti-
mate Of the grandeur Of Wsshington's character.
and the greatness Of his services to the cause of
human liberty, is enterprise which addresses it.
self warmly to the patriotism Of every American
heart.
1t is the privilege Of Postmasters and others
associated with the postal service, in common with
all other citizens, to give to this enterprise such sup
port as their judgment and feelings may prompt
Il is as citizens, and not officers that their in
Auence will be invoked, and doubt not that, in
this laudable ehdeAvor worthily to illustrate and
perpetuate the fame-of the Father Of his Country,
they will yield to none in the promptness and ear
nes:ness Of their cooperation.

GREAT HAIL SToKM IN New HAMPsuIRE-A let
ter dated North Ssnbornton N. H., July 9th, says:
ssWe had terrific thunder storm, accompanied with
hail. About eighty panes Of glass we're broken ia
front of the house all the front rooms we're dsluged
there were hsndfuls Of big stones and glass fling
everywhero I suppose it cid not last more thaa
FIVE minutes The stones averaged as lags as
robins egg. Every thing of the vegetable kind in
our immediate neighborhOod is killed. Tho storm
did not extend but few miles. Our wheat, corr,
potatoes, garden vegetables and apples all gone
II is enough to 1k feel sick TO look out of the
windows-the grspe-vines all gone, Gnd e7erythiDg
looks sad and fal-ike 1t is now the middle Of the
sfteFnooa, and there has net been heat enough in
the sunshine to melt the hail-stone5 yet"

Loss OF Cotton Mt Sea.

Thoss who have watched with any interest the
losses at sea reported during the year. scarcely
fail to have noticed the CREST number of cotton
ships burned at Sea- ami the immense losses report
ed. Our Insurance Companies have lost so heavily
that inquiries into the Of these disasters have
bsen made From those who have investigated the
MISTER, and who are most competent to impart;slly
judge we learn that the disasters arise almost en-
trely from the use of oil and grease on and about
the cotton presses in New 0re cans and shipboard
The evil Of the first be easily corrected, but
otherwise it should be we'll considered by our In
surancs Companies in their policies. and by cotton
shippers. In the New York Steam Cotton Press the
machinery is entirely away from the press itself,
and under ordinary circumstances oil cannot in the
slightest degree get in oontset with the csttOa.
Similar improvements should be adopted the cot
ton presses in the Souih. The great evil appears,
however, be in the u-e of sush and grease in any
degree board cotton Ships and it may be suggest
ed whether the adoption exclusively of some such
Material ss soap for the purposes for which slush
aud grease now used, should not be made
clause IN all cotton insurance policies The contact
of grease and cotton win produce combustion almost
inevisbly, and there is little chance ofsnything bet
ter than total loss when this ,urs on boarl
cotton ship. To show the large losses which have
taken place lately in the burning Of cotton ships,
We have prepared, with labor, the disasters by FIRE
and the losses On Gotten ships froEfthe beginning
Of the cotton year. September lst 1858, to the pres
ent time; .
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1859-08-06

II will be seen that The aggregate loss is nearly
million Of dollars; or, taking average year, about
ten % cent of total yearly loss to our whole COM
merce; or loss Of nearly one-half 79 cent of the
whole cotton crop. When it is considered that the
cotton shipments form but comparatively small
portion of the total commerce, and that almost
leans the magnitude of the evil may be appreciated
The comparison is still more forcible when We
slider that the total shipments from New Orleans
only, on the average L 500, 900 bales, valued at
500. DOC, 600. making the loss separating the New
Orleans Gotten ships from the others) over three
quarters q cent Of the total shipments. Our in

HEAVY ROBBERY AT WILMINGTON. DEL.

HEAVY RoBgERY AT WILMINGTON, DEL. -
On Sunday night the countng-house of $. &
NJ. Pennock, at Wilmington, Del, was bur-
gariously entcltd. The robbers obtained
access by means of a crowbar, and the same
implement was used to force open the fire
proof safe, from which they took about
81 200 in money. The safe was thought to
be an unusually strong one, costing about
$500, but the thieves, by means of crowbar,
literally beat to pieces the outer door, over
the bolts. Two of the bolts We're bent and
drawn out. The Delaware Gazette says:
Across the centre of the safe was thick
iron bar. secured by paddock. This lock
was pryed open. They then cut with an old
axe and beat and broke through the sheetipg,
which is nearly quarter of an inch thick,
directly over the keyhole of the main lock,
aud by prying off small piece at time,
succeeded in getting at the works of the lock
which is complete wreck, almost broken to
pieces. They were thus enabled to pry back
the front bolts and open Doth outer doors. -
They then commenced at the bottom of the
inner doors to pry with chisel, and succeed
ed by degrees in entering the chisel between
the doors up to within about four inches of
the lock in the cencre, when the brass bolt OF
this lock was broken, and the casing Of the
lock, which is of quarter inch cast iron, also
split off, and gave them free access to the
whole of the interior Of the safe.
