This sum is not sufficient to warrant the Com
mittee in commencing any work: but in order
that they may arrive at some definite knowledge
of the amount TO be devoted to such purpose,
they have fixed upon the following plan: Sub
scriptons to be solicited between this and the 10th
day of October ensuing at which date the Com
mitteo will proceed to contract for the building of
monument to the extent Of the means on hand
1t therefore rests with the people of California in
whose defense he laid down his life, to determine
the character of the Monument TO the Memory Of
David c. Broderck. Those having subscription
lists IN their possession are called upon to make
immediate returns thereof as a full list of all
donors and subscribers, as well as all delinquent
agents will be published on or before the 18th of
October. Parties DESTROYS of cOntributin to the
Monument Fund, can do so by depositng their
amounts at the Savings and Loan SOcetys Bank,
to the credit Of the Fund, or wi tn any of the

sire to submit designs for TIE Monument, will re-
ceive every information by calling on c. d. Carter

all those who hold the memory of the good and
great in reverence as well as the patriotic in gen
eral, TO lcnd their ald towards the contamination
Of their trust. The present is peculiarly fitting
period for the erection of Monument which
stall be as endurable as the Union, to the memory
of one of the first martyrs to cause which at
this day has such hosts Of advocates in California
Trusting TO meet with a prompt response, the
Committee RESPECTFULLY submit the above.

dun on the last Pony way-bill stated that
the Hannibal and ST. Joseph railroad was

A WORD TO YOUNG MEN.-One of the
meanest things young man can be guilty OF,
and it is not of uncommon occurrence, is to
monopoize the time and attention of Young
girl for year or more without any definite
object, and to the exclusion of other gentle
men, who, surprising him to have matrimo-
NAL intentions, absent themselves from her
society. This dogin-the-manger way of
proceeding should be discountenanced and
forbidden by all parents aud guardians 1t

marriage, and fastens upon the young lady,

now, (unless 10y a cessation of hostiities on

craven. The rebels commenced the war
against orr Government and its citizens, and
peace on the part of the Government can
only be made by cowardly sacrifice of its
honor, base betrayal of the interests of its
citizens, or 10y complete subjugation. Let
those who drew the sword without cause re-

which any President Of tile United States
was ever treated at an official reception
with such gross discourtesy as marked the
haranguc Of Fernando Wood, the Mayor
Of New York to Mr. LINCOLN, on Thurs.
day last; and lie, malignant as he is, had
still enough respect for the Presidential Of.
flee to Insult its prospective incumbent by
implication. AS Mayor Of New York."

representative capacity to extend to you

heartfelt greeting) in behalf of the Corpo-

to say these cold words Of ceremony. .Ac-
cept them if you like; if not, do the next
